Izikeli 3
1 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a nasamino, Vahe'mofo mofavremoka kavugama regazarinte avontafema me'neana erinka netenka, vunka Israeli vahera ome zamasamio.
He said to me, “You human, eat this scroll that is in front of you. Then go and speak to the Israeli people [MTY].”
2 Anagema hige'na nagira aka hugeno, ana avontafera namige'na ne'noe.
So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat it.
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.
Then he said to me, “You human, eat the scroll that I have given to you. Fill your stomach with it.” So I ate it, and in my mouth 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 said to me, “You human, go to the Israeli people [MTY] and tell them my message.
5 Hagi amama hunegantoana ru zamageru'ma neraza vahetega hugantege, zamagerumo'ma amuhoma hu'nea zamageru'ma neraza vahetega hugantegera nosuanki, Israeli vaheteke hunegantoe.
The people to whom I am sending you are not people whose language is very [to learn], a language which you do not understand. I am sending you to your Israeli people [MTY].
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.
I am sending you to people whose language you understand very well. If I were sending you to people whose language was difficult for you to understand, they [be surprised and] pay attention to what [say to them].
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 Israeli people do not want to listen to you because they do not want to listen to me. [They do not want to listen because] they are all very stubborn [DOU].
8 Hianagi menina zamagri zamagu'amo'ma hankavetiankna hu'na kagri kagu'anena kazeri hankaveti'nena zamagrikura zamagorora osugahane.
But I will enable you [SYN] to be as stubborn and tough as they are.
9 Zamagra keontahi vahe mani'nazanagi, kagrira hankavenentake daimoni havegna hu'na kazeri hankavetisugenka, ana vahetaminkura zamagorora huge, kahirahikura osugahane.
I will cause you to be as firm/unbreakable as [SIM] the hardest stone, like flint. So, [even though] they are very rebellious people, do not be afraid of them; do not allow them to cause you to be afraid.”
10 Mago'ane amanage huno nasmi'ne, Vahe'mofo mofavremoka, nanekema kasmuana antahi so'e nehunka, maka nanekema kasamuana kagu'afi erinto.
He also said to me, “You human, listen very carefully to what I say, and keep thinking about it [IDM].
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 fellow Israelis who [here after being] (exiled/forced to leave their country), and speak to them. Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says,’ [and then tell them my message], whether they want to hear it or whether they do not want to hear it.”
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.
[in the vision] the [of God] lifted me up, and I heard behind [someone speaking very loudly], like a loud rumbling sound. [I heard someone say, ] “Praise our glorious Yahweh in the place where he [in heaven]!”
13 Hagi e'i ana agasasana kasefa'ma hu'za mani'naza zagaramimofo zamagekonamofo agasasane, tava'ozmirema meterema hu'nea wilimofo agasasa antahi'noe.
[I heard] the sound of the wings of the four living creatures brushing against each other, [I also heard] the sound of the wheels that were beside them. It was a loud rumbling sound.
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.
The Spirit took me away. Within me I was very bitter and angry [DOU], but I felt Yahweh holding me very powerfully.
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 came to the exiles who lived at Tel [town] near the Kebar River/ [south of Babylon]. Then, where they were living, I sat for seven days. I was [about everything that I had seen].
16 Hagi 7ni'a knama evutegeno'a Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasmi'ne,
After those seven days had ended, Yahweh gave me this message:
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.
“You human, I am appointing [to be like] a watchman [MET] for the Israeli people [MTY]. [So] listen to these messages that I will give you, and tell them those messages to warn them.
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.
When I say about some wicked people, ‘They will surely [because of their sins],’ if you do not warn them or tell them that they must turn from their wicked behavior if they want to (save their lives/remain alive), those wicked people will die because of the sins that they have committed, but I will consider that you are responsible for their deaths [MTY].
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 the wicked people and they do not turn from all their wicked behavior [DOU], they will die because of their sins, but you will have saved [from my punishing you].
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.
Similarly, when righteous people turn from their righteous behavior and do evil deeds, I will cause bad things to happen [IDM] to them. [But you must warn them. If you do not warn them], and if they do not stop their sinful behavior, they will die because of their sins; I will not think about the righteous things that they [previously], but I will consider that you are responsible for their deaths [MTY].
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 warn righteous people not to sin, and they do not sin, they will surely remain alive because they [your] warning, and you will have saved [from my punishing you].”
22 Hagi anante Ra Anumzamo'a azana nagrite anteno amanage hu'ne, otinka agupofi vuge'na anantega nanekea ome kasmi'neno huno hu'ne.
[I felt] Yahweh take control [MTY] of me, and he said to me, “Get up and go [from the city down] to the plain/valley, and there I will speak to 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.
So I got up and went down to the valley. And I saw the glory of Yahweh there, like the glory that I had seen along the Kebar River/Canal. And I prostrated myself 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 [of God] entered me and enabled me to stand up. He said to me, “Go into your house and stay inside it.
25 Hagi vahe'mofo mofavremoka ko, kagrira nofi'nuti anaki kantenagenka ana vahe kevufina ovugahane.
People will tie you with ropes, with the result that you will be unable 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.
[Even though] they are very rebellious people, I will cause your tongue to stick to the roof of your mouth, with the result that you will be unable to talk and to rebuke them.
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.
[then] when I speak to [again], I will enable you to talk [MTY], and you will say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says,’ [and you will tell them my message]. Those who are willing to [to what you say] will listen, [many] will refuse to listen, because they are rebellious people [MTY].”
