Ezekiel 11

1 Eka Roho mar Nyasaye notingʼa malo mokela nyaka e dhoranga od Jehova Nyasaye mochomo yo wuok chiengʼ. E dhorangach kanyo, ne nitie ji piero ariyo gabich, to ji ariyo kuomgi ne gin Jazania wuod Azur kod Pelatia wuod Benaya, mane gin jotend ji.

Then the Spirit picked me up and took me to the eastern entrance of the Lord's Temple. Twenty-five men were gathered there at the entrance. I recognized among them Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.

2 Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Wuod dhano, magi e joma chano timbe maricho kendo mangʼado riekni maricho e dalani.

The Lord told me, “Son of man, it's these men who are making evil plans and giving bad advice to the people in this city.

3 Giwacho ni, ‘Donge kinde mag gero udi osechopo machiegni? Dala maduongʼni en agulu mitede, to wan to wan ringʼo!’

They're saying, ‘Is this the time for us to be building houses? The city is the cooking pot, and we are the meat inside it.’

4 Kuom mano, yaye wuod dhano, kor wach kendo ikor wach kuomgi mak iweyo.”

So prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man!”

5 Eka Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kuoma, kendo nonyisa kama: Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho, yaye dhood Israel, angʼeyo gik ma uwacho kendo gik ma uparo e chunyu.

The Spirit of the Lord came upon me and told me to say: This is what the Lord says: “People of Israel, that's what you're saying! I know what you're thinking inside!

6 Usenego ji mangʼeny e dala maduongʼni mi upongʼo yorene gi ringre joma otho.

You murder more and more people in this city. You've filled its streets with the dead!

7 Emomiyo Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho kama: Ringre joma otho ma usepuko kanyo e ringʼo, to dala maduongʼni e agulu, kaka uwachono, to abiro riembou mi agolu oko.

So this is what the Lord God says: Those you've killed in this city are the meat, and the city is the pot; but I'm going to take you out of it.

8 Uluoro ligangla, to liganglano ema abiro tiekougo, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto owacho.

You're afraid of being killed by the sword, so I will bring invaders with swords to attack you, declares the Lord God.

9 Abiro riembou oko e dala maduongʼni mi aketu e lwet ogendini mamoko mabiro sandou.

I'm going to take you out of the city and hand you over to foreigners, and I'm going to carry out my sentence against you.

10 Ubiro podho e lak ligangla, kendo abiro kelonu chandruok e tongʼ ka tongʼ mar Israel. Eka unungʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.

You will be killed by the sword, and I will punish you right up to the borders of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

11 Dala maduongʼni ok nobednu agulu, to un bende ok nubed ringʼo e iye. Abiro kelonu chandruok e tongʼ duto mag Israel.

The city won't be like a pot for you, and you won't be the meat inside it either. I will punish you right up to the borders of Israel.

12 Kendo unungʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye, nikech ok useluwo buchena kata rito chikena, to useluwo mana yore mag ogendini molworou.

Then you will know that I am the Lord. For you didn't follow my rules and you didn't keep my laws. Instead you kept the laws of the nations around you.”

13 Kane pod akoro wach kamano, Pelatia wuod Benaya notho. Eka napodho piny auma kendo aywak gi dwol maduongʼ kawacho niya, “Yaye, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, bende ditiek pep jo-Israel mane otony kamano adier?”

While I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. I fell facedown on the ground and shouted loudly, “Lord God, are you going to completely destroy what's left of the people of Israel?”

14 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

A message from Lord came to me, saying,

15 “Wuod dhano, oweteni, ma gin oweteni mahie kendo ma wedeni moa e rembu kod dhood Israel duto, ema jo-Jerusalem osewuoyo kuomgi kawacho ni, ‘Gisedhi mabor gi Jehova Nyasaye, kendo lopni osemiwa kaka girkeni marwa.’

“Son of man, your brothers, including your relatives, your fellow exiles, and all the other Israelites, are those the people of Jerusalem were referring to when they said, ‘They are far away from the Lord. This country was given to us and we are to own it.’

16 “Kuom mano wach ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Kata obedo ni ne ariembogi mabor ahinya e dier ogendini kendo ne akeyogi e dier pinje, to kuom kinde matin asebedonegi kama ler mar lemo e pinje ma gisedhiyego.’

So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: Even though I sent them far away to live among the foreign nations, scattering them among the different countries, I have been taking care of them for a while in the countries where they went.

17 “Kuom mano wach ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Abiro chokou kagolou e pinje ma osekeyoue, kendo abiro dwogonu piny Israel.’

Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: I'm going to gather you from the other nations and bring you back from the countries where you've been scattered, and I will return the country of Israel to you.

18 “Gibiro dok e piny Israel mi gigol nyiseche manono kod kido mopa mage.

When they come back, they are going to get rid of all its offensive idols and disgusting practices from the country.

19 Anamigi chuny ma ok parre, kendo anaket chuny manyien eigi; abiro golo kuomgi chuny matek ka lwanda kendo anachwenegi chuny manyien.

I will give them single-minded commitment and a whole new spirit. I will take away their hard-hearted attitude and replace it with one that is loving.

20 Eka ginilu buchena kendo ginibed gi chuny mar rito chikena. Ginibed joga, kendo anabed Nyasachgi.

This way they can follow my rules, keep my regulations, and do what I say. They will be my people, and I will be their God.

21 Abiro kumo joma chunygi otwere kuom kido mag-gi maricho kod nyisechegi manono. Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.”

But for those who still choose to worship offensive idols and engage in disgusting practices, I will let them experience the consequences of their own actions, declares the Lord God.”

22 Eka kerubi, kaachiel gi tiende ka ni e bathgi, noyaro bwombegi, kendo duongʼ mar Nyasach Israel ne ni e wigi gimalo.

Then the cherubim opened their wings and took off, with the wheels alongside them, and with the glory of the God of Israel above them.

23 Duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye nodhi malo koa ei dala maduongʼ kendo nochungʼ ewi got man yo wuok chiengʼ mar dalano.

The glory of the Lord rose from inside the city and went over to the mountain to the east of the city.

24 Roho mar Nyasaye notingʼa motera nyaka ir jogo mane ni e twech e piny Babulon, ka an e fweny mane Roho mar Nyasaye omiya. Eka fweny mane asenenono noa moweya,

In the vision given to me by the Spirit of God, the Spirit picked me up and carried me back to Babylonia to where the exiles were. After the vision left me,

25 kendo ne anyiso jogo mane ni e twechgo gik moko duto mane Jehova Nyasaye osenyisa.

I explained to the exiles everything the Lord had shown me.
