Jeremia 49
1 Wach kuom jo-Amon: Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Onge yawuowi e Israel? Oonge gi jarit girkeni mage? To kare angʼo momiyo Molek osekawo mwandu Gad? Angʼo momiyo joge odak e dalane?”
Of the children of Ammon. Thus saith the LORD: Hath Israel no sons? Hath he no heir? Why then doth Malcam take possession of Gad, and his people dwell in the cities thereof?
2 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “To ndalo biro, ma anagoye koko mar lweny mondo oked gi Raba mar jo-Amon; enobed pith mar kethruok, kendo gwenge molworogi nowangʼ. Eka Israel noriemb jogo mane oriembogi,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the children of Ammon; and it shall become a desolate mound, and her daughters shall be burned with fire; then shall Israel dispossess them that did dispossess him, saith the LORD.
3 “Dengi, yaye Heshbon, nimar Ai okethi! Ywaguru, yaye joma odak Raba! Rwakuru lepu mag ywak kendo uywagi; ringuru koni gi koni, e alwora mar dala, nimar Molek noter e twech, kaachiel gi jodolo mage kod jotelo mage.
Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai is undone; cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro among the folds; for Malcam shall go into captivity, his priests and his princes together.
4 Angʼo momiyo usungoru kuom holo mau, sungruok kuom holo mau manyak? Yaye nyako ma ok ja-ratiro, igeno kuom mwandu magi kendo iwacho niya, Ngʼama biro monja?
Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that didst trust in thy treasures: 'Who shall come unto me?'
5 Anakel luoro kuomu koa kuom jogo duto man butu,” Ruoth, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema owacho. “Un duto noriembu, kendo onge ngʼama nochok joma noringo moke.
Behold, I will bring a terror upon thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts, from all that are round about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth, and there shall be none to gather up him that wandereth.
6 “Kata kamano bangʼe, anaduog mwandu jo-Amon,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.
But afterward I will bring back the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith the LORD.
7 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho kuom Edom: “Bende pod nitie rieko ei Teman? To puonj oselalne jorieko? To rieko mag-gi osetop?
Of Edom. Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Is wisdom no more in Teman? Is counsel perished from the prudent? Is their wisdom vanished?
8 Lokreuru kendo uringi, ponduru e rogo mopandore, un joma odak Dedan, nimar anakel masira ne Esau e kinde ma anakume.
Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; For I do bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I shall punish him.
9 Ka jopon olemb mzabibu obiro iru, donge digiwe olemb mzabibu matin? Ka jokwoge obiro gotieno, donge gibiro kwalo mwandu magu kaka ginyalo?
If grape-gatherers came to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, would they not destroy till they had enough?
10 To analony Esau duk; anael kuondege malingʼ-lingʼ, mondo omi kik opondi. Nyithinde, wedene gi jomodak bute nolal nono, kendo ok nochak obed chutho.
But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself; his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.
11 Weuru kiye mau; anares ngimagi. Mondu duto ma chwogi otho, bende nyalo keto geno mag-gi kuoma.”
Leave thy fatherless children, I will rear them, and let thy widows trust in Me.
12 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Ka jogo ma ok owinjore omadh kikombe nyaka madhe, to angʼo momiyo ok anyal kumi? Ok initony ma ok okumi, to nyaka imadhe.”
For thus saith the LORD: Behold, they to whom it pertained not to drink of the cup shall assuredly drink; and art thou he that shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink.
13 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon, ni Bozra nokethi kendo nobed gir bwogo ji, gir jaro kendo nobed gir kwongʼ, kendo mieche duto nokethi chuth.”
For I have sworn by Myself, saith the LORD, that Bozrah shall become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.
14 Asewinjo wach koa kuom Jehova Nyasaye kama: Jaote oseor mondo owach ne ogendini niya, “Chokreuru mondo umonje! Chungʼuru malo wadhi e kedo!”
I have heard a message from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the nations: 'Gather yourselves together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.'
15 “Koro abiro miyo udok matin e kind ogendini, kendo joma ijaro e dier ji.
For, behold, I make thee small among the nations, and despised among men.
16 Luoro musemiyo ji kod sunga manie chunyu osewuondou, un jogo modak e kind lwendni, modak kuonde motingʼore gi malo mar got. Kata obedo ni ugero uteu mabor ka od otenga, koa kuno abiro dwokou piny,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, even the pride of thy heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill; though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the LORD.
17 “Edom nobed gima bwogo ji; jogo duto makalo bute nohum nono, kendo gininyiere ka gineno adhondene duto.”
And Edom shall become an astonishment; every one that passeth by it shall be astonished and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof.
18 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Mana kaka Sodom gi Gomora nokethi, kaachiel gi mier mokiewo kodgi, e kaka en bende nobedi maonge ngʼato angʼata modak kanyo kendo.
As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD, no man shall abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.
19 “Ka sibuor mabiro koa e bungu moyugno mar Jordan nyaka kar kwath man-gi lum, anariemb Edom oa e pinye kadiemo wangʼ. En ngʼa mowal manyalo yiero ne ma? En ngʼa machalo koda kendo manyalo chungʼ koda? Koso jakwath mane manyalo chungʼ koda?”
Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan against the strong habitation; for I will suddenly make him run away from it, and whoso is chosen, him will I appoint over it; for who is like Me? and who will appoint Me a time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before Me?
20 Emomiyo, winj gima Jehova Nyasaye osechano timo ne Edom, gima oseramo ni nyaka otimne joma odak Teman: Nyithi rombe bende nokaw; enoketh chuth kuondegi mag kwath nikech gin.
Therefore hear ye the counsel of the LORD, that He hath taken against Edom; and His purposes, that He hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall drag them away, surely their habitation shall be appalled at them.
21 Piny noyiengni kowinjo ni ologi; ywakgi nowinjre nyaka e Nam Makwar.
The earth quaketh at the noise of their fall; there is a cry, the noise whereof is heard in the Red Sea.
22 Ne! Otenga nofu kochomo malo kendo piny koyaro bwombene ewi Bozra. E odiechiengno chunje jolweny mag Edom nochal gi chuny dhako mamuoch kayo.
Behold, he shall come up and swoop down as the vulture, and spread out his wings against Bozrah; and the heart of the mighty men of Edom at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
23 Kuom Damaski: “Hamath gi Arpad luoro omako, nimar giwinjo wach marach, chunygi omoko, kendo nigi chandruok ka nam mogingore.
Of Damascus. Hamath is ashamed, and Arpad; for they have heard evil tidings, they are melted away; there is trouble in the sea; it cannot be quiet.
24 Damaski osebedo maonge teko, osea gi ngʼwech, kendo achiedh-nade osemake; lit gi rem osemake, kaka rem mar dhako mamuoch kayo.
Damascus is waxed feeble, she turneth herself to flee, and trembling hath seized on her; anguish and pangs have taken hold of her, as of a woman in travail.
25 Angʼo momiyo ok osejwangʼ dala maduongʼ mongʼere; dala mamor godo?
'How is the city of praise left unrepaired, the city of my joy?'
26 Adiera, joge matindo nopodh e yore; jolweny mage duto nolingʼ thi odiechiengno,” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.
Therefore her young men shall fall in her broad places, and all the men of war shall be brought to silence in that day, saith the LORD of hosts.
27 “Anawangʼ ohingini mag Damaski; notiek kuonde mochiel motegno mag Ben-Hadad.”
And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
28 Kuom Kedar gi pinyruodhi mag Hazor, mane Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon omonjo: Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Chungʼuru malo, kendo umonj Keda, mi utiek joma aa yo wuok chiengʼ.
Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote. Thus saith the LORD: Arise ye, go up against Kedar, and spoil the children of the east.
29 Hembegi gi jambgi nokaw; kar dak margi nowal oko, kaachiel gi mwandugi duto kod ngamia. Ji nogonegi koko ni, ‘Masira maduongʼ koni gi koni!’”
Their tents and their flocks shall they take, they shall carry away for themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall proclaim against them a terror on every side.
30 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Ringuru piyo uayi! Daguru e rogo matut, un joma odak Hazor. Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon nigi paro marach kuomu; osechano timonu marach.
Flee ye, flit far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you.
31 “Chunguru kendo umonj pinyni momewo, modak kodhil,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho, “piny maonge dhorangeye kata lodi; joge odak kendgi.
Arise, get you up against a nation that is at ease, that dwelleth without care, saith the LORD; that have neither gates nor bars, that dwell alone.
32 Ngamia mag-gi noyaki kendo kweth mag dhogi nope. Anake joge mantie kuma bor e tunge piny kendo anakelnegi masira koa koni gi koni,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil; and I will scatter unto all winds them that have the corners polled; and I will bring their calamity from every side of them, saith the LORD.
33 “Hazor nobed thim mar ondiegi, kama ojwangʼ nyaka chiengʼ. Onge ngʼama nodag kanyo; onge ngʼama nodag e iye.”
And Hazor shall be a dwelling-place of jackals, a desolation for ever; no man shall abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.
34 Ma e wach Jehova Nyasaye mane obirone janabi Jeremia kuom Elam, e ndalo chakruok mar loch Zedekia ruodh Juda:
The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying:
35 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, wacho: “Ne, anatur atung Elam, girgi maduongʼ mar tekogi.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
36 Anamonj Elam gi yembe angʼwen moa e tunge angʼwen mar polo; anakegi e yembe angʼwen-go kendo onge piny ma jo-Elam momaki ok nodhiye.
And I will bring against Elam the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the dispersed of Elam shall not come.
37 Anami Elam ongʼengʼ e nyim wasike, e nyim jogo madwaro tieko ngimagi; anakel masiche kuomgi, ma en mirimba mager,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho. “Analawgi gi ligangla manyaka atiekgi.”
And I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life; and I will bring evil upon them, even My fierce anger, saith the LORD; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them;
38 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Anaket koma mar duongʼ ei Elam, kendo atiek ruodhe kod jotende.”
And I will set My throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence king and princes, saith the LORD.
39 “Kata kamano anaduog mwandu Elam e ndalo ma biro,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.
But it shall come to pass in the end of days, that I will bring back the captivity of Elam, saith the LORD.
