< Ezekiel 2 >

1 Pusra sac fahk mu, “Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, tuyuk. Nga lungse kaskas nu sum.”
“Stand up, son of man, because I want to talk to you,” he said to me.
2 Ke pusra sac srakna kaskas, ngun lun God ilyak nu in nga ac tulokinyuyak, ac nga lohng pusra sac sifil fahk,
As he spoke to me, the Spirit entered me and had me stand up. I listened to him speaking to me.
3 “Mwet sukawil, nga ac supwekomla nu yurin mwet Israel. Elos lainyu ac forla likiyu. Elos srakna lainyu oana papa matu tumalos tuh oru.
“Son of man,” he told me, “I'm sending you to the people of Israel, a disobedient nation that has rebelled against me. They and their forefathers have continued to rebel against me, even up to today.
4 Elos likkeke ac tiana akfulatyeyu, ouinge nga supwekomla in fahkang nu selos ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk nu selos.
They are pig-headed; they are hard-hearted children. I am sending you to tell them that this is what the Lord God says.
5 Elos finne lohng kom ku tia, elos ac etu lah oasr sie mwet palu muta inmasrlolos.
Whether they listen or not—for they are a rebellious people—they will realize that a prophet has come to them.
6 “A kom, mwet sukawil moul la, enenu na kom in tia sangeng selos ku ke kutena ma elos ac fahk. Elos ac lain kom ac srungakom. Ac fah oana kom in muta inmasrlon scorpion uh. Ne ouinge, nikmet sangeng sin mwet likkeke inge, ku ke kutena ma elos ac fahk an.
Son of man, don't be afraid of them or what they say. You don't need to be afraid even though you're surrounded by brambles and thorns, even though you live among scorpions. Don't be afraid of what they say or be discouraged by the way they look at you, even though they are a rebellious family.
7 Fahkang nu selos ma nukewa nga sapkin kom in fahk, elos finne lohng ku tia. Esam na lah elos mwet lungse alein.
Just tell them what I say, whether they listen or not, because they're rebels.
8 “Kom, mwet sukawil, lohng ma nga ac fahk nu sum uh. Nimet lainyu oana elos. Oalngelik oalum ac kang ma nga ac sot nu sum uh.”
As for you, son of man, pay attention to what I tell you. Don't be rebellious like those rebellious people. Open your mouth and eat what I'm about to give you.”
9 Nga liye lac po kokome nu sik ac sruok sie book limlim.
I looked up and saw a hand stretched out to me holding a scroll.
10 Na pao sac asroelik book limlim sac, ac nga liye lah oasr sim lac lac — kas in asor, tung ac wela pa simla kac.
He spread it out in front of me, and there written on both the front and back were words of grief, mourning, and tragedy.
