Ezekiel 23
1 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
The word of Jehovah came again to me, saying,
2 “Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, sie pacl ah oasr tamtael luo.
Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother.
3 Ke pacl se elos fusr ac muta in acn Egypt elos sa in sun mukul, ac ekla nu ke mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lalos.
And they played the harlot in Egypt. They played the harlot in their youth. There their breasts were pressed, and there was handled the bosom of their virginity.
4 Inen ma se ma matu ah pa Oholah, (el aolla acn Samaria), ac inen ma se ma srik pa Oholibah (el aol acn Jerusalem). Nga payukyak seltal kewa ac oasr tulik nutik seltal kewa.
And the names of them were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister. And they became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. And as for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
5 Oholah el nwe payuk nu sik, a el srakna orek kosro, ac srakna ke suk mukul ma el pwar se sin mwet Assyria.
And Oholah played the harlot when she was mine, and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors,
6 Elos mwet mweun su nukum nuknuk sroninmutuk, mwet leum, ac yohk wal lalos ke mweun uh. Elos nukewa mwet oasku su kasrusr fin horse.
who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.
7 Mutan sac sie mutan kosro nu sin mwet leum lun un mwet mweun Assyria, ac lung koluk lal oru elan akfohkfokyal sifacna ke alu nu ke ma sruloala.
And she bestowed her whoredoms upon them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them. And on whomever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself.
8 El tafwelana moul in kosro lal su el tuh mutawauk oru in acn Egypt, acn se el tuh mutawauk in eteya mwet we. Ke na pacl ma el srakna mutan fusr, mukul uh mutawauk in oan yorol ac oral oana sie mutan kosro.
Neither has she left her whoredoms since Egypt. For in her youth they lie with her, and they handled the bosom of her virginity, and they poured out their whoredom upon her.
9 Ouinge nga tuh eisalang nu sin mukul ma el lung koluk nu se in acn Assyria, su el arulana pwar selos.
Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.
10 Elos sarukulla el koflufol. Elos sruokya tulik mukul ac tulik mutan natul, na elos unilya ke cutlass. Mutan in acn nukewa elos lesrikel ke ma sikyak nu sel inge.
These uncovered her nakedness. They took her sons and her daughters, and they killed her with the sword. And she became a byword among women, for they executed judgments upon her.
11 Tamtael wial ah, Oholibah, el ne liye ma inge, el koluk yohk lukel Oholah ke moul in kosro lal uh.
And her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her whoredoms which were more than the whoredoms of her sister.
12 El wi pac arulana pwar in orek ma koluk nu sin mwet leum lun Assyria ac mwet mweun fulat su nukum nuknuk in mweun, oayapa mwet mweun su kasrusr fin horse — mukul inge kewa mukul fusr ac oasku lumahlos.
She doted upon the Assyrians, governors and rulers, her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men.
13 Nga liye lah moul lal Oholibah arulana fohkfok. Tamtael se ma fusr inge koluk oana el su matu.
And I saw that she was defiled. They both took one way.
14 Na el oru moul in kosro lal inge arulana alukela. El liye petsa ke mukul ma sroalla ke sinka in lohm uh ke tuhn srusra,
And she increased her whoredoms, for she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,
15 wi pel su losya infulwalos ac mwe lohl na kato ma oan fin sifalos. Petsa inge nukewa petsaiyen leum lun mwet mweun Babylonia, su acn selos uh pa Chaldea.
girded with belts upon their loins, with flowing turbans upon their heads, all of them rulers to look upon, according to the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their nativity.
16 Ke el liye petsa inge, lung koluk lal tuyang nu sel kaclos, ac el supwala mwet tutafpo in us kas lal nu yorolos in acn Babylonia.
And as soon as she saw them she doted upon them, and sent messengers to them into Chaldea.
17 Ac mukul Babylonia inge tuku oan yorol, ac elos akkolukyalla nwe ke na el srungalosla.
And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love. And they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them.
18 El ikasulak ye mutun mwet uh, ac akkalemye lah el sie mutan kosro. Na nga arulana kasrkusrak sel, oana ke nga tuh kasrkusrak sin tamtael se wial ah.
So she uncovered her whoredoms, and uncovered her nakedness. Then my soul was alienated from her, just as my soul was alienated from her sister.
19 Elahn kosro lal ah yokelik liki na meet ah, ke el sifil oru lumah fohkfok ma el tuh oru ke el mutan fusr ac kukakin manol in acn Egypt.
Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, remembering the days of her youth in which she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
20 Arulana yokla lung koluk lal nu sin mukul ma lungse orekma koluk uh ac moul lalos oana donkey mukul ku horse mukul uh.” (
And she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
21 Oholibah, ya kom lungse sifil kalweni moul koluk su kom tuh moulkin in facl Egypt, yen ma mukul uh tuh sritalkin titi lom an, ac kom eteya mwet uh we?)
Thus thou called to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in the handling of thy bosom by the Egyptians for the breasts of thy youth.
22 “Ke ma inge, Oholibah, pa inge ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, ac fahk nu sum uh: Kom tasak sin mukul ma pwar sum ingan, tuh nga ac fah oru elos in kasrkusrak sum, ac tuku raunikomla.
Therefore, O Oholibah, thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side:
23 Nga fah usani mukul nukewa in acn Babylonia ac Chaldea — mwet Pekod, mwet Shoa, ac mwet Koa, ac mwet Assyria nukewa. Nga ac fah usani nufon mwet leum ac mwet fulat ke mweun su fusr ac oasku, aok mwet na yohk sripalos, ac mwet mweun fulat su kasrusr fin horse uh.
the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them, desirable young men, governors and rulers all of them, rulers and men of renown, all of them riding upon horses.
24 Elos ac fah mweuni kom liki acn epang, ac use sie u lulap ke mwet mweun, wi chariot ac wagon in wun kufwa lalos. Elos ac loangeyuk ke mwe loang ac susu osra, na elos ac fah raunikomla. Nga ac fah eiskomyang nu selos, ac elos ac fah nununkekom ke ma sap lalos sifacna.
And they shall come against thee with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a company of peoples. They shall set themselves against thee with buckler and shield and helmet round about. And I will commit the judgment to them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments.
25 Ke sripen nga kasrkusrak sum, nga ac fah lela elos in oru na ma elos lungse oru nu sum ke na kasrkusrak lalos. Elos ac fah pakela infwem ac insrem, ac uniya tulik nutum uh. Aok, elos ac fah eisla wen ac acn nutum liki kom, na elos fah moul na isisyak.
And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal with thee in fury. They shall take away thy nose and thine ears, and thy residue shall fall by the sword. They shall take thy sons and thy daughters, and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.
26 Elos ac fah sacla nuknuk lom an, ac eisla mwe yun saok nukewa lom.
They shall also strip thee of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels.
27 Nga fah tulokinya lung koluk lom ac lumah fohkfok nukewa ma kom tuh oru e ke pacl kom muta Egypt ah me. Kom fah tia sifil ngetang nu ke kutena ma sruloala, ku sifil nunku ke acn Egypt.”
Thus I will make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom from the land of Egypt, so that thou shall not lift up thine eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more.
28 Pa inge ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk: “Nga ac fah eiskomyang nu sin mwet su kom kwase ac kasrkusrak se.
For thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of those whom thou hate, into the hand of those from whom thy soul is alienated.
29 Na mweyen elos kasrkusrak sum uh, elos ac fah eisla ma nukewa ma kom orekma kac uh, ac oru tuh kom in koflufolla, ac monum ikakelik oana sie mutan kosro. Lung koluk ac elahn kosro lom
And they shall deal with thee in hatred, and shall take away all thy labor, and shall leave thee naked and bare. And the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be uncovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
30 pa pwen ma inge nu sum uh. Kom tuh sie mutan kosro nu sin mutunfacl uh, ac sifacna akfohkfokye kom ke ma sruloala lalos.
These things shall be done to thee, because thou have played the harlot after the nations, and because thou are polluted with their idols.
31 Kom fahsrna in falken tamtael se wiom, na pa nga ac sot pac nu sum sie cup in kalya kom in nim.”
Thou have walked in the way of thy sister, therefore I will give her cup into thy hand.
32 LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk, “Kom fah nimnim ke cup lun tamtael wiom; Cup se inge yohk ac loal. Mwet nukewa ac fah aksruksrukye kom ac angon kom; Cup se inge sessesla.
Thus says the lord Jehovah: Thou shall drink of thy sister's cup, which is deep and large. Thou shall be laughed to scorn and had in derision. It contains much.
33 Ac fah oru kom in keok ac sruhila. Cup se inge mwe aksangeng ac mwe kunausla, Cup se inge ma lun Samaria, tamtael wiom.
