Ezekiel 16

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

2 Son of man, make known to Jerusalem her abominations.

“Wuod dhano, nyis Jerusalem timbene mamono duto e wangʼe,

3 And thou shalt say: Thus saith the Lord God to Jerusalem: Thy root, and thy nativity is of the land of Chanaan, thy father was an Amorrhite, and thy mother a Cethite.

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 And when thou wast born, in the day of thy nativity thy navel wits not cut, neither wast thou washed with water for thy health, nor salted with salt, nor swaddled with clouts.

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 eye had pity on thee to do any of these things for thee, out of compassion to thee: but thou wast cast out upon the face of the earth in the abjection of thy soul, in the day that thou wast born.

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 And passing by thee, I saw that thou wast trodden under foot in thy own blood. and I said to thee when thou wast in thy blood: Live: I have said to thee: Live in thy blood.

“‘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 caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field: and thou didst increase and grow great, and advancedst, and camest to woman’s ornament: thy breasts were fashioned, and thy hair grew: and thou wast naked, and full of confusion.

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 And I passed by thee, and saw thee: and behold thy time was the time of lovers: and I spread my garment over thee, and covered thy ignominy. And I swore to thee, and I entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord God: and thou becamest mine.

“‘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 And I washed thee with water, and cleansed away thy blood from thee: and I anointed thee with oil.

“‘Bangʼe ne aluoki gi pi kendo ne arudho remo mane omieni mi awiri gi mo.

10 And I clothed thee with embroidery, and shed thee with violet coloured shoes: and I girded thee about with fine linen, and clothed thee with fine garments.

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 decked thee also with ornaments, and put bracelets on thy hands, and a chain about thy neck.

Ne amiyi tigo ma nengogi tek kaka: Bangli e bedeni kod tigo ne aliero e ngʼuti,

12 And I put a jewel upon thy forehead and earrings in thy ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head.

kendo ne aketo tere e umi, gi sitadi e iti koni gi koni, bangʼe to ne asidhoni osimbo ma jaber e wiyi.

13 And thou wast adorned with gold, and silver, and wast clothed with fine linen, and embroidered work, and many colours: thou didst eat fine hour, and honey, and oil, and wast made exceeding beautiful: and wast advanced to be a 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 And thy renown went forth among the nations for thy beauty: for thou wast perfect through my beauty, which I had put upon thee, saith 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 trusting in thy beauty, thou playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and thou hast prostituted thyself to every passenger, to be his.

“‘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 And taking of thy garments thou hast made thee high places sewed together on each side: and hast played the harlot upon them, as hath not been done before, nor shall be hereafter.

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 And thou tookest thy beautiful vessels, of my gold, and my silver, which I gave thee, and thou madest thee images of men, and hast committed fornication with them.

Gik ma nengogi tek molos gi dhahabu gi fedha mane amiyi bende ne ikawo mi ilosogo nyisechegi machwo mondo ichodi.

18 And thou tookest thy garments of divers colours, and coveredst them: and settest my oil and my sweet incense before them.

Kendo ne ikawo lepi mogorie gik mabeyo mi irwakonegi kendo ne iketo moya gi ubanina e nyimgi.

19 And my bread which I gave thee, the fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast set before them for a sweet odour; and it was done, saith 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 And thou hast taken thy sons, and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne to me: and best sacrificed the same to them to be devoured. Is thy fornication small?

“‘Bende ne ikawo yawuoti gi nyigi mane inywolona mi ichiwogi kaka misango ni nyisechegi. Timbegi mag chode ne ok oromi?

21 Thou hast sacrificed and given my children to them, consecrating them by fire.

Ne iyangʼo nyithinda kendo ichiwogi kaka misango ne nyiseche ma dhano oloso.

