Ezekiel 20

1 Tarik apar dwe mar abich e higa mar abiriyo, jodong Israel moko nobiro ira mondo openj wach kuom Jehova Nyasaye mine girito mondo giwinj tiend wachno.

And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month: there came men of the ancients of Israel to inquire of the Lord, and they sat before me.

2 Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

3 Wuod dhano, wuo gi jodong Israel kendo iwachnegi ni ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho, Bende unyalo biro ira adier mondo upenja wach? Akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon ni ok abi yienu upenja wach, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.

Son of man, speak to the ancients of Israel, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Are you come to inquire of me? As I live, I will not answer you, saith the Lord God.

4 Donge ibiro ngʼadonegi bura? Donge ibiro ngʼadonegi bura, wuod dhano? Ka en kamano, to mi gingʼe timbe mamono mag kweregi

If thou judgest them, if thou judgest, son of man, declare to them the abominations of their fathers.

5 kendo iwachnegi ni ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: E odiechiengʼ mane ayieroe Israel, ne asingora ni dhood joka Jakobo kendo ne afwenyoranegi e piny Misri. Ne asingoranegi ka awachonegi niya, “An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.”

And say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up my hand for the race of the house of Jacob: and appeared to them in the land of Egypt, and lifted up my hand for them, saying: I am the Lord your God:

6 Chiengʼno ne asingoranegi ni anagolgi e piny Misri mi atergi e piny mane asemanyo mi ayudonegi, ma en piny mopongʼ gi chak kod mor kich kendo piny maber moloyo pinje duto.

In that day I lifted up my hand for them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt, into a land which I had provided for them, flowing with milk and honey, which excelleth amongst all lands.

7 Kendo ne awachonegi niya, “Neuru ni ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu owito kido manono ma usechomo wengeu kuomgi kendo kik udok mogak kuom lamo nyiseche manono mag Misri. An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.”

And I said to them: Let every man cast away the scandals of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

8 To ne gingʼanyona kendo negitamore winja; ne ok giwito kido manono mane gisechomo wengegi kuome kagilamo, bende ne ok giweyo nyiseche manono mag jo-Misri. Omiyo ne awacho ni abiro olo mirimba mager kuomgi ka aketo mirimba kuomgi e piny Misri.

But they provoked me, and would not hearken to me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of his eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: and I said I would pour out my indignation upon them, and accomplish my wrath against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

9 To nikech nyinga, ne atimo gima ne nyalo miyo kik yanye e nyim ogendini mane gidak e diergi, kendo mane ongʼeyo ni ne asefwenyora ni jo-Israel kane agologi e piny Misri.

But I did otherwise for my name’s sake, that it might not be violated before the nations, in the midst of whom they were, and among whom I made myself known to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt.

10 Kuom mano ne agologi e piny Misri mi akelogi e piny motimo ongoro.

Therefore I brought them out from the land of Egypt, and brought them into the desert.

11 Ne amiyogi buchena kendo ne amiyo gingʼeyo chikena, nikech ngʼat marito buchena gi chikena ema biro bedo mangima.

And I gave them my statutes, and I shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them.

12 Bende ne amiyogi Sabato maga kaka ranyisi e kinda kodgi, mondo omi gingʼe ni an Jehova Nyasaye ema ne amiyo gibedo maler.

Moreover I gave them also my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them: and that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them.

13 Kata kamano, jo-Israel nongʼanyona e thim. Ne ok giluwo buchena, kendo ne gidagi rito chikena. Ne ok girito chikena kata obedo ni chikego miyo gibedo mangima ok girito Sabato maga. Omiyo ne awacho ni abiro olo mirimba kuomgi kendo abiro tiekogi e thim.

But the house of Israel provoked me in the desert: they walked not in my statutes, and they cast away my judgments, which if a man do he shall live in them: and they grievously violated my sabbaths. I said therefore that I would pour out my indignation upon them in the desert, and would consume them.

14 To nikech nyinga, ne atimo gimane nyalo miyo kik yanye e nyim ogendini mane oneno ka agologi e diergi.

But I spared them for the sake of my name, lest it should be profaned before the nations, from which I brought them out, in their sight.

15 Bende ne asingoranegi e thim nine ok abi kelogi nyaka e piny mane asemiyogi, ma en piny mopongʼ gi chak kod mor kich, kendo en piny maber moloyo pinje duto

So I lifted up my hand over them in the desert, not to bring them into the land which I had given them flowing with milk and honey, the best of all lands.

16 nikech ne gidagi luwo chikena gi buchena kendo ne ok girito Sabato maga. Ne ok atimo kamano nikech chunjegi ne otwere kuom nyisechegi manono.

Because they cast off my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, and violated my sabbaths: for their heart went after idols.

