Ezekiel 22
1 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
And 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.
“And you, son of man, should you not judge, should you not judge the city of blood?
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 you shall reveal to her all her abominations. And you shall say: Thus says the Lord God: This is the city which sheds blood in her midst, so that her time may come, and which has made idols against herself, so that she may be defiled.
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 have offended by your blood, which you shed from yourself. And you have been defiled by your idols which you yourself made. And you have caused your days to approach, and you have brought on the time of your years. Because of this, I have made you a disgrace to the Gentiles, and a derision to all the lands.
5 Mutunfacl su apkuran ac oayapa su loessula ac isrun kom ke sripen kom tia moul ye ma sap.
Those that are near and those that are far from you will triumph over you. You are filthy, infamous, great in destruction.
6 Mwet kol lun Israel nukewa lulalfongi ke ku lalos sifacna ac orek akmas.
Behold, the leaders of Israel have each used his arm to shed blood within you.
7 Wangin mwet in siti uh sunakin papa ac nina kialos. Elos orek kutasrik nu sin mwetsac, ac aklalfonye katinmas ac tulik mukaimtal.
They have abused father and mother within you. The new arrival has been oppressed in your midst. They have grieved the orphan and the widow among you.
8 Elos tia akfulatye acn mutal, ac tia pac karinganang len Sabbath.
You have spurned my sanctuaries, and you have defiled 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.
Maligning men were within you, in order to shed blood, and they have eaten upon the mountains within you. They have worked wickedness in your midst.
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.
They have uncovered the nakedness of their father within you. They have debased the uncleanness of the menstruous woman within you.
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.
And each one has committed abomination with the wife of his neighbor. And the father-in-law has heinously defiled his daughter-in-law. The brother has oppressed his sister, the daughter of his father, within you.
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.
They have accepted bribes among you to shed blood. You have received usury and superabundance, and in avarice you have oppressed your neighbors. And you have forgotten me, says the Lord God.
13 “Nga fah pasolya pouk in kasrkusrak luk ke sripen pisrapasr ac akmas lom uh.
Behold, I have clapped my hands over your avarice, which you have worked, and over the blood that has been 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.
How can your heart endure, or your hands prevail, in the days that I will bring upon 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.
And I will disperse you among the nations, and I will scatter you among the lands, and I will cause your uncleanness to fade away from you.
16 Ouinge mutunfacl saya ac fah tia sifil akfulatye kom, ac kom ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.”
And I will possess you in the sight of the Gentiles. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”
17 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
And 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 like dross to me. All these are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead in the midst of the furnace; they have become like 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
Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since you have all turned into dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you together in the midst of 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 they gather silver, and brass, and tin, and iron, and lead in the midst of the furnace, so that I may kindle in it a fire to melt it. So will I gather you together in my fury and in my wrath, and I will be quieted, and I will melt you down.
21 Aok, nga fah oraloseni nu Jerusalem, tanak sie e ah yalos, ac oru elos in kofelik ke kasrukusrak luk.
And I will gather you together, and I will burn you in the fire of my fury, and you will be melted in its midst.
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.”
Just as silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so will you be in its midst. And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have poured out my indignation 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: You are a land unclean and not rained upon, in the day of fury.
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.
There is a conspiracy of prophets in her midst. Like a lion, roaring and seizing the prey, they have devoured souls. They have taken riches and a price. They have multiplied widows in her midst.
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 have despised my law, and they have defiled my sanctuaries. They have held no distinction between holy and profane. And they have not understood the difference between defiled and clean. And they have averted their eyes from my Sabbaths. And I was profaned in their midst.
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 leaders in her midst are like wolves seizing the prey: to shed blood, and to perish souls, and to continually pursue profit with avarice.
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.
And her prophets have covered them without tempering the mortar, seeing emptiness, and divining lies for them, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ 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 oppressed with slander and have seized with violence. They have afflicted the needy and the poor, and they have oppressed the new arrival by accusations without judgment.
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.
And I sought among them for a man who might set up a hedge, and stand in the gap before me on behalf of the land, so that I might not destroy it; and 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.
And so I poured out my indignation upon them; in the fire of my wrath I consumed them. I have rendered their own way upon their head, says the Lord God.”
