Ezekiel 18

1 'And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:

Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kama:

2 'What — to you, ye — using this simile Concerning the ground of Israel, saying: Fathers do eat unripe fruit, And the sons' teeth are blunted?

“Bende isewinjo ngero ma ji osiko kawacho e piny Israel niya, “‘Wuone osechamo olemo manumu, to nyithindo ema lekegi tho?’

3 I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Ye have no more the use of this simile in Israel.

“Akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon an Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ni ok unuchak ugo ngeroni e piny Israel.

4 Lo, all the souls are Mine, As the soul of the father, So also the soul of the son — they are Mine, The soul that is sinning — it doth die.

Nikech ji duto mangima gin maga, wuoro kaachiel gi wuowi, giduto machalre. Ngʼato ka ngʼato biro tho mana nikech richone owuon.

5 And a man, when he is righteous, And hath done judgment and righteousness,

“Kaponi nitie ngʼat moro makare moluwo adiera kendo timo gima kare.

6 On the mountains he hath not eaten, And his eyes he hath not lifted up Unto idols of the house of Israel, And the wife of his neighbour defiled not, And to a separated woman cometh not near,

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 A man — he doth not oppress, His pledge to the debtor he doth return, Plunder he doth not take away, His bread to the hungry he doth give, And the naked doth cover 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 In usury he doth not give, and increase taketh not, From perversity he turneth back his hand, True judgment he doth between 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 In My statutes he doth walk, And My judgments he hath kept — to deal truly, Righteous [is] he, he surely liveth, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

Oluwo buchena, kendo orito chikena gadiera. Ngʼat ma kamano en ngʼat makare, omiyo enobed mangima adier, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto owacho.

10 And — he hath begotten a son, A burglar — a shedder of blood, And he hath made a brother of one of these,

“Kapo ni en gi wuowi mohero lweny, kata mohero chwero remo kata matimo achiel kuom gigi

11 And he all those hath not done, For even on the mountains he hath eaten, And the wife of his neighbour he hath defiled,

mane wuon mare ne ok otimo kaka: “Ochiemo ewi gode milame nyiseche mamoko. Odwanyore gi chi nyawadgi.

12 The afflicted and needy he hath oppressed, Plunder he hath taken violently away, A pledge he doth not return, And unto the idols he hath lifted up his eyes, Abomination he hath done!

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 In usury he hath given, and increase taken, And he liveth: he doth not live, All these abominations he hath done, He doth surely die, his blood is on 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 And — lo, he hath begotten a son, And he seeth all the sins of his father, That he hath done, and he feareth, And doth not do like them,

“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 On the mountains he hath not eaten, And his eyes he hath not lifted up Unto idols of the house of Israel, The wife of his neighbour he hath not defiled,

“Ok ochiem e gode milame nyiseche mamoko kata rango nyiseche mag dhood Israel. Ok odwanyre gi chi nyawadgi

16 A man — he hath not oppressed, A pledge he hath not bound, And plunder he hath not taken away, His bread to the hungry he hath given, And the naked he covered 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 From the afflicted he hath turned back his hand, Usury and increase he hath not taken, My judgments he hath done, In My statutes he hath walked, He doth not die for the iniquity of his father, He doth surely live.

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 used oppression, Did violently Plunder a brother, And that which [is] not good did in the midst of his people, And lo, he is dying in his iniquity.

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 And ye have said, Wherefore hath not the son, Borne of the iniquity of the father? And — the son judgment and righteousness hath done, All My statutes he hath kept, And he doeth them, he surely liveth.

“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 soul that doth sin — it doth die. A son doth not bear of the iniquity of the father, And a father doth not bear of the iniquity of the son, The righteousness of the righteous is on him, And the wickedness of the wicked is on him.

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 And the wicked — when he turneth back From all his sins that he hath done, And he hath kept all My statutes, And hath done judgment and righteousness, He doth surely live, he doth 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 done Are not remembered to him, In his righteousness that he hath done he liveth.

Ok nokwane jaketho kuom richo duto mosetimo. Nikech gik makare mosetimo, obiro bedo mangima.

23 Do I at all desire the death of the wicked? An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Is it not in his turning back from his way — And he hath lived?

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 And in the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he hath done perversity, According to all the abominations That the wicked hath done, he doth — thus he liveth, All his righteousnesses that he hath done are not remembered, For his trespass that he hath trespassed, And for his sin that he hath sinned, For them he doth 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 And ye have said, Not pondered is the way of the Lord. Hear, I pray you, O house of Israel, My way — is it not pondered? Are not your ways unpondered?

“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 In the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he hath done perversity, And he is dying by them, for his perversity That he hath done he dieth.

Ka ngʼama kare olokore oweyo timbene makare mi otimo richo to timneno ema biro nege. Obiro tho nikech richo mosetimono.

27 And in the turning back of the wicked From his wickedness that he hath done, And he doth judgment and righteousness, He his soul doth keep alive.

To ka ngʼat ma timbene richo olokore oweyo timbene maricho mosetimo, mi otimo tim makare kendo adier, to ok obi otho.

28 And he seeth and turneth back, From all his transgressions that he hath done, He doth surely live, he doth not die,

Nikech oparo ketho duto moseketho kendo olokore owegi, obiro bedo mangima kuom adier; ok obi tho.

29 And the house of Israel have said, Not pondered is the way of the Lord, My ways — are they not pondered? O house of Israel — are not your ways unpondered?

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, each according to his ways I judge you, O house of Israel? An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Turn ye back, yea, turn yourselves back, From all your transgressions, And iniquity is not to you for a stumbling-block,

“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 from off you all your transgressions, By which ye have transgressed, And make to you a new heart, and a new spirit, And why do 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 have no pleasure in the death of the dying, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And turn ye back and live!

Nikech ok en morna ka ngʼato tho, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ema owacho. Weuru timo richo mondo ubed mangima!