17 To kata kamano ne akechogi kendo ne ok anegogi kata tiekogi chuth e thim.

Yet my eye spared them, so that I destroyed them not: neither did I consume them in the desert.

18 Ne awachone nyithindgi e thim niya, “Weuru luwo puonj mane wuoneu oketo kata rito chike mag-gi, kendo kik udwanyru gi nyisechegi manono.

And I said to their children in the wilderness: Walk not in the statutes of your fathers, and observe not their judgments, nor be ye defiled with their idols:

19 An Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu; luwuru buchena kendo rituru chikena maber.

I am the Lord your God: walk ye in my statutes, and observe my judgments, and do them.

20 Rituru Sabato maga e yo maler, mondo gibedi ranyisi e kinda kodu. Eka unungʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu.”

And sanctify my sabbaths, that they may be a sign between me and you: and that you may know that I am the Lord your God.

21 To nyithindogo nongʼanyona kama: Ne ok giluwo buchena, ne ok girito chikena, kata obedo ni ngʼat moritogi bedo mangima, kendo ne ok girito Sabato maga. Omiyo ne awacho ni ne abiro olo mirimba kuomgi kendo tiekogi e thim.

But their children provoked me, they walked not in my commandments, nor observed my judgments to do them: which if a man do, he shell live in them: and they violated my sabbaths: and I threatened to pour out my indignation upon them, and to accomplish my wrath in them in the desert.

22 To ne angʼwononegi ma ok atimo kamano mondo nyinga kik kethre e kind ogendini mane oneno kagolo jo-Israel e piny Misri.

But I turned away my hand, and wrought for my name’s sake, that it might not be violated before the nations, out of which I brought them forth in their sight.

23 Ne asingoranegi e thim kakwongʼora ni abiro keyogi e dier ogendini e piny ngima,

Again I lifted up my hand upon them in the wilderness, to disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries:

24 nikech ne ok girito chikena gi buchena kendo ne ok girito Sabato maga, ka chunygi osiko kagombo nyiseche manono mag kweregi.

Because they had not done my judgments, and had cast off my statutes, and had violated my sabbaths, and their eyes had been after the idols of their fathers.

25 Ne aweyogi bende mondo oritgi gi buche maricho kendo e bwo chike mane ok nyal rito ngimagi.

Therefore I also gave them statutes that were not good, and judgments, in which they shall not live.

26 Ne aweyogi thuolo mondo chiwo mane gigolo omi gidok mogak; ma en misango mar nyithindgi duto makayo, mondo omi kihondko omakgi eka gingʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye!

And I polluted them in their own gifts, when they offered all that opened the womb, for their offences: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

27 “Kuom mano, wuod dhano, wuo gi Israel kendo iwachnegi ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Ma e yo machielo ma kwereu noweyago kayanya:

Wherefore speak to the house of Israel, O son of man, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Moreover in this also your fathers blasphemed me, when they had despised and contemned me;

28 Kane akelogi e piny mane asingora ni anamigi, to kane gineno wi thur moro amora gi yien moloth to negitimo misenginigi kanyo, kendo negigolo chiwo mag-gi mane ochiewo mirimba, kendo ne giwangʼo ubani madungʼ tik mangʼwe ngʼar kendo gipuko misangogi miolo piny.

And I had brought them into the land, for which I lifted up my hand to give it them: they saw every high hill, and every shady tree, and there they sacrificed their victims: and there they presented the provocation of their offerings, and there they set their sweet odours, and poured forth their libations.

29 Eka nawacho nigi ni: Withur musiko kudhiye ni to nangʼo?’” Kanyo pod iluongo ni Bama nyaka chil kawuono.

And I said to them: What meaneth the high place to which you go? and the name thereof was called High-place even to this day.

30 Kuom mano, wachne dhood Israel kama: Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Un bende ubiro dwanyoru kaka kwereu notimo ka gilamo nyisechegi manono?

Wherefore say to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Verily, you are defiled in the way of your fathers, and you commit fornication with their abominations.

31 Ka uchiwo mich kendo uchiwo yawuotu kaka misango miwangʼo e mach, to mano nyiso ni pod udwanyoru mana gi nyisecheu manono nyaka kawuono. Bende dayienu mondo upenja wach adier, yaye dhood Israel? Akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon, an Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ni ok abi yienu upenja wach.

And you defile yourselves with all your: idols unto this day, in the offering of your gifts, when you make your children pass through the fire: and shall I answer you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord God, I will not answer you.

32 Ka uparo ni udwaro chalo gi ogendini mamoko, kata ka dhoudi moa e pinje mamoko malamo gik mopa ma gin bao kod kidi, to mano ok bi timore.

