Izikeli 3

1 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a nasamino, Vahe'mofo mofavremoka kavugama regazarinte avontafema me'neana erinka netenka, vunka Israeli vahera ome zamasamio.

And he said to me: “Son of man, eat whatever you will find; eat this scroll, and, going forth, speak to the sons of Israel.”

2 Anagema hige'na nagira aka hugeno, ana avontafera namige'na ne'noe.

And I opened my mouth, and he fed me that scroll.

3 Ana avontafe'ma nenogeno'a amanage huno nasmi'ne, vahe'mofo mofavremoka amama negamua avontafera negamu hugeno kagu'afina aviteno meno. Hige'na ana avontafe'ma nenogeno'a, nagitera haga'amo'a tumerinkna hu'ne.

And he said to me: “Son of man, your stomach shall eat, and your interior shall be filled with this scroll, which I am giving to you.” And I ate it, and in my mouth it became as sweet as honey.

4 Ana higeno, Ra Anumzamo'a anage huno nasami'ne, vahe'mofo mofavremoka menina vunka Israeli vahera nanekeni'a ome zamasamio.

And he said to me: “Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and you shall speak my words to them.

5 Hagi amama hunegantoana ru zamageru'ma neraza vahetega hugantege, zamagerumo'ma amuhoma hu'nea zamageru'ma neraza vahetega hugantegera nosuanki, Israeli vaheteke hunegantoe.

For you will be sent, not to a people of profound words or of an unknown language, but to the house of Israel,

6 E'i ana Israeli vahera rama'a hu'za ru zmageru ru zamagerura norazankinka, zamageru'ma antahi'amo'a amuhoa osu'nea vahetega hunegantoe. Tamage huanki e'inahu vahetegama hugantoresina keka'a antahizasine.

and not to many peoples of profound words or of an unknown language, whose words you would not be able to understand. But if you were sent to them, they would listen to you.

7 Hianagi Israeli vahe'mo'za keka'a ontahigahaze. Na'ankure zamagra Nagri kema antahizankura, zamavesra nehianki'za kagri kema antahizankura zamavesra hugahie. Tamage huno maka Israeli vahe'mofo zamagu'amo'a hankavetino havegna hu'ne.

Yet the house of Israel is not willing to listen to you. For they are not willing to listen to me. Certainly, the entire house of Israel has a brazen forehead and a hardened heart.

8 Hianagi menina zamagri zamagu'amo'ma hankavetiankna hu'na kagri kagu'anena kazeri hankaveti'nena zamagrikura zamagorora osugahane.

Behold, I have made your face stronger than their faces, and your forehead harder than their foreheads.

9 Zamagra keontahi vahe mani'nazanagi, kagrira hankavenentake daimoni havegna hu'na kazeri hankavetisugenka, ana vahetaminkura zamagorora huge, kahirahikura osugahane.

I have made your face like hardened iron and like flint. You should not fear them, and you should not have dread before their face. For they are a provoking house.”

10 Mago'ane amanage huno nasmi'ne, Vahe'mofo mofavremoka, nanekema kasmuana antahi so'e nehunka, maka nanekema kasamuana kagu'afi erinto.

And he said to me: “Son of man, listen with your ears, and take into your heart, all my words, which I am speaking to you.

11 Hagi vaheka'ama kinama hu'za Babilonima mani'naza vahetega vunka, hanavenentake Ra Anumzana, Agra Anumzamo'a amanage hie hunka ome zamasamio. Ana nanekea antahisazo ontahisazo amne ome huama hunka zamasmio.

And go forth and enter to those of the transmigration, to the sons of your people. And you shall speak to them. And you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ Perhaps it may be that they will listen and be quieted.”

12 Hagi anante Avamu'mo'a navresga nehige'na nentahugeno, namefitira tusi'a agasasa nerifinti amanage hu'ne, Ra Anumzamofona kuma'afi himamu masa'agura agia ahentesga hugahaze.

And the Spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great commotion, saying, “Blessed is the glory of the Lord from his place,”

13 Hagi e'i ana agasasana kasefa'ma hu'za mani'naza zagaramimofo zamagekonamofo agasasane, tava'ozmirema meterema hu'nea wilimofo agasasa antahi'noe.

and the voice of the wings of the living creatures striking against one another, and the voice of the wheels following the living creatures, and the voice of a great commotion.

14 Hagi Avamumo'a navresga huno navareno nevige'na, tusi narimpagna nehu'na vu'noe. Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a hankavenentake azana nagofetu anteno nazeri'ne.

Then the Spirit lifted me and took me away. And I went forth in bitterness, with the indignation of my spirit. For the hand of the Lord was with me, strengthening me.

15 Ana higena Juda vahetmima mani'naza kumate Kebar timofo tava'onte Tel-abibi e'noe. Hagi narimpamo'a tusi kna nehige'na ana kumatera ana kina vahetaminena 7ni'a zagegna mani'noe.

