Ezekiel 23
1 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “Son of man,
2 “Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, sie pacl ah oasr tamtael luo.
Two women were daughters of one mother,
3 Ke pacl se elos fusr ac muta in acn Egypt elos sa in sun mukul, ac ekla nu ke mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lalos.
And they go whoring in Egypt, They have gone whoring in their youth, There they have bruised their breasts, And there they have dealt with the loves of their virginity.
4 Inen ma se ma matu ah pa Oholah, (el aolla acn Samaria), ac inen ma se ma srik pa Oholibah (el aol acn Jerusalem). Nga payukyak seltal kewa ac oasr tulik nutik seltal kewa.
And their names [are] Aholah the older, And Aholibah her sister, And they are Mine, and bear sons and daughters. As for their names—Samaria [is] Aholah, And Jerusalem [is] Aholibah.
5 Oholah el nwe payuk nu sik, a el srakna orek kosro, ac srakna ke suk mukul ma el pwar se sin mwet Assyria.
And Aholah goes whoring under Me, and she lusts on her lovers, on the neighboring Assyrians,
6 Elos mwet mweun su nukum nuknuk sroninmutuk, mwet leum, ac yohk wal lalos ke mweun uh. Elos nukewa mwet oasku su kasrusr fin horse.
Clothed with blue—governors and prefects, All of them desirable young men, Horsemen, riding on horses,
7 Mutan sac sie mutan kosro nu sin mwet leum lun un mwet mweun Assyria, ac lung koluk lal oru elan akfohkfokyal sifacna ke alu nu ke ma sruloala.
And she gives her whoredoms on them, The choice of the sons of Asshur, All of them—even all on whom she lusted, She has been defiled by all their idols.
8 El tafwelana moul in kosro lal su el tuh mutawauk oru in acn Egypt, acn se el tuh mutawauk in eteya mwet we. Ke na pacl ma el srakna mutan fusr, mukul uh mutawauk in oan yorol ac oral oana sie mutan kosro.
And she has not forsaken her whoredoms out of Egypt, For with her they lay in her youth, And they dealt with the loves of her virginity, And they pour out their whoredoms on her.
9 Ouinge nga tuh eisalang nu sin mukul ma el lung koluk nu se in acn Assyria, su el arulana pwar selos.
Therefore I have given her into the hand of her lovers, Into the hand of sons of Asshur on whom she lusted.
10 Elos sarukulla el koflufol. Elos sruokya tulik mukul ac tulik mutan natul, na elos unilya ke cutlass. Mutan in acn nukewa elos lesrikel ke ma sikyak nu sel inge.
They have uncovered her nakedness, They have taken her sons and her daughters, And they have slain her by sword, And she is a name for women, And they have done judgments with her.
11 Tamtael wial ah, Oholibah, el ne liye ma inge, el koluk yohk lukel Oholah ke moul in kosro lal uh.
And her sister Aholibah sees, And she makes her unhealthy love more corrupt than she, And her whoredoms than the whoredoms of her sister.
12 El wi pac arulana pwar in orek ma koluk nu sin mwet leum lun Assyria ac mwet mweun fulat su nukum nuknuk in mweun, oayapa mwet mweun su kasrusr fin horse — mukul inge kewa mukul fusr ac oasku lumahlos.
She has lusted on sons of Asshur, Governors and prefects, Neighboring ones—clothed in perfection, Horsemen, riding on horses, All of them desirable young men.
13 Nga liye lah moul lal Oholibah arulana fohkfok. Tamtael se ma fusr inge koluk oana el su matu.
And I see that she has been defiled, One way [is] to them both.
14 Na el oru moul in kosro lal inge arulana alukela. El liye petsa ke mukul ma sroalla ke sinka in lohm uh ke tuhn srusra,
And she adds to her whoredoms, And she sees men carved on the wall, Pictures of Chaldeans, carved with vermillion,
15 wi pel su losya infulwalos ac mwe lohl na kato ma oan fin sifalos. Petsa inge nukewa petsaiyen leum lun mwet mweun Babylonia, su acn selos uh pa Chaldea.
Girded with a girdle on their loins, Dyed attire spread out on their heads, The appearance of rulers—all of them, The likeness of sons of Babylon, Chaldea is the land of their birth.
16 Ke el liye petsa inge, lung koluk lal tuyang nu sel kaclos, ac el supwala mwet tutafpo in us kas lal nu yorolos in acn Babylonia.
And she lusts on them at the sight of her eyes, And sends messengers to them, to Chaldea.
17 Ac mukul Babylonia inge tuku oan yorol, ac elos akkolukyalla nwe ke na el srungalosla.
And sons of Babylon come in to her, To the bed of loves, And they defile her with their whoredoms, And she is defiled with them, And her soul is alienated from them.
18 El ikasulak ye mutun mwet uh, ac akkalemye lah el sie mutan kosro. Na nga arulana kasrkusrak sel, oana ke nga tuh kasrkusrak sin tamtael se wial ah.
And she reveals her whoredoms, And she reveals her nakedness, And My soul is alienated from off her, As My soul was alienated from off her sister.
