Ezekiel 16
1 LEUM GOD El sifil kaskas nu sik,
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
2 ac fahk, “Mwet sukawil moul la, fahkang nu sin Jerusalem orekma srungayuk ma el orala.
Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know 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 say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to Jerusalem: Thine origin and thy nativity were of the land of Canaan. Thy father was an Amorite, 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 to thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water so as to be cleansed. Thou wast not sprinkled with salt, nor wrapped 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 pitied thee, to do to thee any of these things, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out into the open field, so as to loathe thyself, on the day 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.
And when I passed by thee, and saw thee in danger of being trodden under foot in thy blood, I said to thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live! yea, I said to thee when thou wast 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.
I caused thee to increase like the plant of the field, and thou didst grow, and become tall, and didst attain to distinguished charms. Thy breasts swelled, and thy hair grew, whereas thou wast 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.
And when I passed by thee, and saw thee, behold, it was thy time, the time of love. And I spread my skirt over thee and covered thy nakedness; and I swore to thee, and entered into covenant with thee, and thou becamest mine.
9 “Na nga otema kutu kof ac twanla srah keim, ac nga sang oil in olive mosrwekomla.
Then I washed 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 gave thee shoes of seal's skin, and wrapped thee about with fine linen, and 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 put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain upon thy neck.
12 Nga sot sie ring nu ke fwem, oayapa yaring, ac sie tefuro na oasku.
And I put a jewel in thy nostril, and ear-rings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon 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 adorned with gold and silver, and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work. Fine flour and honey and oil didst thou eat; and thou wast exceedingly beautiful, and didst prosper so as to become a queen.
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 renown went forth among the nations for thy beauty; for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord Jehovah.
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 didst play the harlot because of thy renown, and didst lavish thy fornications on every one that passed by; his was it.
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 of thy garments thou didst take, and didst make thee high places, spread with divers colors, and didst play the harlot thereon, the like things to which shall not come to pass, neither shall they be.
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.
Thou didst take also thy fair jewels of my gold and my silver, which I gave thee, and didst make to thyself images of men, and didst commit fornication 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 thou didst set mine oil and mine incense 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.
My food also, which I gave thee, fine flour and oil and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou didst set it before them with a sweet savor; even thus it was, saith the Lord Jehovah.
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?
Moreover thou didst take thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou didst bear to me, and these didst thou sacrifice to them to be devoured. Was it not enough for thee to commit fornication,
21 Na efu kom ku sifil sang tulik nutik uh in mwe kisa nu ke ma sruloala?
that thou didst slay my children, and deliver them up to cause them to pass through the fire to 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 thine abominations and thy fornications, thou didst not remember the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and in danger of being trampled under foot in 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 to thee! saith the Lord Jehovah, )
24 na sisken inkanek nukewa kom musaela nien alu nu ke ma sruloala, ac iwen orek kosro.
that thou didst build for thee an arched place, and make thee a high place 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.
at every head of the way didst thou build thy high place, and didst make thy beauty to be abhorred, and didst open thy feet to every one that passed by, and didst multiply thy fornications.
26 Kom kukakin monum nu sin mwet Egypt, su mwet tulan elahn kosro, na kom oru kosro lom uh in akkasrkusrakyeyu.
Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians, thy neighbors, having great members, and hast multiplied thy fornications 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.
Therefore, behold, I have stretched out my hand against thee, and have diminished thine allowance, and delivered thee to the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of thy lewd way.
28 “Ke sripen kom tiana muti yorolos, oru kom ukwe mwet Assyria. Kom kukakin monum nu selos, tuh kom tia pac muti selos.
Thou hast also committed fornication with the Assyrians, because thou wast insatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldst not be satisfied.
29 Kom oayapa orek kosro yurin mwet Babylonia, sie facl pwengpeng ke kuka, tuh pa kom tia pac muti selos.”
Thou hast also multiplied thy fornication with the land of Canaan, even to Chaldaea; and yet wast thou not satisfied therewith.
30 Pa inge ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk: “Kom oru ma inge nukewa oana sie mutan kosro na sumwekin.
