Jeremia 25

1 Wach nobiro ne Jeremia kuom jo-Juda e higa mar angʼwen mar Jehoyakim wuod Josia ruodh Juda, mane en higa mokwongo mar Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon.

The word which came to Jeremiah about all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah king of Judah; this was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon.

2 Omiyo Jeremia janabi nowachone jo-Juda duto kod jogo duto modak Jerusalem niya:

This word Jeremiah gave out to all the people of Judah and to those living in Jerusalem, saying,

3 Kuom higni piero ariyo gadek, kochakore e higa mar apar gadek mar Josia wuod Amon ruodh Juda nyaka kawuononi, wach Jehova Nyasaye osebirona kendo asewuoyonu pile ka pile, to pod ok uchiko itu.

From the thirteenth year of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah, even till this day, for twenty-three years, the word of the Lord has been coming to me, and I have given it to you, getting up early and talking to you; but you have not given ear.

4 To kata obedo ni Jehova Nyasaye oseoronu jotichne ma jonabi duto pile ka pile, pod ok uchiko itu kata winjo.

And the Lord has sent to you all his servants the prophets, getting up early and sending them; but you have not given attention and your ear has not been open to give hearing;

5 Negiwacho niya, “Lokreuru koro, ngʼato ka ngʼato, uwe yoreu mamono kod timbeu maricho, kendo unyalo dak e piny mane Jehova Nyasaye omiyou kod wuoneu nyaka chiengʼ.

Saying, Come back now, everyone from his evil way and from the evil of your doings, and keep your place in the land which the Lord has given to you and to your fathers, from times long past even for ever:

6 Kik ulu bangʼ nyiseche manono mondo utinegi kendo ulamgi; kik umi mirima maka gi gik ma lwetu oseloso. Eka ok anahinyu.”

Do not go after other gods to be their servants and to give them worship, and do not make me angry with the work of your hands, causing evil to yourselves.

7 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “To ne ok uwinja, kendo usechwanya gi gik ma lwetu oseloso, kendo usekelo hinyruok kuomu uwegi.”

But you have not given ear to me, says the Lord; so that you have made me angry with the work of your hands, causing evil to yourselves.

8 Emomiyo Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho kama: “Nikech utamuru winjo wechena,

So this is what the Lord of armies has said: Because you have not given ear to my words,

9 analuong ji duto moa yo nyandwat kod jatichna Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon,” Jehova Nyasaye wacho, kendo giniked gi pinyni kod joma odakie kod ogendini molworogi duto. Anatiekgi chuth mi gibed gima bwogo ji kendo minyiero, kendo gima okethi nyaka chiengʼ.

See, I will send and take all the families of the north, says the Lord, and Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, my servant, and make them come against this land, and against its people, and against all these nations on every side; and I will give them up to complete destruction, and make them a cause of fear and surprise and a waste place for ever.

10 Anagol kuomgi koko mar ilo kod mor, dwond miaha kod mar wuowi madwaro kendo, koko mar kite rego kod ler mar taya.

And more than this, I will take from them the sound of laughing voices, the voice of joy, the voice of the newly-married man, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the stones crushing the grain, and the shining of lights.

11 Pinyni mangima nobed piny mojwangʼ mokethore, kendo ogendinigi noti ne ruodh Babulon higni piero abiriyo.

All this land will be a waste and a cause of wonder; and these nations will be the servants of the king of Babylon for seventy years.

12 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “To ka higni piero abiriyo orumo, anakum ruodh Babulon kod pinye, piny jo-Babulon, nikech ketho mag-gi, kendo anakethe nyaka chiengʼ.

And it will come about, after seventy years are ended, that I will send punishment on the king of Babylon, and on that nation, says the Lord, for their evil-doing, and on the land of the Chaldaeans; and I will make it a waste for ever.

13 Anakel kuom pinyno gik moko duto masewacho kuome, mago duto mondiki e kitabuni kendo okor gi Jeremia kuom ogendini duto.

And I will make that land undergo everything I have said against it, even everything recorded in this book, which Jeremiah the prophet has said against all the nations.

14 Gin giwegi ginibed wasumbini pinje mangʼeny kod ruodhi maroteke; anachulgi kaluwore gitimbegi kod tije mag lwetgi.”

For a number of nations and great kings will make servants of them, even of them: and I will give them the reward of their acts, even the reward of the work of their hands.

15 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, nowachona: “Kaw e lweta kikombeni moole divai mopongʼ mar mirimba kendo iket ogendini duto ma aori kuomgi omadhe.

For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said to me: Take the cup of the wine of this wrath from my hand, and make all the nations to whom I send you take of it.

16 Ka gimadhe, ginibagni kendo ginilokre jonekni nikech ligangla ma abiro oro e kindgi.”

And after drinking it, they will go rolling from side to side, and be off their heads, because of the sword which I will send among them.

