Jeremia 27
1 E chakruok mar loch Zedekia wuod Josia ruodh Juda, wachni nobiro ne Jeremia koa ir Jehova Nyasaye:
This message came to Jeremiah from the Lord at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, son of Josiah, king of Judah.
2 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye nowachona: “Los jok gi tol kod lodi moriw kendo ikete e ngʼuti.
This is what the Lord told me: Make for yourself a harness and a yoke and strap it on your neck
3 Eka ior wach ne ruodhi mag Edom, Moab, Amon, Turo kod Sidon kokalo kuom jombetre mosebiro Jerusalem ir Zedekia ruodh Juda.
Send a message to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, and Sidon through the ambassadors who have come to Jerusalem to see Zedekiah king of Judah.
4 Migi ote mar jotendgi kendo iwachi ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ma, Nyasach Israel, wacho: “Nyisuru jotendu kama:
Give them this order from the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, to convey to their masters:
5 Kuom tekona maduongʼ asechweyo piny gi joge kod le duto manie iye, kendo achiwo gigagi ne ngʼato angʼata mahero.
It was by my strength and creative power that I made the earth and the human beings and animals that live there, and I give it to those who are right in my sight.
6 Koro anachiw pinjeu ne jatichna Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon; anami kata le mag bungu winje.
Now I have placed my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon in charge of all these countries. I have even given him control over the wild animals.
7 Ogendini duto notine kod wuode kod nyakware ma wuowi nyaka kinde mar pinye chopi; eka pinje mangʼeny kod ruodhi maroteke nokete obed jatichgi.
All nations will serve him and his son and grandson, until the time that his own land comes under the control of other nations and powerful kings.
8 “‘“Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya: Kapo ni piny kata gwengʼ moro amora ok noti ne Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon kata kulo wiye e bwo jok mare, to anakum pinyno gi ligangla, kech kod masira, nyaka ane ni atieke gi lwete.
Any nation or kingdom that doesn't serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and doesn't submit to him I will punish that nation by war and famine and plague, declares the Lord, until I let Nebuchadnezzar destroy it completely.
9 Omiyo kik uchik itu ne jonabi magu, jokor wach magu, joloknu lek, jo-nyakalondo kata ajuoke magu manyisou ni ok unutine ruodh Babulon.
Don't you listen to your prophets, your fortune-tellers, your interpreters of dreams, your mediums, or your magicians when they tell you, “You won't serve the king of Babylon.”
10 Gikoronu miriambo ma biro miyo idarou mabor gi pinyu; anariembu kendo unutho.
They're prophesying a lie to you that will lead to your removal from your country. I will expel you and you will die.
11 To ka oganda moro amora enokulre e bwo jok mar ruodh Babulon mi otine, to anami ogandano odongʼ e pinye owuon mondo opure kendo mondo odagi kanyo, Jehova Nyasaye owacho.”’”
But a nation that submits to the king of Babylon and serves him, I will leave in its own land, to cultivate it and live in it, declares the Lord.
12 Ne amiyo Zedekia ruodh Juda wach achielni. Ne awacho niya, “Kul wiyi e bwo jok mar ruodh Babulon; tine kod joge, to ibiro dak.
I gave the same message to Zedekiah king of Judah: Submit to the king of Babylon; serve him and his people, and live!
13 Angʼo madimi in kod jogi tho e dho ligangla, kech kod masira mano ma Jehova Nyasaye osechano timo ni ogendini ma ok bi tiyone ruodh Babulon?
Why should you and your people die by war and famine and plague, as the Lord has said he would bring against any nation that does not serve the king of Babylon?
14 Kik uchik itu ne jonabi mawachonu ni, ‘Ok ubi tiyone ruodh Babulon,’ nimar gikoronu miriambo.
Don't listen to messages from prophets who say, “You won't serve the king of Babylon,” for they are prophesying a lie to you.
15 Jehova Nyasaye wacho ni, ‘Ok aorogi. Gikoro miriambo e nyinga. Emomiyo, anariembu kendo unulal nono, un kaachiel gi jonabi ma koronu.’”
I didn't send them, declares the Lord, and yet they are giving false prophecies in my name. So I will expel you and you will die—you and the prophets who prophesy to you.
16 Eka ne awachone jodolo kod jogi duto niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Kik uchik itu ne jonabi mawacho ni, ‘Machiegnini koro gigo duto moa e od Jehova Nyasaye ibiro duogi koa Babulon.’ Gikoronu miriambo.
Then I told the priests and all the people, This is what the Lord says: Don't listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, “Look! The objects from the Lord's Temple will shortly be returned from Babylon.” They are prophesying a lie to you.
17 Kik iwinjgi. Tine ruodh Babulon, to inibed mangima. Angʼo momiyo dala maduongʼni nyaka kethi?
Don't listen to them. Serve the king of Babylon and live! Why should this city be destroyed?
18 Ka gin jonabi kendo gin-gi wach Jehova Nyasaye, to mondo gikwa Jehova Nyasaye Maratego gigo mabeyo modongʼ e od Jehova Nyasaye kod e kar dak mar ruodh Juda kod e Jerusalem kik ter Babulon.
If they are truly prophets and really have the word of the Lord with them, they should be pleading now with the Lord Almighty that what's left in the Lord's Temple, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, isn't taken to Babylon.
19 Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho kuom sirni, Nam, gik minyalo tingʼ kod gik mamoko modongʼ e dala maduongʼni,
This what the Lord Almighty says about the pillars, the bronze sea, the bases, and the rest of the objects that are left in Jerusalem:
20 mane Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon ne ok okawo sa mane otero Jehoyakin wuod Jehoyakim ruodh Juda e twech kogole Jerusalem nyaka Babulon kaachiel gi joka ruoth moa Juda gi Jerusalem,
everything Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon didn't take when he took Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim king of Judah into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon, together with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem.
21 ee, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho kuom gigo mane odongʼ e od Jehova Nyasaye kendo e kar dak mar ruodh Juda kod e Jerusalem:
Again, this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says about the objects left in the Lord's Temple, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem:
22 ‘Notergi Babulon kendo kanyo ginidongʼ nyaka odiechiengʼ ma anabi kawogie. Eka anadwog-gi kendo aketgi kae.’” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
They will be taken away to Babylon and will stay there until the time I see to them again, declares the Lord. Only then will I bring them back so they will be in Jerusalem again.
