Ezekiel 22
1 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 “Wuod dhano, donge dingʼadni Jerusalem bura? Donge dingʼadni dala maduongʼ michwere remoni bura? Ka inyalo timo kamano to chome tir gi timbene mamono duto
“You human, are you ready to condemn the people of Jerusalem? It is [RHQ] a city full of murderers [MTY]. Remind them of all the detestable things that they have done.
3 kendo iwachne ni: ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Yaye dala maduongʼ makelo ni en owuon chandruok kuom chwero remo e dier joge, kendo dwanyore owuon kuom loso nyiseche manono,
[Then] say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: By your murdering people and by (defiling yourselves/making yourselves unacceptable to God) by making idols, you people of this city [APO] have brought to yourselves the time when you [will be destroyed].
4 isedoko jaketho nikech remo misechwero, kendo isedoko mogak nikech nyiseche miseloso. Isemiyo ndaloni odoko machwok, kendo giko mar ndalo midakgo e piny osechopo. Kuom mano, abiro miyo idoko gima ogendini mamoko jaro kendo abiro miyo pinje duto nyieri.
You have become guilty by doing both of those things [DOU]. You have brought to an end your time [to remain alive] [DOU]. Therefore I will cause you to become a group whom the [people of other] nations will scorn; they will all laugh at you [DOU].
5 Joma odak machiegni kod joma odak mabor kodi biro jari, yaye in dala maduongʼ ma humbe rach, kendo mopongʼ gi koko.
People in countries that are near you and people who live far from you will make fun of you, because your city is full of lawless people and full of confusion.
6 “‘Neye kaka jotend Israel modak e dieru konyore gi tekogi mar chwero remo.
Think about how each of your Israeli kings have used their power to cause people to be murdered [MTY].
7 Isejwangʼo wuone gi mine marach; ithiro jopinje mamoko modak e dieru; nyithind kiye gi mon ma chwogi otho bende isando.
Your people do not respect/honor their parents; they have oppressed foreigners; they mistreat orphans and widows.
8 Isechayo giga maler moket tenge ne tichna kendo isedwanyo Sabato maga.
You despise my sacred places and (dishonor/do not respect) the Sabbath days.
9 Idak gi acheje moikore ne chwero remo, kaachiel gi joma chiemo ewi gode mitime lisweche, kod joma timo timbe ma ok owinjore.
Among you are men who tell lies in order to cause others to be executed [MTY]. There are those who [food offered to idols] at the hilltop [shrines], and they perform disgusting sexual acts.
10 Idak gi joma terore gi mond wuonegi; kendo joma riwore gi mon mantiere e kindegi mag neno malo kendo mogak.
There are men who have sex with their father’s wives [EUP], and men who have sex with women during their monthly menstrual periods.
11 Nitie chwo modak kodi matimo tim mamono ka giterore gi monde ji, nyaka mond yawuotgi kendo gi nyiminegi hie, ma nyathi wuon mare.
There are men who have sex with someone else’s wife. Some men have sex with their daughters-in-law or with their sisters or half-sisters.
12 Idak gi joma oyie kawo asoya mondo gichwer remo; umayo ji kendo ukawo ohala malangʼ kuom gik muholo ji; kendo kuom wuochu mokalo tongʼ, uwuondo joweteu kumayogi marach. Kendo wiu osewil koda, an Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ema asewacho kamano.
There are among you men who accept bribes in order to cause someone to be executed [MTY]. You charge high interest when you lend people money. You become rich by forcing people to give you money. [the worst thing is that] you have forgotten me, Yahweh the Lord.
13 “‘Asingora adier ni abiro rieyo bada mi akumu kuom ohala museyudo e yo ma ok kare, kendo kuom remo musechwero e dieru.
So I will shake my fists at you to show that I am angry with you because of your stealing money from people and murdering [MTY] people who live among you.
14 Bende chir ma un-go sani biro siko, kata bedeu bende biro siko kotegno, chiengʼ ma anabi mondo akumu? An Jehova Nyasaye ema asewacho kendo abiro timo kamano.
When I [punishing] you, you will no longer [RHQ] be courageous/brave [DOU]. I, Yahweh, have said [what I will do to you], and I will do it.
15 Abiro keyou e dier ogendini mi ateru e pinje mopogore opogore; bende abiro neno ni gak mugakgo orumo.
I will cause you to be scattered among many nations [DOU], and I will cause you to stop your sinful behavior.
16 Ka osejaru e dier ogendini, eka unungʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.’”
When [the people of other] nations see that you have been humiliated, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
17 Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
Yahweh [also] said to me,
18 “Wuod dhano, dhood Israel osedoko chuoth fedha e nyima; giduto gin kaka gik maonge tich modongʼ bangʼ lenyo mula, kata nyinyo, kata fedha, kata chuma, kata kendo miwangʼoe gigo. Giduto gin mana chwodho mag fedha.