How faint was thy heart, saith the Lord Jehovah, that thou didst all those things which an imperious whorish wife doeth,
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.
in that thou didst build thine arched place at the head of every way, and make thy high place in every street! Thou wast not like a harlot, who scoffeth at her hire,
32 Kom oana mutan su lungse orek kosro yurin mukul saya, ac tia lungse oan yurin mukul tumal sifacna.
but as an adulterous wife, that taketh strangers instead of her husband.
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.
To all women that commit fornication men give a reward; but thou gavest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hiredst them to come to thee from every side to commit fornication with thee.
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.”
Thou wast the reverse of other women in thy fornications. None followed after thee to commit fornication, but thou gavest the reward, and no reward was given thee, —therefore thou wast the reverse.
35 Jerusalem, kom mutan kosro se! Inge, lohng ma LEUM GOD El fahk uh.
Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of Jehovah!
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 saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thy treasure was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered for fornication before thy lovers, and all thine abominable idols, and because of the blood of thy children, which thou didst give to 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, to whom thou wast pleasing, all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated, I will gather them against thee round about, and will uncover thy nakedness to 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 women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged, and I will cause thy blood to flow in 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 give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine arched place, and break down thy high places. They shall also strip thee of thy clothes, 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.
They shall also bring up a company against thee, 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 thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women; and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou shalt give hire no more.
42 Ouinge kasrkusrak luk ac safla, ac nga fah inse misla. Nga fah tia sifil kasrkusrak, ac tia sifilpa lemta.
So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, 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 thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast raged against me in all these things, therefore I also will recompense thy way upon thy head, saith the Lord Jehovah, so that thou shalt not commit this wickedness in addition to all thy abominations.
44 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Jerusalem, mwet uh ac fahk soakas se inge keim: ‘Tulik mutan se ac kwa nina kial.’
Behold, all they that use proverbs shall utter this proverb concerning thee: “As the mother, so the 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 the daughter of thy mother, that loathed her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, that loathed their husbands and their children; your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
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 thine elder sister is Samaria, 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 thou hast not walked in their ways, nor done according to their abominations: that was disdained by you, as a very little thing; thou hast been 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 Jehovah, Sodom, thy sister, hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and 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 Sodom, thy sister: in pride, superabundance, and careless ease did she live, she and her daughters, and the hand of the poor and needy she did not strengthen;
50 Elos inse fulat ac likkeke ac oru ma nga srunga, pwanang nga kunauselosla, oana kom etu.
and they were haughty, and committed abomination before me; therefore I took them away when I saw it.
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.
Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all thine 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.”
Now, therefore, bear thou thy shame, to which thou hast condemned thy sisters, since by thy sins which thou hast committed, more abominable than they, they are more righteous than thou. Yea, be thou confounded and bear thy shame, in that 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.
Yet I will bring them back from their captivity, even Sodom and her daughters from their captivity, and Samaria and her daughters from their captivity; thee also will I bring back from thy captivity 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.
that thou mayst bear thy shame, and mayst be confounded on account of all which thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort to 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 estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, and thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.
56 Ya kom tuh tia orek aksruksruk ke acn Sodom in pacl kom inse fulat,
And yet Sodom, thy sister, was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day 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 thy wickedness was discovered, as in the time of thy reproach from the daughters of Syria, and from all that were round about her, and from the daughters of the Philistines, who despised thee round about.
58 Kom ac fah keok ke ouiya fohkfok ac srungayuk ma kom orala.” LEUM GOD pa fahk ma inge.
Thy wickedness and thine abominations must thou now bear, saith the Lord Jehovah.
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 saith the Lord Jehovah: I will do to thee as thou hast done, who hast despised the oath and hast broken 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.
But I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish with 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.
Then shalt thou remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger, and I shall give them to thee for daughters, but not by thy observance of thy covenant.
62 Nga ac aksasuyela wuleang luk yurum, ac kom fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.
But I will establish my covenant with thee, and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah;
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.
that thou mayst remember and be confounded, and not open thy mouth any more for shame, when I forgive thee all which thou hast done, saith the Lord Jehovah.
