Ezekiel 36
1 You human, prophesy about the mountains in Israel. Say to them, “You mountains in Israel, listen to what Yahweh says.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk, “Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, kaskas nu sin eol lun Israel ac fahk elos in porongo kas su nga,
2 This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Your enemies [happily] said about you, ‘Aha! The mountains in Israel that have existed for a long time have become ours!’”
LEUM GOD Fulatlana, ac fahk nu selos: Mwet lokoalok lun Israel elos israsrinkusrai ac fahk, “Fineol fulat ma oan oemeet me, inge ma lac lasr!’
3 Therefore prophesy about those mountains and say, “This is what Yahweh the Lord declares: [Armies of other nations] attacked you [DOU] from every direction, with the result that your land became abandoned, and people of other nations occupied you, and they spoke maliciously about you and slandered you.
“Fahkak kas in palu ac akkalemye ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, ac fahk inge. Ke mutunfacl ma atulani nu sum elos mweuni kom ac sruokya fineol lun Israel, mwet nukewa arulana isrun kom.
4 Therefore, you mountains in Israel, listen to this message from me. I, Yahweh the Lord, have something to say to the hills and mountains, to the ravines and valleys, to the deserted ruins and towns whose valuable possessions have been taken and their people ridiculed by the people of other nations around them. This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: I am very angry [DOU] with the people of Edom and other nations; they have forced you [Israeli people] to endure them insulting you.
Inge porongo ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, ac fahk nu suwos fineol ac inging uh, infacl srisrik ac infahlfal uh, acn su oan in musalla la ac siti ma wanginla mwet we, su pisreyukla ma we ac aksruksrukiyuk sin mutunfacl nukewa ma raunikowosla.
“Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk ma inge in fol lun kasrkusrak luk lain mutunfacl su apunla acn uh — aok lain facl Edom yokna. Elos tuh israsrinkusra ac filangkin ke elos eisla facl sik ac sruokya acn in tohf kosro we tuh in ma lalos.
“Ke ma inge, kom in fahk kas in palu inge nu sin Israel. Fahkang nu sin eol, inging, infacl, ac infahlfal uh kas ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, ac fahk ke kasrkusrak ac lemta luk, ke sripen lumah ma facl saya uh oru in akmwekinyalos ac aklusrongtenyalos.
7 Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: Lifting up my arm, I solemnly declare that the people of the nations that are around you will also endure being insulted.
Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, wulela ku mu mutunfacl nukewa ma raunelosla inge ac fah arulana akpusiselyeyuk.
8 But [I say to] you mountains in Israel that huge crops of fruit will grow on your trees for my Israeli people, because they will soon return home [from Babylonia].
Na sak nukewa fineol in acn Israel ac fah ungungi ke sra ac isus fahko nu suwos mwet Israel, su mwet luk. Ac tia paht, kowos ac sifil foloko nu in acn suwos uh.
9 I (am concerned about/will take care of) you, and I will bless you. I will [enable farmers to] plow the ground and plant seed there.
Nga ac fah wi kowos, ac oru tuh acn in ima lowos in sifil kihlingyukyak in fisrasr, ac sacn sunowos fah sifilpa yoki fac.
10 I will cause the number of people who live on you mountains and everywhere else in Israel to greatly increase. People will live in the towns and rebuild [houses where there are now only] ruins.
Nga fah akpusye mwet in facl sum. Kowos ac fah sifilpa muta in siti, ac musaeak ma nukewa ma tuh musalla we.
11 I will cause the number of people and domestic animals to increase. People will have many children [IDM, DOU]. I will enable people to live there like they did previously, and I will enable them to prosper like they did before. Then you will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Nga fah akpusye mwet ac cow nutuwos uh. Kowos ac fah arulana puseni liki meet, oayapa tulik nutuwos ac fah arulana puseni. Nga ac fah oru kowos in sifilpa muta we oana meet ah, ac oru tuh kowos in kapkapak yohk liki na meet ah. Na kowos fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.
12 I will enable my Israeli people to walk through your mountains. They will own you; you will be their permanent possession. Never again will their children die.
Kowos mwet Israel, mwet luk, nga ac fah folokinkowosme in sifilpa muta fin acn suwos inge. Ac fah ma suwos sifacna, ac tulik nutuwos ac fah tia sifil misa ke masrinsral.
