Jeremia 11
1 Ma e wach mane obirone Jeremia koa ir Jehova Nyasaye:
The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, 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 unto 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 unto them, Thus hath said the Lord God of Israel, Cursed be the man that hearkeneth not to 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 on the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, Hearken to my voice, and do the same, in accordance with all which I may command you; and so shall ye be to me for a people, and I will be to you for a 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.”
In order that I may fulfill the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give unto them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. And I answered, and said, So be it, O Lord.
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.
Then said the Lord unto 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 warned your fathers on the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt even until this day, sending out early and warning, saying, Hearken to 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 hearkened not, and inclined not their ear, but walked every one in the stubbornness of their evil heart: therefore did I bring over them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but which they did not.
9 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachona, “Nitiere winjruok ma lingʼ-lingʼ e kind jo-Juda kod jogo modak Jerusalem.
And the Lord said unto me, A conspiracy hath been 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 are returned again to the iniquities of their earlier forefathers, who had refused to hearken to my words; and they themselves are [also] 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 hath said the Lord, Behold, I will bring an evil upon them, from which they shall not be able to rid themselves; and they will cry unto me, but I will not hearken unto them.
12 Mier mag Juda kod jo-Jerusalem nodhi kendo ywakne nyiseche manono ma giwangʼone ubani, to ok ginikonygi ngangʼ ka masira ochopo.
Then let the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense; but they shall not save them in the least in the time of their distress.
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 equal to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and equal to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to the disgraceful idol, altars, to burn incense unto Ba'al.
14 “Kik ilam ne jogi kata chiwonegi kwayo moro amora kata sayonegi, nikech ok anawinji ka gibiro ira e seche mag masira.
But thou—thou must not pray in behalf of this people, neither lift up in their behalf entreaty or prayer; for I will not hear at the time that they call unto me, because of their distress.
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 hath my beloved to do in my house, while she executeth the evil counsel of so many [sinners]? Yea, the holy flesh passeth away from thee; for even with thy wickedness, thou rejoicest still.
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.
An ever-green olive-tree, beautiful in fruit and form, did the Lord call thy name: with the noise of a great tumult hath he kindled fire around it, and they break off its branches.
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.
And the Lord of hosts, that planted thee, hath decreed evil against thee; on account of the wickedness of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves, to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Ba'al.
18 Nikech Jehova Nyasaye nohulona marach mane gichano timo, ne angʼeyo wachno, nimar e kindeno nosefwenyona gima negitimo.
And the Lord hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then didst thou let me see 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 sheep or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, [saying, ] “Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may not be remembered any more.”
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 Lord of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them; for unto thee have I entrusted my cause.
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 hath said the Lord concerning the men of 'Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, “Thou shalt not prophesy in the name of the Lord, that thou mayest 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 hath said the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will inflict punishment on them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by the famine;
23 Onge ngʼato kuomgi manodongʼ, nikech anakel masira ne jo-Anathoth e higa manokumgie.’”
And no remnant shall remain of them; for I will bring evil upon the men of 'Anathoth, in the year of their punishment.
