< Ezekiel 16 >

1 LEUM GOD El sifil kaskas nu sik,
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 ac fahk, “Mwet sukawil moul la, fahkang nu sin Jerusalem orekma srungayuk ma el orala.
Son of man, make known unto Jerusalem her abominations,
3 Fahk nu sin Jerusalem ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk nu sel: “Kom tuh isusla in facl sin mwet Canaan. Papa tomom el sie mwet Amor ac nina kiom el sie mwet Hit.
And thou shalt say, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal unto Jerusalem, Thy origin and thy birth are out of the land of Canaan: thy father was an Emorite, and thy mother a Hittite.
4 Ke pacl se kom isusla ah, wangin mwet lusala futom, ku twetekinkomla, ku sohlela monum, ku pwikomla ke ipin nuknuk.
And as for thy birth, on the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, nor wast thou washed in water to he cleansed; and thou wast not rubbed with salt, nor wrapt in swaddling clothes.
5 Wangin mwet pakomutom in oru kutu sin ma inge nu sum. Ke kom isusla ah, sisila kom nu inima ke sripen wangin mwet lungse kom.
No eye looked with pity on thee, to do any of these things unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out on the open field, with a loathing of thy body, on the day that thou wast born.
6 “Na nga fahsryak ac liye ke kom oan tipirpir in srah keim an. Monum afla ke srah, tusruktu nga tia lela kom in misa.
But I passed then by thee, and I saw thee stained with thy own blood, and I said unto thee, In thy blood, live; yea, I said unto thee, In thy blood, live.
7 Nga tufwe kom in kapak oana soko sacn ma kapak wo. Kom kapak kui ac mutan fusrla. Wo aten titi lom, loes aunsifom, tusruktu kom koflufol.
Myriads, like the vegetation of the field, did I make of thee, and thou didst increase and become great, and thou attainedst the highest attractions: with thy breasts developed, and thy hair full grown; but thou wast still naked and bare.
8 “Ke nga sifil fahsryak insac, nga liye lah kom nunak in payuk. Na nga afinya monum ke nuknuk lik luk, ac wuleot mu nga ac lungse kom. Aok, nga orala sie wuleang in marut inmasrloktal, na kom ma lac luk.” Pa inge ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk.
But I passed then by thee, and saw thee, and, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread the skirt of my garment over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I swore unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord Eternal, and thou becamest mine.
9 “Na nga otema kutu kof ac twanla srah keim, ac nga sang oil in olive mosrwekomla.
Then did I bathe thee with water, yea, I thoroughly washed away thy blood from thee; and I anointed thee with oil.
10 Nga nukumkomyang ke nuknuk orekla ke mwe akul na kato, ac sot fahluk orek ke kulun kosro na wowo, ac nga sot sie nuknuk linen mwe lohl suf, ac sie nuknuk lik orekla ke silk.
I clothed thee also with broidered work, and made thee shoes of badger's skin, and I placed on thy head a turban of fine linen, and I covered thee with silk.
11 Nga nawekomla ke mwe lohlpo, ac ah nu inkwawom ma orekla ke eot saok.
And I decked thee with ornaments, and I placed bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain around thy neck.
12 Nga sot sie ring nu ke fwem, oayapa yaring, ac sie tefuro na oasku.
And I placed a ring on thy nose, and earrings in thy ears, and a crown of splendor on thy head.
13 Oasr mwe naweyuk lom orekla ke gold ac silver, ac pacl nukewa kom nukum nuknuk linen ac silk ma akul uh. Kom mongo bread ma orekla ke flao wowo, ac oasr honey ac oil in olive kom kang. Katoiyom arulana oasku, na kom kasrala.
Thus wast thou ornamented with gold and silver; and thy garments were of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; fine flour, and honey, and oil didst thou eat: and thou wast exceedingly beautiful, and thou didst succeed to acquire dominion.
14 Kom pwengpeng in mutunfacl nukewa ke sripen kato lom, mweyen nga pa orekomla in arulana oasku.” Pa inge ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk.
And thy fame went forth among the nations because of thy beauty; for it was perfect through my glorious ornament, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord Eternal.
15 “Tuh ke sripen kom konkun kato ac pwengpeng lom, kom oan yurin kutena mukul su tuku nu yurum.
But thou didst trust in thy beauty, and play the harlot because of thy fame, and lavish thy lewd caresses on every one that passed by—on him they were bestowed.
16 Kom orekmakin kutu nuknuk lom in sang yuni nien alu sum. Na kom eiskomyang nu sin kutena mukul, oana sie mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lal.
And thou didst take from thy garments, and deck thee high-places with divers colors, and play the harlot thereupon: never should the like come to pass, and never should it be so.
