Ezekiel 21
1 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
2 “Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, fahkak kas in lain Jerusalem ac lain yen mwet uh alu we. Sang kas in sensenkakin facl Israel
'Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and preach toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the land of Israel;
3 lah nga, LEUM GOD, fahk mu: ‘Nga mwet lokoalok lowos. Nga ac fwauk cutlass nutik ac unikowosi nukewa, mwet wo ac mwet koluk oana sie.
and say to the land of Israel: Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth My sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.
4 Nga ac orekmakin cutlass nutik uh in uni mwet nukewa, eir lac nwe epang.
Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall My sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north;
5 Mwet nukewa fah etu lah nga, LEUM GOD, fwauk tari cutlass nutik, ac nga fah tia sifil folokonang nu yen se.
and all flesh shall know that I the LORD have drawn forth My sword out of its sheath; it shall not return any more.
6 “Kom, mwet sukawil, sao ac tung ke asor lulap. Sasao yen mwet nukewa ac ku in liye kom we.
Sigh therefore, thou son of man; with the breaking of thy loins and with bitterness shalt thou sigh before their eyes.
7 Ke elos siyuk sum lah efu kom ku tung, fahk nu selos lah ma ke sripen pweng su tuku inge. Ke pacl se ac tuku, insialos ac arulana sangeng, ac paolos ac atla ac uli, ac kuiyalos ac munasla, ac nialos ac rarrar. Pacl sac pa inge.” LEUM GOD Fulatlana pa fahk ma inge.
And it shall be, when they say unto thee: Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt say: Because of the tidings, for it cometh; and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be slack, and every spirit shall be faint, and all knees shall drip with water; behold, it cometh, and it shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.'
8 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
9 “Mwet sukawil, palye ac fahk nu sin mwet uh lah mea nga, LEUM GOD, fahk inge: Sie cutlass, aok sie cutlass pa twetela ac aksaromromyeyukla.
'Son of man, prophesy, and say: Thus saith the LORD: Say: A sword, a sword, it is sharpened, and also furbished:
10 Temyukla in uniya, Aksaromromyeyukla in sarmelik oana sarom uh. Na ac fah wangin enganak yurin mwet luk Mweyen elos pilesru kas in sensen nukewa, oayapa kas in kai.
It is sharpened that it may make a sore slaughter, it is furbished that it may glitter — or shall we make mirth? — against the rod of My son, contemning every tree.
11 Cutlass uh akmusrala tari Ac akola in orekmakinyuk. Temyukla ac akmusrala Tuh in oan inpoun sie mwet akmas.
And it is given to be furbished, that it may be handled; the sword, it is sharpened, yea, it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.
12 Mwet sukawil, wowoyak ke keok; Cutlass se inge ma ac lain mwet luk Oayapa mwet kol nukewa lun mwet Israel. Elos ac anwuki Wi mwet luk nukewa. Puokya iniwom ke supwarla ac wanginla finsrak!
Cry and wail, son of man; for it is upon My people, it is upon all the princes of Israel; they are thrust down to the sword with My people; smite therefore upon thy thigh.
13 Nga srike mwet luk inge Ac elos fin srunga auliyak, Na ma inge nukewa ac sikyak nu selos.
For there is a trial; and what if it contemn even the rod? It shall be no more, saith the Lord GOD.
14 “Inge, mwet sukawil, palye ac paspas, na cutlass sac ac pakpuk na pakpuk. Cutlass sac mwe uniya, mwe aksangeng, ac mwe fakfuk.
Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thy hands together; and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of those to be slain; it is the sword of the great one that is to be slain, which compasseth them about.
15 Ac oru mwet luk in tila pulaik, ac elos ac fahsr tukulkul. Nga aksangengye siti selos ke sie cutlass sarmelik oana sie sarom, su akola in uniya mwet.
I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied; ah! it is made glittering, it is sharpened for slaughter.
16 Kom, cutlass kosroh, pakpuk nu layot ac nu lasa. Pakpuk nu acn nukewa kom for we.
Go thee one way to the right, or direct thyself to the left; whither is thy face set?
17 Nga fah paspas pac, na kasrkusrak luk ac fah wanginla. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
I will also smite My hands together, and I will satisfy My fury; I the LORD have spoken it.'
18 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
19 ac fahk, “Mwet sukawil, akilenya lukwa inkanek ma tokosra Babylonia elan ku in ut we wi cutlass natul. Mutaweyen inkanek lukwa inge in tuku ke mutunfacl sefanna. Tulokunak sie akul an yen ma inkanek an sengelik we.
