Ezekiel 3

1 God El fahk, “Mwet sukawil moul la, kangla book limlim se inge, na kom som kaskas nu sin mwet Israel.”

And He said unto me: 'Son of man, eat that which thou findest; eat this roll, and go, speak unto the house of Israel.'

2 Ouinge nga mangelik, ac El ase book limlim sac ngan kangla.

So I opened my mouth, and He caused me to eat that roll.

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.

And He said unto me: 'Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee.' Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.

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.

And He said unto me: 'Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with My words unto them.

5 Nga tia supwekom nu ke sie mutunfacl su kom tia kalem ke kas lalos, a nu yurin mwet na Israel.

For thou art not sent to a people of an unintelligible speech and of a slow tongue, 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 many peoples of an unintelligible speech and of a slow tongue, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, if I sent thee to them, they would hearken unto thee.

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 not consent to hearken unto thee; for they consent not to hearken unto Me; for all the house of Israel are of a hard forehead and of a stiff heart.

8 Inge nga ac oru kom in likkeke ac ku oana elos.

Behold, I have made thy face hard against their faces, and thy forehead hard against their foreheads.

9 Nga ac oru kom in ku oana sie eot, ac keke oana sie diamond. Nimet sangeng sin mwet orek alein ingo.”

As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead; fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, for 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.

Moreover He said unto me: 'Son of man, all My words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thy heart, and hear with thine ears.

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.”

And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them: Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.'

12 Na ngun lun God srukyuyak, ac nga lohng sie pusra tukuk su fahk, “Kaksakin wolana lun LEUM GOD inkusrao lucng.”

Then a spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing: 'Blessed be the glory of the LORD from His 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.

also the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing.

14 Ac ku lulap lun LEUM GOD tuku nu fuk, ac ke ngun lal usyula nga pulakin inse toasr ac kasrkusrak.

So a spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of the LORD was strong 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.

Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river Chebar, and I sat where they sat; and I remained there appalled among them seven days.

16 Tukun len itkosr, LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik

And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came unto 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 appointed thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; and when thou shalt hear a word at My mouth, thou shalt give them 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.

When I say unto the wicked: Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at thy hand.

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.

Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

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.

Again, when a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, I will lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die; because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thy hand.

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.”

Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and thou hast delivered thy soul.'

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 the hand of the LORD came there upon me; and He said unto me: 'Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there speak with thee.'

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.

Then I arose, and went forth into the plain; and, behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.

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 spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet; and He spoke with me, and said unto me: 'Go, shut thyself within thy house.

25 Mwet sukwil, kom ac fah kapriyuki ke sucl, ac kom ac tia ku in illa nu in wulil uh.

But thou, son of man, behold, bands shall be put upon thee, and thou shalt be bound with them, and thou shalt not go out among them;

26 Nga fah oru tuh loum in ulla, kom in tia ku in fahk kas in sensenkakin nu sin mwet alein inge.

and I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover; for 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 thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD; he that heareth, let him hear, and he that forbeareth, let him forbear; for they are a rebellious house.
