Jeremia 50
1 Ma e wach mane Jehova Nyasaye owacho kuom Babulon kod piny jo-Babulon kokalo kuom Jeremia janabi:
The word that the Lord spoke concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by means of Jeremiah the prophet.
2 “Nyisuru kendo landuru e dier ogendini, tingʼuru bandera kendo landuru; kik upand gimoro, to wachni, ‘Babulon nomaki; Bel wiye nokuodi, Marduk luoro nogo ngoga. Gige mopa nokuod wigi kendo nyisechegi manono nopongʼ gi luoro.’
Announce ye among the nations, and publish, and lift up a standard; publish, conceal not; say, Babylon is captured, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is broken in pieces; put to shame are her idols; broken in pieces are her images.
3 Piny moa yo nyandwat nomonje kendo pinye nodongʼ gunda. Onge ngʼama nodag e iye; ji kaachiel gi le noringi.”
For there is come up against her a nation out of the north, which will change her land into a desert, so that there shall not be any one dwelling therein: both man and beast are fled away, they are departed.
4 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “E ndalogo, sa nogono, jo-Israel gi jo-Juda nodhi kaachiel ka pi wangʼ-gi chwer, ka gidwaro Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi.
In those days, and at that time, saith the Lord, shall the children of Israel come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping shall they go, and the Lord their God shall they seek.
5 Ginipenj yo madhi Sayun kendo gilok wengegi kochiko kuno. Ginibi kendo ginitwere kuom Jehova Nyasaye e singruok mochwere, ma wich ok nowil godo.
After Zion shall they ask, with their faces on the way thitherward, [saying, ] Come: and they will join themselves to the Lord in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.
6 “Joga osebedo rombe molal; jokwathgi osewitogi, kendo osemiyogi bayo e gode madongo. Negibayo e gode madongo gi gode matindo, kendo wigi ne owil gi kargi mar yweyo.
Lost sheep were my people; their shepherds had caused them to go astray, they had let them roam wildly on the mountains: from mountain to hill did they go, they forgot their resting-place.
7 Ngʼato angʼata mane oyudogi nokidhogi; wasikgi nowacho niya, ‘Ok wan joketho, nimar negitimo richo ni Jehova Nyasaye, kar kwadhgi madiera, Jehova Nyasaye, geno mar wuonegi.’
All that found them devoured them; and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the Lord, the habitation of righteousness, and the hope of their fathers, the Lord.
8 “Ringuru uwuog Babulon; ayeuru e piny jo-Babulon, kendo uchal gi diek motelone jamni.
Fly away out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be ye as the he-goats before the flocks.
9 Anami ogendini maroteke moriwore moa yo nyandwat obi omonj Babulon. Ginikaw keregi mondo gimonje, kendo koa yo nyandwat enomake. Aserni mag-gi nochal gi jolweny molony, ma ok duogi gi lwetgi nono.”
For, lo, I will awaken and cause to come up against Babylon an assemblage of great nations from the north country; and they shall set themselves in battle-array against her; from there shall she be captured: their arrows are as those of a skilful mighty one, none of which ever returneth in vain.
10 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Omiyo Babulon noyaki; jogo moyake nokaw gik moromogi.
And Chaldea shall be given up to spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the Lord.
11 “Nikech un gi ilo kendo umor, un joma ketho girkeni maga, nikech uchwe ka nyaroya machamo lum kendo ugiro ka farese,
Though ye rejoice, though ye be glad, O ye plunderers of my heritage, though ye be grown fat as the heifer at grass, and neigh as stud-horses:
12 minu wiye nokuodi malich; ngʼatno mane onywolou nobed gi wichkuot maduongʼ. En ema nobedie ngʼat matin kuom ogendini, nochal thim, piny motimo ongoro, kama otwo.
Your mother is made greatly ashamed; she that bore you is put to the blush; behold, the end of nations shall be wilderness, dry land, and desert.
13 Nikech ich wangʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye, ok nobed gi joma odak e iye, to enobed gunda chuth. Jogo duto makalo Babulon, nobed gi bwok maduongʼ kendo nyiere nikech adhondene duto.
Because of the wrath of the Lord shall it not be inhabited, and it shall be wholly desolate: every one that passeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss over all her wounds.
