Jeremia 36
1 E higa mar angʼwen mar Jehoyakim wuod Josia ruodh Juda, wachni nobiro ne Jeremia koa ir Jehova Nyasaye:
When Jehoiakim had been the king of Judah for almost four years, Yahweh gave this message to me:
2 “Kaw kitabu kendo indikie weche duto ma asewacho kuom Israel gi Juda kod ogendini mamoko duto kochakore kinde mane achako wuoyo kodi e ndalo loch Josia nyaka sani.
“Get a scroll, and write on it the messages that I have given to you regarding Israel, Judah, and the other nations. Write all of the messages, starting from the time that I gave you the first message, when Josiah was the king, up until now.
3 Sa moro ka jo-Juda owinjo kuom masichegi ma achano mar kelo kuomgi, to giduto ginilokre giwe yoregi mamono; eka anawenegi timbegi mamono kod richo mag-gi.”
When the people of Judah hear [again] about all the disasters that I plan to cause them to experience, perhaps each one of them will repent. If they do that, I will be able to forgive them for the wrong/evil things that they have done.”
4 Omiyo Jeremia noluongo Baruk wuod Neria, kendo Jeremia ne wachone to ondiko weche duto mane Jehova Nyasaye osewachone, Baruk nondikogi e kitabu.
[So] I summoned Baruch, the son of Neraiah. Then, as I dictated to him all the messages that Yahweh had spoken to me, he wrote them on a scroll.
5 Eka Jeremia nokone Baruk niya, “An otama; ok anyal dhi e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
Then I said to him, “I am not allowed to [leave here and] go to the temple.
6 Omiyo in dhi e od Jehova Nyasaye chiengʼ lamo gi tweyo chiemo kendo isomne ji koa e kitabuni weche Jehova Nyasaye mane indiko sa mane awachoni to indiko. Somnegi ne jo-Juda duto ma biro koa e miechgi.
So, you go [to the temple] on the [next] day when the people are (fasting/abstaining from food), and read to them the messages from Yahweh that you wrote while I dictated them to you. Read them [aloud] to all the people [who are there, including] the people of Judah who come [there] from their towns.
7 Sa moro ginikel kwayogi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kendo giduto gilokre giwe yoregi mamono, nimar ich wangʼ gi mirima mikelone jogi gi Jehova Nyasaye duongʼ.”
Perhaps they will turn from their evil behavior and request Yahweh [to act mercifully toward them]. [They must do that, ] because Yahweh is very angry with them and has threatened to punish them severely.”
8 Baruk wuod Neria notimo gik moko duto mane Jeremia janabi onyise mondo otim; e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye nosomo weche Jehova Nyasaye koa e kitabu.
Baruch did what I told him to do. He [went to the temple and] read [to the people] all those messages from Yahweh.
9 E dwe mar ochiko e higa mar abich mar loch Jehoyakim wuod Josia ruodh Juda, kinde mar tweyo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye nolandne ji duto manie Jerusalem kod jogo mane obiro koa e dala mag Juda.
He did it in December on a day when their leaders had proclaimed that all the people in Jerusalem and the people who had come there from [other] towns in Judah should fast to [please/honor] Yahweh. [It was when] Jehoiakim had been king for almost five years.
10 Kochakore e agola mar Gemaria wuod Shafan ma jagoro, mane nitiere e laru man malo e kar donjo mar Dhorangach Manyien mar hekalu, Baruk nosomone ji duto e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye weche Jeremia koa e kitabu.
Baruch read to all the people the messages [that he had written] on the scroll. [He read them while he was] in the temple, in the room where Gemariah stayed. He was the son of Shaphan, [who had previously been the king’s] secretary. That room was close to the upper courtyard [of the temple], near the entrance to the temple that is [called] the New Gate.
11 Ka Mikaya wuod Gemaria, ma wuod Shafan, nowinjo weche duto mag Jehova Nyasaye moa e kitabu,
When Micaiah, who was the son of Gemariah and grandson of Shaphan, heard those messages from Yahweh,
12 nodhi e agola mar jagoro mane ni e kar dak ruoth, kama ne jotelo nobetie: Elishama ma jagoro, Delaya wuod Shemaya, Elnathan wuod Akbor, Gemaria wuod Shafan, Zedekia wuod Hanania, kod jotelo mamoko duto.
he went down to the secretary’s room in the palace, where all the king’s officials were meeting. Elishama the [king’s] secretary [was there]. Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, Elnathan the son of Acbor, Gemariah, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the [other] officials [of the king were also there].
13 Bangʼ ka Mikaya ne osenyisogi gik moko duto mane osewinjo ka Baruk somo ne ji koa e kitabu,
When Micaiah told them about the messages that Baruch had been reading to the people,
14 jotelogi duto nooro Jehudi wuod Nethania, ma wuod Shelemia, wuod Kushi, mondo owach ne Baruk niya, “Kel kitabu ma isesomone ji kendo ibi.” Omiyo Baruk wuod Neria nodhi irgi gi kitabuno e lwete.
the officials sent Jehudi, who was the son of Nethaniah and grandson of Shelemiah and great-grandson of Cushi, to tell Baruch to come [and read the messages to them, also]. So Baruch took the scroll and went to them.
15 Negiwachone, “Bed piny, kiyie, kendo isomnwago.” Omiyo Baruk nosomonegi.
They said to him, “Please sit down and read it [to us].” So Baruch did what they requested.
16 Kane gi winjo wechegi duto, ne gingʼiyore giwegi ka giluor kendo giwachone Baruk niya, “Nyaka wanyis wechegi duto ne ruoth.”
