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.
This is the message that came to Jeremiah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, son of Josiah, king of Judah, which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. It concerned all the people of Judah.
2 Omiyo Jeremia janabi nowachone jo-Juda duto kod jogo duto modak Jerusalem niya:
So the prophet Jeremiah went and spoke to all the people of Judah and all of the people living in Jerusalem, telling them:
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 the reign of Josiah, son of Amon, king of Judah until now, twenty-three years in total, messages from the Lord have come to me, and I have told you what he said time and again, but you have not listened.
4 To kata obedo ni Jehova Nyasaye oseoronu jotichne ma jonabi duto pile ka pile, pod ok uchiko itu kata winjo.
Even though the Lord has sent all his servants the prophets to you time and again, you don't bother to listen or pay any attention.
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.
The consistent message has been: Give up your evil ways and the evil things you're doing so you can live in the country that the Lord has given to you and your forefathers forever.
6 Kik ulu bangʼ nyiseche manono mondo utinegi kendo ulamgi; kik umi mirima maka gi gik ma lwetu oseloso. Eka ok anahinyu.”
Don't follow other gods and worship them, and don't anger me by making idols. Then I won't do anything to hurt you.
7 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “To ne ok uwinja, kendo usechwanya gi gik ma lwetu oseloso, kendo usekelo hinyruok kuomu uwegi.”
But you've hurt yourselves by not listening to me, declares the Lord, because you angered me by making idols.
8 Emomiyo Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho kama: “Nikech utamuru winjo wechena,
So this is what the Lord Almighty says: Because you have not obeyed what I told you,
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.
watch as I summon all the people of the north, declares the Lord. I'm going to send for my servant Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, to attack this country and the people who live here, and all the surrounding nations. I will set them apart for destruction. I'm going to totally destroy you, and people will be horrified at what's happened to you and will mock you.
10 Anagol kuomgi koko mar ilo kod mor, dwond miaha kod mar wuowi madwaro kendo, koko mar kite rego kod ler mar taya.
I will also put a stop to the cheerful sounds of celebration and the happy voices of the bride and bridegroom. No noise will come from millstones being used; no lamps will be lit.
11 Pinyni mangima nobed piny mojwangʼ mokethore, kendo ogendinigi noti ne ruodh Babulon higni piero abiriyo.
This whole country will become an empty wasteland, and Judah and these other nations will serve 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.
However, when these seventy years are over, I'm going to punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the country of Babylonia, for their sin, declares the Lord. I will completely destroy them.
13 Anakel kuom pinyno gik moko duto masewacho kuome, mago duto mondiki e kitabuni kendo okor gi Jeremia kuom ogendini duto.
I will bring down on that country everything I threatened to do, everything that's written in this book which Jeremiah prophesied against all the different nations.
14 Gin giwegi ginibed wasumbini pinje mangʼeny kod ruodhi maroteke; anachulgi kaluwore gitimbegi kod tije mag lwetgi.”
Many nations and powerful kings will make slaves of them, the Babylonians, and I will pay them back for the evil they've done.
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.
This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, told me: Take this cup I'm handing to you. It contains the wine of my anger. You are to make all the nations I send you to drink from it.
16 Ka gimadhe, ginibagni kendo ginilokre jonekni nikech ligangla ma abiro oro e kindgi.”
They will drink and stumble around and go mad because of the war brought by the armies I'm sending to attack them.
17 Omiyo ne akawo kikombe mane ni e lwet Jehova Nyasaye kendo ma aketo ogendini duto mane oora irgi omadhe.
I took the cup the Lord handed to me and made all the nations he sent me to drink from it:
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;
To Jerusalem and the towns of Judah, its kings and officials, destroying them so that people were horrified at what happened to them and mocked them and cursed them (and they are still like this today);
19 jogo monego madh divai gin, Farao ruodh Misri, jotije, jotende, kod joge duto;
to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and his officials, leaders, 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 foreigners living there; to all the kings of the country of Uz; to all the kings of the Philistines: Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and what's left of Ashdod;
21 Edom, Moab kod Amon;
to Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites;
22 ruodhi duto mag Turo kod Sidon; ruodhi mag pinje mokiewo e dho nam loka kocha;
to all the kings of Tyre and Sidon; to the kings of the Mediterranean sea coast;
23 Dedan, Tema, Buz kod jogo duto mantiere kuonde maboyo;
to Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all those who trim their hair on the sides of their heads;
24 ruodhi duto mag Arabu kod ruodhi duto mag welo modak kama otwo;
to all the kings of Arabia; and to all the kings of the different tribes living in the desert;
25 kod ruodhi duto mag Zimri, Elam kod Media;
to all the kings of Zimri, Elam, and Media;
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.
to all the kings of the north; in fact to all the kingdoms on earth whether close or far away, one after another. After all of them, the king of Babylon will drink it too.
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.’
Tell them this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Drink, make yourselves drunk, and vomit. Because of the war you'll be killed, falling down never to get up again.
28 To ka gitamore kawo kikombe e lweti kendo ok gimetho, to nyisgi ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho: Nyaka umadhe!
If they should refuse to take the cup and drink from it, tell them that this is what the Lord Almighty says: You can't avoid drinking it—you have to!
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.’
Can't you see that I'm about to bring disaster down on my own city, so do you really think you wouldn't be punished as well? You won't go unpunished, for I am bringing war to everyone on earth, declares the Lord Almighty.
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.
Give this whole message as a prophecy against them. Tell them: The Lord will thunder from high above. He will thunder loudly from the holy place where he lives. He will give a great roar against the sheepfolds. He will give a loud shout like people treading the grapes, frightening everyone who lives on 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.’”
The sound will reach everywhere on the earth because the Lord is accusing the nations. He is judging everyone, executing the wicked, declares 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 Almighty says: Watch out! Disaster is falling on one nation after another; an immense storm is building up in the far distance.
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.
Those killed by the Lord at that time will cover the earth from one end to the other. No one will mourn them, or collect them, or bury them. They will be like piles of manure lying on the ground.
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.
Cry out and weep, you shepherds! Roll around on the ground mourning, you leaders of the flock. The time for you to be killed has come; you will fall, smashed like the finest pottery.
35 Onge kama jakwath noring dhiye, jokwadh rombe bende onge kama nopondie.
The shepherds won't be able to run away; the leaders of the flock won't escape.
36 Winj ywak jokwath, dengo mar jokwadh rombe, nimar Jehova Nyasaye ketho kuondegi mag kwath.
Listen to the cries of the shepherds, the weeping of the leaders of the flock, for the Lord is destroying their pasturelands.
37 Kuonde dak man-gi kwe iketho nikech mirima mager mar Jehova Nyasaye.
The peaceful sheepfolds have been ruined because of the Lord's fierce anger.
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 Lord has left his den like a lion, because their country has been devastated by the invading armies, and because of the Lord's fierce anger.