“You human, your Israeli people [MTY] have [useless] to me. They are [like] [MET] dross/slag to me. They are like [SIM] [worthless] copper, tin, iron, and lead that remains after silver is melted in [very hot] furnace.
19 Kuom mano, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: ‘Nikech un duto usedoko chuoth fedha, abiro chokou kaachiel nyaka Jerusalem.
Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: Because you have all become [like] dross/slag, I will gather you in Jerusalem.
20 Mana kaka ji choko fedha, mula, chuma kod nyinyo mopogore opogore e karaya mondo olenygi gi mach mager e kendo, e kaka abiro chokou ka iya owangʼ kendo ka an gi mirima mager mi aketu ei dala maduongʼ kendo atieku kanyo.
People [ore containing] silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin in a [very hot] furnace and melt them in a blazing [to burn up the impurities]. Similarly [SIM], I will gather you [inside Jerusalem], and because I am very angry with you, [what I will do will be as though] I am melting you.
21 Abiro chokou kendo abiro riembou gi mirimba mager, mi unuleny nono ka un e iye.
[It will be as though] I will blow on you with a hot breath that shows that I am very angry, [it will be as though] you will be melted,
22 Kaka ilenyo fedha e kendo, e kaka un bende nolenyu kuom mach, kendo unungʼe ni an Jehova Nyasaye ema aseolo mirimba mager kuomu.’”
as though you will be melted like [SIM] silver is melted in a furnace, and then you will know that I, Yahweh, have poured out my punishment [MTY] on you.”
23 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
24 “Wuod dhano, wach ni piny ni, ‘In piny mapok oneno koth kata nyidho gi wangʼe e kinde mane akelo mirimba.’
“You human, say to the Israeli people, ‘[Yahweh] is angry with you, there has been no rain or showers in your country.’
25 Nitiere kit winjruok marach e kind jotelo manie pinyno machalo mana gi sibuor maruto to kidho le momako; ginego ji, gimayo ji mwandugi gi gig-gi mabeyo kendo gimiyo mon mangʼeny doko mon ma chwogi otho.
Your leaders are like [SIM] lions that tear apart the animals that they have killed. Your leaders destroy their people. They steal treasures and [other] valuable things from people, and they cause many women to become [by murdering their husbands].
26 Jonabi mage ketho chikena kendo dwanyo giga maler; ok gine pogruok manie kind gik maler gi gik mamoko; gipuonjo ni onge pogruok manie kind gik ma ok ler gi gik maler; kendo gidino wengegi ni rito Sabato maga, momiyo koro nyinga ok mi duongʼ e diergi.
Their priests disobey my laws and disrespect my sacred things by saying that there is no difference between things that are sacred and those that are not sacred, and by ignoring my laws about honoring the Sabbath days. As a result, they no [longer] honor me.
27 Jotelo mag pinyno chalo ondiegi makidho le ma gimako; gichwero remo kendo ginego ji mondo owenigi thuolo mar yudo ohala e yor mecho.
Their officials are like [SIM] wolves that tear apart the animals that they have killed: They murder people [DOU] in order to get their money.
28 Jonabi mage to umo timbegi gi fweny mag miriambo kod gagi mag wuond. Giwacho ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho,’ ka Jehova Nyasaye to pok owuoyo.
Their prophets, by falsely saying they have received [from God], and by giving false messages, try to (cover up [MET]/say that it is all right to commit) those sins. They say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says,’ when I have said nothing to them.
29 Jopiny mecho e yor wuond kendo mayo ji githuon; githiro joma odhier gi joma ochando kendo gisando jodak, ka gituonogi adiera margi.
The Israeli people force others to give them money, and they rob people. They oppress poor [DOU] people, and they mistreat foreigners among them by not treating them [in the courts].
30 “Ne amanyo ngʼato moro e diergi mane nyalo gero ohinga kendo mane nyalo chungʼ e nyima kaka ogayi mochungʼne piny, mondo kik akethe, to ne ok ayudo ngʼato.
I looked among them to find a man who would cause the people of the city to repent [MET] so that I would not need to get rid of them. But I did not find anyone.
31 Omiyo koro abiro olo mirimba kuomgi kendo abiro tiekogi gi mirimba mager, ka aketo e wigi giwegi gik moko duto maricho gisetimo, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ema owacho.”
So because I am very angry with them, I will severely punish them [MTY] for [all] the wicked things that they have done. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh the Lord, have said it.”
