Ezekiel 34
1 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Kom, mwet sukawil moul la, fahkak kas in palu lain mwet kol lun Israel. Kaskas nu selos ac fahk kas ma nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk nu selos inge: We nu suwos, kowos mwet shepherd lun Israel! Kowos sifacna karinginkowosyang, ac tia karingin sheep uh.
“Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds who lead Israel. Prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord God says: Disaster is coming to the shepherds of Israel, who only look after themselves, and not the sheep! Shouldn't shepherds make sure their flock is fed?
3 Kowos numla milk, ac nukum nuknuk ma orekla ke unen sheep, ac uni sheep ma wo oemeet uh ac kang ikwa kac. A kowos tiana liyaung sheep uh.
You eat the cream, you use the wool for clothes, and you slaughter the fattened sheep, but you don't feed the flock.
4 Kowos tiana karingin sheep ma munas, ku akkeyala ma mas uh, ku pwelah acn kinet kaclos. Kowos tia folokunma ma som liki un sheep uh, ku suk ma tuhlac uh. Kowos tia oru ma inge, a kowos oralos arulana koluk.
You haven't taken care of the weak, healed the sick, bandaged the injured, brought home the strays, or looked for the lost. On the contrary, you ruled them using violence and cruelty.
5 Ke sripen wangin shepherd lun sheep uh, oru elos fahsrelik nu in acn puspis, ac kosro lemnak uh onelosi ac kangulosla.
They were scattered because they didn't have a shepherd. When they scattered they were preyed on by all the wild animals for food.
6 Na sheep nutik uh som nu yen fulat fin inging uh ac nu fineol uh. Elos fahsrelik nu in acn nukewa fin faclu, ac wangin mwet srike in som sokolos, ku konalosyak.
My sheep strayed, going to all the mountains and high hills. They were scattered everywhere, and there was no one to go and look for them.
7 “Ke ma inge, kowos mwet shepherd, porongo ma nga, LEUM GOD, fahk nu suwos.
So, you shepherds, listen to what the Lord has to say:
8 Ke sripen nga pa God moul, kowos enenu in porongo kas luk inge. Kosro lemnak uh elos uniya sheep nutik uh ac kangla mweyen wangin mwet shepherd lalos. Mwet shepherd luk uh tiana srike in konalosyak. Elos sifacna taranulos ac tia liyaung sheep uh.
As I live, declares the Lord God, because my sheep didn't have a shepherd and were preyed on by all the wild animals for food, and because my shepherds didn't look after my sheep but instead only fed themselves,
9 Ouinge, kowos mwet shepherd, porongeyu.
so, you shepherds, you listen to what the Lord has to say!
10 Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahkot lah nga lain kowos. Nga ac fah eisla sheep nutik uh liki kowos, ac tia sifilpa lela kowos in mwet shepherd lalos. Nga ac fah tia sifil lela kowos in sifacna taran kowos. Nga ac fah molela sheep nutik uh liki kowos, ac tia sifil lela kowos in kang.
This is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning the shepherds, and I will take my sheep back and stop them looking after the sheep so they won't be able to feed themselves anymore. I will take away my sheep from them, and I won't let them eat the sheep anymore.
11 “Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk nu suwos lah nga ac fah sifacna sokak sheep nutik ac liyalosyang,
For this is what the Lord God says: Watch as I myself will go looking for my sheep, searching to find them.
12 oana ke sie mwet shepherd ac liyaung sheep natul ma fahsrelik, ac sifil oraloseni. Nga ac fah folokunulosme liki acn nukewa ma elos fahsrelik nu we ke len in ongoiya ac lohsr sac.
Just like a shepherd goes looking for his lost sheep when he is with the flock, so I will look for my sheep. I will rescue them from everywhere they were scattered on a dark and dismal day.
13 Nga ac fah eisalos liki mutunfacl saya nukewa ma elos fahsrelik nu we, ac oraloseni nu sie, ac folokunulosme nu in facl selos sifacna. Nga ac fah kololosla nu fineol ac infacl srisrik lun acn Israel. Ac nga fah kitalos in ima wolana.
I will take them out from among the other nations. I will gather them from the different countries, and bring them back to their own country. Like a shepherd I will have them feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the valleys and everywhere that people live in the country.
14 Nga fah lela elos in mongo yen tupasrpasr nukewa in acn Israel — yen folfol insroan mah nalos fineol uh ac infahlfal uh, yen wangin ma ac akkolukyalos we.
I will provide them with good pasture and places to graze in the high mountains of Israel. They will also be able to rest there in the good pasture and in the places to graze in mountains of Israel.
15 Nga sifacna ac fah mwet shepherd nu sin sheep nutik uh, ac nga fah sokak acn in mongla lalos. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge.
I myself will look after my sheep and give them a place to rest, declares the Lord God.
