Ezekiel 14

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

Then came there unto me men, of the elders of Israel, —and sat before me—

2 Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

And the word of Yahweh 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 brought up their manufactured gods upon their hear, And their stumbling-block of iniquity, have they set straight before their face, —Shall I be at all enquired of 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 My Lord, Yahweh, Any man whatsoever of the house of Israel Who shall bring up his manufactured gods upon his heart, And set, his stumbling-block of iniquity, straight before his face, And then come in unto the prophet, I Yahweh, have myself answered him thereby. By the multitude of his manufactured gods:

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

To the end the house of Israel may be taken by their own hearts, —in that they have estranged themselves from me, through their manufactured gods—all of them!

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 thou unto the house of Israel, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Turn ye—and make good your return—from your manufactured gods; And, from all your abominations, make good the turning away of your faces.

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 what man soever of the house of Israel Or of the sojourners who sojourn in Israel, Who shall estrange himself from following me And who shall bring up his manufactured gods, on his heart, And whose stumbling-block of iniquity, he shall set straight before his face, And then come in unto the prophet, to enquire by him of me, I Yahweh, will myself answer him, on my own account;

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 will set my face against that man And will make of him a sign and a proverb, And will cut him off out of the midst of my people: So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.

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.

Yea the prophet himself when he suffereth himself to be deceived, and speaketh a word, I Yahweh, have suffered that prophet to be deceived, Then will I stretch forth my hand against him, and destroy him out of 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.

So shall they bear their punishment, As the punishment of him that enquireth, So shall the punishment of the prophet be:

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 no more go astray from following me, And no more defile themselves by any of their transgressions, — But may become my people, and I, may become their God, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.

12 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

And the word of Yahweh came unto 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 a land, shall sin against me by committing treachery, and I shall stretch out my hand against it, And break for it the staff of bread, And send thereon famine, And cut off therefrom man and beast,

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.

Then should these three men be in the midst thereof, Noah, Daniel, and Job, they by their righteousness should deliver their own lives— Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.

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 a mischievous wild beast, I suffer to pass through the land, and that beast bereave it, so that it become too desolate for any man to pass through, by reason of the wild beast,

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.

[Were] these three men in the midst thereof, As I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely neither sons nor daughters, should they deliver, They alone should be delivered, But the land, should become a desolation.

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

Or, a sword, I should bring upon that land, and should say. O sword! thou shalt go through the land, and so I should cut off therefrom, man and beast,

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.

Were these three men in the midst thereof, As I live! Saith My Lord Yahweh, They should deliver neither sons nor daughters, — For they alone, should be delivered.

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

Or pestilence, I, should send into that land, —and should pour out mine indignation thereon in blood, to cut off therefrom 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.

Were Noah, Daniel and Job in the midst thereof, As I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely neither son nor daughter, should they deliver, They, by their righteousness should deliver only their own lives.

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 My Lord Yahweh, How much less [should they avail] when my four calamitous judgments, sword and famine and mischievous wild beast and pestilence I have sent against Jerusalem, —to cut off therefrom 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 lo! there hath been left therein a remnant of fugitives to be brought forth —sons and daughters— There they are! coming forth unto you, And so ye shall see their way, and their doings, and be consoled over the calamity which I have brought in upon Jerusalem even all that I have brought in upon her.

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

Yea they shall console you, when ye see their way and their doings, — So shall ye know that not without cause, have I done, anything that I have done with her, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
