< Jeremia 30 >

1 Ma e wach mane obirone Jeremia koa kuom Jehova Nyasaye:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, wacho: ‘Ndik e kitabu weche duto masewachoni.’
“[I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [say they belong to], am telling you that you should write down everything that I have said to 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.”
[I want you to know that] some day I will free my people, [the people of] Israel and Judah, from being slaves [in Babylon]. I will bring them back to this land that I gave to their ancestors, and this land will belong to them again. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
4 Magi e weche mane Jehova Nyasaye owacho kuom Israel gi Juda:
Yahweh gave [to me] another message concerning [the people of] Israel and Judah.
5 “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “‘Ywak mar luoro winjore, en bwok malich, to ok kwe.
This is what he said: “I hear people screaming because they are terrified [DOU]; there is no peace [in the land].
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?
But think about this: Men certainly do not [RHQ] give birth to babies. Therefore, why do strong men stand there, with their faces very white/pale, with their hands pressed against their stomachs, like women who are about to give birth to babies?
7 Mano kaka odiechiengʼno nobed malich! Onge manochal kode. Enobed kinde mag chandruok ne Jakobo, to norese.’”
[Terrible things will soon happen]; that will be a terrible day! There has never been such a time. It will be a time when [my] Israeli people will experience great trouble, but [finally] they will be saved [from their sufferings].”
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.
The Commander of the armies of angels says this: “At that time [it will be as though] I will sever/cut the ropes [that are around my people], and I will free them from being (slaves/forced to do what the King of Babylon wants them to do) [MET]. People in other countries will no longer be their bosses.
9 To kata kamano ginitine Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi kod Daudi ruodhgi, ma anamigi.
My people will [again] serve me, Yahweh, their God, and [they will serve a king who is a descendant of] King David; [they will serve the king] whom I will appoint for 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.
So, [you people of] Israel who serve me, do not be dismayed/worried [now], because [some day] I will bring you back from distant places; I will bring your descendants [back home] from the land to which they were exiled. [Then you] Israeli people will [again] live peacefully and safely, and there will not be any [nation] that will cause you to be terrified.
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, Yahweh, say that I will be with you and will rescue you; I will completely destroy the nations to which I have scattered you. But I will not completely destroy you. I will punish you [for your many sins], but I will punish you [only] as severely as you deserve: I would be doing wrong if I did not punish you at all.”
12 “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “‘Adhola mari ok nyal thiedhi, hinyruok mari okalo chango.
Yahweh [also] says this: “[You have (suffered very much/endured many disasters)]; [it is as though] you have a terrible wound that cannot be cured.
13 Onge ngʼama nyalo chiwo kwayoni kari, kendo onge gima nyalo thiedhoni adhola, kata manyalo changi.
There is no one to help you, no one to put a bandage on your wound. There is no [medicine that will] heal 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 allies [MET] have deserted you and they do not want to help you [any more]. [It is true that] I have punished you severely, [like your] enemies would wound you, because you have committed many sins and you are very guilty.
15 Angʼo momiyo iywak kuom adhondi, to in-gi rem ma ok thiedhre? Asekumou kamano nikech richou ngʼeny, kendo nikech timbeu maricho lich.
[Because that is true], why do you protest about my punishing you, [as though I had caused] a wound that could not be cured [RHQ]? It was necessary for me to punish you, because you had committed many sins and you were very guilty.
16 “‘To jogo duto motiekou notieki; wasiku duto noter e twech. Jogo momayou nomagi; jogo moketonu obadho anaketnegi obadho.
But [some day] all those who [are trying to] destroy you will be destroyed; all your enemies will be exiled [to other nations]. All those who have stolen things from you will have their [valuable] possessions stolen, and all those who attack you will be attacked.
17 Anamiyi ngima maber kendo anathiedh adhondeni,’ Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho, ‘nikech iluongi ni ngʼama owit oko, Sayun maonge ngʼama dewo.’
[Everyone] says that you are (outcasts/people that they no longer associate with), and that [you live in] Jerusalem, a city that no one cares about.” But Yahweh says, “I will heal your injuries/wounds and cause you to be healthy again.”
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 Yahweh says: “I will bring the people of Israel back from the lands to which they were taken and enable them to possess their land and their houses again. [When that happens], Jerusalem will be rebuilt on top of its ruins, and the [king’s] palace will be rebuilt to be like it was before.
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 [again] sing joyfully to thank [me], and I will cause there to be more people [in Jerusalem], not fewer; I will cause them to be honored, not despised.
20 Nyithindgi nochal kaka e ndalo machon, kendo anagur anywolagi motegno, mi anakum jogo duto ma thirogi.
Their children will [prosper] like they did before. I will cause them to be a group of people [who worship] me, and I will punish any [nation] that oppresses 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.
One of their own people will be their king, and I will invite him to come close to me [to worship me], because no one [RHQ] would (dare/have courage) to come close to me [if I did not invite him].
22 “‘Omiyo unubed joga, kendo anabed Nyasachu.’”
You [Israeli people] 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.
Yahweh will punish [MTY] [your enemies]; [it will be like a great] storm; it will come down [like] a whirlwind, swirling around the heads of wicked people.
24 Mirima mager mar Jehova Nyasaye ok nodog chien nyaka one ni ochopo dwaro mar chunye. E ndalo ma biro iniwinj tiend wachni.
He will not stop being angry until he completely accomplishes [all] that he has planned. In the future, you will understand [all] of this [clearly].
