Ezekiel 21
1 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
2 'Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and preach toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the land of Israel;
“Wuod dhano, chom wangʼi kuom Jerusalem kendo iyal wach kikwedo kama ler mar lemo. Kor wach kuom piny Israel,
3 and say to the land of Israel: Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth My sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.
kendo iwachne ni ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: ‘Adagi. Abiro wuodho ligangla oko e olalo mare mi aneg joma kare gi joma timbegi richo, ka agologi kuomi.
4 Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall My sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north;
Nikech abiro nego joma kare kod joma timbegi richo, ligangla biro wuodhore e olalo mare mitiek ngʼato angʼata, chakre yo milambo nyaka yo nyandwat.
5 and all flesh shall know that I the LORD have drawn forth My sword out of its sheath; it shall not return any more.
Eka ji duto nongʼe ni an Jehova Nyasaye ema asewuodho liganglana kagolo e olalo mare. Ok nodogi e olalone kendo.’
6 Sigh therefore, thou son of man; with the breaking of thy loins and with bitterness shalt thou sigh before their eyes.
“Emomiyo chur, in wuod dhano! Chur e nyimgi gi chuny motur kod kuyo malit.
7 And it shall be, when they say unto thee: Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt say: Because of the tidings, for it cometh; and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be slack, and every spirit shall be faint, and all knees shall drip with water; behold, it cometh, and it shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.'
Kendo ka gipenji ni, ‘Angʼo momiyo ichur?’ To iniwachnegi ni, ‘Nikech wach moro mabiro timore. Bende nyisgi ni e kindeno kihondko nomakgi kendo bedegi nowengni, mi chir ma gin-go nolal nono kendo chongegi notetni.’ Kindeno osechopo kendo gigo biro timore ma ok orem, an Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ema owacho.”
8 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Wach Jehova Nyasaye nochako obirona kama:
9 'Son of man, prophesy, and say: Thus saith the LORD: Say: A sword, a sword, it is sharpened, and also furbished:
“Wuod dhano, kor wach kinyiso ji ni Jehova Nyasaye wacho kama: “‘Ligangla, yaye ligangla mopiagi mabith kendo oywe maler,
10 It is sharpened that it may make a sore slaughter, it is furbished that it may glitter — or shall we make mirth? — against the rod of My son, contemning every tree.
opiage mondo oneki kendo oyweye mondo omil ka polo! “‘Bende dwamor adier kuom ludh loch mar Juda wuoda? Nikech mano to kede akeda ma ligangla ohewo.
11 And it is given to be furbished, that it may be handled; the sword, it is sharpened, yea, it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.
“‘Omiyo ligangla ema koro iyweyo mondo ochak tich, ipiage kendo iyweye mondo okete e lwet janek.
12 Cry and wail, son of man; for it is upon My people, it is upon all the princes of Israel; they are thrust down to the sword with My people; smite therefore upon thy thigh.
Wuod dhano, go nduru kendo dengi, nikech liganglano ochomo joga; ochomo yawuot ruodhi mag Israel duto. Osedirgi e dho ligangla kaachiel gi joga. Emomiyo go nduru kindego nikech wachno!
13 For there is a trial; and what if it contemn even the rod? It shall be no more, saith the Lord GOD.
“‘Adier tem biro ma ok olew, kendo ludh loch mar Juda ok bi siko. Ere gima odongʼ maditim ni joma ochayo ligangla, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto osewacho.’
14 Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thy hands together; and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of those to be slain; it is the sword of the great one that is to be slain, which compasseth them about.
“Kuom mano, wuod dhano, kor wach kendo ipam lweti kanyakla. We ligangla mondo oneg ji nyadiriyo kata nyadidek. En ligangla mar nek, adier en ligangla mar nek maduongʼ, moluorogi.
15 I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied; ah! it is made glittering, it is sharpened for slaughter.
Aseketo ligangla mar nek e dhorangeyeni duto, mondo omi chunygi onyosre kendo ji mangʼeny notho. Abwogo dalagi gi ligangla mamil ka polo, kendo moikore mondo oneki.
16 Go thee one way to the right, or direct thyself to the left; whither is thy face set?
Yaye in ligangla mabith neg ji koni gi koni, kendo ineg ji kamoro amora michomo.
17 I will also smite My hands together, and I will satisfy My fury; I the LORD have spoken it.'
An bende abiro pamo lweta, kendo mirimba mager biro rumo. An Jehova Nyasaye ema asewacho kamano.”
18 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
19 'Now, thou son of man, make thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come; they twain shall come forth out of one land; and mark a signpost, mark it clear at the head of the way to the city.
