Jeremia 16
1 Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “Kik ikendi mondo kik inywol yawuowi kata nyiri ka.”
“You shall not take a wife, and there shall be no sons or daughters for you in this place.
3 Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho kuom yawuowi gi nyiri monywol e pinyni kendo kuom mon ma minegi kod chwo ma wuonegi:
For thus says the Lord concerning the sons and daughters who are conceived in this place, and concerning their mothers who give birth to them, and concerning their fathers, from whose stock they have been born in this land:
4 “Ginitho gi tuoche maricho richo. Ok nogo nduchgi kata ik bende ok noikgi, to ginichal ka owuoyo manie lowo. Ligangla kod kech noneg-gi, to ringregi nobed chiemb winy mafuyo e kor polo kod le manie piny.”
They will die from grievous mortal illnesses. They will not be mourned, and they will not be buried. They will be like manure on the face of the earth. And they will be consumed by sword and by famine. And their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the land.”
5 Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Kik idonj e ot mantiere chiemb liel; kik iywagi bende kik ikechgi, nikech asegolo gwethna, herana kod ngʼwonona kuom jogi.
For thus says the Lord: “You shall not enter the house of feasting, and you shall not go to mourn or to console them. For I have taken away from this people, says the Lord, my peace, my mercy, and my pity.
6 Joma iwuoro to gi ji ajiya notho e pinyni. Ok noikgi kendo ok noywag-gi, bende onge ngʼama nongʼad dende kata lielo wiye nikech gin.
Both the great and the small will die in this land. They will not be buried, and they will not be mourned. And no one will cut themselves or make themselves bald on their behalf.
7 Onge ngʼama nochiw chiemo mondo oogo joma goyo nduch joma otho kata mana newuoro kata miyo bende onge ngʼama nomigi math mondo oogi.
And they will not break bread among themselves for the sake of him who mourns, so as to console him over the dead. And they will not give them a chalice to drink, so as to console them over their father and mother.
8 “Kendo kik idonj e ot mantiere nyasi ma ibed piny mondo ichiem kendo metho.
And so, you shall not enter the house of feasting, so as to sit with them, and to eat and drink.”
9 Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: E ndalo ngimau kendo ka uneno anatiek koko mar ilo kae kod wende mag nyako midhi kendi kod wuowi madhi kendo.
For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, I will take away from this place, in your sight and in your days, the voice of gladness and the voice of rejoicing, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride.
10 “Ka inyiso jogi gigi duto to gipenji ni, ‘Angʼo momiyo Jehova Nyasaye osechikonwa masira malich ka ma? Angʼo ma wasetimo marach? Richo mane ma wasetimo ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa?’
And when you announce all these words to this people, they will say to you: ‘Why would the Lord pronounce all this great evil against us? What is our iniquity and what is our sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?’
11 Eka iwachnegi ni Jehova Nyasaye owacho ni, ‘Nikech wuoneu nojwangʼa, mi giluwo bangʼ nyiseche manono mi gitiyonegi kendo lamogi. Ne gikweda kendo ok girito chikna.
And you shall say to them: It is because your fathers abandoned me, says the Lord. And they went after strange gods, and they served them and adored them. And they abandoned me, and they did not keep my law.
12 To usebedo joma timbegi mono moloyo wuoneu. Ne kaka ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu luwo timbe manono mag chuny kar mondo gilwora.
But you have acted even worse than your fathers. For behold, each one walks after the depravity of his own evil heart, so that he does not listen to me.
13 Kuom mano, anawitu oko mar pinyni nyaka e piny ma un kata wuoneu ok osengʼeyo, kendo kanyo unutine nyiseche moko manono odiechiengʼ gi otieno, nimar ok anangʼwon-nu.’”
And so, I will cast you out of this land, into a land that you do not know, and that your fathers did not know. And in that place, you will serve, day and night, strange gods who will not give you rest.
14 Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “Kata kamano, ndalo biro, ma dhano ok nochak owachi ni, ‘Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima, manogolo jo-Israel Misri,’
Therefore, behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when it will no longer be said, ‘As the Lord lives, who led the sons of Israel away from the land of Egypt,’
15 to giniwach ni, ‘Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima, manogolo jo-Israel e piny ma yo nyandwat kendo koa e pinje duto kama ne oseriembogie.’ Nimar anadwog-gi e piny mane amiyo kweregi.”
but instead, ‘As the Lord lives, who led the sons of Israel away from the land of the north,’ and from all the lands to which I have cast them out. And I will lead them back into their own land, which I gave to their fathers.
16 Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “To anaor jolupo mangʼeny kendo ginimakgi. Bangʼ mano anaor jodwar mangʼeny, kendo ginidwargi e got maduongʼ kod mago matindo kendo e kuonde pondo mokunyore e lwendni.
Behold, I will send many fishermen, says the Lord, and they will fish for them. And after this, I will send many hunters to them, and they will hunt for them on every mountain, and on every hilltop, and in the caverns of the rocks.
17 Wengena ne oneno timbegi duto; ok gipondona, bende richogo ok opondona.
For my eyes are upon all their ways. They have not been hidden from my face, and their iniquity has not been concealed from my eyes.
18 Anachulgi nyadiriyo kuom timbegi mamono kod richo mag-gi, nikech gisenjawo pinya kod gigi mopa maonge ngima kendo gisepongʼo girkeni mara gi nyisechegi manono maonge tich.”
But first, I will repay their double iniquities and their sins. For they have defiled my land with the dead bodies of their idols, and they have filled my inheritance with their abominations.”
19 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, in e tekona kod ohingana, kar pondona e ndalo chandruok, in ema ogendini nobi iri koa e tungʼ piny ka tungʼ piny mi giwachi ni, “Wuonewa ne onge gimoro to mana nyiseche manono mag miriambo, nyiseche mopa maonge tich mane ok otimonegi ber moro amora.
“O Lord, my strength, and my health, and my refuge in the day of tribulation: the Gentiles will approach you from the ends of the earth, and they will say: ‘Truly, our fathers possessed a lie, an emptiness that has not benefited them.’
20 Bende ji loso nyisechegi giwegi? Ee, to ok gin nyiseche!”
How can man make gods for himself, though these are not gods?”
21 “Emomiyo anapuonjgi kendo tinendeni anapuonjgi, tekona gi nyalona. Eka giningʼe ni nyinga en Jehova Nyasaye.”
“Concerning this, behold: I will make it clear to them, in this turn. I will reveal to them my hand and my virtue. And they will know that the Lord is my name.”
