Ezekiel 23

1 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

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

2 “Wuod dhano, ne nitie mon ariyo mane nyi dhako achiel.

“Son of man, two women were daughters of one mother,

3 Negilokore ochode e piny Misri, kendo negichako chodo kapod gin nyiri matindo. Thundegi ne omul kendo ringregi mane pod silili ne odwany e pinyno.

and they fornicated in Egypt; they committed fornication in their youth. In that place, their breasts were conquered; the breasts of their adolescence were subdued.

4 Nyako maduongʼ ne nyinge Ohola, to nyamingi ne en Oholiba. Ne gin joga kendo neginywolo yawuowi gi nyiri. Ohola en Samaria to Oholiba en Jerusalem.

Now their names were Oholah, the elder, and Oholibah, her younger sister. And I held them, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names: Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.

5 “Ohola nohore gi timbe mag chode kane pod en mara; kendo ne en gombo mar chode mathoth gi joherane ma jolweny mag Asuria;

And then, Oholah committed fornication against me, and she acted madly with her lovers, with the Assyrians who approached her,

6 mane rwako lewni marambulu gi jotendgi kod jotend jolweny, ma giduto ne gin yawuowi matindo mabeyo moidho farese.

who were clothed with hyacinth: rulers and magistrates, passionate youths and all of the horsemen, mounted on horses.

7 Nochiwore kaka ochot ne jo-Asuria duto mosomo kendo ne odwanyore gi nyiseche manono duto mag ngʼato angʼata mane chunye gombo.

And she distributed her fornications to those chosen men, all of them sons of the Assyrians. And she defiled herself with the uncleanness of all those whom she madly desired.

8 Ne ok oweyo ngima mar chode mane ochako kapod en Misri, kuma ne chwo teroree kode kane pod otin, kendo nodwanyo ringrene mane pod silili, kendo nochopo gombo duto mag ringregi kuome.

Moreover, she also did not abandon her fornications, which she had done in Egypt. For they also slept with her in her youth, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and they poured out their fornication upon her.

9 “Kuom mano, ne aweye e lwet chotnego, mane gin jo-Asuria, ma gombone noketee.

Because of this, I have delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the sons of the Assur, whom she has lustfully desired.

10 Ne gilonye duk, negikawo yawuote gi nyige gidhigo, kendo neginege gi ligangla. Nolokre ngero e kind mon wetene, kendo nonwangʼo kum mowinjore kode.

They uncovered her shame; they took away her sons and daughters; and they slew her with the sword. And they became infamous women. And they carried out judgments in her.

11 “Nyamin mare ma Oholiba kata obedo ni noneno gik mane otimore ni nyamin, to gombone gi chode mare nomedore mi nokethore moloyo nyamin.

And when her sister, Oholibah, had seen this, she was even more mad with lust than the other. And her fornication was beyond the fornication of her sister.

12 En bende nohewo jo-Asuria gi gombo; kaachiel gi jotendgi, jolweny momanore gi gige kedo, kendo moidho farese; giduto en gin yawuowi maber neno.

She shamelessly offered herself to the sons of the Assyrians, to the rulers and magistrates who brought themselves to her clothed with colorful garments, to the horsemen who were carried by horses, and to the youths, all of them exceptional in appearance.

13 Ne aneno kaka en bende nodwanyore; giduto kargi nyiri ariyo negiluwo yo machalre.

And I saw that she had been defiled, and that they both took the same path.

14 “To en chodene noyombore. Kane oneno pichni mag joma chwo mogur e kor ot, ma gin pichni mag jo-Kaldea mogor makwar,

And she increased her fornications. And when she had seen men depicted on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans, expressed in colors,

15 kotweyo kamba madongo e nungogi kendo korwako kilemba mabeyo e wigi; ka giduto gichalo jotend farese lweny maywayo geche mag, jo-Babulon modak Kaldea.

with belts wrapped around the waist, and with dyed headdresses on their heads, having seen the appearance of all the rulers, the likenesses of the sons of Babylon and of the land of the Chaldeans in which they were born,

16 Kane onenogi anena nii to nogombogi matek mooro joote irgi nyaka Kaldea.

she became mad for them with the desire of her eyes, and she sent messengers to them in Chaldea.

17 Bangʼ mano jo-Babulon nobirone, modhi kode nyaka e kitanda mar chode, kendo ne gidwanye ka gipongʼ gi gombo. Kane jogo osedwanye kamano to ne olokore oweyogi kopongʼ gi mirima.

And when the sons of Babylon had gone to her, to the bed of breasts, they defiled her with their fornications, and she was polluted by them, and her soul was gorged by them.

18 Kane odhi nyime kochodo gi wangʼ teko kendo koelo duge ne chwo, ne alokora aweye ka apongʼ gi mirima, mana kaka ne alokora aweyo nyamin.

Also, her fornications were uncovered, and her shame was revealed. And my soul withdrew from her, as my soul had withdrawn from her sister.

