Ezekiel 33
1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take one man from among them all, and set him for their watchman:
“Wuod dhano, wuo gi jothuru kendo iwachnegi ni, ‘Ka akelo lweny e piny moro, kendo ka jopinyno oyiero achiel kuom jogi mi okete kaka jarito margi,
3 if he see the sword coming upon the land, and blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
kendo ka oneno jolweny ka biro mondo oked kodu, bangʼe to ogoyo turumbete mondo ji oikre,
4 then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning, if the sword come and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
to ka dipo ni ngʼato owinjo dwond tungʼ, to ok odewo siemno, mi ligangla obiro monege, to rembe nobed e wiye owuon.
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood is upon him: whereas had he taken warning, he would have delivered his soul.
Nikech ne owinjo dwond tungʼ to ok odewo, rembe nobed e wiye owuon. To ka dine owinj siem, to dine oreso ngimane.
6 But if the watchman see the sword coming, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned, if the sword come and take a person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
To ka jaritono oneno ka wasigu biro, to ok ogoyo tungʼ mondo ji oikre, mi wasigugo obiro monego ngʼato achiel kuomgi, to ngʼatno notho nikech richone, to anaket rembe ewi jaritono.’
7 So thou, son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; and thou shalt hear the word from my mouth, and warn them from me.
“Wuod dhano, aseketi jarito mar dhood Israel, omiyo winj wachna kendo imigi siem moa kuoma.
8 When I say unto the wicked, Wicked [man], thou shalt certainly die; and thou speakest not to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand.
Ka awacho ne ngʼama timbene richo ni, ‘Yaye ngʼama rach, ibiro tho ma ok itony,’ to itamori wuoyo kode mondo igole e yorene maricho, to ngʼat ma timbene richono biro tho nikech richone, to anaket rembe e wiyi.
9 But if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
To ka isiemo ngʼat ma timbene richo mondo owe yorenego, to ok otimo kamano, to obiro tho nikech richone, to in to inires ngimani.
10 And thou, son of man, say unto the house of Israel, Thus ye speak, saying, Our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we waste away in them, how then should we live?
“Wuod dhano, wach ne dhood Israel ni, ‘Ma e gima uwacho: “Kethowa gi richowa pek turowa kendo ni dendwa dhi adhiya. Koro ere kaka dwabed mangima.”’
11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Wachnegi ni, ‘Akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon an Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ni ok amor ka ngʼat ma timbene richo otho, to amor ka gilokore giweyo yoregi maricho mondo gibed mangima. Lokreuru! Lokreuru uwe yoreu maricho! Udwaro tho nangʼo, yaye dhood Israel?’
12 And thou, son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live thereby in the day that he sinneth.
“Emomiyo, wuod dhano, wachne jothuru ni, ‘Tim makare mar ngʼat makare ok bi rese ka odagi winjo wach, kendo ketho mar ngʼat ma timbene richo ok bi miyo opodhi ka olokore oweyogi. Ka ngʼat makare otimo richo to timbene makare mosetimogo ok nyal miyo obed mangima.’
13 When I say to the righteous that he shall certainly live, and he trusteth to his righteousness and doeth what is wrong, none of his righteous acts shall be remembered; but in his unrighteousness which he hath done, in it shall he die.
Ka anyiso ngʼat makare ni kuom adier obiro bedo mangima, kaeto ngʼatno ogeno timne makareno kendo otimo richo, to gik mosetimo mabeyogo duto ok nopar. Enotho nikech gima rach mosetimo.
14 And when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt certainly die, and he turneth from his sin, and doeth judgment and justice;
Kendo ka awachone ngʼama timbene richo ni, ‘Ibiro tho ma ok itony,’ to ka olokore oweyo richone motimo gima adier kendo makare,
15 if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, doing nothing that is wrong; he shall certainly live, he shall not die.
ka odwoko gige ji mane omako kuom gik mane ohologi, gi gik mane okwalo kendo koluwo buche machiwo ngima, kendo oweyo timo richo, to enobed mangima adier kendo ok enotho.
16 None of his sins which he hath committed shall be remembered against him: he hath done judgment and justice; he shall certainly live.
Onge richo moro amora mosetimo ma nopar mi kwan e wiye. Osetimo gima adier kendo makare, obiro bedo mangima adier.
17 Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.
“Makmana jothuru pod wacho ni, ‘Yore mag Ruoth Nyasaye ok nikare!’ To chutho yoregi ema onge adiera.
