Ezekiel 33
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, fahkak nu sin mwet lom an ma ac sikyak nga fin oru tuh in oasr mweun nu sin sie facl. Mwet in facl sac ac sulela sie selos in mwet san lalos.
Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say to them: When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man, one of their meanest, and make him a watchman over them:
3 El fin liya lah mwet lokoalok elos tuku, na el ac ukya mwe ukuk in sensenkakin mwet uh.
And he see the sword coming upon the land, and sound the trumpet, and tell the people:
4 Sie mwet fin lohng ac pilesru, ac mwet lokoalok elos tuku ac unilya, mwatan misa lal ma na lal sifacna.
Then he that heareth the sound of the trumpet, whosoever he be, and doth not look to himself, if the sword come, and cut him off: his blood shall be upon his own head.
5 Misa lal uh ma el sifacna oru, mweyen el tia lohang nu ke sulkakinyen tuku lun mwet lokoalok ah. El funu lohang nu kac, el lukun ku in kaingla.
He heard the sound of the trumpet and did not look to himself, his blood shall be upon him: but if he look to himself, he shall save his life.
6 Tusruktu mwet san sac fin liye ke mwet lokoalok uh tuku ac el tia ukya mwe ukuk, na mwet lokoalok uh ac tuku ac uniya mwet koluk inge, ac mwatan misa lalos ac fah ma lun mwet san sac.
And if the watchman see the sword coming, and sound not the trumpet: and the people look not to themselves, and the sword come, and cut off a soul from among them: he indeed is taken away in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at the hand of the watchman.
7 “Inge, mwet sukawil, nga ac oru tuh kom in sie mwet san nu sin mutanfahl Israel. Kom enenu in tafwela nu selos kas in sensenkakin ma nga ac sot nu sum.
So thou, O son of man, I have made thee a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore thou shalt hear the word from my mouth, and shalt tell it them from me.
8 Nga fin fahkak lah sie mwet koluk el ac misa, ac kom tia sensenkakinul elan ku in forla liki orekma koluk lal ac molela moul lal, na el ac misa sie mwet koluk, ac nga ac fah filiya mwatan misa lal uh nu fom.
When I say to the wicked: O wicked man, thou shalt surely die: if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked man from his way: that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy hand.
9 Kom fin sensenkakin sie mwet koluk ac el tia tui liki orekma koluk lal, el ac misa ke el srakna sie mwet koluk, a funu kom, kom ac moulna.”
But if thou tell the wicked man, that he may be converted from his ways, and he be not converted from his way: he shall die in his iniquity: but thou hast delivered thy soul.
10 Na LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ac fahk, “Mwet sukawil, sifilpa fahk nu sin mwet Israel ma elos fahk inge: ‘Kut toasrna ke ma koluk lasr ac ma sufal ma kut orala uh. Kut munaslana. Kut ac ku in moul fuka?’
Thou therefore, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: Thus you have spoken, saying: Our iniquities, and our sins are upon us, and we pine away in them: how then can we live?
11 Fahk nu selos lah ke sripen nga LEUM GOD Fulatlana ac nga God moul, nga tia engankin in liye ke sie mwet koluk el misa. Nga kena liye elan tui liki orekma koluk lal, tuh elan moul. Mwet Israel, tui liki orekma koluk lowos an. Efu ku kowos lungse misa?
Say to them: As I live, saith the Lord God, I desire not the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way, and live. Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways: and why will you die, O house of Israel?
12 “Inge, mwet sukawil, fahk nu sin mwet Israel lah sie mwet wo el fin oru ma koluk, ma wo ma el orala tari tia ku in molella. Sie mwet koluk el fin tui liki orekma koluk lal, el ac fah tia kalyeiyuk, ac sie mwet wo fin mutawauk in orekma koluk, moul lal uh ac fah tia sekoeyuk.
Thou therefore, O son of man, say to the children of thy people: The justice of the just shall not deliver him, in what day soever he shall sin: and the wickedness of the wicked shall not hurt him, in what day soever he shall turn from his wickedness: and the just shall not be able to live in his justice, in what day soever he shall sin.
13 Nga fin wulela nu sin sie mwet wo mu el ac moul, tusruktu el fin nunku mu ma wo el orala meet ah ku in molella ac el mutawauk in orekma koluk, nga ac tia esam kutena ma wo ma el orala meet. El ac misa ke sripen orekma koluk lal.
Yea, if I shall say to the just that he shall surely live, and he, trusting in his justice, commit iniquity: all his justices shall be forgotten, and in his iniquity, which he hath committed, in the same shall he die.
14 Nga ku pac in sensenkakin sie mwet koluk lah el ac misa, tusruktu el fin tui liki orekma koluk lal, ac oru ma wo ac suwohs —
And if I shall say to the wicked: Thou shalt surely die: and he do penance for his sin, and do judgment and justice,
15 kalmac pa el fin folokunla mwe akpwaye nu sin mwet se ma ngusr mani sel, ku el folokunla ma el tuh pisrala — el fin tui liki orekma koluk lal, ac moul fal nu ke ma sap su sang moul nu sel, el ac fah tiana misa, a el fah moul.
And if that wicked man restore the pledge, and render what he had robbed, and walk in the commandments of life, and do no unjust thing: he shall surely live, and shall not die.
