Ezekiel 12
1 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
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.
“You human, you are living among people who are [very] rebellious. They have eyes, but they do not [what I want them to see]; they have ears, but they do not [what I want them to hear], because they are rebellious/stubborn 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.
Therefore, you human, pack your belongings as though you were (going into exile/being forced to go to another country). Then, during the daytime, while people are watching, [prepare to] go to another place. Even though the people are rebellious, perhaps they will [what you are symbolizing].
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.
During the daytime, while they are watching, bring out the things that you want to take and pack them. Then in the evening, while they are watching, do what those who are preparing to go into exile do.
5 Ka gineni kamano, pow kor ot kendo gol misiki midhigo e twech gi kama ipowono.
Dig through [city] wall and take your things 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.”
Then put [in a sack] on your shoulder while they are watching and leave at dusk. Cover your face in order that you cannot see the path. [I want you to do this] because I want you to warn the Israeli people.”
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 what Yahweh told me to do. During the day I brought things out of my [as though] I was packing to go into exile. Then in the evening I dug through [city] wall. [Then] while people watched, I put my sack of belongings on my shoulder and left.
8 To kinyne gokinyi wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
The next morning, Yahweh gave me this message:
9 Wuod dhano, donge dhood jo-Israel ma jongʼanyogo nopenji niya, En angʼo mitimoni?
“You human, the rebellious people [MTY] of Israel 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.’
[So go back and] say to them, ‘What I did is about the king in Jerusalem and all the [other] people of Israel who are there.’
11 Wachnegi ni, ‘An ranyisi ni un!’ “Mana kaka asetimono e kaka ibiro timo nigi. Gibiro dhi e twech kaka joma omaki.
Tell [them], ‘[What I did] is a warning to you.’ What has happened to you will happen to them. They will be captured and forced to go to another country.
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.
Their king will put his belongings on his shoulder at dusk and leave. [His servants] will dig a hole through the city wall, [and he will take his belongings] through it. He will cover his face in order [others will not recognize] him.
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.
[it will be as though] I will spread a net for [to be captured]; [enemy soldiers will] capture him and take him to [city]. But he will [be able to] see it; and there he will die.
14 Abiro keyo jodonge, joma ngʼadone rieko, kod joma rite ne yembe, kendo ji nodwar mondo oneg-gi to ok noyudgi.
I will scatter in all directions [IDM] all those who have been around him—his advisors and his soldiers—and I will cause his enemies to pursue them, with their swords ready to strike them.
15 “Gibiro ngʼeyo ni An e Jehova Nyasaye, e kinde ma anabolgi e dier ogendini kendo akegi e dier pinje.
Then, when I scatter them among many nations [DOU], they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
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 spare/save a few of them from being killed by swords and from dying from famines or plagues, with the result that in the nations to which they are forced to go, they will realize/admit that they have been doing disgusting things, and they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
17 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona ni:
Then Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
18 “Wuod dhano, sa ma ichiemo kata imodho pigi to tetni ka gima kibaji ogoyi.
“You human, tremble while you eat your food, and shudder fearfully while 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.
Tell [this to] the Israeli people: 'This is what Yahweh the Lord says about those who are [still] living in Jerusalem and [other places in] Israel: They also will be very anxious/worried [DOU] while they eat their food and drink their water, because their country will [soon] have everything taken away. That will happen because the people who live there [continually] act [very] violently.
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 where people live will be devastated, and the land will become barren/empty. Then you people will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].'”

Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
22 “Wuod dhano, ma en ngero manade ma ugoyo e piny Israel ni, ‘Ndalo dhi adhiya, to pok wasenene fweny moro amora kotimore?’
“You human, the people in Israel have this proverb/saying: ‘The days pass, and [the prophets] predict never happens.’
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 say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: I am going to prove that (what they say/that proverb) is not correct, and then they will never say that again in Israel.’ Tell them, ‘It will soon be the time when everything that the prophets have predicted will happen.
24 Nimar fweny mag miriambo kod weche mikoro miwuondogo ji ok nochak obedi e dier jo-Israel.
No longer [false prophets tell] to the Israeli people false visions, or prophecies that try to please people.
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.”
Instead, I, Yahweh, will say what I want to tell the people, and what I predict will quickly happen. You rebellious people, I will cause to happen everything that I say will happen. [That is what I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say.’”
26 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
Yahweh also gave me this message:
27 Wuod dhano, dhood Israel wacho ni, Fweny moneno gin mag higni mathoth ma pod biro nyime, kendo okoro weche mag higni manyime.
“You human, the Israeli people are [constantly] saying [about you], ‘The things that he sees in [will not happen soon]. They are [things that will happen] many years from now, far in the 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.”
Therefore say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord [DOU] says: I will no longer [causing to happen] any of the things that I have prophesied. Whatever I have predicted [very soon] happen.’”
