Ezekiel 36
1 “Wuod dhano, kor wach kuom gode mag Israel, kendo wachnegi ni, ‘Yaye gode mag Israel, winjuru wach Jehova Nyasaye.
And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say to the mountains of Israel, Hear you 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 says the Lord God; Because the enemy has said against you, Aha, the old waste places are become a possession for us:
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 says the Lord God; Because you have been dishonored, and hated by those round about you, that you might be a possession to the remainder of the nations, and you became a byword, and a reproach to the nations:
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, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord; Thus says the Lord to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the streams, and to the valleys, and to [the places] that have been made desolate and destroyed, and to the cities that have been deserted, and have become a spoil and a trampling to the nations that were left 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 says the Lord; Verily in the fire of my wrath have I spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Idumea, because they have appropriated my land to themselves for a possession with joy, disregarding the lives [of the inhabitants], to destroy [it] by plunder:
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.
therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the valleys, and to the forests, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because you have borne the reproaches of the heathen:
7 Emomiyo ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Akwongʼora ni ogendini molworou noyud wichkuot.
therefore I will lift up my hand against the nations that are round about you; they shall bear their reproach.
8 “‘To un, joga Israel, yien nochak odong e gode mag Israel, mi nyagnu olembe, nikech ubiro dok e piny machiegni.
But your grapes and your fruits, O mountains of Israel, shall my people eat; for they are hoping to come.
9 Aikora mar konyou kendo abiro rangou gi ngʼwono; mi puotheu pur mi pidhie kothe, un oganda mar dhood Israel duto,
For, behold, I am toward you, and I will have respect to you, and you shall be tilled 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, [even] all the house of Israel to the end: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the desolate land shall be built upon.
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 multiply men and cattle upon you; and I will cause you to dwell as at the beginning, and will treat you well, as in your former [times]: 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 increase men upon you, [even] my people Israel; and they shall inherit you, and you shall be to them for a possession; and you shall no more be bereaved of them.
13 “‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Nikech ji wachonu niya, “Unego ji kendo umayo ogandau nyithindgi,”
Thus says the Lord God: Because they said to you, You [land] devour men, and have been bereaved of your nation;
14 omiyo koro ok ubi nego ji kata miyo ogandau dongʼ migumba, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto owacho.
therefore you shall no more devour men, and you shall no more bereave your nation, says 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.’”
And there shall no more be heard against you the reproach of the nations, and you shall no more bear the revilings of the peoples, says 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, the house of Israel lived upon their land, and defiled it by their way, and with their idols, and with their uncleannesses; and their way was before me like the uncleanness of a removed woman.
18 Omiyo ne aolo mirimba kuomgi nikech ne gisechwero remo e piny, kendo nikech ne gisedwanye gi nyisechegi mopa.
So I poured out my wrath upon them:
19 Ne akeyogi e dier ogendini, kendo negidak e kind ogendini mopogore opogore. Ne angʼadonegi bura kaluwore gi yoregi kod timbegi mamono.
and I dispersed them among the nations, and utterly scattered them through the countries: I judged them according to their way and according to their sin.
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 they went in among the nations, among which they went, and they profaned my holy name, while it was said of them, These are the people of the Lord, and they came forth out of his land.
21 Ne aparo mondo atim gimoro ne nyinga maler, ma dhood Israel nosedwanyo e dier ogendini kuonde mane gidhiye.
But I spared them for the sake of my holy name, which the house of Israel profaned among the nations, among whom they went.
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 say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord; I do not this, O house of Israel, for your sakes, but because of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations, among whom 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 nations, which you profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, when I am sanctified among you before their eyes.
24 “‘Nikech abiro golou oko e dier ogendini; chokou kagolou e pinje duto mi aduogu kendo e lopu uwegi.
And I will take you out from the nations, and will gather you out of all the lands, 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 sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be purged from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols, and I will cleanse you.
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 will put a new spirit in you: and I will take away the heart of stone 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 you, and will cause you to walk in mine ordinances, 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 upon the land which I gave to your fathers; and you shall be to me a people, and I will be to you a 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 the corn, and multiply it, and will not bring 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 trees, and the produce of the field, that you may not bear 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 evil ways and your practices that were not good, and you shall be hateful in your own sight for your transgressions and for your abominations.
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!
Not for your sakes do I [this], says the Lord God, [as] it is known to you: be you ashamed and confounded for your 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 says the Lord God; In the day wherein I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities I will also cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste [places] shall be built upon:
34 Piny motwo nopur, ka joma kadho e diergi neno, kendo ok nowegi ginind mbora.
and the desolate land shall be cultivated, whereas it was desolate in the eyes of every one 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.”
And they shall say, That desolate land is become like a garden of delight; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are inhabited.
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, as many as shall have been left round about you, shall know that I the Lord have built the ruined [cities] and planted the waste [lands]: I the Lord have spoken, and will do [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 says the Lord God; Yet [for] this will I be sought by the house of Israel, to establish them; I will multiply them [even] men as sheep;
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 holy sheep, as the sheep of Jerusalem in her feasts; thus shall the desert cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know that I [am] the Lord.
