< Ezekiel 16 >

1 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
2 “Son of man, confront Jerusalem with her abominations
“Wuod dhano, nyis Jerusalem timbene mamono duto e wangʼe,
3 and tell her that this is what the Lord GOD says to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth were in the land of the Canaanites. Your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.
kendo wachne ni ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho ni Jerusalem: ‘Kweregi nonywol e piny Kanaan, kendo wuonu ne en ja-Amor, to minu ne ja-Hiti.
4 On the day of your birth your cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water for cleansing. You were not rubbed with salt or wrapped in cloths.
Odiechiengʼ mane onywolie, pendi ne ok ongʼadi, kata luok ne ok olwoki gi pi mondo ibed maler, to bende ne ok owiri gi chumbi kendo ne ok oboyi gi lewni.
5 No one cared enough for you to do even one of these things out of compassion for you. Instead, you were thrown out into the open field, because you were despised on the day of your birth.
Onge ngʼama nokechi kata mane nigi ngʼwono moromo mar timoni achiel kuom gigi. Kar yudo kech to ne odiri oko e pap, nikech odiechiengʼ mane onywolie ema ne ochak chayie.
6 Then I passed by and saw you wallowing in your blood, and as you lay there in your blood I said to you, ‘Live!’ There I said to you, ‘Live!’
“‘Chiengʼ moro kane akalo machiegni kodi ne ayudo ka ithachori gi rembi iwuon kendo kata obedo ni nitimo remo kamano to ne awachoni ni ibed mangima.
7 I made you thrive like a plant of the field. You grew up and matured and became very beautiful. Your breasts were formed and your hair grew, but you were naked and bare.
Ne amiyo idongo ka yien mopidhi e puodho. Ne idongo kendo ne ibedo motegno, mine idoko yath motegno kendo ma jaber moloyo yedhe duto. Thundeni nobiro, kendo yie wiyi nodongo mabeyo, to kata kamano ne in duk thirith.
8 Then I passed by and saw you, and you were indeed old enough for love. So I spread My cloak over you and covered your nakedness. I pledged Myself to you, entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine, declares the Lord GOD.
“‘Bangʼe ne achako akalo machiegni, kendo kane arangi to ne aneno ni ne isebedo mopongʼ moromo hero, omiyo ne ayaro bath nangana mi aumogo dugi. Natimo kodi singruok kakwongʼora midoko mara, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto owacho.
9 Then I bathed you with water, rinsed off your blood, and anointed you with oil.
“‘Bangʼe ne aluoki gi pi kendo ne arudho remo mane omieni mi awiri gi mo.
10 I clothed you in embroidered cloth and gave you sandals of fine leather. I wrapped you in fine linen and covered you with silk.
Ne arwaki gi lewni mogorie gik mabeyo kendo ne arwakoni wuoche akada mayom. Ne arwakoni law mayom kendo ne aumi gi lewni ma nengogi tek.
11 I adorned you with jewelry, and I put bracelets on your wrists and a chain around your neck.
Ne amiyi tigo ma nengogi tek kaka: Bangli e bedeni kod tigo ne aliero e ngʼuti,
12 I put a ring in your nose, earrings on your ears, and a beautiful crown upon your head.
kendo ne aketo tere e umi, gi sitadi e iti koni gi koni, bangʼe to ne asidhoni osimbo ma jaber e wiyi.
13 So you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was made of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. You ate fine flour, honey, and oil. You became very beautiful and rose to be queen.
Omiyo ne ilichori gi fedha kod dhahabu, kendo lepi nolosi gi usi mayom gi usi mapek ma nengone tek kod nanga mogorie gik mabeyo. Chiembi to ne mogo moreg mayom gi mor kich kod mor zeituni. Ne imedo bedo dhako ma jaber manomiyo ibedo ruoth madhako.
14 Your fame spread among the nations on account of your beauty, for it was perfect in the splendor I bestowed on you, declares the Lord GOD.
Kendo humbi nolandore e pinje kuom ber mane ibergo, nikech duongʼ mane amiyi nomiyo berni oromo chuth, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.
15 But because of your fame, you trusted in your beauty and played the harlot. You lavished your favors on everyone who passed by, and your beauty was theirs for the asking.
“‘To ne igeno kuom berni, kendo ne ikonyori gi huma mari mondo ibedgo ochot. Ne ilokori ochot mochiwore ni ngʼato angʼata makadho machiegni kendo berni nodoko mare.
16 You took some of your garments and made colorful high places for yourself, and on them you prostituted yourself. Such things should not have happened; never should they have occurred!
