Ezekiel 36

1 “Wuod dhano, kor wach kuom gode mag Israel, kendo wachnegi ni, ‘Yaye gode mag Israel, winjuru wach Jehova Nyasaye.

And thou son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say: Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord:

2 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Wasigu nogoyonu siboi kawacho niya, “Donge uwuoro! Gode machon maboyo koro osedoko mawa.”’

Thus saith the Lord God: Because the enemy hath said of you: Aha, the everlasting heights are given to us for an inheritance.

3 Kuom mano, kor wach kiwacho kama: ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Nikech negimonjo pinyu ma giketho kuonde duto mage mine udongʼ maonge nyalo e kind ogendini mamoko, kane gijarou kendo giwuoyo kuomu marach,

Therefore prophesy, and say: Thus saith the Lord God: Because you have been desolate, and trodden under foot on every side, and made an inheritance to the rest of the nations, and are become the subject of the talk, and the reproach of the people:

4 kuom mano, yaye un gode mag Israel, winjuru gima an Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho ni gode madongo gi matindo, kaachiel gi aore kod holni, gi kuonde modongʼ gundni, mane ogendini mokiewo gi jo-Israel oyako kendo oyiero.

Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God: Thus saith the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, to the brooks, and to the valleys, and to desolate places, and ruinous walls, and to the cities that are forsaken, that are spoiled, and derided by the rest of the nations round about.

5 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Asewuoyo ka an gi nyiego maliel ka mach kuom ogendini mamoko duto, kendo kuom piny Edom duto, nikech negiloko pinya margi, kendo ne giyako lege mage, ka chunygi opongʼ gi mor.’

Therefore thus saith the Lord God: In the fire of my zeal I have spoken of the rest of the nations, and of all Edom, who have taken my land to themselves, for an inheritance with joy, and with all the heart, and with the mind: and have cast it out to lay it waste.

6 Kuom mano, kor wach kuom piny Israel, kendo wach ni gode madongo gi matindo, kaachiel gi rogo kod holni kama: ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Awuoyo ka an gi mirima mager, nikech usewinjo marach ka ogendini jarou.

Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, and to the hills, to the ridges, and to the valleys: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I have spoken in my zeal, and in my indignation, because you have borne the shame of the Gentiles.

7 Emomiyo ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Akwongʼora ni ogendini molworou noyud wichkuot.

Therefore thus saith the Lord God: I have lifted up my hand, that the Gentiles who are round about you, shall themselves bear their shame.

8 “‘To un, joga Israel, yien nochak odong e gode mag Israel, mi nyagnu olembe, nikech ubiro dok e piny machiegni.

But as for you, O mountains of Israel, shoot ye forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel: for they are at hand to come.

9 Aikora mar konyou kendo abiro rangou gi ngʼwono; mi puotheu pur mi pidhie kothe, un oganda mar dhood Israel duto,

For lo I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be ploughed and sown.

10 abiro miyo unyaa mi udok mangʼeny. Mier matindo ji biro dakie, kendo kuonde momukore ibiro gero kendo.

And I will multiply men upon you, and all the house of Israel: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the ruinous places shall be repaired.

11 Abiro medo kar kwan mar ji kod mar jamni modak e dieru, kendo gibiro medore mi gidok mathoth mokalo akwana. Abiro miyo ji gedo kuomu kaka chon, kendo abiro miyo unyaa moloyo kaka chon. Eka unungʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.

And I will make you abound with men and with beasts: and they shall be multiplied, and increased: and I will settle you as from the beginning, and will give you greater gifts, than you had from the beginning: and you shall know that I am the Lord.

12 Abiro keto ji, ma gin joga Israel, mondo owuoth kuomu. Gibiro kawou, kendo ubiro bedo girkeni margi, kendo ok unuchak umagi nyithindgi.

And I will bring men upon you, my people Israel, and they shall possess thee for their inheritance: and thou shalt be their inheritance, and shalt no more henceforth be without them.

13 “‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Nikech ji wachonu niya, “Unego ji kendo umayo ogandau nyithindgi,”

Thus saith the Lord God: Because they say of you: Thou art a devourer of men, and one that suffocatest thy nation:

14 omiyo koro ok ubi nego ji kata miyo ogandau dongʼ migumba, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto owacho.

Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, nor destroy thy nation any more, saith the Lord God:

15 Ok anachak ayie uwinj siboi mar ogendini; kendo ok unuchak une malit ka ji jarou kata ka gimiyo pinyu podho, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.’”

Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the nations any more, nor shalt thou bear the reproach of the people, nor lose thy nation any more, saith the Lord God.

16 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nochako obirona kendo kama:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

17 “Wuod dhano, ka oganda mar jo-Israel ne pod odak e pinygi giwegi, ne gidwanye gi yoregi kod timbegi mamono. Timbegi ne ogak kaka gak mar dhako e nyima e kinde ma oneno malo.

Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it with their ways, and with their doings: their way was before me like the uncleanness of a menstruous woman.

18 Omiyo ne aolo mirimba kuomgi nikech ne gisechwero remo e piny, kendo nikech ne gisedwanye gi nyisechegi mopa.

And I poured out my indignation upon them for the blood which they had shed upon the land, and with their idols they defiled it.

19 Ne akeyogi e dier ogendini, kendo negidak e kind ogendini mopogore opogore. Ne angʼadonegi bura kaluwore gi yoregi kod timbegi mamono.

