Izikeli 20

1 Hagi Babilonima kinama huta mani'nonkeno 7nima hia kafumofo, namba 5fu ikamofona 10ni knazupa Israeli ranra vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofontegati antahintahi erinaku navuga emani'naze.

In the seventh year, on the tenth day of the fifth month, some of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and they sat down before me.

2 Ana hazageno Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasmi'ne,

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

3 Vahe'mofo mofavremoka, Israeli ranra vahetamina amanage hunka zamasamio, Mikozama Kegava Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a huno, tamagra Nagri nagenoka huta antahintahi erinaku e'nazo? Nagra kasefa hu'na mani'noa Ra Anumzamo'na huankita, tamagra nagenoka huta antahintahia e'origahaze.

“Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: Have you come to inquire of Me? As surely as I live, I will not be consulted by you, declares the Lord GOD.

4 Hagi kagra keaga huzmantenka refko huzmanto, vahe'mofo mofavremoka, keaga huzmantenka zamafahe'mofo hi'mnage avu'ava zama zamavariri zama nehaza zana eri ama' huge'za negenagenka,

Will you judge them, will you judge them, son of man? Confront them with the abominations of their fathers

5 amanage hunka zamasamio, Mikozama Kegava Hu'nea Anumzamo'a amanage huno hie, Israeli vahe'ma Nagri vahe manigahaze hu'nama huhampri'noa kna zupa, Isipi mopafi Jekopu mofavreramina huvempa huzmante'na Nagra Ra Anumzanamo'na tamagri Anumza mani'noe hu'na huama hu'noe.

and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: On the day I chose Israel, I swore an oath to the descendants of the house of Jacob and made Myself known to them in the land of Egypt. With an uplifted hand I said to them, ‘I am the LORD your God.’

6 Hagi ana knarera Nagra Isipi mopafintira zamavare atirami'na kasefa mopama zamigahuema hu'na huhampri'noa mopafi zamavare'na vugahue. Ana mopafina ami rine tume rimo'enena avitegeno maka mopa agatere'nea mopagino knare'zantfa huno hentofaza hu'nea mopa me'ne.

On that day I swore to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands.

7 Hagi nagra amanage hu'na zamasami'noe, hi'mnage zama ante'nazana mago mago'mota eri netreta, Isipi vahe'mofo kaza osu havi anumzana monora hunteta tamagra'a tamazeri pehena osiho hu'noe. Nagra Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumza mani'noe hu'na zamasami'noe.

And I said to them: ‘Each of you must throw away the abominations before his eyes, and you must not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.’

8 Hianagi zamagra ha'renante'za ke'ni'a ontahi'naze. Ana nehu'za ana hi'mnage zama zamavugama ante'nazana zamefira huomi, Isipi vahe'mofo havi anumzantera monora hunte'za vu'naze. Ana nehazageno Nagrira tusi narimpa ahege'na, narimpa ahezmante'na Isipi mopafi zamazeri haviza hugahue hu'noe.

But they rebelled against Me and refused to listen. None of them cast away the abominations before their eyes, and they did not forsake the idols of Egypt. So I resolved to pour out My wrath upon them and vent My anger against them in the land of Egypt.

9 Hianagi umani'naza kumate vahe'mofo zamavufima huvempama hu'na, Isipiti'ma zamavare'na egahue hu'nama hu'noa zanku nagesa nentahi'na, Nagima eri haviza nehu'za nagazema erinami zanku'ene ana zana osu'noe.

But I acted for the sake of My name, that it should not be profaned in the eyes of the nations among whom they were living, in whose sight I had revealed Myself to Israel by bringing them out of the land of Egypt.

10 E'ina hu'negu Isipi mopafintira zamavare'na atirami'na, ka'ma kokampina e'noe.

So I brought them out of the land of Egypt and led them into the wilderness.

