Izikeli 23

1 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne,

A message from the Lord came to me, saying,

2 Vahe'mofo mofavre Izikieliga, mago a'mofo mofa'trena tare mani'na'e.

“Son of man, there were once two women. They were daughters of the same mother.

3 Isipi kumate'ma kasefa mofa'trema mani'na'a knafi agafa huke savrira nehuke, monko avu'ava zana nehakeno vene'nemo'za amiznimofona azeri'za zopasi'na nere'za zanavufagarera zokagora rezanante'naze.

They became prostitutes in Egypt. In fact, they were prostitutes from the time they were young. They allowed their virgin breasts to be fondled and their nipples squeezed.

4 Hagi nuna'amofo agi'a Oholaki, negana agi'a Oholiba'e. Hagi zanagra nagri su'aseke mani'neke ne' mofavreramina kasenezmanteke mofaneramina kasezmante'na'e. Hagi Ohola'a e'i Sameria kumaki, Oholiba'a e'i Jerusalemi kumare.

The older girl was called Oholah, and her sister Oholibah. I married them both and they had sons and daughters. Oholah represents Samaria, and Oholibah represents Jerusalem.

5 Hagi Ohola'a nagri a' mani'neanagi monkotera tusiza huno vano nehuno, tavaoma'arema nemania Asiria sondia vahera zamavaririno savarira huno vano hu'ne.

Oholah prostituted herself while she was still married to me. She wanted to have sex with her lovers, the Assyrians.

6 Hagi ana vahetamina hokonke kukena hu'naza gavana kva vahetamine, sondia vahete kva vahetaminki'za ana makamo'za hosi agumpi vano nehaza hentofa nehazaveramine.

They were soldiers dressed in blue, leaders and commanders, all of them handsome young men in the cavalry.

7 Hagi ana a'mo'a maka ana hentofa nehazaveramina zamavesi nezmanteno monkozana nehuno, ana Asiria vahe'mofo kaza osu havi anumzante monora hunteno azeri pehena hu'ne.

She gave away herself sexually to all the important men of Assyria. She made herself unclean by her worship of all the idols of those men she wanted to have sex with.

8 Hagi ko'ma Isipima kasefa mofa'ma mani'neno'ma monkote'ma nehige'zama, venenemo'zama ante'za nemase'za, avufaga zopasi'nama nere'za, monkozama hunte'za e'naza avu'ava zana otre'ne.

She didn't stop her prostitution that she started in Egypt—men sleeping with her when she was young, squeezing her virgin breasts and using her to satisfy their sexual appetite.

9 E'ina hu'negu agrama avesima nezmantege'zama, azerisavari hu'za monko'zama hunentaza Asiria vahe zamazampi antoe.

So I handed her over to her lovers, the Assyrians she wanted to have sex with.

10 Hagi ana vahe'mo'za Oholana mika'a kukena'a eri hatetre'za azeri agaze nehu'za, ne' mofavreramima'ane mofane'araminena zamavare'za nevu'za, agrira bainati kazinteti ahe fri'naze. Ana higeno a'nemo'za Ohola avufare'ma fore'ma hu'nea zankura huge antahige hu'naze.

They stripped her naked, took away her sons and daughters, and killed her with the sword. She became infamous among women, and they punished her.

11 Hagi negna Oholiba'a ama ana zana ke'neanagi, agu'a rukrahera osu'neanki, nuna'amo'ma hu'nea avu'avara agatereno vene'nea kenunu nehuno ana veneneraminena rama'a monko avu'ava hu'ne.

Oholibah saw what happened to her sister, but she became even worse than her in her wanting sex and practicing prostitution.

12 Hagi Oholiba'a Asiria kva vahetamina ke anunu nehuno, gavana vahetamine, sondia vahete kva vahetamine, hosi agumpima maniza nevaza vahe'ene, knare kukenama hu sondia vahetamina maka hentofaza hu'naza kasefa veneneraminkino zamagenunu huno avesi'zmante'ne.

She also wanted to have sex with the Assyrians: their leaders and commanders, their splendidly-dressed soldiers—all of them handsome young men in the cavalry.

13 Ana hige'nama koana nuna'amo Oholiba'ma hu'neaza huno monko'zana nehuno, agra'a tusiza huno azeri pehena hu'ne.

I saw that she had also made herself unclean—both sisters were doing the same thing.

14 Hianagi Oholiba'a rama'a monko avu'ava zana huno vu'ne. Ana nehuno have keginare'ma Babiloni vahe'mofo amema'ama frage'za krentete'za koranke masavema frente'naza vahe zamema'ama zamage'neana,

However, Oholibah's prostitution was even worse. She saw pictures of Babylonian soldiers wearing bright red uniforms painted on the wall.

