< Jeremia 11 >

1 Ma e wach mane obirone Jeremia koa ir Jehova Nyasaye:
The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
2 “Chik iti ne chike mag singruokni kendo inyis jo-Juda kod mago modak Jerusalem.
Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
3 Nyisgi ni ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, wacho: ‘Okwongʼ ngʼatno ma ok oluoro gima singruokni dwaro,
and say thou to them, Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel: Cursed be the man who does not hear the words of this covenant,
4 chike mane amiyo kwereu kane agologi Misri, e kendo maliet makakni mach.’ Ne awacho ni, ‘Luora kendo itim gigo duto machikou to unubed joga, an bende nabed Nyasachu.
which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you, so ye shall be my people, and I will be your God,
5 Bangʼe anachop singo mane asingone kwereu, mar miyogi piny mopongʼ gi chak kod mor kich’ ma en piny mauntiere kawuono.” Ne adwoko Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Amin.”
that I may establish the oath which I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day. Then I answered, and said, Truly, O Jehovah.
6 Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Go milome mar wechegi duto e mier mag Juda kod jogo manie yore mag Jerusalem: ‘Chikuru itu ne chike mag singruokni kendo ulugi.
And Jehovah said to me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them.
7 Kochakore kinde mane akelo kwereu koa Misri nyaka kawuono, ne asiemogi nyadingʼeny, ka awacho niya, “Luorauru.”
For I earnestly protested to your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.
8 To ne ok gichiko itgi kata winja; kuom mano, negiluwo mana timbegi mag jendeke mag chunjegi maricho. Omiyo nakelo kuomgi kwongʼ duto mag singruok mane achikogi mondo gilu to ne ok girito.’”
Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked each one in the stubbornness of his evil heart. Therefore I brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did them not.
9 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachona, “Nitiere winjruok ma lingʼ-lingʼ e kind jo-Juda kod jogo modak Jerusalem.
And Jehovah said to me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
10 Gisedok e richo mag kweregi, mane otamore winjo wechega. Giseluwo bangʼ nyiseche manono mondo gitinegi. Od Israel gi od Juda giduto oseketho singruok mane atimo gi kweregi.
They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words, and they have gone after other gods to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
11 Emomiyo ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: ‘Anakelnegi masira ma ok ginyal tonye. Kata bed ni giywakna, ok anawinjgi.
Therefore thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape. And they shall cry to me, but I will not hearken to them.
12 Mier mag Juda kod jo-Jerusalem nodhi kendo ywakne nyiseche manono ma giwangʼone ubani, to ok ginikonygi ngangʼ ka masira ochopo.
Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall go and cry to the gods to which they offer incense, but they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
13 Un gi nyiseche manono mangʼeny mana kaka dalau, yaye Juda; bende kendo mar misango museiko mudwaro wangʼone nyasaye manono mar wichkuot miluongo ni Baal ngʼeny mana ka yore mag Jerusalem.’
For according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah, and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem ye have set up altars to the shameful thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal.
14 “Kik ilam ne jogi kata chiwonegi kwayo moro amora kata sayonegi, nikech ok anawinji ka gibiro ira e seche mag masira.
Therefore do not pray thou for this people, nor lift up cry nor prayer for them, for I will not hear them in the time that they cry to me because of their trouble.
15 “Angʼo ma jaherana timo e hekalu mara kochano timbe mamono gi ji mathoth? Bende ringʼo mowal tenge nyalo loko kum mari? Seche mitimo timbe marichogo, ema inie gi mor.”
What has my beloved to do in my house, seeing she has wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh has passed from thee? When thou do evil, then thou rejoice.
16 Jehova Nyasaye noluongi ni yadh zeituni madongo maber man-gi olemo moolo maber. To mor matek mar yamb auka enowangʼe ka mach, kendo bedene notur.
Jehovah called thy name, A green olive tree, fair with goodly fruit. With the noise of a great tumult he has kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.
17 Jehova Nyasaye Maratego mane opidhou kaka yath osegolo chik mondo unwangʼ masira, nikech od Israel kod od Juda osetimo maricho kendo gisechwanya ma iya owangʼ kuom wangʼo ubani ne Baal.
For Jehovah of hosts, who planted thee, has pronounced evil against thee because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have wrought for themselves in provoking me to anger by offering incense to Baal.
18 Nikech Jehova Nyasaye nohulona marach mane gichano timo, ne angʼeyo wachno, nimar e kindeno nosefwenyona gima negitimo.
And Jehovah gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it. Then thou showed me their doings.
19 Asebedo kaka nyarombo mamuol mitero kar yengʼo; ne ok afwenyo nine gisechano timona marach, kagiwacho niya, “Watiek yath kaachiel gi olembene; wagole oko oaye piny joma ngima, mondo nyinge kik par kendo.”
But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter. And I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit of it. And let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may no more be remembered.
20 To, yaye Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, in ma ingʼado bura gi ratiro kendo pimo chuny kod paro, yie ane mirimbi kuom jogi, nimar in ema aseketoni kwayona.
But, O Jehovah of hosts, who judges righteously, who tries the heart and the mind, I shall see thy vengeance on them, for to thee I have revealed my case.
21 “Emomiyo ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho kuom jo-Anathoth madwaro ngimani, ‘Kik ikor e nying Jehova Nyasaye ka ok kamano to ibiro tho e lwetwa.’
Therefore thus says Jehovah concerning the men of Anathoth, who seek thy life, saying, Thou shall not prophesy in the name of Jehovah, that thou not die by our hand.
22 Kuom mano Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho ni, ‘Anakumgi. Rowere mag-gi noneg gi ligangla, yawuotgi kod nyigi kech nonegi.
Therefore thus says Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I will punish them. The young men shall die by the sword. Their sons and their daughters shall die by famine,
23 Onge ngʼato kuomgi manodongʼ, nikech anakel masira ne jo-Anathoth e higa manokumgie.’”
and there shall be no remnant to them. For I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.