Ne ikawo moko kuom lewni mabeyo mane amiyi mi idhi ipedho kuonde motingʼore gi malo, kuma ne itime timbegi mag chode. Gik ma kamago ne pok owinji, kendo ok owinjore gitimre ngangʼ.
17 You also took the fine jewelry of gold and silver I had given you, and you made male idols with which to prostitute yourself.
Gik ma nengogi tek molos gi dhahabu gi fedha mane amiyi bende ne ikawo mi ilosogo nyisechegi machwo mondo ichodi.
18 You took your embroidered garments to cover them, and you set My oil and incense before them.
Kendo ne ikawo lepi mogorie gik mabeyo mi irwakonegi kendo ne iketo moya gi ubanina e nyimgi.
19 And you set before them as a pleasing aroma the food I had given you—the fine flour, oil, and honey that I had fed you. That is what happened, declares the Lord GOD.
Bende, chiemo ma An awuon ema ne amiyi kaka mogo mayom, mor zeituni kod mor kich mane amiyi mondo icham mi ichiwonegi kaka misango madungʼ tik mangʼwe ngʼar. Mano e gima notimore, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.
20 You even took the sons and daughters you bore to Me and sacrificed them as food to idols. Was your prostitution not enough?
“‘Bende ne ikawo yawuoti gi nyigi mane inywolona mi ichiwogi kaka misango ni nyisechegi. Timbegi mag chode ne ok oromi?
21 You slaughtered My children and delivered them up through the fire to idols.
Ne iyangʼo nyithinda kendo ichiwogi kaka misango ne nyiseche ma dhano oloso.
22 And in all your abominations and acts of prostitution, you did not remember the days of your youth when you were naked and bare, wallowing in your own blood.
Kuom timbeni duto mamono gi chode mane idonje, ne ok iparo ndalo mane pod itin, kindego mane in duk, kane ayudi ka remo olwoki.
23 Woe! Woe to you, declares the Lord GOD. And in addition to all your other wickedness,
“‘Bangʼ timbeni mamonogo duto, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho niya, yaye, yaye in ngʼama okwongʼ! Kaachiel gi kethogi mamoko duto,
24 you built yourself a mound and made yourself a lofty shrine in every public square.
ne iloso ni in iwuon kama otingʼore gi malo kendo ne igero kuonde motingʼore gi malo mag kamoro amora.
25 At the head of every street you built your lofty shrines and degraded your beauty. With increasing promiscuity, you spread your legs to all who passed by.
E nyim yore duto mag dala, ne igeroe kuonde motingʼore gi malo ma ilame nyisecheni mine injawo berni, kane ichiwo dendi ne ngʼato angʼata mane kadho buti nikech ringri nomedo oowre ni terruok.
26 You prostituted yourself with your lustful neighbors, the Egyptians, and increased your promiscuity to provoke Me to anger.
Ne iterori gi jo-Misri, jo-libambani mane oowore ni chode, mine imedo miya mirima, nikech ringri ne omedo oowore ne terruok.
27 Therefore I stretched out My hand against you and reduced your portion. I gave you over to the desire of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your lewd conduct.
Omiyo ne amiyi kum mi adiyo kiewo mari; ne ajwangʼou e lwet wasiki ma jowuoro, ma gin nyi jo-Filistia, kendo gin bende timbegi manjore nobwogogi.
28 Then you prostituted yourself with the Assyrians, because you were not yet satisfied. Even after that, you were still not satisfied.
Jo-Asuria bende ni iterorigo, nikech gombo mari nokalo konyo, kendo kata gin bende ne ok giromi.
29 So you extended your promiscuity to Chaldea, the land of merchants—but even with this you were not satisfied!
Bangʼe, gomboni mandhaga ne oywayi mi iterori nyaka gi jo-Babulon, ma gin johala madongo, to kata gin bende ne ok giromi.
30 How weak-willed is your heart, declares the Lord GOD, while you do all these things, the acts of a shameless prostitute!
“‘Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto owacho ni mano kaka nenore ni chunyi ok nigi chandruok kuom timbe mitimogi duto, kibedo ochot ma wangʼe tek!
31 But when you built your mounds at the head of every street and made your lofty shrines in every public square, you were not even like a prostitute, because you scorned payment.
Kane iloso ni in iwuon kuonde motingʼore gi malo e akek yore duto mag dala kendo igero ni iwuon kuonde motingʼore mag lemo kamoro amora, to in ne ok ichalo gi ochot, nikech ne ok idwaro chudo moro amora.
32 You adulterous wife! You receive strangers instead of your own husband!
“‘In dhako ma jachodeni! Igeno chwo mamoko moloyo chwori iwuon!
33 Men give gifts to all their prostitutes, but you gave gifts to all your lovers. You bribed them to come to you from everywhere for your illicit favors.