Neither shall the thought of your mind come to pass, by which you say: We will be as the Gentiles, and as the families of the earth, to worship stocks and stones.

33 Akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon, an Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ni abiro tiyou gi tekona duto gi mirimba mager.

As I live, saith the Lord God, I will reign over you with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.

34 Abiro golou gi tekona duto gi mirimba mager e dier ogendini ka ua e pinje duto mosekeue.

And I will bring you out from the people, and I will gather you out of the countries, in which you are scattered, I will reign over you with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.

35 Abiro terou e thim mag ogendini kendo kuno ema anangʼadnue bura e wangʼu kuneno.

And I will bring you into the wilderness of people, and there will I plead with you face to face.

36 Kaka ne ayalo kwereu e thim mar piny Misri, e kaka abiro yalou, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.

As I pleaded against your fathers in the desert of the land of Egypt; even so will I judge you, saith the Lord God.

37 Abiro kwanou achiel achiel ka un e bwo lochna, kendo abiro miyo ubed joma orito singruokna.

And I will make you subject to my sceptre, and will bring you into the bands of the covenant.

38 Abiro pogou gi joma osiko kedo koda kendo ngʼanyona, kata obedo ni abiro gologi oko e piny ma gidake sani, to ok ginidonj e piny Israel. Eka unungʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.

And I will pick out from among you the transgressors, and the wicked, and will bring them out of the land where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and you shall know that I am the Lord.

39 “To in, yaye dhood Israel, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Dhiuru uti ne nyisecheu, un duto ngʼato gi ngʼato! To gikone ni ubiro luora kendo ok unumi nyinga maler kethre kuom chiwo mich ni nyisecheu manono.

And as for you, O house of Israel: thus saith the Lord God: Walk ye every one after your idols, and serve them. But if in this also you hear me not, but defile my holy name any more with your gifts, and with your idols;

40 Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho niya: Ewi goda maler, ma en got mabor mar Israel, kendo e piny nogono, dhood Israel duto kar rombgi biro tiyonae, kendo kanyo ema anarwakgie. Kanyo ema anadwarie chiwo mau kod mich mau mabeyo moloyo, kaachiel gi misengni mau duto maler.

In my holy mountain, in the high mountain of Israel, saith the Lord God, there shall all the house of Israel serve me; all of them I say, in the land in which they shall please me, and there will I require your firstfruits, and the chief of your tithes with all your sanctifications.

41 Abiro rwakou kaka ubani madungʼ tik mangʼwe ngʼar ka anagolu ua e dier ogendini kendo ka anachoku ua e pinje ma osekeue, kendo ananyisranu kaka ngʼama ler e dieru ka ogendini neno gi wengegi.

I will accept of you for an odour of sweetness, when I shall have brought you out from the people, and shall have gathered you out of the lands into which you are scattered, and I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations.

42 Eka unungʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye, ka anaduogu e piny Israel, piny mane asingora kakwongʼora ni anami kwereu.

And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have brought you into the land of Israel, into the land for which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers.

43 Kanyo ema unuparie timbeu kod yoreu duto ma usedwanyorugo, kendo ok unubed mamor gi timbe mamono duto musetimo.

And there you shall remember your ways, and all your wicked doings with which you have been defiled; and you shall be displeased with yourselves in your own sight, for all your wicked deeds which you committed.

44 Unungʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye, ka anati e dieru nikech nyinga, to ok nikech yoreu maricho kod timbeu mobam, yaye dhood Israel, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.”

And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have done well by you for my own name’s sake, and not according to your evil ways, nor according to your wicked deeds, O house of Israel, saith the Lord God.

45 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

46 Wuod dhano, chom wangʼi yo milambo; yal wach kuom jo-milambo kendo ikor wach kuom bungu manie piny milambo.

Son of man, set thy face against the way of the south, and drop towards the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field.

47 Wach ni bungu man yo milambo kama: Winj wach Jehova Nyasaye. Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Achiegni moko mach kuomi, kendo obiro tieko yiendegi duto, manumu kaachiel gi motwo. Mach mabebni ok nonegi, kendo ji duto kochakore milambo nyaka nyandwat, majni norew wengegi.

And any to the south forest: Hear the word of the Lord: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will kindle a fire in thee, and will burn in thee every green tree, and every dry tree: the dame of the fire shall not be quenched: and every face shall be burned in it, from the south even to the north.

48 Ji duto none ni an Jehova Nyasaye ema asemoko majno, kendo ok notho.

And all flesh shall see, that I the Lord have kindled it, and it shall not be quenched.

49 Eka nawacho niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, giwuoyo kuoma kagiwacho ni, ‘Donge owuoyonwa mana gi ngeche?’”

And I said: Ah, ah, ah, O Lord God: they say of me: Doth not this man speak by parables?
