Jeremia 14
1 Ma e wach Jehova Nyasaye mane omiyo Jeremia e wach oro:
The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought.
2 “Juda ywak, mieche madongo winjo lit; gidengo ne piny, kendo ywak winjore koa Jerusalem.
"Judah mourns, and its gates languish, they sit in black on the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
3 Joka ruoth oro jotichgi manyo pi; gidhi e sokni to ok giyud pi. Gidwogo gi agulni mag-gi ka ok otuome pi, ka giluor kendo gibuok, giumo wiyegi.
Their nobles send their little ones to the waters: they come to the cisterns, and find no water; they return with their vessels empty; they are disappointed and confounded, and cover their heads.
4 Lo nigi okak nikech onge koth e piny; jopur luoro omako kendo giumo wiyegi.
Because of the ground which is cracked, because no rain has been in the land, the plowmen are disappointed, they cover their heads.
5 Kata mwanda manie puodho jwangʼo nyathine nikech onge lum.
Yes, the hind also in the field calves, and forsakes her young, because there is no grass.
6 Punde mag bungu chungʼ ka kuonde motwo motingʼore gi malo, kendo gigamo yweyo ka ondiegi; wengegi ok nyal neno nimar onge kar kwath.”
The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights, they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail, because there is no herbage."
7 Kata obedo ni richowa nyisowa ni wan joketho, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, tim gimoro nikech nyingi. Wasebaro waweyo yoreni; kendo wasetimo richo e nyimi.
"Though our iniquities testify against us, work for your name's sake, LORD; for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against you.
8 Yaye geno mar Israel, Jares mare e kinde mag thagruok, en angʼo momiyo ichalo wendo e piny, kaka jawuoth mobuoro otieno achiel?
Hope of Israel, its Savior in the time of trouble, why should you be as a foreigner in the land, and as a wayfaring man who turns aside to stay for a night?
9 Ere gima omiyo ichalo gi ngʼat mobuok, kata ka jalweny maonge gi teko ma dokonygo ngʼato? In e dierwa, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kendo iluongowa kod nyingi; kik ijwangʼwa!
Why should you be like a scared man, as a mighty man who can't save? Yet you, LORD, are in the midst of us, and we are called by your name; do not leave us."
10 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho kuom jogi: “Gihero bayo alanda kendo tiendegi ok ywe. Kuom mano, Jehova Nyasaye ok orwakogi; omiyo koro obiro paro timbegi mamono, kendo okumgi kuom richogi.”
Thus says the LORD to this people, "Even so have they loved to wander; they have not refrained their feet: therefore the LORD does not accept them; now he will remember their iniquity, and visit their sins."
11 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachona, “Kik ilam mondo jogi odhi maber.
The LORD said to me, "Do not pray for this people for their good.
12 Kata ka gitweyo chiemo; ok anawinj ywakgi; kata bed ni gichiwo misango miwangʼo pep kod chiwo mag cham, ok anarwakgi. To kata kamano ananeg-gi gi ligangla, kech kod dera.”
When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and meal offering, I will not accept them; but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence."
13 To ne awacho niya, “Yaye, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, jonabi osebedo kanyisogi ni, ‘Ok unune ligangla kata kech bende ok nokau. Adiera, anamiu kwe mochwere kaeni.’”
Then I said, "Ah, LORD. Look, the prophets tell them, 'You shall not see the sword, neither shall you have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.'"
14 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachona, “Jonabigo koro miriambo e nyinga. Pok aorogi, kata walogi kata wuoyo kodgi. Ginyisou fweny manono, gikoro weche manono gilamo nyiseche manono kod pachgi giwegi morundore.
Then the LORD said to me, "The prophets prophesy lies in my name; I did not send them, neither have I commanded them, neither spoke I to them: they prophesy to you a lying vision, and divination, and a thing of nothing, and the deceit of their own heart.
15 Emomiyo, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho kuom jonabi makoro e nyinga: Ne ok aorogi, kata bed ni giwacho niya, ‘Onge ligangla kata kech manobi e pinyni.’ Jonabi gogo-go notiek gi ligangla kod kech.
Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name, and I did not send them, yet they say, 'Sword and famine shall not be in this land:' 'By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.'
16 Kendo jogo ma gikorone nowit oko e yore mag Jerusalem nikech kech kod ligangla. Onge ngʼama noikgi kata mondegi, yawuotgi kata nyigi. Anaol kuomgi masiche mowinjore kodgi.
The people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them—them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness on them."
17 “Wachnegi wachni: “‘Mad wangʼa pongʼ gi pi wangʼ otieno gi odiechiengʼ ma ok rum; ne nyara mangili, joga, osewinjo lit mar adhola, gi hinyruok mapek.
"You shall say this word to them, 'Let my eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease; for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous wound.
18 Ka adhi e pinyno, aneno jogo monegi gi ligangla; ka adhi e dala maduongʼ, to aneno masiche ma kech okelo. Janabi kaachiel gi jadolo osedhi e piny ma ok gingʼeyo.’”
If I go forth into the field, then, look, the slain with the sword. And if I enter into the city, then, look, those who are sick with famine. For both the prophet and the cohen go about in the land, and have no knowledge.'"
19 Bende isekwedo Juda chuth? Dibed ni ichayo Sayun? Angʼo momiyo isehinyowa ma ok wanyal chango? Ne wageno kwe to onge ber mosebiro, kinde mar chang to nitie mana thagruok.
"Have you utterly rejected Judah? Has your soul loathed Zion? Why have you struck us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and look, dismay.
20 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, wayie gi timbewa mamono kod ketho mag wuonewa; adiera wasetimoni richo.
We acknowledge, LORD, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against you.
21 Ne kuom nyingi kik ijarwa; kik ijwangʼ kom duongʼ mari malich. Par singruok mari kodwa kendo kik ikethe.
Do not abhor us, for your name's sake; do not disgrace the throne of your glory: remember, do not break your covenant with us.
22 Bende nyiseche manono maonge tich mar ogendini bende nyalo kelo koth? Bende boche kendgi kelo ngʼidho? Ooyo, en in, yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa. Emomiyo genowa ni kuomi, nimar in ema itimo magi duto.
Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? Or can the sky give showers? Aren't you he, LORD our God? Therefore we will wait for you; for you have made all these things."