11 Nagra tra ke'ni'a nezami'na, kasegeni'a zamasmi'noe. Na'ankure ana kasegeni'ama amage'ma antesimo'a, ofri manigahie.

And I gave them My statutes and made known to them My ordinances—for the man who does these things will live by them.

12 Hagi ana nehu'na mani fruhu kna Sabatima zami'noana, Nagri'ene zamagri'ene amu'nompi mago avame'za me'nenige'za, Ra Anumzamo huhampri ranteno tazeri ruotge hu'nea vahe mani'none hu'za ke'za antahi'za hugahaze.

I also gave them My Sabbaths as a sign between us, so that they would know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them.

13 Hianagi Israeli vahe'mo'za ka'ma kokampima ne-eza Nagri kea amage nonte'za, kasege'ni'ane tra ke'ni'anena zamefi humi'naze. Zamagrama tra keni'a amage'ma antazaresina knare hu'za manizasine. Sabati manigasa knani'a kegava osu'naze. E'ina hu'nagu ka'ma kokampima neazage'na narimpa ahezmante'na zamazeri haviza hugahue hu'noe.

Yet the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness. They did not follow My statutes and they rejected My ordinances—though the man who does these things will live by them—and they utterly profaned My Sabbaths. Then I resolved to pour out My wrath upon them and put an end to them in the wilderness.

14 Hianagi negazage'nama Isipiti'ma zamavare'na atirami'nama e'noa vahe'mokizmi zamavufima, e'inahu'ma hanu'na Nagra'a nagima eri haviza huzanku Israeli vahera zamazeri havizana osu'noe.

But I acted for the sake of My name, so that it would not be profaned in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.

15 Hagi ka'ma kokampima neazage'na nazana erisga hu'na amanage hu'na huvempa hu'noe, miko mopama ageterenea mopama amirine tumerimo'enema avite'nea mopama zamigahuema hu'na huvempama hu'noa mopafina zamavare'na ovugosue hu'na huvempa hu'noe.

Moreover, with an uplifted hand I swore to them in the wilderness that I would not bring them into the land that I had given them—a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands—

16 Na'ankure zamagra keni'a amagera nonte'za, tra keni'a zamefi hunemi'za, Sabati knani'a kegava nosu'za, vahe'mo'za zamazanteti trohu'naza anumzantaminte monora hunte'naze.

because they kept rejecting My ordinances, refusing to walk in My statutes, and profaning My Sabbaths; for their hearts continually went after their idols.

17 Hianagi zamavufima koana nasuntagige'na zamahe ofri'na, ka'ma kokampina zamazeri havizana osu'noe.

Yet I looked on them with pity and did not destroy them or bring them to an end in the wilderness.

18 E'ina hu'negu mofavre naga'zmia amanage hu'na zamasmi'noe, tamafahe'mokizmi zamavu'zmavara novaririta, zamagrama hu'naza zana huta kaza osu havi anumzantamina monora hunteta tamazeri pehena osiho hu'na zamasami'noe.

In the wilderness I said to their children: ‘Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers or keep their ordinances or defile yourselves with their idols.

19 Hagi Nagra Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumza mani'noanki, keni'a amage nenteta tra keni'a amage anteho.

I am the LORD your God; walk in My statutes, keep My ordinances, and practice them.

20 Ana nehuta Sabati knani'aramina kegava hiho. Na'ankure amu'nontifina e'i ana knamo'a mago avame'za me'nena Ra Anumzamo'na tamagri Anumza manisugeta, tamagra Nagri vahe manigahaze.

Keep My Sabbaths holy, that they may be a sign between us, so that you may know that I am the LORD your God.’

21 Hianagi ana mofavreramimo'za ke'ni'a nontahi'za, ke'ni'a amagera nonte'za tra keni'a kegava nosu'za, ana kasegema amage'ma antazasina, ofri so'e hu'za manizasine. Hianagi anara osu'naze. Ana nehu'za Sabati knani'a kegava osu'naze. E'ina hazage'na ka'ma kokampina narimpa ahezmante'na zamazeri haviza hunaku hu'noe.