19 To kaka nomedo paro ndalo mane otin, kinde mane en ochot e piny Misri, e kaka nomedo donjo matut e chode.

For she multiplied her fornications, remembering the days of her youth, in which she fornicated in the land of Egypt.

20 Kinde mane en Misri nogombo joma ne timo kode hera, joma duongʼ-gi ne chalo gi mar punda, kendo ma nyodo mane gigolo ne chalo mar faras.

And she was mad with lust after lying with them, whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys, and whose flow is like the flow of horses.

21 Omiyo ne in-gi gombo mar chode kane pod in nyako matin e kinde mane in Misri, kane chwo mulo dendi kendo rucho thundeni ma pod tindo.

And you have revisited the crimes of your youth, when your breasts were conquered in Egypt, and the breasts of your adolescence were subdued.

22 “Kuom mano, Oholiba, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Abiro wako joherani mondo oked kodi, jogo mane ilokori iweyo ka iyi owangʼ, kendo abiro kelogi mondo giked kodi ka gia koni gi koni;

Because of this, Oholibah, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will raise up against you all of your lovers, with whom your soul has been gorged. And I will gather them together against you all around:

23 ma gin jo-Babulon, gi jo-Kaldea, chwo duto moa Pekod gi Shoa kod Koa, kaachiel gi jo-Asuria duto kodgi; yawuowi maber neno, ma giduto gin jotelo, jotend jolweny, gi joriemb farese, kod jotelo madongo, ka giduto giidho farese.

the sons of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, the nobles, the sovereigns and princes, all the sons of the Assyrians, youths of exceptional form, all the rulers and magistrates, the leaders among leaders, and the renowned riders of horses.

24 Gibiro bironi gi gig lweny, gi farese maywayo geche to gi oganda maratipo; gibiro kawo ruothegi mondo giked kodi ka gilwori giketi diere, ka gitingʼo kuodi madongo gi matindo, kendo ka girwako ogute mag lweny. Abiro chiwi e lwetgi mondo okumi, kendo gibiro kumi kaluwore gi chikgi giwegi.

And they will overwhelm you, well-equipped with chariot and wheel, a multitude of peoples. They will be armed against you on every side with armor and shield and helmet. And I will give judgment to their eyes, and they will judge you with their judgments.

25 Abiro chomi tir gi mirimba mopongʼ gi nyiego kendo gibiro tiyi gi mirima mapek. Gibiro ngʼado umi gi iti oko, to joma notony e lwetgi nopodhi e dho ligangla. Gibiro kawo yawuoti gi nyigi gidhigo, to jogo kuomu ma notony mach nowangʼ.

And against you, I will set my zeal, which they will execute upon you with fury. They will cut off your nose and your ears. And what remains will fall by the sword. They will seize your sons and your daughters, and your youngest will be devoured by fire.

26 Bende gibiro lonyi duk mi gikaw gik milichorigo ma nengogi tek mi gidhigo.

And they will strip you of your vestments, and take away the articles of your glory.

27 Kamano e kaka anatiek timbeni mag chode mane ichako kane pod in Misri. Ok inichak igomb dok e timbenigo, Misri bende ok inichak ipar kendo.

And I will cause your wickedness to cease from you, and your fornication to cease from the land of Egypt. Neither shall you lift up your eyes toward them, and you shall no longer remember Egypt.

28 “Nikech ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Achiegni chiwi e lwet joma ichayo, kendo e lwet jomane ilokori iweyo ka in-gi mirima.

For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will deliver you into the hands of those whom you have hated, into the hands by which your soul has been gorged.

29 Ginibed mamon kodi kendo gibiro kawo gimoro amora ma isetiyone e ngimani duto. Gibiro weyi duk nono li, kendo wichkuot mar chodeni ibiro el e lela.

And they will act toward you with hatred, and they will take away all your labors, and they will send you away naked and filled with disgrace. And the shame of your fornication will be revealed: your crimes and your fornications.

30 Gomboni mar chode ema osekeloni chandruokni, nikech ne ihawo ogendini mamoko gi gombo, kendo nikech ne idwanyori gi nyisechegi manono.

They have done these things to you, because you have fornicated after the Gentiles, among whom you were defiled by their idols.

31 Iseluwo yor nyameru; emomiyo abiro keto kikombene e lweti.

You have walked in the way of your sister, and so I will give her chalice into your hand.

32 “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: “Ibiro madho kikombe mar nyaminu, kikombe moyarore kendo matut; en kikombe mabiro keloni achaya gi wichkuot nikech otingʼo gik mangʼeny.

Thus says the Lord God: You will drink the chalice of your sister, deep and wide. You will be held in derision and in ridicule, to a very great extent.

33 En kikombe mar mer kod kuyo, machalo mana gi kikombe mar masira kod kethruok, ma Samaria nyaminu nomethoe.

You will be filled with inebriation and sorrow, by the chalice of grief and sadness, by the chalice of your sister Samaria.

