Jeremia 22
1 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Dhiyo e kar dak mar ruodh Juda kendo iland wachni kanyo:
Thus saith the Lord: Go down to the house of the king of Juda, and there thou shalt speak this word,
2 ‘Winj wach Jehova Nyasaye, yaye ruodh Juda, un joma bet e kom duongʼ Daudi, in, jotendi kod jogi madonjo gie dhorangeyegi.
And thou shalt say: Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Juda, that sittest upon the throne of David: thou and thy servants, and thy people, who enter in by these gates.
3 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Tim gima nikare kendo mowinjore. Res ngʼatno e lwet ngʼama thire, ngʼatno mosemaye. Kik itim marach kata tugo lweny gi jadak, kiye kata mon ma chwogi otho, kendo kik ichwer remo maonge gi wach ka eri.
Thus saith the Lord: Execute judgement and justice, and deliver him that is oppressed out of the hand of the oppressor: and afflict not the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, nor oppress them unjustly: and shed not innocent blood in this place.
4 Nimar ka urito chikegi maber, eka ruodhi mabet e kom duongʼ mar Daudi nondonji gi e dhorangeye mag kar dak ruoth, ka giriembo geche kendo giidho farese, ka gin gi jotendgi kod jogegi.
For if you will do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house, kings of the race of David sitting upon his throne, and riding in chariots and on horses, they and their servants, and their people.
5 To ka ok urito chikegi, Jehova Nyasaye wacho, akwongʼora an owuon ni kar dak ruodhni nolal nono.’”
But if you will not hearken to these words: I swear by myself, saith the Lord, that this house shall become a desolation.
6 Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho kuom kar dak mar ruodh Juda: “Kata obedo ni in kaka Gilead ne an, kaka wi got Lebanon, adiera analoku kaka kama otwo, ka mier maonge joma odakie.
For thus saith the Lord to the house of the king of Juda: Thou art to me Galaad the head of Libanus: yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and cities not habitable.
7 Anaor joma tiekou, ngʼato ka ngʼato gi gige lweny, kendo ginitongʼ sirniu mabeyo mag sida mi giwitgi ei mach.
And I will prepare against thee the destroyer and his weapons: and they shall cut down thy chosen cedars, and shall cast them headlong into the fire.
8 “Ji moa e pinje mangʼeny nokal e dala maduongʼni kendo ginipenjre kendgi giwegi ni, ‘Angʼo momiyo Jehova Nyasaye timo gima chalo kama ne dala maduongʼni?’
And many nations shall pass by this city: and they shall say every man to his neighbor: Why hath the Lord done so to this great city?
9 To dwoko nobed: ‘Nikech gisejwangʼo singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi kendo giselamo kendo tiyone nyiseche mamoko.’”
And they shall answer: Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God, and have adored strange gods, and served them.
10 Kik uywag ruoth motho kata goyo nduru ne lal mare; to onego, uywag malit ne ngʼatno moter e twech, nikech ok enoduogi kata neno piny mane onywole kendo.
Weep not for him that is dead, nor bemoan him with your tears: lament him that goeth away, for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
11 Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye osewacho kawuoyo kuom Shalum wuod Josia, mane okawo loch bangʼ wuon-gi kaka ruodh Juda, “Osea ka kendo ok nodwogi.
For thus saith the Lord to Sellum the son of Josias the king of Juda, who reigned instead of his father, who went forth out of this place: He shall return hither no more:
12 Enotho kama gisetere e twech; ok enone pinyni kendo.”
But in the place, to which I have removed him, there shall he die, and he shall not see this land any more.
13 “Mano kaka none malit ngʼatno magero kare mar dak maonge ratiro, utene mamalo e yor mecho koketo jothurgi tiyo maonge chudo.
Woe to him that buildeth up his house by injustice, and his chambers not in judgement: that will oppress his friend without cause, and will not pay him his wages.
14 Owacho, ‘Anagerne an owuon kar dak mara maduongʼ ka en-gi ute mamalo malach.’ Omiyo oloso dirisni malach kuome, olwore gi fito mar yiend sida, kendo obuke gi range marakwaro.
Who saith: I will build me a wide house and large chambers: who openeth to himself windows, and maketh roofs of cedar, and painteth them with vermilion.
