Ezekiel 33
1 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say to them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their borders, 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 when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he shall 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 whoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword shall 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 shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver 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 shall see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword shall come, and take [any] 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, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman to the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at 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 to the wicked, O wicked [man], thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak 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 Nevertheless, if thou shalt warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he shall 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 Therefore, O thou son of man, speak to the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins [are] upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then 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 to them, [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked should 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 Therefore, thou son of man, say to the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall by it in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his [righteousness] 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 shall say to the righteous, [that] he shall surely live; if he shall trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.
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 Again, when I say to the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he shall turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
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 shall restore the pledge, give again that which he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely 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 that he hath committed shall be mentioned to him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely 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 committeth iniquity, for that he shall even die.
Ka ngʼat makare olokore oweyo timbene mabeyo motimo richo, to obiro tho nikech timneno.
19 But if the wicked shall turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, for that he shall live.
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 ye 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], in the fifth [day] of the month, [that] one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came to 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 the LORD was upon me in the evening, before he that had escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came 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 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirana kama:
24 Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we [are] many; the land is given to us for inheritance.
“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 Wherefore say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes towards 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 neighbor'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 to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; [As] I live, surely they that [are] in the wastes 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 forts and in the caves shall die by 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 For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, 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 Then shall they know that I [am] the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate 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 Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against 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 the LORD.
“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 to thee as the people come, and they sit before thee [as] my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they show much love, [but] their heart goeth after their covetousness.
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 lo, thou [art] to them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do not perform them.
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, (lo, 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.”
