Jeremia 30
1 Ma e wach mane obirone Jeremia koa kuom Jehova Nyasaye:
This is the message that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:
2 “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, wacho: ‘Ndik e kitabu weche duto masewachoni.’
This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Write down in a book everything I've told you.
3 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, ‘Ndalo biro ma anaduog joga Israel kod Juda koa e twech kendo achokgi e piny mane amiyo kweregi mondo okaw,’ Jehova Nyasaye owacho.”
Look, the time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will bring back my people Israel and Judah from captivity, declares the Lord. I will bring them back to the country I gave to their forefathers, and they will own it again.
4 Magi e weche mane Jehova Nyasaye owacho kuom Israel gi Juda:
This what the Lord said about Israel and Judah.
5 “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “‘Ywak mar luoro winjore, en bwok malich, to ok kwe.
This is what the Lord says: Hear the cries of panic, cries of fear, not peace.
6 Koro lingʼuru mondo uparane: Bende dichwo nyalo nywolo nyithindo? To kare angʼo momiyo aneno dichwo ka dichwo maratego, komako iye ka dhako mamuoch kayo, ka luoro omakogi ka joma chiegni tho?
Think about it! Can men give birth? No. So why do I see every man holding his stomach with his hands like a woman in labor. Why is every face white as a sheet?
7 Mano kaka odiechiengʼno nobed malich! Onge manochal kode. Enobed kinde mag chandruok ne Jakobo, to norese.’”
What a terrible day it will be—a day like never before! This is the time of trouble for Jacob's descendants, but they will be rescued from it.
8 Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, “‘E odiechiengʼno anatur jok manie ngʼutgi, kendo anachod nyoroche motwegigo; joma welo ok nochak oketgi wasumbini mag-gi kendo.
On that day, declares the Lord Almighty, I will break the yoke from their necks and tear off their chains. Foreigners won't make them slaves anymore.
9 To kata kamano ginitine Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi kod Daudi ruodhgi, ma anamigi.
They will serve the Lord their God, and their king, David's descendant whom I will give them.
10 “‘Omiyo kik iluor, yaye Jakobo jatichna; kik ibwogi, yaye Israel,’ Jehova Nyasaye owacho. ‘Adier anaresi kia e piny mabor, in kaachiel gi nyikwayi koaye piny motwegie. Jakobo nobed gi kwe kendo norite maonge ngʼama nomiye luoro.
As far as you're concerned, my servant Jacob, don't be afraid, declares the Lord, Israel, don't be discouraged. I promise to save you from your distant places of exile, your descendants from the countries where they're being held captive. The descendants of Jacob will go home to a quiet and comfortable life, free from any threats.
11 Anabed kodi kendo anaresi,’ Jehova Nyasaye wacho. ‘Kata obedo ni atieko chuth ogendini duto ma akeyou e diergi, ok anatieki chuth. Anakumu ka angʼadonu bura makare; ok anaweu ma ok akumou.’
I am with you and I will save you, declares the Lord. Even though I'm going to completely destroy all the nations where I scattered you, I won't completely destroy you. However, I will discipline you as you deserve, and you can be sure I won't leave you unpunished.
12 “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “‘Adhola mari ok nyal thiedhi, hinyruok mari okalo chango.
This is what the Lord says: You have a wound that cannot be healed, you have a terrible injury.
13 Onge ngʼama nyalo chiwo kwayoni kari, kendo onge gima nyalo thiedhoni adhola, kata manyalo changi.
There's no one to take care of your case, no cure for your sores, no healing for you.
14 Joma ne osiepeni duto wigi osewil kodi; kendo ok gidewi. Asegoyi mana ka jasigu kendo kumi mana ka ngʼama kwiny, nikech ketho mari duongʼ kendo richoni ngʼeny.
All your lovers have forgotten about you; they don't bother looking for you anymore, because I have beaten you as if I were your enemy, the discipline of a cruel person, because of how wicked you are, because of your many sins.
15 Angʼo momiyo iywak kuom adhondi, to in-gi rem ma ok thiedhre? Asekumou kamano nikech richou ngʼeny, kendo nikech timbeu maricho lich.
Why are you crying over your wound? You pain can't be cured. I did this to you because of how wicked you are, because of your many sins.
16 “‘To jogo duto motiekou notieki; wasiku duto noter e twech. Jogo momayou nomagi; jogo moketonu obadho anaketnegi obadho.
Even so, everyone who destroys you will be destroyed. All your enemies, every last one, will be sent into exile. Those who plundered you will be plundered, and all who robbed you will be robbed.
17 Anamiyi ngima maber kendo anathiedh adhondeni,’ Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho, ‘nikech iluongi ni ngʼama owit oko, Sayun maonge ngʼama dewo.’
But I will give you back your health and heal your wounds, declares the Lord, because people say you've been abandoned and that no one cares about you, Zion.
18 “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “‘Anaduog mwandu mag hembe Jakobo kendo abed gi ngʼwono e kuondege mag dak; dala maduongʼ noger kendo e kuondege mano okethe, kendo kar dak ruoth noger e kare malongʼo.
This is what the Lord says: I will bring Jacob's descendants back to their homes and have mercy on their families. The city will be rebuilt on top of its ruins, and the palace once again stand where it should.
19 Jogi nodwok erokamano ka giwer kendo ka gikok gi mor. Anamed kwan mag-gi, kendo ok ginidog chien; mi anamigi duongʼ, kendo ok nokawgi matin.
People will be singing songs of thanks, the sounds of celebration. I will increase their number—they will not become less. I will honor them—they will not be treated as insignificant.
20 Nyithindgi nochal kaka e ndalo machon, kendo anagur anywolagi motegno, mi anakum jogo duto ma thirogi.
Their children will be looked after like they used to be. I will make their nation strong again, and punish anyone who attacks them.
21 Jatendgi nobed achiel kuomgi; jatendgi noa e diergi. Anakele machiegni kendo enobi machiegni koda, nimar en ngʼa manyalo chiwore, mondo obed machiegni koda?’” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.
Their leader will be from their own country, their ruler will be chosen from among them. I will invite him to come close to me, and he will do so, for would anyone dare to approach me without being asked? declares the Lord.
22 “‘Omiyo unubed joga, kendo anabed Nyasachu.’”
You will be my people, and I will be your God.
23 Neuru, apaka mar Jehova Nyasaye biro mwomore gi mirimbe, yamo mafuto malich ka futo e wiye joma timbegi mono.
Watch out! The Lord has sent out a furious storm, a tornado swirling around the heads of the wicked.
24 Mirima mager mar Jehova Nyasaye ok nodog chien nyaka one ni ochopo dwaro mar chunye. E ndalo ma biro iniwinj tiend wachni.
The Lord's anger won't fade until he's finished doing everything he wants. Only then will you really understand.
