< Ezekiel 13 >

1 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 ac fahk, “Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, fahk kas in lain mwet palu lun Israel su sifacna kinauk kas in palu lalos. Fahkang nu selos elos in lohng na kas lun LEUM GOD.”
“Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy out of their own heart, ‘Hear the LORD’s word:
3 Pa inge ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk: “We nu sin mwet palu lalfon ingan! Elos sifacna orala nunak in akkeyalos, ac kinauk aruruma lalos.
The Lord GOD says, “Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
4 Mwet Israel, mwet palu lowos uh wangin sripalos. Elos oana kosro lemnak ma muta ke acn musalla in siti uh.
Israel, your prophets have been like foxes in the waste places.
5 Elos tiana taran acn ma mokukla ke kalkal uh, ku aksasuyela pot we. Ouinge ac fah wangin ma loangeyen Israel in pacl in mweun ke len lun LEUM GOD.
You have not gone up into the gaps or built up the wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the LORD’s day.
6 Aruruma lalos uh tia pwaye, ac kas in palu lalos uh kikiap. Elos fahk mu elos fahkak kas luk, a nga tia supwalos. Elos nunku mu kas lalos inge ac akpwayeyuk.
They have seen falsehood and lying divination, who say, ‘The LORD says;’ but the LORD has not sent them. They have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed.
7 Nga fahk nu selos: Aruruma ma kowos liye uh tia pwaye, ac kas in palu lowos uh kikiap. Kowos fahk mu ma luk pa kas ingan, tuh nga soenna kaskas nu suwos!”
Haven’t you seen a false vision, and haven’t you spoken a lying divination, in that you say, ‘The LORD says;’ but I have not spoken?”
8 Ouinge LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk nu selos, “Mweyen kas lowos uh tia pwaye, ac aruruma lowos uh kikiap, nga lain kowos.
“‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Because you have spoken falsehood and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you,” says the Lord GOD.
9 Nga akola in kalyei kowos, mwet palu su liye aruruma kikiap ac fahkak kas in palu tia pwaye. Ke mwet luk uh ac tukeni in orek pwapu, kowos ac fah tia wi. Ac fah tia simla inewos inmasrlon mwet Israel. Kowos ac fah tiana folokla nu in facl Israel. Na kowos ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD Fulatlana.
“My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and who utter lying divinations. They will not be in the council of my people, neither will they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither will they enter into the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.”
10 Mwet palu elos kiapu mwet luk ke elos fahk mu ma nukewa wona, sruk tiana wo! Mwet luk uh etoak pot na munas, na mwet palu tuku fasrela.
“‘Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, “Peace;” and there is no peace. When one builds up a wall, behold, they plaster it with whitewash.
11 Fahkang nu sin mwet palu an lah pot lalos uh ac mokukla. Nga ac supwala af matol, ac tultul in af ma oana eot ac putat nu fac, ac eng upa ac fah fungulya.
Tell those who plaster it with whitewash that it will fall. There will be an overflowing shower; and you, great hailstones, will fall. A stormy wind will tear it.
12 Ouinge pot sac ac raki, na mwet nukewa ac fah siyuk, ‘Mwe mea in fasriyukla?’”
Behold, when the wall has fallen, won’t it be said to you, “Where is the plaster with which you have plastered it?”
13 Pa inge ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk: “Ke sripen kasrkusrak luk, nga ac supwala eng upa ac af matol ac tultul in af upa in tuh kunausla pot sac.
“‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “I will even tear it with a stormy wind in my wrath. There will be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to consume it.
14 Nga akola ngan kunausya pot sac ma elos fasrela, ac rakinya tuh pwelung uh fah mwesisla. Pot sac ac fah raki ac unikowosi nukewa. Na mwet nukewa fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.”
So I will break down the wall that you have plastered with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation will be uncovered. It will fall, and you will be consumed in the middle of it. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
15 “Pot sac, ac elos su fasrela ah, fah pulakin fulen kasrkusrak luk. Na nga fah fahk nu suwos lah pot sac wanginla, oayapa elos su fasrela —
Thus I will accomplish my wrath on the wall, and on those who have plastered it with whitewash. I will tell you, ‘The wall is no more, nor those who plastered it—
16 aok, mwet palu ma tuh fahk mu ma nukewa in Jerusalem wona, ke tiana wo.” LEUM GOD Fulatlana pa fahk ma inge.
to wit, the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace,’” says the Lord GOD.’”
17 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet sukawil, inge ngetla liye mutan inmasrlon mwet lom su kinauk kas in palu lalos. Lainulos
You, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy against them,
18 ac fahkang nu selos ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk inge: “We nu suwos mutan, su twani mwe lohlpo inutnut lun mwet nukewa, ac oayapa susu nuknuk inutnut tuh in oasr ku lalos fin moul lun mwet ngia. Kowos lungse in oasr ku lowos in nununku moul ac misa fin mwet luk uh, ac kowos orekmakin ku se inge tuh in wo nu suwos sifacna.
and say, “The Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the women who sew magic bands on all elbows and make veils for the head of persons of every stature to hunt souls! Will you hunt the souls of my people and save souls alive for yourselves?
19 Kowos pilesreyu ye mutun mwet luk tuh kowos in eis kutu srisrik barley ac ipin bread na ekasr. Kowos uniya mwet su tia fal in misa, ac sruokya moul lun mwet su tia fal in moul. Ke kowos oru ouinge kowos kiapwela mwet luk, ac elos lulalfongi kowos.”
You have profaned me amongst my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to kill the souls who should not die and to save the souls alive who should not live, by your lying to my people who listen to lies.’
20 Pa inge ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk: “Nga srunga mwe lohlpo ma kowos orala in nununku moul ac misa lun mwet. Nga ac sacla liki pouwos, ac aksukosokyela mwet su tuh muta ye ku lowos.
“Therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I am against your magic bands, with which you hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms. I will let the souls fly free, even the souls whom you ensnare like birds.
21 Nga ac tulakunla susu nuknuk liki sifowos, ac aksukosokyela mwet luk uh liki ku lowos nwe tok. Na kowos fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.
I will also tear your veils and deliver my people out of your hand; and they will no longer be in your hand to be ensnared. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
22 “Kas kikiap lowos uh akmunasyela mwet wo, su nga tia lungse in sun mwe keok. Kowos pirik na mwet koluk uh in tia tui ke orekma koluk, pwanang elos tia konauk inkanek in moul.
Because with lies you have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, and be saved alive.
23 Inge, aruruma kikiap ac kas in palu sutuu lowos uh safla. Nga ac molela mwet luk liki ye ku lowos, na kowos fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.”
Therefore you shall no more see false visions nor practise divination. I will deliver my people out of your hand. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