And I went to those of the transmigration, to the stockpile of new crops, to those who were living beside the river Chebar. And I sat where they were sitting. And I remained there for seven days, while mourning in their midst.

16 Hagi 7ni'a knama evutegeno'a Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasmi'ne,

Then, when seven days had passed, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

17 Vahe'mofo mofavremoka, kagrira Israeli vahete kavu antenka mani'nenka kegava huo hu'na kazeri otuanki, amama kasminua nanekea antahitenka Nagri nagira erinka Israeli vahera koro kea zamasamio.

“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. And so, you shall listen to the word from my mouth, and you shall announce it to them from me.

18 Hagi kefo avu'ava'ma nehia vaheku'ma hu'na, tamage hunka frigahane hu'nama hanugenkama vunka ana vahe'ma ana koro ke'ma ome osamige, vunka avumro ome antenka ana kefo avu'ava zama'a azeri fatgo osnankenoma frisiana, agri korankumira kagra erigahane.

If, when I say to the impious man, ‘You shall certainly die,’ you do not announce it to him, and you do not speak so that he may turn aside from his impious way and live, then the same impious man will die in his iniquity. But I will attribute his blood to your hand.

19 Hianagi kefo avu'ava'ma nehia vahe'ma koro kema nesamisankenoma ana kema ontahino, agu'ama rukrahe osuno, kazigazi huno kumi avu'ava'ma nehuno ufrisiana, kagra'a kagu vazigahanankino, agri korankumimo'a kagritera omegahie.

But if you announce it to the impious man, and he is not converted from his impiety and from his impious way, then indeed he will die in his iniquity. But you will have delivered your own soul.

20 Hagi menima fatgo avu'ava'ma nehia vahe'mo'ma fatgo avu'ava'ma atreno rukrahe huno kefo avu'ava'ma hanige'na, kama vanoma nehifina tanafa hu'zama Nagrama antesugeno'a agra frigahie. Na'ankure kagra koro kea osamisankeno frigahiankino, fatgo avu'avazama hu'nea zankura nagesa ontahigahue. Hianagi ana vahe'mofo korankumira kagra erigahane.

Moreover, if the just man turns aside from his justice and commits iniquity, I will place a stumbling block before him. He shall die, because you have not announced to him. He shall die in his sin, and his justices that he did shall not be remembered. Yet truly, I will attribute his blood to your hand.

21 Hagi kagrama fatgo avu'ava'ma nehia vahe'ma kumira osuo hunka koro kema huntesanke'noma kumi'ma osniana, agra ofri amne manigahie. Na'ankure agra koro kema asmi'nanana antahino, agra'a agu vazi'neankino agri korankumi'mo'a kagritera omegahie.

But if you announce to the just man, so that the just man may not sin, and he does not sin, then he shall certainly live, because you have announced to him. And you will have delivered your own soul.”

22 Hagi anante Ra Anumzamo'a azana nagrite anteno amanage hu'ne, otinka agupofi vuge'na anantega nanekea ome kasmi'neno huno hu'ne.

And the hand of the Lord was over me. And he said to me: “Rise up, and go out to the plain, and there I will speak with you.”

23 Anage hige'na oti'na aguporega vu'na ome koana, Kebar tinkenare'ma kenoankna huno Ra Anumzamofona hankavenentake masamo'a atrureno oti'nege'na nege'na, navugosaregati mopafi mase'noe.

And I rose up, and I went out to the plain. And behold, the glory of the Lord was standing there, like the glory that I saw beside the river Chebar. And I fell upon my face.

24 Hianagi Avamu'amo nagu'afi efreno nazeri otige'na otugeno amanage huno nasmi'ne, nonka'afi vunka agu'ati kafana omeriginka manio.

And the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet. And he spoke to me, and he said to me: “Enter and enclose yourself in the midst of your house.

25 Hagi vahe'mofo mofavremoka ko, kagrira nofi'nuti anaki kantenagenka ana vahe kevufina ovugahane.

And as for you, son of man, behold: they shall put chains upon you and bind you with them. And you shall not go out from their midst.

26 Hagi kagrira kagefuna kavagunafare eri kamarentanena kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza zankura kea hunka zamazeri fatgoa osugahane. Na'ankure zamagra keontahi vahe mani'naze.

And I will cause your tongue to adhere to the roof of your mouth. And you will be mute, not like a man who reproaches. For they are a provoking house.

27 Hianagi nanekema kasmisnuankna kavagunafarema kagefunama akamare'neana eri atrenugenka amanage hunka zamasmigahane, Ra Anumzana Agra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, Iza'oma kema antahinaku'ma hanimo'a, kea antahino. Hagi iza'oma kema ontahinaku'ma hanimo'a, kea ontahino. Na'ankure zamagra keontahi vahe mani'naze.

But when I will speak to you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ Whoever is listening, let him hear. And whoever is quieted, let him be quieted. For they are a provoking house.”
