Ezekiel 9
1 Eka ne awinjo koluongo gi dwol maduongʼ niya, “Kel jorito mag dala maduongʼ kae, ka moro ka moro nigi gir kedo lweny e lwete.”
And he called before my ears with a loud voice, saying, Let those come near that have charge to punish the city, and every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
2 Eka ne aneno ji auchiel kabiro koa yo rangach mamalo, ka moro ka moro kuomgi otingʼo gir lweny mager e lwete. Ne nitie ngʼato kodgi morwako law mayom mane otingʼo gir ndiko e bathe. Negidonjo mi gichungʼ e bath kendo mar misango mar nyinyo.
And, behold, six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which is turned toward the north, and every man with his weapon of destruction in his hand; and one man in the midst of them was clothed in linen, with a writer's materials by his side: and they went in, and placed themselves beside the copper altar.
3 To duongʼ mar Nyasaye mar Israel nodar oa ewi kerubi kama ne osebetie, mi ohuyo modhi obet ewi kama idonjogo ei hekalu. Bangʼe Jehova Nyasaye noluongo ngʼat mane orwako law mayom-cha, mane otingʼo gir ndiko e bathe,
And the glory of the God of Israel ascended up from the cherub, whereupon it had been, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer's materials by his side.
4 mi owachone niya, “Dhi e dala Jerusalem duto mondo iket kido e lela wangʼ joma okuyo kendo ma chunygi chandore kuom gik mamono mitimonigi.”
And the Lord said unto him, Pass through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and inscribe a mark upon the foreheads of the men who sigh and who complain because of all the abominations which are done in the midst of it.
5 Nowachone joma moko ka awinjo niya, “Luweuru kamoro amora modhiye e dalano kendo uneg ngʼato angʼata ma ok ukechogi kata ngʼwononegi.
And to the others he said before my ears, Pass ye through the city after him, and smite: let your eye not look with pity, and do not spare;
6 Neguru jomadongo gi jomatindo, jotich ma nyiri gi ma yawuowi, mon kod nyithindo, to kik umul ngʼato angʼata man-gi kido e lela wangʼe. Chakuru timo kamano e kara maler mar lemo.” Kuom mano negichako gi jodongo mane ni e nyim hekalu.
The aged, youth, and virgin, and little children, and women shall ye slay and destroy; but come not near any man upon whom the mark is; and at my sanctuary shall ye begin. Then they began with the ancient men who were before the house.
7 Eka nowachonegi niya, “Dhiuru mondo udwany hekalu kendo pongʼuru laru mage gi ringre joma onegi. Dhiuru!” Omiyo ne giwuok mi gidhi kendo negichako nego ji e dalano duto.
And he said unto them, Make unclean the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go forth. And they went forth, and they smote in the city.
8 E kinde mane gineko, kane adongʼ kenda, ne apodho piny auma, mi aywagora niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, bende dineg mitiek pep oganda jo-Israel manok modongʼ e thuolo miolee mirimbi kuom Jerusalem?”
And it came to pass, while they were smiting them, and I alone was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried out, and said, Ah Lord Eternal! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel when thou pourest out thy fury over Jerusalem?
9 Nodwoka niya, “Richo mar dhood Israel gi dhood Juda duongʼ mokalo apima; piny opongʼ gi remo michwero kendo dala maduongʼ opongʼ gi timbe mobam. Giwacho ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye osejwangʼo piny kendo; Jehova Nyasaye ok ne gik matimore.’
Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and of Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood-guiltiness, and the city full of injustice; for they have said, The Lord hath forsaken the land, and the Lord seeth not.
10 Omiyo ok abi kechogi kata ngʼwononigi ma ok akumogi, to abiro kumogi kuom gik magisetimo.”
And as for me also, my eye shall not look with pity, and I will not spare; but I will bring their course upon their own head.
11 Bangʼe ngʼat mane orwako law mayom-cha mane otingʼo gir ndiko e bathe noduogo wach kawacho niya, “Asetimo kaka ne ichiko.”
And, behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the writing materials by his side, brought back word, saying, I have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.