13 This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you: People say that [only a small amount of food is produced on your mountains, and as a result the people of Israel] die from hunger.
“Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk: Pwaye lah mwet uh pangon facl suwos facl in mongo mwet, ac elos fahk pac mu facl se inge pisrala tulik nutin mutunfacl suwos.
14 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that no longer will that happen.
Tusruktu, ingela facl se inge ac fah tia sifil mongo mwet, ku pisre tulik nutuwos. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge.
15 No longer will the people of other nations ridicule you; no longer will they laugh at you; no longer will [the armies of] other nations conquer you. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have declared that it will happen.”
Nga fah tia sifil lela kowos in lohng ke mutunfacl saya uh ac aksruksrukye kowos, ku liye ke mwet uh isrun kowos. Acn uh ac tia sifil pisre tulik natul uh. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge.”
16 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
17 “You human, when the Israeli people were living in their own land, they (defiled it/caused it to become unacceptable to me) by the things that they did. I considered that their behavior was [disgusting], like [SIM] the rags/cloths that women use during their monthly menstrual periods.
“Mwet sukawil, ke mwet Israel tuh muta in facl selos, elos tuh akfohkfokyelana acn uh ke ouiyen moul lalos ac orekma lalos. Nga liye tuh ouiyen moul lalos inge akfohkfokyalos oana sie mutan el fohkfokla ke musen malem lal.
18 So I severely punished [MTY] them, because they had murdered [MTY] many people and because they had defiled the land by [worshiping] idols there.
Nga tuh sang elos in pula upaiyen kasrkusrak luk ke sripen akmas elos oru fin facl sac, oayapa ke sripen ma sruloala ma elos akfohkfokyela acn uh kac.
19 I caused them to be scattered among many nations [DOU]. I punished [MTY] them like they deserved to be punished because of their very evil behavior [DOU].
Nga tuh kaskas lainulos ke sripen ouiyen moul ac orekma lalos, ac nga akfahsryeloselik inmasrlon mutunfacl puspis.
20 And wherever they went among those nations, they caused my reputation [MTY] to be disgraced. What has happened is that the people in those countries said about the Israeli people, ‘They belong to Yahweh, but they were forced to leave the land that he [gave to them].’
Yen nukewa elos som nu we, elos aklusrongtenye Ine mutal luk, mweyen mwet uh fahk mu, ‘Mwet inge mwet lun LEUM GOD, tusruktu elos lisyukla liki facl sel.’
21 But I was concerned about my reputation, which the people of Israel had disgraced among the nations to which they were forced to go.
Ma inge tuh oru nga nunku na yohk ke Ine mutal luk, mweyen mwet Israel uh akpusiselye Inek yen nukewa elos som nu we.
22 Therefore, say to the Israeli people, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: You Israeli people, it is not for your sake that I am going to do these things. Instead, it is for the sake of my sacred reputation, which you have disgraced among the nations to which you were forced to go.
“Ke ma inge, fahkang nu sin mwet Israel kas su nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk nu selos uh: Ma nga akola in oru inge tia ma ke sripowos mwet Israel, a nga ac oru ke sripen Ine mutal luk, su kowos aklusrongtenye in acn nukewa ma kowos som nu we uh.
23 I will show that my reputation is sacred, a reputation which you have disgraced among the nations to which you were forced to go. And when I show the nations that I am holy, the people of those nations will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Ke nga ac fahkak nu sin mutunfacl uh lupan mutal lun Ine fulatlana luk — Ine se su kowos aklusrongtenye inmasrlolos uh — na elos ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge. Nga ac fah orekmakin kowos in akkalemye nu sin mutunfacl uh lah nga mutal.
24 What I will do is to bring you back from those nations. I will gather you from all the countries [to which you were forced to go], and bring you back to your own land.
Nga ac fah uskowosme liki facl nukewa ma kowos muta we, ac folokinkowosla nu in facl suwos sifacna.
25 [It will be as though] [MET] I will sprinkle clean water on you, and then you will be clean. I will cause you to be cleansed from everything that has defiled you, and I will cause you to stop worshiping idols.
Nga ac fah usrukya kof nasnas nu fowos, ac aknasnasyekowosla liki ma sruloala ac ma nukewa ma akfohkfokyekowosla uh.
