Ezekiel 12
1 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, kom muta inmasrlon mwet lungsena alein. Oasr mutalos, a elos tia liye mau. Oasr insraclos, a elos tia lohng mau, mweyen elos lungse alein.
“Son of man, you live in the midst of a provoking house. They have eyes to see, and they do not see; and ears to hear, and they do not hear. For they are a provoking house.
3 “Inge, mwet sukawil, apweni kutu ma lom ingan in oana luman sie mwet kaing, ac mukuiyak meet liki fongeni. Lela mwet uh in liye lah kom ac som nu ke sie pac acn. Sahp mwet lungse alein ingan ac akilen kom.
As for you, then, son of man, prepare for yourself the supplies for traveling far away, and travel away in the daytime in their sight. And you shall travel from your place to another place in their sight, so that perhaps they may consider it. For they are a provoking house.
4 Apweni ma kom ac us nu in sruoh ke srakna len. Lela mwet nukewa in liye ke kom ac fahla ke ekela uh, elos in pangon mu kom ac som nu in sruoh.
And you shall carry your supplies outside, like the supplies of one who is traveling far away, in the daytime in their sight. Then you shall go forth in the evening in their presence, just as one goes forth who is moving far away.
5 Ke pacl elos ac liye kom an, pukanla sie pat ah ke sinka in lohm sum, ac eis ap lom an ac tufoki kac.
Dig for yourself through the wall, before their eyes. And you shall go out through it.
6 Lela elos in liye ke kom ac srukak ap lom nu finpisom ac illa nu in lohsr uh. Afinya motom kom in tia ku in liye acn kom fahsr we. Ma kom oru inge ac fah sie mwe akul in sensenkin mwet Israel.”
In their sight, you shall be carried on shoulders, you shall be carried in the dark. You shall cover your face, and you shall not see the ground. For I have appointed you as a portent for the house of Israel.”
7 Na nga oru oana LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik. In len sac nga apweni ap se in oana mwet ac kaingla se, ac ke eku sac ke mutawauk in lohsrla, nga pukanla sinka ah ke pouk, ac illa. Na nga srukak ap sac nu finpisuk ac som ke mwet nukewa liye.
Therefore, I did just as he had instructed me. I brought out my supplies in the daytime, like the supplies of one who is moving far away. And in the evening, I dug myself through the wall by hand. And I went out in the dark, and I was carried on shoulders, in their sight.
8 Ke lotutan tok ah LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
And the word of the Lord came to me, in the morning, saying:
9 “Mwet sukawil, inge mwet alein lun Israel fin siyuk lah mea kom oru an
“Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the provoking house, said to you: ‘What are you doing?’
10 kom fahkang ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk nu selos. Kas inge ma nu sin fisrak se su leumi acn Jerusalem, oayapa mwet nukewa su muta we.
Say to them: Thus says the Lord God: This is the burden concerning my leader who is in Jerusalem, and concerning the entire house of Israel, who are in their midst.
11 Fahk nu selos lah ma kom oru inge ac sie mwe akul nu ke ma ac sikyak nu selos. Elos ac fah mwet kaing ac mwet sruoh.
Say: I am your portent. Just as I have done, so shall it be done to them. They will be taken captive and moved far away.
12 Fisrak se su leum faclos ac fah lippisauk ap lal in lohsr uh, ac kaingla ke pat se ma elos pukanla nu sel ke sinka ah. El ac fah afinya mutal ac tia liye acn el fahsr nu we.
And the leader who is in their midst will be carried on shoulders; he will go forth in darkness. They will dig through the wall, so that they may lead him away. His face will be covered, so that he may not see the land with his eye.
13 Tusruk nga fah sisalik nwek nutik uh in sruokilya. Na nga fah usalla nu in siti Babylon, yen el ac misa we ac tia liye acn uh.
And I will extend my net over him, and he will be captured in my dragnet. And I will lead him to Babylon, into the land of the Chaldeans, but he himself will not see it. And there he shall die.