After they had heard all the messages, they were afraid. They looked at each other and [then] they said, “We must tell these messages to the king!”
17 Eka negipenjo Baruk niya, “Nyiswane, ere kaka ne indiko gigi duto? Jeremia ema nosomoni eka indikogi koso?”
Then they asked Baruch, “How did you get this scroll? Did Jeremiah dictate to you all the messages on this scroll?”
18 Baruk nodwoko niya, “En kamano, nowachona wechegi duto to nandikogi, kendo ne andiko gi wino e kitabu.”
Baruch replied, “[Yes], Jeremiah dictated them to me, and I wrote them with ink on this scroll.”
19 Eka jotelogo nonyiso Baruk, “In kaachiel gi Jeremia, dhiuru kendo upondi. Kik uwe ngʼato ngʼe kuma untie.”
Then the officials told Baruch, “You and Jeremiah must both hide. Do not tell anyone where you are!”
20 Bangʼ kane giseketo kitabu ei od Elishama jagoro, negidhi ir ruoth e laru kendo giwachone gimoro amora.
They put the scroll in the room of Elishama, the king’s secretary. Then they went to the king, who was in the courtyard, and reported to him everything [that Baruch had read to them].
21 Ruoth nooro Jehudi mondo okel kitabuno, kendo Jehudi nokele koa kode ei od Elishama jagoro kendo nosomene ruoth kod jotelo duto kochungʼ e bathe.
Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll. Jehudi brought it from Elishama’s room and read it to the king, while all the [king’s] officials were standing there.
22 Ne en dwe mar ochiko kendo ruoth nobet ei ot mar oyo mach e kinde mar chwiri.
It was in the cold season, and the king was in a part of the palace where he stayed when it was cold. He was sitting in front of a fire [to keep/be warm].
23 Ka Jehudi nosesomo laini adek kata angʼwen mar kitabuno, ruoth nongʼadogi gi pala mabith kendo owitogi e kar hoyo mach, nyaka kitabuno duto nowangʼ e mach.
Each time Jehudi finished reading three or four columns, the king cut off that section of the scroll with a knife and threw it into the fire. He did that, section by section, until the entire scroll was burned up.
24 Ruoth gi jogo duto mane en godo mane owinjo wechegi ne ok obedo gi luoro moro, kata lepgi ne ok giyiecho.
Neither the king nor his officials showed that they were afraid [that God would punish them]. They did not tear their clothes [to show that they were sorry for what they had done].
25 Kata obedo ni Elnathan, Delaya kod Gemaria nokwero ruoth mondo kik wangʼ kitabuno, to ne ok onyal winjogi.
Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah pleaded with the king not to burn the scroll, but he did not pay any attention.
26 Makmana, ruoth nomiyo Jeramel, ma wuod ruoth, Seraya wuod Azriel gi Shelemia wuod Abdil chik, mondo omak Baruk jandiko kod Jeremia janabi. To Jehova Nyasaye nosepandogi.
Then the king commanded his son Jerahmeel, Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to arrest Baruch and me. But [they were unable to do that because] Yahweh had hidden us.
27 Bangʼ ka ruoth nosewangʼo kitabu mane otingʼo gik mane Baruk ondiko ka Jeremia somone, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Jeremia:
After the king had burned the scroll on which were written the messages that I had dictated to Baruch, Yahweh said this to me:
28 “Kaw kitabu machielo kendo indikie weche duto mane ni e kitabu mokwongo-cha, mane Jehoyakim ruodh Juda owangʼo.
“Get another scroll, and [tell Baruch to] write everything again, the same messages that he had written on the scroll that the king burned.
29 Bende nyis Jehoyakim ruodh Juda ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Ne iwangʼo kitabucha kendo iwacho niya, “Angʼo momiyo ne indiko kuome ni ruodh Babulon enobi kendo keth pinyni kendo ogol ji kaachiel gi le kuome?”
[Then go to] the king and say to him, ‘Yahweh says this: “You burned the scroll [because you did not like] what was written on it, that the king of Babylon would surely [RHQ] come [with his army] and destroy this land and get rid of all the people and the animals.
30 Emomiyo, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho kuom Jehoyakim ruodh Juda: Ok nobed gi ngʼama bedo e kom duongʼ Daudi; ringre nowit oko kendo nomo oko ne liet mar odiechiengʼ kendo ne thoo mar otieno.
Now this is what [I], Yahweh, say about [you], Jehoiakim: 'None of your descendants will rule this kingdom [MTY]. Your corpse will be thrown out [on the ground and not be buried]; it will be under the hot [sun] during the days and [struck by] frost during the nights.
31 Anakume gi nyithinde kod jogo marite nikech timbegi maricho; anakel kuomgi kod jogo modak Jerusalem gi jo-Juda kit masira moro amora mane asechanonegi, nikech gitamore winja.’”
I will punish you and your family and your officials for their sins. And I will cause the people of Jerusalem and the people of the [other] towns in Judah to experience all the disasters that I promised, because you all would not pay attention [to what I said]!'” '”
32 Omiyo Jeremia nokawo kitabu machielo kendo omiye Baruk wuod Neria jandik muma, kendo kaka Jeremia ne ohulo, Baruk nondiko e kitabuno weche duto mar kitabu mane Jehoyakim ruodh Juda nosewangʼo e mach kendo weche mangʼeny machalre nomed kuomgi.
So I took another scroll, and again I dictated the messages to Baruch. He wrote everything that had been written on the [other] scroll, the one that King Jehoiakim had burned in the fire. [But this time, I] added more messages.