19 Elahn kosro lal ah yokelik liki na meet ah, ke el sifil oru lumah fohkfok ma el tuh oru ke el mutan fusr ac kukakin manol in acn Egypt.
And she multiplies her whoredoms, To remember the days of her youth, When she went whoring in the land of Egypt.
20 Arulana yokla lung koluk lal nu sin mukul ma lungse orekma koluk uh ac moul lalos oana donkey mukul ku horse mukul uh.” (
And she lusts on their lovers, Whose flesh [is] the flesh of donkeys, And the emission of horses—their emission.
21 Oholibah, ya kom lungse sifil kalweni moul koluk su kom tuh moulkin in facl Egypt, yen ma mukul uh tuh sritalkin titi lom an, ac kom eteya mwet uh we?)
You look after the wickedness of your youth, In dealing out of Egypt your loves, For the sake of the breasts of your youth.
22 “Ke ma inge, Oholibah, pa inge ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, ac fahk nu sum uh: Kom tasak sin mukul ma pwar sum ingan, tuh nga ac fah oru elos in kasrkusrak sum, ac tuku raunikomla.
Therefore, O Aholibah, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am stirring up your lovers against you, From whom your soul has been alienated, And have brought them in against you from all around.
23 Nga fah usani mukul nukewa in acn Babylonia ac Chaldea — mwet Pekod, mwet Shoa, ac mwet Koa, ac mwet Assyria nukewa. Nga ac fah usani nufon mwet leum ac mwet fulat ke mweun su fusr ac oasku, aok mwet na yohk sripalos, ac mwet mweun fulat su kasrusr fin horse uh.
Sons of Babylon, and of all Chaldea, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, All the sons of Asshur with them, Desirable young men, governors and prefects, All of them—rulers and proclaimed ones, All of them riding on horses.
24 Elos ac fah mweuni kom liki acn epang, ac use sie u lulap ke mwet mweun, wi chariot ac wagon in wun kufwa lalos. Elos ac loangeyuk ke mwe loang ac susu osra, na elos ac fah raunikomla. Nga ac fah eiskomyang nu selos, ac elos ac fah nununkekom ke ma sap lalos sifacna.
And they have come in against you, With arms, rider, and wheel, And with an assembly of peoples; Buckler, and shield, and helmet, They set against you all around, And I have set judgment before them, They have judged you in their judgments.
25 Ke sripen nga kasrkusrak sum, nga ac fah lela elos in oru na ma elos lungse oru nu sum ke na kasrkusrak lalos. Elos ac fah pakela infwem ac insrem, ac uniya tulik nutum uh. Aok, elos ac fah eisla wen ac acn nutum liki kom, na elos fah moul na isisyak.
And I have set My jealousy against you, And they have dealt with you in fury, They turn aside your nose and your ears, And your posterity falls by sword, They take away your sons and your daughters, And your posterity is devoured by fire.
26 Elos ac fah sacla nuknuk lom an, ac eisla mwe yun saok nukewa lom.
And they have stripped you of your garments, And have taken your beautiful jewels.
27 Nga fah tulokinya lung koluk lom ac lumah fohkfok nukewa ma kom tuh oru e ke pacl kom muta Egypt ah me. Kom fah tia sifil ngetang nu ke kutena ma sruloala, ku sifil nunku ke acn Egypt.”
And I have caused your wickedness to cease from you, And your whoredoms out of the land of Egypt, And you do not lift up your eyes to them, And you do not remember Egypt again.
28 Pa inge ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk: “Nga ac fah eiskomyang nu sin mwet su kom kwase ac kasrkusrak se.
For thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am giving you into a hand that you have hated, Into a hand from which you were alienated.
29 Na mweyen elos kasrkusrak sum uh, elos ac fah eisla ma nukewa ma kom orekma kac uh, ac oru tuh kom in koflufolla, ac monum ikakelik oana sie mutan kosro. Lung koluk ac elahn kosro lom
And they have dealt with you in hatred, And they have taken all your labor, And they have left you naked and bare, And the nakedness of your whoredoms has been revealed, And the wickedness of your whoredoms.
30 pa pwen ma inge nu sum uh. Kom tuh sie mutan kosro nu sin mutunfacl uh, ac sifacna akfohkfokye kom ke ma sruloala lalos.
To do these things to you, In your going whoring after nations, Because you have been defiled with their idols,
31 Kom fahsrna in falken tamtael se wiom, na pa nga ac sot pac nu sum sie cup in kalya kom in nim.”
You have walked in the way of your sister, And I have given her cup into your hand.
32 LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk, “Kom fah nimnim ke cup lun tamtael wiom; Cup se inge yohk ac loal. Mwet nukewa ac fah aksruksrukye kom ac angon kom; Cup se inge sessesla.
Thus said Lord YHWH: You drink the cup of your sister, The deep and the wide one (You are for laughter and for scorn), Abundant to contain.
33 Ac fah oru kom in keok ac sruhila. Cup se inge mwe aksangeng ac mwe kunausla, Cup se inge ma lun Samaria, tamtael wiom.