14 Nga fah akfahsryelik mwet nukewa inkul sel nu yen nukewa — mwet pwapu fulat lal ac mwet mweun karinginyal. Ac mwet uh fah sokolos in onelosi.
And all who are around him, his guards and his companies, I will scatter into every wind. And I will unsheathe the sword after them.
15 “Ke nga ac akfahsreloselik nu in mutunfacl saya uh, elos ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.
And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have dispersed them among the Gentiles, and will have sowed them among the lands.
16 Nga ac fah lela kutu selos in moulla liki mweun, sracl, ac mas. Ouinge ke elos muta inmasrlon mwet in facl saya an elos fah akilen lupan moul koluk lalos, ac etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.”
And I will leave behind a few men of them, apart from the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence, so that they may declare all their wicked deeds among the Gentiles, to whom they will go. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
17 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
18 ac fahk, “Mwet sukawil, kom in rarrar ke pacl kom mongo, ac sangeng rarrar ke pacl kom ac nim.
“Son of man, eat your bread in consternation. Moreover, drink your water hurriedly and in sorrow.
19 Fahk nu sin mwet in facl sacn nufon lah pa inge kas sin LEUM GOD Fulatlana nu sin mwet su muta Jerusalem — elos su srakna muta in facl selos: Elos ac fah rarrar ke pacl elos mongo, ac sangeng ac rarrar ke elos ac nim. Facl selos ac sikiyukla mweyen mwet nukewa su muta we elos moul sulallal ac kunaus ma sap.
And say to the people of the land: Thus says the Lord God, to those who are living in Jerusalem, in the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread in anxiety, and drink their water in desolation, so that the land may be desolate before its multitude, because of the iniquity of all who are living in it.
20 Siti nukewa ma nwanala ke mwet in pacl inge ac fah kunausyukla, ac facl sac nufon ac fah acn mwesisla. Na elos ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.”
And cities that are now inhabited will become desolate, and the land will be forsaken. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”
21 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
22 ac fahk, “Mwet sukawil, efu ku mwet Israel elos kalwenina soakas se inge: ‘Pacl uh somla, a kas in palu uh tiana sikyak.’
“Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel? saying: ‘The days shall be extended in length, and every vision shall perish.’
23 Inge, fahkang nu selos ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk ke ma ingan. Nga ac sisla soakas se ingan, na ac fah tia sifil srumunyuk in Israel. Fahkang nu selos lah pa inge pacl kas in palu uh ac akpwayeiyuk!
Therefore, say to them: Thus says the Lord God: I will cause this proverb to cease, and it shall no longer be a common saying in Israel. And tell them that the days are approaching, and the word of every vision.
24 “Ac fah tia sifil oasr aruruma kikiap ku kas in palu tia pwaye inmasrlon mwet Israel.
For there shall no longer be any empty visions, nor any ambiguous divination in the midst of the sons of Israel.
25 Nga, LEUM GOD, fah sifacna kaskas nu selos, ac ma nga ac fahk uh ac tia pahtlac in sikyak. Kowos mwet likkeke, nga ac oru ma nga fahk mu nga ac oru ke pacl kowos srakna moul. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge!”
For I, the Lord, will speak. And whatever word I will speak, it shall be done, and it shall not be delayed any more. Instead, in your days, O provoking house, I will speak a word and do it, says the Lord God.”
26 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
27 “Mwet sukawil, mwet Israel elos nunku mu aruruma lom ac kas in palu lom tia ma ac sa sikyak, a ma na nwe tok.
“Son of man, behold the house of Israel, those who are saying: ‘The visions that this one sees is many days away,’ and, ‘This man prophesies about times that are far away.’
28 Ke ma inge fahkang nu selos lah nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk mu: Ac fah tia sifilpa pahtlac. Ma nga fahkla uh ac orekla. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge!”
Because of this, say to them: Thus says the Lord God: No word of mine will be delayed any longer. The word that I will speak will be fulfilled, says the Lord God.”
