< Ezekiel 16 >
1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:
2 'Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations, and thou hast said:
“Wuod dhano, nyis Jerusalem timbene mamono duto e wangʼe,
3 Thus said the Lord Jehovah to Jerusalem: Thy birth and thy nativity [Are] of the land of the Canaanite, Thy father the Amorite, and thy mother a Hittite.
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 As to thy nativity, in the day thou wast born, Thou — thy navel hath not been cut, And in water thou wast not washed for ease, And thou hast not been salted at all, And thou hast not been swaddled at all.
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 hath had pity on thee, to do to thee any of these, To have compassion on thee, And thou art cast on the face of the field, With loathing of thy person. In the day thou hast been born — thou!
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 I do pass over by thee, And I see thee trodden down in thy blood, And I say to thee in thy blood, Live, And I say to thee in thy blood, Live.
“‘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 A myriad — as the shoot of the field I have made thee, And thou art multiplied, and art great, And comest in with an excellent adornment, Breasts have been formed, and thy hair hath grown — And thou, naked and bare!
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 pass over by thee, and I see thee, And lo, thy time [is] a time of loves, And I spread My skirt over thee, And I cover thy nakedness, And I swear to thee, and come in to a covenant with thee, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And thou dost become 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 do wash thee with water, And I wash away thy blood from off thee, And I anoint thee with perfume.
“‘Bangʼe ne aluoki gi pi kendo ne arudho remo mane omieni mi awiri gi mo.
10 And I clothe thee with embroidery, And I shoe thee with badger's skin, And I gird thee with fine linen, And I cover thee with figured silk.
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 And I adorn thee with adornments, And I give bracelets for thy hands, And a chain for thy neck.
Ne amiyi tigo ma nengogi tek kaka: Bangli e bedeni kod tigo ne aliero e ngʼuti,
12 And I give a ring for thy nose, And rings for thine ears, And a crown of beauty on 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 dost put on gold and silver, And thy clothing [is] fine linen, And figured silk and embroidery, Fine flour, and honey, and oil thou hast eaten, And thou art very very beautiful, And dost go prosperously to the kingdom.
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 go forth doth thy name among nations, Because of thy beauty — for it [is] complete, In My honour that I have set upon thee, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
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 And thou dost trust in thy beauty, And goest a-whoring because of thy renown, And dost pour out thy whoredoms On every passer by — to him it is.
“‘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 thou dost take of thy garments, And dost make to thee spotted high-places, And dost go a-whoring upon them, They are not coming in — nor shall it be!
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 dost take thy beauteous vessels Of My gold and My silver that I gave to thee, And dost make to thee images of a male, And dost go a-whoring with them,
Gik ma nengogi tek molos gi dhahabu gi fedha mane amiyi bende ne ikawo mi ilosogo nyisechegi machwo mondo ichodi.
18 And dost take the garments of thy embroidery, And thou dost cover them, And My oil and My perfume thou hast set before them.
Kendo ne ikawo lepi mogorie gik mabeyo mi irwakonegi kendo ne iketo moya gi ubanina e nyimgi.
19 And My bread, that I gave to thee, Fine flour, and oil, and honey, that I caused thee to eat. Thou hast even set it before them, For a sweet fragrance — thus it is, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
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 dost take thy sons and thy daughters Whom thou hast born to Me, And dost sacrifice them to them for food. Is it a little thing because of thy whoredoms,
“‘Bende ne ikawo yawuoti gi nyigi mane inywolona mi ichiwogi kaka misango ni nyisechegi. Timbegi mag chode ne ok oromi?
21 That thou dost slaughter My sons, And dost give them up in causing them to pass over to them?
Ne iyangʼo nyithinda kendo ichiwogi kaka misango ne nyiseche ma dhano oloso.
22 And with all thine abominations and thy whoredoms, Thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, When thou wast naked and bare, Trodden down in thy blood thou wast!
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 cometh to pass, after all thy wickedness, (Woe, woe, to thee — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah),
“‘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 dost build to thee an arch, And dost make to thee a high place in every broad place.
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 built thy high place, And thou dost make thy beauty abominable, And dost open wide thy feet to every passer by, And dost multiply thy whoredoms,
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 dost go a-whoring unto sons of Egypt, Thy neighbours — great of appetite! And thou dost multiply thy whoredoms, To provoke Me to anger.
Ne iterori gi jo-Misri, jo-libambani mane oowore ni chode, mine imedo miya mirima, nikech ringri ne omedo oowore ne terruok.
27 And lo, I have stretched out My hand against thee, And I diminish thy portion, And give thee to the desire of those hating thee, The daughters of the Philistines, Who 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 And thou goest a-whoring unto sons of Asshur, Without thy being satisfied, And thou dost go a-whoring with them, And also — thou hast not been satisfied.
Jo-Asuria bende ni iterorigo, nikech gombo mari nokalo konyo, kendo kata gin bende ne ok giromi.
29 And thou dost multiply thy whoredoms On the land of Canaan — toward Chaldea, And even with this thou hast not been satisfied.
Bangʼe, gomboni mandhaga ne oywayi mi iterori nyaka gi jo-Babulon, ma gin johala madongo, to kata gin bende ne ok giromi.
30 How weak [is] thy heart, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, In thy doing all these, The work of a domineering whorish woman.
“‘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 In thy building thine arch at the head of every way, Thy high place thou hast made in every broad place, And — hast not been as a whore deriding a gift.
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 The wife who committeth adultery — Under her husband — doth receive strangers.