But the children rebelled against Me. They did not walk in My statutes or carefully observe My ordinances—though the man who does these things will live by them—and they profaned My Sabbaths. So I resolved to pour out My wrath upon them and vent My anger against them in the wilderness.

22 Hianagi Nagra e'inara osu'noe. Na'ankure mago'a kumapi vahe'mofo zamavufima Isipiti'ma zamavare'na e'noa zanku nagesa nentahi'na, Nagima eri haviza hu'zanku'ene ana zana osu'noe.

But I withheld My hand and acted for the sake of My name, so that it would not be profaned in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.

23 Ana nehu'na Nagra amanage hu'na ka'ma kokampina huvempa hu'na zamasami'noe, Israeli vahera zamahe panini hanuge'za hazagre'za mika mopafi vu'za e'za hu'za mago mago hu'za umani emani hugahaze hu'noe.

However, with an uplifted hand I swore to them in the wilderness that I would scatter them among the nations and disperse them throughout the lands.

24 Na'ankure zamagra kasegeni'a amagera nonte'za, tra keni'a zamefi hunemi'za Sabati knani'a kegava nosu'za, zamazanteti tro hu'naza anumzantaminte'ma zamafahe'mo'zama mono'ma hunte'naza havi anumzante monora hunte'naze.

For they did not practice My ordinances, but they rejected My statutes and profaned My Sabbaths, fixing their eyes on the idols of their fathers.

25 Ana hazage'na Nagra zamatroge'za zamasimuma eri'za omani tra kene, kasegene amage ante'naze.

I also gave them over to statutes that were not good and ordinances by which they could not live.

26 Ana nehu'na zamatroge'za musezazmia zamagonesa mofavrezmia zamahe'za Kresramana nevu'za, zamagra'a zamazeri pehena hu'naze. E'inama hu'noana Nagra zamazeri haviza hanuge'za Nagrikura Ra Anumza mani'ne hu'za ke'za antahiza hihogu anara hu'noe.

And I pronounced them unclean through their gifts—the sacrifice of every firstborn in the fire—so that I might devastate them, in order that they would know that I am the LORD.

27 E'ina hu'negu vahe'mofo mofavremoka amanage hunka Israeli vahera zamasmio, Miko'zama Kegava Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Tamafahe'za anahu kna hu'za huhaviza hunante'za zamefi hunami'naze.

Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: In this way also your fathers blasphemed Me by their unfaithfulness against Me.

28 Hagi zamigahue hu'nama huvempama huzmante'noa mopafi zamavare'na oge'za, maka za'za agonafine maka anina kuronkuroma hu'nea zafa agafaramimpina ofazmia havi anumzazamirera Kresramana nevu'za nazeri narimpa nehe'za, mnanentake zana kre mna nevu'za, waini tina tagiza ofa hu'naze.

When I brought them into the land that I swore to give them and they saw any high hill or leafy tree, there they offered their sacrifices, presented offerings that provoked Me, sent up their fragrant incense, and poured out their drink offerings.

29 Ana hazage'na Nagra zamantahige'na amanage hu'noe, Ina'na agonarega monora ome nehaze hu'na zamantahige'noe. Hagi ana kumakura Bamae hu'za menina agia nehaze.

So I asked them: ‘What is this high place to which you go?’ (And to this day it is called Bamah.)

30 E'ina hu'negu Israeli vahera amanage hunka zamasmio, Miko'zama Kegavama Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, Tamagri tamafahe'mozama hu'nazaza huta agoterafa havi anumzantera a'nemo ru vene savri hiankna huta monora hunenteta tamagra'a tamazeri pehena hu'naze.

Therefore tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: Will you defile yourselves the way your fathers did, prostituting yourselves with their abominations?

