Izikeli 23
1 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne,
Yahweh said to me,
2 Vahe'mofo mofavre Izikieliga, mago a'mofo mofa'trena tare mani'na'e.
“You human, [listen to this parable about Jerusalem and Samaria]. Once there were two women, 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 lived in Egypt. And from the time that they were young women, they became prostitutes. In that land, [men] fondled their breasts and caressed their bosoms [DOU].
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 [sister] was Oholah, and her [younger] sister was Oholibah. [It was as though] they became my [wives. Later] they gave birth to 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 acted like a prostitute while she was [still] my wife. She desired to have sex with those she loved—soldiers from Assyria.
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.
[Some of them] were army officers and commanders. They wore [beautiful] blue [uniforms. They were] all handsome young men. Some of them rode horses.
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 acted like a prostitute toward all the important Assyrian officials, and became unacceptable to me by worshiping all the idols of the 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.
When she was a young woman in Egypt, she started being a prostitute, and [young] men caressed her breasts and had sex with her; and when she became older, she did not quit acting like a prostitute.
9 E'ina hu'negu agrama avesima nezmantege'zama, azerisavari hu'za monko'zama hunentaza Asiria vahe zamazampi antoe.
So I allowed the Assyrian soldiers, whom she wanted to have sex with, to capture her.
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 all her clothes off her. They took away her sons and daughters. And then they killed her with a sword. [Other] women started talking about what had happened to her, about how she had been punished.
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.
[younger] sister Oholibah saw those [that happened to Oholah], but she was a prostitute, and she desired to have sex with men more than [older] sister had desired.
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.
Oholibah [also] wanted to have sex with the Assyrian soldiers. [Some of them were] army officers and commanders. [They all] wore beautiful blue uniforms. They were all handsome young men. [Some of] them rode horses.
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 what she did that caused her to became unacceptable to me, just like [older] sister.
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,
But she did [even] worse things. She saw drawings of men from Babylonia on the walls, painted in red.
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.
The [in the drawings] had belts around their waists and long turbans on their heads. They all resembled officers from Babylonia [DOU] [who rode in chariots].
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.
As soon as she saw those drawings, she wanted to have sex with those men, and she sent messages to them in Babylonia.
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.
Then the soldiers from Babylonia came to her, they lay in bed with her, and they had sex with her. Then she became disgusted with them and turned away from them.
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.
But when she continued to openly/boldly act like a prostitute [DOU], I became disgusted with her, and I rejected her like I had rejected [older] 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 became even more immoral, as she remembered when she was a young woman who was a prostitute in Egypt.
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.
There she wanted to have sex with those who loved her, whose genitals were [very long], like [SIM] those of donkeys, and whose sexual emissions were huge, [like] those of horses.
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.
So she desired to be immoral like she was when she was young, when men in Egypt caressed her bosom and fondled her 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.
“[represents you people of Jerusalem]. Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord say: ‘I will cause those [soldiers] who loved you but whom you turned away from because you became disgusted with them, to be angry with you. I will cause them to come and attack you from every side—
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.
soldiers from Babylon and all the other places in Babylonia, [their allies] from Pekod and Shoa and [regions], and all the army of Assyria. [Yes], all of them are handsome young men, army officers and commanders, officers who ride in chariots, all riding on 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.
Their huge army will attack you with weapons, riding in chariots and pulling wagons [that will carry their army supplies]. They will surround you, carrying large and small shields, and wearing helmets. I will allow them to capture you and punish you in the way that they [always] [their enemies].
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.
Because I am very angry with you, I will cause them to act [very] furiously toward you. They will cut off your noses and your ears. Then, those who are still alive, they will kill with their swords. They will take away your sons and daughters, and a fire will burn up those who remain alive.
26 Ana nehu'za kukenaka'a maka hatenetre'za, zago'amo'ma marerisa kavasese zanka'a hate'za erigahaze.
They will strip off your clothes and your fine jewelry and take them away.
27 E'ina hu'na Isipima mani'nenka erigafa hunka hu'nana monko kavukava zana eri amanea hugahue.
In that way, I will stop all the immoral behavior that began when you became a prostitute in Egypt. You will no longer desire to do those things, or think [what you did in] 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.
This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord say: ‘I am about to allow those whom you hate, those you became disgusted with and turned away from, to capture you.
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 be cruel and take away everything that you have worked hard to acquire. They will leave you completely naked [DOU], and everyone will see that you truly are a prostitute.
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.
It is because of what you have done that you will be punished like that; you have been an immoral prostitute; you have had sex with men of other nations, and you have caused yourselves to become unacceptable to me [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.
You have behaved [the people of Samaria, who are like] your [older] sister. So I will cause you to be punished [MET] like they were punished.’
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 [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘[You will suffer like people suffer when they drink from a cup a lot of strong alcoholic drink]: [It will be as though] you will drink from the cup that the people of Samaria drank from; a big and tall cup. Because of your drinking what is in that cup, many people will scorn you and make fun of you because there is a lot of liquid in that cup.
33 Hagi ana tima nesnunka neginagi nehunka, kasunku'ma hanana zamo'a kazeri havizantfa hugahie. Na'ankure e'i ana kapua nunakamofo Sameria kapue.
When you become very drunk, you will become very sad, [drinking what is in] that cup [MTY] will cause you to become ruined and deserted, like what happened [MET] to [the people of] Samaria, [who are like] [MET] your sister.
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 all the liquid that is in that cup; then you will break that cup into pieces [use those pieces to] gash/cut your [because you will be very sad].’ [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
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.
Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘Because you have forgotten me and rejected me [IDM], you must be punished for your immoral behavior and for [like] a prostitute.’”
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.
Yahweh said to me, “You human, you must [RHQ] [the people of those two cities represented by] Oholah and Oholibah. You must remind them of their detestable behavior:
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.
[It is as though the people of those cities] have committed adultery and have murdered [MTY] people. They have been unfaithful to me by [worshiping] idols. They have even sacrificed their own children, who belonged to me, to be food for 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 have done [disgraceful things]: They have caused my temple to be an unacceptable place for worship, and have not respected the Sabbath days.
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 the same day that they sacrificed their children to their idols, they entered my temple, which caused it to be an unacceptable place for worshiping me.
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 sent messages to men [in countries] far away. And when those men arrived, [the women of those two cities] bathed themselves for them, painted their eyebrows, and put on jewelry.
41 Hagi tanagra zamana zamana tafe hu'naza sipare mani'neta, tanavugama me'nea tratera Nagri mananentake'za insensine masavenena ante'na'e.
They sat on a beautiful couch, with a table in front of it on which they had put incense and [olive] oil that belonged to me.
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.
Soon there was a noisy crowd around them. Among the crowd there were men from Sheba who had come from the [of Arabia]. They put bracelets on the arms of the [two] sisters and put beautiful crowns on their heads.
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 woman who had become exhausted by her having sex with many men, ‘Now allow those men to act toward her as though she is a prostitute, because that is all that 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 [EUP] with those two women, Oholah and Oholibah, like men have sex with prostitutes.
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 righteous men will condemn them to be punished, like women who commit adultery and who murder others are punished, because those women commit adultery and they murder [MTY] others.
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.
So this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: Bring a mob to attack Samaria and Jerusalem, and allow that mob to cause the people of those cities to be terrified, and to 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 throw stones at [to kill them]; they will cut them into pieces with their swords, they will kill their sons and daughters, and burn 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.
In that way I will cause them to stop their immoral behavior. It will warn other women to not imitate/do what you people of Jerusalem are doing.
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.
[people of Jerusalem] will be punished for your immoral behavior and for your worshiping idols. Then you will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
