Ezekiel 44

1 Eka ngʼatno noduoga nyaka e rangach ma oko mar kama ler mar lemo, mochomo yo wuok chiengʼ, kendo ne olore.

And he brought me back to the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary, which looked towards the east: and it was shut.

2 Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Rangajni nyaka sik kolor. Ok onego yawe, kendo ok oyie ni ngʼato mondo oluwe kadonjo. Nyaka osik kolore nikech Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, oseluwe kadonjo.

And the Lord said to me: This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall pass through it: because the Lord the God of Israel hath entered in by it, and it shall be shut

3 Wuod ruoth kende ema oyiene mar bet piny gi ei rangach mondo ochiem e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. To nyaka odonji koluwo bwo gama mar kar donjo kendo kanyo ema ochak oluw kodok.”

For the prince. The prince himself shall sit in it, to eat bread before the Lord: he shall enter in by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out by the same way.

4 Eka ngʼatno nokela koluwo koda rangach man yo nyandwat mochomo nyim hekalu tir. Nangʼicho, kendo naneno duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye kopongʼo hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, mi napodho piny auma.

And he brought me by the way of the north gate, in the sight of the house: and I saw, and behold the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord: and I fell on my face.

5 Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Wuod dhano, nen maber, chik iti mos kendo ket chunyi mondo itim gik moko duto ma anyisi kuom chike duto mag hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye. Ket chunyi mar yango yo midonjogo e hekalu kod yore duto miwuokgo kama ler mar lemo.

And the Lord said to me: Son of man, attend with thy heart, and behold with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears, all that I say to thee concerning all the ceremonies of the house of the Lord, and concerning all the laws thereof: and mark well the ways of the temple, with all the goings out of the sanctuary.

6 Nyis jo-dhood Israel ma jongʼanyogo kama: ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Yaye dhood Israel, timbeu mamono oroma!

And thou shalt say to the house of Israel that provoketh me: Thus saith the Lord God: Let all your wicked doings suffice you, O house of Israel:

7 Kaachiel gi timbeu mamono mamoko duto, ne ukelo ogendini mamoko ma ok oter nyangu gie chunygi gi ringregi nyaka ei kara maler mar lemo, mine udwanyo hekaluna kane uchiwona chiemo gi boche kod remo, kendo ne uketho singruokna kodu.

In that you have brought in strangers uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, and to defile my house: and you offer my bread, the fat, and the blood: and you have broken my covenant by all your wicked doings.

8 Kar timo gima owinjore utim gi giga maler, to ne uketo jomoko nono mondo ema orit kara maler mar lemo.

And you have not kept the ordinances of my sanctuary: but you have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.

9 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Onge ogendini ma ok oter nyangu gie chunygi kata kuom ringregi moyie negidonjo kara maler mar lemo, kata obed ni gin oganda ma oko modak e dier jo-Israel.

Thus saith the Lord God: No stranger uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, no stranger that is in the midst of the children of Israel.

10 “‘To jo-Lawi mane odhi mabor koda ka jo-Israel nobaro oweya, mago mane obaro oweya ka giluwo nyisechegi manono, nyaka yud kum maromre gi richogi.

Moreover the Levites that went away far from me, when the children of Israel went astray, and have wandered from me after their idols, and have borne their iniquity:

11 Ginyalo mana tiyona e kara maler mar lemo ka girito dhorangeye mag hekalu kendo ka gikonyo tije moko e iye; ginyalo yangʼo jamni mitimogo misengini miwangʼo pep kendo ginyalo chiwo misengini ni ji ka gichungʼ e nyimgi kendo gitiyonegi.

They shall be officers in my sanctuary, and doorkeepers of the gates of the house, and ministers to the house: they shall slay the holocausts, and the victims of the people: and they shall stand in their sight, to minister to them.

12 To nikech negitiyo nigi e nyim nyisechegi manono, mi gimiyo jo-dhood Israel opodho e richo, omiyo asekwongʼora chuth ni nyaka giyud kum maromre gi richogi, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.

Because they ministered to them before their idols, and were a stumblingblock of iniquity to the house of Israel: therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, saith the Lord God, and they shall bear their iniquity:

13 Ok oyienigi sudo buta machiegni mondo gitina kaka jodolo, kata mondo gibi machiegni gi gira moro amora maler, kata gi chiwo maga maler mogik. Nyaka gitingʼ wichkuot mar timbegi mamono.

And they shall not come near to me to do the office of priest to me, neither shall they come near to any of my holy things that are by the holy of holies: but they shall bear their shame, and their wickednesses which they have committed.

14 To kata kamano pod abiro ketogi jorit mag tijega mag hekalu kod tije duto monego otim e iye.

And I will make them doorkeepers of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.

15 “‘To jodolo ma jo-Lawi kendo ma nyikwa Zadok mane otiyo tijegi gi adiera e kara maler mar lemo kane jo-Israel obaro oweya, oyienigi sudo buta machiegni mondo giti e nyima. Ginyalo chungʼ e nyima ka gichiwo misengini mag boche gi remo, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.

