Ezekiel 33
1 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “Wuod dhano, wuo gi jothuru kendo iwachnegi ni, ‘Ka akelo lweny e piny moro, kendo ka jopinyno oyiero achiel kuom jogi mi okete kaka jarito margi,
Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say to them: When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man, one of their meanest, and make him a watchman over them:
3 kendo ka oneno jolweny ka biro mondo oked kodu, bangʼe to ogoyo turumbete mondo ji oikre,
And he see the sword coming upon the land, and sound the trumpet, and tell the people:
4 to ka dipo ni ngʼato owinjo dwond tungʼ, to ok odewo siemno, mi ligangla obiro monege, to rembe nobed e wiye owuon.
Then he that heareth the sound of the trumpet, whosoever he be, and doth not look to himself, if the sword come, and cut him off: his blood shall be upon his own head.
5 Nikech ne owinjo dwond tungʼ to ok odewo, rembe nobed e wiye owuon. To ka dine owinj siem, to dine oreso ngimane.
He heard the sound of the trumpet and did not look to himself, his blood shall be upon him: but if he look to himself, he shall save his life.
6 To ka jaritono oneno ka wasigu biro, to ok ogoyo tungʼ mondo ji oikre, mi wasigugo obiro monego ngʼato achiel kuomgi, to ngʼatno notho nikech richone, to anaket rembe ewi jaritono.’
And if the watchman see the sword coming, and sound not the trumpet: and the people look not to themselves, and the sword come, and cut off a soul from among them: he indeed is taken away in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at the hand of the watchman.
7 “Wuod dhano, aseketi jarito mar dhood Israel, omiyo winj wachna kendo imigi siem moa kuoma.
So thou, O son of man, I have made thee a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore thou shalt hear the word from my mouth, and shalt tell it them from me.
8 Ka awacho ne ngʼama timbene richo ni, ‘Yaye ngʼama rach, ibiro tho ma ok itony,’ to itamori wuoyo kode mondo igole e yorene maricho, to ngʼat ma timbene richono biro tho nikech richone, to anaket rembe e wiyi.
When I say to the wicked: O wicked man, thou shalt surely die: if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked man from his way: that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy hand.
9 To ka isiemo ngʼat ma timbene richo mondo owe yorenego, to ok otimo kamano, to obiro tho nikech richone, to in to inires ngimani.
But if thou tell the wicked man, that he may be converted from his ways, and he be not converted from his way: he shall die in his iniquity: but thou hast delivered thy soul.
10 “Wuod dhano, wach ne dhood Israel ni, ‘Ma e gima uwacho: “Kethowa gi richowa pek turowa kendo ni dendwa dhi adhiya. Koro ere kaka dwabed mangima.”’
Thou therefore, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: Thus you have spoken, saying: Our iniquities, and our sins are upon us, and we pine away in them: how then can we live?
11 Wachnegi ni, ‘Akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon an Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ni ok amor ka ngʼat ma timbene richo otho, to amor ka gilokore giweyo yoregi maricho mondo gibed mangima. Lokreuru! Lokreuru uwe yoreu maricho! Udwaro tho nangʼo, yaye dhood Israel?’
Say to them: As I live, saith the Lord God, I desire not the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way, and live. Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways: and why will you die, O house of Israel?
12 “Emomiyo, wuod dhano, wachne jothuru ni, ‘Tim makare mar ngʼat makare ok bi rese ka odagi winjo wach, kendo ketho mar ngʼat ma timbene richo ok bi miyo opodhi ka olokore oweyogi. Ka ngʼat makare otimo richo to timbene makare mosetimogo ok nyal miyo obed mangima.’
Thou therefore, O son of man, say to the children of thy people: The justice of the just shall not deliver him, in what day soever he shall sin: and the wickedness of the wicked shall not hurt him, in what day soever he shall turn from his wickedness: and the just shall not be able to live in his justice, in what day soever he shall sin.
13 Ka anyiso ngʼat makare ni kuom adier obiro bedo mangima, kaeto ngʼatno ogeno timne makareno kendo otimo richo, to gik mosetimo mabeyogo duto ok nopar. Enotho nikech gima rach mosetimo.
Yea, if I shall say to the just that he shall surely live, and he, trusting in his justice, commit iniquity: all his justices shall be forgotten, and in his iniquity, which he hath committed, in the same shall he die.
14 Kendo ka awachone ngʼama timbene richo ni, ‘Ibiro tho ma ok itony,’ to ka olokore oweyo richone motimo gima adier kendo makare,
And if I shall say to the wicked: Thou shalt surely die: and he do penance for his sin, and do judgment and justice,
15 ka odwoko gige ji mane omako kuom gik mane ohologi, gi gik mane okwalo kendo koluwo buche machiwo ngima, kendo oweyo timo richo, to enobed mangima adier kendo ok enotho.
And if that wicked man restore the pledge, and render what he had robbed, and walk in the commandments of life, and do no unjust thing: he shall surely live, and shall not die.
16 Onge richo moro amora mosetimo ma nopar mi kwan e wiye. Osetimo gima adier kendo makare, obiro bedo mangima adier.
None of his sins, which he hath committed, shall be imputed to him: he hath done judgment and justice, he shall surely live.
