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, “Son of man, what you have found, eat. Eat this scroll, then go speak to the house of Israel.”

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

So 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.

He said to me, “Son of man, feed your belly and fill your stomach with this scroll that I have given to you!” So I ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.

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, “Son of man, go to the house of Israel and 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 are not being sent to a people of strange speech or difficult 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.

not to many peoples of strange speech or a difficult language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely if I sent you to them, 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 house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you, for they are not willing to listen to me. So all the house of Israel is strong browed and hard hearted.

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 as stubborn as their faces and your brow as hard as their brows.

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

I have made your brow like a diamond, harder than flint! Do not fear them or be discouraged by their faces, since they are a rebellious house.”

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

Then he said to me, “Son of man, all the words that I announce to you—take them into your heart and hear them with your ears!

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.

Then go to the captives, to your people, and speak to them. Say to them, 'This is what the Lord Yahweh says,' whether they will 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.

Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the sound of a great earthquake: “Blessed be the glory of Yahweh 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.

It was the sound of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the sound of the wheels that were with them, and the sound of a great 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.

The Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went with bitterness in my spirit's rage, for the hand of Yahweh was powerfully pressing on 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.

So I went to the captives at Tel Aviv who lived along the Kebar Canal, and I stayed there among them for seven days, overwhelmed in amazement.

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

Then it happened after seven days that the word of Yahweh 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, so listen to the word from my mouth, and give them my warning.

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 to the wicked, 'You will surely die' and you do not warn him or speak a warning to the wicked about his evil deeds so he might live—the wicked one will die for his sin, but I will require his blood from 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 warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his wicked deeds, then he will die for his sin, but you will have rescued your own life.

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.

If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and acts unjustly, and I set a stumbling block before him, he will die. Because you did not warn him, he will die in his sin, and I will not call to mind the righteous deeds that he performed, but I will require his blood from 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 warn the righteous man to stop sinning so that he no longer sins, he will surely live since he was warned; and you will have rescued your own life.”

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

So the hand of Yahweh was on me there, and he said to me, “Arise! Go out into the plain, and I will speak with 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.

I arose and went out into the plain, and there the glory of Yahweh was staying, like the glory that I had seen beside the Kebar Canal; so I fell on 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.

The Spirit came to me and stood me up on my feet; and he spoke with me, and said to me, “Go and shut yourself up within your house,

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

for now, son of man, they will place ropes upon you and tie you so you cannot go out among them.

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 will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, so you will be mute, and you will not be able to rebuke them, since they are a rebellious 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 speak with you, I will open your mouth so you will say to them, 'This is what the Lord Yahweh says.' The one who will hear will hear; the one who will not listen will not listen, for they are a rebellious house!”
