Ezekiel 8
1 Tarik abich dwe mar auchiel higa mar auchiel, kane abet e oda ka jodongo mag Juda nobet e nyima, teko mar Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto nobiro kuoma.
And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth [month], in the fifth [day] of the month, as I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord Jehovah fell there upon me.
2 Ne angʼicho, kendo ne aneno gima kite chalo gi dhano. Chakre kama ne chalo nungone kadhi piny, nechalo mach, kite ne ler kendo rieny ka chuma mopiagi.
Then I beheld, and, lo, a likeness as the appearance of fire; from the appearance of his loins and downward, fire; and from his loins and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as it were glowing metal.
3 Norieyo gimoro mane chalo gi bat mine okawa gi yie wiya. Roho mar Nyasaye notingʼa malo nyaka kind piny gi polo, kendo ka an ei fweny mag Nyasaye, notera Jerusalem, nyaka kama idonjogo e rangach man yo nyandwat, mar agola maiye, kama ne nitie kido mar nyasaye manono ma Nyasaye mon-go.
And he put forth the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner [court] that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.
4 Kendo e nyima kanyo, ne nitie duongʼ mar Nyasaye mar Israel, mana kaka nobet e fweny mane aseneno e holocha.
And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the appearance that I saw in the plain.
5 Eka nowachona niya, “Wuod dhano, ngʼi yo nyandwat.” Ne angʼiyo kuno, kendo ei kar donjo man yo nyandwat mar rangach michopogo e kendo mar misango, ne aneno kido mar nyasaye manono ma Nyasaye mon-go.
Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold, northward of the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.
6 Nowachona kendo niya, “Wuod dhano, bende ineno gik ma dhood Israel timo ka, ma gin gik mamono mokalo awacha, gik mabiro riemba mabor gi kara maler mar lemo? To ibiro medo neno gik moko maricho moloyo mago.”
And he said unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel do commit here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? But thou shalt again see yet other great abominations.
7 Eka nokela nyaka kama idonjogo e laru. Ne angʼicho mine aneno bur e kor ot.
And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold, a hole in the wall.
8 Nowachona niya, “Wuod dhano, koro kuny kor ot.” Omiyo ne akunyo kor ot kendo ne aneno dhoot kanyo.
Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold, a door.
9 To nowachona niya, “Donji e iye mondo ine gik maricho kendo makwero ma gitimo kanyo.”
And he said unto me, Go in, and see the wicked abominations that they do here.
10 Omiyo ne adonjo e iye, kendo ne angʼicho, mi aneno kit gik mamol duto kod le makwero kod nyiseche molosi mag dhood Israel, kogor e kor odni.
So I went in and saw; and behold, every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon the wall round about.
11 Jodongo piero abiriyo mag dhood Israel nochungʼ e nyimgi, kendo Jazania wuod Shafan nochungʼ kodgi kanyo. Moro ka moro kuomgi notingʼo san miwangʼe ubani e lwete, kendo ubani ne dhwolo iro madungʼ tik kochomo malo.
And there stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel; and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, every man with his censer in his hand; and the odor of the cloud of incense went up.
12 Nowachona niya, “Wuod dhano, bende iseneno gik ma jodong dhood Israel timo e mudho, ka ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomgi odich mana e abich nyasache? Giwacho ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye ok newa; nikech Jehova Nyasaye osejwangʼo piny.’”
Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in his chambers of imagery? for they say, Jehovah seeth us not; Jehovah hath forsaken the land.
13 Nochako owacho kendo niya, “Ibiro nenogi ka gitimo gik mochido moloyo misenenogo.”
He said also unto me, Thou shalt again see yet other great abominations which they do.
14 Eka nokela nyaka kama idonjogo e dhorangach man yo nyandwat mar od Jehova Nyasaye, kendo naneno mon kobet kanyo, ka ywago Tamuz.
Then he brought me to the door of the gate of Jehovah’s house which was toward the north; and behold, there sat the women weeping for Tammuz.
15 Nowachona ni, “Bende ineno gima timoreni, wuod dhano? Ibiro neno gik mochido moloyo ma.”
Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen [this], O son of man? thou shalt again see yet greater abominations than these.
16 Eka nokela e laru maiye mar od Jehova Nyasaye, kendo kanyo, gie kama idonjogo e hekalu, e kind kendo mar misango gi kama owe yo mikadhe, ne nitie ji madirom piero ariyo gabich. Negiloko dier ngʼegi ni hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, kendo ka wengegi ochomo yo wuok chiengʼ, negikulore ne wangʼ chiengʼ man yo wuok chiengʼ.
And he brought me into the inner court of Jehovah’s house; and behold, at the door of the temple of Jehovah, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of Jehovah, and their faces toward the east; and they were worshipping the sun toward the east.
17 Nopenja niya, “Bende ineno gima timoreni, wuod dhano? Bende en wach matin adier mondo jo-Juda odhi nyime gi gik mamono ma gitimo kaeni? Bende owinjore gipongʼ piny gi mahundu kendo gidhi nyime giwangʼo iya? Ne kaka gitwenyona umgi!
Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen [this], O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have turned again to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
18 Emomiyo koro abiro tiyo kodgi gi mirima. Ok abi timonegi tim ngʼwono kendo ok abi weyo mak akumogi. Kata obedo ni gilama matek manade, to ok anadewgi ngangʼ!”
Therefore will I also deal in wrath; mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity; and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
