Ezekiel 3
1 Nomedo wachona niya, “Wuod dhano, cham gima ni e nyimi, cham weche mondikie kalatasni, bangʼe idhi iwuo gi dhood Israel.”
And he said to me: Son of man, eat all that thou shalt find: eat this book, and go speak to the children of Israel.
2 Omiyo ne ayawo dhoga, mi nomiya weche mondikie kalatasni mondo acham.
And I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that book:
3 Eka nowachona niya, “Wuod dhano, cham weche mamiyi mondik e kalatasni, mondo ipongʼ-go iyi.” Omiyo ne achame, kendo ne omit ka mor kich e dhoga.
And he said to me: Son of man, thy belly shall eat, and thy bowels shall be filled with this book, which I give thee. And I did eat it: and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.
4 Koro nowachona niya, Wuod dhano, koro dhi ir dhood Israel mondo iwach nigi wechena.
And he said to me: Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and thou shalt speak my words to them.
5 Ok aori ir joma wacho dhok mikia kata ma dhogi tek, to iori ir dhood Israel.
For thou art not sent to a people of a profound speech, and of an unknown tongue, but to the house of Israel:
6 Ok ir ogendini mathoth ma dhogi ikia kata ma dhogi winjo tek, ma ok inyal winjo tiend weche ma giwacho. Chutho gin ka dine aori irgi to dine giwinji.
Nor to many nations of a strange speech, and of an unknown tongue, whose words thou canst not understand: and if thou wert sent to them, they would hearken to thee.
7 To dhood Israel ok oikore winji nikech ok oikore winja, nimar gin joma chunygi tek kendo tokgi tek.
But the house of Israel will not hearken to thee: because they will not hearken to me: for all the house of Israel are of a hard forehead and an obstinate heart.
8 To abiro miyo wangʼi bed matek kendo wiyi bed matek mana kaka gin.
Behold I have made thy face stronger than their faces: and thy forehead harder than their foreheads.
9 Abiro miyo toki bed matek ka lwanda matek mogik, kendo matek moloyo kit ombo. Kik iluorgi kendo kata bwok kik ibwogi, kata obedo ni gin dhoot mohero ngʼanyo.
I have made thy face like an adamant and like flint: fear them not, neither be thou dismayed at their presence: for they are a provoking house.
10 Kendo nowachona niya, Wuod dhano, ket chunyi kendo iwinj weche ma awachoni maber.
And he said to me: Son of man, receive in thy heart, and hear with thy ears, all the words that I speak to thee:
11 Dhi sani ir jopinyu manie twech kendo iwuo kodgi, bed ni giyie winji kata gidagi. Wach nigi niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto owacho, kata giyie winji kata gidagi.”
And go get thee in to them of the captivity, to the children of thy people, and thou shalt speak to them, and shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: If so be they will hear and will forbear.
12 Eka Roho mar Nyasaye notingʼa malo, kendo ne awinjo koko maduongʼ malich. Mad duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye yud pak e kar dakne!
And the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great commotion, saying: Blessed be the glory of the Lord, from his place.
13 Ne en koko mag bwombe gik mangima mane fwadhore kuom moro gi wadgi kod koko mar tiendegi mane ni bathgi; koko maduongʼ malich.
And the noise of the wings of the living creatures striking one against another, and the noise of the wheels following the living creatures, and the noise of a great commotion.
14 Eka Roho mar Nyasaye koro notingʼa malo mi ogola kanyo, kendo ne adhi ka iya owangʼ kendo chunya opongʼ gi mirima, ka lwedo maratego mar Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kuoma.
The spirit also lifted me, and took me up: and I went away in bitterness in the indignation of my spirit: for the hand of the Lord was with me, strengthening me.
15 Ne abiro ir joma otwe mane odak Tel Abib but Aora Kebar. Kendo kanyo, kama ne gidakieno; nabet e diergi kuom ndalo abiriyo ka adhier nono.
