Ezekiel 18
1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
2 What mean ye, ye who use this proverb of the land of Israel, saying, [The] fathers eat sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge?
“Bende isewinjo ngero ma ji osiko kawacho e piny Israel niya, “‘Wuone osechamo olemo manumu, to nyithindo ema lekegi tho?’
3 [As] I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, ye shall not have any more to use this proverb in Israel.
“Akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon an Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ni ok unuchak ugo ngeroni e piny Israel.
4 Behold, all the souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Nikech ji duto mangima gin maga, wuoro kaachiel gi wuowi, giduto machalre. Ngʼato ka ngʼato biro tho mana nikech richone owuon.
5 And if a man be righteous, and do judgment and justice:
“Kaponi nitie ngʼat moro makare moluwo adiera kendo timo gima kare.
6 — he hath not eaten upon the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, nor come near to a woman in her separation,
Ok ochiem ewi gode milame nyiseche manono kata ngʼiyo nyiseche manono mag dhood Israel. Kendo ok odwanyre gi chi nyawadgi kata bedo e achiel gi dhako manie kindene mar neno malo.
7 and hath not oppressed any; he hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath not exercised robbery, hath given his bread to the hungry, and covered the naked with a garment;
Ok othir ngʼato angʼata to odwoko gima osingne kar hola momiyo ngʼato Ok omaa ngʼato gire githuon, to omiyo joma odenyo chiemo kendo ochiwo lewni ne joma ni duk.
8 he hath not given forth upon usury, nor taken increase; he hath withdrawn his hand from unrighteousness, hath executed true judgment between man and man,
Ok ohol ji gige mondo oyudie ohala, kata ohala mokadho tongʼ ok okaw. Ok oyie mondo lwete otim gima rach kendo ongʼado bura maber e kind ji ka ok odew wangʼ.
9 hath walked in my statutes, and kept mine ordinances, to deal faithfully: he is righteous, he shall certainly live, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Oluwo buchena, kendo orito chikena gadiera. Ngʼat ma kamano en ngʼat makare, omiyo enobed mangima adier, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto owacho.
10 And if he have begotten a son that is violent, a shedder of blood, and that doeth only one of any of these [things],
“Kapo ni en gi wuowi mohero lweny, kata mohero chwero remo kata matimo achiel kuom gigi
11 and that doeth not any of those [duties], but also hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife,
mane wuon mare ne ok otimo kaka: “Ochiemo ewi gode milame nyiseche mamoko. Odwanyore gi chi nyawadgi.
12 hath oppressed the poor and needy, exercised robbery, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, committed abomination,
Othiro joma odhier gi joma ochando. Omayo ji gigegi githuon. Ok odwok gik mane omako koholo ji gowi. Ogeno nyiseche mag dhano. Otimo gik makwero. Oholo ji gige mondo oyudie ohala
13 given forth upon usury, and taken increase; shall he then live? He shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall certainly die; his blood shall be upon him.
Kendo okawo ohala mokalo tongʼ. Ngʼat ma kamano, bende nyalo bedo mangima adier? Ok onyal! Nikech osetimo gik mamonogi duto, ibiro nege mak olewo kendo rembe biro bet e wiye owuon.
14 But lo, if he have begotten a son that seeth all his father's sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like:
“To kaponi wuowini nigi wuode moro maneno richo duto ma wuon-gi timo, to kata obedo ni osenenogi; to en to pod ok otimo gik ma kamago:
15 — he hath not eaten upon the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel; he hath not defiled his neighbour's wife,
“Ok ochiem e gode milame nyiseche mamoko kata rango nyiseche mag dhood Israel. Ok odwanyre gi chi nyawadgi
16 and hath not oppressed any, nor withholden the pledge, neither hath exercised robbery; he hath given his bread to the hungry, and covered the naked with a garment;
Ok othir ngʼato angʼata kata mako gir ngʼato eka ohole gimoro. Ok omaa ngʼato gire githuon to ochiwo chiembe ne joma odenyo, kendo ochiwo lewni ne joma ni duk.
17 he hath withdrawn his hand from the poor, hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, [and] walked in my statutes: he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall certainly live.
Otamo lwete mondo kik otim richo kendo ok okaw asoya kata ohala mokalo tongʼ. Orito chikena kendo oluwo buchena. Ok obi tho nikech richo wuon mare to obiro bedo mangima kuom adier.