15 “Bedo gi yiende mag sida mangʼeny nyalo miyo ibed ruoth? Donge wuonu ne nigi chiemo kod math? Notimo gima ratiro kendo nikare, omiyo duto nobedo maber kode.
Shalt thou reign, because thou comparest thyself to the cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and it was then well with him?
16 Ne ochungʼ motegno ne joma odhier kendo ni gidwaro, kendo duto nobedo maber kode. Donge mano e tiend ngʼeya?” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
He judged the cause of the poor and needy for his own good: was it not therefore because he knew me, saith the Lord?
17 “To wengeu kod chunyu ochikore mana e yor yudo ohala gi mecho, e chwero remo maonge gi wach kuom thiro ji kod lweny.”
But thy eyes and thy heart are set upon covetousness, and upon shedding innocent blood, and upon oppression, and running after evil works.
18 Emomiyo ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho kuom Jehoyakim wuod Josia ruodh Juda: “Ok giniywage ni: ‘Yaye, owadwa! Yaye, nyamera!’ Ok giniywage ni: ‘Yaye, jatenda! Yaye, duongʼ mari!’
Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda: They shall not mourn for him, Alas, my brother, and Alas, sister: they shall not lament for him, Alas, my Lord, or, Alas, the noble one.
19 Enoyike ka punda, moywa kendo owit oko mar dhorangeye Jerusalem.”
He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, rotten and cast forth without the gates of Jerusalem.
20 “Dhiyo Lebanon kendo iywag matek, mad dwondi winjre Bashan, ywagi ka ia Abarim, nimar joma osiepenigo oseduny matindo tindo.
Go up to Libanus, and cry: and lift up thy voice in Basan, and cry to them that pass by, for all thy lovers are destroyed.
21 Ne amiyou siem e kinde mane uparo ni uritoru maber, to ne iwacho ni, ‘Ok anachik ita!’ Ma osebedo yori chakre ibed rawera; ok iseluora.
I spoke to thee in thy properity: and thou saidst: I will not hear: this hath been thy way from thy youth, because thou hast not heard my voice.
22 Yamo noriemb jokwadhu duto, kendo joma osiepeni noter e twech. Eka wiyi nokuodi kendo nogengʼni nikech timbegi maricho.
The wind shall feed all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: and then shalt thou be confounded, and ashamed of all thy wickedness.
23 Un jogo modak Lebanon, modak e ute bao mag sida moger gi malo, mano kaka unuywag malit ka rem ochopo kuomu, rem machalo gi mar dhako mamuoch kayo!”
Thou that sittest in Libanus, and makest thy nest in the cedars, how hast thou mourned when sorrows came upon thee, as the pains of a woman in labour?
24 Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “An Jehova Nyasaye mangima akwongʼora ni kata ne bed ni in Jehoyakin wuod Jehoyakim ruodh Juda, ni in e tere manie lweta ma korachwich, to pod dawuodhi oko.
As I live, saith the Lord, if Jechonias the son of Joakim the king of Juda were a ring on my right hand, I would pluck him thence.
25 Anachiwi ne jogo madwaro ngimani kendo miluoro. Abiro chiwou ne Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon kod jo-Babulon.
And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, and into the hand of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
26 Anadiri oko kod miyo mane onywoli e piny machielo, kama onge ngʼama nonywole kuomu, kendo kanyo ema uduto unuthoe.
And I will send thee, and thy mother that bore thee, into a strange country, in which you were not born, and there you shall die:
27 Ok unuduogie piny ma ugombo duogoeni.”
And they shall not return into the land, whereunto they lift up their mind to return thither.
28 Bende ngʼatni Jehoyakin en ngʼama ojar, agulu motore, gino maonge ngʼama dwaro? En angʼo momiyo en kod nyithinde nyaka witgi oko e piny ma ok gingʼeyo?
Is this man Jechonias an earthen and a broken vessel? is he a vessel wherein there is no pleasure? why are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?
29 Yaye piny, piny, piny, winj wach Jehova Nyasaye!
O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord.
30 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Kwan ngʼatni ka ngʼama onge nyathi, ngʼatno ma ok nyal dhi nyime maber, e kinde mar ngimane, nimar onge gunde mane dhi maber, onge manobed e kom duongʼ Daudi, kata bed gi loch kendo ei Juda.”
Thus saith the Lord: Write this man barren, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for there shall not be a man of his seed that shall sit upon the throne of David, and have power any more in Juda.
