Ezekiel 21

1 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

2 “Wuod dhano, chom wangʼi kuom Jerusalem kendo iyal wach kikwedo kama ler mar lemo. Kor wach kuom piny Israel,

Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop [thy word] toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,

3 kendo iwachne ni ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: ‘Adagi. Abiro wuodho ligangla oko e olalo mare mi aneg joma kare gi joma timbegi richo, ka agologi kuomi.

And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I [am] against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.

4 Nikech abiro nego joma kare kod joma timbegi richo, ligangla biro wuodhore e olalo mare mitiek ngʼato angʼata, chakre yo milambo nyaka yo nyandwat.

Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:

5 Eka ji duto nongʼe ni an Jehova Nyasaye ema asewuodho liganglana kagolo e olalo mare. Ok nodogi e olalone kendo.’

That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more.

6 “Emomiyo chur, in wuod dhano! Chur e nyimgi gi chuny motur kod kuyo malit.

Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of [thy] loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.

7 Kendo ka gipenji ni, ‘Angʼo momiyo ichur?’ To iniwachnegi ni, ‘Nikech wach moro mabiro timore. Bende nyisgi ni e kindeno kihondko nomakgi kendo bedegi nowengni, mi chir ma gin-go nolal nono kendo chongegi notetni.’ Kindeno osechopo kendo gigo biro timore ma ok orem, an Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ema owacho.”

And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt answer, For the tidings; because it cometh: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak [as] water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass, saith the Lord GOD.

8 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nochako obirona kama:

Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

9 “Wuod dhano, kor wach kinyiso ji ni Jehova Nyasaye wacho kama: “‘Ligangla, yaye ligangla mopiagi mabith kendo oywe maler,

Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:

10 opiage mondo oneki kendo oyweye mondo omil ka polo! “‘Bende dwamor adier kuom ludh loch mar Juda wuoda? Nikech mano to kede akeda ma ligangla ohewo.

It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemneth the rod of my son, [as] every tree.

11 “‘Omiyo ligangla ema koro iyweyo mondo ochak tich, ipiage kendo iyweye mondo okete e lwet janek.

And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.

12 Wuod dhano, go nduru kendo dengi, nikech liganglano ochomo joga; ochomo yawuot ruodhi mag Israel duto. Osedirgi e dho ligangla kaachiel gi joga. Emomiyo go nduru kindego nikech wachno!

Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it [shall be] upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon [thy] thigh.

13 “‘Adier tem biro ma ok olew, kendo ludh loch mar Juda ok bi siko. Ere gima odongʼ maditim ni joma ochayo ligangla, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.’

Because [it is] a trial, and what if [the sword] contemn even the rod? it shall be no [more], saith the Lord GOD.

14 “Kuom mano, wuod dhano, kor wach kendo ipam lweti kanyakla. We ligangla mondo oneg ji nyadiriyo kata nyadidek. En ligangla mar nek, adier en ligangla mar nek maduongʼ, moluorogi.

Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite [thine] hands together, and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it [is] the sword of the great [men that are] slain, which entereth into their privy chambers.

15 Aseketo ligangla mar nek e dhorangeyeni duto, mondo omi chunygi onyosre kendo ji mangʼeny notho. Abwogo dalagi gi ligangla mamil ka polo, kendo moikore mondo oneki.

I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that [their] heart may faint, and [their] ruins be multiplied: ah! [it is] made bright, [it is] wrapped up for the slaughter.

16 Yaye in ligangla mabith neg ji koni gi koni, kendo ineg ji kamoro amora michomo.

Go thee one way or other, [either] on the right hand, [or] on the left, whithersoever thy face [is] set.

17 An bende abiro pamo lweta, kendo mirimba mager biro rumo. An Jehova Nyasaye ema asewacho kamano.”

I will also smite mine hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest: I the LORD have said [it].