18 When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and doeth what is wrong, then he shall die therein.
Ka ngʼat makare olokore oweyo timbene mabeyo motimo richo, to obiro tho nikech timneno.
19 And when the wicked turneth from his wickedness, and doeth judgment and justice, he shall live for these things.
Kendo ka ngʼat ma timbene richo olokore oweyo timbene maricho motimo gima adiera kendo makare to obiro bedo mangima kuom timo kamano.
20 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.
Makmana pod uwacho, yaye dhood Israel, ni, ‘Yore Ruoth Nyasaye ok nikare!’ To abiro ngʼado bura ni ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu kaluwore gi yorene owuon.”
21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth [month], on the fifth of the month, that one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten!
Chiengʼ mar abich mar dwe mar apar, e higa mar apar gariyo, ngʼat moro mane oyudo otony koa Jerusalem nobiro ira kendo owacho niya, “Dala maduongʼ osepodho!”
22 Now the hand of Jehovah had been upon me in the evening, before he that had escaped came; and he had opened my mouth against his coming to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.
To kochopo godhiambo ma bangʼe kinyne ngʼatno ne biroe ira, bad Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kuoma, kendo ne oyawo dhoga ka ngʼatno ne pok ochopo ira gokinyi. Omiyo dhoga ne oyawore kendo koro ne ok alingʼ mak awuoyo.
23 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirana kama:
24 Son of man, they that inhabit those waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited this land, and we are many: the land is given us for a possession.
“Wuod dhano, joma odak e dala momukore e piny Israel wacho ni, ‘Ibrahim ne en mana ngʼat achiel kende, to kata kamano nokawo piny. To wan wangʼeny, omiyo koro osemiwa pinyni kaka girkeni.’
25 Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood; and shall ye possess the land?
Kuom mano wach nigi ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Nikech uchamo ringʼo motimo remo kendo ugeno kuom nyisecheu muloso kendo uchwero remo, bende dukaw piny adier?
26 Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour's wife; and shall ye possess the land?
Ugeno kuom ligangla maru, utimo gik mamono, kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu ketho chi nyawadgi. Bende dukaw piny adier ka uchalo kamano?’
27 Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: [As] I live, verily they that are in the waste places shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
“Wachnegi kama: ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon ni joma odongʼ e dala mosemuki biro tho e lweny, to joma ni oko e gwengʼ abiro chiwo ni le mag bungu mondo onegi. Joma oringo opondo kuonde mochiel motegno kod rogo biro tho kod tuoche malandore ma ok rum.
28 And I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment, and the pride of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolated, so that none shall pass through.
Abiro miyo pinyno lokore gunda, kendo tekre mosungorego biro rumo, kendo gode mag Israel nobed moyugno maonge ngʼama nyalo wuothe mi ngʼadi.
29 And they shall know that I [am] Jehovah, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment because of all their abominations which they have committed.
Eka giningʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye, ka aseloko pinyno gunda nikech gik mamono duto magisetimo.’
30 And as for thee, son of man, the children of thy people keep talking of thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from Jehovah.
“To in, wuod dhano, jothuru ochokore wuoyo kuomi ka gichokore e tok ohinga kendo ka gin e dhoutegi, ka moro ka moro kuomgi wacho ne wadgi ni, ‘Bi mondo uwinjie wach moa kuom Jehova Nyasaye.’
31 And they come unto thee as a people cometh, and they sit before thee [as] my people, and they hear thy words, but they do them not; for with their mouth they shew much love, [but] their heart goeth after their dishonest gain.
Joga biro iri, kaka gihero timo, kendo gibet e nyimi mondo giwinj wecheni, to ok gitim gik miwachonegi. Gihulo gi dhogi kaka gin joma ochiwore ne Nyasaye, to chunygi to owuor ne gik mimayo ji.
32 And behold, thou art unto them as a lovely song, a pleasant voice, and one that playeth well on an instrument; and they hear thy words, but they do them not.
Chutho, ichalonegi mana ngʼama wero wende hera gi dwol mamit kendo mongʼeyo goyo thum maber, nikech giwinjo wecheni to ok gitimgi.
33 And when this cometh to pass (behold, it will come), then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
“Ka magi duto notimre kendo gibiro timore mak orem, eka giningʼe ni janabi moro kara ne ni e diergi.”