14 “Kawuru kereu e alwora mar Babulon, un duto maywayo atungʼ. Bayeuru gi asere! Kik uwe asere moro amora, nimar osetimo richo ne Jehova Nyasaye.
Put yourselves in battle-array against Babylon round about, all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare not the arrows: for against the Lord hath she sinned.
15 Gone koko kuonde duto! Otingʼo bade kanyiso ni oloye, kuondene mag ngʼicho motingʼore gi malo podho, ohinga mage imuko. Nikech ma e chulo kuor mar Jehova Nyasaye, chulneuru kuor; timneuru kaka osetimo ni joma moko.
Shout against her round about; she hath stretched out her hand: fallen are her foundations, thrown down are her walls; for it is the vengeance of the Lord; take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, so do unto her.
16 Gol jachwoyo oko e Babulon, kod jakeyo gi pande mar keyo. Nikech ligangla mar ngʼama thiro ji we ngʼato ka ngʼato odog ir joge, we ngʼato ka ngʼato oringi odhi e pinye owuon.
Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest; because of the wasting sword shall they turn about every one to his people, and every one to his own land shall they flee.
17 “Israel chalo gi rombe mokee ma sibuor oseriembo. Mano mane okwongo kidhe ne en ruodh Asuria; mano mogik mane oturo chokege ne en Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon.”
A scattered lamb is Israel; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria devoured him; and this last one broke his bones, [even] Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon.
18 Emomiyo ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: “Anakum ruodh Babulon gi pinye kaka ne akumo ruodh Asuria.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will inflict punishment on the king of Babylon and on his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
19 To anaduog Israel e kare mar kwath kendo enokwa e Karmel kod Bashan; noyiengʼ e gode matindo mag Efraim gi Gilead.”
And I will bring Israel back again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan: and upon the mountain of Ephraim and Gil'ad shall his soul be satisfied.
20 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “E ndalogo, e sechego, nomany ketho Israel, to onge manoyudi, kendo ne richo Juda, to onge manoyudi, nimar anangʼwon-ne jogo mane odongʼ mane aweyo.”
In those days, and at that time, saith the Lord, shall the iniquity of Israel be sought for, and it shall not be there; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found; for I will pardon those whom I will leave remaining.
21 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Monj piny Merathaim kod jogo modak Pekod. Lawgi, neg-gi kendo utiekgi duto. Timuru gimoro amora masechikou.
Against the land of twofold rebellion—even against it go thou up, and against the inhabitants of the country of punishment: lay in ruins and utterly destroy their offspring, saith the Lord, and do in accordance with all that I have commanded thee.
22 Koko mar lweny ni e piny, koko mar kethruok maduongʼ!
A sound of battle [is heard] in the land, and of great destruction.
23 Mano kaka nyundo mar piny ngima otur kendo obarore! Mano kaka Babulon odongʼ, gunda e dier pinje!
How is cut asunder and broken the hammer of all the earth! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
24 Achikonu obadho, yaye Babulon, kendo nomaku kapod ok ungʼeyo; noyudu kendo omaku nikech ne ukwedo Jehova Nyasaye.
I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also captured, O Babylon, while thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hadst entered into a contest against the Lord.
25 Jehova Nyasaye oseyawo kare mar kano gige lweny, kendo ogolo gige mag lweny mag mirimbe, nimar Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto kendo Maratego nigi tich monego ti e piny jo-Babulon.
The Lord hath opened his treasury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation; for it is a work for the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, in the land of the Chaldeans.
26 Bi imonje gi kuma bor. Yiech deche mage; choke ka pith mar cham. Tieke chuth, kendo kik obed gi ngʼato moro amora motony.
Come against her from the end of the earth, open her garners; tread her down as sheaves of corn, and destroy her utterly: let there not be left of her a remnant even.
27 Neguru nyirwedhi mage duto; we gidhi e kar yengʼo! Mano kaka gininee malit! Nimar odiechiengʼ osechopo, kinde monego kumgi.
Destroy all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: Woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation.
28 Winjuru jo-Israel maringo kod matony koa Babulon, mawacho e Sayun ni mano kaka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa osechulo kuor, kuor nikech hekalu mare.
