Ezekiel 21
1 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
2 “You human, turn toward Jerusalem. Preach about what will happen to the temple [there]. Preach about what will happen to the Israeli people.
“Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, fahkak kas in lain Jerusalem ac lain yen mwet uh alu we. Sang kas in sensenkakin facl Israel
3 Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh says: I am opposed to you.
lah nga, LEUM GOD, fahk mu: ‘Nga mwet lokoalok lowos. Nga ac fwauk cutlass nutik ac unikowosi nukewa, mwet wo ac mwet koluk oana sie.
4 [what I will do to you will be as though] [MET] I will pull my sword from its sheath [and strike you]. I will kill everyone, including righteous people and wicked people [DOU]. I will get rid of everyone, from the south to the north.
Nga ac orekmakin cutlass nutik uh in uni mwet nukewa, eir lac nwe epang.
5 Then everyone will know [it is as though] I, Yahweh, have struck people with my sword, and I will not put it back in its sheath again.’
Mwet nukewa fah etu lah nga, LEUM GOD, fwauk tari cutlass nutik, ac nga fah tia sifil folokonang nu yen se.
6 Therefore, you human, groan! Groan in front of the Israeli people very sadly and sorrowfully [IDM, DOU].
“Kom, mwet sukawil, sao ac tung ke asor lulap. Sasao yen mwet nukewa ac ku in liye kom we.
7 And when they ask you, ‘Why are you groaning?’ tell them, ‘Because of the news that they soon will hear. Everyone will be very fearful [IDM], and their knees will become as weak as [SIM] water. [A great disaster] will soon occur. That is what Yahweh the Lord is promising.’”
Ke elos siyuk sum lah efu kom ku tung, fahk nu selos lah ma ke sripen pweng su tuku inge. Ke pacl se ac tuku, insialos ac arulana sangeng, ac paolos ac atla ac uli, ac kuiyalos ac munasla, ac nialos ac rarrar. Pacl sac pa inge.” LEUM GOD Fulatlana pa fahk ma inge.
8 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
9 “You human, prophesy and say [to them], ‘This is what Yahweh says: I have sharpened my sword and polished it.
“Mwet sukawil, palye ac fahk nu sin mwet uh lah mea nga, LEUM GOD, fahk inge: Sie cutlass, aok sie cutlass pa twetela ac aksaromromyeyukla.
10 It is sharpened in order that I can [many people with it]; it is polished so that it will flash like lightning. The people of Judah will not [their being punished like this], but they did not repent [I only struck them] with a stick.
Temyukla in uniya, Aksaromromyeyukla in sarmelik oana sarom uh. Na ac fah wangin enganak yurin mwet luk Mweyen elos pilesru kas in sensen nukewa, oayapa kas in kai.
11 A sword should be polished, and be grasped [in someone’s hand]. It should be sharpened and polished, ready for someone to use it to kill people.
Cutlass uh akmusrala tari Ac akola in orekmakinyuk. Temyukla ac akmusrala Tuh in oan inpoun sie mwet akmas.
12 [So, ] you human, cry and wail, because I will use my sword to kill my people, including the leaders of Israel. They and all the other people, my people, will be killed by swords, so beat your [to show that you are sad].
Mwet sukawil, wowoyak ke keok; Cutlass se inge ma ac lain mwet luk Oayapa mwet kol nukewa lun mwet Israel. Elos ac anwuki Wi mwet luk nukewa. Puokya iniwom ke supwarla ac wanginla finsrak!
13 I am about to test my people, and the kings [MTY] of Judah will not escape being punished. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say.
Nga srike mwet luk inge Ac elos fin srunga auliyak, Na ma inge nukewa ac sikyak nu selos.
14 So, you human, prophesy; clap your [to show that you are very happy about what is going to happen]. My sword will strike them again and again; it is a sword for slaughtering many people, while I attack them from every side.
“Inge, mwet sukawil, palye ac paspas, na cutlass sac ac pakpuk na pakpuk. Cutlass sac mwe uniya, mwe aksangeng, ac mwe fakfuk.
15 In order that people will be very much afraid [IDM] and many people will be killed, I have [soldiers holding] my swords at every [city] gate, ready to slaughter people. Those swords will flash like lightning, as the [soldiers] grasp them to slaughter people.
Ac oru mwet luk in tila pulaik, ac elos ac fahsr tukulkul. Nga aksangengye siti selos ke sie cutlass sarmelik oana sie sarom, su akola in uniya mwet.
16 Their swords [APO] will slash to the right and [then] to the left, whichever way they turn the blades.
Kom, cutlass kosroh, pakpuk nu layot ac nu lasa. Pakpuk nu acn nukewa kom for we.
17 Then I will clap my [triumphantly]; and [then] I will no longer be angry. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
Nga fah paspas pac, na kasrkusrak luk ac fah wanginla. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
18 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik
19 “You human, [a map], and on it mark two roads for the King of Babylonia to march [along with his army, carrying] their swords. When they depart from their country, they will come to a sign post where the road divides.
ac fahk, “Mwet sukawil, akilenya lukwa inkanek ma tokosra Babylonia elan ku in ut we wi cutlass natul. Mutaweyen inkanek lukwa inge in tuku ke mutunfacl sefanna. Tulokunak sie akul an yen ma inkanek an sengelik we.
20 [If they continue on the one road, ] they will attack [city], the capital of the Ammon people-group. [If they continue on the other road, ] they will come to Judah and to Jerusalem, [a city] with walls around it.