16 Nga ac fah nunak munas ke ma koluk nukewa el tuh orala, na el ac fah moul mweyen el oru ma wo ac suwohs.
None of his sins, which he hath committed, shall be imputed to him: he hath done judgment and justice, he shall surely live.
17 “Mwet lom ingan fahk mu ma nga oru uh tia suwohs! Mo — ma elos oru uh pa tia suwohs uh.
And the children of thy people have said: The way of the Lord is not equitable: whereas their own way is unjust.
18 Sie mwet wo fin tui liki orekma wo lal ac mutawauk in orekma koluk, el ac fah misa kac.
For when the just shall depart from his justice, and commit iniquities, he shall die in them.
19 Sie mwet koluk fin tui liki orekma koluk, ac oru ma suwohs ac wo, el fah moul.
And when the wicked shall depart from his wickedness, and shall do judgments, and justice: be shall live in them.
20 A mwet Israel, kowos fahk mu ma nga oru uh tia suwohs. Nga ac fah nununkekowos fal nu ke ma kowos oru uh.”
And you say: The way of the Lord is not right, I will judge every one of you according to his ways, O house of Israel.
21 In len aklimekosr in malem aksingoul ke yac aksingoul luo in sruoh lasr, sie mukul su kaingla liki acn Jerusalem el tuku fahk nu sik lah siti sac musalla.
And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that there came to me one that was fled from Jerusalem, saying: The city is laid waste.
22 In eku se meet liki el tuku ah, nga pulakin ku lun LEUM GOD oan fuk. Na ke mukul sac tuku ke lotu se tok ah, LEUM GOD El sifilpa folokunma ku nu sik tuh ngan ku in kaskas.
And the hand of the Lord had been upon me in the evening, before he that was fled came: and he opened my mouth till he came to me in the morning, and my mouth being opened, I was silent no more.
23 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
24 ac fahk, “Mwet sukawil, mwet su muta in siti musalla lun Israel elos fahk mu: ‘Abraham el mwet sefanna, ac facl se inge nufon itukyang nu sel. Inge kut arulana pus, ouinge acn uh ituku in ma lac lasr.’
Son of man, they that dwell in these ruinous places in the land of Israel, speak, saying: Abraham was one, and he inherited the land, but we are many, the land is given us in possession.
25 “Fahk nu selos ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk inge: Kowos kang ikwa ma srakna oasr srah kac. Kowos alu nu ke ma sruloala. Kowos akmas. Efu ku kowos nunku mu acn uh ma lowos?
Therefore say to them: Thus saith the Lord God, You that eat with the blood and lift up your eyes to your uncleannesses, and that shed blood: shall you possess the land by inheritance?
26 Kowos filiya lulalfongi lowos ke cutlass nutuwos. Kowos oru mwe srungayuk. Mwet nukewa orek kosro. Efu ku kowos nunku mu acn uh ma lowos?
You stood on your swords, you have committed abominations, and every one hath defiled his neighbour’s wife; and shall you possess the land by inheritance?
27 “Fahkang nu selos lah nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk mu ke sripen nga pa God moul, mwet su muta in siti musalla uh ac fah anwuki ke mweun. Elos su muta inima uh ac fah mongola sin kosro lemnak. Ac elos su wikwik fineol uh ac in luf uh ac fah misa ke mas upa.
Say thou thus to them: Thus saith the Lord God: As I live, they that dwell in the ruinous places, shall fall by the sword: and he that is in the field, shall be given to the beasts to be devoured: and they that are in holds, and caves, shall die of the pestilence.
28 Nga fah sukela facl selos in mwesisla, ac ku se su elos arulana inse fulat kac ac fah safla. Finne eol in facl Israel, ac fah wanginla ma oan fac, oru wangin mwet ku in fahla we.
And I will make the land a wilderness, and a desert, and the proud strength thereof shall fail, and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, because there is none to pass by them.
29 Ke pacl se nga ac kalyei mwet uh ke ma koluk lalos ac oru facl selos in sie acn sikiyukla, na elos ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.”
And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have made their land waste and desolate, for all their abominations which they have committed.
30 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet sukawil, mwet lom uh kaskas keim ke pacl elos ac osun sisken pot lun siti uh, ku ke mutunoa in lohm selos. Elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, ‘Kut som lohng lah kas fuka tuku sin LEUM GOD me.’
And thou son of man: the children of thy people, that talk of thee by the walls, and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another each men to his neighbour, saying: Come, and let us hear what is the word that cometh forth from the Lord.
31 Na mwet luk elos ac fahsreni in lohng lah mea kom ac fahk, tusruktu elos tia oru ma kom fahk elos in oru uh. Elos fahk kas na wowo, a elos sikalani in oru rapku lalos.
And they come to thee, as if a people were coming in, and my people sit before thee: and hear thy words, and do them not: for they turn them into a song of their mouth, and their heart goeth after their covetousness.
32 Elos oru mu kom sie mwet onkakin on in lungse, mwe na akpwaryalos — wo pusrem ac kom sumat in srital ke harp. Elos lohng kas nukewa kom fahk, a tiana akos siefanna.
And thou art to them as a musical song which is sung with a sweet and agreeable voice: and they hear thy words, and do them not.
33 Tusruktu, pacl se kas lom uh ac akpwayeyeyuk — aok, ac akpwayeyeyuk — na elos ac fah etu lah oasr sie mwet palu inmasrlolos.”
And when that which was foretold shall come to pass, (for behold it is coming, ) then shall they know that a prophet bath been among them.
