Jeremia 44
1 Wachni nobiro ne Jeremia kuom jo-Yahudi modak Misri Mamwalo man Migdol, Tapanhes gi Memfis kod Misri Mamalo:
This is the word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews living in the land of Egypt —in Migdol, Tahpanhes, and Memphis —and in the land of Pathros:
2 “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: Ne ineno masira malich mane akelo kuom Jerusalem kod kuom dala duto mag Juda. Kawuono gidongʼ gunda kendo okethgi,
“This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: You have seen all the disaster that I brought against Jerusalem and all the cities of Judah; and behold, they lie today in ruins and desolation
3 nikech timbe maricho magisetimo. Negimiya mirima ma iya owangʼ kuom wangʼo ubani kendo lamo nyiseche manono ma gin kata un kata wuoneu ne ok ongʼeyo.
because of the evil they have done. They provoked Me to anger by continuing to burn incense and to serve other gods that neither they nor you nor your fathers ever knew.
4 Ne asiko ka aoro jotichna ma jonabi, mane giwacho ni, ‘Kik utim gima mononi ma ok ahero!’
Yet I sent you all My servants the prophets again and again, saying: ‘Do not do this detestable thing that I hate.’
5 To ne ok gichiko itgi kata winja; ne ok gilokore gia e timbegi mamono kata weyo wangʼo ubani ne nyiseche manono.
But they did not listen or incline their ears; they did not turn from their wickedness or stop burning incense to other gods.
6 Emomiyo, mirimba mager nool oko; mine olandore kobebni e dala mag Juda kod yore mag Jerusalem kendo moketogi gibed gundini mokethore kaka gin kawuono.
Therefore My wrath and anger poured out and burned in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, so that they have become the desolate ruin they are today.
7 “Koro ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: Angʼo momiyo ukelo masira malich kuomu ka uweyo chwo gi mon, rawere gi nyithindo mayom, makoro onge joma otony koa kuom jo-Juda?
So now, this is what the LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Why are you doing such great harm to yourselves by cutting off from Judah man and woman, child and infant, leaving yourselves without a remnant?
8 Angʼo momiyo uwangʼo iya gi gik ma lwetu oloso, uwangʼo ubani ne nyiseche manono ei Misri, kama osebiroe mondo udagie? Unutiekru kendu uwegi ka uloso ne un uwegi gigo mag kwongʼ gi ajara e dier ogendini duto manie piny.
Why are you provoking Me to anger by the work of your hands by burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, where you have gone to reside? As a result, you will be cut off and will become an object of cursing and reproach among all the nations of the earth.
9 Dibed ni wiu osewil gi timbe maricho mane wuoneu otimo kod mago mane otim gi ruodhi kaachiel gi monde ruodhi mag Juda to gi richo mane utimo kaachiel gi mondeu e piny Juda kod e yore mag Jerusalem?
Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers and of the kings of Judah and their wives, as well as the wickedness that you and your wives committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
10 Nyaka chil kawuono pod ok gibolore kata chiwo luor, bende pod ok girito chikena gi buchena mane amiyou kaachiel gi wuoneu.
To this day they have not humbled themselves or shown reverence, nor have they followed My instruction or the statutes that I set before you and your fathers.
11 “Emomiyo, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: Aramo chuth ni nyaka akel masira kuomu kendo atiek Juda duto.
Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I will set My face to bring disaster and to cut off all Judah.
12 Anakaw jo-Juda modongʼ mane oramo ni nyaka dhi Misri mondo gidak kanyo. Giduto ginirum Misri; noneg-gi gi ligangla kata ginitho nikech kech. Kochakore ngʼat matin nyaka ngʼat maduongʼ, noneg-gi gi ligangla kata gi kech. Ginibed gir kwongʼ kod bwok, joma ongʼadnegi bura kendo mijaro.
And I will take away the remnant of Judah who have resolved to go to the land of Egypt to reside there; they will meet their end. They will all fall by the sword or be consumed by famine. From the least to the greatest, they will die by sword or famine; and they will become an object of cursing and horror, of vilification and reproach.
13 Anakum joma odak Misri gi ligangla, kech kod masira, mana kaka nakumo Jerusalem.
I will punish those who live in the land of Egypt, just as I punished Jerusalem, by sword and famine and plague,
14 Onge jo-Juda mane odongʼ mane odhi dak Misri ma notony kata kwo ma ok odwogo e piny Juda, ma gigombo duogoe kendo dakie; onge manoduogi makmana ji moko manok manoringo lweny.”
so that none of the remnant of Judah who have gone to reside in Egypt will escape or survive to return to the land of Judah, where they long to return and live; for none will return except a few fugitives.”
15 Eka chwo duto mane ongʼeyo ni mondegi wangʼo ubani ne nyiseche manono, kaachiel gi mon duto mane ni kanyo, ne gin oganda mangʼeny, kod ji duto manodak e piny Misri Mamwalo kod Mamalo, nowachone Jeremia niya,
Then all the men who knew that their wives were burning incense to other gods, and all the women standing by—a great assembly—along with all the people living in the land of Egypt and in Pathros, said to Jeremiah,
16 “Ok wanawinj wach miwachonwa e nying Jehova Nyasaye!
“As for the word you have spoken to us in the name of the LORD, we will not listen to you!