17 Omiyo ne akawo kikombe mane ni e lwet Jehova Nyasaye kendo ma aketo ogendini duto mane oora irgi omadhe.

Then I took the cup from the Lord's hand, and gave a drink from it to all the nations to whom the Lord sent me;

18 Jerusalem kod dala duto mag Juda, ruodhi mag-gi kod jotende, mondo okethi kendo obed gima bwogo ji kendo gibed maonge luor kendo gima okwongʼ, mana kaka gin kawuono;

Jerusalem and the towns of Judah and their kings and their princes, to make them a waste place, a cause of fear and surprise and a curse, as it is this day;

19 jogo monego madh divai gin, Farao ruodh Misri, jotije, jotende, kod joge duto;

Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and his servants and his princes and all his people;

20 jopinje mamoko duto modak kanyo gi; ruodhi duto mar piny Uz; ruodhi duto mag jo-Filistia (mago mag Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron kod jogo mane odongʼ Ashdod);

And all the mixed people and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon and Gaza and Ekron and the rest of Ashdod;

21 Edom, Moab kod Amon;

Edom and Moab and the children of Ammon,

22 ruodhi duto mag Turo kod Sidon; ruodhi mag pinje mokiewo e dho nam loka kocha;

And all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the lands across the sea;

23 Dedan, Tema, Buz kod jogo duto mantiere kuonde maboyo;

Dedan and Tema and Buz, and all who have the ends of their hair cut;

24 ruodhi duto mag Arabu kod ruodhi duto mag welo modak kama otwo;

And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed people living in the waste land;

25 kod ruodhi duto mag Zimri, Elam kod Media;

And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;

26 kod ruodhi duto moa yo nyandwat, machiegni kod man maboyo, achiel bangʼ machielo, pinjeruodhi duto mantiere e wangʼ piny. Eka mogik, ruodh Sheshak bende nomadhe.

And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.

27 “Eka inyisgi ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: Methi, mer kendo ngʼogi, mi ipodh piny ma ok inyal chungo malo kendo nikech ligangla ma anaor e dieru.’

And you are to say to them, This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Take of this cup and be overcome, and let it come out again from your lips, and from your fall you will never be lifted up again, because of the sword which I will send among you.

28 To ka gitamore kawo kikombe e lweti kendo ok gimetho, to nyisgi ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho: Nyaka umadhe!

And it will be, if they will not take of the cup in your hand, then you are to say to them, This is what the Lord of armies has said: You will certainly take of it.

29 Neuru, asechako kelo masira kuom dala maduongʼ mondikie Nyinga, to adiera bende unyalo tony ne kum? Ok unutonyne kum nimar akelo ligangla kuom jogo modak e piny, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.’

For see, I am starting to send evil on the town which is named by my name, and are you to be without any punishment? You will not be without punishment: for I will send a sword on all people living on the earth, says the Lord of armies.

30 “Koro kor wechegi duto kuomgi kendo wachnegi ni: “‘Jehova Nyasaye noruti koa malo; nomor ka polo koa e kar dak mare maler, kendo oruti gi teko kuom pinye. Enokogi ka jogo ma biyo olemb mzabibu, kogoyo koko ne jogo modak e piny.

So, as a prophet, give out these words among them, and say to them, The voice of the Lord will be sounding like a lion from on high; he will send out his voice from his holy place, like the loud voice of a lion, against his flock; he will give a cry, like those who are crushing the grapes, against all the people of the earth.

31 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, Koko nowinjre e tungʼ piny ka tungʼ piny, nimar Jehova Nyasaye noyar gik modonjnego ogendini; nongʼadne ji duto bura kendo joma timbegi richo noneg gi ligangla.’”

A noise will come, even to the end of the earth; for the Lord has a cause against the nations, he will give his decision against all flesh; as for the evil-doers, he will give them to the sword, says the Lord.

32 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho: “Neuru! Masira landore ne oganda koganda, yamo mager futo koa e tunge piny.”

This is what the Lord of armies has said: See, evil is going out from nation to nation, and a great storm will come up from the inmost parts of the earth.

33 E kindeno jogo moneg gi Jehova Nyasaye nokere kuonde duto kochakore e giko piny konchiel nyaka komachielo. Ok noywag-gi kata chokogi kata ikogi, to ginichal gi owuoyo mokee piny.

And at that day, the bodies of those whom the Lord has put to death will be seen from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth: there will be no weeping for them, their bodies will not be taken up or put to rest in the earth; they will be like waste on the face of the land.

34 Ywaguru kendo denguru; un jokwath; ngʼielreuru e buru, un jokwadh rombe. Nimar sa mar negou osechopo; unupodhi kendo ungʼinjru matindo tindo, ka agulu molos mongʼith.

Give cries of grief, you keepers of sheep; give cries for help, rolling yourselves in the dust, you chiefs of the flock: for the days of your destruction have fully come, and I will send you in all directions, and your fall will be like that of the males of the flock.

35 Onge kama jakwath noring dhiye, jokwadh rombe bende onge kama nopondie.

There will be no way of flight for the keepers of sheep, no road for the chiefs of the flock to get away safely.

36 Winj ywak jokwath, dengo mar jokwadh rombe, nimar Jehova Nyasaye ketho kuondegi mag kwath.

A sound of the cry of the keepers of sheep, and the bitter crying of the chiefs of the flock! for the Lord has made waste their green fields.

37 Kuonde dak man-gi kwe iketho nikech mirima mager mar Jehova Nyasaye.

And there is no sound in the fields of peace, because of the burning wrath of the Lord.

38 Kaka sibuor enowe kare mar dak, kendo pinygi nodongʼ nono, nikech ligangla mar ngʼama thiro ji kendo ligangla mar mirimb Jehova Nyasaye mager.

The lion has come out of his secret place, for the land has become a waste because of the cruel sword, and because of the heat of his wrath.
