Ezekiel 12

1 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,

The LORD’s word also 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 dwell in the middle of the rebellious house, who have eyes to see, and don’t see, who have ears to hear, and don’t hear; for they are a rebellious 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.

“Therefore, you son of man, prepare your baggage for moving, and move by day in their sight. You shall move from your place to another place in their sight. It may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious 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.

You shall bring out your baggage by day in their sight, as baggage for moving. You shall go out yourself at evening in their sight, as when men go out into exile.

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 through the wall in their sight, and carry your baggage out that way.

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 bear it on your shoulder, and carry it out in the dark. You shall cover your face, so that you don’t see the land, for I have set you for a sign to 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.

I did so as I was commanded. I brought out my baggage by day, as baggage for moving, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my hand. I brought it out in the dark, and bore it on my shoulder in their sight.

8 Ke lotutan tok ah LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ac fahk,

In the morning, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,

9 “Mwet sukawil, inge mwet alein lun Israel fin siyuk lah mea kom oru an

“Son of man, hasn’t the house of Israel, the rebellious 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, ‘The Lord GOD says: “This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel amongst whom they are.”’

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 sign. As I have done, so will it be done to them. They will go into exile, into captivity.

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.

“‘The prince who is amongst them will bear his baggage on his shoulder in the dark, and will go out. They will dig through the wall to carry things out that way. He will cover his face, because he will not see the land with his eyes.

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.

I will also spread my net on him, and he will be taken in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Kasdim; yet he will not see it, though he will die there.

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.

I will scatter towards every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his bands. I will draw out the sword after them.

15 “Ke nga ac akfahsreloselik nu in mutunfacl saya uh, elos ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.

“‘They will know that I am the LORD when I disperse them amongst the nations and scatter them through the countries.

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.”

But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence, that they may declare all their abominations amongst the nations where they come. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”

17 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik

Moreover the LORD’s word 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 with quaking, and drink your water with trembling and with fearfulness.

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.

Tell the people of the land, ‘The Lord GOD says concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem and Eretz-Israel: “They will eat their bread with fearfulness and drink their water in dismay, that her land may be desolate, and all that is therein, because of the violence of all those who dwell therein.

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.”

The cities that are inhabited will be laid waste, and the land will be a desolation. Then you will know that I am the LORD.”’”

21 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik,

The LORD’s word 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 Eretz-Israel, saying, ‘The days are prolonged, and every vision fails’?

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!

Tell them therefore, ‘The Lord GOD says: “I will make this proverb to cease, and they will no more use it as a proverb in Israel;”’ but tell them, ‘“The days are at hand, and the fulfilment of every vision.

24 “Ac fah tia sifil oasr aruruma kikiap ku kas in palu tia pwaye inmasrlon mwet Israel.

For there will be no more any false vision nor flattering divination within the house 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 am the LORD. I will speak, and the word that I speak will be performed. It will be no more deferred; for in your days, rebellious house, I will speak the word and will perform it,” says the Lord GOD.’”

26 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,

Again the LORD’s word 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, they of the house of Israel say, ‘The vision that he sees is for many days to come, and he prophesies of times that are far off.’

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!”

“Therefore tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “None of my words will be deferred any more, but the word which I speak will be performed,” says the Lord GOD.’”
