< Ezekiel 3 >

1 Nomedo wachona niya, “Wuod dhano, cham gima ni e nyimi, cham weche mondikie kalatasni, bangʼe idhi iwuo gi dhood Israel.”
Moreover he said to me, Son of man, eat that you find; eat this roll, and go speak to the house of Israel.
2 Omiyo ne ayawo dhoga, mi nomiya weche mondikie kalatasni mondo acham.
So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
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, cause your belly to eat, and fill your bowels with this roll that I give you. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
4 Koro nowachona niya, Wuod dhano, koro dhi ir dhood Israel mondo iwach nigi wechena.
And he said to me, Son of man, go, get you to the house of Israel, and speak with my words to them.
5 Ok aori ir joma wacho dhok mikia kata ma dhogi tek, to iori ir dhood Israel.
For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, 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.
Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words you can not understand. Surely, had I sent you to them, they would have listened to you.
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 listen to you; for they will not listen to me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.
8 To abiro miyo wangʼi bed matek kendo wiyi bed matek mana kaka gin.
Behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and your forehead strong against 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.
As an adamant harder than flint have I made your forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
10 Kendo nowachona niya, Wuod dhano, ket chunyi kendo iwinj weche ma awachoni maber.
Moreover he said to me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears.
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 you to them of the captivity, to the children of your people, and speak to them, and tell them, Thus says the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they 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!
Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, 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.
I heard also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and a noise of a great rushing.
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.
So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong on 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.
Then I came to them of the captivity at Telabib, that dwelled by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.
16 Kane ndalo abiriyo orumo, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that 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 you a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning 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.
When I say to the wicked, You shall surely die; and you give him not warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your 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.
Yet if you warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your 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.
Again, When a righteous man does turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your 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.
Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also you have delivered your 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 there on me; and he said to me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with you.
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.
Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I fell on my face.
24 Eka Roho mar Nyasaye nobiro kuoma mochunga malo. Ne owuoyo koda mowacho niya, “Dhiyo mondo ilorri e odi.
Then the spirit entered into me, and set me on my feet, and spoke with me, and said to me, Go, shut yourself within your house.
25 To in, wuod dhano, gibiro tweyi gi ngoche, kendo gibiro ridi matek ma ok inyal wuok mondo idhi ir jou.
But you, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands on you, and shall bind you with them, and you shall not go out among 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 your tongue sticks to the roof of your mouth, that you shall be dumb, and shall not be to them a reprover: for they are a rebellious 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 speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD; He that hears, let him hear; and he that declines, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.
