Izikeli 17

1 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasmi'ne,

The LORD’s word came to me, saying,

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

“Son of man, tell a riddle, and 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 say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “A great eagle with great wings and long feathers, full of feathers which had various colours, came to Lebanon and took 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 cropped off the topmost of its young twigs, and carried it to a land of traffic. He planted it in a city of merchants.

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 also took some of the seed of the land and planted it in fruitful soil. He placed it beside many waters. He set it as a willow tree.

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 grew and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned towards him, and its roots were under him. So it became a vine, produced branches, and shot out sprigs.

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.

“‘“There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers. Behold, this vine bent its roots towards him, and shot out its branches towards him, from the ground where it was planted, 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 was planted in a good soil by many waters, that it might produce branches and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a good 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.

“Say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Will it prosper? Won’t he pull up its roots and cut off its fruit, that it may wither, that all its fresh springing leaves may wither? It can’t be raised from its roots by a strong arm or many people.

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.

Yes, behold, being planted, will it prosper? Won’t it utterly wither when the east wind touches it? It will wither in the ground where it grew.”’”

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

Moreover the LORD’s word 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.

“Say now to the rebellious house, ‘Don’t you know what these things mean?’ Tell them, ‘Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took its king, and its princes, and brought them to 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 one of the royal offspring, and made a covenant with him. He also brought him under an oath, and took away the mighty 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.

that the kingdom might be brought low, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand.

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 he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and many people. Will he prosper? Will he who does such things escape? Will he break the covenant, and still 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 I live,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘surely in the place where the king dwells who made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, even with him in the middle of Babylon he will die.

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 great company won’t help him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build forts to cut off many persons.

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.

For he has despised the oath by breaking the covenant; and behold, he had given his hand, and yet has done all these things. He won’t 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 the Lord GOD says: ‘As I live, I will surely bring on his own head my oath that he has despised and my covenant that he has broken.

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 on him, and he will be taken in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon, and will enter into judgement with him there for his trespass that he has trespassed 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 fugitives in all his bands will fall by the sword, and those who remain will be scattered towards every wind. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken it.’

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.

“The Lord GOD says: ‘I will also take some of the lofty top of the cedar, and will plant it. I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, 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 in the mountain of the height of Israel; and it will produce boughs, and bear fruit, and be a good cedar. Birds of every kind will dwell 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.

All the trees of the field will know that I, the LORD, have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree flourish. “‘I, the LORD, have spoken and have done it.’”