17 “Makmana jothuru pod wacho ni, ‘Yore mag Ruoth Nyasaye ok nikare!’ To chutho yoregi ema onge adiera.
And the children of thy people have said: The way of the Lord is not equitable: whereas their own way is unjust.
18 Ka ngʼat makare olokore oweyo timbene mabeyo motimo richo, to obiro tho nikech timneno.
For when the just shall depart from his justice, and commit iniquities, he shall die in them.
19 Kendo ka ngʼat ma timbene richo olokore oweyo timbene maricho motimo gima adiera kendo makare to obiro bedo mangima kuom timo kamano.
And when the wicked shall depart from his wickedness, and shall do judgments, and justice: be shall live in them.
20 Makmana pod uwacho, yaye dhood Israel, ni, ‘Yore Ruoth Nyasaye ok nikare!’ To abiro ngʼado bura ni ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu kaluwore gi yorene owuon.”
And you say: The way of the Lord is not right, I will judge every one of you according to his ways, O house of Israel.
21 Chiengʼ mar abich mar dwe mar apar, e higa mar apar gariyo, ngʼat moro mane oyudo otony koa Jerusalem nobiro ira kendo owacho niya, “Dala maduongʼ osepodho!”
And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that there came to me one that was fled from Jerusalem, saying: The city is laid waste.
22 To kochopo godhiambo ma bangʼe kinyne ngʼatno ne biroe ira, bad Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kuoma, kendo ne oyawo dhoga ka ngʼatno ne pok ochopo ira gokinyi. Omiyo dhoga ne oyawore kendo koro ne ok alingʼ mak awuoyo.
And the hand of the Lord had been upon me in the evening, before he that was fled came: and he opened my mouth till he came to me in the morning, and my mouth being opened, I was silent no more.
23 Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirana kama:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
24 “Wuod dhano, joma odak e dala momukore e piny Israel wacho ni, ‘Ibrahim ne en mana ngʼat achiel kende, to kata kamano nokawo piny. To wan wangʼeny, omiyo koro osemiwa pinyni kaka girkeni.’
Son of man, they that dwell in these ruinous places in the land of Israel, speak, saying: Abraham was one, and he inherited the land, but we are many, the land is given us in possession.
25 Kuom mano wach nigi ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Nikech uchamo ringʼo motimo remo kendo ugeno kuom nyisecheu muloso kendo uchwero remo, bende dukaw piny adier?
Therefore say to them: Thus saith the Lord God, You that eat with the blood and lift up your eyes to your uncleannesses, and that shed blood: shall you possess the land by inheritance?
26 Ugeno kuom ligangla maru, utimo gik mamono, kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu ketho chi nyawadgi. Bende dukaw piny adier ka uchalo kamano?’
You stood on your swords, you have committed abominations, and every one hath defiled his neighbour’s wife; and shall you possess the land by inheritance?
27 “Wachnegi kama: ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon ni joma odongʼ e dala mosemuki biro tho e lweny, to joma ni oko e gwengʼ abiro chiwo ni le mag bungu mondo onegi. Joma oringo opondo kuonde mochiel motegno kod rogo biro tho kod tuoche malandore ma ok rum.
Say thou thus to them: Thus saith the Lord God: As I live, they that dwell in the ruinous places, shall fall by the sword: and he that is in the field, shall be given to the beasts to be devoured: and they that are in holds, and caves, shall die of the pestilence.
28 Abiro miyo pinyno lokore gunda, kendo tekre mosungorego biro rumo, kendo gode mag Israel nobed moyugno maonge ngʼama nyalo wuothe mi ngʼadi.
And I will make the land a wilderness, and a desert, and the proud strength thereof shall fail, and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, because there is none to pass by them.
29 Eka giningʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye, ka aseloko pinyno gunda nikech gik mamono duto magisetimo.’
And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have made their land waste and desolate, for all their abominations which they have committed.
30 “To in, wuod dhano, jothuru ochokore wuoyo kuomi ka gichokore e tok ohinga kendo ka gin e dhoutegi, ka moro ka moro kuomgi wacho ne wadgi ni, ‘Bi mondo uwinjie wach moa kuom Jehova Nyasaye.’
And thou son of man: the children of thy people, that talk of thee by the walls, and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another each men to his neighbour, saying: Come, and let us hear what is the word that cometh forth from the Lord.
31 Joga biro iri, kaka gihero timo, kendo gibet e nyimi mondo giwinj wecheni, to ok gitim gik miwachonegi. Gihulo gi dhogi kaka gin joma ochiwore ne Nyasaye, to chunygi to owuor ne gik mimayo ji.
And they come to thee, as if a people were coming in, and my people sit before thee: and hear thy words, and do them not: for they turn them into a song of their mouth, and their heart goeth after their covetousness.
32 Chutho, ichalonegi mana ngʼama wero wende hera gi dwol mamit kendo mongʼeyo goyo thum maber, nikech giwinjo wecheni to ok gitimgi.
And thou art to them as a musical song which is sung with a sweet and agreeable voice: and they hear thy words, and do them not.
33 “Ka magi duto notimre kendo gibiro timore mak orem, eka giningʼe ni janabi moro kara ne ni e diergi.”
And when that which was foretold shall come to pass, (for behold it is coming, ) then shall they know that a prophet bath been among them.
