Ezekiel 17
1 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
2 “Son of man, tell a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel;
“Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, fahkang nu sin mwet Israel sie pupulyuk,
3 and say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “A great eagle with great wings and long feathers, full of feathers which had various colors, came to Lebanon and took the top of the cedar.
tuh elos in etu ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk nu selos: Oasr sie eagle na lulap su arulana kato unac kac, ac posohksok lal yohk ac sralap. El sohkla nu fineol in acn Lebanon ac kotala fien sak cedar soko.
4 He cropped off the topmost of its young twigs, and carried it to a land of traffic. He planted it in a city of merchants.
Na el usla nu ke sie facl in kuka, ac likiya lah sac in sie siti sin mwet kuka.
5 “‘“He also took some of the seed of the land and planted it in fruitful soil. He placed it beside many waters. He set it as a willow tree.
Na el eis soko sacn fusr liki facl Israel ac usla yukwiya ke sie ima wo fohk we, yen yohk kof we ma ac akoyohuye sacn uh in kap wo.
6 It grew and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and its roots were under him. So it became a vine, produced branches, and shot out sprigs.
Sacn soko ah srunak, na ke lahelik el soko fain grape ma fototo ac sralap. Lah kac uh kapak ku nu lucng, sukya acn se eagle sac muta we, ac okah kac uh kapla loal nu infohk uh, ac sropoh uh afla ke lah ac sra.
7 “‘“There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers. Behold, this vine bent its roots toward him, and shot out its branches toward him, from the ground where it was planted, that he might water it.
“Oasr pac sie eagle na lulap su posohksok la sralap ac unac kac matol. Na okah ac sra ke fain soko ah kapla ac oanla nu yen eagle sac muta we, finsrakkin mu in eis kutu pac kof sin eagle sac sayen kof ma oasr tari inima se el kapak we ah.
8 It was planted in a good soil by many waters, that it might produce branches and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a good vine.”’
Tusruktu fain soko ah yoki tari in sie acn wo fohk we ac yohk kof we, su oru sra kac uh in kapak ac grape uh in fokla pus, na orala soko fain na wowo.
9 “Say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Will it prosper? Will not he pull up its roots and cut off its fruit, that it may wither, that all its fresh springing leaves may wither? It cannot be raised from its roots by a strong arm or many people.
“Ouinge nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, siyuk: Ya fain soko inge ac kapak ac moul na? Ya eagle se meet ah ac tia fusak, olela grape kac uh, ac kotala lah kac, in masla? Tia enenu in oasr ku lulap, ku un mwet mweun pus in fusak.
10 Yes, behold, being planted, will it prosper? Will not it utterly wither when the east wind touches it? It will wither in the ground where it grew.”’”
Aok, pwaye lah fain soko ah yoki, tusruk ya ac ku in kapak? Ya ac tia masla ke eng kutulap me ac tuhme ac fungulya? Ya ac tia masla na acn kapak we uh?”
11 Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
12 “Say now to the rebellious house, ‘Do not you know what these things mean?’ Tell them, ‘Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took its king, and its princes, and brought them to him to Babylon.
“Siyuk sin mwet alein inge lah elos etu kalmen pupulyuk sac. Fahkang nu selos lah tokosra lun acn Babylonia el tuku nwe Jerusalem ac usla tokosra lun Judah wi mwet pwapa fulat lal welul folokla nu Babylonia.
13 He took one of the royal offspring, and made a covenant with him. He also brought him under an oath, and took away the mighty of the land,
Na el eis sie sin sou lun tokosra lun Judah ac oakiya sie wulela inmasrloltal, ac oru elan fulahk tuh el ac pwaye na nu sel. Na el kapriya pac kutu mwet fulat
14 that the kingdom might be brought low, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might stand.
in oru tuh mutunfacl sac in tia sifil tuyak ac lainul, oayapa tuh wuleang sac in tia musalla.
15 But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and many people. Will he prosper? Will he who does such things escape? Will he break the covenant, and still escape?
Tusruktu tokosra lun Judah el lain ma inge, ac supwala mwet lal nu Egypt in utuk horse ac un mwet mweun pus. Ya ac ku in wi ma el nunku an? Ya el ku in oru lumah inge ac tia nununkeyuk el? El tia ku in kunausla wulela sac ac wangin kaiyuk nu sel!”
16 “‘As I live,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘surely in the place where the king dwells who made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, even with him in the middle of Babylon he will die.
LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk, “In oana ke nga pa God moul, tokosra se inge ac misa in acn Babylonia, mweyen el kunausla fulahk lal ke wulela se el orala inmasrlol ac tokosra lun Babylonia, su srisrngilya tuh elan tokosra.
17 Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company will not help him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build forts to cut off many persons.
Finne mwet mweun fokoko lun tokosra Egypt, elos ac fah tia ku in kasru tokosra lun Judah ke pacl in mweun, ke mwet Babylonia ac elosak fohk ke pot, ac pukanak laf tuh elos in ku in uniya mwet puspis.
18 For he has despised the oath by breaking the covenant; and behold, he had given his hand, and yet has done all these things. He will not escape.
El kunausla fulahk lal ac wulela se ma el orala. El oru ma inge nukewa, ac inge el ac tia ku in kaingla.”
19 “Therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘As I live, I will surely bring on his own head my oath that he has despised and my covenant that he has broken.
LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk, “In oana ke nga pa God moul, nga ac kalyael ke el kunausla wulela ma el fulahk kac Inek mu el ac karinganang.
20 I will spread my net on him, and he will be taken in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon, and will enter into judgment with him there for his trespass that he has trespassed against me.
Nga ac laknelik sie nwek in sruokilya. Na nga ac usalla nu Babylonia ac sang kai nu sel we, mweyen el tia pwaye nu sik.
21 All his fugitives in all his bands will fall by the sword, and those who remain will be scattered toward every wind. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken it.’
Mwet mweun watwen lal ac anwuki nufon ke mweun, ac mwet lula uh ac fahsrelik nu yen nukewa. Na kowos ac fah etu lah nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
22 “The Lord GOD says: ‘I will also take some of the lofty top of the cedar, and will plant it. I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I will plant it on a high and lofty mountain.
Pa inge ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk: “Nga ac kotala fien soko sak cedar fulat, Ac kotala sie srun srisrik kac; Nga ac yukwiya fin soko eol fulat —
23 I will plant it in the mountain of the height of Israel; and it will produce boughs, and bear fruit, and be a good cedar. Birds of every kind will dwell in the shade of its branches.
Fineol fulat emeet in acn Israel. Ac fah kapak, lahelik ac isus fahko, Na ac orala soko sak cedar yohk ac wo. Kain in won nukewa yen engyeng uh ac fah muta olo Ac mongla ye lulin sak uh.
24 All the trees of the field will know that I, the LORD, have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree flourish. “‘I, the LORD, have spoken and have done it.’”
Sak nukewa in facl sac ac fah etu Lah nga pa LEUM GOD. Nga pakiya sak fulat uh Ac oru sak fototo uh in kapak fulat. Nga oru sak folfol insroa in masla, Ac oru sak masla in sifil folfol insroa. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge. Nga ac oru ma nga fahk mu nga ac oru.”
