Jeremia 44
1 Wachni nobiro ne Jeremia kuom jo-Yahudi modak Misri Mamwalo man Migdol, Tapanhes gi Memfis kod Misri Mamalo:
The word came to Jeremiah concerning all the Judeans who lived in the land of Egypt, the ones staying in Migdol, Tahpanhes, Memphis, and in Upper Egypt:
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,
“Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says, 'You yourselves have seen all the disasters that I brought on Jerusalem and all the cities of Judah. See, they are ruins today. There is no one to live in them.
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.
This is because of the wicked things they did to offend me by going to burn incense and to worship other gods. These were gods that neither they themselves, nor you, nor your ancestors knew.'
4 Ne asiko ka aoro jotichna ma jonabi, mane giwacho ni, ‘Kik utim gima mononi ma ok ahero!’
So I repeatedly sent all of my servants the prophets to them. I sent them to say, 'Stop doing these abominable things 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. They refused to pay attention or turn from their wickedness in 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.
So my fury and my wrath were poured out and kindled a fire in the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem. So they became ruins and devastations, as at this present day.'
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 Yahweh, the God of hosts and the God of Israel, says this, 'Why are you doing great wickedness against yourselves? Why are you causing yourselves to be cut off from among Judah—men and women, children and babies? No remnant of you will be left.
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.
By your wickedness you have offended me with the deeds of your hands, by burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, where you have gone to live. You have gone there so that you will be destroyed, so that you will be a curse and a 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 committed by your ancestors and the wickedness committed by the kings of Judah and their wives? Have you forgotten the evil committed by yourselves and your wives in the land of Judah and 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 still are not humbled. They do not honor my law or decrees that I placed before them and their ancestors, nor do they walk in them.'
11 “Emomiyo, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: Aramo chuth ni nyaka akel masira kuomu kendo atiek Juda duto.
Therefore Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, 'See, I am about to set my face against you to bring disaster to you and to destroy all of 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.
For I will take the remnant of Judah that has set out to go to the land of Egypt to live there. I will do this so that they will all perish in the land of Egypt. They will fall by sword and famine. From the least to the greatest they will perish by sword and famine. They will die and will become an object of swearing, cursing, reproaching, and a horrible thing.
13 Anakum joma odak Misri gi ligangla, kech kod masira, mana kaka nakumo Jerusalem.
For I will punish the people inhabiting the land of Egypt just as I punished Jerusalem with the sword, with famine, and with the 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 live in the land of Egypt will escape or survive or return to the land of Judah, to which they desire to return and live; and none of them will return except a few who escaped from there.'”
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 who were in the great assembly, and all the people who were living in Lower and Upper Egypt, answered Jeremiah.
16 “Ok wanawinj wach miwachonwa e nying Jehova Nyasaye!
They said, “About the word that you have told us in Yahweh's name—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.
For we will certainly do all the things that we said we would do—burn incense to the queen of heaven and pour out drink offerings to her just as we, our ancestors, our kings, and our leaders did in the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem. Then we will be filled with food and will prosper, without experiencing any 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.”
When we refrained from doing these things, not offering incense to the queen of heaven and not pouring out drink offerings to her, we were all suffering poverty and were dying 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?”
The women said, “When we were making incense offerings before the queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, was it against our husbands that we did these things, making cakes in her image and pouring 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—to the men and women, and all the people who answered him—he proclaimed and said,
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.
“Did not Yahweh remember the incense that you burned in the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem—you and your ancestors, your kings and leaders, and the people of the land? For Yahweh calls this to mind; it comes to his thoughts.
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.
Then he was no longer able to bear it because of your wicked practices, because of the abominations that you did. Then your land became a desolation, a horror, and a curse so there was no longer an inhabitant as at this present 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 Yahweh, and because you would not listen to his voice, his law, his statutes, or his covenant decrees, this disaster against you has happened as at this present day.”
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 and all the women, “Hear the word of Yahweh, all 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!
Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, 'You and your wives both have said with your mouths and carried out with your hands what you said, “We will certainly carry out the vows that we made to worship the queen of heaven, to pour out drink offerings to her.” Now fulfill your vows; carry them out.'
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.”
So then, hear the word of Yahweh, all of Judah who are staying in the land of Egypt, 'See, I have sworn by my great name—says Yahweh. My name will no longer be called upon by the mouths of any of the men of Judah in all the land of Egypt, you who now say, “As the Lord Yahweh lives.”
27 Angʼiyo kaka dakelnegi hinyruok, to ok kelonegi ber; nimar un jo-Yahudi man Misri nonegu gi ligangla kod kech nyaka tieku pep.
See, I am watching over them for disaster and not for good. Every person of Judah in the land of Egypt will perish by sword and famine until they are all finished.
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.
Then the survivors of the sword will return from the land of Egypt to the land of Judah, only a small number of them. So all the remnant of Judah who went to the land of Egypt to live there 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 the sign for you—this is Yahweh's declaration—that I am setting against you in this place, so that you will know that my words will certainly attack you with disaster.'
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.’”
Yahweh says this, 'Look, I am about to give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies and into the hand of those who seek to kill him. It will the same as when I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, his enemy who sought his life.'”
