< Ezekiel 3 >

1 He said to me, “You human, eat this scroll that is in front of you. Then go and speak to the Israeli people [MTY].”
God El fahk, “Mwet sukawil moul la, kangla book limlim se inge, na kom som kaskas nu sin mwet Israel.”
2 So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat it.
Ouinge nga mangelik, ac El ase book limlim sac ngan kangla.
3 Then he said to me, “You human, eat the scroll that I have given to you. Fill your stomach with it.” So I ate it, and in my mouth it tasted as sweet as honey.
El fahk, “Mwet sukawil, kangla book limlim se nga sot nu sum uh, ac nwakla insiom kac.” Na nga kangla, ac emwem kac uh oana honey.
4 Then he said to me, “You human, go to the Israeli people [MTY] and tell them my message.
Na God El fahk, “Mwet sukawil, fahla nu yurin mwet Israel ac fahk nu selos ma nukewa nga supwekom in fahk nu selos uh.
5 The people to whom I am sending you are not people whose language is very [to learn], a language which you do not understand. I am sending you to your Israeli people [MTY].
Nga tia supwekom nu ke sie mutunfacl su kom tia kalem ke kas lalos, a nu yurin mwet na Israel.
6 I am sending you to people whose language you understand very well. If I were sending you to people whose language was difficult for you to understand, they [be surprised and] pay attention to what [say to them].
Nga funu supwekom nu in kutu mutunfacl lulap su orekmakin kas upa ma kom tia kalem kac, elos lukun lohng kom.
7 But the Israeli people do not want to listen to you because they do not want to listen to me. [They do not want to listen because] they are all very stubborn [DOU].
A funu mwet Israel, wangin sie selos ac lungse in lohng kom. Finne nga, elos tia pac lohngyu. Elos nukewa mwet likkeke ac lungse alein.
8 But I will enable you [SYN] to be as stubborn and tough as they are.
Inge nga ac oru kom in likkeke ac ku oana elos.
9 I will cause you to be as firm/unbreakable as [SIM] the hardest stone, like flint. So, [even though] they are very rebellious people, do not be afraid of them; do not allow them to cause you to be afraid.”
Nga ac oru kom in ku oana sie eot, ac keke oana sie diamond. Nimet sangeng sin mwet orek alein ingo.”
10 He also said to me, “You human, listen very carefully to what I say, and keep thinking about it [IDM].
God El sifilpa fahk, “Mwet sukawil, sang insiom in porongo ac esam ma nukewa nga fahk nu sum uh.
11 Go to your fellow Israelis who [here after being] (exiled/forced to leave their country), and speak to them. Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says,’ [and then tell them my message], whether they want to hear it or whether they do not want to hear it.”
Na kom som nu yurin mwet srahm su muta in sruoh, ac fahk nu selos ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk nu selos, lah elos ac lohng kom ku tia.”
12 [in the vision] the [of God] lifted me up, and I heard behind [someone speaking very loudly], like a loud rumbling sound. [I heard someone say, ] “Praise our glorious Yahweh in the place where he [in heaven]!”
Na ngun lun God srukyuyak, ac nga lohng sie pusra tukuk su fahk, “Kaksakin wolana lun LEUM GOD inkusrao lucng.”
13 [I heard] the sound of the wings of the four living creatures brushing against each other, [I also heard] the sound of the wheels that were beside them. It was a loud rumbling sound.
Nga lohng pusren posohksok lun ma orekla moul uh tukeni pikpik yen engyeng uh, ac kusen wheel uh su yohk pusra oana pusren kusrusr lulap.
14 The Spirit took me away. Within me I was very bitter and angry [DOU], but I felt Yahweh holding me very powerfully.
Ac ku lulap lun LEUM GOD tuku nu fuk, ac ke ngun lal usyula nga pulakin inse toasr ac kasrkusrak.
15 I came to the exiles who lived at Tel [town] near the Kebar River/ [south of Babylon]. Then, where they were living, I sat for seven days. I was [about everything that I had seen].
Na nga tuku nu Tel Abib sisken Infacl Chebar, yen ma mwet sruoh elos muta we. Nga muta we len itkosr, ac wela ke ma nga tuh liye ac lohng.
