Ezekiel 26
1 Odiechiengʼ mokwongo mar dwe, e higa mar apar gachiel, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
Almost twelve [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said to me,
2 “Wuod dhano, Turo ogoyo mahu kuom Jerusalem kama: Dhorangeye mag ogendini osekethore, kendo dhoudi mage koro oyaworena malach; mi odongʼ gunda, omiyo koro abiro dhi maber.
“You human, [the people of] Tyre [city] shouted joyfully and said about Jerusalem, ‘[Jerusalem, ] the city from which many traders/merchants went to many nations, is now destroyed. And now people from all over the world will come to us to buy and sell things. Because Jerusalem has now been ruined, we will prosper!’
3 Kuom mano, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Akwedi, yaye Turo, kendo abiro kelo pinje mathoth mondo oked kodi, mana ka nam madhwolo apakane.
Therefore, this is what [I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘I am now the enemy of [you people of] Tyre. I will [the armies of] many nations to come and attack your [city], like the waves of the sea beat against the shores.
4 Gibiro ketho ohinga mag Turo kendo gibiro muko chiel mag-gi mag siro lweny; abiro ywero lope momewo oko mi odongʼ lwanda lilo.
Their soldiers will destroy the walls around Tyre and tear down its towers. Tyre will become a place where people from many nations steal valuable things, [and then the city will be completely destroyed]. Then they will scrape away the rubble and cause the city to become a bare rock.
5 Lwandano nolokre chula ma jolupo moye tondegi nikech an Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto asewacho kamano. In Turo, ogendini noyaki,
Out in the sea, Tyre will become an island where men spread [their fishing] nets to dry them. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have predicted it.
6 kendo gininegi joma odak e miechi gi ligangla ma ok ni e chula. Eka giningʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.
The people in small villages on the coast near Tyre will be killed [their enemies’] swords. Then people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’
7 “Nikech ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto owacho: Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon, ma en ruoth maduongʼie moloyo ruodhi mag pinyni, biro biro koa nyandwat ka en gi farese mathoth gi geche mag lweny, gi joidh farese gi oganda lweny maduongʼ mondo omonj Turo.
This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, [is going to happen]: ‘From the north, I am going to bring the most powerful king [in the world], King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, [with his army] to attack Tyre. They will bring horses and chariots, and men who ride the horses [and men who drive the chariots]; it will be a huge army.
8 Jogi modak e mier ma ok ni e chula noneg gi ligangla; wasikigo nokuny buche mi giket pidhe mag lowo mogingore e bath ohingani, kendo ginimonji ka gigengʼore gi kuodi.
[In the battles in the small villages] on the coast, their soldiers will kill [many] people with their swords. [Then] they will set up devices to batter the wall around the city of Tyre, and they will build a dirt ramp up to the top of the wall, and they will all hold up shields [to protect themselves from arrows being shot from the ground].
9 Obiro chomo ohinga magi gi lodi mage madongo mag muko gik moko, mi omuk kuondegi motingʼore gi malo gi gige mag lweny.
The king will direct the soldiers who operate the (rams/things) to batter the walls, and who will use their iron bars to tear down the towers in the wall.
10 Faresene nobed mangʼeny miwuoro mi buru ma tiendegi dhwolo ka giringo noumi. Ohinga magi noyiengni kowinjo koko mag farese mag lweny gi geche man-gi tiende ariyo mag lweny kod geche moum wigi man-gi tiende angʼwen, chiengʼ ma enodonj gie dhorangeyeni kaka ji donjo e dala maduongʼ ma ohinga mare osenyon mopiel piny.
The king will have a huge number of horses, [the stamping of their hooves will result in] the city being covered with dust. [It will be as though] the walls will tremble because of the noise made by the horses, the [supply] wagons, and the chariots when they enter the city where the walls have been broken down.
11 Ombongʼ faresene nonyon yore duto mag dalani maduongʼ, obiro nego jogi duto gi ligangla, kendo siro magi maroteke nopodh piny.
The horses will trample all of the [of the city] with their hooves. The soldiers will kill the people with their swords; and they will cause your strong pillars to (collapse/fall to the ground).