Thou shall be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.
34 Kom fah nim nwe ke na lisr, Na ke ipin ma fokelik kac uh Kom fah seya iniwom. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge.”
Thou shall even drink it and drain it out. And thou shall gnaw the shards of it, and shall tear thy breasts, for I have spoken it, says the lord Jehovah.
35 Pa inge kas ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk uh: “Mweyen kom mulkinyula ac forla likiyu, kom ac fah keok ke sripen lung koluk lom ac ke elahn kosro lom.”
Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Because thou have forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore thou also bear thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
36 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Mwet sukawil, ya kom akola in nununkal Oholah ac Oholibah? Akkolukyaltal ac fahk ke orekma koluk ma eltal tuh oru ah.
Jehovah said moreover to me, Son of man, will thou judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations.
37 Eltal tuh orek akmas ac kosro — kosro nu ke ma sruloala, ac akmas ke wen natultal ma eltal uniya, su ac ma nutik. Eltal kisakin wen nutik inge nu ke ma sruloala.
For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands. And with their idols they have committed adultery. And they have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass through the fire for them to be devoured.
38 Tia pa ingan mukena ma koluk eltal oru uh. Eltal akfohkfokye Tempul luk, ac aklusrongtenye len Sabbath su nga oakiya.
Moreover they have done this to me: They have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths.
39 Len se na ma eltal uniya tulik nutik inge in kisakin nu ke ma sruloala ah, eltal tuku ac akfohkfokye Tempul luk!
For when they had slain their sons to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it, and, lo, thus they have done in the midst of my house.
40 “Eltal nuna sap na sap in suli mukul in tuku nu yoroltal yen loesla me, ac mwet inge tuku. Tamtael luo inge ac yihla, ac sang mwe yun ac wek saok nu ke manoltal.
And furthermore ye have sent for men who come from far, to whom a messenger was sent. And, lo, they came, for whom thou washed thyself, painted thine eyes, and decked thyself with ornaments,
41 Eltal ac muta fin mwe muta fisrasrsrasr, ac filiya sie tepu ma nwanala ke ma kato ac wo oan ye mutaltal, su ma inge pa ma keng ac oil in olive su nga sang nu seltal.
and sat upon a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon thou did set my incense and my oil.
42 Pusren mwet mutwata yoroltal inge ku in lohngyuk, ac mwet pus ac tuku oe yen mwesis me nu yoroltal. Elos sang mwe lohlpo nu ke paoltal, ac mwe yun in tefuro nu ke sifaltal.
And the voice of a multitude being at ease was with her. And with men of the common sort, were brought drunkards from the wilderness, and they put bracelets upon the hands of those two women, and beautiful crowns upon their heads.
43 Ac nga fahk nu sik sifacna mu elos oru nu sin mutan se ma totola ke moul in kosro lal uh, oana elan sie mutan su kukakin manol.
Then I said of her who was old in adulteries, Now they will play the harlot with her, and she with them.
44 Elos nuna kalwenina in fahsr nu yurin mutan kosro inge. Elos folok na nu yorol Oholah ac Oholibah, mutan na fohkfok moul la luo inge.
And they went in to her, as they go in to a harlot. So they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women.
45 Mwet ma suwohs moul la uh ac nununkalos ke kosro ac akmas, mweyen eltal orek kosro, ac paoltal tuhnla ke srah.”
And righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands.
46 Pa inge kas ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk uh: “Use sie un mwet an in aksangengyaltal ac pisrala ma laltal uh.
For thus says the lord Jehovah: I will bring up a company against them, and will give them to be tossed to and fro and robbed.
47 Lela un mwet se inge in tanglaltal ac lainultal ke cutlass, uniya tulik natultal, ac esukak lohm seltal uh.
And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords. They shall kill their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.
48 Nga ac fah tulokinya ma koluk in tia sifil orek in acn inge nufon, in oana sie mwe akkalemye nu sin mutan tuh elos in tia orek kosro oana ke mutan luo inge oru ah.
Thus I will cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do according to your lewdness.
49 Na komtal, tamtael luo ingan, nga fah kalyei komtal ke ma koluk lomtal ac ke sripen komtal alu nu ke ma sruloala. Na komtal ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD Fulatlana.”
And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols. And ye shall know that I am the lord Jehovah.