34 Ibiro madhe mi ilungʼe pep; ibiro goye piny motere matindo tindo, kendo obiro yiecho thundeni. Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ema osewacho kamano.

And you will drink it, and you will empty it, even to the dregs. And you will consume even its particles. And you will wound your own breasts. For I have spoken, says the Lord God.

35 “Emomiyo ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Nikech wiu osewil koda kendo usejwangʼa, koro nyaka uyud pok maromre gi timbeu mag chode.”

Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since you have forgotten me, and you have cast me behind your body, so also will you bear your wickedness and your fornications.”

36 Jehova Nyasaye nowachona kama: “Wuod dhano, donge inyalo ngʼado bura ni Ohola gi Oholiba? Ka inyalo timo kamano to chomgi tir gi timbegi mamonogo,

And the Lord spoke to me, saying: “Son of man, should you not judge Oholah and Oholibah, and announce to them their crimes?

37 nikech giseterore kendo remo ni e lwetgi. Negiterore gi nyisechegi manono; ne gichiwonegi koda ka nyithindgi mane ginywolona, kaka chiembgi.

For they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands, and they have fornicated with their idols. Moreover, they have offered even their children, whom they bore for me, to them to be devoured.

38 Gimachielo magisetimona ema: Gisedwanyo kara maler mar lemo kendo giseketho Sabato maga e odiechiengʼ achiel machalre.

But they have done even this to me: They have defiled my sanctuary on the same day, and they have profaned my Sabbaths.

39 E odiechiengʼ nogono mane gichiwe nyithindgi kaka misango ni nyisechegi manono, ema negidonjoe e kara maler mar lemo mi gidwanye. Mano e gima negitimo e oda.

And when they immolated their children to their idols, they also entered my sanctuary on the same day, so that they defiled it. They have done these things, even in the midst of my house.

40 “Bende negioro joote mondo odhi oluong chwo moa e piny mabor mi jogo nobiro. Eka mon ariyogo noluokore mi owiro wangʼ-gi kendo olichore gi gik ma nengogi tek.

They sent for men who were coming from far away, to whom they had sent a messenger. And so, behold, they arrived, those for whom you washed yourself, and smeared cosmetics around your eyes, and were adorned with feminine ornaments.

41 Negibedo e kom molos maber kendo mayom, gi mesa mopedhi maber kama nuketoe ubani mangʼwe ngʼar kaachiel gi modhi mangʼwe ngʼar mane onego bed mara.

You sat upon a very beautiful bed, and a table was adorned before you, on which you placed my incense and my ointment.

42 “Bangʼe mahu mar oganda ma ok dew gimoro nowinjo; ne gin jo-Sebea moa e thim kaachiel gi joma chwo mojwangʼore. Ne girwakonegi bangli kendo ne gitweyonegi otembini mabeyo e wigi.

And the voice of a multitude was exulting within her. And concerning certain men, who were being led out of a multitude of persons, and who were arriving from the desert, they placed bracelets on their hands and beautiful crowns on their heads.

43 Eka ne awacho kuom ngʼat mane timbe chode osenurono ni, ‘Koro we giti kode kaka ochot, nikech mano e gima en.’

And I said about her, as she was being worn away by her adulteries, ‘Even now, she continues in her fornication!’

44 Kendo negiterore kode. Mana kaka chwo terore gi ochode e kaka negiterore gi mon mokethorego, ma gin Ohola gi Oholiba.

And they entered to her, as if to a kept woman. So did they enter to Oholah and Oholibah, nefarious women.

45 Joma kare nokwed mon-go kuom timbegi mag terruok kod chwero remo, nikech terruok kod chwero remo ni e lwetgi.

But there are just men; these shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses and with the judgment of those who shed blood. For they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands.

46 “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Kel oganda mar jo-mahundu mondo omonj-gi kendo oyakgi.

For thus says the Lord God: Lead upon them a multitude, and hand them over to tumult and to pillaging.

47 Ogandago biro chielogi gi kite kendo gibiro negogi gi ligangla mag-gi; gibiro nego yawuotgi gi nyigi, kendo gibiro wangʼo utegi.

And may they be stoned with the stones of the peoples, and may they be pierced with their own swords. They will put to death their sons and daughters, and they will burn their houses with fire.

48 “Omiyo mano e kaka abiro tieko timbe mag chode e pinyno, mondo obed siem ni mon duto kik terre kaka mon ariyogo osetimo.

And I will take away wickedness from the land. And all women shall learn not to act according to their wickedness.

49 Ibiro yudo kum kuom kethruok mari kendo ibiro tingʼo chandruok ma richoni mar lamo nyiseche manono okeloni. Eka iningʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto.”

And they will set your own crimes upon you, and you will bear the sins of your idols. And you shall know that I am the Lord God.”
