Ezekiel 21

1 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ac fahk,

And there is a word of Jehovah 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 unto Jerusalem, and prophesy unto the holy places, and prophesy unto the ground 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 thou hast said unto the ground of Israel: Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against thee, And have brought out My sword from its scabbard, And have cut off from thee righteous and wicked.

4 Nga ac orekmakin cutlass nutik uh in uni mwet nukewa, eir lac nwe epang.

Because that I have cut off from thee righteous and wicked, Therefore go out doth My sword from its scabbard, Unto all flesh, from south to north.

5 Mwet nukewa fah etu lah nga, LEUM GOD, fwauk tari cutlass nutik, ac nga fah tia sifil folokonang nu yen se.

And known have all flesh that I, Jehovah, Have brought out My sword from its scabbard, It doth not turn back any more.

6 “Kom, mwet sukawil, sao ac tung ke asor lulap. Sasao yen mwet nukewa ac ku in liye kom we.

And thou, son of man, sigh with breaking of loins, yea, with bitterness thou dost 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 hath come to pass, when they say unto thee, For what art thou sighing? that thou hast said: Because of the report, for it is coming, And melted hath every heart, And feeble hath been all hands, And weak is every spirit, And all knees go — waters, Lo, it is coming, yea, it hath been, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'

8 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,

And there is a word of Jehovah 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 thou hast said, Thus said Jehovah, say: A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also polished.

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.

So as to slaughter a slaughter it is sharpened. So as to have brightness it is polished, Desire hath rejoiced the sceptre of my son, It is despising every tree.

11 Cutlass uh akmusrala tari Ac akola in orekmakinyuk. Temyukla ac akmusrala Tuh in oan inpoun sie mwet akmas.

And he giveth it for polishing, For laying hold of by the hand. It is sharpened — the sword — and polished, To give it into the hand of a 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 howl, son of man, For it hath been among My people, It [is] among all the princes of Israel, Cast unto the sword have been My people. Therefore strike on thy thigh,

13 Nga srike mwet luk inge Ac elos fin srunga auliyak, Na ma inge nukewa ac sikyak nu selos.

Because [it is] a trier, And what if even the sceptre it is despising? It shall not be, an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

14 “Inge, mwet sukawil, palye ac paspas, na cutlass sac ac pakpuk na pakpuk. Cutlass sac mwe uniya, mwe aksangeng, ac mwe fakfuk.

And thou, son of man, prophesy, And smite hand on hand, And bent is the sword a third time, The sword of the wounded! It [is] the sword of the wounded — the great one, That is entering the inner chamber to them.

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.

To melt the heart, and to multiply the ruins, By all their gates I have set the point of a sword. Ah, it is made for brightness, Wrapped up for slaughter.

16 Kom, cutlass kosroh, pakpuk nu layot ac nu lasa. Pakpuk nu acn nukewa kom for we.

Take possession of the right, place thyself at the left, Whither thy face is appointed.

17 Nga fah paspas pac, na kasrkusrak luk ac fah wanginla. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”

And I also, I smite My hand on my hand, And have caused My fury to rest; I, Jehovah, have spoken.'

18 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik

And there is a word of Jehovah 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.

'And thou, son of man, appoint for thee two ways, for the coming in of the sword of the king of Babylon; from one land they come forth, both of them, and a station prepare thou, at the top of the way of the city prepare [it].

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.

A way appoint for the coming of the sword, Unto Rabbath of the sons of Ammon, And to Judah, in Jerusalem — the fenced.

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 stood hath the king of Babylon at the head of the way, At the top of the two ways, to use divination, He hath moved lightly with the arrows, He hath asked at the teraphim, He hath looked on 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.

At his right hath been the divination — Jerusalem, To place battering-rams, To open the mouth with slaughter, To lift up a voice with shouting, To place battering-rams against the gates, To pour out a mount, to build a fortification.

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 hath been to them as a false divination in their eyes, Who have sworn oaths to them, And he is causing iniquity to be remembered to be caught.

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 said the Lord Jehovah: Because of your causing your iniquity to be remembered, In your transgressions being revealed, For your sins being seen, in all your doings, Because of your being remembered, By the hand ye are caught.

25 “Kom su mwet kol koluk ac sesuwos lun Israel, len in kaiyuk safla lom pa ac tuku inge.

And thou, wounded, wicked one, Prince of Israel, whose day hath 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 said the Lord Jehovah: Turn aside the mitre, and bear away the crown, This — not this — the low make high, And the high make low.

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.

An overturn, overturn, overturn, I make it, Also this hath not been till the coming of Him, Whose [is] the judgment, and I have given it.

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 thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah concerning the sons of Ammon, and concerning their reproach: and thou hast said: A sword, a sword, open for slaughter, Polished to the utmost for brightness!

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.

In the seeing for thee of a vain thing, In the divining for thee of a lie, To put thee on the necks of the wounded of the wicked, whose day hath 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.

Turn [it] back unto its scabbard, In the place where thou wast produced, In the land of thy birth I do 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 have poured on thee Mine indignation, With fire of My wrath I blow against thee, And have given thee into the hand of brutish men — artificers of destruction.

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.

To the fire thou art for fuel, Thy blood is in the midst of the land, Thou art not remembered, For I, Jehovah, have spoken!'
