Ezekiel 17
1 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
2 “Wuod dhano, nyis dhood Israel ngero moro.
Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel,
3 Wachnegi ni ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: ‘Ne nitie ongo moro maduongʼ man kod bwombe madongo dongo kendo man-gi yier mokiko okiko kendo maboyo, nobiro Lebanon. Ongono nopiyo ewi yiend sida,
and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: A great eagle with great wings, long-pinioned, full of feathers, which was of divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar.
4 mi ojako chuny yien-no mane pod dongo, kendo ne otingʼe odhi kode mabor nyaka e piny moro ma jo-ohala madongo, odakie kendo nopidhe e dala maduongʼ mar jo-ohalago.
He cropped off the top of its young shoots, and carried it into a merchants' land; he set it in a city of traders.
5 “‘Ne okawo kothe moko moa e puotheu kendo noketogi e lowo mamiyo. Nopidhe e tiend aora kama pi ngʼenyie mana kaka ipidho yien ma bedene odolore-odolore mati kuode ma pi nitie,
And he took of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, he set it as a willow tree.
6 mine odongo modoko yiend mzabibu molak kendo oriere gi piny. Bedene nodongo modolore ochomo ongono, to tiendene to nomako lowo motegno. Omiyo nodoko yiend mzabibu ma bedene otimo otiep.
And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, so that its branches should turn toward him, and the roots thereof be under him; and it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
7 “‘To ne nitie ongo moro machielo maduongʼ ma bwombene otegno kendo opongʼ gi yier. Yiend mzabibuno koro tiendene ne lak koa kamane opidhe kochome kendo bedene bende nochako yarore kochome mondo oyud pi.
And there was another great eagle with great wings and many feathers; and behold, from the beds of her plantation, this vine did bend her roots unto him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it.
8 Ne oyudo osepidhe e lowo maber kendo ma pi ngʼenyie mondo bedene othiew, onyag olemo, kendo obed yiend mzabibu maber.’
It was planted in a good field by many waters, that it might bring forth branches and bear fruit, that it might be a noble vine.
9 “Wachnegi ni ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: ‘Bende obiro dongo maber adier? Donge ibiro pudhe mi lwer olembene mi otwo? Kata otem loth kendo to obiro mana ner. Ok obi dwaro ngʼat maratego kata ji mangʼeny mondo opudhe oko gi tiendene.
Say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Shall it prosper? Shall he not pull up its roots, and cut off its fruit, that it may wither? All its fresh sprouting leaves shall wither, even without a great arm and many people to pluck it up by its roots.
10 To kata ka opidhe kendo, bende dolodh maber? Donge obiro ner chuth ka yamb ugwe ogoye moner e puodho kamane odonge?’”
And behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither when the east wind toucheth it? It shall wither in the beds where it grew.
11 Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
12 “Wachne oganda ma jongʼanyogo ni, ‘Donge ungʼeyo tiend gigi?’ Wachnegi ni, ‘Ruodh Babulon nodhi Jerusalem momake ruodhe kod joge momew mi nodhi kodgi nyaka Babulon.
Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things are? Say, Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took its king and its princes, and led them with him to Babylon.
13 Bangʼe ne okaw ngʼato moro moa e dhood joka ruoth kendo noloso kode winjruok e yor kwongʼruok. Nomako bende joma idewo mag pinyno mi odhigo,
And he took of the king's seed, and made a covenant with him, and brought him under an oath, and he took away the mighty of the land;
14 mondo omi pinyruodhno otieki ma ok nyal chungʼ kendo, kendo odhi nyime mana korito winjruok mane oketi.
that the kingdom might be abased, that it might not lift itself up, that it might keep his covenant in order to stand.
15 To ruoth noketho winjruok ma notimo kode kooro joote Misri mondo oom farese kod jolweny mangʼeny. To bende onyalo loyo lweny adier? Bende ngʼama timo gik ma kamago nyalo tony adier? Bende doketh winjruok mi otony?
But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? shall he break the covenant, and yet escape?
16 “‘Akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon an Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ni obiro tho e piny Babulon, ma piny mar ruoth mane okete e loch, mosechayo singruok mane otimo kode, kendo moseketho winjruok mane otimne.
[As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, verily in the place of the king that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, even with him, in the midst of Babylon, shall he die.
17 Farao kaachiel gi jolwenje maroteke kod oganda maduongʼ makedone ok bi konye e lweny, kata bed ni ogero raidhi kod ohinga mar agengʼa chiengʼ ma nakethie ngima ji mangʼeny.
Neither shall Pharaoh with a mighty army and a great assemblage do anything for him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build forts to cut off many persons.
18 Ne ochayo singruok kuom ketho winjruok. Nikech ne ok orito singruok mane osetimo, ok enotonyne kum.
He despised the oath, and broke the covenant; and behold, he had given his hand, yet hath he done all these things: he shall not escape.
19 “‘Kuom mano, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon ni abiro kume nikech ne ok orito singruokna kod winjruok mane atimo kode.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: [As] I live, verily, mine oath which he hath despised, and my covenant which he hath broken, even it will I recompense upon his head.
20 Abiro chikone obadho mondo amakego. Abiro kele nyaka Babulon mi akume kuno nikech ne ok orito adierana.
And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare; and I will bring him to Babylon, and will enter into judgment with him there for his unfaithfulness in which he hath been unfaithful against me.
21 Jokedo mage duto ma notony gi ngʼwech biro podho e lak ligangla, kendo joge modongʼ noke kuonde duto. Eka unungʼe ni an Jehova Nyasaye ema asewuoyo.
And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward every wind; and ye shall know that I Jehovah have spoken.
22 “‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: An awuon ema abiro kawo chuny maloth ewi midimidi mar yadh sida mi achak apidhe. Abiro chodo chunye ma pod yom e wiye malo mogik mi apidhi ewi got moro mabor moyombo gode.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will also take of the highest branch of the lofty cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of its young shoots a tender one, and I will plant it upon a high and eminent mountain:
23 Ewi gode madongo mag Israel ema abiro pidhee, kendo obiro yaro bedene kendo obiro nyago olemo mi obed yiend sida maratipo. Kit winy mopogore opogore biro gero utegi kuome, kendo gibiro yudo kar dak gi kar yweyo e bedene.
upon the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it; and it shall bring forth branches, and bear fruit, and become a noble cedar; and under it shall dwell all birds of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.
24 Yiende duto mag puodho biro ngʼeyo ni an Jehova Nyasaye ema amiyo yien marabora doko machiek, to yien machiek amiyo dongo mi dok marabora. Amiyo yien momiyo maralum two to amiyo yien motwo loth. “‘An Jehova Nyasaye ema asewuoyo kendo abiro time.’”
And all the trees of the field shall know that I Jehovah have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and made the dry tree to flourish: I Jehovah have spoken, and will do [it].
