Ezekiel 16

1 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

2 “Wuod dhano, nyis Jerusalem timbene mamono duto e wangʼe,

Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,

3 kendo wachne ni ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho ni Jerusalem: ‘Kweregi nonywol e piny Kanaan, kendo wuonu ne en ja-Amor, to minu ne ja-Hiti.

And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity [is] of the land of Canaan; thy father [was] an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite.

4 Odiechiengʼ mane onywolie, pendi ne ok ongʼadi, kata luok ne ok olwoki gi pi mondo ibed maler, to bende ne ok owiri gi chumbi kendo ne ok oboyi gi lewni.

And [as for] thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple [thee; ] thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.

5 Onge ngʼama nokechi kata mane nigi ngʼwono moromo mar timoni achiel kuom gigi. Kar yudo kech to ne odiri oko e pap, nikech odiechiengʼ mane onywolie ema ne ochak chayie.

None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, to the lothing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born.

6 “‘Chiengʼ moro kane akalo machiegni kodi ne ayudo ka ithachori gi rembi iwuon kendo kata obedo ni nitimo remo kamano to ne awachoni ni ibed mangima.

And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee [when thou wast] in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee [when thou wast] in thy blood, Live.

7 Ne amiyo idongo ka yien mopidhi e puodho. Ne idongo kendo ne ibedo motegno, mine idoko yath motegno kendo ma jaber moloyo yedhe duto. Thundeni nobiro, kendo yie wiyi nodongo mabeyo, to kata kamano ne in duk thirith.

I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments: [thy] breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou [wast] naked and bare.

8 “‘Bangʼe ne achako akalo machiegni, kendo kane arangi to ne aneno ni ne isebedo mopongʼ moromo hero, omiyo ne ayaro bath nangana mi aumogo dugi. Natimo kodi singruok kakwongʼora midoko mara, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto owacho.

Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time [was] the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine.

9 “‘Bangʼe ne aluoki gi pi kendo ne arudho remo mane omieni mi awiri gi mo.

Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.

10 Ne arwaki gi lewni mogorie gik mabeyo kendo ne arwakoni wuoche akada mayom. Ne arwakoni law mayom kendo ne aumi gi lewni ma nengogi tek.

I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers’ skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk.

11 Ne amiyi tigo ma nengogi tek kaka: Bangli e bedeni kod tigo ne aliero e ngʼuti,

I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.

12 kendo ne aketo tere e umi, gi sitadi e iti koni gi koni, bangʼe to ne asidhoni osimbo ma jaber e wiyi.

And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.

13 Omiyo ne ilichori gi fedha kod dhahabu, kendo lepi nolosi gi usi mayom gi usi mapek ma nengone tek kod nanga mogorie gik mabeyo. Chiembi to ne mogo moreg mayom gi mor kich kod mor zeituni. Ne imedo bedo dhako ma jaber manomiyo ibedo ruoth madhako.

Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment [was of] fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.

14 Kendo humbi nolandore e pinje kuom ber mane ibergo, nikech duongʼ mane amiyi nomiyo berni oromo chuth, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.

And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it [was] perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.

15 “‘To ne igeno kuom berni, kendo ne ikonyori gi huma mari mondo ibedgo ochot. Ne ilokori ochot mochiwore ni ngʼato angʼata makadho machiegni kendo berni nodoko mare.

But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.

16 Ne ikawo moko kuom lewni mabeyo mane amiyi mi idhi ipedho kuonde motingʼore gi malo, kuma ne itime timbegi mag chode. Gik ma kamago ne pok owinji, kendo ok owinjore gitimre ngangʼ.

And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: [the like things] shall not come, neither shall it be [so].

17 Gik ma nengogi tek molos gi dhahabu gi fedha mane amiyi bende ne ikawo mi ilosogo nyisechegi machwo mondo ichodi.

Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them,

18 Kendo ne ikawo lepi mogorie gik mabeyo mi irwakonegi kendo ne iketo moya gi ubanina e nyimgi.

And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them.

19 Bende, chiemo ma An awuon ema ne amiyi kaka mogo mayom, mor zeituni kod mor kich mane amiyi mondo icham mi ichiwonegi kaka misango madungʼ tik mangʼwe ngʼar. Mano e gima notimore, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.

My meat also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, [wherewith] I fed thee, thou hast even set it before them for a sweet savour: and [thus] it was, saith the Lord GOD.

20 “‘Bende ne ikawo yawuoti gi nyigi mane inywolona mi ichiwogi kaka misango ni nyisechegi. Timbegi mag chode ne ok oromi?

Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. [Is this] of thy whoredoms a small matter,

21 Ne iyangʼo nyithinda kendo ichiwogi kaka misango ne nyiseche ma dhano oloso.

That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through [the fire] for them?

