Izikeli 17

1 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasmi'ne,

Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 Vahe'mofo mofavremoka, fronka kema kasamisua nanekea Israeli vahera zamasmio.

“Son of man, pose a riddle; speak a parable to the house of Israel

3 Amanage hunka zamasamio, Mikozama Kegava Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie hunka zamasamio, mago ra tumpamofona ra agekonarare hunte'negeno, azokamo'a za'za huno ruzahu ruzahu avonkrenakre huno konarari'amo'a agatere'nea tumpamo hareno Lebanoni zafafi vuno sida zafamofo amumpa ome nekafrie.

and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘A great eagle with great wings and long pinions, full of feathers of many colors, came to Lebanon and took away the top of the cedar.

4 Hagi ana sida zafa amumpama akafriteno'a erino keonke'zama zagore'ma netraza vahe'mokizmi mopafi vuno, ana vahe'mokizmi rankumapi ome kri'ne.

He plucked off its topmost shoot, carried it to the land of merchants, and planted it in a city of traders.

5 Hagi ana'ma huteno'a ana tumpamo'a mago'a avimzana Israeli mopafintira erino vuno, knare huno tima'ane mopafi ome hankre'ne. Hagi anama hankre'neana, rama'a ti me'nefi wilo zafa hankreankna huno ome hankre'ne.

He took some of the seed of the land and planted it in fertile soil; he placed it by abundant waters and set it out like a willow.

6 Ana avimzamo'a hageno waini zafa sampreno, mopafi rafu'nare'ne. Hagi ana azankunamo'za eri arufagagi'za ana tumpama mani'nerega zamavugosa hunente'za, agata hage'za azankunara omere emere hu'naze.

It sprouted and became a spreading vine, low in height, with branches turned toward him; yet its roots remained where it stood. So it became a vine and yielded branches and sent out shoots.

7 Hagi ete mago ra tumpamofona anahukna huno ra agekona hunte'negeno, rama'a azoka me'ne. Hagi ana waini zafamofo arafu'naramine azankunatmimo'za ana tumpamo'a ti erino egahie hu'za zamagesa nentahi'za, rukrahe hu'za ana tumpama mani'nea kaziga zamavugosa hunte'naze.

But there was another great eagle with great wings and many feathers. And behold, this vine bent its roots toward him. It stretched out its branches to him from its planting bed, so that he might water it.

8 Hianagi ana waini zafama hankre'neana rama'a azankuna reno rama'a ragarami renenteno, knare waini zafa fore hinogu knare mopafi tinkenare hankre'ne.

It had been planted in good soil by abundant waters in order to yield branches and bear fruit and become a splendid vine.’

9 Hanki Ra Anumzana miko'zama kegavama hu'nea Anumzamo'a amanage hie hunka zamasamio, ana wainimo'a knare huno hageno marerino raga reontegahianki, Nagra rafuna'a eri vatitrenugeno raga reontenigeno a'ninamo'a hariri hanigeno osaparegahie. Nagra amuhoa osu'na fru hu'na eri vati tregahuankino, mago hankave vahe'mo'a eme vati otresigeno rama'a sondia vahe'mo'zanena eme vati otregahaze.

So you are to tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Will it flourish? Will it not be uprooted and stripped of its fruit so that it shrivels? All its foliage will wither! It will not take a strong arm or many people to pull it up by its roots.

10 Hagi ana wainima ete vatinoma krisiana, knare huno hagegahifi ko? Ifi zage hanati kazigati'ma esia zaho'mo eme eri hagage hugahio? I'o, anama knare'ma huno hageno mareri'nea mopafi mani'neno hagage hugahie.

Even if it is transplanted, will it flourish? Will it not completely wither when the east wind strikes? It will wither on the bed where it sprouted.’”

11 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasmi'ne,

Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

12 Keontahi Israeli vahera amanage hunka zamasmio, Tamagra tumpamofo fronka kemofo agafa'a antahi ani' hu'nazafi? Babiloni kumate kini ne'mo'a Jerusalemi kumate eno, kini ne'ene ugagota kva vahe'araminena zamavareno Babiloni vu'ne hunka zamasamio.

“Now say to this rebellious house: ‘Do you not know what these things mean?’ Tell them, ‘Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, carried off its king and officials, and brought them back with him to Babylon.

13 Hagi Juda kva vahe'mofo mofavre'ramimpinti mago ne' avreno ana ne'ene huhagerafi huvempage nehuno, agri agoragama mani'neno maka kema haniama antahimisigura huvempage hu'ne. Ana nehuno ana mopafima ugagotama hu'naza kva vahetmina zamavareno Babiloni kumate vu'ne.

He took a member of the royal family and made a covenant with him, putting him under oath. Then he carried away the leading men of the land,

14 Hagi e'inama hu'neana Israeli vahe'mo'za hanaveti'za hara huonte'za, agri agorga mani'neza agri kema nevaririza mopazmire'ma manisagu huvempa kea hu'naze.

so that the kingdom would be brought low, unable to lift itself up, surviving only by keeping his covenant.