“Wuod dhano, ket ranyisi mar ligangla kar yore ariyo ma ruodh Babulon biro luwo gi jolwenje, ranyisigo nyaka chakre e piny Babulon. Ket ranyisi moro e akerkeke yorego ma siemo dala maduongʼ.
20 Thou shalt make a way, that the sword may come to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah in Jerusalem the fortified.
Ket ranyisi kama yo pogorego mondo onyis yo madonjo Raba mar jo-Amon, to machielo madonjo Juda kendo moro madonjo Jerusalem mochiel motegno.
21 For the king of Babylon standeth at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination; he shaketh the arrows to and fro, he inquireth of the teraphim, he looketh in the liver.
Nimar ruodh Babulon biro chungʼ e akerkeke mar yo, kama yore ariyogo oriworego mondo ogo gagi kama: Obiro goyo ombulu gi ligangla kendo obiro penjo nyisechege molamo wach, bende obiro rango chuny chiayo motimgo misango mondo ongʼe yo monego oluw.
22 In his right hand is the lot Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth for the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounds, to build forts.
Otingʼo asere mondik ni Jerusalem e lwete ma korachwich, mondo omi ongʼe ni odhi Jerusalem, kogiyo sigich lweny kendo oloso lodi mitwomogo dhorangeye, bende ogingo pidhe mag lowo kendo okunyo buche milworogo ohinga.
23 And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, who have weeks upon weeks! but it bringeth iniquity to remembrance, that they may be taken.
Obiro nenore kaka chich mar miriambo ni joma oseloso kode winjruok, to obiro paronigi kethogi mi okawgi kaka wasumbini.
24 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that your sins do appear in all your doings; because that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.
“Kuom mano, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho kama: ‘Nikech usemiyo richou onenore kuom kethou mutimo, kendo ka unyiso richou oyanga kuom gik mutimo; omiyo koro ibiro teru e twech kaka wasumbini.
25 And thou, O wicked one, that art to be slain, the prince of Israel, whose day is come, in the time of the iniquity of the end;
“‘Yaye ruodh jo-Israel ma timbene mono kendo richo, in bende ndaloni osechopo ma ibiro kumie mogik.
26 thus saith the Lord GOD: The mitre shall be removed, and the crown taken off; this shall be no more the same: that which is low shall be exalted, and that which is high abased.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Lony kilemba mitweyo e wiye kendo igol osimbo mar loch. Nikech gik moko ok bi bedo kaka ne gin chon: Joma ni piny ibiro tingʼ malo, to joma idewo wangʼ-gi ibiro dwok piny.
27 A ruin, a ruin, a ruin, will I make it; this also shall be no more, until he come whose right it is, and I will give it him.
Yaye gunda, yaye gunda, abiro miyo obed gunda adier! Ok nolose kendo nyaka chop ngʼat ma wuon-go hie nobi, kendo en ema anamiyego.’
28 And thou, son of man, prophesy, and say: Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their taunt; and say thou: O sword, O sword keen-edged, furbished for the slaughter, to the uttermost, because of the glitterings;
“To in wuod dhano, kor wach kendo ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho kuom jo-Amon gi ayenjegi: “‘Ligangla, yaye ligangla, osewuodhi oko, opiage kendo oyweye maler komil ka polo mondo oneki!
29 While they see falsehood unto thee, while they divine lies unto thee, to lay thee upon the necks of the wicked that are to be slain, whose day is come, in the time of the iniquity of the end!
Kata obedo ni osene fweny mag miriambo kuomi kendo osego gagi mag miriambo kuomi, to ibiro yieyogi e ngʼut, joma timbegi richo mibiro negi, joma odiechieng-gi ochopo kendo e kinde ma onego kumgie osechopo.
30 Cause it to return into its sheath! — In the place where thou wast created, in the land of thine origin, will I judge thee.
“‘Dwok ligangla e olalone. Kama ne onywolie, e lop kwereni, ema abiro ngʼadonie bura.
31 And I will pour out My indignation upon thee, I will blow upon thee with the fire of My wrath; and I will deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, skilful to destroy.
Abiro olo mirimba mager kuomi kendo abiro olo mirimba maliel ka mach kuomi; bende abiro e lwet jo-mahundu, ma gin joma olony e ketho gik moko.
32 Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land, thou shalt be no more remembered; for I the LORD have spoken it.'
Ubiro doko mafuta mimokogo mach rembu biro chwer e pinyu, ok nochak oparu kendo; nimar an Jehova Nyasaye ema asewacho kamano!’”