Ochode duto ichulo, to in to ichiwo mich ni joma terore kodi duto, kendo imiyogi asoya mondo gibi iri eka gichopni dwarogi maricho.
34 So your prostitution is the opposite of that of other women: No one solicited your favors, and you paid a fee instead of receiving one; so you are the very opposite!
Omiyo kit terruok mari opogore adier gi terruok mag ji mamoko, nikech in ok chwo manyi mondo ichopnegi gombogi. Ipogori ndi, nikech in ema ichulo ji mondo oterre kodi to in ok gichuli.
35 Therefore, O prostitute, hear the word of the LORD!
“‘Kuom mano, in ochot, winj wach Jehova Nyasaye!
36 This is what the Lord GOD says: Because you poured out your wealth and exposed your nakedness in your promiscuity with your lovers and with all your detestable idols, and because of the blood of your children which you gave to them,
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Nikech ne ibedo gi gombo mi ilonyori duk michiwo ringre ka dhako ma jachode ni joherani, kendo ni nyisecheni mamono makwero, bende ne inego nyithindi ka misango ni nyisechegi manonogo,
37 therefore I will surely gather all the lovers with whom you found pleasure, all those you loved and all those you hated. I will gather them against you from all around and expose you before them, and they will see you completely naked.
mano emomiyo abiro choko joherani duto mosemiyi mor, moriwo ji duto mane ihero nyaka mane ichayo. Abiro chokogi kendo abiro ketogi mondo gilwori koni gi koni, bangʼe to alonyi duk e nyimgi duto, kendo ginine dugi.
38 And I will sentence you to the punishment of women who commit adultery and those who shed blood; so I will bring upon you the wrath of your bloodshed and jealousy.
Abiro ngʼadoni buch kum mikumogo mon machodo kendo machwero remo, kendo abiro chuli kuor mar remo mar mirimba gi nyieka mager.
39 Then I will deliver you into the hands of your lovers, and they will level your mounds and tear down your lofty shrines. They will strip off your clothes, take your fine jewelry, and leave you naked and bare.
Ka asetimoni kamano to abiro boli e lwet joherani kendo gibiro muko thucheni kod kuondeni motingʼore gi malo milame nyisechegi. Gibiro lonyo lepi mi giweyi duk, kendo gibiro kawo kitegi ma nengogi tek mi giweyi duk.
40 They will bring a mob against you, who will stone you and cut you to pieces with their swords.
Gibiro chokoni jo-jendeke mi gichielgi gi kite kendo gibiro tongʼi matindo tindo gi liganglagi.
41 Then they will burn down your houses and execute judgment against you in the sight of many women. I will put an end to your prostitution, and you will never again pay your lovers.
Gibiro wangʼo uteni kendo gibiro kumi e nyim mon mangʼeny. Abiro tieko timbegi mag chode kendo ok inichak ichul joherani.
42 So I will lay to rest My wrath against you, and My jealousy will turn away from you. Then I will be calm and no longer angry.
Eka bangʼe mirimba biro rumo kendo nyiego mara mager biro weyi; chunya biro lendo kendo mirimba biro rumo.
43 Because you did not remember the days of your youth, but enraged Me with all these things, I will surely bring your deeds down upon your own head, declares the Lord GOD. Have you not committed this lewdness on top of all your other abominations?
“‘Nikech ne ok iparo ndalo mane pod itin, to ne iwangʼo iya gi gigi duto, omiyo abiro kumi, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto owacho. Donge timbegi duto mamono ne imedo gi dwanyruok?
44 Behold, all who speak in proverbs will quote this proverb about you: ‘Like mother, like daughter.’
“‘Ngero migoyo e piny Israel ni, “Nyako okawo kit min, nowach kuomi.”
45 You are the daughter of your mother, who despised her husband and children. You are the sister of your sisters, who despised their husbands and children. Your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.
In nyar minu adier, nikech minu nochayo chwore gi nyithinde; kendo ichal gi nyimineni adier, nikech nyimineni bende nochayo chwogi gi nyithindgi. Minu ne en ja-Hiti to wuonu ne en ja-Amor.
46 Your older sister was Samaria, who lived with her daughters to your north; and your younger sister was Sodom, who lived with her daughters to your south.
Nyaminu maduongʼ ne en Samaria, mane odak gi nyige yo Nyandwat; to nyaminu matin, mane odak gi nyige yo milambo, ne en Sodom.
47 And you not only walked in their ways and practiced their abominations, but soon you were more depraved than they were.
Ok ne iwuotho e yoreni kendo iluwo timbeni mamono, to ne ikethori moloyogi mapiyo nono kuom timbeni duto mobam.
48 As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, your sister Sodom and her daughters never did as you and your daughters have done.
Akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon an Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ni kata mana nyameru ma Sodom gi nyige ne ok otimo gik maricho machal gi gik ma in kod nyigi usetimoni.
49 Now this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed, and complacent; they did not help the poor and needy.
“‘Koro ma e richo mane nyameru ma Sodom otimo. En kod nyige ne wigi tek kendo ne giyiengʼ ahinya ma ok gidew jomoko machandore. Ne ok gikonyo joma odhier gi joma ni gidwaro.
50 Thus they were haughty and committed abominations before Me. Therefore I removed them, as you have seen.
Ne gin jongʼayi kendo negitimo gik mamono e nyima. Emomiyo ne ariembogi e nyima kaka useneno atimoni.
51 Furthermore, Samaria did not commit half the sins you did. You have multiplied your abominations beyond theirs, and all the abominations you have committed have made your sisters appear righteous.
Kata mana jo-Samaria to ne ok otimo kata mana nus mar richo ma usetimoni. Usetimo gik mamono mathoth mohingogi, kendo usemiyo nyimineu onenore ka gima gin joma kare nikech gik musetimogi duto.
52 So now you must bear your disgrace, since you have brought justification for your sisters. For they appear more righteous than you, because your sins were more vile than theirs. So you too must bear your shame and disgrace, since you have made your sisters appear righteous.
Kuom mano, tingʼ wichkuot mari kendi, nikech isegonyo nyiminegi mobedo thuolo kaka joma beyo moloyi. Nikech richogi ne richo moloyo mag-gi, omiyo koro ginenore joma kare mohingi. Omiyo koro ne wichkuot kendo tingʼ achaya mochayigo kendi iwuon, nikech in ema isemiyo nyiminegi onenore joma kare moloyi.
53 But I will restore Sodom and her daughters from captivity, as well as Samaria and her daughters. And I will restore you along with them.
“‘To kata kamano, abiro dwoko ne Sodom gi nyige mwanduge, kendo mwandu Samaria gi nyige bende abiro dwoko nigi, kod mwandugi bende abiro dwokoni kaachiel kodgi,
54 So you will bear your disgrace and be ashamed of all you did to comfort them.
mondo itingʼ achaya mari kendo ine wichkuot kuom gik moko duto misetimo kuom miyogi hoch.
55 And your sisters, Sodom with her daughters and Samaria with her daughters, will return to their former state. You and your daughters will also return to your former state.
Nyimineni ma gin Sodom gi nyige kod Samaria gi nyige, biro lokore mi gibed gima ne gin chon; kendo in bende, kaachiel gi nyigi ibiro lokori mi ibed kaka ne ichalo chon.
56 Did you not treat your sister Sodom as an object of scorn in the day of your pride,
Ne ok inyal kata luongo nying nyameru ma Sodom gi nyinge e kinde mane sunga omaki,
57 before your wickedness was uncovered? Even so, you are now scorned by the daughters of Edom and all those around her, and by the daughters of the Philistines—all those around you who despise you.
kane timbeni maricho pok oel. To kata kamano, sani koro ochayi gi nyi Edom kaachiel gi joma odak bute kod nyi jo-Filistia, jogo duto modak e alwora mari ochayi.
58 You will bear the consequences of your lewdness and your abominations, declares the LORD.
Ibiro tingʼo chandruok duto mosebironi nikech timbeni mamono kendo nikech timbeni moyombore, Jehova Nyasaye osewacho.
59 For this is what the Lord GOD says: I will deal with you according to your deeds, since you have despised the oath by breaking the covenant.
“‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Abiro tiyo kodi kaluwore gi gima onego iyudi, nikech iseketho winjruok mane an-go kodi kuom ketho singruok.
60 But I will remember the covenant I made with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.
Kata kamano, pod abiro paro singruok mane atimo kodi kane pod itin, kendo abiro guro singruok mosiko kodi.
61 Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your older and younger sisters. I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of My covenant with you.
Eka inipar yoreni mi wiyi kuodi, kendo inirwak nyimineni madongo mohingi kod matindoni. Anamiyigi kaka nyigi, to ok natim kamano kotenore kuom singruok mara kodi.
62 So I will establish My covenant with you, and you will know that I am the LORD,
Omiyo abiro guro singruok mara kodi, kendo ibiro ngʼeyo ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.
63 so that when I make atonement for all you have done, you will remember and be ashamed and never again open your mouth because of your disgrace, declares the Lord GOD.”
Bangʼe ka aseweyonu richou kuom gik moko duto musetimo, to ubiro paro kendo wiu biro kuot, kendo ok unuchak uwuo kendo nikech unuyie ni ok unyal, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto owacho.’”
