< Ezekiel 39 >

1 LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk, “Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, fahkak kas in palu lainul Gog, leum fulat lun mutunfacl Meshech ac Tubal, ac fahk nu sel lah nga lainul.
[Yahweh said to me], “You human, prophesy about [more terrible things that will happen] to Gog, and say this [to him]: ‘Gog, I am opposed to you who rule Meshech and Tubal.
2 Nga ac fah furokolla nu ke siena inkanek, ac kololla liki acn loes nu epang nwe ke na el sun fineol lun Israel.
I will turn you around and drag you [and your armies] from far north [of Israel] and send you to [fight on] the mountains in Israel.
3 Na nga fah puokla pisr natul liki lac paol lasa, ac sukan pisr natul liki lac paol layot.
When you are there, I will snatch your bows from your left hands and cause your arrows to fall from your right hands.
4 Gog, ac un mwet mweun lal wi mwet nukewa ma kasrel uh, ac fah topelik misa fineol Israel, ac nga ac fah lela tuh manolos in fah mwe mongo nu sin won nukewa, ac kosro lemnak nukewa.
You and all the soldiers that are with you will die on the mountains in Israel. I will give your [corpses] to be food for the birds that eat [dead] flesh, and to the wild animals.
5 Elos nukewa ac fah misa in acn turangang. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge.
You will die in the open fields. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, [have said that it will happen].
6 Nga ac fah tanak sie e in acn Magog, ac weacn nukewa yen ma mwet uh muta misla we, na mwet nukewa ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.
I will cause [many] fires to burn in Magog and among [all] those who live safely in the areas along their coasts, and they will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
7 Nga ac fah oru tuh mwet luk Israel elos in arulana etu lah Inek mutal, ac nga ac fah tia lela Inek in sifil aklusrongtenyeyuk. Na mutanfahl nukewa fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD mutal lun Israel.”
I will enable my Israeli people to know that I am holy. I will no longer allow people to damage my reputation, and [people in other] nations will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, am the Holy One in Israel.
8 LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk, “Len se ma nga tuh fahk ah, pwayena lah ac tuku.
[I], Yahweh the Lord, declare that it will soon be the day that those things will happen. It will be the day that I have spoken [to you] about.
9 Mwet su muta in siti lun Israel elos ac fah illa ac orani kufwen mwe mweun ma sisila uh mwe ta e lalos. Elos ac fah sang mwe loeyuk, pisr, sukan pisr, osra in fakfuk, ac sak in anwuk in mwe etong. Ma inge ac fal in orekmakinyuk in mwe ta e ke yac itkosr.
At that time, those Israelis who live in the towns will go out and gather the weapons [from your dead soldiers], and use them to make fires [to cook their food]. They will burn the small and large shields, the bows and arrows, the war clubs, and spears. There will be enough weapons to use as firewood for seven years.
10 Elos ac tia enenu in ti etong inima uh, ku pakpuk sak mwe etong insak uh, mweyen pukanten kufwen mwe mweun elos in etongkin. Elos ac fah pisrala ma lun mwet su tuh utyak ac pisre ma lalos meet ah.” LEUM GOD Fulatlana pa fahk ma inge.
They will not need to gather firewood in the fields or cut wood from trees in the forests, because those weapons will be all the firewood [that they will need]. And they will take valuable things from those who took valuable things from them, and steal things from people who stole things from them. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare [will happen].
11 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ke pacl se sikyak ma inge uh, nga ac fah sang sie acn in facl Israel, ke Infahlfal Lun Mwet Fufahsryesr kutulap in Meoa Misa, tuh Gog elan pukpuki we. Na Gog ac mwet mweun lal nukewa ac fah pukpuki, ac infahlfal sac ac fah pangpang ‘Infahlfal Lal Gog Ac Mwet Mweun Lal.’
At that time I will create a graveyard for you, Gog, [and your soldiers], in the valley east of the [Dead] Sea. That graveyard will block the road that travelers [usually walk on], because you, Gog and all [the soldiers] of your huge army will be buried there. [So] it will be named ‘the Valley of Gog’s Huge Army’.
12 Mwet Israel ac fah pikinya mwet misa inge ac sifil aknasnasyela acn inge ke malem itkosr.
For seven months the people of Israel will be burying those corpses. [It will be necessary to bury all of them], in order that the land will not be (defiled/considered unacceptable to me) [because of any unburied corpses].
13 Mwet nukewa in facl sac ac fah akasrui in pikinya mwet misa, na ac fah akfulatyeyuk elos ke sripa se inge ke len in kutangla luk uh. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge.
All the people of Israel will [do the work of] burying them. The day when I [win that victory] they will honor me.
14 Ac fah solla pac kutu mwet in forfor apunla facl sac ke lusen malem itkosr, ac pikinya mano nukewa ma oan soenna pukpuki, elos in aknasnasyela acn uh.
After those seven months are ended, the Israeli people will appoint men to go throughout the land to bury corpses, in order that the land will not remain defiled.
