Ezekiel 17
1 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
And the word of the LORD 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 GOD: A great eagle with great wings and long pinions, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the top 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 topmost of the young twigs thereof, and carried it into a land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants.
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,
He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful soil; he placed it beside many waters, he set it as a slip.
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, whose tendrils might turn toward him, and the roots thereof be under him; so 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.
There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers; and, behold, this vine did bend its roots toward him, and shot forth its branches toward him, from the beds of its plantation, 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 soil by many waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a stately 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 thou: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither, yea, wither in all its sprouting leaves? neither shall great power or much people be at hand when it is plucked up by the roots thereof.
10 To kata ka opidhe kendo, bende dolodh maber? Donge obiro ner chuth ka yamb ugwe ogoye moner e puodho kamane odonge?’”
Yea, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? Shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? In the beds where it grew it shall wither.'
11 Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
Moreover the word of the LORD 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 mean? tell them: Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and brought them to 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 seed royal, and made a covenant with him, and brought him under an oath, and the mighty of the land he took away;
14 mondo omi pinyruodhno otieki ma ok nyal chungʼ kendo, kendo odhi nyime mana korito winjruok mane oketi.
that his might be a lowly kingdom, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping his covenant it might 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 GOD, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall 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 his mighty army and great company succour him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build forts, to cut off many souls;
18 Ne ochayo singruok kuom ketho winjruok. Nikech ne ok orito singruok mane osetimo, ok enotonyne kum.
seeing he hath despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath 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 GOD: As I live, surely Mine oath that he hath despised, and My covenant that he hath broken, I will even bring it upon his own 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 plead with him there for his treachery that he hath committed 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 mighty men in all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward every wind; and ye shall know that I the LORD have spoken it.
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 GOD: Moreover I will take, even I, of the lofty top of the cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I will plant it upon a high mountain and eminent;
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.
in the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it; and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a stately cedar; and under it shall dwell all fowl 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 the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish; I the LORD have spoken and have done it.'
