Ezekiel 3
1 God El fahk, “Mwet sukawil moul la, kangla book limlim se inge, na kom som kaskas nu sin mwet Israel.”
“Son of man,” He said to me, “eat what you find here. Eat this scroll, then go and speak to the house of Israel.”
2 Ouinge nga mangelik, ac El ase book limlim sac ngan kangla.
So I opened my mouth, and He fed me the scroll.
3 El fahk, “Mwet sukawil, kangla book limlim se nga sot nu sum uh, ac nwakla insiom kac.” Na nga kangla, ac emwem kac uh oana honey.
“Son of man,” He said to me, “eat and fill your stomach with this scroll I am giving you.” So I ate, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
4 Na God El fahk, “Mwet sukawil, fahla nu yurin mwet Israel ac fahk nu selos ma nukewa nga supwekom in fahk nu selos uh.
Then He said to me, “Son of man, go now to the house of Israel and speak My words to them.
5 Nga tia supwekom nu ke sie mutunfacl su kom tia kalem ke kas lalos, a nu yurin mwet na Israel.
For you are not being sent to a people of unfamiliar speech or difficult language, but to the house of Israel—
6 Nga funu supwekom nu in kutu mutunfacl lulap su orekmakin kas upa ma kom tia kalem kac, elos lukun lohng kom.
not to the many peoples of unfamiliar speech and difficult language whose words you cannot understand. Surely if I had sent you to them, they would have listened to you.
7 A funu mwet Israel, wangin sie selos ac lungse in lohng kom. Finne nga, elos tia pac lohngyu. Elos nukewa mwet likkeke ac lungse alein.
But the house of Israel will be unwilling to listen to you, since they are unwilling to listen to Me. For the whole house of Israel is hard-headed and hard-hearted.
8 Inge nga ac oru kom in likkeke ac ku oana elos.
Behold, I will make your face as hard as their faces, and your forehead as hard as their foreheads.
9 Nga ac oru kom in ku oana sie eot, ac keke oana sie diamond. Nimet sangeng sin mwet orek alein ingo.”
I will make your forehead like a diamond, harder than flint. Do not be afraid of them or dismayed at their presence, even though they are a rebellious house.”
10 God El sifilpa fahk, “Mwet sukawil, sang insiom in porongo ac esam ma nukewa nga fahk nu sum uh.
“Son of man,” He added, “listen carefully to all the words I speak to you, and take them to heart.
11 Na kom som nu yurin mwet srahm su muta in sruoh, ac fahk nu selos ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk nu selos, lah elos ac lohng kom ku tia.”
Go to your people, the exiles; speak to them and tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says,’ whether they listen or refuse to listen.”
12 Na ngun lun God srukyuyak, ac nga lohng sie pusra tukuk su fahk, “Kaksakin wolana lun LEUM GOD inkusrao lucng.”
Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard a great rumbling sound behind me: ‘Blessed be the glory of the LORD in His dwelling place!’
13 Nga lohng pusren posohksok lun ma orekla moul uh tukeni pikpik yen engyeng uh, ac kusen wheel uh su yohk pusra oana pusren kusrusr lulap.
It was the sound of the wings of the living creatures brushing against one another and the sound of the wheels beside them, a great rumbling sound.
14 Ac ku lulap lun LEUM GOD tuku nu fuk, ac ke ngun lal usyula nga pulakin inse toasr ac kasrkusrak.
So the Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness and in the anger of my spirit, with the strong hand of the LORD upon me.
15 Na nga tuku nu Tel Abib sisken Infacl Chebar, yen ma mwet sruoh elos muta we. Nga muta we len itkosr, ac wela ke ma nga tuh liye ac lohng.
I came to the exiles at Tel-abib who dwelt by the River Kebar. And for seven days I sat where they sat and remained there among them, overwhelmed.
16 Tukun len itkosr, LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik
At the end of seven days the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
17 ac fahk, “Mwet sukawil, nga orekomla in sie mwet san nu sin mutanfahl Israel, ac kom fah fahkang nu selos kas in sensenkakunulos ke kas ma nga ac sot nu sum.
“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from My mouth, give them a warning from Me.
18 Nga fin akkalemye lah mwet koluk uh ac misa, ac kom tia fahkang nu selos in aolla moul lalos tuh elos in moul, na elos ac misa ke ma koluk lalos, tusruk nga ac filiya mwatan misa lalos fom.
If I say to the wicked man, ‘You will surely die,’ but you do not warn him or speak out to warn him from his wicked way to save his life, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, and I will hold you responsible for his blood.
19 A kom fin sang kas in kai nu sin mwet koluk, ac elos tiana forla liki, na elos ac misa ke orekma koluk lalos, na kom ac moul.
But if you warn a wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness and his wicked way, he will die in his iniquity, but you will have saved yourself.
20 “Ac fin mwet suwoswos uh mutawauk in oru ma koluk, na nga fuhlelosi in muta ke moul fosrnga, elos ac misa ke ma koluk lalos ke sripen kom tia sensenkakunulos. Nga fah tia esam ma wo elos oru meet ah, ac kom ac fah eis mwatan misa lalos.
Now if a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die. If you did not warn him, he will die in his sin, and the righteous acts he did will not be remembered. And I will hold you responsible for his blood.
21 A kom fin sensenkakin mwet wo in tia oru ma koluk, ac elos lohng kom ac tia oru ma koluk, elos ac moul, ac kom ac oayapa moul.”
But if you warn the righteous man not to sin, and he does not sin, he will indeed live because he heeded your warning, and you will have saved yourself.”
22 Nga pulakin ku lun LEUM GOD oan fuk, ac nga lohng ke El fahk nu sik, “Tukakek ac tufokla nu infahlfal uh. Nga fah sramsram nu sum we.”
And there the hand of the LORD was upon me, and He said to me, “Get up, go out to the plain, and there I will speak with you.”
23 Ouinge nga som nu infahlfal uh, ac nga liye wolana lun LEUM GOD oana ke nga tuh liye sisken Infacl Chebar. Na nga faksufi nu infohk uh.
So I got up and went out to the plain, and behold, the glory of the LORD was present there, like the glory I had seen by the River Kebar, and I fell facedown.
24 Ngun lun God ilyak nu in nga ac tulokinyuyak. Ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Fahla, utyak nu in lohm sum an, ac kaliya.
Then the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet. He spoke with me and said, “Go, shut yourself inside your house.
25 Mwet sukwil, kom ac fah kapriyuki ke sucl, ac kom ac tia ku in illa nu in wulil uh.
And you, son of man, they will tie with ropes, and you will be bound so that you cannot go out among the people.
26 Nga fah oru tuh loum in ulla, kom in tia ku in fahk kas in sensenkakin nu sin mwet alein inge.
I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, and you will be silent and unable to rebuke them, though they are a rebellious house.
27 Na ke nga ac sifilpa kaskas nu sum ac sifil oru kom in ku in kaskas, kom fah fahkang nu selos ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk uh. Kutu selos ac porongekom, ac kutu ac pilesrekom, mweyen elos sie mutanfahl alein.”
But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you are to tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’ Whoever listens, let him listen; and whoever refuses, let him refuse, for they are a rebellious house.