17 Kom eisla mwe yun silver ac gold su nga sot lom, ac kom sang taflela ma sruloala in luman mukul uh, ac orek kosro nu kac.
And thou didst take thy elegant ornaments of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and make for thyself male images, and play the harlot with them;
18 Kom eisla nuknuk akul su nga sot lom ac sang nokomang ma sruloala ingan, ac kom kisakin nu selos oil in olive ac mwe keng ma nga sot nu sum.
And thou didst take thy broidered garments, and cover them: and my oil and my incense didst thou place before them.
19 Nga sot nom flao na wowo, oil in olive, ac honey, tuh pa kom kisakin ma inge in akinsewowoye ma sruloala uh.” Pa inge ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk.
And my bread which I had given thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, which I had let thee eat, even this didst thou set before them for a sweet savour: yes, so was it, saith the Lord Eternal.
20 “Na kom eis tulik mukul ac mutan ma kom oswela nu sik, ac kisakunulos nu ke ma sruloala uh. Ya tia fal tari ke kom tia pwaye nu sik?
And thou didst take thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hadst born unto me, and didst slaughter these unto them to be devoured; [but] were thy acts of lewdness not yet enough?
21 Na efu kom ku sifil sang tulik nutik uh in mwe kisa nu ke ma sruloala?
That thou didst slay my children, and give them up to cause them to pass through the fire for them?
22 Ke pacl se kom moulkin lumah srungayuk oana sie mutan kosro, kom tiana esamak pacl se kom tulik, koflufol ac tipirpir in srah keim sifacna.”
And in all thy abominations and thy acts of lewdness thou didst not remember the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, when thou wast stained with thy blood.
23 LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk, “We nu sum! Kom oru ma koluk inge nukewa,
And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, —[woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord Eternal; ]—
24 na sisken inkanek nukewa kom musaela nien alu nu ke ma sruloala, ac iwen orek kosro.
That thou didst build unto thyself eminences, and make thyself elevations in every street.
25 Kom akfohkfokyela kato lom yen furarrar, ac kom fuhleang monum nu sin kutena mukul su fahsryak, ac moul in kosro lom uh yokelik len na len.
On the corner of every road didst thou build thy elevations, and make thy beauty abominable, and spread out thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiply thy acts of lewdness.
26 Kom kukakin monum nu sin mwet Egypt, su mwet tulan elahn kosro, na kom oru kosro lom uh in akkasrkusrakyeyu.
And thou didst play the harlot with the Egyptians, thy neighbors, with large limbs, and multiply thy acts of lewdness, to provoke me to anger.
27 “Na inge, nga srukak pouk in kai kom, ac in eisla ip lom ke mwe insewowo luk uh. Nga eiskomyang nu inpoun mwet Philistia su srungakom ac mwekin ke moul fohkfok lom.
And, behold, I stretched out my hand over thee, and diminished thy stated portion; and I gave thee up unto the will of those that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, who were made to blush for thy incestuous course.
28 “Ke sripen kom tiana muti yorolos, oru kom ukwe mwet Assyria. Kom kukakin monum nu selos, tuh kom tia pac muti selos.
Then didst thou play the harlot with the sons of Asshur, because thou wast unsatiable: yea, thou didst play the harlot with them, and wast even then not satisfied.
29 Kom oayapa orek kosro yurin mwet Babylonia, sie facl pwengpeng ke kuka, tuh pa kom tia pac muti selos.”
And thou didst multiply thy lewdness with the traders' land as far as Chaldea; and even with this wast thou not satisfied.
30 Pa inge ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk: “Kom oru ma inge nukewa oana sie mutan kosro na sumwekin.
How very corrupt is thy heart, saith the Lord Eternal, seeing thou didst all these things, deeds of an abandoned lewd woman;
31 Kom musaela acn in alu nu ke ma sruloala oayapa iwen orek kosro ke inkanek nukewa. Tusruktu kom tia sukok mani in oana mutan saya ma kukakin manolos.
Seeing that thou didst build thy eminences at the corner of every road, and make thy elevations in every street; and wast not like a harlot, as thou scornedst the wages.
32 Kom oana mutan su lungse orek kosro yurin mukul saya, ac tia lungse oan yurin mukul tumal sifacna.
O thou adulterous wife! who, while bound to her husband, receiveth strangers!
33 Mutan kosro uh elos eis molin kosro lalos, a kom sang monum, tia moul, nu sin mukul ma orek pwar nu sum, ac kom sang mani in eyeinse nu selos in tuku liki acn nukewa ac oan yurum.
Unto all harlots they give presents; but thou hast given thy presents to all thy lovers, and hast bribed them, that they might come unto thee from every side in thy acts of lewdness.