17 Adier wanatim gik moko duto mane wawacho ni wanatim: Wanawangʼ ubani ne Ruoth ma Dhako mar Polo kendo wanamiye misango miolo piny mana kaka wan kod wuonewa, ruodhiwa kod jotendwa notimo e dala mag Juda kod yore mag Jerusalem. E kindeno ne wan gi chiemo mathoth kendo ne wamewo kendo ne onge hinyruok moro amora kuomwa.
Instead, we will do everything we vowed to do: We will burn incense to the Queen of Heaven and offer drink offerings to her, just as we, our fathers, our kings, and our officials did in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. At that time we had plenty of food and good things, and we saw no disaster.
18 To nyaka aa kinde mane waweyo wangʼo ubani ne Ruoth ma Dhako mar Polo kendo chiwone misango miolo piny, wasebedo maonge gimoro amora kendo ligangla gi kech osenegowa.”
But from the time we stopped burning incense to the Queen of Heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked everything and have been perishing by sword and famine.”
19 Mon-go nomedo wacho niya, “Kane wawangʼo ubani ne Ruoth ma Dhako mar Polo kendo chiwone misango miolo piny, donge chwowa nongʼeyo nine waloso kek machalo gi kite kendo wachiwone misango miolo piny?”
“Moreover,” said the women, “when we burned incense to the Queen of Heaven and poured out drink offerings to her, was it without our husbands’ knowledge that we made sacrificial cakes in her image and poured out drink offerings to her?”
20 Eka Jeremia nowachone ji duto, chwo kaachiel gi mon, mane dwoke niya,
Then Jeremiah said to all the people, both men and women, who were answering him,
21 “Uparo ni Jehova Nyasaye ne ok ongʼeyo wach misengini ma un gi kwereu, kod ruodhiu gi jotendu kaachiel gi jopinyu duto ne otimo e miech Juda kendo e yore mag Jerusalem? Koso uparo ni wiye osewil kodgi.
“As for the incense you burned in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem—you, your fathers, your kings, your officials, and the people of the land—did the LORD not remember and bring this to mind?
22 Ka Jehova Nyasaye ne ok nyal dhi nyime gineno timbeu mamono kod gigo magath mane utimo, pinyu nokwongʼ kendo odongʼ gunda maonge gima odakie, mana kaka en kawuono.
So the LORD could no longer endure the evil deeds and detestable acts you committed, and your land became a desolation, a horror, and an object of cursing, without inhabitant, as it is this day.
23 Nikech usewangʼo ubani kendo usetimo richo ne Jehova Nyasaye kendo pod ok uluore kata luwo chikene kata puonj mage kod dwaro mage, masirani osebiro kuomu, mana kaka unene sani.”
Because you burned incense and sinned against the LORD, and did not obey the voice of the LORD or walk in His instruction, His statutes, and His testimonies, this disaster has befallen you, as you see today.”
24 Eka Jeremia nowachone ji duto, kaachiel gi mon, “Winjuru wach Jehova Nyasaye, un jo-Juda duto modak Misri.
Then Jeremiah said to all the people, including all the women, “Hear the word of the LORD, all those of Judah who are in the land of Egypt.
25 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: Un gi mondu usenyiso gi timbeu gik mane usingoru ka uwacho ni, ‘Nyaka wachop singruok mane waketo mar wangʼo ubani kendo chiwo misango miolo piny ne Ruoth ma Dhako mar Polo.’ “Dhiuru nyime, kendo utim gima ne usingo! Rituru singruoku!
This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: As for you and your wives, you have spoken with your mouths and fulfilled with your hands your words: ‘We will surely perform our vows that we have made to burn incense to the Queen of Heaven and to pour out drink offerings to her.’ Go ahead, then, do what you have promised! Keep your vows!
26 To winj wach Jehova Nyasaye, un jo-Yahudi duto modak Misri: ‘Akwongʼora gi nyinga maduongʼ,’ Jehova Nyasaye owacho, ‘ni onge ngʼato angʼata moa Juda modak Misri manochak oluong nyinga kata kwongʼore niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto.”
Nevertheless, hear the word of the LORD, all you people of Judah living in Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by My great name, says the LORD, that never again will any man of Judah living in the land of Egypt invoke My name or say, ‘As surely as the Lord GOD lives.’
27 Angʼiyo kaka dakelnegi hinyruok, to ok kelonegi ber; nimar un jo-Yahudi man Misri nonegu gi ligangla kod kech nyaka tieku pep.
I am watching over them for harm and not for good, and every man of Judah who is in the land of Egypt will meet his end by sword or famine, until they are finished off.
28 Jogo mane otonyne ligangla kendo odwogo e piny Juda koa Misri nobed manok. Eka jo-Juda duto mane odongʼ mane obiro dak Misri nongʼe ni en wach ngʼa matiyo, mara koso margi.
Those who escape the sword will return from Egypt to Judah, few in number, and the whole remnant of Judah who went to dwell in the land of Egypt will know whose word will stand, Mine or theirs!
29 “‘Ma ema nobednu ranyisi ni anakumu kaeni, mondo omi ungʼe ni gima asechano timonu notimre.’
This will be a sign to you that I will punish you in this place, declares the LORD, so that you may know that My threats of harm against you will surely stand.
30 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: ‘Anachiw Farao Hofra ruodh Misri ne wasike madwaro ngimane, mana kaka ne achiwo Zedekia ruodh Juda ne Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon jasike mane dwaro ngimane.’”
This is what the LORD says: Behold, I will deliver Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hands of his enemies who seek his life, just as I delivered Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the enemy who was seeking his life.”
