Jeremia 15
1 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachona kama: “Kata dabed ni Musa gi Samuel ema nyalo chungʼ e nyima, to ok anyal weyonegi richogi. Golgi oko e nyima! Wegi gidhi!
Then the LORD said to me: “Even if Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My heart would not go out to this people. Send them from My presence, and let them go.
2 To ka gipenji ni, ‘Ere kama wanyalo dhiyoe?’ To nyisgi ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “‘Mago matho ochomo, tho nonegi; mago ma ligangla ochomo, noneg gi ligangla; to mago ma kech ochomo, kech nonegi; to mago ma twech ochomo, noter e twech.’”
If they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’ you are to tell them that this is what the LORD says: ‘Those destined for death, to death; those destined for the sword, to the sword; those destined for famine, to famine; and those destined for captivity, to captivity.’
3 Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “Abiro oro masiche angʼwen mopogore opogore, ma gin ligangla mar nek kod guogi maywayo gi mabor gi winy mafuyo e kor polo gi ondiegi mag bungu mondo okidhgi kendo tiekogi.
I will appoint over them four kinds of destroyers, declares the LORD: the sword to kill, the dogs to drag away, and the birds of the air and beasts of the earth to devour and destroy.
4 Anami pinjeruodhi duto mag piny bed gibuok kuomgi nikech gima Manase wuod Hezekia ruodh Juda notimo e Jerusalem.
I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what Manasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah did in Jerusalem.
5 “Ere ngʼama nokechi, yaye Jerusalem? Ere ngʼama biro ywagi? Ere ngʼama nochungʼ ma penji kaka idhi?”
Who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem? Who will mourn for you? Who will turn aside to ask about your welfare?
6 Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “Isedaga. Isiko mana kibaro iweyo yo. Omiyo anaket lweta kuomi kendo tieki; ok anatimni ngʼwono kendo.
You have forsaken Me, declares the LORD. You have turned your back. So I will stretch out My hand against you and I will destroy you; I am weary of showing compassion.
7 Anapiedhgi gi odhech pietho e dhorangeye mag dala maduongʼ mar piny. Anakel lit kod kethruok ne joga, nimar gitamore loko yoregi.
I will scatter them with a winnowing fork at the gates of the land. I will bereave and destroy My people who have not turned from their ways.
8 Anami mon ma chwogi otho mag-gi bedo mathoth moloyo kwoyo manie dho nam. E odiechiengʼ tir anakel ngʼama nego mana rowere; kendo apoya nono anakelnegi lit kod bwok maduongʼ.
I will make their widows more numerous than the sand of the sea. I will bring a destroyer at noon against the mothers of young men. I will suddenly bring upon them anguish and dismay.
9 Miyo man-gi nyithindo abiriyo nobed mool matho. To chiengʼ marienyne nopodhi kapod en odiechiengʼ; wiye nokuodi kendo chunye nochandre. Ananeg jogo motony gi ligangla, e nyim wasikgi,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
The mother of seven will grow faint; she will breathe her last breath. Her sun will set while it is still day; she will be disgraced and humiliated. And the rest I will put to the sword in the presence of their enemies,”
10 Wuololo, minwa, angʼo momiyo ne inywola, an ngʼat ma piny ngima piemgo kendo kedogo! Pok aholo ngʼato kata an bende pok ohola, to kata kamano ji duto kwongʼa.
Woe to me, my mother, that you have borne me, a man of strife and conflict in all the land. I have neither lent nor borrowed, yet everyone curses me.
11 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho, “Adier anaresi gi gima omiyo maber; adier anami wasiki sayi, e kinde mag masira kod kinde mag thagruok.
The LORD said: “Surely I will deliver you for a good purpose; surely I will intercede with your enemy in your time of trouble, in your time of distress.
12 “Bende dhano nyalo turo chuma, chuma moa yo nyandwat kata mula?
Can anyone smash iron— iron from the north—or bronze?
13 “Mwandu magu kod mago ma ukano anachiw mondo yaki, maonge chudo, nikech richo magu duto e pinyu mangima.
Your wealth and your treasures I will give up as plunder, without charge for all your sins within all your borders.
14 Anaketu ubed wasumbini ne wasiku e piny ma ok ungʼeyo, nimar mirimba biro moko mach mabiro wangʼou.”
Then I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for My anger will kindle a fire that will burn against you.”
15 In ingʼeyo, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; para kendo konya. Chul kuor ne joma sanda. Isenano koda omiyo kik iweya; par kaka osesanda kochaya nikech in.
You understand, O LORD; remember me and attend to me. Avenge me against my persecutors. In Your patience, do not take me away. Know that I endure reproach for Your honor.
16 Ka wechegi nobiro, ne achamogi; ne gin morna, kendo ilo mar chunya, nimar iluonga gi nyingi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye Maratego.
Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words became my joy and my heart’s delight. For I bear Your name, O LORD God of Hosts.
17 Ne ok abedo e kanyakla mar jojaro, ne ok atimo nyasi kodgi; to ne abedo kenda nikech lweti ne ni kuoma kendo ne ipongʼa gi mirima.
I never sat with the band of revelers, nor did I celebrate with them. Because Your hand was on me, I sat alone, for You have filled me with indignation.
18 Angʼo momiyo rem mara ok rum kendo adhonda lich ma ok nyal thiedhore? Bende inyalo bedona ka aora modwono, mana ka soko motwo?
Why is my pain unending, and my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? You have indeed become like a mirage to me— water that is not there.
19 Emomiyo ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Ka ilokori iweyo richoni, anaduogi mondo itina; ka iwacho weche mowinjore, ma ok manono, to ni inibed ngʼat ma wuoyo e loya. We jogi oduog ira, to in kik idog irgi.
Therefore this is what the LORD says: “If you return, I will restore you; you will stand in My presence. And if you speak words that are noble instead of worthless, you will be My spokesman. It is they who must turn to you, but you must not turn to them.
20 Anaketi ibed ohinga ne jogi, ohinga moger motegno mar mula; giniked kodi to ok gini loyi, nimar an kodi mondo akonyi kendo resi,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
Then I will make you a wall to this people, a fortified wall of bronze; they will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you to save and deliver you, declares the LORD.
21 “Anaresi e lwet joma timbegi mono kendo akonyi e lwet joma ger.”
I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked and redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless.”