34 Kom tiana oana mutan kosro saya. Wangin mwet akkohsye kom in sie mutan kosro. Tia moul nu sum, a kom moli nu selos! Pwayena lah kom siena lukelos.”
And the reverse was the case with thee from [other] women in thy acts of lewdness, that men did not follow thee to seek thy lewd caresses; and because thou gavest the wages, and no wages were given thee: so was it the reverse with thee.
35 Jerusalem, kom mutan kosro se! Inge, lohng ma LEUM GOD El fahk uh.
Therefore, O harlot, hear the word of the Lord!
36 Pa inge ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk: “Kom tuh sarukla nuknuk lom, na oana sie mutan kosro kom tuh eiskomyang sifacna nu sin mukul kawuk lom ac nu ke ma sruloala srungayuk nukewa lom. Ac kom oayapa uniya tulik nutum ac kisakunulos nu ke ma sruloala uh.
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Whereas thy wealth was squandered, and thy nakedness was uncovered through thy lewd acts with thy lovers, and with all thy abominable idols, and for the blood of thy children, whom thou didst give unto them:
37 Ke sripa inge, nga ac eisani nufon mwet kom orek pwar nu se meet ah — elos su kom lungse ac elos su kom srunga. Nga ac usalosme elos in raunikomla, na nga ac sarukkomla ac sang elos in liye ke kom koflufol uh.
Therefore, behold, I will gather all thy lovers, whom thou hast given pleasure, and all whom thou hast loved, together with all whom thou hast hated, —yea, I will gather them all round about thee, and will uncover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
38 Nga ac nununkekom ke sripen kom kunausla wulela in marut lom, ac oayapa akmas. In kasrkusrak lulap luk, nga wotela mu kom ac misa.
And I will judge thee, as adulteresses and women that shed blood are judged; and I will bring upon thee the blood of fury and jealousy.
39 Nga ac filikomi ye ku lalos, ac elos ac kunausya acn kom orekmakin in kukakin monum, ac nien alu lom nu ke ma sruloala. Elos ac usla nuknuk lom ac mwe yun lom, ac filikomi koflufol.
And I will also give thee up into their hand, and they shall pull down thy eminences, and shall break down thy elevations; and they shall strip thee of thy clothes, and they shall take thy elegant ornaments, and leave thee naked and bare.
40 “Elos ac purakak sie un mwet in tungal kom nwe ke kom misa, ac elos ac sipsipikya monum nu ke ip srisrik ke cutlass natulos.
And they shall bring up against thee an assembly, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords;
41 Elos ac esukak lohm sum nukewa, ac oru tuh mutan puspis in liye kaiyuk nu sum uh. Nga ac oru kom in tui liki moul in kosro lom an, ac oru kom in tia sifil sang mwe moul nu sin mukul kom orek pwar yoro.
And they shall burn thy houses with fire, and execute punishments on thee before the eyes of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from being a harlot, and also the wages [of sin] shalt thou not give any more.
42 Ouinge kasrkusrak luk ac safla, ac nga fah inse misla. Nga fah tia sifil kasrkusrak, ac tia sifilpa lemta.
And then will I assuage my fury on thee, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
43 Kom mulkunla orekma luk nu sum ke kom srik ah, ac kom akkasrkusrakyeyu ke ma nukewa kom orala. Ouinge nga ac oru kom in eis mwatan ma inge nukewa. Efu kom ku sang elahn kosro in weang ma srungayuk nukewa ma kom orala?” LEUM GOD Fulatlana pa fahk ma inge.
Because that thou didst not remember the days of thy youth, but didst irritate me with all these things: behold, therefore I also will bring thy course upon thy head, saith the Lord Eternal, and thou shalt no more commit incest with all thy [other] abominations.
44 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Jerusalem, mwet uh ac fahk soakas se inge keim: ‘Tulik mutan se ac kwa nina kial.’
Behold, every one that speaketh in proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As the mother is, so is her daughter.
45 Pwayena lah kom kwa nina kiom uh. El arulana srunga mukul tumal ac tulik natul. Kom oana tamtael wiom su srunga mukul tumalos ac tulik natulos. Kom, ac siti wiom ingan, ma nutin nina Hit se ac papa Amor se.
Thou art thy mother's daughter, loathing her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, who have loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Emorite.
46 “Mutan se wiom ma matu pa Samaria layen epang, wi inkul ma oan raunela. Ac mutan se wiom ma fusr pa Sodom layen eir, wi inkul ma oan raunela.
And thy elder sister is Samaria, she with her daughters, that dwelleth at thy left hand, and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom with her daughters.
47 Ku kom falkin in fahsr in falkalos ac etai ouiya srungayuk elos oru? Mo. In kitin pacl ah na kom orekma koluk yohk lukelos in ma nukewa kom oru.”