'Now, thou son of man, make thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come; they twain shall come forth out of one land; and mark a signpost, mark it clear at the head of the way to the city.
20 Soko in akkalemye nu sin tokosra lah ma ac som nu Rabbah, siti lun mwet Ammon. Ac ma soko ngia, ma ac som nu Judah, nu ke Jerusalem, siti se ma akkeyeyukla ke pot ku.
Thou shalt make a way, that the sword may come to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah in Jerusalem the fortified.
21 Tokosra lun acn Babylonia el ac tu ke akul ke yen inkanek ah sengelik we. In konauk acn el ac ut we, el usruk sukan pisr natul, na el siyuk kasru sin ma sruloala lal; na el ac lohang nu ke esan kosro soko ma kisakinyukla.
For the king of Babylon standeth at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination; he shaketh the arrows to and fro, he inquireth of the teraphim, he looketh in the liver.
22 Inge, lac po layot sel sruok sukan pisr ma akilenya acn ‘Jerusalem’! Ma se inge akkalemye nu sel elan som ac akola polosak mwe fokfok mutunpot uh, na sala ke sasa lun mweun, ac likiya mwe fokfok mutunpot uh sisken pot ah, ac elosak fohk sisken pot uh, ac pukpuk laf.
In his right hand is the lot Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth for the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounds, to build forts.
23 Mwet Jerusalem ac tia lulalfongi ma inge mweyen elos orala tari sie wuleang inmasrlolos. Tusruktu kas in palu inge akesmakyalos ke ma koluk lalos, ac akkalemye nu selos lah elos ac fah sruoh.
And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, who have weeks upon weeks! but it bringeth iniquity to remembrance, that they may be taken.
24 Pa inge ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk uh: Ma koluk lowos kalem sin mwet e nukewa, ac elos etu lupan ma koluk lowos uh. Kalem ke mukuikui nukewa lowos, na nga fah eiskowosyang nu inpoun mwet lokoalok lowos.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that your sins do appear in all your doings; because that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.
25 “Kom su mwet kol koluk ac sesuwos lun Israel, len in kaiyuk safla lom pa ac tuku inge.
And thou, O wicked one, that art to be slain, the prince of Israel, whose day is come, in the time of the iniquity of the end;
26 Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge. Eisya tefuro lom ac susu lom an. Wangin ma ac fah sifil oana meet. Akleumye mwet pusisel, ac akpusiselye mwet leum.
thus saith the Lord GOD: The mitre shall be removed, and the crown taken off; this shall be no more the same: that which is low shall be exalted, and that which is high abased.
27 Musalla! Musalla! Aok, nga fah oru tuh siti sac in musalla. Tusruktu ac fah tia sikyak nwe ke pacl se mwet se ma nga sulela el tuku in kalyei siti uh. El pa nga fah sang siti uh nu se.
A ruin, a ruin, a ruin, will I make it; this also shall be no more, until he come whose right it is, and I will give it him.
28 “Mwet sukawil, palye ac fahkak ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk nu sin mwet Ammon, su fahk kas koluk lain mwet Israel. Fahk nu selos: ‘Sie cutlass pa akola in kunausla; Akmusrala tari in uniya, in sarmelik oana sarom uh.
And thou, son of man, prophesy, and say: Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their taunt; and say thou: O sword, O sword keen-edged, furbished for the slaughter, to the uttermost, because of the glitterings;
29 Aruruma kowos liye uh tia pwaye, ac ma kowos motko mu ac sikyak uh ma kikiap. Kowos mwet sesuwos ac koluklana. Len in kalya safla lowos ac tuku. Cutlass uh akola in twacla inkwawowos.
While they see falsehood unto thee, while they divine lies unto thee, to lay thee upon the necks of the wicked that are to be slain, whose day is come, in the time of the iniquity of the end!
30 “‘Filiya cutlass an! Nga ac nununkekowos in acn kowos orekla we, in facl su kowos isusla we.
Cause it to return into its sheath! — In the place where thou wast created, in the land of thine origin, will I judge thee.
31 Kowos ac pula kasrkusrak luk ke nga ac fuhleot nu fowos oana sie e firir. Ac nga ac eiskowosyang nu inpoun mwet sulallal, su arulana etu in kunaus mau.
And I will pour out My indignation upon thee, I will blow upon thee with the fire of My wrath; and I will deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, skilful to destroy.
32 Kowos ac fah isisyak ke e. Srah keiwos ac fah sororla fin facl suwos sifacna, ac wangin sie mwet ac esam kowos.’” LEUM GOD pa fahk ma inge.
Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land, thou shalt be no more remembered; for I the LORD have spoken it.'
