Ezekiel 36

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

“Now you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say, 'Mountains of Israel, listen to the word of Yahweh.

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

The Lord Yahweh says this: The enemy has said about you, “Aha!” and “The ancient high places have become our possession.”'

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, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Because of your desolation and because of the attacks that came on you from all sides, you have become a possession of the other nations; you have been the subject of slanderous lips and tongues, and of people's stories.

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, mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord Yahweh: The Lord Yahweh says this to the mountains and the high hills, to the streambeds and valleys, to the uninhabited desolations and the forsaken cities that have become plunder and a subject of mocking for the other nations that surround them—

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 the Lord Yahweh says this: I have certainly spoken in the fire of my fury against the other nations, against Edom and all who took my land for themselves as a possession, against all those who had both joy in their heart and disdain in their spirit, as they seized my land that they might claim its pasturelands for themselves.'

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 to the land of Israel and say to the mountains and to the high hills, to the streambeds and to the valleys, 'the Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! In my fury and in my anger I am declaring this because you have borne the insults of nations.

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

Therefore, the Lord Yahweh says this: I myself will lift up my hand to swear that the nations that surround you will certainly carry their own shame.

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

But you, mountains of Israel, you will grow branches and bear fruit for my people Israel, since they will soon come back to you.

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 for you, and I treat you with favor; you will be plowed and sown with seed.

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

So I will multiply upon you the number of your people, even the whole house of Israel. The cities will be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt.

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.

I will multiply man and beast on you mountains so that they will multiply and be fruitful. Then I will cause you to be inhabited as you previously were, and I will make you prosper more than you did in the past, for you will know that I am Yahweh.

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

I will bring men, my people Israel, to walk on you. They will possess you, and you will be their inheritance, and you will no longer cause their children to die.

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

The Lord Yahweh says this: Because they are saying to you, “You devour men, bereaving your nation of children,”

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

therefore you will not consume people any longer, and you will no longer make your nation mourn their deaths. This is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.

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.’”

Nor will I allow you to hear the insults of the nations any longer; you will no longer have to bear the shame of the peoples or cause your nation to fall—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”

16 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nochako obirona kendo kama:

Then the word of Yahweh 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 inhabited their land, they defiled it with their ways and their deeds. Their ways were like the unclean menstruation of a woman before me.

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

So I poured out my fury against them for the blood that they poured out on the land and for their pollution of it by their idols.

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

I scattered them among the nations; they were dispersed through the lands. I judged them according to their ways and their deeds.

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.’

Then they went to the nations, and wherever they went, they profaned my holy name when people said of them, 'Are these really the people of Yahweh? For they have been thrown 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 had compassion for my holy name that the house of Israel had defiled among the nations, when they went there.

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, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: I am not doing this for your sake, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations everywhere you have gone.

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.

For I will make my great name holy, which you have profaned among the nations—in the midst of the nations, you profaned it. Then the nations will know that I am Yahweh—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—when you see that I am holy.

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

I will take you from the nations and gather you from every land, and I will bring you to your land.

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

Then I will sprinkle pure water on you so you will be purified from all of your impurities, and I will purify you from all of your idols.

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

I will give you a new heart and a new spirit in your innermost parts, and I will take away the heart of stone from your flesh. For I will give you a heart of flesh.

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

I will set my Spirit in you and enable you to walk in my statutes and keep my decrees, so you will do them.

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

Then you will inhabit the land that I gave to your ancestors; you will 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.

For I will save you from all of your uncleanness. I will summon the grain and multiply it. I will no longer put famine upon you.

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

I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field so that you will no longer bear the shame of famine among the nations.

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

Then you will think of your wicked ways and your deeds that were not good, and you will show loathing on your faces because of your own sins and your disgusting deeds.

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!

I am not doing this for your sake—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—let this be known to you. So be ashamed and disgraced because of your ways, 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.

The Lord Yahweh says this: On the day that I purify you from all your iniquity, I will cause you to inhabit the cities and to rebuild the ruined places.

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

For you will plow the ruined land until it is no longer a ruin before the eyes of all who pass 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.”

Then they will say, “This land was desolate, but it has become like the garden of Eden; the desolate cities and the uninhabited ruins that were torn down are now fortified and 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.’

Then the other nations around you will know that I am Yahweh, that I built up the ruins and replanted the abandoned places. I am Yahweh. I have declared it and I 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,

The Lord Yahweh says this: Again I will be asked by the house of Israel to do this for them, to increase them like a flock of people.

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.”

Like the flock is set apart for sacrifices, like the flock in Jerusalem at her appointed feasts, so will the ruined cities be filled with flocks of people and they will know that I am Yahweh.'”