15 zamu nofi'ma zamafafafima ananeki'za, zamanunte'ma anaki tavarave zmanuntera anaki'za, ana makamo'za Babiloni kamani eri'za vahe kna hu'nageno zamage'ne.

They were wearing belts on their waists and large turbans on their heads. They all looked like Babylonian officers in Chaldea, the country where they were born.

16 Hagi ana vahe'mokizmi zamema'ama negeno'a, kenunu huno avesi nezmanteno, ana vahe'ma esanageno'ma zamagranema monkozama hanigu kema erino vuno eno'ma hu' vahera huzmantege'za Babiloni vu'naze.

When she saw the paintings of them, she wanted to have sex with them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.

17 Ana hige'za Babiloni vahe'mo'za eme ante'za mase'ne'za monkozana hunte'za azeri pehena hu'naze. Hagi ana'ma hu'za monkozama hu'za azeri pehenama hutazageno'a, ana vahetamina tusiza huno avesra huzmanteno agote'zmante'ne.

The Babylonians came to her and her love bed, and made her unclean with their sexual desire. However, after she had been dishonored by them, she rejected them in disgust.

18 Hagi ana monko avu'ava zana Oholiba'a amate avufga avapako vano nehuno ana avu'ava zana nehige'za ke'naze. E'inama nuna'amo'ma higenama Nagra navesra hunte'na nagotenente'na namefi'ma humi'noaza hu'na namefi humi'noe.

When Oholibah so blatantly prostituted herself, exposing herself naked, I turned away from her in disgust, just as I had done to her sister.

19 Hianagi Oholiba'a Isipima mofa'ma mani'neno'ma monkote'ma huno vanoma hu'nea agesa nentahino, tusiza huno mago'ane monkozana huvava huno vu'ne.

But she practiced even more prostitution, remembering how she'd been a prostitute in Egypt when she was young.

20 Ana nehuno donki afu'mofo agozagna zamago'za huntegeno, hosi afu'mofo agozarimo'ma aviteankna'ma hu'nea Isipi vahe'enena monkozana huno vano hu'ne.

She wanted to have sex with her lovers who had genitals like donkeys and who ejaculated like stallions.

21 Ana nehunka Oholibaga Isipima mofa'ma mani'nanke'zama aminka'arema azeriza, zopasi'nama nere'za knara'ma kante'za monkozama hugante'naza zanku tusiza hunka antahintahi nehunka, ana'ma hanana zanku kave'nesie.

You went back to the indecent acts when you were young, when the Egyptians squeezed your nipples and fondled your young breasts.

22 Hagi e'ina hu'negu Oholibaga Mikozama Kegavama Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, monkozama hugantazagenka kagote zamantenka kamefi'ma huzami'nana vahetamina zamarimpa re'nuge'za, maka kazigati eme kavazagi kagi'za ha' eme hugantegahaze.

So Oholibah, this is what the Lord God says: I'm going to encourage your lovers to attack you, those you rejected in disgust. I will bring them to attack you from every direction:

23 Hagi e'i ana vahetamina zamavare atruma hanuana, Babiloni vahetamima, maka Kaldia vahetamima, Pekodi vahe'ma, Soa vahe'ma, Koa nagapinti vahetamima, maka Asiria gavana vahetmima, sondia vahete kva vahetamima, hosi agumpima maniza vano nehu'za ha'ma nehaza hentofa nehazaveramina zamavare atru hanuge'za hara huramantegahaze.

the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, the men of Pekod, Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians along with them—all handsome young men, leaders and commanders, chariot captains and important officers, all riding horses.

24 E'ina hanuge'za tusi'a vahe'mo'za ha'zazmia eri'neza aini fetori zamia nentaniza avazuma nehaza karisifine ha' zazmia erinte'za e'za nazanoma huramante'naku'ma hanaza zana zamagra avu'avapi avrente'za maka kazigati e'za hara eme hugantegahaze.

They will attack you from the north, invading with a great army, chariots, and wagons. They will come with their shields and helmets and surround you. I will hand you over to them for punishment, and they will judge and punish you following their own laws.

25 Ana nehu'na kanive regante'noankino zamagra zamarimpa ahenegante'za kazeri havizantfa hugahaze. Ana nehu'za kagesane kagonanena taga hunetre'za, amanema manisaza vahera kazinteti zamahe nefri'za ne'mofatamia zamavare'za nevu'za, amnema manisazama'a zamazeri'za tevefi kre tasagegahaze.

