Ezekiel 4

1 “Koro, wuod dhano, kaw matafare kendo ikete e nyimi mi igor dala maduongʼ mar Jerusalem kuome.

“And as for you, son of man, take up for yourself a tablet, and you shall set it before you. And you shall draw upon it the city of Jerusalem.

2 Bangʼe kuny buche molwore duto, mi idhurne lowo kendo iketne kambe mag jolweny moikore monje, kod lodi mitwomogo ohinga.

And you shall set up a blockade against it, and you shall build fortifications, and you shall put together a rampart, and you shall encamp opposite it, and you shall place battering rams around it.

3 Bangʼ mano, kaw tawo mar nyinyo mondo ichungi kaka ohinga mar nyinyo e kindi gi dala, eka ilokri ichom wangʼi kuome. Ibiro gone agengʼa, to adwaro ni ipim kaka ibiro goyone agengʼa, kaka ranyisi ni dhood Israel.

And you shall take up for yourself an iron frying pan, and place it as an iron wall between you and the city. And harden your face against it, and it shall be under a siege, and you shall surround it. This is a sign to the house of Israel.

4 “Bangʼe inind gi bathi koracham kendo ket richo mar dhood Israel kuomi. Nyaka itingʼ richogi kuom ndalo mininde gi bathigo duto.

And you shall sleep on your left side. And you shall place the iniquities of the house of Israel on it by the number of days that you will sleep on it. And you shall take upon yourself their iniquity.

5 Aseketoni kar romb odiechiengʼ marom gi higni magisetimoe richo. Omiyo ibiro tingʼo richo mag dhood Israel kuom ndalo 390.

For I have given to you the years of their iniquity, by the number of the days: three hundred and ninety days. And you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

6 “Kisetieko mano to chak inind piny kendo; to koro tim kamano gi bathi korachwich, mondo itingʼ richo mag dhood Juda. Aseketoni ndalo 40, ka odiechiengʼ kodiechiengʼ ochungʼ kar higa achiel.

And when you will have completed this, you shall sleep a second time, on your right side, and you shall assume the iniquity of the house of Judah for forty days: one day for each year; one day, I say, for each year, have I given to you.

7 Lok wangʼi ochom agengʼa mar Jerusalem kendo irie badi kikoro wach kuome.

And you shall turn your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and your arm shall be extended. And you shall prophesy against it.

8 Abiro tweyi gi tonde ma ok inyal lokori koni gi koni, nyaka chop itieki ndalogi mag goyo agengʼa.

Behold, I have surrounded you with chains. And you shall not turn yourself from one side to the other side, until you have completed the days of your siege.

9 “To in kaw ngano gi shairi gi oganda kod ngʼor gi bel kod mariwa. Ketgi e dag keno kendo ti kodgi kuom losoni makati. Cham makatino kuom ndalo mia adek gi piero ochiko mibiro bedo kinindo gi bathi konchiel.

And you shall take for yourself wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and vetch. And you shall set them in one vessel, and you shall make for yourself bread by the number of days that you will sleep upon your side: three hundred and ninety days shall you shall eat from it.

10 Pim chiemo moromo achiel kuom abich mar kilo mibiro chamo odiechiengʼ kodiechiengʼ, kendo chiem mana kiluwo chenro mar chiemo miloso.

But your food, which you will eat, shall be in weight twenty staters a day. You shall eat it from time to time.

11 Pi bende ibiro modho mana mopim, nus lita odiechiengʼ kodiechiengʼ, kiluwo chenro miloso mar modho.

And you shall drink water by measure, one sixth part of a hin. You shall drink it from time to time.

12 Cham chiemono mana kaka dicham kek mar shairi, kendo tede e nyim ji ka gineni, kitiyo gi oko dhano kaka owuoyo.”

And you shall eat it like barley bread baked under ashes. And you shall cover it, in their sight, with the dung that goes out of a man.”

13 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Kamano e kaka dhood Israel biro chamo chiemo mogak e dier ogendini kuma abiro terogie twech.”

And the Lord said: “So shall the sons of Israel eat their bread, polluted among the Gentiles, to whom I will cast them out.”

14 Eka nawacho niya, “Yaye, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto! Nyaka nene pok adwanyora kamano. Nyaka aa e tin-na pok achamo gima oyud kotho, kata ma le mag bungu okidho. Ringʼo mogak moro amora pok odonjo e dhoga nyaka nene.”

And I said: “Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God! Behold, my soul has not been polluted, and from my infancy even until now, I have not eaten anything that has died of itself, nor that which has been torn up by beasts, and no unclean flesh at all has entered into my mouth.”

15 To nowachona niya, “Onge wach, kara abiro yieni mondo ited makatini e maj owuoch dhiangʼ kar tedo gi oko mar dhano kaka owuoyo.”

And he said to me: “Behold, I have given to you cow manure in place of human dung, and you shall make your bread with it.”

16 Eka nowachona niya, “Wuod dhano, abiro gengʼo chiemo kik donji Jerusalem. Ji biro chamo chiemo mopim ka gin gi parruok mathoth kendo gibiro modho pi mopim ka midhiero omakogi,

And he said to me: “Son of man, behold: I will crush the staff of bread in Jerusalem. And they will eat bread by weight and with anxiety. And they will drink water by measure and with anguish.

17 nikech chiemo gi pi nodog manok. Ngʼato ka ngʼato nowuor kaka nyawadgi chal, kendo dendgi nochire nikech richogi.

So then, when bread and water fail, each one may fall against his brother. And they shall waste away in their iniquities.”
