Izikeli 33

1 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne,

Yahweh gave me another message. He said,

2 Vahe'mofo mofavre Izikieliga, vaheka'a amanage hunka zamasamio, Nagrama ha' vahe'ma huzmantenuge'za, ha'ma eme huramante'nageta ha' vahe'ma esigeno'ma avuma anteno kegava huno mani'neno, kezama atino huramasami vahera mago ama mopafi vahepinti hu hamprintenkeno mani'neno,

“You human, speak to your fellow Israelis and say this to them: ‘When I bring an enemy army [MTY] to attack a country, and the people of that country choose one of their men and appoint him to be a watchman,

3 negesigeno ha' vahe'ma esageno kesuno'a, ha' vahe neanki kva hiho huno ufe reno vahera huzmasamino.

if he sees the enemy army [MTY] coming to attack his country, and he blows a trumpet to warn the people,

4 Hagi ufema resigeno'ma nentahino'ma zofe'zafema nehuno mani'nenigeno, ha' vahe'moma eme ahesageno frisiana agri korankumimo'a mago vahetera eovugosianki, agra'a erigahie.

if anyone hears the trumpet and does not heed the warning, and as a result he is killed by the sword [of one of his enemies], he will be responsible for his own death [MTY].

5 Agra ufema regeno nentahino'a koro freno agura vazigaragi, neginagi huno mani'negeno eme ahe'nazankino, mago vahe'mo'a agri korankumira e'origahie.

If he had heeded the warning, he would have (have saved his life/still be alive). But because he heard the sound of the trumpet and did not heed that warning, his death will be his own fault.

6 Hianagi avuma anteno ha' vaheku'ma kegavama hu'nea ne'mo'ma kesigeno, ha' vahe'ma esigeno'ma ufema reno koro kema vahe'ma ozamasami'ma mani'nenigeno, ha' vahe'mo'za e'za mago'mofoma eme ahesageno frisiana, e'i ana nera kefo avu'ava'ma nehia nona'a frigahianagi, agri korankumira avuma ante'noma ha' vahe'ma esigu'ma kvama hu'nea ne'mo erigahie.

But if the watchman sees the enemy army [MTY] coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people, and one of his people is killed by an enemy sword, that person will die because of his sin, but I will consider that the watchman is responsible for that man’s death.’

7 E'ina hu'negu vahe'mofo mofavre Izikieliga, ha' vahe'ma esigu Israeli vahete kegava huo hu'na hu hamprigante'noe. E'igu Nagrama hanuankea erinka korokea zamasamigahane.

So, you human, I have appointed you to be a watchman for the Israeli people [MTY]. So always listen to what I say and warn the people for me.

8 Hagi kefo avu'ava'ma nehia vaheku'ma Nagrama hu'na, tamage kagra frigahane hu'nama hanugenkama, ana nanekema erinka ome osamisankeno ana ne'mo'ma havi avu'avazama atreno agu'a rukrahe'ma osaniana, agra kumi'ma hu'nea zantera frigahie. Hianagi agri korankumimo'a kagrite evugahie.

When I say to some wicked person, ‘You wicked person, you will surely die [because of your sins,’ you must tell him that]. If you do not speak to that person to warn him that he should turn away from his sins, that wicked person will die because of his sins, but I will say that you are responsible for his death [MTY].

9 Hianagi kefo avu'ava'ma nehia vahe'ma ana nanekema erinka ome asamisankeno nentahino, havi avu'avazama atreno agua rukrahema osaniana, agra kumima hu'nea zantera frigahie. Hianagi kagra'a kaguvazigahane.

But if you warn that wicked person that he should turn away from his sins, and he does not do that, he will die because of his sins, but you will have saved your life.

10 Hagi kagra vahe'mofo mofavre Izikieliga amanage hunka Israeli vahera zamasamio, tamagra amanage nehaze, tagrama huna hazenke zamo'ene kumi'mo'ene refiterantegeta haviza huta mani'none. Hagi inankna huta tagura vazigahune? huta nehaze.

You human, say to the Israeli people, ‘This is what you all are saying: “[The guilt that we have for] disobeying God’s laws and sinning is like a heavy weight on us, and it is hurting us, and we are slowly dying. So what can we do to continue to remain alive?”’

11 Hagi amanage hunka zamasamio, Nagra kefo avu'ava'ma nehia vahe'ma nefrige'na musena nosue. Hianagi kefo avu'ava'ma nehia vahe'mo'ma agu'ama rukrahe huno mani'zanku nave'nesie. Hagi kagu'a rukrahe huo, kagu'a rukrahe huo. Nahanigeta Israeli vahe'mota kumi avu'ava zampina mani'neta frigahaze?

Say to them, ‘Yahweh the Lord says, “As surely as I am alive, I am not happy when wicked people die; I would prefer that they turn away from their wicked behavior and continue to live. So repent! Turn away from your evil behavior! You Israeli people, do you really want to die [RHQ]?”’