I feel so strongly about what you've done that I will oppose you, and they will treat you very badly. They will cut off your noses and ears, and they will kill those of you who are left. They will take away your sons and daughters as prisoners, and those of you who are left will be destroyed by fire.

26 Ana nehu'za kukenaka'a maka hatenetre'za, zago'amo'ma marerisa kavasese zanka'a hate'za erigahaze.

They will tear off your clothes and take your beautiful jewelry.

27 E'ina hu'na Isipima mani'nenka erigafa hunka hu'nana monko kavukava zana eri amanea hugahue.

I'm going to put a stop to your immorality and prostitution, which started in Egypt. You won't think longingly about those times, and you'll forget all about Egypt.

28 Na'ankure Ra Anumzana Miko'zama Kegava Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a amanagea hie. Kavresra hunezmantenka kago'ma ate'zmantenka kamefi'ma huzamina vahe'mokizmi zamazampi Nagra kavrente'za nehue.

For this is what the Lord God says: Believe it when I say that I'm going to hand you over to the people you hate, the ones you rejected in disgust.

29 Ana vahe'mo'za kazeri haviza nehu'za, amuhoma hunka erifore'ma hunana fenonka'aramina eri hana hu'za vanagenka, kavufga kavapako manigahane. Ana hanankeno maka vahe'mo'za monko zama nehana kavufga amate kegahaze. Kagrama savri'ma hunka monko zama hunkama vano hanazamo,

They will treat you with hatred. They will take away everything you've worked for, leaving you stark naked with nothing, so that so that the indecent acts of your prostitution will be exposed. Your immorality and prostitution

30 higeno ama ana hazenkea avreno eme kamie. Na'ankure ru kumatamimpi venenemo'zama monko zama hugantesazegu zamavesi nezmantenka, zamazanteti'ma antre'za tro'ma hu'naza havi anumzantaminte monora huntenka kagraka'a kazeri pehena hu'nane.

is why all this has happened to you, because you acted as a prostitute with the nations and made yourself unclean by worshiping their idols.

31 Hagi kagra nunakamo'ma hu'nea avu'ava amage antenka hu'nananki'na, agri'ma narimpa ahente'na knazama ami'noankna knazana kagrira kamigahue.

Because you did what your sister did, I will give you her cup to drink.

32 Hagi miko'zama kegavama hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, Nunakamo'ma ne'nea rankapufi narimpa ahe'zana tagi kaminugenka rama'a negahane. Ana hananke'za vahe'mo'za hunte'za kagi'za regahaze.

This is what the Lord God says: You will drink from your sister's cup—a large, deep cup. You will be laughed at and insulted. You'll have to endure much of this.

33 Hagi ana tima nesnunka neginagi nehunka, kasunku'ma hanana zamo'a kazeri havizantfa hugahie. Na'ankure e'i ana kapua nunakamofo Sameria kapue.

It will make you drunk and full of grief because it's a cup of that brings horror and destruction, the cup your sister Samaria drank from.

34 Hagi ana kapufinti tina nehana hanankeno hagege hugahie. Ana hutenka ana kapua aru praro nevazinka aminka'a nemasaginka kasunkura hugahane huno Mikozama Kegava Hu'nea Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

You will drink it all down, smash it to pieces on the ground, and tear at your breasts. This is what I have spoken, declares the Lord God.

35 E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, Kagra kamefi Nagrira hunaminka kagekani nenantenka, savri'ma hunka vano nehunka, monkozama hunka vanoma hu'nana mizama'a kagra erigahane.

In summary this is what the Lord God says: Because you have forgotten about me and have ignored me, you will have to experience the consequences of your immorality and prostitution.”

36 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne, Vahe'mofo mofavre Izikieliga, knare Oholane Oholibakiznia keagarera zanavrentenka keagaznia refko hugahampi? Hi'mnage avu'ava'ma neha'a avu'ava'znia huama hunka zanasamio.

Then the Lord said to me: “Son of man, are you going to condemn Oholah and Oholibah? Expose the disgusting things they've done!

37 Na'ankure zanagrama savri huke ru vene monko zama ome nehuke, vahe'ma zamahe fri'na'a koramo'a zanazampina me'ne. Vahe'mozama zamazanteti'ma antre'za tro'ma hunte'naza havi anumzantamine monko zana nehuke, ne'za ofama nehiaza huke Nagrama zanami'noa mofavreramina zamaheke ana havi anumzante Kresramana vunte'na'e.

For they have committed adultery, and they are guilty of murder. They have committed adultery with their idols, and have even offered their children, whom they had for me, as sacrifices to their idols.

