Jeremia 34

1 Ka Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon kod jolweny mage duto gi pinjeruodhi duto gi ji duto mane ni e gwengʼ mane orito ne kedo gi Jerusalem kod dala mane olwore duto, wachni nobiro ne Jeremia koa ir Jehova Nyasaye:

The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, with all his army, all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem and against all its cities, saying:

2 “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, wacho: Dhi ir Zedekia ruodh Juda kendo inyise kama, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Achiegni chiwo dala maduongʼni ne ruodh Babulon, kendo enowangʼe pep.

“The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Go, and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, the LORD says, “Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon and he will burn it with fire.

3 Ok initony ngangʼ e wachni to adiera enomaki kendo nochiwi ne en. Inine ruodh Babulon gi wengeni iwuon, kendo enowuo kodi wangʼ gi wangʼ kendo inidhi Babulon.

You won’t escape out of his hand, but will surely be taken and delivered into his hand. Your eyes will see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he will speak with you mouth to mouth. You will go to Babylon.”’

4 “‘Kata kamano winj singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye, yaye Zedekia ruodh Juda. Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho kuomi: Ok enonegi gi ligangla;

“Yet hear the LORD’s word, O Zedekiah king of Judah. The LORD says concerning you, ‘You won’t die by the sword.

5 initho gi kwe. Kaka ji noloso mach mar liel mar miyo wuonu luor; ruodhi machon mane otelo nyimi, mondo omi gilos mach mar miyi luor kendo mar ywak, “Aa, yaye jatelo!” An awuon aketo singoni, Jehova Nyasaye owacho.’”

You will die in peace; and with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so they will make a burning for you. They will lament you, saying, “Ah Lord!” for I have spoken the word,’ says the LORD.”

6 Eka Jeremia janabi nonyiso Zedekia ruodh Juda gigo duto e Jerusalem,

Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,

7 sa mane jolweny mar ruodh Babulon ne kedo gi Jerusalem kod mier madongo mamoko mag Juda mane pod odongʼ, ma gin Lakish kod Azeka. Magi kende e mier madongo mochiel motegno gohinga mane odongʼ e Juda.

when the king of Babylon’s army was fighting against Jerusalem and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish and against Azekah; for these alone remained of the cities of Judah as fortified cities.

8 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Jeremia bangʼ ka Zedekia noloso winjruok gi ji duto man Jerusalem mondo oland ni wasumbini owe thuolo.

The word came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them,

9 Ngʼato ka ngʼato ne onego we misumbane ma ja-Hibrania, madichwo kod ma dhako; onge ngʼama ne dongʼ gi ja-Yahudi wadgi e twech.

that every man should let his male servant, and every man his female servant, who is a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free, that no one should make bondservants of them, of a Jew his brother.

10 Omiyo jotelo duto kod ji mane odonjo e winjruokni noyie ni giniwe thuolo wasumbini mag-gi machwo kod mamon kendo ok ginibed e twech kendo. Ne giyie, kendo ne giwegi thuolo.

All the princes and all the people obeyed who had entered into the covenant, that everyone should let his male servant and everyone his female servant go free, that no one should make bondservants of them any more. They obeyed and let them go,

11 To bangʼe negiloko pachgi mi gikawo kendo wasumbinigi mane giseweyo thuolo mi giketogi gibedo wasumbini kendo.

but afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids whom they had let go free to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.

12 Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Jeremia kama:

Therefore the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

13 “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, wacho: Ne aketo winjruok gi kwereu mane agologi gia Misri, e piny mar bedo misumba. Ne awacho ni,

“The LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying:

14 ‘E higa mar abiriyo ka higa mar abiriyo ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu nyaka we ja-Hibrania wadgi thuolo ma osebedo katiyone. Bangʼ ka osetiyone kuom higni auchiel, nyaka iweye thuolo.’ Wuoneu, kata kamano, ne ok owinja kata luoro chikna.

At the end of seven years, every man of you shall release his brother who is a Hebrew, who has been sold to you, and has served you six years. You shall let him go free from you. But your fathers didn’t listen to me, and didn’t incline their ear.

15 Kinde mosekadho machiegni, ne ikwayo weruok kendo ne itimo gima nikare e nyim wangʼa: Un duto ne uyie weyo oweteu thuolo. Bende ne utimo singruok e nyima e ot motingʼo Nyinga.

You had now turned, and had done that which is right in my eyes, in every man proclaiming liberty to his neighbor. You had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name;

16 To koro uselokoru kendo usedwanyo nyinga; uduto usekawo wasumbini machwo kod mamon mane useweyo thuolo mondo gidhi kama gidwaro. Usechunogi mondo gibed wasumbini magu kendo.

but you turned and profaned my name, and every man caused his servant and every man his handmaid, whom you had let go free at their pleasure, to return. You brought them into subjection, to be to you for servants and for handmaids.’”

17 “Emomiyo, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Pod ok uluora; pod ok uyie weyo oweteu thuolo. Omiyo koro awacho mondo owenu thuolo mondo onegu gi ligangla, masiche kod kech. Anami ogendini manie piny duto bedo gibuok ka ginenou.

Therefore the LORD says: “You have not listened to me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbor. Behold, I proclaim to you a liberty,” says the LORD, “to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine. I will make you be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth.

18 Chwo duto ma oseketho winjruokna kendo pod ok ochopo winjruok mane giloso e nyima, nakawgi ka nyaroya mane gingʼado nyadiriyo kendo giwuotho e kind lemogo.

I will give the men who have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before me when they cut the calf in two and passed between its parts:

19 Jotend Juda gi Jerusalem, jotelo mag agola, jodolo kod ji duto mag pinyni mane owuotho e kind lemo ariyogo,

the princes of Judah, the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, the priests, and all the people of the land, who passed between the parts of the calf.

20 anachiwgi ne wasikgi madwaro ngimagi. Ringregi motho nobed chiemb winy mafuyo e kor polo kod le manie piny.

I will even give them into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of those who seek their life. Their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals of the earth.

21 “Anachiw Zedekia ruodh Juda kod jotende ne wasike madwaro ngimagi, ne jolwenj ruodh Babulon, mosengʼanyo oa kuomu.

“I will give Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes into the hands of their enemies, into the hands of those who seek their life and into the hands of the king of Babylon’s army, who has gone away from you.

22 Anachiw chik, Jehova Nyasaye wacho, kendo anadwog-gi e dala maduongʼni. Giniked kode, ginikawe kendo giwangʼe pep. Kendo anaketh dala mag Juda mondo kik ngʼato angʼata dag kanyo.”

Behold, I will command,” says the LORD, “and cause them to return to this city. They will fight against it, take it, and burn it with fire. I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.”