15 Hianagi Juda kini ne'mo'a Babiloni kini nera ha' arenenteno, ha'ma eme aza huza hanagu rama'a sondia vahetamine hosi afutaminena Isipi kumateti ome zamavarenka eno huno agri agi'ma erino Isipima unemania eri'za ne'a hunte'ne. Hagi ana antahintahi'amo'a ome knare hugahifi? E'i ana'ma hania zamo'a Babiloni kini ne'mofo azampintira rugraru vazigahifi? Nanekema huvempa huke huhagerafina'a kea ruhantgino atreno fregahifi?

But this king rebelled against Babylon by sending his envoys to Egypt to ask for horses and a large army. Will he flourish? Will the one who does such things escape? Can he break a covenant and yet escape?’

16 Kasefa hu'na mani'noa Ra Anumzana Nagra hankavenentake Anumzamo'na huankino, tamage huno Juda kini ne'mo'a kinima azeri otigekema kema anakike huhagerafi huvempa kema hu'na'a kini ne'mofo kumapi Babiloni frigahie.

‘As surely as I live,’ declares the Lord GOD, ‘he will die in Babylon, in the land of the king who enthroned him, whose oath he despised and whose covenant he broke.

17 Hagi Babiloni sondia vahe'mo'ma Juda vahe kuma'ma avazagi kagiza mani'neza ha'ma hanaza zama kuma keginamofo megi'ama mopama ante hihi hu'za mani'neza rama'a vahe'ma zamahe fri'zama nehanageno'a, Isipi kini ne' Fero'a hankave sondia vahe'a zamavareno egahianagi, zamaza osugahaze.

Pharaoh with his mighty army and vast horde will not help him in battle, when ramps are built and siege walls constructed to destroy many lives.

18 Hagi Juda kini ne'mo'a kema ananekino huvempama hu'nea kea ruha'nentagino Babiloni kini ne'enema huhagerafi'nea kea ovariri'ne. Na'ankure agra azana ante nagamuteno huvempa huteno, ana kea ovariri'neankino ana knazana agate'oregahie.

He despised the oath by breaking the covenant. Seeing that he gave his hand in pledge yet did all these things, he will not escape!’

19 E'ina hu'negu miko'zama kegava hu'noa Ra Anumzamo'na huankino, Nagri nagifima huhagerafi huvempa kema hu'neana ruhanentagino ovariri'neankina, Nagra ana nona'a knazana amigahue.

Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘As surely as I live, I will bring down upon his head My oath that he despised and My covenant that he broke.

20 Nagra kukoni'a eri atranenkeno ana kukomo azerinige'na avre'na Babiloni kumate knazana ome amigahue. Na'ankure huvempama hu'nea kea rutagreno, Nagritera mani fatgo hunora omani'ne.

I will spread My net over him and catch him in My snare. I will bring him to Babylon and execute judgment upon him there for the treason he committed against Me.

21 Hagi hankave sondia vahe'aramina bainati kazinteti zamahe hana hanige'za, manisaza sondia vahe'mo'za maka kaziga atre'za panani hu'za fresagenka, Ra Anumzamo hu'nea kante amanara hie hunka kenka antahinka hugahane.

All his choice troops will fall by the sword, and those who survive will be scattered to every wind. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken.’

22 Hagi Mika'zama Kegava Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Nagra zaza sida zafamofo amumpa'a akafri'na, Israeli mopafima za'za huno mareri agatere'nea agonafi ome krigahue.

This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will take a shoot from the lofty top of the cedar, and I will set it out. I will pluck a tender sprig from its topmost shoots, and I will plant it on a high and lofty mountain.

23 Hianagi Israeli mopafima za'za huno mareri agatere'nesia agonafi ome krisugeno, hageno ome rahuno azankunatamina vuno eno huno ragaramina renenteno marerisa zafa fore hanigeno, agigu agigu namaramimo'za e'za ana sida zafa tonapinka nona eme ki'za manigahaze.

I will plant it on the mountain heights of Israel so that it will bear branches; it will yield fruit and become a majestic cedar. Birds of every kind will nest under it, taking shelter in the shade of its branches.

24 Hagi zaza zafaramina eri atupa nehu'na, atupa zafaramina eri za'za nehu'na, kasefa zafaramina eri hagage nehu'na, hagage zafaramina eri kasefa hanenkeno kasefa huno hageno marerinke'za, Nagrikura Ra Anumza mani'ne hu'za zafaramimo'za ke'za antahi'za hugahaze. Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na huanki'na ana zana hugahue.

Then all the trees of the field will know that I am the LORD. I bring the tall tree down and make the low tree tall. I dry up the green tree and make the withered tree flourish. I, the LORD, have spoken, and I have done it.’”
