< Ezekiel 23 >

1 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
2 “Son of man, there were two women, daughters of the same mother.
“Wuod dhano, ne nitie mon ariyo mane nyi dhako achiel.
3 They acted as prostitutes in Egypt in the time of their youth. They acted as prostitutes there. Their breasts were squeezed and their virgin nipples were fondled there.
Negilokore ochode e piny Misri, kendo negichako chodo kapod gin nyiri matindo. Thundegi ne omul kendo ringregi mane pod silili ne odwany e pinyno.
4 Their names were Oholah—the older sister—and Oholibah—her younger sister. Then they became mine and bore sons and daughters. Their names mean this: Oholah means Samaria, and Oholibah means Jerusalem.
Nyako maduongʼ ne nyinge Ohola, to nyamingi ne en Oholiba. Ne gin joga kendo neginywolo yawuowi gi nyiri. Ohola en Samaria to Oholiba en Jerusalem.
5 But Oholah acted as a prostitute even when she was mine; she lusted for her lovers, for the Assyrians who were dominant,
“Ohola nohore gi timbe mag chode kane pod en mara; kendo ne en gombo mar chode mathoth gi joherane ma jolweny mag Asuria;
6 the governor who wore blue, and for his officials, who were strong and handsome, all of them men riding on horses.
mane rwako lewni marambulu gi jotendgi kod jotend jolweny, ma giduto ne gin yawuowi matindo mabeyo moidho farese.
7 So she gave herself as a prostitute to them, to all the best of Assyria's men, and she made herself unclean with everyone she lusted for—and with all their idols.
Nochiwore kaka ochot ne jo-Asuria duto mosomo kendo ne odwanyore gi nyiseche manono duto mag ngʼato angʼata mane chunye gombo.
8 For she had not left her prostitute behavior behind in Egypt, when they had slept with her when she had been a young girl, when they first began to fondle her virgin breasts, when they first began to pour out their promiscuous behavior on her.
Ne ok oweyo ngima mar chode mane ochako kapod en Misri, kuma ne chwo teroree kode kane pod otin, kendo nodwanyo ringrene mane pod silili, kendo nochopo gombo duto mag ringregi kuome.
9 Therefore I gave her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians for whom she lusted.
“Kuom mano, ne aweye e lwet chotnego, mane gin jo-Asuria, ma gombone noketee.
10 They uncovered her nakedness, took her sons and daughters, killed her with the sword, and she became notorious among other women, so they executed judgment on her.
Ne gilonye duk, negikawo yawuote gi nyige gidhigo, kendo neginege gi ligangla. Nolokre ngero e kind mon wetene, kendo nonwangʼo kum mowinjore kode.
11 Her sister Oholibah saw this, but she lusted even more passionately and acted like a prostitute even more than her sister.
“Nyamin mare ma Oholiba kata obedo ni noneno gik mane otimore ni nyamin, to gombone gi chode mare nomedore mi nokethore moloyo nyamin.
12 She lusted for the Assyrians, the governors and the dominating officials who dressed impressively, who were men riding horses. All of them were strong, handsome men.
En bende nohewo jo-Asuria gi gombo; kaachiel gi jotendgi, jolweny momanore gi gige kedo, kendo moidho farese; giduto en gin yawuowi maber neno.
13 I saw that she had made herself unclean. It was the same for both sisters.
Ne aneno kaka en bende nodwanyore; giduto kargi nyiri ariyo negiluwo yo machalre.
14 Then she increased her prostitution even more. She saw men carved on walls, figures of Chaldeans painted in red,
“To en chodene noyombore. Kane oneno pichni mag joma chwo mogur e kor ot, ma gin pichni mag jo-Kaldea mogor makwar,
15 wearing belts around their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads. All of them had the appearance of officers of chariot troops, the likeness of sons of Babylonia, whose native land is Chaldea.
kotweyo kamba madongo e nungogi kendo korwako kilemba mabeyo e wigi; ka giduto gichalo jotend farese lweny maywayo geche mag, jo-Babulon modak Kaldea.
16 As soon as her eyes saw them, she lusted for them, so she sent out messengers to them in Chaldea.
Kane onenogi anena nii to nogombogi matek mooro joote irgi nyaka Kaldea.
17 Then the Babylonians came to her and to her bed of lust, and they made her unclean with their promiscuousness. By what she had done she was made unclean, so she turned herself away from them in disgust.
Bangʼ mano jo-Babulon nobirone, modhi kode nyaka e kitanda mar chode, kendo ne gidwanye ka gipongʼ gi gombo. Kane jogo osedwanye kamano to ne olokore oweyogi kopongʼ gi mirima.
18 When she displayed her acts of prostitution and uncovered her nakedness, I turned away from her, just as I had turned away in disgust from her sister.
