< Jeremia 12 >
1 In kare kinde duto, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, sa moro amora makelo bucha e nyimi. To kata kamano we mondo awuoye kodi kuom ngʼado bura mari makare: Ere gima omiyo yore mag joma timbegi mono dhi maber? Angʼo momiyo jogo maonge yie odak maber?
O Lord, if I dispute with thee, thou art righteous: yet let mee talke with thee of thy iudgements: wherefore doeth the way of the wicked prosper? why are all they in wealth that rebelliously transgresse?
2 Isepidhogi, kendo tiendegi osenyaa; gidongo kendo ginywolo olemo. Wechegi osiko e dhogi kinde duto to chunygi bor kodi.
Thou hast planted them, and they haue taken roote: they grow, and bring forth fruite: thou art neere in their mouth, and farre from their reines.
3 Kata kamano ingʼeya, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; inena kendo ipimo pacha kaka aparo kuomi. Ywagi tenge kaka rombo mitero kar yengʼo! Ketgi tenge ne odiechieng yengʼo!
But thou, Lord, knowest me: thou hast seene me, and tried mine heart towarde thee: pull them out like sheepe for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
4 Nyaka karangʼo ma piny biro siko kotwo kendo lum motwi e lege ner? Nikech joma odak e iye timbegi mono, le kod winy osetho. Kata kamano, jogo wacho, “Ok none gima timorenwa.”
Howe long shall the lande mourne, and the herbes of euery fielde wither, for the wickednesse of them that dwell therein? the beastes are consumed and the birdes, because they sayd, He wil not see our last ende.
5 Ka isepiem gi jogo mawuotho gi tielo ma gioli, to ere kaka inyalo piem gi farese? Ka ichwanyori e piny man-gi kwe, ere kaka inyalo wuotho e bungu man Jordan?
If thou hast runne with the footemen and they haue wearied thee, then howe canst thou match thy selfe with horses? and if thou thoughtest thy selfe safe in a peaceable lande, what wilt thou do in the swelling of Iorden?
6 Oweteni ma jo-dalau bende osendhogi; kendo gisegolo ywak maduongʼ ka gikwedi. Kik igen kuomgi, kata obedo ni giwuoyo maber kuomi.
For euen thy brethren, and the house of thy father, euen they haue delt vnfaithfully with thee, and they haue cryed out altogether vpon thee: but beleeue them not, though they speake faire to thee.
7 “Anajwangʼ oda, anabol girkeni maga; anachiw ngʼatno mahero e lwet wasike.
I haue forsaken mine house: I haue left mine heritage: I haue giuen the dearely beloued of my soule into the hands of her enemies.
8 Girkeni osebedona ka sibuor manie bungu. Orutona; omiyo amon kode.
Mine heritage is vnto mee, as a lion in the forest: it crieth out against mee, therefore haue I hated it.
9 Donge girkeni maga osebedona ka kweth mag achudhe, ma achudhe mamoko lworo mondo okedgo? Dhi kendo ichok le mag bungu duto; kelgi mondo gikidh joga.
Shall mine heritage bee vnto mee, as a bird of diuers colours? are not the birdes about her, saying, Come, assemble all ye beastes of the fielde, come to eate her?
10 Jokwath mangʼeny biro ketho puotha mar mzabibu kendo ginyon puotha; gibiro loko puotha mamiyo bedo puodho motwo mojwangʼ.
Many pastors haue destroyed my vineyarde, and troden my portion vnder foote: of my pleasant portion they haue made a desolate wildernesse.
11 Enobed puodho mojwangʼ, motwo, kendo machalo gunda e nyima; pinyno duto noyugno nikech onge ngʼama dewe.
They haue layde it waste, and it, being waste, mourneth vnto me: and the whole lande lyeth waste, because no man setteth his minde on it.
12 Kuonde duto mag ongoro motingʼore gi malo mantiere kama otwo, joketho nopongʼ, nimar ligangla Jehova Nyasaye notiekgi, koa e tungʼ piny konchiel nyaka komachielo; maonge ngʼama notony.
The destroyers are come vpon all the high places in the wildernesse: for the sworde of the Lord shall deuoure from the one end of the land, euen to the other ende of the lande: no flesh shall haue peace.
13 Ginipidh ngano makmana ginikaa kuthe; gini nyagre gi tich to onge ohala ma giniyudi. Omiyo yuduru wichkuot mar keyo maru nikech mirimb Jehova Nyasaye mager.”
They haue sowen wheate, and reaped thornes: they were sicke, and had no profite: and they were ashamed of your fruites, because of the fierce wrath of the Lord.
14 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “To ne jobatha duto ma timbegi mono mamayo joga Israel girkeni mane amiyogi, anapudhgi e pinjegi kendo anagol od Juda e diergi.
Thus sayeth the Lord against all mine euill neighbours, that touch the inheritance, which I haue caused my people Israel to inherite, Beholde, I will plucke them out of their lande, and plucke out the house of Iudah from among them.
15 To bangʼ ka asegologi, anakechgi kendo, bende anaduog moro ka moro ir girkeni mare owuon kod pinye owuon.
And after that I haue plucked them out, I will returne, and haue compassion on them, and will bring againe euery man to his heritage, and euery man to his land.
16 Kendo ka gipuonjore maber yore mag joga kendo gikwongʼore gi nyinga, kagiwacho ni, ‘Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima,’ mana kaka negipuonjo joga mondo okwongʼre ne Baal, eka gibiro dak e dier joga.
And if they will learne the wayes of my people, to sweare by my Name, (The Lord liueth, as they taught my people to sweare by Baal) then shall they be built in the middes of my people.
17 To ka oganda moro amora ok dwar chiko ite, to anapudhe chuth mi atieke,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.
But if they will not obey, then will I vtterly plucke vp, and destroy that nation, sayeth the Lord.
