Ezekiel 6

1 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kawacho niya,

Yahweh gave me another message. He said,

2 “Wuod dhano chom wangʼi kuom gode mag Israel. Kor wach kuomgi,

“You human, turn toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy [what will happen to] them, and say,

3 kiwacho ni, ‘Yaye gode mag Israel, winjuru wach Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto. Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho ni gode madongo gi matindo, kendo ni bugni gi holni: Achiegni kelo ligangla mabiro kidhou, kendo abiro ketho kuonde motingʼore malo magu.

‘You mountains and hills of Israel [APO], listen to what Yahweh the Lord says to you: “I am about to [enemy soldiers with] swords to come and destroy [the shrines on] your hilltops.

4 Kendeu mag misango ibiro kethi kendo kendeu miwangʼoe ubani ibiro muki, bende abiro keto ringre jo-Israel motho e nyim nyisecheu manono.

They will smash all the [for worshiping idols] and the altars for burning incense. And they will [many Israeli] people in front of those idols.

5 Abiro keyo ringre jo-Israel e nyim nyisechigi manono, kendo abiro keyo chokeu e alwora mag kendeu mag misango.

Their corpses will lie in front of their idols, and their bones will be scattered around their altars.

6 Kamoro amora mudakie, miechugo ibiro keth chuth kendo ibiro muki kuonde motingʼore malo, mondo kendeu mag misango keth chuth mi tieki, kendo nyisecheu manono muki mi rum, kendeu muwangʼoe ubani bende ibiro muki, kaachiel gi gimoro amora museloso.

Wherever the Israelis live, their towns will be ruined, and the shrines where they worship idols will be smashed. Their altars will be completely smashed [DOU], their idols will be completely smashed [DOU], and everything that they own will become a pile of ruins.

7 Jou biro podho piny koseneg-gi e dieru, kendo unungʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.

Many of their people will be killed; and then they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do the things that I say that I will do].

8 “‘To abiro reso ngima moko kuomgi, nikech jomoko kuomu biro tony ne ligangla, ka ibiro keyou e dier pinje gi ogendini.

But I will allow some of the Israelis to remain alive. They will escape being killed when their enemies scatter them among many other nations.

9 Eka joma otony nopara, ka gin e pinje mibiro terogie twech, kaka gisechwanya gi chunjegi mandhaga mosebaro oweya kendo gi wengegi ma gisegombogo nyiseche mopa. Gibiro hum gi kitgi giwegi kuom gik maricho magisetimo kendo kuom timbegi mamono duto.

When that happens, in those nations to which they have been forced to go, those who have escaped from being killed will think about me. They will remember that I was very grieved because of their turning away from me [IDM] with their inner beings, and because they very much desired [IDM] to worship their idols. They will (hate/be very displeased with) themselves because of the evil and detestable things that they have done.

10 Kendo gibiro ngʼeyo ni An e Jehova Nyasaye, kendo ni ne ok awuo awuoya ni abiro kelo nigi masirani.

[they will realize that] I, Yahweh, [have punished them. They will realize that] when I threatened to punish them, I surely intended [LIT] to do that.

11 “‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Tengʼuru lweteu kendo gouru tiendeu piny kuywagoru niya, “Mano lit manade!” Nikech gik maricho gi mamono duto mag jo-dhood Israel, nikech gibiro podho e dho ligangla, gi kech kod tuoche.

So this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, [to you, Ezekiel]: ‘Wring your hands and stamp your feet and cry [to show that you are distressed], and [about what will happen to] your Israeli people [MTY] because of all their wicked and detestable behavior. They will be killed [their enemies’] swords, they will die from hunger, and they will die from plagues.

12 Ngʼat man mabor tuoche nonegi, to ngʼat man machiegni nopodhi gi ligangla, kendo ngʼat motony, ma nores ngimane, kech nonegi. Kamano e kaka abiro toyo mirimba kuomgi.

Those who are far [from Jerusalem] will die from plagues, those who are close [to Jerusalem] will be killed by [their enemies’] swords, and those who are still alive will die from hunger. That is how I will punish [MTY] them.

13 Kendo gibiro ngʼeyo ni An e Jehova Nyasaye, ka jogi monegi opie e dier nyisechegi mopa kolworo kendegi mag misango, kendo kopongʼo kuonde motingʼore gi ewi gode malo kendo e bwo yiende duto motimo otiep gi yiende mag ober duto, kuonde mane gichiwoe ubani madungʼ tik mangʼwe ngʼar ne nyisechegi mopa duto.

[Some of] your people’s corpses will lie among their idols around their altars, on every high hilltop and on all the mountaintops, under every big tree [DOU]—at all the places where they burned incense [honor] their idols. Then they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].

14 Kendo abiro rieyo bada kuomgi mi ami piny lokre kama ok nyal dagie kendo, kochakore piny motwo nyaka Dibla, kamoro amora ma gidakie. Eka giningʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.’”

And I will stretch out my arm and cause your entire country to become an empty wasteland, from the [in the far south] to [town in the far north]. Then they will realize that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do the things that I say that I will do].’”