31 Hagi havi anumzantega mofavretamia aheta ofa kresramna nevuta, vahe'mo'zama zamazanteti'ma antre'za tro'ma hunte'naza havi anumzantera monora hunenteta tamagra'a tamazeri pehena hume eta ama knarera ehanatize. Hagi Israeli vahera Nagra tamatre'nugeta nagritetira eta knare antahi'zana eme e'origahaze. Tamage Nagra kasefa hu'na mani'nena Miko'zama Kegavama Hu'noa Ra Anumzamo'na huanki'na, magore hu'na tamatre'nugeta eme nagenoka huta Nagritegatira antahintahia e'origahaze.

When you offer your gifts, sacrificing your sons in the fire, you continue to defile yourselves with all your idols to this day. So should I be consulted by you, O house of Israel? As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I will not be consulted by you!

32 Hagi tamagrama antahi'zana, manigagi'naza ru mopafi vahe'mo'za nehazaza huta havere'ene zafare'ene antre'zama tro hunte'naza anumzantami monora hunteta vugahune huta tamagesa antahi'naze. Hianagi antahitahi tamifima retroma hu'naza antahintahimo'a eforera osugahie.

When you say, ‘Let us be like the nations, like the peoples of the lands, serving wood and stone,’ what you have in mind will never come to pass.

33 Hagi Nagra Ra Anumzana miko'zama kegava hu'noa Anumzamo'na kasefa Hu'na mani'noa Anumzanki'na hankavenentake nazana rusute'na narimpa aheneramante'na, kini mani'nena kegava huramantegahue.

As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, with a strong hand, an outstretched arm, and outpoured wrath I will rule over you.

34 Hagi narimpa aheneramante'na tamahe panani'ma hugeta vahe mopafine kumapinema mago mago huta umani emanima hu'nazana, hankavenentake nazana rusute'na ete tamavre atru hugahue.

With a strong hand, an outstretched arm, and outpoured wrath I will bring you out from the peoples and gather you from the lands to which you have been scattered.

35 Hagi ru vahe'mokizmi hagege kokampi tamavre'na vu'na, navugosafina negesage'na tamavugosafina nege'na keaga huramante'na knazana tamigahue.

And I will bring you into the wilderness of the nations, where I will enter into judgment with you face to face.

36 Hagi kote'ma Isipi vahe hagege kokampima tamafahe'ima knazama zami'noaza hu'na tamagrira knazana tamigahue huno Miko'zama Kegava Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

Just as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you, declares the Lord GOD.

37 Hagi e'ina hanugeta mago mago'mota azompani'amofo fenka kazigati ankarohu neramisage'na, huhagerafi huvempagea hu'na tamazeri hagerafigahue.

I will make you pass under the rod and will bring you into the bond of the covenant.

38 Ana nehu'na amu'nontmifintira keni'ama nontahi'za, ha'ma renenantaza vahetamina zamahe fanane hugahue. Hagi anama umani'naza mopafintira zamavare'na atiramigahuanagi, Israeli mopafina eofregahaze. E'ina hanugeta Nagrikura Ra Anumza mani'ne huta keta antahita hugahaze.

And I will purge you of those who rebel and transgress against Me. I will bring them out of the land in which they dwell, but they will not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

39 Hagi Israeli vahe'motagura Miko'zama Kegava Hu'nea Anumzamo'a amanage hie, ke'ni'ama ontahisuta amne zamazanteti'ma antre'za havi anumzama tro hunte'nazana monora hunteho. Hianagi henka tamagra namagera nenteta, havi anumzantera monora hunteta ruotge'ma hu'nea nagia eri havizana osugahaze.

And as for you, O house of Israel, this is what the Lord GOD says: Go and serve your idols, every one of you. But afterward, you will surely listen to Me, and you will no longer defile My holy name with your gifts and idols.

