< Ezekiel 14 >
1 Jodong Israel moko nobiro ira kendo negibet e nyima tir.
Then some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat before me.
2 Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
The LORD’s word came to 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 taken their idols into their heart, and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their face. Should I be enquired 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 to them and tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Every man of the house of Israel who takes his idols into his heart and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face then comes to the prophet, I the LORD will answer him there 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 tell the house of Israel, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Return, and turn yourselves from your idols! 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 everyone of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live in Israel, who separates himself from me and takes his idols into his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet to enquire for himself of 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.
I will set my face against that man and will make him an astonishment, for a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from amongst my people. Then you will 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.
“‘“If the prophet is deceived and speaks a word, I, the LORD, have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand on him, and will destroy him from amongst my people Israel.
10 Kethogi nobed e wigi giwegi, jakor wach nokwan ni jaketho mana kaka ngʼama odhi ire mondo okorne wach bende jaketho.
They will bear their iniquity. The iniquity of the prophet will be even as the iniquity of him who seeks 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 no more go astray from me, neither defile themselves any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God,” says the Lord GOD.’”
12 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
The LORD’s word came 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 a land sins against me by committing a trespass, and I stretch out my hand on it, and break the staff of its bread and send famine on it, and cut off from it man and animal—
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 would deliver only their own souls by their righteousness,” says 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 evil animals to pass through the land, and they ravage it and it is made desolate, so that no man may pass through because of the animals—
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,” says the Lord GOD, “they would deliver neither sons nor daughters. They only would be delivered, but the land would 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 on that land, and say, ‘Sword, go through the land, so that I cut off from it man and animal’—
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,” says the Lord GOD, “they would deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only would 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 wrath on it in blood, to cut off from it man and animal—
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,” says the Lord GOD, “they would deliver neither son nor daughter; they would deliver only 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 the Lord GOD says: “How much more when I send my four severe judgements on Jerusalem—the sword, the famine, the evil animals, and the pestilence—to cut off from it man and animal!
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, there will be left a remnant in it that will be carried out, both sons and daughters. Behold, they will come out to you, and you will see their way and their doings. Then you will be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought on 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.”
They will comfort you, when you see their way and their doings; then you will know that I have not done all that I have done in it without cause,” says the Lord GOD.