16 “Nga fah sokolos su tuhlac, folokunulosme su fahla liki un sheep uh, ac pwelah kinet kaclos, ac akkeyalosla su mas. Tusruktu elos su fact ac ku nga ac fah kunauselosla, mweyen nga sie shepherd su oru ma suwohs.
I will go looking for the lost, bring home the strays, bandage the injured, and strengthen the weak. However, I will destroy those who are fat and strong. Because I do what's right, I will be sure to take care of them.
17 “Ke ma inge, kowos un kosro nutik, nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahkot nu suwos lah nga ac fah nununku kais soko suwos, ac srela ma wo liki ma koluk uh — sheep uh liki nani uh.
My flock, this is what the Lord God says to you: Watch, because I will judge between one sheep and the next, between the rams and the goats.
18 Kutu suwos sufalkin mah wowo ma kowos kang, na lolongya mah kowos tia kangla uh! Kowos nim kof nasnas, ac lohsrngokeak ma kowos tia numla uh!
Aren't you satisfied with feeding in good pasture? Do you have to trample down the rest of the pasture with your feet? Aren't you satisfied to drink the clear water? Do you have to muddy the rest of it with your feet?
19 Na sheep nutik ngia enenu in kang mah ma kowos lolongya, ac nim kof kowos lohsrngokeak uh.
Why does my flock have to feed on what your feet have trampled down, and drink the water that your feet have muddied?
20 “Ke ma inge, nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fahk nu suwos lah nga ac fah nununku inmasrlon sheep ku ac sheep munas uh.
That's why the Lord God says to them: Watch, because I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the skinny sheep.
21 Kowos sinukunla ma mas uh nu saya, ac fakselosla liki un kosro uh.
Since you push others around with your sides and your shoulders, and use your horns to attack all the weak ones until you have chased them away,
22 Tusruktu nga ac fah molela sheep nutik uh, ac tia lela in sifil orek elos koluk. Nga ac fah nununku kais soko sheep nutik, ac srela ma wo uh liki ma koluk uh.
I will rescue my flock, and they will no longer be your victims. I will judge between one sheep and the next.
23 Nga ac fah sang sie tokosra lalos in oana David, mwet kulansap luk, elan mwet shepherd sefanna lalos, ac el ac fah liyalosyang.
I will put one shepherd in charge of them, my servant David, and he will take care of them. He will take care of them and be their shepherd.
24 Nga, LEUM GOD, ac fah God lalos, ac sie tokosra oana David, mwet kulansap luk, ac fah leum faclos. Nga pa fahk ma inge.
I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David will be their leader. I the Lord have spoken.
25 Nga fah orala sie wuleang in misla yorolos, tuh in wangin mwe lokoalok nu selos. Nga ac fah lusla kosro sulallal nukewa ma muta fin acn uh, tuh sheep nutik uh in ku in muta wo inima uh, ac motul insak uh.
I will make an agreement of peace with them, and get rid of the wild animals from the country, so that they can live safely in the wilderness and sleep securely in the forest.
26 “Nga ac fah akinsewowoyalos ac oru elos in muta raunella fineol mutal sik. Ingo nga fah sang af in akinsewowoyalos ke pacl elos enenu.
I will bless them and everywhere around my hill. I will send rain at the right time. They will be showers of blessing.
27 Sak we ac ima we ac fah isus fahko, ac mwet nukewa ac fah muta in misla in acn sel sifacna. Pacl se nga ac aksukosokye mwet luk liki inpoun mwet akkohsyalos, ac wotela mwe kapir lalos, na elos ac fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.
The trees in the orchards will produce their fruit; the earth will grow its crops; and my flock will be live in safety in their country. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I break their yokes of slavery, and set them free from those who made them slaves.
28 Mutunfacl saya ac fah tia sifil pisre ma lalos, ac kosro lemnak ac fah tia onelosi ac kangulosla. Elos fah mutana in misla, ac wangin mwet fah sifil aksangengyalos.
They won't be the victims of other nations anymore, and wild animals won't eat them. They will live in safety, and no one will terrorize them.
29 Nga ac sang nu selos acn ma wo fohk we, ac elos ac fah tia sifil masrinsral. Mutunfacl saya ac fah tia sifil isrunulos.
I will make their fields produce remarkable harvests, and they won't suffer famine in their country again or be mocked by others.
30 Mwet nukewa ac fah etu lah nga karingin acn Israel, ac elos mwet luk. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, pa fahk ma inge.
Then they will know that I am with them as the Lord their God, and that the people of Israel belong to me, declares the Lord God.
31 “Kowos sheep nutik, ac un kosro su nga kite. Kowos mwet luk, ac nga God lowos.” LEUM GOD Fulatlana pa fahk ma inge.
You are my sheep, the sheep that I feed. You are my people, and I am your God, declares the Lord God.”
