Izikeli 3
1 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a nasamino, Vahe'mofo mofavremoka kavugama regazarinte avontafema me'neana erinka netenka, vunka Israeli vahera ome zamasamio.
“Son of man,” he told me, “eat what you find placed before you. Eat this scroll, then go and speak to the people of Israel.”
2 Anagema hige'na nagira aka hugeno, ana avontafera namige'na ne'noe.
I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat.
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.
“Son of man,” he said to me, “eat and fill yourself up with this scroll I'm giving you.” So I ate the scroll, and it tasted 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.
Then he told me, “Son of man, now you are to go to the people of Israel and give my message 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.
I'm not sending you to those whose language is foreign to you, to people that you don't know—but to the people 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.
As I say, I'm not sending you to those whose language is foreign to you, to people that you don't know, whose words you don't understand. On the other hand, if I had sent you to foreigners, they would have listened 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.
But the people of Israel won't want to listen to you, because they don't want to listen to me. All the Israelites are strong-minded and hard-hearted.
8 Hianagi menina zamagri zamagu'amo'ma hankavetiankna hu'na kagri kagu'anena kazeri hankaveti'nena zamagrikura zamagorora osugahane.
Look! I'm going to make you as tough as them, and as strong-minded as them.
9 Zamagra keontahi vahe mani'nazanagi, kagrira hankavenentake daimoni havegna hu'na kazeri hankavetisugenka, ana vahetaminkura zamagorora huge, kahirahikura osugahane.
I will make your mind like adamant, harder than flint. Don't be afraid of what they say or discouraged by the way they look at you, even though they are a rebellious people.”
10 Mago'ane amanage huno nasmi'ne, Vahe'mofo mofavremoka, nanekema kasmuana antahi so'e nehunka, maka nanekema kasamuana kagu'afi erinto.
“Son of man,” he added, “pay close attention to everything I tell you, and think deeply about it yourself.
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.
Go to your people who are in exile. Tell them this is what the Lord God says, whether they listen or not.”
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.
The Spirit lifted me up, and I heard a really loud noise behind me that sounded like an earthquake. (Praise to the Lord's glory where he lives!)
13 Hagi e'i ana agasasana kasefa'ma hu'za mani'naza zagaramimofo zamagekonamofo agasasane, tava'ozmirema meterema hu'nea wilimofo agasasa antahi'noe.
It was the sound made by the wings of the beings as they brushed against each other and the noise made by the wheels next to them, a really loud noise that sounded like an earthquake.
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.
As I said, the Spirit lifted me up and carried me away. As I went I was feeling upset and angry; however the Lord's power had taken full control of 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.
I arrived at the place where the exiles lived, Tel-abib by the River Kebar. I just sat with them, staying with them there for seven days. I was completely overcome with emotion.
16 Hagi 7ni'a knama evutegeno'a Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasmi'ne,
After the seven days had passed, a message from 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 chosen you as a watchman for the people of Israel. Whenever I give you a message, then you must warn them for 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.
For example, if I give a warning to someone who's wicked, saying, ‘You are going to die for sure,’ but you don't warn them, if you don't speak out to warn them to stop their wicked ways so they can go on living, then that wicked person will die in their sins, and I will hold you responsible for their death.
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 warn them, and they don't stop their wicked ways, they will die in their sins, but you will have saved yourself—you won't die.
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.
Again, if someone who lives right stops doing so and sins and disregards my attempts to correct them, then they will die. If you didn't warn them, they will die in their sins, and the good things they did won't be remembered. In addition, I will hold you responsible for their death.
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.
However, if you warn those who are living right not to sin, and they don't sin, they will live for sure, because they paid attention to your warning, and you will have saved yourself—you won't die.”
22 Hagi anante Ra Anumzamo'a azana nagrite anteno amanage hu'ne, otinka agupofi vuge'na anantega nanekea ome kasmi'neno huno hu'ne.
The Lord's power took control of me there, and he told me, “Get up! Go to the valley, and I will talk to you there.”
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.
So I got up and went to the valley, and there I saw the Lord's glory. It was like the glory I had seen by the River Kebar. I fell facedown on the ground.
24 Hianagi Avamu'amo nagu'afi efreno nazeri otige'na otugeno amanage huno nasmi'ne, nonka'afi vunka agu'ati kafana omeriginka manio.
Then the Spirit came into me and made me stand upright. He told me, “Go into your house and shut the door.
25 Hagi vahe'mofo mofavremoka ko, kagrira nofi'nuti anaki kantenagenka ana vahe kevufina ovugahane.
You will be tied up with ropes, son of man. You will be bound so that won't be able to go out among the people.
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.
I'll make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth. You won't be able to speak and complain to them, even though they are a rebellious people.
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.
However, when I talk with you, I will open your mouth so you can tell them that this is what the Lord God says. Those who want to listen will listen, and those who want to refuse will refuse, for they are a rebellious people.”
