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.

It happened in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of Jehovah, and sat before me.

2 Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

The word of Jehovah 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 elders of Israel, and tell them, 'Thus says Jehovah: "Is it to inquire of me that you have come? As I live, says Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you."'

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

Will you judge them, son of man, will you judge them? Cause them to know 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 tell them, 'Thus says Jehovah: "In the day when I chose Israel, and swore to the offspring of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I swore to them, saying, 'I am Jehovah 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 swore to them, to bring them forth out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of 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.”

I said to them, 'Cast away every man the abominations of his eyes, and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am Jehovah 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 rebelled against me, and would not listen to me; they each didn't throw away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger 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 worked for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, among which they were, in whose sight I made myself known to them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.

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

"'"So I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.

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

I gave them my statutes, and showed them my ordinances, which if a man does, 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 also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am Jehovah who sanctifies 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 rebelled against me in the wilderness: they didn't walk in my statutes, and they rejected my ordinances, which if a man keep, he shall live in them; and my Sabbaths they greatly profaned. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them in the wilderness, to consume them.

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

But I worked for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.

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

"'"Moreover also I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given to them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the most beautiful 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 rejected my ordinances, and didn't walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.

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

Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I didn't destroy them, neither did I make a full end of them in the wilderness.

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

"'"I said to their children in the wilderness, 'Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols.

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

I am Jehovah your God: walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, 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 make my Sabbaths holy; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am Jehovah 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 the children rebelled against me; they didn't walk in my statutes, neither kept my ordinances to do them, which if a man do, he shall live in them; and they profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.

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

Nevertheless I withdrew my hand, and worked for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them forth.

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

Moreover I swore to them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations, and disperse 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 executed my ordinances, but had rejected my statutes, and had profaned my Sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.

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

Moreover also I gave them statutes that were not good, and ordinances in which they should 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, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that opens the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am Jehovah."'

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:

"Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and tell them, 'Thus says Jehovah: "In this moreover have your fathers blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against 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.

For when I had brought them into the land, which I swore to give to them, then they saw every high hill, and every thick tree, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering; there also they made their pleasant aroma, and they poured out there their drink offerings.

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

Then I said to them, 'What does the high place where you go mean?' So its name is called Bamah 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?

"Therefore tell the house of Israel, 'Thus says Jehovah: "Do you pollute yourselves in the way of your fathers? And do you play the prostitute after 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 when you offer your gifts, when you make your sons to pass through the fire, do you pollute yourselves with all your idols to this day? And shall I be inquired of by you, house of Israel? As I live, says Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by 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.

and that which comes into your mind shall not be at all, in that you say, 'We will be as the nations, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.'

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

As I live," says Jehovah, "surely with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, will I be king over you:

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 peoples, and will gather you out of the countries in which you are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath 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 the peoples, and there will I enter into judgment 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.

Like as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I enter into judgment with you," says Jehovah.

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

"I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond 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 purge out from among you the rebels, and those who disobey against me; I will bring them forth out of the land where they live, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and you shall know that I am Jehovah."

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.

"'As for you, house of Israel, thus says the Lord Jehovah: "Go, serve everyone his idols, and hereafter also, if you will not listen to me; but my holy name you shall no more profane 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.

For in my holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel," says Jehovah, "there shall all the house of Israel, all of them, serve me in the land: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the first fruits of your offerings, with all your holy things.

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.

As a pleasant aroma will I accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples, and gather you out of the countries in which you have been 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.

You shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country which I swore to give to your fathers.

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

There you shall remember your ways, and all your doings, in which you have polluted yourselves; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that you have 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.”

You shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have dealt with you for my name's sake, not according to your evil ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, you house of Israel," says Jehovah.'"

45 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

The word of Jehovah 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 your face toward the south, and drop your word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the South;

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 tell the forest of the South, 'Hear the word of Jehovah: Thus says Jehovah, "Look, I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every green tree in you, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burnt thereby.

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

All flesh shall see that I, Jehovah, have kindled it; 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?’”

Then I said, "Ah, Jehovah. They say of me, 'Isn't he a speaker of parables?'"