Kane odhi nyime kochodo gi wangʼ teko kendo koelo duge ne chwo, ne alokora aweye ka apongʼ gi mirima, mana kaka ne alokora aweyo nyamin.
19 Then she increased her prostitution as she remembered the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in the land of Egypt.
To kaka nomedo paro ndalo mane otin, kinde mane en ochot e piny Misri, e kaka nomedo donjo matut e chode.
20 So she lusted for her lovers, whose private parts were like those of donkeys, and whose reproductive emissions were like those of horses.
Kinde mane en Misri nogombo joma ne timo kode hera, joma duongʼ-gi ne chalo gi mar punda, kendo ma nyodo mane gigolo ne chalo mar faras.
21 This is how you committed shameful acts of your youth, when the Egyptians fondled your nipples and squeezed your young breasts.
Omiyo ne in-gi gombo mar chode kane pod in nyako matin e kinde mane in Misri, kane chwo mulo dendi kendo rucho thundeni ma pod tindo.
22 Therefore, Oholibah, the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold! I will turn your lovers against you. Those from whom you turned away, I will bring them against you from every side:
“Kuom mano, Oholiba, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Abiro wako joherani mondo oked kodi, jogo mane ilokori iweyo ka iyi owangʼ, kendo abiro kelogi mondo giked kodi ka gia koni gi koni;
23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them, strong, handsome men, governors and commanders, all of them are officers and men of reputation, all of them riding on horses.
ma gin jo-Babulon, gi jo-Kaldea, chwo duto moa Pekod gi Shoa kod Koa, kaachiel gi jo-Asuria duto kodgi; yawuowi maber neno, ma giduto gin jotelo, jotend jolweny, gi joriemb farese, kod jotelo madongo, ka giduto giidho farese.
24 They will come against you with weapons, and with chariots and wagons, and with a great crowd of people. They will set large shields, small shields, and helmets against you all around. I will give them the opportunity to punish you, and they will punish you with their actions.
Gibiro bironi gi gig lweny, gi farese maywayo geche to gi oganda maratipo; gibiro kawo ruothegi mondo giked kodi ka gilwori giketi diere, ka gitingʼo kuodi madongo gi matindo, kendo ka girwako ogute mag lweny. Abiro chiwi e lwetgi mondo okumi, kendo gibiro kumi kaluwore gi chikgi giwegi.
25 For I will set my jealous anger on you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will cut off your noses and your ears, and your survivors will fall by the sword. They will take away your sons and your daughters, and your survivors will be devoured by fire.
Abiro chomi tir gi mirimba mopongʼ gi nyiego kendo gibiro tiyi gi mirima mapek. Gibiro ngʼado umi gi iti oko, to joma notony e lwetgi nopodhi e dho ligangla. Gibiro kawo yawuoti gi nyigi gidhigo, to jogo kuomu ma notony mach nowangʼ.
26 They will strip you of your clothes and take away all of your jewelry.
Bende gibiro lonyi duk mi gikaw gik milichorigo ma nengogi tek mi gidhigo.
27 So I will remove your shameful behavior from you and your acts of prostitution from the land of Egypt. You will not lift up your eyes toward them with longing, and you will think of Egypt no longer.'
Kamano e kaka anatiek timbeni mag chode mane ichako kane pod in Misri. Ok inichak igomb dok e timbenigo, Misri bende ok inichak ipar kendo.
28 For the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold! I will give you into the hand of the ones you hate, back into the hand of the ones from whom you had turned away.
“Nikech ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Achiegni chiwi e lwet joma ichayo, kendo e lwet jomane ilokori iweyo ka in-gi mirima.
29 They will deal with you hatefully; they will take all your possessions and abandon you naked and bare, and your nakedness will be uncovered just as when you engaged in promiscuity and prostitutions.
Ginibed mamon kodi kendo gibiro kawo gimoro amora ma isetiyone e ngimani duto. Gibiro weyi duk nono li, kendo wichkuot mar chodeni ibiro el e lela.
30 These things will be done to you in your acting like a prostitute, lusting after nations by which you became unclean with their idols.
Gomboni mar chode ema osekeloni chandruokni, nikech ne ihawo ogendini mamoko gi gombo, kendo nikech ne idwanyori gi nyisechegi manono.
31 You have walked in the way of your sister, so I will put her cup of punishment into your hand.'
Iseluwo yor nyameru; emomiyo abiro keto kikombene e lweti.
32 The Lord Yahweh says this, 'You will drink your sister's cup that is deep and large. You will become a laughingstock and a subject for derision—this cup contains a great amount.
“Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: “Ibiro madho kikombe mar nyaminu, kikombe moyarore kendo matut; en kikombe mabiro keloni achaya gi wichkuot nikech otingʼo gik mangʼeny.
33 You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, the cup of horror and devastation; the cup of your sister Samaria.
