Ezekiel 12

1 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

A message from the Lord came to me, saying,

2 “Wuod dhano, idak e dier joma jongʼanyo. Gin gi wenge mondo ginen-go to ok ginen, kendo gin gi itgi mondo giwinjgo, to ok giwinj wach, nikech gin joma jongʼanyo.

“Son of man, you are living among rebellious people. They have eyes to see but they don't see, and ears to hear but they don't hear, because they are rebellious people.

3 “Kuom mano, wuod dhano, kaw gigi midhigo e twech, mana godiechiengʼ ka gineni, wuogi ia kama intie idhi kamachielo. Dipo ka mano omiyo giwinjo tiend wach, kata obedo ni gin anywola ma jongʼanyo kamano.

So, son of man, go and pack your bags as if you're going into exile. As people watch, get everything ready during the day so you can leave where you are and go somewhere else. Maybe they will realize what this means, even though they are rebellious people.

4 Godiechiengʼ ka piny ler, kendo ka gineni, kaw gigi miseiko mar dhi e twech. To kochopo odhiambo e kinde ma chiengʼ podho, to we mondo gineni mana ka ngʼama itero twech.

Take your bags out for traveling into exile during the day while they watch. But you yourself are to leave in the evening as they watch, just like someone going into exile.

5 Ka gineni kamano, pow kor ot kendo gol misiki midhigo e twech gi kama ipowono.

While they go on watching, knock down part of the wall of your house and take your belongings out through the hole.

6 Ketgi e goki mana ka gineni kendo itingʼ-gi ia kodgi ka piny yuso. Um lela wangʼi, mondo kik ine piny giwangʼi, nikech aseketi ranyisi ne dhood Israel.”

When it gets dark, as they continue to watch, put your bags on your shoulder and carry them as you leave. Cover your face so that you can't see the country you're leaving behind, because I'm providing you as a sign to warn the people of Israel.”

7 Omiyo ne atimo kaka ne ochika. Ne agolo misika mane aseiko ne wuodh dhi e twech godiechiengʼ. Eka godhiambo ka chiengʼ dhi podho ne akunyo kor ot gi lwetena. Ne akawo giga awuokgo ka piny oyuso, ka atingʼogi e gokena koni gi koni ka gineno.

So I did as I was told. I took my bags out to go into exile during the day, and in the evening I knocked down part of the wall of my house with my bare hands. I took my belongings out when it got dark, carrying them on my shoulder while they watched.

8 To kinyne gokinyi wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

In the morning a message from the Lord came to me, saying,

9 Wuod dhano, donge dhood jo-Israel ma jongʼanyogo nopenji niya, En angʼo mitimoni?

“Son of man, haven't those rebellious Israelites asked you, ‘What are you doing?’

10 “Nyisgi ni ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho kama: ‘Oteni oor ne wuod ruoth man Jerusalem kod oganda mar dhood Israel duto man kanyo.’

Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: ‘This prophetic sign concerns the prince who is ruling in Jerusalem and all the people of Israel who are living there.’

11 Wachnegi ni, ‘An ranyisi ni un!’ “Mana kaka asetimono e kaka ibiro timo nigi. Gibiro dhi e twech kaka joma omaki.

You are to say to them, ‘I'm a sign to you.’ Just as it was demonstrated here, so it will happen to them—they will go into exile as prisoners.

12 “Wuod ruoth manie diergi biro tingʼo misikene e goke ka piny imore mi oa, kendo ibiro powone kor ot mondo okalie. Obiro umo wangʼe mondo kik one piny kuma odhiye.

When it gets dark, their prince will also put his bags on his shoulder and leave. They will knock down the wall to take him away. He will cover his face so he can't see the country he's leaving behind.

13 Abiro rieyone tonda mondo amakego mi kawe komoko e obadhona. Abiro tere nyaka Babulon, piny jo-Kaldea, to kata kamano ok none pinyno gi wangʼe, kendo kuno ema nothoe.

But I will catch him in my net; I will trap him in my snare. I will take him to Babylon in the country of Babylonia. However, won't see it, and he'll die there.

14 Abiro keyo jodonge, joma ngʼadone rieko, kod joma rite ne yembe, kendo ji nodwar mondo oneg-gi to ok noyudgi.

I'm going to scatter all his attendants and all his troops in every direction, and I will chase after them with a drawn sword.

15 “Gibiro ngʼeyo ni An e Jehova Nyasaye, e kinde ma anabolgi e dier ogendini kendo akegi e dier pinje.

They will know that I am the Lord when I scatter them among the different nations and countries.

16 To abiro reso jomoko manok kuomgi e dho ligangla gi kech, kod masiche, mondo e pinje ma gidhiyego ginyis jogo timbegi duto mamono. Eka giningʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.”

But I will let a few of them survive war, famine, and disease so that they can tell the nations where they're exiled about all their disgusting sins. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”

17 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona ni:

A message from the Lord came to me, saying,

18 “Wuod dhano, sa ma ichiemo kata imodho pigi to tetni ka gima kibaji ogoyi.

“Son of man, tremble as you eat your bread; shake with worry as you drink your water.

19 Nyis jo-Juda ni ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho kuom joma odak Jerusalem kod piny Israel: Gibiro chamo chiembgi gi kibaji kendo gibiro modho pigegi ka chunygi parore, nikech ibiro lony pinygi mi we nono li nikech timbe mahundu mag ji duto modak kanyo.

Then explain to the people of this country that this is what the Lord God says to those living in Jerusalem and in the country of Israel: They will be worried as eat their bread and they will be in despair as they drink their water, for their land will be stripped bare because of the violent crimes committed by everyone who lives there.

20 Mier matindo duto ma ji odakie biro dongʼ nono li kendo piny biro dongʼ gunda. Eka unungʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.”

The towns will be destroyed, and the countryside turned into a wasteland. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”

21 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,

22 “Wuod dhano, ma en ngero manade ma ugoyo e piny Israel ni, ‘Ndalo dhi adhiya, to pok wasenene fweny moro amora kotimore?’

“Son of man, what's this proverb you people have in the land of Israel: ‘Time goes by, and no vision comes true’?

23 Nyisgi ni ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Abiro tieko ngeroni, kendo ji ok nochak ogoe kendo e piny Israel. Wachnegi ni, ‘Ndalo okayo machiegni ma fweny duto biro timoree.’

So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: ‘I will put a stop to this proverb. No one in Israel will quote it anymore.’ Instead tell them: The time is soon coming when every vision will come true.

24 Nimar fweny mag miriambo kod weche mikoro miwuondogo ji ok nochak obedi e dier jo-Israel.

There won't be any more false visions or fake prophecies among the Israelites,

25 To an Jehova Nyasaye anawach gima adwaro kendo gino notimre ma ok orem. Nimar e ndalou, un dhood mohero ngʼanyo, abiro timo gimoro amora ma asewacho, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto owacho.”

because I, the Lord, will say whatever I choose to say, and it will happen immediately. Right now, you rebellious people, I will say something and make sure it happens, declares the Lord God.”

26 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

An additional message from the Lord came to me, saying,

27 Wuod dhano, dhood Israel wacho ni, Fweny moneno gin mag higni mathoth ma pod biro nyime, kendo okoro weche mag higni manyime.

“Son of man, notice what the people of Israel are saying, ‘The vision that he's describing won't happen for a long time. He's prophesying about a time in the distant future.’

28 “Kuom mano wachnegi ni ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Onge weche masewacho makoro biro deko, Gimoro amora ma awacho biro chopo kare, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.”

So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: Everything I've said is about to happen. There won't be any more delay, declares the Lord God.”