12 Hagi vahe'mofo mofavre Izikieliga zamasmio, mago fatgo avu'ava'ma nehania ne'mo'ma kumi'ma haniana, ko'ma hu'nea fatgo avu'ava'amo'a agura ovazigahie. Hagi mago kefo avu'ava'ma nehania ne'mo'ma, agu'a rukrahe huno fatgo avu'ava haniana, ko'ma hu'nea kefo avu'ava'amo'a azeri havizana osugosie.

Therefore, you human, say to your fellow Israelis, ‘If righteous people start to disobey me, their being righteous previously will not save them [from being punished]. And if wicked people turn away from their wicked behavior, they will not die because of the sins that they committed [previously]. And if righteous people start to sin, they will not be allowed to remain alive because of their formerly being righteous.’

13 Hagi fatgo avu'ava'ma nehania vaheku'ma hu'na, kagra ofrinka amne manigahane hu'na hunte'nenua ne'mo'ma, fatgo avu'ava zama'are'ma amentintima nehuno, kumi'ma haniana magore hu'na fatgo avu'ava'ma hu'nea zankura antahiomigosuanki, ana kumi avu'ava'ma hu'nea nona'a frigahie.

If I tell righteous people that they will surely remain alive, but then they trust/think that because they have been righteous previously, they can start to do evil [and not be punished], I will not think about the righteous things that they did previously; they will die because of the evil things that they are doing.

14 Hagi kefo avu'ava'ma nehia vaheku'ma frigahane hu'nama huntesua vahe'mo'ma, ana kumi avu'avazama atreno agua'ama rukrahe huno fatgo avu'avazama nehuno,

And if I say to some wicked person, ‘You will surely die [because of your sins],’ that person may turn away from his sinful behavior and do what is just and right [DOU].

15 negami'na erisue huno huvempa nehuno vahe'mofo zama eri'nesia zana eme nemino, musufama eri'nesia zana venafo ome nemino, vahe'mo'ma kasefa'ma huno mani kasege amage'ma antesia vahe'mo'a, agra ofri knare huno manigahie.

For example, he may return what he took from another person to guarantee [that that person would pay back what he owes], or he may return things that he has stolen, and he may obey the laws that will enable [those who obey them] to remain alive, and he will not continue to do evil things. If that happens, he will surely remain alive; he will not die [because of the sins that he committed previously].

16 Ana hanige'na kumi'ma hu'nea kumi avu'ava'agura mago'enena nagesa ontahigosue. Hagi agra fatgo avu'ava hu'neankino, tamage huno ofrigahianki amne kasefa huno manigahie.

I will not think about the sins that he has committed; he will surely remain alive.

17 Hianagi Izikieliga vaheka'amo'za hu'za, Ra Anumzamo'a fatgo avu'avara nosie hu'za nehaze. Hianagi fatgo avu'ava'ma osu vahera zamagra Israeli vahe mani'naze.

Your fellow Israelis say, ‘What Yahweh does is not fair.’ But it is your behavior that is not fair.

18 Hagi fatgo avu'ava'ma nehania vahe'mo'ma atreno kefo avu'ava'ma haniana, agra ana kefo avu'ava'ma hania zantera frigahie.

If a righteous person turns away from doing what is righteous and starts to do what is evil, [it is fair that] he die because of his sins.

19 Hagi kefo avu'ava'ma nehania vahe'mo'ma ana kefo avu'avazama atreno agu'ama rukrahe huno knare huno fatgo avu'ava'ma haniana, agra ana fatgo avu'ava'ma hu'nea zantera ofri amne manigahie.

And if a wicked person turns away from his wicked behavior and does what is right and fair [DOU], [it is fair] for him to remain alive because of doing that.

20 Hanki tamagra Israeli vahe'mota huta, Ra Anumzamo'a fatgo avu'avara nosie huta hu'nazanki'na, Nagra mago mago vahe'mota tamavu tamavara refko hu'na ketere hugahue.

But you Israeli people still say, ‘What Yahweh does is not fair.’ But I will judge each of you for what you do.”

21 Hagi Babilonima kinama ome hutama mani'nonkeno, 12fuma hia kafumofona 10ni ikantera 5fu knazupa, Jerusalemiti mago ne'mo'a freno Babiloni ehanatino, Jerusalemi rankumara ha' vahe'mo'za eme eri haviza hazage'na koro frena oe huno eme hu'ne.

Almost twelve years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the fifth day of the tenth month [of that year], a man who had escaped from Jerusalem came to me [in Babylon] and said, “Jerusalem has been captured!”

22 Hagi anama koro freno esia nera oki egahianki nehuno, kinaga Ra Anumzamofo hankavemo'a nagrite eno, nagira eri knare huno nagerura nami'neankina ana ne'ma nanterama esige'na agefuna atupa hu'nea vahe knara osu'na, amne agranena keaga hugara hu'noe.

The evening before that man arrived, Yahweh took control [MTY] of me, and when that man arrived, Yahweh enabled me to speak again; I was no longer forced to be silent.