22 And after all thy abominations, and fornications, thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked, and full of confusion, trodden under foot in thy 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 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness (woe, woe to thee, saith the Lord God)

“‘Bangʼ timbeni mamonogo duto, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho niya, yaye, yaye in ngʼama okwongʼ! Kaachiel gi kethogi mamoko duto,

24 That thou didst also build thee a common stew, and madest thee a brothel house in every street.

ne iloso ni in iwuon kama otingʼore gi malo kendo ne igero kuonde motingʼore gi malo mag kamoro amora.

25 At every head of the way thou hast set up a sign of thy prostitution: and hast made thy beauty to be abominable: and hast prostituted thyself to every one that passed by, and hast multiplied thy fornications.

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 And thou hast committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, men of large bodies, and hast multiplied thy fornications to provoke me.

Ne iterori gi jo-Misri, jo-libambani mane oowore ni chode, mine imedo miya mirima, nikech ringri ne omedo oowore ne terruok.

27 Behold, I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and will take away thy justification: and I will deliver thee up to the will of the daughters of the Philistines that hate thee, that are ashamed of thy wicked way.

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 Thou hast also committed fornication with the Assyrians, because thou wast not yet satisfied: and after thou hadst played the harlot with them, even so thou wast not contented.

Jo-Asuria bende ni iterorigo, nikech gombo mari nokalo konyo, kendo kata gin bende ne ok giromi.

29 Thou hast also multiplied thy fornications in the land of Chanaan with the Chaldeans: and neither so wast then satisfied.

Bangʼe, gomboni mandhaga ne oywayi mi iterori nyaka gi jo-Babulon, ma gin johala madongo, to kata gin bende ne ok giromi.

30 Wherein shall I cleanse thy heart, saith the Lord God: seeing thou dost all these the works 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 Because thou hast built thy brothel house at the head of every way, and thou hast made thy high place in every street: and wast not as a harlot that by disdain enhanceth her price,

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 But as an adulteress, that bringeth in strangers over her husband.

“‘In dhako ma jachodeni! Igeno chwo mamoko moloyo chwori iwuon!

33 Gifts are given to all harlots: but thou hast given hire to all thy lovers, and thou hast given them gifts to come to thee from every side, to commit fornication with thee.

Ochode duto ichulo, to in to ichiwo mich ni joma terore kodi duto, kendo imiyogi asoya mondo gibi iri eka gichopni dwarogi maricho.

34 And it hath happened in thee contrary to the custom of women in thy fornications, and after thee there shall be no such fornication: for in that thou gavest rewards, and didst not take rewards, the contrary hath been done in thee.

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 harlot, hear the word of the Lord.

“‘Kuom mano, in ochot, winj wach Jehova Nyasaye!

36 Thus saith the Lord God: Because thy money hath been poured out, and thy shame discovered through thy fornications with thy lovers, and with the idols of thy abominations, by the blood of thy children whom thou gavest 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 Behold, I will gather together all thy lovers with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all whom thou hast loved, with all whom thou hast hated: and I will gather them together against thee on every side, and will discover thy shame in their sight, and they shall see all thy nakedness.

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 judge thee as adulteresses, and they that shed blood are judged: and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.

Abiro ngʼadoni buch kum mikumogo mon machodo kendo machwero remo, kendo abiro chuli kuor mar remo mar mirimba gi nyieka mager.

39 And I will deliver thee into their hands, and they shall destroy thy brothel house, and throw down thy stews: and they shall strip thee of thy garments, and shall take away the vessels of thy beauty: and leave thee naked, and full of disgrace.

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 And they shall bring upon thee a multitude, and they shall stone thee with stones, and shall slay thee with their swords.

Gibiro chokoni jo-jendeke mi gichielgi gi kite kendo gibiro tongʼi matindo tindo gi liganglagi.

41 And they shall burn thy houses with fire, and shall execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and thou shalt cease from fornication, and shalt give no hire any more.

Gibiro wangʼo uteni kendo gibiro kumi e nyim mon mangʼeny. Abiro tieko timbegi mag chode kendo ok inichak ichul joherani.