15 Ke elos ac fahsr sasla in acn uh, pacl nukewa ma elos ac konauk sri in mwet, elos ac akilenya acn sac, mwet pukpuk in tuku ac usla pikinya ke Infahlfal Lal Gog Ac Mwet Mweun Lal.
When they go through the land, when one of them sees a human bone, he will set up a marker beside it. [When] the gravediggers [see the markers, they will pick up the bones] and bury them in the Valley of Gog’s Huge Army.
16 (Oasr sie siti srisrik apkuran nu ke acn se inge, su ac fah ekin mwet mweun inge.) Ouinge facl sac ac fah sifil aknasnasyeyukla.”
There will be a city there named Hamonah, [which means ‘huge army’]. And by doing this [work of burying the corpses], they will (cleanse the land/cause the land to be acceptable to me again).’”
17 LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk nu sik, “Mwet sukawil, pangonma won nukewa, ac kosro lemnak nukewa in tuku liki acn nukewa, ac mongo ke mwe kisa se su nga akoo nu selos. Ac fah sie kufwa na lulap fineol in acn Israel, yen elos ac mongo ikwa ac nim srah.
[Yahweh said to me], “You human, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: Summon every kind of bird and wild animal. Say to them, ‘Gather together from everywhere and come to the feast that Yahweh is preparing for you. [It will be] a great feast on the mountains in Israel. [There] you will eat [men’s] flesh and drink their blood.
18 Elos ac tuku mongo monin mwet mweun, ac nim srah ke mwet leum lun faclu, su ac fah anwuki oana sheep mukul, ku sheep fusr, ku nani, ku cow mukul factfat.
You will eat the flesh of strong soldiers and drink the blood of kings [as if they were] fat animals—rams and lambs, goats and bulls—from the Bashan [region].
19 Ke nga ac uniya mwet inge oana mwe kisa, won ac kosro nukewa ac fah kangla kiris nwe ke na elos kihpi, ac nim srah nwe ke na elos sruhila.
At that feast that Yahweh is preparing for you, you will eat fat until your [stomachs] are full, and you will drink blood until [it is as though] you are drunk.
20 Ke tepu se luk inge, elos ac arulana kihpi ke kangyen ikwen horse ac ikwen mwet kasrusr fin horse, oayapa ikwen kain in mwet mweun nukewa. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge.”
[It will be as though] you are eating at a table that I [have set up for you. You will eat all you want of the flesh] of horses and their riders, strong soldiers [DOU] of every kind.’ [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.
21 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga ac fah lela mutunfacl saya in liye wolana luk, ac fahkak nununku suwohs luk in oru ma nga sulela in oru uh.
I will show [people of] many nations that I am glorious, and all those nations will see how I punish them [DOU].
22 In pacl sacn fahla, mwet Israel ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD lalos.
After that time, the Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh their God, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
23 Ac mutunfacl uh fah etu lah mwet Israel elos som nu in sruoh ke sripen ma koluk elos oru lainyu. Nga ngetla lukelos ac oru tuh mwet lokoalok lalos in kutangulosla ac onelosla ke mweun.
And the [people of other] nations will know that the Israeli people had been forced to go to other countries because they sinned by not being faithful to me. I (turned away from/abandoned) them, and allowed their enemies to capture them [IDM], and many [HYP] of them were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
24 Nga oru nu selos fal nu ke koluk ac moul fohkfok lalos, ac nga forla lukelos.”
I punished them like they deserved to be punished because of their disgusting behavior and sins, and I turned away from them [MTY].
25 LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk, “Tusruktu, inge nga ac fah pakoten nu sin fwilin tulik natul Jacob, mwet Israel, ac sifil folokonak moul wo lalos meet ah. Nga fah karingin Ine mutal luk.
Therefore, this is [now] what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I will now bring back from exile/Babylonia [the descendants of] Jacob; I will pity all the Israeli people, and I will [also] jealously protect my reputation.
26 Ke pacl se elos ac sifilpa muta in misla in facl selos sifacna, ac wangin mwet sifilpa aklokoalokyalos, elos ac fah tia sifil esam pacl se akmwekinyeyuk elos ke sripen seakos ac likkeke lalos nu sik.
When the Israeli people [are back in their own country, they will] live safely in their land, with no one to cause them to be afraid, but they will be ashamed when they think about the disgraceful and unfaithful things that they did [previously].
27 Nga ac fah folokonma mwet luk liki facl nukewa ma mwet lokoalok lalos muta we, in akkalemye nu sin mutunfacl nukewa lah nga mutal.
When I have brought them back from their enemies’ countries and gathered them together [in Israel], the people of many nations will know that I am holy.
28 Na mwet luk ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD lalos, mweyen nga tuh supwalosla nu in sruoh, ac inge nga sifil eisaloseni ac folokunulosme nu in facl selos sifacna, ac tia sisla siefanna selos.
And the Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh their Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do]. They will know that because [even though] I forced them to go to [other] countries, I will gather them together in their own country. I will not leave any of them in those countries.
29 Nga ac fah okoala ngunik nu fin mwet Israel, ac tiana sifil ngetla lukelos. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge.”
I will no longer turn away from them; I will pour out my Spirit on the Israeli people. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