Soko in akkalemye nu sin tokosra lah ma ac som nu Rabbah, siti lun mwet Ammon. Ac ma soko ngia, ma ac som nu Judah, nu ke Jerusalem, siti se ma akkeyeyukla ke pot ku.
21 [When the army of] Babylonia comes to where the road divides, [they will stop], and the king will perform magic rituals [to decide which road to go on]. He will throw arrows; [then] consult his [about which road to go on], and he will (examine/look at) the [of a sheep].
Tokosra lun acn Babylonia el ac tu ke akul ke yen inkanek ah sengelik we. In konauk acn el ac ut we, el usruk sukan pisr natul, na el siyuk kasru sin ma sruloala lal; na el ac lohang nu ke esan kosro soko ma kisakinyukla.
22 With his right hand he will pick up the arrow marked ‘Jerusalem’. He will [command his soldiers to go to Jerusalem. When they arrive there, they] will set up (rams/devices to [down the walls], ) and [then] the king will give the command for them to slaughter [the people]. They will shout [a battle-cry], and they will set up the rams against the [city] gates. They will build a dirt ramp [against the walls around the city], and set up things to bash those walls.
Inge, lac po layot sel sruok sukan pisr ma akilenya acn ‘Jerusalem’! Ma se inge akkalemye nu sel elan som ac akola polosak mwe fokfok mutunpot uh, na sala ke sasa lun mweun, ac likiya mwe fokfok mutunpot uh sisken pot ah, ac elosak fohk sisken pot uh, ac pukpuk laf.
23 The [in Jerusalem] who had promised [to be loyal to the King of Babylonia will think that those rituals must be wrong. They will think that his army should not be attacking them]. But he will remind them of the sins [MTY] that they had committed, [his army] will capture them.
Mwet Jerusalem ac tia lulalfongi ma inge mweyen elos orala tari sie wuleang inmasrlolos. Tusruktu kas in palu inge akesmakyalos ke ma koluk lalos, ac akkalemye nu selos lah elos ac fah sruoh.
24 Therefore, [tell the Israeli people that] this is what Yahweh the Lord says: ‘You people have allowed everyone to see that you are openly [against the King of Babylonia], and by doing that you have shown that everything that you do is sinful. Therefore you will be captured and [to Babylonia].’
Pa inge ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk uh: Ma koluk lowos kalem sin mwet e nukewa, ac elos etu lupan ma koluk lowos uh. Kalem ke mukuikui nukewa lowos, na nga fah eiskowosyang nu inpoun mwet lokoalok lowos.
25 Also, say, ‘You very wicked [DOU] king of Israel, it is your [to die]. It is the time for you to be punished.’
“Kom su mwet kol koluk ac sesuwos lun Israel, len in kaiyuk safla lom pa ac tuku inge.
26 And this is what Yahweh the Lord says [to you soldiers from Babylonia]: ‘Take off [the king’s] turban and his crown, because now things will be different than they were [before]. [in Jerusalem] who had no authority will now be given authority, and those who had authority will have their authority taken from them.
Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge. Eisya tefuro lom ac susu lom an. Wangin ma ac fah sifil oana meet. Akleumye mwet pusisel, ac akpusiselye mwet leum.
27 [Jerusalem] will be completely ruined. I will cause it to be ruined, and it will not be rebuilt/restored until the king to whom the city truly belongs comes; I will give it to [to rule it].’”
Musalla! Musalla! Aok, nga fah oru tuh siti sac in musalla. Tusruktu ac fah tia sikyak nwe ke pacl se mwet se ma nga sulela el tuku in kalyei siti uh. El pa nga fah sang siti uh nu se.
28 “And, you human, prophesy and say [this]: 'This is what Yahweh the Lord says about the Ammon people-group, and about what they have said to insult [Israel]: [“The King of Babylon says, ] ‘[My soldiers have] swords’ [APO]; they have pulled out those swords to slaughter many people. They have polished them in order to kill people, and to make those swords flash like lightning.
“Mwet sukawil, palye ac fahkak ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk nu sin mwet Ammon, su fahk kas koluk lain mwet Israel. Fahk nu selos: ‘Sie cutlass pa akola in kunausla; Akmusrala tari in uniya, in sarmelik oana sarom uh.
29 [Your prophets] have given you false visions about [what will happen to] you, and they have given you messages that are not true. So swords will strike the necks of those wicked people; it is time for them to be killed; it is the day when they will be [for their sins].
Aruruma kowos liye uh tia pwaye, ac ma kowos motko mu ac sikyak uh ma kikiap. Kowos mwet sesuwos ac koluklana. Len in kalya safla lowos ac tuku. Cutlass uh akola in twacla inkwawowos.
30 You must put your swords back in their sheaths [because the days for you to slaughter your enemies are ended]. I will judge those people in the country where they were born.
“‘Filiya cutlass an! Nga ac nununkekowos in acn kowos orekla we, in facl su kowos isusla we.
31 I will pour out my punishment [MTY] on them. Because I am very angry with them, my breath on them will scorch them [like] fire [MET]. I will allow brutal men to capture them, men who are experts in killing people.
Kowos ac pula kasrkusrak luk ke nga ac fuhleot nu fowos oana sie e firir. Ac nga ac eiskowosyang nu inpoun mwet sulallal, su arulana etu in kunaus mau.
32 You will be [like] fuel [MET] [that is burned] in a fire. Your blood will be shed in your own land. No one will remember you any more. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.” '”
Kowos ac fah isisyak ke e. Srah keiwos ac fah sororla fin facl suwos sifacna, ac wangin sie mwet ac esam kowos.’” LEUM GOD pa fahk ma inge.