12 Gibiro yako mwandugi kendo ginikaw gigi mag ohala; gibiro muko ohinga magi mi gigo piny, kendo gibiro ketho utegi mabeyo mi gidir kitegi, gi bepegi, gi matafare motore-otore e nam.
They will take away all the people’s valuable possessions and steal the things that the merchants sell. They will tear down the walls of the houses and destroy their fine houses. Then they will throw into the sea the stones [from the walls] of those houses and the timber and the rubble.
13 Abiro tieko wendegi mag kokogo kendo thumbe duto migoyo mag nyatiti ok nochak owinji kendo.
No longer will you sing noisy songs, and people will not play their harps any more.
14 Abiro loki lwanda lilo, mi ilokri kama jolupo moyoe tonde. Ok nochak ogeri kendo, nikech an Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ema asewacho kamano.
The enemy soldiers will cause the city to become a bare rock and [only] a place where men spread [their fishing] nets. And the city will never be rebuilt. [Those things will surely happen] because [I], Yahweh the Lord, have [that they will happen].’
15 “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho ne Turo: Donge pinje manie dho nembe biro tetni kowinjo koko mar podho mari, chiengʼ ma joma ohinyore marach nochur gi rem kendo ka inego ji e pinye?
This is [also] what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say about [the people of] Tyre: ‘When the wounded [people in Tyre] groan and many people are slaughtered and the city is destroyed, [it will surely be as though] [RHQ] the areas along the coast will tremble.
16 Eka yawuot ruodhi duto mag pinje manie dho nam nowuog e kombegi mag loch kendo ginilony lepgi mag loch gi lepgi motwangʼ gi usi mabeyo beyo. Ginibed piny ka gihum nono kendo ka gisiko gitetni, nikech umako dhogi.
Then all the kings [in the cities] along the coast will step down from their thrones and lay aside their robes and their embroidered clothes. They will be terrified, and they will sit on the ground, trembling. They will be appalled because of what has happened to the city of Tyre.
17 Ginichuognu wer moro ma giywagougo, kendo giniwachnu ni: “‘Mano kaka otieki malit, yaye dala maduongʼ mongʼere, ma jonam odakie! Ne in gi teko maduongʼ ewi nembe madongo, in kaachiel gi jogi; ne ikelo bwok maduongʼ ne ji duto modak kuno.
Then they will sing a sad song about the city, and they will sing this: “The famous city [APO], in which many [who sailed on] the seas lived, is now destroyed! The people of that city had great power [because they had many ships that sailed] on the seas; they caused all the people who lived near them to be terrified.
18 Koro pinje manie dho nam tetni e odiechiengʼ mar podho mari; kendo chula manie nam luoro omako nikech podho mari.’
Now on the day when that city is destroyed, [it is as though the people in] the areas along the coast tremble and the [the people on the] islands in the sea are terrified because of that city being ruined.”’
19 “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Ka anami ibed dala maduongʼ modongʼ gunda, machal gi mier madongo matinde ji ok odakie, kendo ka analuong nembe matut mondo oimi gi ataro mar pi,
This is also what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘When I cause the city [of Tyre] to become desolate/empty, like [other] cities in which people no [longer] live, and when I cause the huge waves of the sea to cover it,
20 abiro teri e piny joma otho, mondo idag kuno gi joma nosetho chon. Abiro miyo idagi e piny manie bwo lowono, kibudho e bur matut e kind gik machon mokethore mi ok inichak iduog e piny joma ngima.
then I will bring the people of that city down to be with those who have gone down to where the dead people are, people who lived long ago. I will cause them to remain in the place below the earth that is like old/ancient ruins, with those who have gone down to that pit [previously], and they will never return to the earth, to where people are alive.
21 Abiro miyo giko mari bedo marach miwuoro, kendo ok nochak oneni kendo. Ji nomanyi, to ok nochak oyudi kendo, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ema owacho.”
I will cause them to die in a horrible way (OR, people will be very afraid because of what happens to that city), and that will be the end of (them/their lives). People will search for that city but it will no longer exist. [That is what I, ] Yahweh the Lord, declare [will happen].’”