And I scattered them among the nations, and they are dispersed through the countries: I have judged them according to their ways, and their devices.

20 Kendo kuonde duto mane gidhiyoe e dier ogendini to ne gichayo nyinga maler, nikech ji ne wuoyo kuomgi kawacho ni, ‘Magi gin jo-Jehova Nyasaye, to ne oriembogi e lope.’

And when they entered among the nations whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when it was said of them: This is the people of the Lord, and they are come forth out of his land.

21 Ne aparo mondo atim gimoro ne nyinga maler, ma dhood Israel nosedwanyo e dier ogendini kuonde mane gidhiye.

And I have regarded my own holy name, which the house of Israel hath profaned among the nations to which they went in.

22 “Emomiyo wachne dhood Israel ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Ok abi timo gigo nikech un, yaye dhood Israel, to abiro timogi nikech nyinga maler, ma usedwanyo e dier ogendini kuonde duto musedhiyoe.

Therefore thou shalt say to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: It is not for your sake that I will do this, O house of Israel, but for my holy name’s sake, which you have profaned among the nations whither you went.

23 Abiro nyiso kaka nyinga marahuma musedwanyo e dier ogendini, ler, nyingno musechido e diergi. Eka ogendini nongʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye, chiengʼ ma ananyisra kaka ngʼama ler ka uneno gi wangʼu, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.

And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the Gentiles, which you have profaned in the midst of them: that the Gentiles may know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord of hosts, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

24 “‘Nikech abiro golou oko e dier ogendini; chokou kagolou e pinje duto mi aduogu kendo e lopu uwegi.

For I will take you from among the Gentiles, and will gather you together out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.

25 Abiro kiro pi maler kuomu mi udok jomaler; abiro pwodhou kuom timbeu mamono kendo kuom nyisecheu duto mopa.

And I will pour upon you clean water, and you shall be cleansed from all your filthiness, and I will cleanse you from all your idols.

26 Abiro miyou chuny manyien kod paro manyien; kendo anagol kuomu chuny matek ka lwanda mi amiu chuny mayom ka ringʼo.

And I will give you a new heart, and put a new spirit within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and will give you a heart of flesh.

27 Abiro olo Roho mara kuomu, mi aket ulu buchena kendo uket chunyu mar rito chikena.

And I will put my spirit in the midst of you: and I will cause you to walk in my commandments, and to keep my judgments, and do them.

28 Ubiro dak e piny mane amiyo kwereu; unubed joga to anabed Nyasachu.

And you shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.

29 Abiro resou kuom gik moko duto ma dimi ubed mogak. Abiro kelonu cham mi ubed gi cham mogundho kendo ok anawe ubed gi kech.

And I will save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for corn, and will multiply it, and will lay no famine upon you.

30 Anami olembeu kod cham mag puotheu nyag mangʼeny, kendo ok unuchak une wichkuot e dier ogendini nikech wach kech.

And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the held, that you bear no more the reproach of famine among the nations.

31 Eka unupar yoreu kod timbeu maricho, kendo unucharu kendu nikech richou kod timbeu mamonogo.

And you shall remember your wicked ways, and your doings that were not good: and your iniquities, and your wicked deeds shall displease you.

32 Adwaro ni ungʼe ni gigi duto ok atim nikech un, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho. Yaye dhood Israel, neuru wichkuot kuom timbeu mamono!

It is not for your sakes that I will do this, saith the Lord God, be it known to you: be confounded, and ashamed at your own ways, O house of Israel.

33 “‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Odiechiengʼ ma anapwodhie kuom richoni duto, anami ji odagi e miechi kendo, kendo kuonde momukore magi nochak oger.

Thus saith the Lord God: In the day that I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities, and shall cause the cities to be inhabited, and shall repair the ruinous places,

34 Piny motwo nopur, ka joma kadho e diergi neno, kendo ok nowegi ginind mbora.

And the desolate land shall be tilled, which before was waste in the sight of all that passed by,

35 Giniwach niya, “Lopni ma yande okethi mowe nono koro osedoko machal gi puoth Eden, kendo mier madongo mane omuki kendo okethi molokore gunda tinde ochiel motegno kendo ji odakie.”

They shall say: This land that was untilled is become as a garden of pleasure: and the cities that were abandoned, and desolate, and destroyed, are peopled and fenced.

36 Eka ogendini modongʼ molworou nongʼe ni an Jehova Nyasaye ema asegero gik mane omuki, kendo an ema asechako akomo puothe mane odongʼ mbora. An Jehova Nyasaye ema asewuoyo kamano, kendo abiro timo gima awacho.’

And the nations, that shall be left round about you, shall know that I the Lord have built up what was destroyed, and planted what was desolate, that I the Lord have spoken and done it.

37 “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Abiro winjo kwayo jo-Israel kendo mi atimnegi kama: Abiro miyo ogendini doko mangʼeny ka rombe,

Thus saith the Lord God: Moreover in this shall the house of Israel find me, that I will do it for them: I will multiply them as a flock of men,

38 adier ginibed mangʼeny mana ka jamni mitimogo misango Jerusalem e kinde mag nyasi mitimo higa ka higa. Omiyo mier madongo mokethore biro pongʼ gi kweth mag ji. Eka giningʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.”

As a holy dock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts: so shall the waste cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