42 And my indignation shall rest in thee: and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will cease and be angry no more.

Eka bangʼe mirimba biro rumo kendo nyiego mara mager biro weyi; chunya biro lendo kendo mirimba biro rumo.

43 Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast provoked me in all these things: wherefore I also have turned thy ways upon thy head, saith the Lord God, and I have not done according to thy wicked deeds in all thy 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 every one that useth a common proverb, shall use this against thee, saying: As the mother was, so also is her daughter.

“‘Ngero migoyo e piny Israel ni, “Nyako okawo kit min, nowach kuomi.”

45 Thou art thy mother’s daughter, that cast off her husband, and her children: and thou art the sister of thy sisters, who cast off their husbands, and their children: your mother was a Cethite, and your father an Amorrhite.

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 And thy elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister that dwelleth at thy right hand is Sodom, and her daughters.

Nyaminu maduongʼ ne en Samaria, mane odak gi nyige yo Nyandwat; to nyaminu matin, mane odak gi nyige yo milambo, ne en Sodom.

47 But neither hast thou walked in their ways, nor hast thou done a little less than they according to their wickednesses: thou hast done almost more wicked things than they in all thy ways.

Ok ne iwuotho e yoreni kendo iluwo timbeni mamono, to ne ikethori moloyogi mapiyo nono kuom timbeni duto mobam.

48 As I live, saith the Lord God, thy sister Sodom herself, and her daughters, have not done as thou hast done, and thy daughters.

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 Behold this was the iniquity of Sodom thy sister, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance, and the idleness of her, and of her daughters: and they did not put forth their hand to the needy, and to the poor.

“‘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 And they were lifted up, and committed abominations before me: and I took them away as thou hast seen.

Ne gin jongʼayi kendo negitimo gik mamono e nyima. Emomiyo ne ariembogi e nyima kaka useneno atimoni.

51 And Samaria committed not half thy sins: but thou hast surpassed them with thy crimes, and hast justified thy sisters by all thy abominations which thou hast done.

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 Therefore do thou also bear thy confusion, thou that hast surpassed thy sisters with thy sins, doing more wickedly than they: for they are justified above thee, therefore be thou also confounded, and bear thy shame, thou that hast justified thy sisters.

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 And I will bring back and restore them by bringing back Sodom, with her daughters, and by bringing back Samaria, and her daughters: and I will bring those that return of thee in the midst of 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 That thou mayest bear thy shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, comforting them.

mondo itingʼ achaya mari kendo ine wichkuot kuom gik moko duto misetimo kuom miyogi hoch.

55 And thy sister Sodom and her daughters shall return to their ancient state: and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their ancient state: and thou and thy daughters shall return to your ancient 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 And Sodom thy sister was not heard of in thy mouth, in the day of thy pride,

Ne ok inyal kata luongo nying nyameru ma Sodom gi nyinge e kinde mane sunga omaki,

57 Before thy malice was laid open: as it is at this time, making thee a reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all the daughters of Palestine round about thee, that encompass thee on all sides.

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 Thou hast borne thy wickedness, and thy disgrace, saith the Lord God.

Ibiro tingʼo chandruok duto mosebironi nikech timbeni mamono kendo nikech timbeni moyombore, Jehova Nyasaye osewacho.

59 For thus saith the Lord God: I will deal with thee, as thou hast despised the oath, in 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 And I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth: and I will establish with thee an everlasting covenant.

Kata kamano, pod abiro paro singruok mane atimo kodi kane pod itin, kendo abiro guro singruok mosiko kodi.

61 And thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed: when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thy elder and thy younger: and I will give them to thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.

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 And I will establish my covenant with thee: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord,

Omiyo abiro guro singruok mara kodi, kendo ibiro ngʼeyo ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.

63 That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and mayest no more open thy mouth because of thy confusion, when I shall be pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith 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.’”