23 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne,

Then Yahweh gave a message to me. He said,

24 Vahe'mofo mofavre Izikieliga, Israeli mopafima haviza hu'nea ranra kumatmimpima nemani'za vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za nevaze, Abrahamu'a magoke ne' mani'neanagi Anumzamo Israeli mopa amigeno erisantihareno mani'neane. Hianagi menina tagra rama'a vahe mani'nonankino, tamagerfa huno ama mopa Anumzamo'a tagri tami'ne hu'za nehaze.

“You human, the people who are living in the ruins in Israel are saying, ‘Abraham was only one person, but Yahweh [promised him that he and his descendants] would possess this land. But we are many; so surely this land has been given to us [by Yahweh] to continue to possess.’

25 E'ina hu'negu amanage hunka zamasamio, Ra Anumzana Agra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, Tamagra korama me'nea ame'a neneta, zamazanteti'ma kaza osu havi anumza'ma tro'ma hunte'naza zana monora hunenteta, vahe'ma zamahe nefriza vahe'mota, ama mopa tagri mopa me'ne huta nehazo?

So send a message to them. Say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: You eat meat that still has the animal’s blood in it. You still worship idols. And you still murder others [MTY]. So, (should this land belong to you?/this land should certainly not belong to you!) [RHQ]

26 Tamagra hateti rehatri huta vahe'zana nehanareta, tava'ontamirema nemaniza vahe'mokizmi a'nanema renehanaraza vahe'mota ama mopa erisanti haregahune huta nehazo?

You rely on using your swords [to obtain things that you want]. You do many detestable things. Each of you has sex with other men’s wives. So (why should you continue to possess the land of Israel?/you should not continue to possess this land!) [RHQ]’

27 Hagi amanage hunka zamasamio, Ra Anumzana Agra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, Nagra kasefa hu'na mani'noa Anumzamo'na huankino, tamage huno Israeli mopafima havizama hu'nea kumatmimpima nemaniza vahera bainati kazinteti zamahe frigahaze. Hagi kumamofo megi'ama vanoma hanaza vahera, afi zagagafamo'za zamahe'za nesanageno, hankave vihufine havegampinema frakiza manisaza vahera krimo zamahe frigahie.

Send this message to them: ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: As surely as I am alive, those who are left in the ruins [in Jerusalem] will also be killed by [their enemies’] swords, and those who are living in the countryside will be killed by wild animals, and those who are living in forts and caves will die from a plague.

28 Hagi ana mopa eri haviza hanenke'za Israeli vahe'moma zamavufaga rama nehaza zamo'a omanenigeno, agonaramimo'a hagege huno magozana omnenkeno anampina vahera vanoa osugahie.

I will cause your country to become a desolate wasteland. You will no longer be proud of being a strong country. The mountains of Israel will become very desolate, with the result that no one will walk across them.

29 Hagi e'ina'ma hu'na ana mopama eri haviza hanugeno maka zamo'ma havizama hanige'za Nagrikura Ra Anumza mani'ne hu'za ke'za antahi'za hugahaze.

Then, when I have caused your country to become a desolate wasteland because of all the detestable things that you have done, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’

30 Hagi vahe'mofo mofavre Izikieliga, vaheka'amo'za kuma kegina tavaonte'ma atruma huge, nonkafa zamire atruma huge'ma hazafina kagrikura amanage hu'za zamagra zamagra mani'zafina nehaze, enketa Ra Anumzamo'ma kasampa vahe'ama asamigenoma nehia naneke ome antahisune hu'za nehaze.

As for you, you human, your fellow Israelis [here in Babylon] are talking about you along the city walls and at the doors of their houses. They are saying to each other, ‘Come and listen to the message that has come from Yahweh!’

31 Hagi zamagra kentahi vahe tro hu'za kagritega ne-eza, Nagri vahekna hu'za kavuga emani'za kema hanankea nentahizanagi, ana nanekea ovaririgahaze. Na'ankure zamagraguke'ma antahizamo zamagu'afina avite'neankiza, vahe'ma zamazeri savri'ma hu'za zagoma eri'za feno vahe'ma mani'zankuke nentahize.

My people come to you as they often have done, and they sit in front of you to listen to what you say. But they do not do what you tell them that they must do. With their mouths they say that they love me, but in their inner beings they are eager to acquire things by doing what is unjust.

32 Hagi kagrama hana nanekemo'a zamagrama antahi'zana, ogenunu agenunuma hu zagame'ma hentofa zamanke'ma ante'za zavenama ahe so'ema nehu'za nehazankna hu'ne. Na'ankure kema hanankea antahi'nazanagi, ana nanekea ontahi'za novaririze.

To them, you are only a man who sings love songs with a beautiful voice, and you play a musical instrument well. They hear what you say, but they do not do what you tell them to do.

33 Hagi tamagerfa huno ama ana nanekemo'a nena raga regahiankino, ana zamo'ma efore'ma hanige'za negesu'za, kasnampa nera kora tagrane mani'neane hu'za ke'za antahi'za hugahaze.

The terrible things that I have said will happen to them will surely happen. And then they will know that a prophet has been among them, [and that you are that prophet].”