40 Na'ankure Nagri ruotge agonama, Israeli mopafima za'za agonama me'nere maka Israeli naga'mo'za atru hu'za monora hunantegahaze huno Miko'zama Kegava Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne. Hagi e'i anante tamantahi kenugeta ofaramine, knare'nare muse zantamina erita enesage'na, antahi muse huramantegahue.

For on My holy mountain, the high mountain of Israel, declares the Lord GOD, there the whole house of Israel, all of them, will serve Me in the land. There I will accept them and will require your offerings and choice gifts, along with all your holy sacrifices.

41 Hagi ru vahepinti'ene ru vahe'mokizmi mopafinti'ma ete tamavre'na atirami'na esu'na, mnanentake zama kre mana vazage'na manama nentahi'na musema hunezmantoankna hu'na tamagrikura musena huramantegahue. Ana nehu'na tamagri amu'nompi ruotge navu'nava zani'a eriama hanuge'za, ru kumate vahe'mo'za kegahaze.

When I bring you from the peoples and gather you from the lands to which you have been scattered, I will accept you as a pleasing aroma. And I will show My holiness through you in the sight of the nations.

42 Hagi ko'ma tamafahe'ima zamigahue hu'na nazama erisga hu'na huvempama hu'noa mopama Israeli mopafima tamavre'na ufresugeta, Nagrikura Ra Anumza mani'ne huta keta antahita hugahaze.

Then you will know that I am the LORD, when I bring you into the land of Israel, the land that I swore to give your fathers.

43 Hagi e'i anante kefo tamavu tamava'ma huta tamazeri pehanama hu'naza zankura tamagesa nentahita, kefo tamavu tamava'ma hu'naza zankura tamagra tamagazegu hugahaze.

There you will remember your ways and all the deeds with which you have defiled yourselves, and you will loathe yourselves for all the evils you have done.

44 Hagi kefo avu'ava'ma nehuta havi avu'ava'ma hu'naza zantera, nagima eri haviza hu'zanku nagesa nentahi'na, Israeli vahe'mota tamazeri havizana osugahue. E'ina hanugeta nagrikura Mikozama Kegava Hu'nea Anumza mani'ne huta keta antahita hugahaze.

Then you will know, O house of Israel, that I am the LORD, when I have dealt with you for the sake of My name and not according to your wicked ways and corrupt acts, declares the Lord GOD.”

45 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne,

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

46 Vahe'mofo mofavremoka, sauti mopa kaziga kavugosa hunte'nenka sauti kaziga mopamofona sifna ahenentenka sauti kaziga Negevi mopafima me'nea zafaramimofona kasnampa kea hunka huhaviza huzmanto.

“Son of man, set your face toward the south, preach against it, and prophesy against the forest of the Negev.

47 Hagi sauti kazigama Negevi mopafima me'nea zafaramina amanage hunka zamasamio, Ra Anumzamofo nanekea kama antahio, Mikozama Kegava Hu'nea Anumzamo'a huno, antahiho, Nagra teve taginte'nugeno mika kasefa zafane osapa zafanema zafafima me'neana teno erihana hugahie. Hagi anama taginte'nua tevemo'a, asura osu anefa huno nereno maka sauti kazigama me'nea zafaramina tehana huno marerino, noti kazigama me'nea zafaraminena tehana hugahie.

Say to the forest of the Negev: Hear the word of the LORD! This is what the Lord GOD says: I am about to ignite in you a fire, and it will devour all your trees, both green and dry. The blazing flame will not be quenched, and by it every face from south to north will be scorched.

48 Hagi Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na ana tevea taginte'noankino, asura osugahie hu'za maka vahe'mo'za ke'za antahi'za hugahaze.

Then all people will see that I, the LORD, have kindled it; it will not be quenched.”

49 Anage hige'na nagra amanage hu'noe, Mikozama Kegava hu'nana Anumzamoka, vahe'mo'za nagrikura hu'za, kagra nena raga'a omane fronka ke nehane hu'za nehaze.

Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD, they are saying of me, ‘Is he not just telling parables?’”