En kikombe mar mer kod kuyo, machalo mana gi kikombe mar masira kod kethruok, ma Samaria nyaminu nomethoe.
34 You will drink it and drain it empty; then you will shatter it and tear your breasts with the pieces. For I have declared it—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'
Ibiro madhe mi ilungʼe pep; ibiro goye piny motere matindo tindo, kendo obiro yiecho thundeni. Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ema osewacho kamano.
35 Therefore, the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Because you have forgotten me and thrown me away behind your back, so also you will bear the consequences of your shameful behavior and acts of sexual immorality.'”
“Emomiyo ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Nikech wiu osewil koda kendo usejwangʼa, koro nyaka uyud pok maromre gi timbeu mag chode.”
36 Yahweh said to me, “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? So present to them their disgusting actions,
Jehova Nyasaye nowachona kama: “Wuod dhano, donge inyalo ngʼado bura ni Ohola gi Oholiba? Ka inyalo timo kamano to chomgi tir gi timbegi mamonogo,
37 since they have committed adultery, and since there is blood on their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols, and they have even caused their sons to pass through the fire, as food for their idols.
nikech giseterore kendo remo ni e lwetgi. Negiterore gi nyisechegi manono; ne gichiwonegi koda ka nyithindgi mane ginywolona, kaka chiembgi.
38 Then they continue to do this to me: They make my sanctuary unclean, and on the same day they defile my Sabbaths.
Gimachielo magisetimona ema: Gisedwanyo kara maler mar lemo kendo giseketho Sabato maga e odiechiengʼ achiel machalre.
39 For when they had slaughtered their children for their idols, then they came to my sanctuary on the same day to defile it! So behold! This is what they have done in the middle of my house.
E odiechiengʼ nogono mane gichiwe nyithindgi kaka misango ni nyisechegi manono, ema negidonjoe e kara maler mar lemo mi gidwanye. Mano e gima negitimo e oda.
40 You sent out for men who came from far away, to whom messengers had been sent—now behold. They indeed came, those for whom you bathed, painted your eyes, and adorned yourself with jewelry.
“Bende negioro joote mondo odhi oluong chwo moa e piny mabor mi jogo nobiro. Eka mon ariyogo noluokore mi owiro wangʼ-gi kendo olichore gi gik ma nengogi tek.
41 There you sat on a beautiful bed and at a table arranged before it where you placed my incense and my oil.
Negibedo e kom molos maber kendo mayom, gi mesa mopedhi maber kama nuketoe ubani mangʼwe ngʼar kaachiel gi modhi mangʼwe ngʼar mane onego bed mara.
42 So the sound of a noisy crowd was around her; including all kinds of men, even Sabeans were brought in from the wilderness, and they put bracelets on their hands and beautiful crowns on their heads.
“Bangʼe mahu mar oganda ma ok dew gimoro nowinjo; ne gin jo-Sebea moa e thim kaachiel gi joma chwo mojwangʼore. Ne girwakonegi bangli kendo ne gitweyonegi otembini mabeyo e wigi.
43 Then I said of her who was worn out by adultery, 'Now they will be sexually immoral with her, and she with them.'
Eka ne awacho kuom ngʼat mane timbe chode osenurono ni, ‘Koro we giti kode kaka ochot, nikech mano e gima en.’
44 They went in to her and slept with her as men go in to be with a prostitute. In this way they slept with Oholah and Oholibah, who were immoral women.
Kendo negiterore kode. Mana kaka chwo terore gi ochode e kaka negiterore gi mon mokethorego, ma gin Ohola gi Oholiba.
45 But righteous men will pass judgment and punish them as adulteresses, and they will punish them with the sentence for those who shed blood, because they are adulteresses and blood is on their hands.
Joma kare nokwed mon-go kuom timbegi mag terruok kod chwero remo, nikech terruok kod chwero remo ni e lwetgi.
46 So the Lord Yahweh says this: I will raise up a company against them and give them up to be terrorized and plundered.
“Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Kel oganda mar jo-mahundu mondo omonj-gi kendo oyakgi.
47 Then that company will stone them with stones and cut them down with their swords. They will kill their sons and daughters and burn down their houses.
Ogandago biro chielogi gi kite kendo gibiro negogi gi ligangla mag-gi; gibiro nego yawuotgi gi nyigi, kendo gibiro wangʼo utegi.
48 For I will remove shameful behavior from the land and discipline all the women so they will no longer act like prostitutes.
“Omiyo mano e kaka abiro tieko timbe mag chode e pinyno, mondo obed siem ni mon duto kik terre kaka mon ariyogo osetimo.
49 So they will set your shameful behavior against you. You will bear the guilt of your sins with your idols, and in this way you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.”
Ibiro yudo kum kuom kethruok mari kendo ibiro tingʼo chandruok ma richoni mar lamo nyiseche manono okeloni. Eka iningʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto.”