18 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,

19 “Wuod dhano, ket ranyisi mar ligangla kar yore ariyo ma ruodh Babulon biro luwo gi jolwenje, ranyisigo nyaka chakre e piny Babulon. Ket ranyisi moro e akerkeke yorego ma siemo dala maduongʼ.

Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both twain shall come forth out of one land: and choose thou a place, choose [it] at the head of the way to the city.

20 Ket ranyisi kama yo pogorego mondo onyis yo madonjo Raba mar jo-Amon, to machielo madonjo Juda kendo moro madonjo Jerusalem mochiel motegno.

Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced.

21 Nimar ruodh Babulon biro chungʼ e akerkeke mar yo, kama yore ariyogo oriworego mondo ogo gagi kama: Obiro goyo ombulu gi ligangla kendo obiro penjo nyisechege molamo wach, bende obiro rango chuny chiayo motimgo misango mondo ongʼe yo monego oluw.

For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he made [his] arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the liver.

22 Otingʼo asere mondik ni Jerusalem e lwete ma korachwich, mondo omi ongʼe ni odhi Jerusalem, kogiyo sigich lweny kendo oloso lodi mitwomogo dhorangeye, bende ogingo pidhe mag lowo kendo okunyo buche milworogo ohinga.

At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint [battering] rams against the gates, to cast a mount, [and] to build a fort.

23 Obiro nenore kaka chich mar miriambo ni joma oseloso kode winjruok, to obiro paronigi kethogi mi okawgi kaka wasumbini.

And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, to them that have sworn oaths: but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken.

24 “Kuom mano, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho kama: ‘Nikech usemiyo richou onenore kuom kethou mutimo, kendo ka unyiso richou oyanga kuom gik mutimo; omiyo koro ibiro teru e twech kaka wasumbini.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because, [I say], that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.

25 “‘Yaye ruodh jo-Israel ma timbene mono kendo richo, in bende ndaloni osechopo ma ibiro kumie mogik.

And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity [shall have] an end,

26 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Lony kilemba mitweyo e wiye kendo igol osimbo mar loch. Nikech gik moko ok bi bedo kaka ne gin chon: Joma ni piny ibiro tingʼ malo, to joma idewo wangʼ-gi ibiro dwok piny.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this [shall] not [be] the same: exalt [him that is] low, and abase [him that is] high.

27 Yaye gunda, yaye gunda, abiro miyo obed gunda adier! Ok nolose kendo nyaka chop ngʼat ma wuon-go hie nobi, kendo en ema anamiyego.’

I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no [more], until he come whose right it is; and I will give it [him].

28 “To in wuod dhano, kor wach kendo ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho kuom jo-Amon gi ayenjegi: “‘Ligangla, yaye ligangla, osewuodhi oko, opiage kendo oyweye maler komil ka polo mondo oneki!

And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say thou, The sword, the sword [is] drawn: for the slaughter [it is] furbished, to consume because of the glittering:

29 Kata obedo ni osene fweny mag miriambo kuomi kendo osego gagi mag miriambo kuomi, to ibiro yieyogi e ngʼut, joma timbegi richo mibiro negi, joma odiechieng-gi ochopo kendo e kinde ma onego kumgie osechopo.

Whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine a lie unto thee, to bring thee upon the necks of [them that are] slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity [shall have] an end.

30 “‘Dwok ligangla e olalone. Kama ne onywolie, e lop kwereni, ema abiro ngʼadonie bura.

Shall I cause [it] to return into his sheath? I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity.

31 Abiro olo mirimba mager kuomi kendo abiro olo mirimba maliel ka mach kuomi; bende abiro e lwet jo-mahundu, ma gin joma olony e ketho gik moko.

And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee, I will blow against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, [and] skilful to destroy.

32 Ubiro doko mafuta mimokogo mach rembu biro chwer e pinyu, ok nochak oparu kendo; nimar an Jehova Nyasaye ema asewacho kamano!’”

Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no [more] remembered: for I the LORD have spoken [it].
