Ezekiel 11
1 Ngun lun God srukyuyak ac usyula nu ke mutunpot se layen kutulap ke Tempul. Nga liye mukul longoul limekosr sisken mutunpot sac, ac luo selos mwet kol lun mutunfacl sac: Jaazaniah wen natul Azzur, ac Pelatiah wen natul Benaiah.
[Then God’s] Spirit lifted me up and took me to the gate on the east side of the temple area. There at the gate were 25 men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, who were leaders of the people.
2 God El fahk nu sik, “Mwet sukawil moul la, mwet inge elos orek pwapa koluk ac sang kas in kasru koluk nu sin mwet in siti se inge.
Yahweh said to me, “You human, these are the [new leaders in Jerusalem] who are planning to do evil things and who are giving wicked advice [to people] in this city.
3 Elos fahk, ‘Ac tia paht kut ac sifil musai lohm sesr uh. Siti uh oana luman sie tup, ac kut oana ikwa loac uh, tusruktu tup sac el loangkutla liki e uh.’
They say, ‘[Everything will go well for us, so] it will surely soon be [RHQ] time to build houses. [We are like] [MET] fine/choice pieces of meat that are carefully stored in covered pots, and we are protected [from the bad things that will happen to others].’
4 Inge, kom mwet sukawil, fahkak lah ma elos oru uh koluk.”
So, you human, prophesy [the terrible things that will happen to] them.”
5 Ngun lun LEUM GOD putati fuk, ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik in fahkang kas inge nu sin mwet uh: “Mwet Israel, nga etu ma kowos fahk, ac ma kowos akoo in oru.
Then the Spirit of Yahweh came upon me and told me to [to the people], “This is what Yahweh says: You Israeli people [MTY] are saying those things, but I know what you are thinking.
6 Kowos uniya mwet puspis in siti uh, oru inkanek uh nwanala ke monin mwet misa.
You have killed many people in this city and filled the streets with their corpses.
7 “Na pa inge ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk nu suwos. Pwaye lah siti se inge oana sie tup, a mea ikwa loac uh? Pa monin mwet misa kowos uniya! Kowos ac tia muta inge, mweyen nga ac siskowosla liki siti uh.
Therefore this is what Yahweh the Lord says: The corpses of the people whom you have killed here are [like] the meat [MET], and this city is [like] the pot [MET], but I will expel you from this city.
8 Ya kowos sangeng ke cutlass? Nga ac use mwet utuk cutlass in mweuni kowos.
You are afraid [being killed by enemies’] swords, and that is what I will cause to happen to you.
9 Nga ac uskowosla liki siti uh ac eiskowosyang nu inpoun mutunfacl saya. Nga wotela mu kowos in misa,
I will expel you from this city and enable foreigners to capture you and punish you.
10 ac kowos ac fah anwuki in facl suwos ke mweun. Na mwet nukewa ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.
They will kill [EUP] you with their swords; you will be punished [right here] in Israel. Then people will realize that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
11 Siti se inge ac tia loangekowosla in oana ke tup se ac loangela ikwa loac uh. Nga ac kalyei kowos yen nukewa kowos muta we in facl Israel.
This city will not be [a place were you will be protected like] [MET] meat in a covered pot. I will punish you wherever you are in Israel.
12 Kowos ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD. Ke kowos liyaung ma sap lun facl atulani nu suwos, kowos kunaus ma sap luk, ac seakos ma nga sapkin.”
And you will know that I, Yahweh, [have predicted that would happen], because you have not obeyed my commands and decrees; instead, you have imitated [wicked] behavior [of the people] of the nearby nations.”
13 Ke nga srakna orek palu, Pelatiah el topla misa. Na nga faksufi ac wola, “We, LEUM GOD Fulatlana! Ku kom ac uniya nufon mwet lula in Israel?”
While I was prophesying that, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah [suddenly] died. Then I prostrated myself on the ground and cried out loudly, “Yahweh my Lord, are you going [similarly] get rid of all the Israeli people who are still alive?”
14 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik,
Then Yahweh gave me this message:
15 ac fahk, “Mwet sukawil, mwet su muta in acn Jerusalem elos kaskas keim ac ke mwet Israel wiom su muta in sruoh. Elos fahk mu, ‘Mwet sruoh elos muta yen loessula, oru elos tia ku in alu nu sin LEUM GOD, pwanang El ase facl se inge in ma lac sesr.’
“You human, the people who are still in Jerusalem are talking about you and your own relatives and about all the other people who were (exiled/forced to go to other countries), saying, ‘They [in Babylonia], far from Yahweh. They have left their [here in Israel, so] their property now belongs to us!’”
16 “Inge, fahkang nu sin mwet wiom su muta in sruoh ma nga ac fahk nu sum uh. Nga pa supwalosla nu in facl loesla, ac akfahsryeloselik nu in mutunfacl saya. Tusruktu in pacl inge nga ac welulos na in kutena facl elos oasr we.
So tell [them], “This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Although I caused them to be taken far [from Israel] and scattered them among other nations, for a short time I will (be like a refuge for/protect) them in the countries to which they have been taken.”
17 “Ouinge fahkang nu selos ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk uh. Nga ac fah eisaloseni liki mutunfacl nga tuh akfahsryaloselik we, ac folokunang facl Israel nu selos.
So also tell them, “This is what Yahweh the Lord says: [Some day] I will gather you from the [to which you have been taken] and bring you back to Israel, and you will live in your country/land [again].
18 Ke elos ac foloko, elos enenu in sisla ma sruloala fohkfok ac srungayuk nukewa elos konauk we.
When you return to your country, you will get rid of all the vile statues of gods and detestable idols.
19 Nga ac sang nu selos inse sasu ac nunak sasu, ac nga ac eisla lukelos inse upa ac likkeke, ac sang nu selos inse akosten.
I will put a new way of thinking [IDM] within you. I will cause you to no longer be stubborn [IDM], and I will enable you to obey me completely [IDM].
20 Ouinge elos ac liyaung ma sap luk ac oaru in akos ma nukewa ma nga sapkin. Elos ac fah mwet luk ac nga ac fah God lalos.
When I do that, you will carefully obey all my laws [DOU]. You will be my people, and I will be your God.
21 Tusruk nga ac fah kai mwet su lungsena alu nu ke ma sruloala fohkfok ac srungayuk. Nga ac kalyaelos ke ma elos oru inge.” LEUM GOD Fulatlana pa fahk ma inge.
But as for those who are devoted [worshiping] their vile statues and detestable idols, I will punish them as they deserve for the evil things that they have done.’”
22 Na cherub uh mutawauk in sohkak, ac wheel uh welulos pac. Kalem saromrom lun God lun Israel oan faclos.
Then the winged creatures, with their wheels beside them, spread their [and flew up into the air], and the dazzling brightness of Yahweh was above them.
23 Na kalem saromrom sac som liki siti uh, ac mukuila nu ke fineol su oan layen kutulap.
That light went up away from the city and stopped above the mountain to the east of the city.
24 Ke aruruma se inge, ngun lun God srukyuyak ac folokinyula nu yurin mwet sruoh in acn Babylonia. Ouinge aruruma sac wanginla.
In the vision [that I had been seeing, God’s] Spirit lifted me up and brought me [back] to the (exiles in/people who had been forced to go to) Babylonia. Then the vision ended,
25 Ac nga fahkang nu sin mwet sruoh ma nukewa ma LEUM GOD El tuh akkalemye nu sik.
and I told the exiles everything that Yahweh had shown [in the vision].
