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 unto mountains of Israel, and thou hast said, O mountains of Israel, hear a word of Jehovah.

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 said the Lord Jehovah: Because the enemy said against you, Aha, and the high places of old for a possession have been to 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 thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because, even because, of desolating, And of swallowing you up from round about, For your being a possession to the remnant of the nations, And ye are taken up on the tip of the tongue, And [are] an evil report 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, O mountains of Israel, Hear a word of the Lord Jehovah: Thus said the Lord Jehovah, to mountains, and to hills, To streams, and to valleys, And to wastes that [are] desolate, And to cities that are forsaken, That have been for a prey, And for a scorn, to the remnant of the nations who [are] 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 said the Lord Jehovah: Have I not, in the fire of My jealousy, Spoken against the remnant of the nations, And against Edom — all of it, Who gave My land to themselves for a possession, With the joy of the whole heart — with despite of soul, For the sake of casting it out for a prey?

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 ground of Israel, And thou hast said to mountains, and to hills, To streams, and to valleys, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I, in My jealousy, and in My fury, I have spoken, Because the shame of nations ye have borne.

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

Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: I — I have lifted up My hand, Do not — the nations who [are] with you from round about — they their own shame bear?

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

And ye, O mountains of Israel, Your branch ye give out, and your fruits ye bear for My people Israel, For they have drawn near 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 have turned to you, And ye have been tilled and sown.

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

And I have multiplied on you men, All the house of Israel — all of it, And the cities have been inhabited, And the wastes are built.

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 have multiplied on you man and beast, And they have multiplied and been fruitful, And I have caused you to dwell according to your former states, And I have done better than at your beginnings, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.

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 have caused man to walk over you, — My people Israel, And they possess thee, and thou hast been to them for an inheritance, And thou dost add no more to bereave them.

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

Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because they are saying to you: A devourer of men [art] thou, And a bereaver of thy nations thou hast been,

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

Therefore, man thou devourest no more, And thy nations thou causest not to stumble any more, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

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 I proclaim not unto thee any more the shame of the nations, And the reproach of peoples thou bearest no more, And thy nations stumble not any more, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'

16 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nochako obirona kendo kama:

And there is a word of Jehovah unto 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 are dwelling on their land, And they defile it by their way and by their doings, As the uncleanness of a separated one hath their way been before Me.

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

And I do pour out My fury upon them For the blood that they shed on the land, And with their idols they have 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 scatter them among nations, And they are spread through lands, According to their way, and according to their doings, I have judged them.

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 one goeth in unto the nations whither they have gone, And they pollute My holy name by saying to them, The people of Jehovah [are] these, And from His land they have gone forth.

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

And I have pity on My holy name, That the house of Israel have polluted among nations whither they have gone 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, say to the house of Israel, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Not for your sake am I working, O house of Israel, But — for My holy name, That ye have polluted among nations whither ye have gone in.

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 have sanctified My great name, That is profaned among nations, That ye have polluted in your midst, And known have the nations that I [am] Jehovah, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, In My being sanctified in you before your eyes.

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

And I have taken you out of the nations, And have gathered you out of all the lands, And I have brought you in unto your land,

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

And I have sprinkled over you clean water, And ye have been clean; From all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols, I do 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 have given to you a new heart, And a new spirit I give in your midst, And I have turned aside the heart of stone out of your flesh, And I have given to you a heart of flesh.

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

And My Spirit I give in your midst, And I have done this, so that in My statutes ye walk, And My judgments ye keep, and have done them.

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

And ye have dwelt in the land that I have given to your fathers, And ye have been to Me for a people, And I — I am to you for 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 have saved you from all your uncleannesses, And I have called unto the corn, and multiplied it, And I have put 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 have multiplied the fruit of the tree, And the increase of the field, So that ye receive not any more a reproach of famine among nations.

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

And ye have remembered your ways that [are] evil, And your doings that [are] not good, And have been loathsome in your own faces, For your iniquities, 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 sake am I working, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Be it known to you, Be ashamed and confounded, because of 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 said the Lord Jehovah: In the day of My cleansing you from all your iniquities, I have caused the cities to be inhabited, And the wastes have been built,

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

And the desolate land is tilled, Instead of which it was a desolation before the eyes of every passer 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 have said: This land, that was desolated, Hath been as the garden of Eden, And the cities — the wasted, And the desolated, and the broken down, Fenced places have remained.

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 known have the nations who are left round about you, That I Jehovah have built the thrown down, I have planted the desolated: I Jehovah have spoken, and I have 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 said the Lord Jehovah: Yet this I am required, By the house of Israel to do to them, I 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 flock of holy ones, as a flock of Jerusalem, In her appointed seasons, So are the waste cities full of flocks of men, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah!'
