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 mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD 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 even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour 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 he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate 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 vision 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 at 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.”
He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? [even] the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see greater 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 behold 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, pourtrayed 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 ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick 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 ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.
13 Nochako owacho kendo niya, “Ibiro nenogi ka gitimo gik mochido moloyo misenenogo.”
He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see greater abominations that 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 the LORD’s house which [was] toward the north; and, behold, there sat 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? turn thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see 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 the LORD’s house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, [were] about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped 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 returned 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 fury: 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.
