Ezekiel 44

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

Then he brought me back toward the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looked toward the east, —but, 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.

Then said Yahweh unto me This gate shut, shall remain It shall not be opened And no man shall enter thereby, Because Yahweh, God of Israel, doth enter thereby, - Therefore shall it remain—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.”

The prince! as prince, he, shall sit therein, To eat food before Yahweh, — By way of the porch of the gate, shall he go in, and By way thereof, shall he come out.

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.

Then he brought me in by way of the north gate unto the front of the house, and I looked and lo! the glory of Yahweh, filled the house of Yahweh, — so I fell upon 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 Yahweh said unto me, Son of man Apply thy heart And see with thine eyes And with thine ears, hear thou All that I am speaking with thee, As to all the statutes of the house of Yahweh and As to all the laws thereof, - And thou shalt apply thy heart To the entering in of the house, With all the exits 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!

So then thou shalt say unto the perverse [house] unto the house of Israel, Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh: Let it more than suffice you Out of all your abominations, 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.

That ye brought in the sons of the foreigner Uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, To be in my sanctuary. So that he profaned my house, - That ye brought near as my food the fat and the blood, And so they brake my covenant—Among all your abominations;

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

Neither kept ye the charge of my holy things, - But ye did set men to be keepers of my charge in my sanctuary, for your own pleasure,

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 My Lord, Yahweh, No son of a foreigner Uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, —of any son of a foreigner, who is in the midst of the sons 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.

But as for the Levites. Who went far from me, when Israel went astray. Who went astray from me, after their manufactured gods, Therefore shall they bear 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.

Yet shall they remain in my sanctuary As attendants in charge at the gates of the house, — And attending upon the house, — They shall slay the ascending-offering, and the sacrifice of the people, And they, shall stand before them to wait upon 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 used to wait upon them before their manufactured gods, and became to the house of Israel a stumbling-block of iniquity, For this cause have I lifted up my hand concerning them Declareth My Lord Yahweh, 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.

So then they shall not come near unto me To minister as priests unto me, Nor come near unto any of my holy things, As regardeth things most holy, — But they shall bear their rebuke, and their abominations which they have committed;

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

Yet will I make them keepers of the charge of the house, — As to all the labour thereof, and As to all which 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 the Levites the sons of Zadok, Who kept the charge of my sanctuary— when the sons of Israel went astray from me, They shall draw near unto me to wait upon me, And shall stand before me, to bring near unto me the fat and the blood Declareth My Lord, Yahweh:

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 draw near unto my table to wait upon me, - So shall they keep my charge.

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 it shall be when they shall enter into the gates of the inner court, Garments of linen, shall they put on, Yea there shall come upon them no wool, 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.

Chaplets of linen, shall be upon their head, and Breeches of linen shall be upon their loins, — They shall not gird themselves, so as to perspire,

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 go forth into the outer court into the outer court unto the people, They shall put off their garments, wherein they do minister, and lay them in the chambers of the holy place, - And shall put on other garments, That they may not hallow the people by their garments.

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

And their heads, shall they not shave, Nor let the hair grow long, — They shall only poll, their heads.

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

And wine, shall no priest drink, —when they enter 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 widow nor divorced woman, shall they take to them to wife, — But, virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, Or a widow who shall be the widow of a priest shall they take.

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 my people, shall they instruct, between the holy and the common, — And between the unclean and the clean, shall they cause them to distinguish.

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 in a controversy, They shall stand up for justice, With my judgments, shall they judge it, And my laws and my statutes in all mine appointed assemblies, shall they observe, And my sabbaths, shall they hallow.

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 unto no dead person, shall they go in. to defile themselves, - Save that for father or for mother or for son or for daughter, for brother or for sister who hath belonged to no husband they may defile themselves.

26 Ka osepwodhore, to nyaka orit kuom ndalo abiriyo.

Yet after he is cleansed, seven days shall they count to him.

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 when he entereth into the sanctuary, into the inner court to minister in the sanctuary, He shall bring near his sin-bearer, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.

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

So shall it become to them an inheritance, I, am their inheritance, - And possession, shall ye not give them in Israel, 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.

As for the meal-offering and the sin-bearer and the guilt-bearer, they shall eat them, —And everything devoted in Israel to them, shall belong.

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 first of all the firstfruits of everything, and every heave-offering of everything, from among all your heave-offerings to the priests, shall it belong, — The first of your meal, shall ye give to the priest, To cause a blessing to rest upon by house.

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

Nothing that died of itself or was torn in pieces, of bird or of beast shall be eaten by the priests.
