Ezekiel 23
1 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
The LORD’s word 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.
They played the prostitute in Egypt. They played the prostitute in their youth. Their breasts were fondled there, and their youthful nipples were caressed there.
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.
Their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister. They became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. 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.
“Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine. 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 on 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.
She gave herself as a prostitute to them, all of them the choicest men of Assyria. She defiled herself with the idols of whomever she lusted after.
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.
She hasn’t left her prostitution since leaving Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her. They caressed her youthful nipples and they poured out their prostitution on 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 on 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. She became a byword among women; for they executed judgments on her.
11 Tamtael wial ah, Oholibah, el ne liye ma inge, el koluk yohk lukel Oholah ke moul in kosro lal uh.
“Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was more corrupt in her lusting than she, and in her prostitution which was more depraved than the prostitution 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 lusted after the Assyrians, governors and rulers—her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on 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.
I saw that she was defiled. They both went the same 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,
“She increased her prostitution; for she saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Kasdim portrayed with red,
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.
dressed with belts on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like princes, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Kasdim, the land of their birth.
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.
As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them into Kasdimah.
17 Ac mukul Babylonia inge tuku oan yorol, ac elos akkolukyalla nwe ke na el srungalosla.
The Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their prostitution. 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 prostitution and uncovered her nakedness. Then my soul was alienated from her, just like 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 prostitution, remembering the days of her youth, in which she had played the prostitute 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.” (
She lusted after their lovers, 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 you called to memory the lewdness of your youth, in the caressing of your nipples by the Egyptians because of your youthful breasts.
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, Oholibah, the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will raise up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them against you 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 Kasdim, Pekod, Shoa, Koa, and all the Assyrians with them; all of them desirable young men, governors and rulers, princes and men of renown, all of them riding on 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.
They will come against you with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a company of peoples. They will set themselves against you with buckler, shield, and helmet all around. I will commit the judgment to them, and they will judge you 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.
I will set my jealousy against you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will take away your nose and your ears. Your remnant will fall by the sword. They will take your sons and your daughters; and the rest of you will be devoured by the fire.
26 Elos ac fah sacla nuknuk lom an, ac eisla mwe yun saok nukewa lom.
They will also strip you of your clothes and take away your beautiful 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 your lewdness to cease from you, and remove your prostitution from the land of Egypt, so that you will not lift up your 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 the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will deliver you into the hand of them whom you hate, into the hand of them from whom your 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
They will deal with you in hatred, and will take away all your labor, and will leave you naked and bare. The nakedness of your prostitution will be uncovered, both your lewdness and your prostitution.
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 will be done to you because you have played the prostitute after the nations, and because you 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.”
You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore I will give her cup into your 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.
“The Lord GOD says: ‘You will drink of your sister’s cup, which is deep and large. You will be ridiculed and held 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.
You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of your 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.”
You will even drink it and drain it out. You will gnaw the broken pieces of it, and will tear your breasts; for I have spoken it,’ says the Lord GOD.
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 the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have forgotten me and cast me behind your back, therefore you also bear your lewdness and your prostitution.’”
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.
The LORD said moreover to me: “Son of man, will you 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. They have committed adultery with their idols. They have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass through the fire to 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 this they have done 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 children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and behold, they have done this in the middle 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.
“Furthermore you sisters have sent for men who come from far away, to whom a messenger was sent, and behold, they came; for whom you washed yourself, painted your eyes, decorated yourself 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 on a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon you 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.
“The voice of a multitude being at ease was with her. With men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets on their hands, and beautiful crowns on 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 prostitute 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.
They went in to her, as they go in to a prostitute. 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.”
Righteous men will judge them with the judgment of adulteresses and with the judgment of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is in 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 the Lord GOD says: ‘I will bring up a mob against them, and will give them to be tossed back and forth and robbed.
47 Lela un mwet se inge in tanglaltal ac lainultal ke cutlass, uniya tulik natultal, ac esukak lohm seltal uh.
The company will stone them with stones and dispatch them with their swords. They will 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 be lewd like you.
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.”
They will recompense your lewdness on you, and you will bear the sins of your idols. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’”
