Ezekiel 18
1 The worde of the Lord came vnto me againe, saying,
Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
2 What meane ye that ye speake this prouerbe, concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers haue eaten sowre grapes, and the childrens 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 liue, sayth the Lord God, ye shall vse this prouerbe no more in Israel.
“Akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon an Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ni ok unuchak ugo ngeroni e piny Israel.
4 Beholde, all soules are mine, both the soule of the father, and also the soule of the sonne are mine: the soule 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 But if a man be iust, and doe that which is lawfull, and right,
“Kaponi nitie ngʼat moro makare moluwo adiera kendo timo gima kare.
6 And hath not eaten vpon the mountaines, neither hath lift vp his eyes to the idoles of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbours wife, neither hath lyen with a menstruous woman,
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 Neither hath oppressed any, but hath restored the pledge to his dettour: he that hath spoyled none by violence, but hath giuen his bread to the hungry, and hath couered 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 And hath not giuen foorth vpon vsurie, neither hath taken any increase, but hath withdrawen his hand from iniquitie, and hath executed true iudgement betweene 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 And hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my iudgements to deale truely, he is iust, he shall surely liue, sayth the Lord God.
Oluwo buchena, kendo orito chikena gadiera. Ngʼat ma kamano en ngʼat makare, omiyo enobed mangima adier, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto owacho.
10 If he beget a sonne, that is a thiefe, or a sheader of blood, if he do any one of these things,
“Kapo ni en gi wuowi mohero lweny, kata mohero chwero remo kata matimo achiel kuom gigi
11 Though he doe not all these things, but either hath eaten vpon the mountaines, or defiled his neighbours wife,
mane wuon mare ne ok otimo kaka: “Ochiemo ewi gode milame nyiseche mamoko. Odwanyore gi chi nyawadgi.
12 Or hath oppressed the poore and needy, or hath spoyled by violence, or hath not restored the pledge, or hath lift vp his eyes vnto the idoles, or hath 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 Or hath giuen forth vpon vsurie, or hath taken increase, shall he liue? he shall not liue: seeing he hath done all these abominations, he shall die the death, and his blood shall be vpon 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 if he beget a sonne, that seeth all his fathers sinnes, which he hath done, and feareth, neither doeth 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 That hath not eaten vpon the mountaines, neither hath lift vp his eyes to the idols of ye house of Israel, nor hath defiled his neighbours wife,
“Ok ochiem e gode milame nyiseche mamoko kata rango nyiseche mag dhood Israel. Ok odwanyre gi chi nyawadgi
16 Neither hath oppressed any, nor hath withholden the pledge, neither hath spoyled by violence, but hath giuen his bread to the hungry, and hath couered 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 Neither hath withdrawen his hand from the afflicted, nor receiued vsurie nor increase, but hath executed my iudgements, and hath walked in my statutes, he shall not die in the iniquitie of his father, but he shall surely liue.
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 His father, because he cruelly oppressed and spoyled his brother by violence, and hath not done good among his people, loe, euen he dyeth in his iniquitie.
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 Yet say ye, Wherefore shall not the sonne beare the iniquitie of the father? because ye sonne hath executed iudgement and iustice, and hath kept all my statutes, and done them, he shall surely liue,
“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 same soule that sinneth, shall die: the sonne shall not beare the iniquitie of the father, neither shall the father beare the iniquitie of the sonne, but the righteousnes of the righteous shall be vpon him, and the wickednesse of the wicked shall be vpon him selfe.
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 But if the wicked will returne from all his sinnes that he hath committed, and keepe all my statutes, and doe that which is lawfull and right, he shall surely liue, and 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 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned vnto him, but in his righteousnes that he hath done, he shall liue.
Ok nokwane jaketho kuom richo duto mosetimo. Nikech gik makare mosetimo, obiro bedo mangima.
23 Haue I any desire that the wicked should die, sayth the Lord God? or shall he not liue, if he returne from his wayes?
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 But if the righteous turne away from his righteousnes, and commit iniquitie, and doe according to all the abominations, that the wicked man doeth, shall he liue? all his righteousnes that he hath done, shall not be mentioned: but in his transgression that he hath committed, and in his sinne that 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 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equall: heare now, O house of Israel. Is not my way equall? or are not your wayes vnequall?
“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 For when a righteous man turneth away from his righteousnes, and committeth iniquitie, he shall euen die for the same, he shall euen die for his iniquitie, that he hath done.
Ka ngʼama kare olokore oweyo timbene makare mi otimo richo to timneno ema biro nege. Obiro tho nikech richo mosetimono.
27 Againe when the wicked turneth away from his wickednes that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawfull and right, he shall saue his soule aliue.
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 away from all his transgressions that hee hath committed, he shall surely liue and shall not die.
Nikech oparo ketho duto moseketho kendo olokore owegi, obiro bedo mangima kuom adier; ok obi tho.
29 Yet saith ye house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equall. O house of Israel, are not my wayes equall? or are not your wayes vnequall?
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 iudge you, O house of Israel, euery one according to his wayes, sayth the Lord God: returne therefore and cause others to turne away from all your transgressions: so iniquitie shall not be your destruction.
“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, whereby ye haue transgressed, and make you a newe heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O 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 desire not the death of him that dyeth, sayth the Lord God: cause therefore one another to returne, and liue ye.
Nikech ok en morna ka ngʼato tho, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ema owacho. Weuru timo richo mondo ubed mangima!