38 Hagi mago'ene nagritera anahu kna avu'ava hunante'na'e. Zanagra ana zupage seli mono noni'a eri pehena nehuke, Sabati knani'a kegava osuke, eri haviza hu'na'e.

They also did this to me: On the very same day they both made my sanctuary unclean and violated my Sabbaths.

39 Hagi vahe'mo'zama zamazanteti'ma tro'ma hu'naza havi anumzante mofavrezania aheke Kresramana vunenteke, anankna zupa seli mono noni'afina emarerike eri pehena hu'na'e. E'inahu knaza Nagri mono nompina hu'na'e.

On very day that they killed their children for their idols, they went my sanctuary and made it unclean. Look at what they did right inside my Temple!

40 Hagi ana nehuke kema erino vuno eno'ma hu vahete kea atrake'za, vu'za afeteti vahera ome zamavare'za e'naze. Hagi ana vene'nema avre'za neazageta'a tanagra tina freta masave konariria nehuta, zago'amo'ma marerisa avasesezanu tanavasasea hu'na'e.

They even kept on sending messengers for men to come from far away. When the men arrived, you would get yourselves ready for them by bathing, doing your eye makeup, and putting in your jewelry.

41 Hagi tanagra zamana zamana tafe hu'naza sipare mani'neta, tanavugama me'nea tratera Nagri mananentake'za insensine masavenena ante'na'e.

You sat on an expensive couch, with my incense and my oil on a table placed in front of it.

42 Hagi anampina ruzahu ruzahu vahe'mo'za kereso nehazageno, tima ne'za neginagima nehaza vahe'ma hagege kokampinti'ma zamavare'zama e'naza vahe'mo'za ana atre'mokizni zanazampina asana antani nezanante'za, zanasenifina avasese'ane kuini fetorira antani zanante'naze.

The room was full of the noise of people partying. Drunk men were brought in from the desert along with some common people and they put bracelets on your wrists and beautiful crowns on your head.

43 Anama hutazage'na ve'ama atreno monkote'ma vano nehige'zama, monko zama hunte'za nevazageno avresragu'ma nehia akura nagra amanage hu'noe. Menina ama ara ama venenemo'za zamatrenke'za monko a'nema nehazaza hu'za monkozana hunteho. Na'ankure agra monko a' mani'ne.

Then I said about the old worn-out woman, ‘Now they can have her as a prostitute because that's what she is!’

44 Hagi ana vahe'mo'za monko a'nema monko zama hunentazaza hu'za, ana ara ante'za mase'ne'za monko'zana hunte'naze. Ana hukna hu'za Oholane Oholibanena zanante'za mase'neza monko zana huznante'naze.

So they had sex with her like a prostitute. They had sex with Oholah and Oholibah, those immoral women.

45 Hianagi fatgo zamavu'zmavama nehaza vahe'mo'za, ve'zanima atreke monko'zama huke vanoma nehuke vahe'ma zamahe nefri'a zantera keaga huznante'za knazana zanamigahaze. Na'ankure zanagra ve'zania atreke monkote huke vano nehuke, vahe'ma zamaheke korama eri tagina'a zante zanagra knazana erigaha'e.

But men who believe in what's right will judge them and impose the punishment for committing commit adultery and murder, because they are adulterers and murderers.

46 Hagi Miko'zama Kegavama Hu'nea Anumzamo'a amanage hie, tusi'a sondia vahetami zamavarenka ege'za, ana atre'mofo zantamina arohu eme zanare'za eneri'za zanazeri koro hiho.

This is what the Lord God says: Have a mob attack them! Make them terrified and rob them.

47 Hagi ana sondia vahe'mo'za ana a'trena havenknonu zanahe frite'za, bainati kazinknonu rukafri netre'za ne'mofazania zamahe nefri'za nozania teve taginte'nageno tegahie.

The mob will stone them and kill them with their swords, slaughtering their sons and daughters and burning down their houses.

48 E'ina hu'na ana mopafina savari monko avu'ava zana eri fanane hanugeno, maka a'nanemo'za nege'za ana a'tre'mokema hu'na'a monko zanavu'zanava zana ovaririgahaze.

This is how I will put an end to immorality in the country, and all the women will be warned not to do what you have done.

49 Hagi tanagrama monko avu'ava zama nehuta, vahe'mo'zama zamazanteti'ma antre'za tro'ma hunte'naza havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hu'na'a zante tanagra knazana e'nerita, Ra Anumzana Miko'zama Kegavama Hu'nea Anumza mani'ne huta Nagrikura keta antahita hugaha'e.

They will punish you for your immorality, and you will have to experience the consequences of your idol worship. Then you will know that I am the Lord God.”
