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 happened that, in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth of the month, I was sitting in my house, and the elders of Judah were sitting before me, and the hand of the Lord God fell upon me there.
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.
And I saw, and behold, there was an image with the appearance of fire. From the appearance of his waist, and downward, there was fire. And from his waist, and upward, there was the appearance of splendor, like the sight of amber.
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 as the image of a hand went out, it took hold of me by a lock of my head. And the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven. And he brought me into Jerusalem, within a vision of God, next to the inner gate that looked toward the north, where there was stationed an idol of rivalry, so as to provoke an envious emulation.
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, in accord with the vision that I had seen 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.
And he said to me: “Son of man, lift up your eyes to the way of the north.” And I lifted up my eyes to the way of the north. And behold, from the north of the gate of the altar was the idol of rivalry, at the same entrance.
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 to me: “Son of man, you see what these ones are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel is committing here. Do you not think, then, that I should withdraw far away from my own sanctuary? But if you turn again, you will see even greater abominations.”
7 Eka nokela nyaka kama idonjogo e laru. Ne angʼicho mine aneno bur e kor ot.
And he led me in by the door of the atrium. And I saw, and behold, there was an opening in the wall.
8 Nowachona niya, “Wuod dhano, koro kuny kor ot.” Omiyo ne akunyo kor ot kendo ne aneno dhoot kanyo.
And he said to me: “Son of man, dig in the wall.” And when I had dug in the wall, there appeared one door.
9 To nowachona niya, “Donji e iye mondo ine gik maricho kendo makwero ma gitimo kanyo.”
And he said to me: “Enter and see the most wicked abominations which they are committing 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.
And entering, I saw, and behold, every kind of image of reptiles and animals, the abominations, and all of the idols of the house of Israel were depicted on the wall all around, throughout the entire place.
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 were seventy men out of the elders of the house of Israel, with Jaazaniah, the son of Shaphan, standing in their midst, and they stood before the pictures. And each one had a censer in his hand. And a cloud of smoke rose up from the incense.
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.’”
And he said to me: “Certainly, son of man, you see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each one while hidden in his chamber. For they say: ‘The Lord does not see us. The Lord has forsaken the earth.’”
13 Nochako owacho kendo niya, “Ibiro nenogi ka gitimo gik mochido moloyo misenenogo.”
And he said to me: “If you turn again, you will see even greater abominations, which these ones are committing.”
14 Eka nokela nyaka kama idonjogo e dhorangach man yo nyandwat mar od Jehova Nyasaye, kendo naneno mon kobet kanyo, ka ywago Tamuz.
And he led me in through the door of the gate of the Lord’s house, which looked toward the north. And behold, women were sitting there, mourning for Adonis.
15 Nowachona ni, “Bende ineno gima timoreni, wuod dhano? Ibiro neno gik mochido moloyo ma.”
And he said to me: “Certainly, son of man, you have seen. But if you turn again, you will see even 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 led me into the inner atrium of the house of the Lord. And behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the vestibule and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east. And they were adoring toward the rising of the Sun.
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!
And he said to me: “Certainly, son of man, you have seen. Can this be so trivial to the house of Judah, when they commit these abominations, just as they have committed here, that, having filled the earth with iniquity, they now turn to provoke me? And behold, they are applying a 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, I also will act toward them in my fury. My eye will not be lenient, nor will I take pity. And when they will have cried out to my ears with a loud voice, I will not heed them.”
