< Ezekiel 33 >
1 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
2 “Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and tell them, ‘When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land take a man from amongst them, and set him for their watchman,
“Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, fahkak nu sin mwet lom an ma ac sikyak nga fin oru tuh in oasr mweun nu sin sie facl. Mwet in facl sac ac sulela sie selos in mwet san lalos.
3 if, when he sees the sword come on the land, he blows the trumpet and warns the people,
El fin liya lah mwet lokoalok elos tuku, na el ac ukya mwe ukuk in sensenkakin mwet uh.
4 then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and doesn’t heed the warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.
Sie mwet fin lohng ac pilesru, ac mwet lokoalok elos tuku ac unilya, mwatan misa lal ma na lal sifacna.
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet and didn’t take warning. His blood will be on him; whereas if he had heeded the warning, he would have delivered his soul.
Misa lal uh ma el sifacna oru, mweyen el tia lohang nu ke sulkakinyen tuku lun mwet lokoalok ah. El funu lohang nu kac, el lukun ku in kaingla.
6 But if the watchman sees the sword come and doesn’t blow the trumpet, and the people aren’t warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from amongst them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’
Tusruktu mwet san sac fin liye ke mwet lokoalok uh tuku ac el tia ukya mwe ukuk, na mwet lokoalok uh ac tuku ac uniya mwet koluk inge, ac mwatan misa lalos ac fah ma lun mwet san sac.
7 “So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warnings from me.
“Inge, mwet sukawil, nga ac oru tuh kom in sie mwet san nu sin mutanfahl Israel. Kom enenu in tafwela nu selos kas in sensenkakin ma nga ac sot nu sum.
8 When I tell the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ and you don’t speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at your hand.
Nga fin fahkak lah sie mwet koluk el ac misa, ac kom tia sensenkakinul elan ku in forla liki orekma koluk lal ac molela moul lal, na el ac misa sie mwet koluk, ac nga ac fah filiya mwatan misa lal uh nu fom.
9 Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he doesn’t turn from his way; he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.
Kom fin sensenkakin sie mwet koluk ac el tia tui liki orekma koluk lal, el ac misa ke el srakna sie mwet koluk, a funu kom, kom ac moulna.”
10 “You, son of man, tell the house of Israel: ‘You say this, “Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we pine away in them. How then can we live?”’
Na LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ac fahk, “Mwet sukawil, sifilpa fahk nu sin mwet Israel ma elos fahk inge: ‘Kut toasrna ke ma koluk lasr ac ma sufal ma kut orala uh. Kut munaslana. Kut ac ku in moul fuka?’
11 Tell them, ‘“As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why will you die, house of Israel?”’
Fahk nu selos lah ke sripen nga LEUM GOD Fulatlana ac nga God moul, nga tia engankin in liye ke sie mwet koluk el misa. Nga kena liye elan tui liki orekma koluk lal, tuh elan moul. Mwet Israel, tui liki orekma koluk lowos an. Efu ku kowos lungse misa?
12 “You, son of man, tell the children of your people, ‘The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him in the day of his disobedience. And as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not fall by it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither will he who is righteous be able to live by it in the day that he sins.
“Inge, mwet sukawil, fahk nu sin mwet Israel lah sie mwet wo el fin oru ma koluk, ma wo ma el orala tari tia ku in molella. Sie mwet koluk el fin tui liki orekma koluk lal, el ac fah tia kalyeiyuk, ac sie mwet wo fin mutawauk in orekma koluk, moul lal uh ac fah tia sekoeyuk.
13 When I tell the righteous that he will surely live, if he trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but he will die in his iniquity that he has committed.
Nga fin wulela nu sin sie mwet wo mu el ac moul, tusruktu el fin nunku mu ma wo el orala meet ah ku in molella ac el mutawauk in orekma koluk, nga ac tia esam kutena ma wo ma el orala meet. El ac misa ke sripen orekma koluk lal.
14 Again, when I say to the wicked, “You will surely die,” if he turns from his sin and does that which is lawful and right,
Nga ku pac in sensenkakin sie mwet koluk lah el ac misa, tusruktu el fin tui liki orekma koluk lal, ac oru ma wo ac suwohs —
15 if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity, he will surely live. He will not die.
kalmac pa el fin folokunla mwe akpwaye nu sin mwet se ma ngusr mani sel, ku el folokunla ma el tuh pisrala — el fin tui liki orekma koluk lal, ac moul fal nu ke ma sap su sang moul nu sel, el ac fah tiana misa, a el fah moul.
16 None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done that which is lawful and right. He will surely live.
Nga ac fah nunak munas ke ma koluk nukewa el tuh orala, na el ac fah moul mweyen el oru ma wo ac suwohs.
