Ezekiel 21

1 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

And there is a word of Jehovah 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 unto Jerusalem, and prophesy unto the holy places, and prophesy unto the ground 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 thou hast said unto the ground of Israel: Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against thee, And have brought out My sword from its scabbard, And have cut off from thee righteous and 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.

Because that I have cut off from thee righteous and wicked, Therefore go out doth My sword from its scabbard, Unto all flesh, from south to north.

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

And known have all flesh that I, Jehovah, Have brought out My sword from its scabbard, It doth not turn back any more.

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

And thou, son of man, sigh with breaking of loins, yea, with bitterness thou dost 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 hath come to pass, when they say unto thee, For what art thou sighing? that thou hast said: Because of the report, for it is coming, And melted hath every heart, And feeble hath been all hands, And weak is every spirit, And all knees go — waters, Lo, it is coming, yea, it hath been, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'

8 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nochako obirona kama:

And there is a word of Jehovah 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 thou hast said, Thus said Jehovah, say: A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also polished.

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.

So as to slaughter a slaughter it is sharpened. So as to have brightness it is polished, Desire hath rejoiced the sceptre of my son, It is despising every tree.

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

And he giveth it for polishing, For laying hold of by the hand. It is sharpened — the sword — and polished, To give it into the hand of a 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 hath been among My people, It [is] among all the princes of Israel, Cast unto the sword have been My people. Therefore strike on 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 trier, And what if even the sceptre it is despising? It shall not be, an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

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.

And thou, son of man, prophesy, And smite hand on hand, And bent is the sword a third time, The sword of the wounded! It [is] the sword of the wounded — the great one, That is entering the inner chamber to them.

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.

To melt the heart, and to multiply the ruins, By all their gates I have set the point of a sword. Ah, it is made for brightness, Wrapped up for slaughter.

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

Take possession of the right, place thyself at the left, Whither thy face is appointed.

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

And I also, I smite My hand on my hand, And have caused My fury to rest; I, Jehovah, have spoken.'

18 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, 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.

'And thou, son of man, appoint for thee two ways, for the coming in of the sword of the king of Babylon; from one land they come forth, both of them, and a station prepare thou, at the top of the way of the city prepare [it].

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

A way appoint for the coming of the sword, Unto Rabbath of the sons of Ammon, And to Judah, in Jerusalem — the fenced.

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 stood hath the king of Babylon at the head of the way, At the top of the two ways, to use divination, He hath moved lightly with the arrows, He hath asked at the teraphim, He hath looked on 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 hath been the divination — Jerusalem, To place battering-rams, To open the mouth with slaughter, To lift up a voice with shouting, To place battering-rams against the gates, To pour out a mount, to build a fortification.

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

And it hath been to them as a false divination in their eyes, Who have sworn oaths to them, And he is causing iniquity to be remembered to be caught.

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 said the Lord Jehovah: Because of your causing your iniquity to be remembered, In your transgressions being revealed, For your sins being seen, in all your doings, Because of your being remembered, By the hand ye are caught.

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

And thou, wounded, wicked one, Prince of Israel, whose day hath come, In the time of the iniquity of the 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 said the Lord Jehovah: Turn aside the mitre, and bear away the crown, This — not this — the low make high, And the high make low.

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.’

An overturn, overturn, overturn, I make it, Also this hath not been till the coming of Him, Whose [is] the judgment, and I have given it.

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 thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah concerning the sons of Ammon, and concerning their reproach: and thou hast said: A sword, a sword, open for slaughter, Polished to the utmost for brightness!

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.

In the seeing for thee of a vain thing, In the divining for thee of a lie, To put thee on the necks of the wounded of the wicked, whose day hath come, In the time of the iniquity of the end.

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

Turn [it] back unto its scabbard, In the place where thou wast produced, In the land of thy birth I do judge thee.

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 have poured on thee Mine indignation, With fire of My wrath I blow against thee, And have given thee into the hand of brutish men — artificers of destruction.

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

To the fire thou art for fuel, Thy blood is in the midst of the land, Thou art not remembered, For I, Jehovah, have spoken!'