26 I will give you a completely new way of thinking [IDM]. I will enable you to stop being stubborn [IDM], and I will enable you to obey me from your inner beings [IDM].
Nga ac fah sot nu suwos inse sasu ac nunak sasu. Nga ac fah eisla liki kowos inse likkeke su oana eot, ac asot nu suwos inse akosten.
27 I will put my Spirit within you and enable you to carefully obey all my laws [DOU].
Nga ac fah filiya ngunik in kowos, ac oru tuh kowos in fahsr tukun ma sap luk, ac liyaung ma nukewa nga sapkin nu suwos.
28 You will again live in the land that I gave to your ancestors. You will be my people, and I will be your God.
Na kowos fah muta in facl se su nga tuh sang nu sin mwet matu lowos meet ah. Kowos ac fah mwet luk, ac nga fah God lowos.
29 I will free you from all your disgraceful behavior. I will cause your grain to be plentiful, and I will not send a famine to you again.
Nga ac fah molikowosla liki ma nukewa ma akfohkfokyekowosla. Nga ac fah sapkin tuh fokin ima lowos in arulana puseni, in tia sifil oasr pacl in sracl.
30 I will cause your fruit trees to produce plenty of fruit and your ground to produce plenty of good crops, with the result that you will no longer be ridiculed by the people of other nations because of your not having enough food.
Nga ac fah akpusye fokinsak ac fokin ima lowos, tuh in tia sifil oasr pacl in sracl in akmwekinye kowos inmasrlon mutunfacl saya uh.
31 When that happens, you will think about your previous evil behavior and wicked deeds, and you will (be very displeased with/hate) yourselves for your sins and the detestable things that you did.
Na kowos ac fah esamak orekma koluk ac sesuwos lowos meet ah, ac kowos ac fah sifacna mwekyekin kowos ke sripen orekma koluk ac sufal lowos.
32 But I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that I want you to know that it is not for your sake that I will do those things. You Israeli people ought to be ashamed of your behavior.
Mwet Israel, nga ke kowos in etu lah nga tia oru ma inge ke sripowos. Nga kena kowos in arulana mwekin ac oakasla ke orekma koluk lowos. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge.”
33 This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: At the time that I forgive you for all the sins that you have committed, I will enable you to live in your towns again and to build houses where there are now only ruins.
Na LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk, “Ke nga ac aknasnasyekowosla liki ma koluk lowos, nga fah lela tuh kowos in sifil muta in siti suwos, ac musaela ma nukewa ma musalla we.
34 People who walk through your country will see that your land is again cultivated instead of (being desolate/having nothing growing in it).
Mwet nukewa ma tuh fahsr in ima lowos elos tuh liye lah acn uh turangangla, tusruktu nga ac oru kowos in sifilpa yokwala.
35 They will say, “This land that was ruined has become [very fertile/productive] like [SIM] the garden of Eden! The cities that were piles of ruins, empty and destroyed, now have walls around them, and people live in those cities.”
Mwet nukewa ac fah sramsramkin facl se inge, su tuh oana sie acn mwesis ac inge ekla oana Ima Eden, ac siti su tuh arulana musalla ac pisreyukla ma nukewa we, inge sifil potiyukyak ac mwet uh muta we.
36 When that happens, the people in the nations that are around you that still exist will know that it is I, Yahweh, who have enabled you to rebuild what was destroyed, and to again plant crops in the fields that had nothing growing in them. I, Yahweh, have said [that it will happen], and I will cause it to happen.
Na mutunfacl atulani lowos su painmoulla uh, fah etu lah nga, LEUM GOD, sifil musaeak siti musalla ac sifil yukwiya ima mwelalla uh. Nga, LEUM GOD, wulela mu nga ac oru ma inge, ac nga fah oru.”
37 This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: Again I will heed what you Israeli people are pleading for me to do for you. I will cause your people to be as numerous as your sheep,
LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk, “Nga ac sifilpa lela mwet Israel in siyuk kasru sik, ac nga ac fah oru elos in arulana puseni, oana un sheep uh.
38 as numerous as the flocks of sheep that will be needed for offerings in Jerusalem during your regular festivals. The cities that are now ruined will be filled with people, and then you will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
Siti su oan musalla inge ac fah tingtingi ke mwet oana ke acn Jerusalem tuh tingtingi ke sheep in kisa ke pacl in kufwa. Na elos fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.”