17 “‘Yet the children of your people say, “The way of the Lord is not fair;” but as for them, their way is not fair.
“Mwet lom ingan fahk mu ma nga oru uh tia suwohs! Mo — ma elos oru uh pa tia suwohs uh.
18 When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will even die therein.
Sie mwet wo fin tui liki orekma wo lal ac mutawauk in orekma koluk, el ac fah misa kac.
19 When the wicked turns from his wickedness and does that which is lawful and right, he will live by it.
Sie mwet koluk fin tui liki orekma koluk, ac oru ma suwohs ac wo, el fah moul.
20 Yet you say, “The way of the Lord is not fair.” House of Israel, I will judge every one of you after his ways.’”
A mwet Israel, kowos fahk mu ma nga oru uh tia suwohs. Nga ac fah nununkekowos fal nu ke ma kowos oru uh.”
21 In the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, “The city has been defeated!”
In len aklimekosr in malem aksingoul ke yac aksingoul luo in sruoh lasr, sie mukul su kaingla liki acn Jerusalem el tuku fahk nu sik lah siti sac musalla.
22 Now the LORD’s hand had been on me in the evening, before he who had escaped came; and he had opened my mouth until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no longer mute.
In eku se meet liki el tuku ah, nga pulakin ku lun LEUM GOD oan fuk. Na ke mukul sac tuku ke lotu se tok ah, LEUM GOD El sifilpa folokunma ku nu sik tuh ngan ku in kaskas.
23 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik
24 “Son of man, those who inhabit the waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, ‘Abraham was one, and he inherited the land; but we are many. The land is given us for inheritance.’
ac fahk, “Mwet sukawil, mwet su muta in siti musalla lun Israel elos fahk mu: ‘Abraham el mwet sefanna, ac facl se inge nufon itukyang nu sel. Inge kut arulana pus, ouinge acn uh ituku in ma lac lasr.’
25 Therefore tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. So should you possess the land?
“Fahk nu selos ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk inge: Kowos kang ikwa ma srakna oasr srah kac. Kowos alu nu ke ma sruloala. Kowos akmas. Efu ku kowos nunku mu acn uh ma lowos?
26 You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and every one of you defiles his neighbour’s wife. So should you possess the land?”’
Kowos filiya lulalfongi lowos ke cutlass nutuwos. Kowos oru mwe srungayuk. Mwet nukewa orek kosro. Efu ku kowos nunku mu acn uh ma lowos?
27 “You shall tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “As I live, surely those who are in the waste places will fall by the sword. I will give whoever is in the open field to the animals to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves will die of the pestilence.
“Fahkang nu selos lah nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk mu ke sripen nga pa God moul, mwet su muta in siti musalla uh ac fah anwuki ke mweun. Elos su muta inima uh ac fah mongola sin kosro lemnak. Ac elos su wikwik fineol uh ac in luf uh ac fah misa ke mas upa.
28 I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment. The pride of her power will cease. The mountains of Israel will be desolate, so that no one will pass through.
Nga fah sukela facl selos in mwesisla, ac ku se su elos arulana inse fulat kac ac fah safla. Finne eol in facl Israel, ac fah wanginla ma oan fac, oru wangin mwet ku in fahla we.
29 Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment because of all their abominations which they have committed.”’
Ke pacl se nga ac kalyei mwet uh ke ma koluk lalos ac oru facl selos in sie acn sikiyukla, na elos ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.”
30 “As for you, son of man, the children of your people talk about you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak to one another, everyone to his brother, saying, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes out from the LORD.’
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet sukawil, mwet lom uh kaskas keim ke pacl elos ac osun sisken pot lun siti uh, ku ke mutunoa in lohm selos. Elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, ‘Kut som lohng lah kas fuka tuku sin LEUM GOD me.’
31 They come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but don’t do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.
Na mwet luk elos ac fahsreni in lohng lah mea kom ac fahk, tusruktu elos tia oru ma kom fahk elos in oru uh. Elos fahk kas na wowo, a elos sikalani in oru rapku lalos.
32 Behold, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they don’t do them.
Elos oru mu kom sie mwet onkakin on in lungse, mwe na akpwaryalos — wo pusrem ac kom sumat in srital ke harp. Elos lohng kas nukewa kom fahk, a tiana akos siefanna.
33 “When this comes to pass—behold, it comes—then they will know that a prophet has been amongst them.”
Tusruktu, pacl se kas lom uh ac akpwayeyeyuk — aok, ac akpwayeyeyuk — na elos ac fah etu lah oasr sie mwet palu inmasrlolos.”