Yet not even in their ways didst thou walk, nor act according to their abominations: as though this were quite too little, and thou wast more corrupt than they in all thy ways.
48 LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk, “Oana ke nga pa God moul, Sodom mutan se wiom ac inkul ma raunela, tiana oru ouiya koluk ma kom, ac inkul raunikomla ingan, orala.
As I live, saith the Lord Eternal, Sodom thy sister, she with her daughters, hath not done as thou hast done, thou with thy daughters.
49 El, ac acn natul uh, arulana konkin ke pus mwe mongo nalos ac elos muta in misla ac insraelak, tusruktu elos tiana kasru mwet sugasrup ac mwet enenu.
Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom: Pride, abundance of food, and prosperous security were hers and her daughters'; but the hand of the poor and needy did she not strengthen.
50 Elos inse fulat ac likkeke ac oru ma nga srunga, pwanang nga kunauselosla, oana kom etu.
And they became haughty, and committed abominations before me: therefore did I remove them when I saw their course.
51 “Ma koluk lal Samaria tia tafu nu ke ma koluk kom orala. Kom oru ma srungayuk arulana yohk liki ma el orala. Ouiya srungayuk lom uh arulana yohk, oru oana in wangin ma koluk lun mutan luo wiom kut fin kapsra ma koluk lalos nu ke ma koluk lom uh.
And Samaria hath not committed even the half of thy sins; but thou didst multiply thy abominations more than they; and thou hast justified thy sisters through all thy abominations which thou hast done.
52 Inge mwekin lom uh ac fah oanna fom. Moul koluk lom an arulana yohk liki mutan luo wiom, pwanang mwet uh pangon mu wangin ma koluk lalos. Kom ac mwekyekinna, mweyen ma koluk lom uh oru oana in wangin mwatan mutan luo wiom.”
Bear then thou also thy own confusion, which thou didst adjudge unto each of thy sisters; through thy sins, which thou hast committed more abominably than they, are they made more righteous than thou: therefore thou also—be ashamed, and bear thy confusion, since thou hast justified thy sisters.
53 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin Jerusalem, “Nga ac oru tuh Sodom ac inkul we, oayapa Samaria ac inkul we, in sifil kapkapak. Aok, nga ac oru tuh kom in kapkapak pac.
And I will bring back again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of the captives in the midst of them:
54 Kom ac mwekyekin orekma koluk lom an, na mwekin lom uh ac oru mutan wiom an in akilen lah ma koluk lalos uh srik liki kom.
In order that thou mayest bear thy confusion, and mayest be confounded because of all that thou hast done, when thou art a comfort unto them.
55 Elos ac sifilpa akwoyeyuk oana meet, na kom, ac inkul lom, ac sifil akwoyeyukla pac.
And thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former state, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former state, and thou and thy daughters shall return to your former state.
56 Ya kom tuh tia orek aksruksruk ke acn Sodom in pacl kom inse fulat,
And was not thy sister Sodom a report in thy mouth in the days of thy pride,
57 meet liki ma koluk lom fwackyak? Inge kom oapana el, sie mwe aksruksruk yurin mwet Edom, mwet Philistia, ac mutunfacl atulani lom su srungakom.
Before yet thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all those round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, who taunted thee on all sides?
58 Kom ac fah keok ke ouiya fohkfok ac srungayuk ma kom orala.” LEUM GOD pa fahk ma inge.
Thy incest and thy abominations, —thou thyself hadst to bear them, saith the Lord.
59 LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk, “Nga fah oru nu sum fal nu ke orekma lom, mweyen kom pilesru wulela lom ac kunausla wuleang inmasrlosr.
For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, thou who hast despised the oath by breaking the covenant.
60 Tusruktu nga fah esam na wuleang su nga orala nu sum ke kom srakna fusr, ac nga fah oakiya yurum sie wuleang su ac fah oan nwe tok.
Nevertheless will I indeed remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.
61 Kom ac esam ouiyen moul lom ac mwekin kac ke kom ac sifil eis tamtael matu ac fusr wiom. Nga fah eisaloswot tuh elos in oana acn nutum, finne tia ipin wuleang se ma nga orala yurum ah.
And thou shalt then remember thy ways, and be confounded, when thou receivest thy sisters, both those that are older than thou and younger than thou: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, though not because thou wast faithful to the covenant.
62 Nga ac aksasuyela wuleang luk yurum, ac kom fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.
And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord:
63 Nga fah nunak munas ke ma koluk nukewa ma kom orala, tusruktu kom fah esam na ma ingan ac mwekin in fahk kutena ma.” LEUM GOD Fulatlana pa fahk ma inge.
In order that thou mayest remember, and feel ashamed, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy confusion, when I forgive thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord Eternal.
