Ezekiel 2
1 Nowachona niya, “Wuod dhano, aa malo ichungʼ mondo awuo kodi.”
This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw and fell upon my face, and heard the voice of one speaking: and he said to me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to thee.
2 Ka noyudo owuoyo, Roho mar Nyasaye nobiro kuoma mi ochunga gi tienda, mine awinje kowuoyo koda.
And the Spirit came upon me, and took me up, and raised me, and set me on my feet: and I heard him speaking to me.
3 Nowacho niya; “Wuod dhano, aori ir jo-Israel. Aori ir oganda ma jongʼanyo. Gin kaachiel gi kweregi gisebedo ka gingʼanyona nyaka kawuono.
And he said to me, Son of Man, I send thee forth to the house of Israel, them that provoke me; who have provoked me, they and their fathers to this day.
4 Joma aori irgi gin joma wigi tek ma ok winj wach. Wachnegi kama: ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho.’
And thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord.
5 Kata giyie winji kata gidagi, nikech gin anywola ma jongʼanyo, to gibiro ngʼeyo ni janabi moro osebet e diergi.
Whether then indeed they shall hear or fear, (for it is a provoking house, ) yet they shall know that thou art a prophet in the midst of them.
6 To in wuod dhano, kik iluorgi, kendo kata wechegi kik iluor. Kik iluor, kata obedo ni pedo gi kuthe oluori koni gi koni, kendo idak kanyachiel gi thomoni; kik iluor gik ma giwacho kendo kata bwok kik gibwogi, kata obedo ni gin anywola mohero ngʼanyo.
And thou, son of man, fear them not, nor be dismayed at their face; (for they will madden and will rise up against thee round about, and thou dwellest in the midst of scorpions): be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their countenance, for it is a provoking house.
7 Nyaka iwachnegi wechena, kata giyie winjo kata gidagi, nikech gihero ngʼanyo.
And thou shalt speak my words to them, whether they will hear or fear: for it is a provoking house.
8 To in, wuod dhano winj gima anyisi. Kik ingʼany kaka jogo mohero ngʼanyo; yaw dhogi mondo icham gima amiyi.”
And thou, son of man, hear him that speaks to thee; be not thou provoking, as the provoking house: open thy mouth, and eat what I give thee.
9 Eka ne angʼicho, kendo ne aneno lwedo morie kochoma. Lwedono notingʼo ndiko modol,
And I looked, and behold, a hand stretched out to me, and in it a volume of a book.
10 mane oyaro e nyima. E bathe koni gi koni ne ondikie weche mag ywagruok gi kuyo kod achiedh-nade.
And he unrolled it before me: and in it the front and the back were written [upon]: and there was written [in it] Lamentation, and mournful song, and woe.
