Jeremia 21
1 Wach nobiro ne Jeremia koa ir Jehova Nyasaye kane Ruoth Zedekia noorone Pashur wuod Malkija kod jadolo Zefania wuod Maseya. Negiwacho:
The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur, the son of Malchiah, and Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,
2 “Koro lamnwa Jehova Nyasaye nikech Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon monjowa. Sa moro Jehova Nyasaye nyalo timonwa honni mana kaka osetimonwa e kinde mosekalo mondo omi oa kuomwa.”
Will you get directions from the Lord for us; for Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, is making war against us; it may be that the Lord will do something for us like all the wonders he has done, and make him go away from us.
3 To Jeremia nodwokogi niya, “Nyisuru Zedekia,
Then Jeremiah said to them, This is what you are to say to Zedekiah:
4 ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, wacho: Achiegni loko gige lweny manie lwetugo mondo ogou, magin mago mutiyogo mondo ukedgo gi ruodh Babulon kod jo-Babulon mantiere oko mar ohinga. Kendo anachokgi duto ei dala maduongʼni.
The Lord God of Israel has said, See, I am turning back the instruments of war in your hands, with which you are fighting against the king of Babylon and the Chaldaeans, who are outside the walls and shutting you in; and I will get them together inside this town.
5 An awuon abiro kedo kodi ka iya owangʼ kendo ka an gi mirima mager.
And I myself will be fighting against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even with angry feeling and passion and in great wrath.
6 Ananeg jogo modak e dala maduongʼni, chwo kaachiel gi le kendo masira malich noneg-gi.
And I will send a great disease on the people living in this town, on man and on beast, causing their death.
7 Bangʼ mano, Jehova Nyasaye wacho, anachiw Zedekia ruodh Juda, jotende kod joma ni e dala maduongʼni ma notony e masira, ligangla kod kech, ne Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon to gi wasikgi madwaro ngimagi. Enoneg-gi gi ligangla; ok enowenegi kata kechogi kata ngʼwononegi.’
And after that, says the Lord, I will give up Zedekiah, king of Judah, and his servants and his people, even those in the town who have not come to their end from the disease and the sword and from need of food, into the hands of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, and into the hands of their haters, and into the hands of those desiring their death: he will put them to the sword; he will not let anyone get away, he will have no pity or mercy.
8 “To bende, med nyiso ji ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Ne, aketo e nyimi yor ngima kod yor tho.
And to this people you are to say, The Lord has said, See, I put before you the way of life and the way of death.
9 Ngʼato angʼata modak e dala maduongʼni noneg gi ligangla, kech kod masira. To ngʼatno mowuok kendo otingʼo bade ne jo-Babulon molworou; notony gi ngimane.
He who keeps in this town will come to his death by the sword and through need of food and through disease; but he who goes out and gives himself up to the Chaldaeans who are shutting you in, will go on living, and will keep his life safe.
10 Aramo mar timo ne dala maduongʼni marach ma ok maber, Jehova Nyasaye owacho. Enochiwe e lwet ruodh Babulon, kendo enotieke gi mach.’
For my face is turned to this town for evil and not for good, says the Lord: it will be given into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will have it burned with fire.
11 “Kuom mano, wachne od joka ruoth mar od Juda ni, ‘Winj wach Jehova Nyasaye;
About the family of the king of Judah. Give ear to the word of the Lord;
12 Yaye od Daudi, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “‘Ngʼad bura makare okinyi ka okinyi; kony ngʼatno ma imayo e lwet joma thire, ka ok kamano to mirimba noolre oko, kendo liel ka mach nikech timbe mamono misetimo nowangʼ, maonge ngʼama nyalo kweye.
O family of David, this is what the Lord has said: Do what is right in the morning, and make free from the hands of the cruel one him whose goods have been violently taken away, or my wrath will go out like fire, burning so that no one may put it out, because of the evil of your doings.
13 Ok adwari, in Jerusalem, un jogo modak ewi holoni, e got mar mesa motimo lwanda, Jehova Nyasaye owacho; un ma uwacho niya, “En ngʼa manyalo kwedowa? En ngʼa manyalo donjo kar pondowa?”
See, I am against you, you who are living on the rock of the valley, says the Lord; you who say, Who will come down against us? or who will get into our houses?
14 Anakumu moromo gi timbeu, Jehova Nyasaye owacho. Anamok mach e bunge magu manowangʼ gimoro amora machiegni kodu.’”
I will send punishment on you in keeping with the fruit of your doings, says the Lord: and I will put a fire in her woodlands, burning up everything round about her.
