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?
RIGHTEOUS art thou, O Lord, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously?
2 Isepidhogi, kendo tiendegi osenyaa; gidongo kendo ginywolo olemo. Wechegi osiko e dhogi kinde duto to chunygi bor kodi.
Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins.
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, O Lord, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep 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.”
How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end.
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 run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?
6 Oweteni ma jo-dalau bende osendhogi; kendo gisegolo ywak maduongʼ ka gikwedi. Kik igen kuomgi, kata obedo ni giwuoyo maber kuomi.
For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee.
7 “Anajwangʼ oda, anabol girkeni maga; anachiw ngʼatno mahero e lwet wasike.
I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
8 Girkeni osebedona ka sibuor manie bungu. Orutona; omiyo amon kode.
Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have 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.
Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.
10 Jokwath mangʼeny biro ketho puotha mar mzabibu kendo ginyon puotha; gibiro loko puotha mamiyo bedo puodho motwo mojwangʼ.
Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
11 Enobed puodho mojwangʼ, motwo, kendo machalo gunda e nyima; pinyno duto noyugno nikech onge ngʼama dewe.
They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.
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 spoilers are come upon all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of the Lord shall devour from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh shall have 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 have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger 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 saith the Lord against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.
15 To bangʼ ka asegologi, anakechgi kendo, bende anaduog moro ka moro ir girkeni mare owuon kod pinye owuon.
And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every 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 it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The Lord liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst 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, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the Lord.