“‘In dhako ma jachodeni! Igeno chwo mamoko moloyo chwori iwuon!
33 To all whores they give a gift, And — thou hast given thy gifts to all thy lovers, And dost bribe them to come in unto thee, From round about — in thy whoredoms.
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 the contrary is in thee from women in thy whoredoms, That after thee none doth go a-whoring; And in thy giving a gift, And a gift hath not been given to thee; And thou art become contrary.
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 whore, hear a word of Jehovah,
“‘Kuom mano, in ochot, winj wach Jehova Nyasaye!
36 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of thy brass being poured forth, And thy nakedness is revealed in thy whoredoms near thy lovers, And near all the idols of thy abominations, And according to the blood of thy sons, Whom thou hast given to 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 Therefore, lo, I am assembling all thy lovers, To whom thou hast been sweet, And all whom thou hast loved, Besides all whom thou hast hated; And I have assembled them by thee round about, And have revealed thy nakedness to them, And they have seen 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 have judged thee — judgments of adulteresses, And of women shedding blood, And have given thee blood, 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 have given thee into their hand, And they have thrown down thine arch, And they have broken down thy high places, And they have stript thee of thy garments, And they have taken thy beauteous vessels, And they have left thee naked and bare.
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 have caused an assembly to come up against thee, And stoned thee with stones, And thrust thee through with their swords,
Gibiro chokoni jo-jendeke mi gichielgi gi kite kendo gibiro tongʼi matindo tindo gi liganglagi.
41 And burnt thy houses with fire, And done in thee judgments before the eyes of many women, And I have caused thee to cease from going a-whoring, And also a gift thou givest no more.
Gibiro wangʼo uteni kendo gibiro kumi e nyim mon mangʼeny. Abiro tieko timbegi mag chode kendo ok inichak ichul joherani.
42 And I have caused My fury against thee to rest, And My jealousy hath turned aside from thee, And I have been quiet, and I am not angry any 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, And dost give trouble to Me in all these, Lo, even I also thy way at first gave up, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And I did not this thought for all thine 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 Lo, every one using a simile, Doth use a simile concerning thee, saying: As the mother — her daughter!
“‘Ngero migoyo e piny Israel ni, “Nyako okawo kit min, nowach kuomi.”
45 Thy mother's daughter thou [art], Loathing her husband and her sons, And thy sisters' sister thou [art], Who loathed their husbands and their sons, Your mother [is] a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
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 thine elder sister [is] Samaria, she and her daughters, Who is dwelling at thy left hand, And thy younger sister, who is dwelling on 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 And — in their ways thou hast not walked, And according to their abominations done, As a little thing it hath been loathed, And thou dost more corruptly 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 I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Sodom thy sister hath not done — she and her daughters — As thou hast done — thou 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 Lo, this hath been the iniquity of Sodom thy sister, Arrogancy, fulness of bread, and quiet ease, Have been to her and to her daughters, And the hand of the afflicted and needy She hath not strengthened.
“‘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 are haughty and do abomination before Me, And I turn them aside when I have seen.
Ne gin jongʼayi kendo negitimo gik mamono e nyima. Emomiyo ne ariembogi e nyima kaka useneno atimoni.
51 As to Samaria, as the half of thy sins — she hath not sinned, And thou dost multiply thine abominations more than they, And dost justify thy sisters by all thy abominations that 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 Thou also — bear thy shame, That thou hast adjudged to thy sisters, Because of thy sins that thou hast done more abominably than they, They are more righteous than thou, And thou, also, be ashamed and bear thy shame, In thy justifying 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 have turned back [to] their captivity, The captivity of Sodom and her daughters, And the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, And the captivity of thy captives in their midst,
“‘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 So that thou dost bear thy shame, And hast been ashamed of all that thou hast done, In thy comforting them.
mondo itingʼ achaya mari kendo ine wichkuot kuom gik moko duto misetimo kuom miyogi hoch.
55 And thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, Do turn back to their former state, And Samaria and her daughters Do turn back to their former state, And thou and thy daughters do turn back to your former 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 thy sister Sodom hath not been for a report in thy mouth, In the day of thine arrogancy,
Ne ok inyal kata luongo nying nyameru ma Sodom gi nyinge e kinde mane sunga omaki,
57 Before thy wickedness is revealed, As [at] the time of the reproach of the daughters of Aram, And of all her neighbours, the daughters of the Philistines, Who are despising thee round about.
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 Thy devices and thine abominations, Thou hast borne them, an affirmation of Jehovah.
Ibiro tingʼo chandruok duto mosebironi nikech timbeni mamono kendo nikech timbeni moyombore, Jehova Nyasaye osewacho.
59 For thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have dealt with thee as thou hast done, In that thou hast despised an oath — to break 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 — I have remembered My covenant with thee, In the days of thy youth, And I have established for thee a covenant age-during.
Kata kamano, pod abiro paro singruok mane atimo kodi kane pod itin, kendo abiro guro singruok mosiko kodi.
61 And thou hast remembered thy ways, And thou hast been ashamed, In thy receiving thy sisters — Thine elder with thy younger, And I have given them to thee for daughters, And 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 — I have established My covenant with thee, And thou hast known that I [am] Jehovah.
Omiyo abiro guro singruok mara kodi, kendo ibiro ngʼeyo ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.
63 So that thou dost remember, And thou hast been ashamed, And there is not to thee any more an opening of the mouth because of thy shame, In My receiving atonement for thee, For all that thou hast done, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'
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.’”
