Ezekiel 14

1 Jodong Israel moko nobiro ira kendo negibet e nyima tir.

THEN came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me.

2 Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

3 “Wuod dhano, jogi oseketo nyisechegi ma giloso giwegi e chunjegi kendo giseketo rachwany mamiyo ji podho e nyimgi. Bende owinjore koro ayienegi mondo gipenja wach adier?

Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be inquired of at all by them?

4 Kuom mano, wuo kodgi kendo inyisgi ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Ka ja-Israel moro amora oketo chunye kuom lamo nyiseche manono kendo oketo rachwany mamiyo ji podho e nyime, bangʼe to odhi ir jakor wach, to an Jehova Nyasaye awuon anadwoke kaluwore gi kethone maduongʼ mar lamo nyiseche ma dhano oloso.

Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the Lord will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;

5 Anatim kamano mondo aduog chunje jo-Israel duto moseweya kadhi lamo nyisechegi manono.’

That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.

6 “Kuom mano wachne dhood Israel ni, Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Lokreuru! Wereuru gi nyisecheu muloso kendo kwedreuru gi timbeu mamono duto!

Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.

7 “Ka ja-Israel moro amora kata ka japiny moro modak e piny Israel opogore koda mi oketo geno kuom lamo nyiseche manono kendo oketo rachwany marach mamiyo ji podho e nyime, bangʼe to odhi ir jakor wach mondo openje wach, to an Jehova Nyasaye awuon ema nadwoke.

For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to inquire of him concerning me; I the Lord will answer him by myself:

8 Anabed mamon kode mi akete kaka ranyisi misiemogo joma ochaya. Abiro ngʼado kare oko e dier joga. Eka unungʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.

And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

9 “‘Kendo ka achiel kuom jokor wachgo okoro wach moro, to an Jehova Nyasaye abiro rundo pache, ma wachneno ok notimre, kendo anatiek jakor wachno mi agole kuom joga ma jo-Israel.

And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the Lord have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.

10 Kethogi nobed e wigi giwegi, jakor wach nokwan ni jaketho mana kaka ngʼama odhi ire mondo okorne wach bende jaketho.

And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him;

11 Eka jo-Israel ok nochak obar mi weya kendo ok ginidwanyre gi richogi duto kendo. Ginibed joga to an anabed Nyasachgi, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto Osewacho.’”

That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord God.

12 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

The word of the Lord came again to me, saying,

13 Wuod dhano, ka piny moro otimona richo kuom bedo joma ok jo-ratiro kendo; ka arieyo bada kuomgi mi angʼado oko chiembgi mapile, mi aoro kech kuomgi kendo anego joge kaachiel gi jambgi,

Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:

14 to kata dine bed ni ji adekgi ema bedie, Nowa, Daniel kod Ayub to digires mana ngimagi giwegi nikech timbegi makare, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.

Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord God.

15 “Kata kapo ni aoro le mager e pinyno mi giweye maonge nyithindo, mi pinyno olokore thim motwo ma dhano ok nyal kadhoe nikech le magergo,

If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts:

16 to akwongʼora gi Nyinga awuon an Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ni kata dabed ni ji adekgi ni e iye, to ok digires kata mana ngima yawuotgi kata nyigi giwegi. Gin kendgi ema noresgi, to piny to noketh chuth.

Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.

17 “Kata kapo ni aoro ligangla mondo oketh pinyno duto kendo anego jogi machwo kaachiel gi le ma gipidho,

Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:

18 to mana kaka antie an Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ni kata dabed ni ji adekgi ni e iye, to ok digires kata mana ngima yawuotgi kata dine bed ni adekgi ni e iye, to ok digires kata mana ngima yawuotgi kata mar nyigi giwegi. Gin kendgi ema noresgi.

Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.

19 “Kata kapo ni aoro dera e pinyno kendo aolo mirimba kuome, ka anego ji gi le duto modakie,

Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:

20 to mana kaka antie an Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ni kata dine bed ni Nowa gi Daniel kod Ayub ni e iye, to ok digires kata mana ngima yawuotgi kata mar nyigi giwegi. Ginires mana ngimagi giwegi nikech timgi makare.

Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.

21 “Kuom mano ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Mano kaka nobed marach moloyo kuom Jerusalem ka anaor kum maga angʼwen ma gin ligangla gi kech, gi le mager kod dera, mondo aneg joge kod le mage duto!

For thus saith the Lord God; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?

22 Kata kamano, jomoko manok notony midongʼ, ma gin yawuowi gi nyiri ma nogol oko kuomgi. Ginibi iri, kendo ka ineno timbegi gi yoregi, to iniyud hoch kuom masira ma asekelo kuom Jerusalem, ma gin masiche duto masekelo kuome.

Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it.

23 Iniyud hoch ka ineno timbegi gi yoregi, nimar inifweny ni onge gima asetimone maonge gima omiyo, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.”

And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord God.
