Ezekiel 13

1 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

A message from the Lord came to me, saying,

2 “Wuod dhano, kor wach kuom jokoro mag Israel makoro sani. Wachne joma koro gik ma wigi omiyogi kama: ‘Winjuru wach Jehova Nyasaye!

“Son of man, you are to prophesy against the prophets of Israel who right now are busy prophesying. Tell those who make up their own prophecies: Listen to the word of the Lord!

3 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Okwongʼ jokoro mofuwo maluwo mana gik ma chunjegi giwegi oparo to onge gima giseneno!

This is what the Lord God says: Disaster is coming to these foolish prophets who follow their own ideas. They haven't seen anything.

4 Yaye Israel, jokoro magu chalo mana gi ondiegi modak e gunda.

Israel, your prophets are like foxes that live in the ruins.

5 Pod ok udhi mondo udhi ulos ohinga mar Israel momukore mondo obed motegno mar kedo lweny e odiechiengʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye.

They didn't go and help repair the gaps in the wall that defends the people of Israel so that it would stand secure during the battle on the Day of the Lord.

6 Fweny ma gineno ok gin adier kendo gikoro weche mag miriambo. Giwacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye osewacho,” to Jehova Nyasaye to ok oorogi, kendo pod gin gi geno ni weche ma gikorogo biro timore.

The visions they see are false, and the prophecies they give are lies. They claim, ‘This is what the Lord says,’ when the Lord didn't send them. Even so they still expect their message to be fulfilled!

7 Donge fweny ma useneno en miriambo, kendo gik mukoro gin mag wuond ka uwacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye osewacho,” to an Jehova Nyasaye pok awacho gimoro?

Isn't it a false vision that you people saw? Isn't it a prophecy of lies when you announce, ‘This is what the Lord says,’ even though I haven't said anything?

8 “‘Kuom mano ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Nikech wecheu mag miriambo kod weche mukoro mag wuond, akwedou.

So this is what the Lord God says: Since you've spoken lies and claimed to see false visions, then watch out, because I'm against you, declares the Lord God.

9 Abiro kumo jokoro maneno fweny mag miriambo kendo koro weche mag wuond. Ok ginibed e buch joga, kendo nying-gi ok nondiki e kitepe mar dhood Israel, bende ok ginidonji e piny Israel. Eka unungʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto.

I will punish the prophets who see false visions and give prophecies that are lies. They will not belong to the assembly of my people or be listed in the register of Israelites, and they won't be allowed to enter the country of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord God.

10 “‘Nikech gimiyo joga lal, kagiwacho niya, “Kwe,” to kwe to onge, kendo nikech ka ji ogero kor ot mayom yom moro to giwire gi lowo marachar,

They have deceived my people by saying, ‘We shall have peace,’ when there won't be any peace. It's like they're putting a coat of whitewash on an unstable wall of loose stones that the people have built.

11 kuom mano, nyis joma wire gi lowo marachar ni obiro podho. Koth maduongʼ biro chue, kendo abiro oro pe madongo dongo, kod yamb ahiti makudho matek.

So tell those people whitewashing the wall that it's going to collapse. Rain will come pouring down. I will send hailstones crashing down on it. A windstorm will blow hard against it.

12 Ka ohinga oruombore piny, to donge ji nopenju niya, “To lowo marachar mane uwirego cha koro ere?”

Don't you think that when the wall collapses people are going to ask you, ‘What happened to the whitewash you painted it with?’

13 “‘Kuom mano, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho kama: Kuom mirimba mager abiro kelo yamb ahiti, kendo kuom mirimba abiro kelo koth maduongʼ kod pe mi oketh ohingano chuth.

So this is what the Lord God says: In my furious anger I'm going to send a windstorm, pouring rain, and hailstones to destroy the wall.

14 Abiro muko ohinga ma usewiro gi lowo maracharno mi opie piny kendo mise mare ema none kodongʼ. E kinde ma ohingano noruombre piny, to un bende notieku; kendo unungʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.

I will demolish the wall you whitewashed, knocking it to the ground to reveal its foundations. The city is going to fall, and you're going to be destroyed with it. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

15 Omiyo ananyis mirimba mager kuom ohinga kod joma ne owire gi lowo marachar. Abiro wachonu ni, “Ohinga oselal nono kaachiel gi jomane owire gi lowo marachar,

Once the wall and those who whitewashed it have experienced my anger, I will tell you: The wall is no more, and those who whitewashed it are no more,

16 ma gin jokor wach mag Israel mane okoro wach ni jo-Jerusalem kendo mane nenone fweny mag kwe, ka kwe mane ginenono to ne onge, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.”’

those ‘prophets’ of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and claimed to have seen a vision of peace for her when there wasn't going to be any peace, declares the Lord God.

17 “Koro, wuod dhano, chom wangʼi kuom nyi jou makoro weche ma giparo. Kor wach kuomgi,

Now, son of man, you are to oppose those Israelite women who make up prophecies in their own minds. Prophesy against them

18 kendo iwachnegi ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Okwongʼ mon mokwoyo bilo ma giritorego e ngʼut lwetgi kendo maloso kitembini ma borgi opogore opogore mar umo wiyegi mondo giket ngima ji e chandruok. Uparo ni dayienu uket ngima joga e chandruok to magu to urito maber?

and tell them that this is what the Lord God says: Disaster is coming to the women who sew bracelets of magic charms for their wrists and make veils for all kinds of people to wear as ways to trap and exploit them. Do you think you can trap the lives of my people yet still keep your own?

19 Usemiyo nyinga oyany e dier joga mondo uyudgo mogo matin mar shairi gi ngʼinjo mar makati. Kuom wuondo joga mohero miriambo, usenego jomane ok onego otho to useweyo joma ok owinjore obed mangima.

You have disgraced me among my people for a few handfuls of barley and scraps of bread. By lying to my people who believe in you, you have killed those who shouldn't have died and let others live who shouldn't.

20 “‘Kuom mano, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Adagi bilo muritorugo mamiyo uketo ngima ji e chandruok mana ka winy mochik gobadho, kendo abiro yudhogi oko e lwetu, mi agony joma usemako otony ka winyo.

So this is what the Lord God says: Watch out! I condemn the magic charms you use to trap people like birds, and I will rip them off your arms. I will set free those you have trapped.

21 Abiro yiecho kitembini ma uumogo lela wengeu mi ares joga e lwetu, kendo ok ginichak gibed e bwo tekou. Eka unungʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.

I will also rip off your veils and rescue my people from your power, so that they will no longer be your victims. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

22 Nikech ne uchando chuny joma kare gi miriambou, ka an to ne ok amiyogi kuyo, kendo nikech ne ujiwo joma timbegi richo mondo kik gilokre giwe timbegi maricho eka gires ngimagi,

Because you have discouraged good people with your lies, even though I didn't have anything against them, and because you have encouraged the wicked that they shouldn't give up from their evil ways to save their lives,

23 emomiyo ok unuchak une fweny mag miriambo kendo kata koro mag wuondo ji ok unutim. Abiro reso joga e lwetu. Kendo ka atimo kamano eka unungʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.’”

from now on you won't claim these false visions or practice magic. I will rescue my people from your power. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”
