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.

Almost seven years [King Jehoiachin and the rest of us had been captured and taken to Babylonia], on the tenth day of the fifth [of that year], some Israeli elders came to me to [if I had a message for them] from Yahweh.

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

Then Yahweh gave me a message. [He said, ]

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.

“You human, speak to the Israeli elders and say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: [say that] you have come to ask if there is any message from me [RHQ], but [as surely] as I am alive, I will [answer you if] you ask [to tell you] anything.’

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,

If you are [RHQ] willing to warn them, remind them of the detestable things that their ancestors did.

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.

Then say to them, ‘On the day that I chose [you] Israeli [to belong to me], with my hand lifted up, I made a solemn promise to your [while they were still] in Egypt. I said to them, “I am Yahweh, 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.

I will bring you out of Egypt and lead you to a land that I have chosen for you. It is a very fertile [IDM] and (very beautiful/more beautiful than any other) land.

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.

Each of you must get rid of the disgusting idols that you loved [IDM], and do not defile yourselves [worshiping] those [that you saw] in Egypt. I, Yahweh your God, [am saying this to you].”’

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. They would not pay attention to me. They did not get rid of the disgusting idols they loved, and they did not reject those [that they saw] in Egypt. So because I was angry with them, I said that I would punish [MTY] them in 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 for the sake of my own reputation, I decided to do something in order that I would not be dishonored by the people of the nations who would see it when I brought my people out of Egypt.

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

Therefore I led them out of Egypt and brought them into the desert.

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

I gave them [all] my laws and decrees [DOU], in order that they would obey them, and as a result they would live [for a long time].

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.

Also, I established the Sabbath/rest days to be a symbol between us to show that I, Yahweh, had caused them to be set [from the other nations].

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.

But the Israeli people rebelled against me in the desert. They did not obey my commands [DOU]; they rejected them, even though they tell people who obey them that they will live [for a long time], and they profaned the Sabbath days. So I said that I would get rid of them in the desert, and that would show that I was very angry with them.

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 [again], for the sake of my own reputation, I decided to do something else in order that I would not be dishonored/despised by [the people of] the nations who had seen me bring my people out of Egypt.

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.

I lifted up my hand and solemnly declared to them in the desert that I would not take them into the land that [had promised to] give them, a land that was very fertile [IDM] and (very beautiful/more beautiful than any other) land.

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.

The reason that I promised that was because they rejected and disobeyed all my laws [DOU] and (desecrated/refused to rest on) the Sabbath days. [They did that] because they [SYN] were devoted [worshiping] their idols.

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

But, I still pitied them and did not get rid of [all of] them in the desert.

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.

I said to their children, ‘Do not do the things that your parents continually did, or defile yourselves [worshiping] their idols.

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

I am Yahweh your God. Carefully obey [DOU] my laws and commands.

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.

Respect my Sabbath days, in order that by doing that [PRS], it will remind you that you belong to me, Yahweh 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 their children [also] rebelled against me. They did not carefully obey my laws [DOU], [even though] the people who obey them will live [for a long time]; and they profaned the Sabbath days. So again I said that by getting rid of them in the desert, I would show that I was very angry with them.

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 did not do that [IDM]. [Again, ] for the sake of my own reputation, I [decided to] do something in order that I would not be dishonored/despised by [the people of] the nations who had seen it when I brought my people out [of Egypt].

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.

I lifted up my hand and solemnly declared to them in the desert that I would cause them to be scattered among [many] nations [DOU],

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.

because they had rejected and disobeyed all my laws [DOU] and desecrated the Sabbath days, and they had eagerly [to worship] the idols that their [had worshiped].

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

I also allowed them to obey laws that were not good, and laws that would not enable them to live [a long time if they obeyed them].

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.

I allowed them to become unacceptable to me by their sacrificing their firstborn children in the fire. I did that in order that they would be horrified, and in order that they would know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].

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, you human, speak to the Israeli people. Say this to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says [to you]: This is one way that your ancestors dishonored me by turning away from 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.

After I brought them into the land that I had solemnly promised to give to them, every time that they saw a high hill or a [big] green tree, they offered [to idols] there. They made offerings to them, and that caused me to become angry. They presented to those idols their fragrant burning incense, and poured out wine offerings to them.

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.

[Then] I asked them, “Who [RHQ] [told you to worship at] a shrine like this, here on this hilltop?” So they are still called “hilltop shrines”.’

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, say this to the Israeli people [MTY]: 'This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “You are going to [RHQ] defile yourselves like your ancestors did by strongly [to worship] their disgusting [statues of idols].

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.

When you sacrifice your children in the fire, you are still continuing to make yourselves unacceptable to me [worshiping] your many idols. You Israeli people, should I allow you to [what I want you to do]? I, Yahweh the Lord, say that [as surely] as I am alive, [I will not answer] if you inquire.'

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.

You say, ‘We want to be like the [other] nations, like the [other] people-groups in the world. We want to [idols made of] wood and [like they do].’ But what you want will never happen.

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.

[I], Yahweh your Lord, say that [as surely] as I am alive, I will use my great power [DOU, MTY] to rule over you, and show that I am angry with 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 my great power I will gather you from the places 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 to a [that is surrounded] by [other] nations. There, while I am looking at you, I will judge you.

I will punish you, like I punished your ancestors in the desert near Egypt.

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

I will count you [MTY] as you walk by, and I will force you to obey the agreement that I made with you.

I will get rid of those people among you who rebel [DOU] against me. Although I will bring them out [Babylonia], where they are now living, they will not enter Israel. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].

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.

As for you Israeli people [MTY], this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: 'Go and worship your idols now [IRO], each of you. But [afterwards], you will [surely] heed me and no longer dishonor me [MTY] by taking gifts to your 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.

[I], Yahweh your Lord, declare that there on my sacred hill, [Zion], that high hill in Israel, you will bring gifts to me, and I will accept them. I will require you to bring to me gifts and offerings there, and your sacrifices that are dedicated to me.

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.

When I bring you out from the [other] nations [DOU] to which you have been scattered, I will accept [as though you were] fragrant incense. By doing that, I will show the people of other nations that I have set you apart to belong to me.

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, when I bring you into the land of Israel, the land that I solemnly promised with my hand lifted up that I would give to your ancestors, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have done it].

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.

And [in Israel] you will remember how you conducted your lives [previously, you will remember] the actions that caused you to become unacceptable to me, and you will hate/despise yourselves for all the evil things that 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.

When I act toward you Israeli people to protect my reputation, and not [just] because of your evil deeds and corrupt behavior, you Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].' That is what Yahweh the Lord declares.”

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

Yahweh gave me another message. He said,

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.

“You human, turn toward the south. Preach about what will happen to that dry land, to the forest there.

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.

Say to the forest in the [part of Israel]: 'Listen to this message that Yahweh the Lord is saying [about you]: “I am about to start a fire in your midst, and it will burn up all your trees, [both] the green trees and the withered/dry trees. Nothing will extinguish the blazing flames. And the fire will scorch the faces of everyone [who lives] in that area, from the south to the north.

Then I said, “Yahweh, my Lord, [when I tell things like this to people, they do not believe me]. They say about me, ‘He is only telling parables.’”