18 As for his father, because he practised oppression, exercised robbery upon his brother, and did what was not good among his people, behold, he shall die in his iniquity.
To wuon mare to biro tho nikech richone owuon, nikech ne ongʼanyo ni ji kendo ne omayo owadgi githuon kendo nikech ne otimo gik maricho e dier jo-dalagi.
19 And ye say, Why doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? But the son hath done judgment and justice, hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them; he shall certainly live.
“To eka upenjo ni, Angʼo momiyo wuowi ok kwan ka jaketho kuom ketho mar wuon?” Nikech wuowi osetimo gima adier kendo makare kendo nikech oseketo chunye mar rito buchena duto, obiro bedo mangima adier.
20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Ngʼama timo richo ema biro tho. Wuowi ok bi kwan ni jaketho nikech ketho mar wuoro, kendo wuoro ok bi kwan ni jaketho nikech ketho mar wuode. Tim makare mar ngʼama kare ibiro ketne owuon kendo tim mamono mar ngʼama rach biro bedo mare owuon.
21 And the wicked, if he turn from all his sins which he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do judgment and justice, he shall certainly live, he shall not die.
“To ka ngʼat ma timbene richo olokore oweyo richone mosetimo mi orito buchena kendo otimo gima ber kendo makare, to obiro bedo mangima kuom adier; ok obi tho.
22 None of his transgressions which he hath committed shall be remembered against him; in his righteousness which he hath done shall he live.
Ok nokwane jaketho kuom richo duto mosetimo. Nikech gik makare mosetimo, obiro bedo mangima.
23 Have I any pleasure at all in the death of the wicked? saith the Lord Jehovah; is it not in his turning from his way, that he may live?
Uparo ni berna ka jaricho otho? Donge en morna ka gilokore giweyo timbegi maricho mondo gibed mangima? Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ema owacho.
24 And when the righteous turneth from his righteousness and practiseth what is wrong, [and] doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked doeth, shall he live? None of his righteous acts which he hath done shall be remembered: in his unfaithfulness which he hath wrought, and in his sin which he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
“To ka ngʼat makare olokore oweyo timbene makare mi otimo richo kendo otimo gik mamono machalo gi mago ma ngʼat ma timbene richo timo, bende dobed mangima adier? Gik mabeyo mosetimo kata achiel ok nopar. Nikech timne mar bedo ngʼama ok ja-ratiro kendo nikech richo mosetimo, obiro tho.
25 And ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear then, house of Israel. Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
“To ka pod uwacho ni, ‘Yore mag Ruoth Nyasaye ok nikare.’ To winjuru, yaye dhood Israel: Bende yorena ok nikare adier? Donge yoreu ema ok nikare?
26 When the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and practiseth what is wrong, and dieth for it; in his wrong that he hath done shall he die.
Ka ngʼama kare olokore oweyo timbene makare mi otimo richo to timneno ema biro nege. Obiro tho nikech richo mosetimono.
27 And when the wicked turneth from his wickedness which he hath committed, and doeth judgment and justice, he shall keep his soul alive.
To ka ngʼat ma timbene richo olokore oweyo timbene maricho mosetimo, mi otimo tim makare kendo adier, to ok obi otho.
28 Because he considereth, and turneth from all his transgressions which he hath committed, he shall certainly live, he shall not die.
Nikech oparo ketho duto moseketho kendo olokore owegi, obiro bedo mangima kuom adier; ok obi tho.
29 But the house of Israel say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? Is it not your ways that are unequal?
To dhood Israel pod wacho mana ni, ‘Yore mag Ruoth Nyasaye ok nikare.’ To winjuru, yaye dhood Israel: Bende yorena ok nikare adier? Donge yoreu ema ok nikare?
30 Therefore I will judge you, house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord Jehovah. Return ye, and turn from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your snare.
“Kuom mano, yaye dhood Israel, abiro ngʼadonu bura, ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu kaluwore gi yorene owuon, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho. Lokreuru! Weuru ketho duto musetimo, eka richo ok nobednu obadho.
31 Cast away from you all your transgressions wherewith ye have transgressed, and make you a new heart and a new spirit: why then will ye die, house of Israel?
Pogreuru gi ketho duto musetimo, kendo beduru gi chuny manyien kod paro malongʼo. Udwaro ni utho nangʼo, yaye dhood Israel?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord Jehovah; therefore turn ye and live.
Nikech ok en morna ka ngʼato tho, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ema owacho. Weuru timo richo mondo ubed mangima!