You are filled with drunkenness and sorrow, A cup of astonishment and desolation, The cup of your sister Samaria.
34 Kom fah nim nwe ke na lisr, Na ke ipin ma fokelik kac uh Kom fah seya iniwom. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge.”
And you have drunk it, and have drained [it], And you gnaw its earthen ware, And you pluck off your own breasts, For I have spoken, A declaration of Lord YHWH,
35 Pa inge kas ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk uh: “Mweyen kom mulkinyula ac forla likiyu, kom ac fah keok ke sripen lung koluk lom ac ke elahn kosro lom.”
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Because you have forgotten Me, And you cast Me behind your back, Even you also bear your wickedness and your whoredoms.”
36 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Mwet sukawil, ya kom akola in nununkal Oholah ac Oholibah? Akkolukyaltal ac fahk ke orekma koluk ma eltal tuh oru ah.
And YHWH says to me, “Son of man, Do you judge Aholah and Aholibah? Then declare their abominations to them.
37 Eltal tuh orek akmas ac kosro — kosro nu ke ma sruloala, ac akmas ke wen natultal ma eltal uniya, su ac ma nutik. Eltal kisakin wen nutik inge nu ke ma sruloala.
For they have committed adultery, And blood [is] in their hands, They committed adultery with their idols, And also their sons whom they bore to Me, They caused to pass over to them for food.
38 Tia pa ingan mukena ma koluk eltal oru uh. Eltal akfohkfokye Tempul luk, ac aklusrongtenye len Sabbath su nga oakiya.
Again, they have done this to Me, They defiled My sanctuary in that day, And they have defiled My Sabbaths.
39 Len se na ma eltal uniya tulik nutik inge in kisakin nu ke ma sruloala ah, eltal tuku ac akfohkfokye Tempul luk!
And in their slaughtering their sons to their idols They also come into My sanctuary in that day to defile it, And behold, thus they have done in the midst of My house,
40 “Eltal nuna sap na sap in suli mukul in tuku nu yoroltal yen loesla me, ac mwet inge tuku. Tamtael luo inge ac yihla, ac sang mwe yun ac wek saok nu ke manoltal.
And also that they send to men coming from afar, To whom a messenger is sent, And behold, they have come in for whom you have washed, Painted your eyes, and put on adornment.
41 Eltal ac muta fin mwe muta fisrasrsrasr, ac filiya sie tepu ma nwanala ke ma kato ac wo oan ye mutaltal, su ma inge pa ma keng ac oil in olive su nga sang nu seltal.
And you have sat on a couch of honor, And a table arrayed before it, And placed My incense and My oil on it.
42 Pusren mwet mutwata yoroltal inge ku in lohngyuk, ac mwet pus ac tuku oe yen mwesis me nu yoroltal. Elos sang mwe lohlpo nu ke paoltal, ac mwe yun in tefuro nu ke sifaltal.
And the voice of a multitude at ease [is] with her, And Sabeans from the wilderness are brought in to men of the common people, And they put bracelets on their hands, And a beautiful crown on their heads.
43 Ac nga fahk nu sik sifacna mu elos oru nu sin mutan se ma totola ke moul in kosro lal uh, oana elan sie mutan su kukakin manol.
And I say of the worn-out one in adulteries, Now they commit her whoredoms—she also!
44 Elos nuna kalwenina in fahsr nu yurin mutan kosro inge. Elos folok na nu yorol Oholah ac Oholibah, mutan na fohkfok moul la luo inge.
And they come in to her, As the coming in to a whorish woman, So they have come in to Aholah, And to Aholibah—the wicked women.
45 Mwet ma suwohs moul la uh ac nununkalos ke kosro ac akmas, mweyen eltal orek kosro, ac paoltal tuhnla ke srah.”
As for righteous men, they judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, And the judgment of women shedding blood, For they [are] adulteresses, And blood [is] in their hands.
46 Pa inge kas ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk uh: “Use sie un mwet an in aksangengyaltal ac pisrala ma laltal uh.
For thus said Lord YHWH: Bring up an assembly against them, And give them to trembling and to spoiling.
47 Lela un mwet se inge in tanglaltal ac lainultal ke cutlass, uniya tulik natultal, ac esukak lohm seltal uh.
And they have cast the stone of the assembly at them, And cut them with their swords, They slay their sons and their daughters, And they burn their houses with fire.
48 Nga ac fah tulokinya ma koluk in tia sifil orek in acn inge nufon, in oana sie mwe akkalemye nu sin mutan tuh elos in tia orek kosro oana ke mutan luo inge oru ah.
And I have caused wickedness to cease from the land, And all the women have been instructed, And they do not do according to your wickedness.
49 Na komtal, tamtael luo ingan, nga fah kalyei komtal ke ma koluk lomtal ac ke sripen komtal alu nu ke ma sruloala. Na komtal ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD Fulatlana.”
And they have put your wickedness on you, And you bear the sins of your idols, And you have known that I [am] Lord YHWH!”
