Da Israel Peopo Go Agains God
1 Da numba seven year dat us guys stay prisonas Babylon side, Augus 14, da older leadas fo da Israel peopo come by me fo find out wat Da One In Charge tell. Dey sit down in front me.
2 An get one message from Da One In Charge fo me tell um. He tell:
3 “Eh! Fo Real Kine Guy! Tell da older leadas fo da Israel peopo: Dis wat me Da One In Charge, da Boss, tell: You guys stay come by Ezekiel fo find out wat I tell, aah? Fo shua I stay alive, an fo shua I no goin tell you guys notting wen you aks me stuff. Az wat me Da One In Charge, da Boss, tell.
4 “Eh! Fo Real Kine Guy! Go judge dem fo wat dey wen do. Make shua dey know was pilau, da kine stuff dea ancesta guys wen do.
5 Tell um: Dis wat Da One In Charge, da Boss, tell: Da time I wen pick da Israel peopo fo come my peopo, I put up my right hand an make one strong promise to da Jacob ohana. Wen I wen show up fo da peopo see me befo dey leave da Egypt land I tell um, ‘Me, Da One In Charge, I da God fo you guys!’
6 Dat day I make one strong promise to dem: ‘I goin bring you guys outa Egypt fo go one land I wen pick fo you. Az one land dat get plenny milk an honey, da mos beautiful land from all da odda lands.’
7 An I tell um, ‘All you guys, throw out all yoa horraz kine idol gods you guys like look at. No come pilau wit da idol kine gods from Egypt. Do dis, cuz az me, Da One In Charge, yoa God!’ ”
8 But dey wen go agains me an no like lissen me. Dey no throw out all dea horraz kine idol gods dat dey like look at. An dey no bag from da idol kine gods from Egypt. So I tell dat I goin show how mad I stay agains dem, an pay dem back befo dey leave da Egypt land.
9 But fo keep my good rep, I make shua da odda peopos aroun dem no give me one bad rep. Cuz dose odda peopos see wat I do, da time I let da Israel peopo see me an I bring um outa Egypt.
10 Az why I bring dem outa Egypt an make um go inside da boonies.
11 I tell dem wat dey gotta do, an make shua dey know wat I tell um bout wass right an wass wrong. Cuz whoeva lissen my rules, dey goin stay alive if dey do um.
12 An I give dem da days dat stay spesho fo me too fo stay jalike one sign fo dem an fo me. Make shua dey no foget was me, Da One In Charge, wen make da days spesho fo me.
13 But da Israel ohana wen go agains me inside da boonies. Dey no live da way I tell um dey gotta live, an dey bag from wat I tell um bout wass right an wass wrong. Cuz whoeva lissen my rules, dey goin stay alive if dey do um. An da Israel ohana guys make all my Res Days come real pilau. So I wen tell dat I goin stay huhu wit dem an wipe um out ova dea inside da boonies.
14 But cuz I get one good rep, az why I make shua da odda peopos aroun dem no give me one pilau name. Cuz dose odda peopos see wat I do, da time I bring da Israel peopo outa Egypt.
15 An I do anodda ting too. Inside da boonies I wen make one strong promise dat no way I goin bring dem inside da land I wen give dem, one land dat get plenny milk an honey, da mos beautiful land from all da odda lands.
16 Az cuz da Israel ohana guys bag from wat I tell um bout wass right an wass wrong, an dey no live da way I tell um dey gotta live. Dey make all my Res Days an all da odda days dat stay spesho fo me come real pilau cuz dey like stay tight wit dea idol kine gods.
17 But wen I see how dey stay, I tell, “Pooa ting!” Az why I no wipe dem out inside da boonies.
18 Inside da boonies, I tell dea kids, “No stick wit da rules yoa faddah guys wen make! No stick wit da tings dey tell you bout wass right an wass wrong! No go come pilau wit dea idol kine gods!
19 Me, I yoa God, Da One In Charge. Stick wit da rules I wen make, an wit wat I tell you guys bout wass right an wass wrong.
20 Make da days dat stay spesho fo me, come real spesho fo you, fo dem be jalike one sign fo tell dat me an you stay tight wit each odda. Den you goin know dat me Da One In Charge, I yoa God.
21 “You know awready, dat whoeva lissen wat I teach, dey goin get da real kine life wen dey do um. But even da kids go agains me. Dey no follow da rules I wen make. Dey no live da way I wen tell you guys fo live. Dey no follow wat you tell um bout wass right an wass wrong. An da kids make da days dat stay spesho fo me come pilau. Az why I wen tell dat I goin show how mad I stay agains dem. Cuz a eryting dey do, dat time I stay ready fo wipe um out ova dea inside da boonies.
22 But I neva do all dat cuz I get one good rep. Az why I make shua da odda peopos aroun dem no give me one pilau name cuz a who me. Cuz dey see wat wen happen wen I bring da peopo outa Egypt.
23 An I wen make one strong promise inside da boonies dat I goin scatta dem all ova wea da odda peopos live.
24 I tell um dat cuz dey no lissen wat I tell um bout wass right an wass wrong fo dem do. Dey bag from my rules. Dey make da days dat stay spesho fo me come pilau, an dey tink ony bout da idol kine gods dea faddah guys wen pray to.
25 Was me, Da One In Charge, dat let um follow da rules dat stay no good, an live da way dat no goin work. But dey no can live lidat.
26 I make dem come pilau from all da tings I wen give dem. Az why dey kill dea firs bebe, an burn up da body fo make one sacrifice. Cuz a dat, dey goin tink how horraz dey ack, an know dass me, Da One In Charge, dat do dat to dem.
27 “Eh! Fo Real Kine Guy! Az why you gotta tell da Israel peopo dis: ‘Dis wat Da One In Charge, da Boss, tell: Ova an ova, yoa ancesta guys wen talk bad bout me. Da way dey ack, I no can trus dem!
28 I wen bring dem inside da land dat I wen make one strong promise fo give dem. But den, erytime dey see one high hill o one tree wit plenny leafs, dass wea dey make dea sacrifices dat make me come huhu. Dass wea dey put out dea stuffs dat smell nice an make you feel good. Dey pour out dea drink sacrifice dea too.’
29 Den I tell dem: ‘Wat dis sacrifice place on top da hill wea you guys stay go?’ ” (Dey still yet call um “Da Sacrifice Place.”)