But the priests, and Levites, the sons of Sadoc, who kept the ceremonies or my sanctuary, when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me, to minister to me: and they shall stand before me, to offer me the fat, and the blood, saith the Lord God.

16 Gin kendgi ema onego gidonji e kara maler mar lemo; gin kendgi ema oyienigi sudo machiegni gi mesana mondo giti e nyima kendo gitim tijena.

They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and to keep my ceremonies.

17 “‘Ka gidonjo e dhorangeye mag laru ma iye, to nyaka girwak lewni marep-rep. Ok oyienegi rwako lewni mapek molos gi yie rombe ka gitiyo e dhorangeye mag laru ma iye, kata ei hekalu.

And when they shall enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments: neither shall any woollen come upon them, when they minister in the gates of the inner court and within.

18 Nyaka gitwe kilemba molos gi lewni marep-rep e wiyegi, kendo nyaka gitwe lewni marep-rep e nungogi. Ok oyienigi rwako gimoro amora manyalo miyo luya chamgi.

They shall have linen mitres on their heads, and linen breeches on their loins, and they shall not be girded with any thing that causeth sweat.

19 Kagiwuok oko mondo gidonji e laru ma oko kama ji nitie to nyaka gigol oko lewni mane girwako ka gitiyo, kendo nyaka giwegi e udi maler mowal, ka girwako lepgi mamoko, mondo kik gikel chandruok ni joma orere e lewnigo.

And when they shall go forth to the outward court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them up in the store chamber of the sanctuary, and they shall clothe themselves with other garments: and they shall not sanctify the people with their vestments.

20 “‘Ok oyienigi lielo yie wigi kata weyo yie wigi dongo maboyo, to nyaka gine ni yier wiyegi obusi maber.

Neither shall they shave their heads, nor wear long heir: but they shall only poll their heads.

21 Ok oyiene jadolo madho divai seche modonjo e laru maiye.

And no priest shall drink wine when he is to go into the inner court.

22 Bende ok oyienigi kendo mon ma chwogi otho, kata mon moweyo chwogi. Ginyalo kendo mana nyiri masilili mag jo-Israel, kata dhako ma chwore otho ma chwore ne jadolo.

Neither shall they take to wife a widow, nor one that is divorced, but they shall take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel: but they may take a widow also, that is, the widow of a priest.

23 Jadolo onego puonj joga pogruok manie kind gik maler mowal kod gik moko amoka moriwo ji duto, kendo nyaka ginyisgi kaka ginyalo pogo kind gik mochido gi gik mopwodhi.

And they shall teach my people the difference between holy and profane, and shew them how to discern between clean and unclean.

24 “‘Ka nitie winjruok marach moro amora e kind ji, to jodolo nyaka bed jongʼad bura kendo nyaka gilos wachno kaluwore gi buchena. Nyaka girit chikena gi yorena morito nyasi maga moyiedhi duto, kendo nyaka girit Sabato maga kaka odiechienge maler.

And when there shall be a controversy, they shall stand in my judgments, and shall judge: they shall keep my laws, and my ordinances in all my solemnities, and sanctify my sabbaths.

25 “‘Jadolo nyaka ritre, kendo kik osud machiegni gi ringre ngʼama otho ma dimi obed mogak. To kapo ni ngʼama othono en wuon mare kata min mare, kata wuode kata nyare, kata owadgi kata nyamin mapok odhi tedo, to oyiene mondo obed mogak.

And they shall come near no dead person, lest they be defiled, only their father and mother, and son and daughter, and brother and sister, that hath not had another husband: for whom they may become unclean.

26 Ka osepwodhore, to nyaka orit kuom ndalo abiriyo.

And after one is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days.

27 Odiechiengʼ mowinjore odonji e laru maiye mar kama ler mar lemo mondo oti tij dolo e kama ler mar lemo, to nyaka ochiw misango mar golo richo ni en owuon, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.

And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, to the inner court, to minister unto me in the sanctuary, he shall offer for his sin, saith the Lord God.

28 “‘An e girkeni kende ma jadolo nigo. Kik umigi mwandu moro amora e piny Israel. An ema abiro bedo mwandugi.

And they shall have no inheritance, I am their inheritance: neither shall you give them any possession in Israel, for I am their possession.

29 Gibiro chamo misengini mag cham, misengini mag golo richo kod misengini mag pwodhruok; kendo gimoro amora manie piny Israel mowal ni Jehova Nyasaye nobed margi.

They shall eat the victim both for sin and for trespass: and every vowed thing in Israel shall be theirs.

30 Chambu mabeyo mogik duto mukwongo kayo kaachiel gi chiwo magu duto makende biro bedo mag jodolo. Chiemo mokwong tedo mag chambgi nomi jodolo eka ginigwedh miechu.

And the firstfruits of all the firstborn, and all the libations of all things that are offered, shall be the priest’s: and you shall give the firstfruits of your meats to the priest, that he may return a blessing upon thy house.

31 Jodolo ok oyienegi chamo gimoro amora motho kende kata ma ondiek onego, bed ni en winyo kata le.

The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself or caught by a beast, whether it be fowl or cattle.
