Ezekiel 33

1 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

Again, the woorde of the Lord came vnto 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,

Sonne of man, speake to the children of thy people, and say vnto them, When I bring the sworde vpon a lande, if the people of the lande take a man from among them, and make him their watchman,

3 kendo ka oneno jolweny ka biro mondo oked kodu, bangʼe to ogoyo turumbete mondo ji oikre,

If when hee seeth the sworde come vpon ye land, he blow the trumpet, and warne 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 hee that heareth the sounde of the trumpet, and will not bee warned, if the sworde come, and take him away, his blood shall be vpon his owne head.

5 Nikech ne owinjo dwond tungʼ to ok odewo, rembe nobed e wiye owuon. To ka dine owinj siem, to dine oreso ngimane.

For he heard the sound of the trumpet, and woulde not bee admonished: therefore his blood shall be vpon him: but he that receiueth warning, shall saue 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.’

But if the watchman see the sworde come, and blowe not the trumpet, and the people be not warned: if the sworde come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away for his iniquitie, but his blood will I require at the watchmans hande.

7 “Wuod dhano, aseketi jarito mar dhood Israel, omiyo winj wachna kendo imigi siem moa kuoma.

So thou, O sonne of man, I haue made thee a watchman vnto the house of Israel: therefore thou shalt heare the woorde at my mouth, and admonish 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 shall say vnto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt die the death, if thou doest not speake, and admonish the wicked of his way, that wicked man shall die for his iniquitie, but his blood will I require at thine 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.

Neuerthelesse, If thou warne the wicked of his way, to turne from it, if he doe not turne from his way, he shall die for his iniquitie, but thou hast deliuered thy soule.

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.”’

Therefore, O thou sonne of man, speake vnto the house of Israel, Thus yee speake and say, If our transgressions and our sinnes bee vpon vs, and we are consumed because of them, howe should we then liue?

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 vnto them, As I liue, sayeth the Lord God, I desire not the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turne from his way and liue: turne you, turne you from your euill waies, for why will ye die, O ye 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.’

Therefore thou sonne of man, saye vnto the children of thy people, The righteousnesse of the righteous shall not deliuer him in the day of his transgression, nor the wickednesse of the wicked shall cause him to fall therein, in the day that he returneth from his wickednesse, neither shall the righteous liue for his righteousnesse in the day that he sinneth.

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.

When I shall say vnto the righteous, that he shall surely liue, if he trust to his owne righteousnes, and commit iniquitie, all his righteousnes shall be no more remembred, but for his iniquitie that he hath committed, he shall die for the same.

14 Kendo ka awachone ngʼama timbene richo ni, ‘Ibiro tho ma ok itony,’ to ka olokore oweyo richone motimo gima adier kendo makare,

Againe when I shall say vnto the wicked, thou shalt die the death, if he turne from his sinne, and doe that which is lawfull and right,

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.

To wit, if the wicked restore the pledge, and giue againe that he had robbed, and walke in the statutes of life, without committing iniquitie, he shall surely liue, and 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 sinnes that he hath comitted, shall be mentioned vnto him: because he hath done that, which is lawful, and right, he shall surely liue.

17 “Makmana jothuru pod wacho ni, ‘Yore mag Ruoth Nyasaye ok nikare!’ To chutho yoregi ema onge adiera.

Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equall: but their owne way is vnequall.

18 Ka ngʼat makare olokore oweyo timbene mabeyo motimo richo, to obiro tho nikech timneno.

When the righteous turneth from his righteousnesse, and committeth iniquitie, he shall euen die thereby.

19 Kendo ka ngʼat ma timbene richo olokore oweyo timbene maricho motimo gima adiera kendo makare to obiro bedo mangima kuom timo kamano.

But if the wicked returne from his wickednesse, and doe that which is lawfull and right, hee shall liue thereby.

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.”

Yet yee say, The way of the Lord is not equall. O ye house of Israel, I will iudge you euery one after his waies.

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!”

Also in the twelfth yere of our captiuitie, in the tenth moneth, and in the fift day of the moneth, one that had escaped out of Ierusalem, came vnto me, and said, The citie is smitten.

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.

Now the hand of the Lord had bene vpon me in ye euening afore hee that had escaped, came, and had opened my mouth vntill he came to me in the morning: and when hee had opened my mouth, I was no more dumme.

23 Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirana kama:

Againe the worde of the Lord came vnto me, and saide,

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.’

Sonne of man, these that dwel in the desolate places of the land of Israel, talke and say, Abraham was but one, and hee possessed the lande: but we are many, therefore the lande shall be giuen vs 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?

Wherefore say vnto them, Thus saieth the Lord God, Ye eate with the blood, and lift vp your eyes towarde your idoles, and sheade blood: should ye then possesse the land?

26 Ugeno kuom ligangla maru, utimo gik mamono, kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu ketho chi nyawadgi. Bende dukaw piny adier ka uchalo kamano?’

Ye leane vpon your swordes: ye worke abomination, and yee defile euery one his neighbours wife: should ye then possesse the land?

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 thus vnto them, Thus saieth the Lord God, As I liue, so surely they that are in the desolate places, shall fall by the sword: and him that is in the open field, will I giue vnto the beasts to be deuoured: and they that be in the forts and in the caues, 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.

For I will lay the land desolate and waste, and the pompe of her strength shall cease: and the moutaines of Israel shalbe desolate, and none shall passe through.

29 Eka giningʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye, ka aseloko pinyno gunda nikech gik mamono duto magisetimo.’

Then shall they know that I am the Lord, when I haue laid ye land desolate and wast, because of al their abominations, that they haue 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.’

Also thou sonne of man, the children of thy people that talke of thee by the wals and in the dores of houses, and speake one to another, euery one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and heare what is the word that commeth 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.

For they come vnto thee, as the people vseth to come: and my people sit before thee, and heare thy wordes, but they will not doe them: for with their mouthes they make iestes, and their heart goeth after their couetousnesse.

32 Chutho, ichalonegi mana ngʼama wero wende hera gi dwol mamit kendo mongʼeyo goyo thum maber, nikech giwinjo wecheni to ok gitimgi.

And loe, thou art vnto them, as a iesting song of one that hath a pleasant voyce, and can sing well: for they heare thy woordes, but they doe them not.

33 “Ka magi duto notimre kendo gibiro timore mak orem, eka giningʼe ni janabi moro kara ne ni e diergi.”

And when this commeth to passe (for loe, it will come) then shall they know, that a Prophet hath bene among them.
