< Ezekiel 35 >

1 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 “Wuod dhano, chom wangʼi ikwed Got Seir, kendo kor wach makwedogi
“You human, turn toward Edom and prophesy what will happen to its people. Say that this is what Yahweh says to them:
3 kiwacho ni: ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Adagi in Got Seir, kendo abiro rieyo bada kuomi mi aloki gunda.
‘You who live near Seir Mountain [in Edom], I am opposed to you, and I will use my power [MTY] to strike you and cause your country to become a wasteland.
4 Abiro muko mieche matindo duto mi ilokri gunda. Eka iningʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.
I will cause your country to be ruined and desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
5 “‘Nikech nyaka aa chon isebedo ka imako sadha gi jo-Israel kendo nikech ne ichiwogi ne ligangla e kinde mane masira omakogi, kendo kane gin e chuny kum margi,
You have always been enemies of the Israeli people. You [rejoiced] when they experienced a great disaster: [their enemies attacked them with] swords, when I punished them [for the sins that they had committed].
6 kuom mano, mana kaka antie, an Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto awacho kama: Abiro jwangʼi ni chwero remo, kendo chwero remo biro lawi ma ok noweyi.
Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will allow [your enemies] to slaughter [MTY] you and continue to slaughter you. You were happy when [LIT] others were slaughtered;
7 Abiro miyo Got Seir doko gunda ma gimoro onge, kendo abiro riembo joma donjo e iye kendo wuokie.
so I will cause Seir Mountain to be abandoned/deserted, and I will get rid of anyone who enters it or leaves it.
8 Abiro pongʼo gode magi gi ringre joma otho, joma ligangla onego biro podho ewi godeni matindo, kaachiel gi holni kod kuonde rogo duto.
I will cause your mountains to be filled with [the corpses of] those who have been killed. The corpses of those who have been killed by [your enemies’] swords will lie on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines.
9 Abiro loki gunda nyaka chiengʼ, kendo miechi matindo ji ok nodagie. Eka iningʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.
I will cause your land to be deserted forever. No one will live in your towns again. When that happens, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
10 “‘Nikech isewacho ni, Ogendini ariyogi gi pinjegi biro bedo mawa kendo wabiro kawogi, kata obedo ni an Jehova Nyasaye ne antie,
You people said, “Israel and Judah will become ours. We will take over their territory!” You said that even though I, Yahweh, was still there [and protecting them].
11 kuom mano, mana kaka antie, an Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto awacho kama: In bende abiro chwadi kaluwore gi mirimbi kod nyiego mane itimo gi joga kane ichayogi gi achaya maduongʼ, kendo kum ma abiro kumigo biro miyo gingʼeya.
Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will punish [MTY] you for being angry with my people, envying them, and hating them.
12 Eka iningʼe ni an Jehova Nyasaye asewinjo weche mag achaya duto misewacho kuom gode mag Israel. Ne iwacho niya, “Oseketh dalagi chuth kendo osechiwonwagi mondo watiekgi.”
Then you will know that I, Yahweh, have heard all the disgusting things that you have said about the mountains in Israel. You said that they have been ruined/devastated, and that they have been given to you to occupy [MET].
13 Ne isungorina kendo ne iwuoyo marach kuoma ka ok iritori, kendo ne awinjo gik moko duto mane iwacho.
When you insulted me, I heard all that you said about me.
14 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Sa ma piny duto biro bedo mamor kodi ema abiro tiekie.
So this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: You people who live on Seir Mountain and in all the other places in Edom, when I cause your land to become desolate, everyone in the entire world will rejoice.
15 Nikech in bende ne ibedo mamor kane iketho girkeni mar dhood Israel, kamano e kaka abiro timoni in bende. Ibiro dongʼ gunda, yaye Got Seir, in kaachiel gi Edom duto. Eka giningʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.’”
You were happy when the land [MTY] of the Israeli people became desolate, so I will cause your land to become desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