And I came to them of the captivity, to the heap of new corn, to them that dwelt by the river Chobar, and I sat where they sat: and I remained there seven days mourning in the midst of them.
16 Kane ndalo abiriyo orumo, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
And at the end of seven days the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
17 Wuod dhano, aseketi jarito mar dhood Israel, omiyo winj wach ma awacho, kendo imigi siem ma amiyi.
Son of man, I have made thee a watchman to the house of Israel: and thou shalt hear the word out of my mouth, and shalt tell it them from me.
18 Ka awachone ngʼama timbene richo ni, ibiro tho ma ok itony, to in ok isieme kata ok iwuoyo kode mondo igole e yorene maricho, eka ires ngimane, to ngʼat ma timbene richono biro tho nikech richone, to abiro keto rembe e wiyi.
If, when I say to the wicked, Thou shalt surely die: thou declare it not to him, nor speak to him, that he may be converted from his wicked way, and live: the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy hand.
19 To ka isiemo ngʼat ma timbene richo to odagi lokore mondo owe timbene maricho, to ngʼatno notho nikech richone, to in inires ngimani.
But if thou give warning to the wicked, and he be not converted from his wickedness, and from his evil way: he indeed shall die in his iniquity, but thou hast delivered thy soul.
20 Bende, ka ngʼat makare oweyo timbene mabeyo motimo richo, kendo ka aketo rachwany e nyime, to enotho. To nikech ne ok ikwere, enotho nikech richone owuon. Gik mabeyo mosetimo ok nopar, to rembe to naketi e wiyi.
Moreover if the just man shall turn away from his justice, and shall commit iniquity: I will lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die, because thou hast not given him warning: he shall die in his sin, and his justices which he hath done, shall not be remembered: but I will require his blood at thy hand.
21 To kaponi isiemo ngʼat makare ni kik otim richo, mi ok otimo, to kuom adier, obiro bedo mangima nikech nowinjo siem, kendo in bende inires ngimani.
But if thou warn the just man, that the just may not sin, and he doth not sin: living he shall live, because thou hast warned him, and thou hast delivered thy soul.
22 Bad Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kuoma kanyo, kendo nowachona niya, “Aa malo mondo idhi e pap, kendo abiro wuoyo kodi kuno.”
And the hand of the Lord was upon me, and he said to me: Rise and go forth into the plain, and there I will speak to thee.
23 Omiyo ne aa malo mi awuok adhi oko e pap, kendo duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye nochungʼ kanyo, machal gi duongʼ manoyudo aseneno e bath Aora Kebar, mine apodho auma.
And I rose up, and went forth into the plain: and behold the glory of the Lord stood there, like the glory which I saw by the river Chobar: and I fell upon my face.
24 Eka Roho mar Nyasaye nobiro kuoma mochunga malo. Ne owuoyo koda mowacho niya, “Dhiyo mondo ilorri e odi.
And the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet: and he spoke to me, and said to me: Go in; and shut thyself up in the midst of thy house.
25 To in, wuod dhano, gibiro tweyi gi ngoche, kendo gibiro ridi matek ma ok inyal wuok mondo idhi ir jou.
And thou, O son of man, behold they shall put bands upon thee, and they shall bind thee with them: and thou shalt not go forth from the midst of them.
26 Abiro miyo lewi moki e dandi, mondo eka ilingʼ ma ok inyal kwerogi, kata obedo ni gin dhoot mohero ngʼanyo kamano.
And I will make thy tongue stick fast to the roof of thy mouth, and thou shalt be dumb, and not as a man that reproveth: because they are a provoking house.
27 To ka achako awuoyo kodi kendo to abiro yawo dhogi, kendo ibiro wachonegi ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho.’ Ngʼat mohero winji obi owinji awinja, to ngʼat motamore winji bende otamre otama; nikech gin dhoot mohero ngʼanyo.
But when I shall speak to thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: He that heareth, let him hear: and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a provoking house.