22 Kuom timbeni duto mamono gi chode mane idonje, ne ok iparo ndalo mane pod itin, kindego mane in duk, kane ayudi ka remo olwoki.

And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, [and] wast polluted in thy blood.

23 “‘Bangʼ timbeni mamonogo duto, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho niya, yaye, yaye in ngʼama okwongʼ! Kaachiel gi kethogi mamoko duto,

And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord GOD; )

24 ne iloso ni in iwuon kama otingʼore gi malo kendo ne igero kuonde motingʼore gi malo mag kamoro amora.

[That] thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street.

25 E nyim yore duto mag dala, ne igeroe kuonde motingʼore gi malo ma ilame nyisecheni mine injawo berni, kane ichiwo dendi ne ngʼato angʼata mane kadho buti nikech ringri nomedo oowre ni terruok.

Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms.

26 Ne iterori gi jo-Misri, jo-libambani mane oowore ni chode, mine imedo miya mirima, nikech ringri ne omedo oowore ne terruok.

Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger.

27 Omiyo ne amiyi kum mi adiyo kiewo mari; ne ajwangʼou e lwet wasiki ma jowuoro, ma gin nyi jo-Filistia, kendo gin bende timbegi manjore nobwogogi.

Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary [food], and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of thy lewd way.

28 Jo-Asuria bende ni iterorigo, nikech gombo mari nokalo konyo, kendo kata gin bende ne ok giromi.

Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied.

29 Bangʼe, gomboni mandhaga ne oywayi mi iterori nyaka gi jo-Babulon, ma gin johala madongo, to kata gin bende ne ok giromi.

Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.

30 “‘Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto owacho ni mano kaka nenore ni chunyi ok nigi chandruok kuom timbe mitimogi duto, kibedo ochot ma wangʼe tek!

How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing thou doest all these [things], the work of an imperious whorish woman;

31 Kane iloso ni in iwuon kuonde motingʼore gi malo e akek yore duto mag dala kendo igero ni iwuon kuonde motingʼore mag lemo kamoro amora, to in ne ok ichalo gi ochot, nikech ne ok idwaro chudo moro amora.

In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire;

32 “‘In dhako ma jachodeni! Igeno chwo mamoko moloyo chwori iwuon!

[But as] a wife that committeth adultery, [which] taketh strangers instead of her husband!

33 Ochode duto ichulo, to in to ichiwo mich ni joma terore kodi duto, kendo imiyogi asoya mondo gibi iri eka gichopni dwarogi maricho.

They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom.

34 Omiyo kit terruok mari opogore adier gi terruok mag ji mamoko, nikech in ok chwo manyi mondo ichopnegi gombogi. Ipogori ndi, nikech in ema ichulo ji mondo oterre kodi to in ok gichuli.

And the contrary is in thee from [other] women in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary.

35 “‘Kuom mano, in ochot, winj wach Jehova Nyasaye!

Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:

36 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Nikech ne ibedo gi gombo mi ilonyori duk michiwo ringre ka dhako ma jachode ni joherani, kendo ni nyisecheni mamono makwero, bende ne inego nyithindi ka misango ni nyisechegi manonogo,

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them;

37 mano emomiyo abiro choko joherani duto mosemiyi mor, moriwo ji duto mane ihero nyaka mane ichayo. Abiro chokogi kendo abiro ketogi mondo gilwori koni gi koni, bangʼe to alonyi duk e nyimgi duto, kendo ginine dugi.

Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all [them] that thou hast loved, with all [them] that thou hast hated; I will even gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.

38 Abiro ngʼadoni buch kum mikumogo mon machodo kendo machwero remo, kendo abiro chuli kuor mar remo mar mirimba gi nyieka mager.

And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.

39 Ka asetimoni kamano to abiro boli e lwet joherani kendo gibiro muko thucheni kod kuondeni motingʼore gi malo milame nyisechegi. Gibiro lonyo lepi mi giweyi duk, kendo gibiro kawo kitegi ma nengogi tek mi giweyi duk.

And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare.

40 Gibiro chokoni jo-jendeke mi gichielgi gi kite kendo gibiro tongʼi matindo tindo gi liganglagi.

They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords.

41 Gibiro wangʼo uteni kendo gibiro kumi e nyim mon mangʼeny. Abiro tieko timbegi mag chode kendo ok inichak ichul joherani.

And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more.

42 Eka bangʼe mirimba biro rumo kendo nyiego mara mager biro weyi; chunya biro lendo kendo mirimba biro rumo.

So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.

43 “‘Nikech ne ok iparo ndalo mane pod itin, to ne iwangʼo iya gi gigi duto, omiyo abiro kumi, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto owacho. Donge timbegi duto mamono ne imedo gi dwanyruok?

Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast fretted me in all these [things; ] behold, therefore I also will recompense thy way upon [thine] head, saith the Lord GOD: and thou shalt not commit this lewdness above all thine abominations.

44 “‘Ngero migoyo e piny Israel ni, “Nyako okawo kit min, nowach kuomi.”

Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use [this] proverb against thee, saying, As [is] the mother, [so is] her daughter.

45 In nyar minu adier, nikech minu nochayo chwore gi nyithinde; kendo ichal gi nyimineni adier, nikech nyimineni bende nochayo chwogi gi nyithindgi. Minu ne en ja-Hiti to wuonu ne en ja-Amor.

Thou [art] thy mother’s daughter, that lotheth her husband and her children; and thou [art] the sister of thy sisters, which lothed their husbands and their children: your mother [was] an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.

46 Nyaminu maduongʼ ne en Samaria, mane odak gi nyige yo Nyandwat; to nyaminu matin, mane odak gi nyige yo milambo, ne en Sodom.

And thine elder sister [is] Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, [is] Sodom and her daughters.

47 Ok ne iwuotho e yoreni kendo iluwo timbeni mamono, to ne ikethori moloyogi mapiyo nono kuom timbeni duto mobam.

Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as [if that were] a very little [thing], thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways.

48 Akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon an Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ni kata mana nyameru ma Sodom gi nyige ne ok otimo gik maricho machal gi gik ma in kod nyigi usetimoni.

[As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.

49 “‘Koro ma e richo mane nyameru ma Sodom otimo. En kod nyige ne wigi tek kendo ne giyiengʼ ahinya ma ok gidew jomoko machandore. Ne ok gikonyo joma odhier gi joma ni gidwaro.

Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

50 Ne gin jongʼayi kendo negitimo gik mamono e nyima. Emomiyo ne ariembogi e nyima kaka useneno atimoni.

And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw [good].

51 Kata mana jo-Samaria to ne ok otimo kata mana nus mar richo ma usetimoni. Usetimo gik mamono mathoth mohingogi, kendo usemiyo nyimineu onenore ka gima gin joma kare nikech gik musetimogi duto.

Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done.

52 Kuom mano, tingʼ wichkuot mari kendi, nikech isegonyo nyiminegi mobedo thuolo kaka joma beyo moloyi. Nikech richogi ne richo moloyo mag-gi, omiyo koro ginenore joma kare mohingi. Omiyo koro ne wichkuot kendo tingʼ achaya mochayigo kendi iwuon, nikech in ema isemiyo nyiminegi onenore joma kare moloyi.

Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.

53 “‘To kata kamano, abiro dwoko ne Sodom gi nyige mwanduge, kendo mwandu Samaria gi nyige bende abiro dwoko nigi, kod mwandugi bende abiro dwokoni kaachiel kodgi,

When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then [will I bring again] the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them:

54 mondo itingʼ achaya mari kendo ine wichkuot kuom gik moko duto misetimo kuom miyogi hoch.

That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them.

55 Nyimineni ma gin Sodom gi nyige kod Samaria gi nyige, biro lokore mi gibed gima ne gin chon; kendo in bende, kaachiel gi nyigi ibiro lokori mi ibed kaka ne ichalo chon.

When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.

56 Ne ok inyal kata luongo nying nyameru ma Sodom gi nyinge e kinde mane sunga omaki,

For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride,

57 kane timbeni maricho pok oel. To kata kamano, sani koro ochayi gi nyi Edom kaachiel gi joma odak bute kod nyi jo-Filistia, jogo duto modak e alwora mari ochayi.

Before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of [thy] reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all [that are] round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, which despise thee round about.

58 Ibiro tingʼo chandruok duto mosebironi nikech timbeni mamono kendo nikech timbeni moyombore, Jehova Nyasaye osewacho.

Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith the LORD.

59 “‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Abiro tiyo kodi kaluwore gi gima onego iyudi, nikech iseketho winjruok mane an-go kodi kuom ketho singruok.

For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.

60 Kata kamano, pod abiro paro singruok mane atimo kodi kane pod itin, kendo abiro guro singruok mosiko kodi.

Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.

61 Eka inipar yoreni mi wiyi kuodi, kendo inirwak nyimineni madongo mohingi kod matindoni. Anamiyigi kaka nyigi, to ok natim kamano kotenore kuom singruok mara kodi.

Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.

62 Omiyo abiro guro singruok mara kodi, kendo ibiro ngʼeyo ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.

And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD:

63 Bangʼe ka aseweyonu richou kuom gik moko duto musetimo, to ubiro paro kendo wiu biro kuot, kendo ok unuchak uwuo kendo nikech unuyie ni ok unyal, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto owacho.’”

That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.
