Ezekiel 22
1 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, ya kom akola in nununku siti se inge su sesseslana ke mwet akmas? Oru in arulana kalem sel ma srungayuk nukewa ma el orala.
“As for you, son of man, will you judge her? Will you pass judgment on the city of bloodshed? Then confront her with all her abominations
3 Fahkang nu sin siti sac ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk inge: Ke sripen arulana pus mwet lom sifacna su kom uniya, ac oayapa kom akfohkfokyekomla ke kom alu nu ke ma sruloala, ouinge pacl lom apkuranme.
and tell her that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘O city who brings her own doom by shedding blood within her walls and making idols to defile herself,
4 Oasr mwatum ke akmas kom orala inge, ac kom fohkfokla ke sripen ma sruloala su kom orala. Ke ma inge len se srisrngiyuki nu sum ac tuku, na safla pacl lom! Pa inge sripa sis nga lela tuh mwet in facl saya uh in aksruksrukye kom, ac mutunfacl nukewa in isrun kom.
you are guilty of the blood you have shed, and you are defiled by the idols you have made. You have brought your days to a close and have come to the end of your years. Therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations and a mockery to all the lands.
5 Mutunfacl su apkuran ac oayapa su loessula ac isrun kom ke sripen kom tia moul ye ma sap.
Those near and far will mock you, O infamous city, full of turmoil.
6 Mwet kol lun Israel nukewa lulalfongi ke ku lalos sifacna ac orek akmas.
See how every prince of Israel within you has used his power to shed blood.
7 Wangin mwet in siti uh sunakin papa ac nina kialos. Elos orek kutasrik nu sin mwetsac, ac aklalfonye katinmas ac tulik mukaimtal.
Father and mother are treated with contempt. Within your walls the foreign resident is exploited, the fatherless and the widow are oppressed.
8 Elos tia akfulatye acn mutal, ac tia pac karinganang len Sabbath.
You have despised My holy things and profaned My Sabbaths.
9 Kutu sin mwet lom uh fahk kas kikiap ke mwet ngia in pwanang in anwuki elos. Kutu selos kang mwe mongo ma kisala nu ke ma sruloala. Kutu mwet uh tia tui in oru lung koluk lalos.
Among you are slanderous men bent on bloodshed; within you are those who eat on the mountain shrines and commit acts of indecency.
10 Kutu selos oan yurin mutan kien papa tumalos. Kutu pac selos sifacna sruinku ac orek kosro nu sin mutan ke pacl elos musen malem.
In you they have uncovered the nakedness of their fathers; in you they violate women during their menstrual impurity.
11 Kutu mwet uh orek kosro yurin mutan kien siena mukul, ac kutu nu sin mutan kien wen natulos, ku mutan wialos ke siena nina.
One man commits an abomination with his neighbor’s wife; another wickedly defiles his daughter-in-law; and yet another violates his sister, his own father’s daughter.
12 Kutu sin mwet lom uh moul nu se in orek akmas. Kutu akyokye lupan kapak elos eis sin mwet Israel wialos su ngusr mani selos, ac elos kasrupi ke ma laesla inge. Elos mulkinyula.” LEUM GOD Fulatlana pa fahk ma inge.
In you they take bribes to shed blood. You engage in usury, take excess interest, and extort your neighbors. But Me you have forgotten, declares the Lord GOD.
13 “Nga fah pasolya pouk in kasrkusrak luk ke sripen pisrapasr ac akmas lom uh.
Now look, I strike My hands together against your unjust gain and against the blood you have shed in your midst.
14 Nga fin filiya pouk fom, ya kom nunku mu ac oasr pulaik lom, ku kom ac ku in sifil srukak poum? Tia ku! Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge, ac nga ac oru oana ma nga fahk.
Will your courage endure or your hands be strong in the day I deal with you? I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will act.
15 Nga ac fah akfahsryelik mwet lom nu in mutunfacl nukewa, ac tulokinya orekma koluk lom uh.
I will disperse you among the nations and scatter you throughout the lands; I will purge your uncleanness.
16 Ouinge mutunfacl saya ac fah tia sifil akfulatye kom, ac kom ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.”
And when you have defiled yourself in the eyes of the nations, then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
17 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
18 “Mwet sukawil, wanginla sripen mwet Israel nu sik. Elos oana pukun osra — copper, tin, iron, ac lead — tukun kofelik silver uh liki eot ma manman ke sie funyu.
“Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to Me. All of them are copper, tin, iron, and lead inside the furnace; they are but the dross of silver.
19 Ke ma inge, nga LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk nu selos lah wangin sripalos nu sik oapana osra inge. Nga ac fah oraloseni nukewa nu in acn Jerusalem
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because all of you have become dross, behold, I will gather you into Jerusalem.
20 oana ke eot ma oasr silver, copper, iron, lead ac tin loac uh orekeni in likliki in sie funyu. Fulen kasrkusrak luk ac fah oru elos in kofelik, oana fulen e uh oru eot uh in kofelik.
Just as one gathers silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin into the furnace to melt with a fiery blast, so I will gather you in My anger and wrath, leave you there, and melt you.
21 Aok, nga fah oraloseni nu Jerusalem, tanak sie e ah yalos, ac oru elos in kofelik ke kasrukusrak luk.
Yes, I will gather you together and blow on you with the fire of My wrath, and you will be melted within the city.
22 Elos fah kofelik in Jerusalem oana ke silver uh kofelik in funyu uh, na elos fah etu lah elos oan ye kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD.”
As silver is melted in a furnace, so you will be melted within the city. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have poured out My wrath upon you.’”
23 LEUM GOD El sifil kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
24 “Mwet sukawil, fahk nu sin mwet Israel lah facl selos uh tiana mutal. Ke ma inge nga ac akkeokye ke kasrkusrak luk.
“Son of man, say to her, ‘In the day of indignation, you are a land that has not been cleansed, upon which no rain has fallen.’
25 Mwet kol inge elos oana lion ngutngut ma sreya monin kosro ma elos uniya uh. Mwet kol elos uniya mukul puspis, na elos eisla mani ac acn lalos. Ke akmas lalos inge elos akpusye katinmas uh.
The conspiracy of the princes in her midst is like a roaring lion tearing its prey. They devour the people, seize the treasures and precious things, and multiply the widows within her.
26 Mwet tol uh kunaus ma sap luk ac wangin sunak lalos ke ma su mutal. Elos tia akilen inmasrlon ma mutal ac ma tia mutal. Elos tia luti lah mea inmasrlon ma nasnas ac ma su tia nasnas, ac elos pilesru len Sabbath. Ke sripa inge, mwet Israel elos tia sunakinyu.
Her priests do violence to My law and profane My holy things. They make no distinction between the holy and the common, and they fail to distinguish between the clean and the unclean. They disregard My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.
27 Mwet wal fulat lun Israel elos oana kosro wolf ma seya kosro ma elos uniya uh. Elos orek akmas elos in mau kasrupi.
Her officials within her are like wolves tearing their prey, shedding blood, and destroying lives for dishonest gain.
28 Mwet palu elos okanla ma koluk inge oana ke mwet uh ac sang fasr sruloala sinka ke lohm uh in okanla acn munas kac. Aruruma elos liye uh tia pwaye, kas in palu lalos kikiap. Elos fahk mu elos tafu kas lun LEUM GOD Fulatlana, tuh nga, LEUM GOD, tiana kaskas nu selos.
Her prophets whitewash these deeds by false visions and lying divinations, saying, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says,’ when the LORD has not spoken.
29 Mwet kasrup elos kutasrik ac pisrapasr. Elos oru koluk nu sin mwet sukasrup, ac aklalfonye mwetsac uh.
The people of the land have practiced extortion and committed robbery. They have oppressed the poor and needy and have exploited the foreign resident without justice.
30 Nga suk sie mwet ma ac ku in musaela pot uh, in tu ke acn ma pot uh raki we, ac in loango acn uh ke kasrkusrak luk apkuran in kunausla. Tusruktu wanginna mwet nga konauk.
I searched for a man among them to repair the wall and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, so that I should not destroy it. But I found no one.
31 Ke ma inge nga ac okoala kasrkusrak luk nu faclos, ac kunauselosla oana sie e ke ma elos orala.” LEUM GOD Fulatlana pa fahk ma inge.
So I have poured out My indignation upon them and consumed them with the fire of My fury. I have brought their ways down upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.”