16 After those seven days had ended, Yahweh gave me this message:
Tukun len itkosr, LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik
17 “You human, I am appointing [to be like] a watchman [MET] for the Israeli people [MTY]. [So] listen to these messages that I will give you, and tell them those messages to warn them.
ac fahk, “Mwet sukawil, nga orekomla in sie mwet san nu sin mutanfahl Israel, ac kom fah fahkang nu selos kas in sensenkakunulos ke kas ma nga ac sot nu sum.
18 When I say about some wicked people, ‘They will surely [because of their sins],’ if you do not warn them or tell them that they must turn from their wicked behavior if they want to (save their lives/remain alive), those wicked people will die because of the sins that they have committed, but I will consider that you are responsible for their deaths [MTY].
Nga fin akkalemye lah mwet koluk uh ac misa, ac kom tia fahkang nu selos in aolla moul lalos tuh elos in moul, na elos ac misa ke ma koluk lalos, tusruk nga ac filiya mwatan misa lalos fom.
19 But if you warn the wicked people and they do not turn from all their wicked behavior [DOU], they will die because of their sins, but you will have saved [from my punishing you].
A kom fin sang kas in kai nu sin mwet koluk, ac elos tiana forla liki, na elos ac misa ke orekma koluk lalos, na kom ac moul.
20 Similarly, when righteous people turn from their righteous behavior and do evil deeds, I will cause bad things to happen [IDM] to them. [But you must warn them. If you do not warn them], and if they do not stop their sinful behavior, they will die because of their sins; I will not think about the righteous things that they [previously], but I will consider that you are responsible for their deaths [MTY].
“Ac fin mwet suwoswos uh mutawauk in oru ma koluk, na nga fuhlelosi in muta ke moul fosrnga, elos ac misa ke ma koluk lalos ke sripen kom tia sensenkakunulos. Nga fah tia esam ma wo elos oru meet ah, ac kom ac fah eis mwatan misa lalos.
21 But if you warn righteous people not to sin, and they do not sin, they will surely remain alive because they [your] warning, and you will have saved [from my punishing you].”
A kom fin sensenkakin mwet wo in tia oru ma koluk, ac elos lohng kom ac tia oru ma koluk, elos ac moul, ac kom ac oayapa moul.”
22 [I felt] Yahweh take control [MTY] of me, and he said to me, “Get up and go [from the city down] to the plain/valley, and there I will speak to you.”
Nga pulakin ku lun LEUM GOD oan fuk, ac nga lohng ke El fahk nu sik, “Tukakek ac tufokla nu infahlfal uh. Nga fah sramsram nu sum we.”
23 So I got up and went down to the valley. And I saw the glory of Yahweh there, like the glory that I had seen along the Kebar River/Canal. And I prostrated myself on the ground.
Ouinge nga som nu infahlfal uh, ac nga liye wolana lun LEUM GOD oana ke nga tuh liye sisken Infacl Chebar. Na nga faksufi nu infohk uh.
24 Then the [of God] entered me and enabled me to stand up. He said to me, “Go into your house and stay inside it.
Ngun lun God ilyak nu in nga ac tulokinyuyak. Ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Fahla, utyak nu in lohm sum an, ac kaliya.
25 People will tie you with ropes, with the result that you will be unable to go out among the people.
Mwet sukwil, kom ac fah kapriyuki ke sucl, ac kom ac tia ku in illa nu in wulil uh.
26 [Even though] they are very rebellious people, I will cause your tongue to stick to the roof of your mouth, with the result that you will be unable to talk and to rebuke them.
Nga fah oru tuh loum in ulla, kom in tia ku in fahk kas in sensenkakin nu sin mwet alein inge.
27 [then] when I speak to [again], I will enable you to talk [MTY], and you will say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says,’ [and you will tell them my message]. Those who are willing to [to what you say] will listen, [many] will refuse to listen, because they are rebellious people [MTY].”
Na ke nga ac sifilpa kaskas nu sum ac sifil oru kom in ku in kaskas, kom fah fahkang nu selos ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk uh. Kutu selos ac porongekom, ac kutu ac pilesrekom, mweyen elos sie mutanfahl alein.”
