Ezekiel 33
1 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
Again the word of the LORD came unto 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 unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
3 El fin liya lah mwet lokoalok elos tuku, na el ac ukya mwe ukuk in sensenkakin mwet uh.
If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
4 Sie mwet fin lohng ac pilesru, ac mwet lokoalok elos tuku ac unilya, mwatan misa lal ma na lal sifacna.
Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, 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 took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
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.
But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take [any] person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.
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 set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn 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 unto the wicked, O wicked [man], thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine 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.”
Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn 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?’
Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins [be] upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then 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 unto them, [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye 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.
Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his [righteousness] in the day that he sinneth.
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.
When I shall say to the righteous, [that] he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.
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 —
Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
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.
[If] the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he 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 that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; 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.
Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.
18 Sie mwet wo fin tui liki orekma wo lal ac mutawauk in orekma koluk, el ac fah misa kac.
When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby.
19 Sie mwet koluk fin tui liki orekma koluk, ac oru ma suwohs ac wo, el fah moul.
But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
20 A mwet Israel, kowos fahk mu ma nga oru uh tia suwohs. Nga ac fah nununkekowos fal nu ke ma kowos oru uh.”
Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.
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] one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten.
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.
Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening, afore he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.
23 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik
Then the word of the LORD came unto 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 inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we [are] many; the land is given us for inheritance.
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?
Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land?
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?
Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour’s wife: and shall ye possess the land?
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 unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; [As] I live, surely they that [are] in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that [is] in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that [be] in the forts and in the 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.
For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through.
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.”
Then shall they know that I [am] the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate because of 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.’
Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and 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 unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee [as] my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, [but] 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, lo, thou [art] unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they 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 this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come, ) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