There is the voice of those that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to tell in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God, the vengeance for his temple.
29 “Chikuru jo-aserni mondo omonj Babulon, jogo duto maywayo atungʼ. Chokreuru bute; kik uwe ngʼato pondi. Chuleuru nikech timbene; timneuru kaka osetimo. Nimar ok osewinjo Jehova Nyasaye, Jal Maler mar Israel.”
Call together the archers against Babylon; all ye that bend the bow, encamp against her round about; let there be no escape for her: recompense her according to her work; in accordance with all that she hath done, do unto her; for against the Lord hath she acted presumptuously, against the Holy One of Israel.
30 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Emomiyo, joge matindo nogore piny e yore; jolweny mage duto nonegi odiechiengno.”
therefore shall her young men fall in her streets, and all her men of war shall perish on that day, saith the Lord.
31 Ruoth, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, “Ne, ok adwari, yaye janjore, nimar odiechiengi osechopo, kinde mari mar kum.
Behold, I am against thee, O presumptuous one! saith the Lord, the Eternal of hosts; for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee [with punishment].
32 Janjore nochwanyre kendo podhi kendo onge ngʼama nochunge malo; anamok mach e dalane manowangʼ jogo duto man machiegni kode.”
And the presumptuous shall stumble and fall, with none to raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all his environs.
33 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho: “Jo-Israel ithiro, kaachiel gi jo-Juda bende kamano. Joma ne omakogi nomakogi matek, ma ok nyal weyogi gidhi.
Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, The children of Israel and the children of Judah are oppressed together: and all that took them captive hold them fast; they refuse to dismiss them.
34 Kata kamano Jawar margi en ratego; Jehova Nyasaye Maratego e nyinge. Enokonygi gi nyalone duto mondo omi gibed gi yweyo e pinygi; to jo-Babulon nomi obed gi tungni.”
Their Redeemer is strong; The Lord of hosts is his name: he will surely contend in their cause, in order that he may give rest to the land, and make the inhabitants of Babylon tremble.
35 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Ligangla notiek jo-Babulon! Notiek jogo modak Babulon kendo notiek jotende kod joge mariek!
The sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the Lord, and against the inhabitants of Babylon, and against her princes, and against her wise men.
36 Ligangla notiek jonabi mage mag miriambo! Ginibed joma ofuwo. Ligangla notiek jolweny mage! Luoro maduongʼ nomakgi.
The sword is against the lying soothsayers, and they shall be made foolish: the sword is against her mighty men, and they shall be dismayed.
37 Ligangla notiek faresege gi gechene kod welo duto mane ondiko e lweny! Ginibed ka mon. Ligangla notiek kuondegi mag kano mwandu kendo nokwalgi!
The sword is against their horses, and against their chariots, and against all the confederates that are in the midst of her, and they shall become as women: the sword is against her treasures, and they shall be plundered.
38 Pige mag aoregi nodwon matuo. Nimar en piny mopongʼ gi nyiseche manono, ma gin nyiseche mamiyo neko nomaku.
The drought is against her waters, and they shall be dried up; for it is the land of graven images, and with their horrid idols do they play the madman.
39 “Omiyo gige thim kod ondiegi nodag kanyo, kendo kanyo tula nodagie. Onge gima nobedie kendo onge ngʼama nochak odagie e tienge duto.”
Therefore shall martens dwell [there] with jackals, and the ostriches shall dwell therein: and it shall be not inhabited any more for ever; and it shall not be dwelt in from generation to generation.
40 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Mana kaka Nyasaye noketho Sodom gi Gomora, kaachiel gi mier mokiewo kodgi, e kaka en bende nobedi maonge ngʼato angʼata, modak kanyo kendo.
Like the overthrow by God of Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbors, saith the Lord, so shall no man dwell there, nor shall any son of man sojourn therein.
41 “Neuru! Jolweny biro koa yo nyandwat; oganda maduongʼ kod ruodhi mangʼeny itugo koa e tunge piny.
Behold, a people cometh from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be awakened from the farthest ends of the earth.
42 Gimanore gi atungʼ kod tongʼ; giger kendo gionge ngʼwono. Gimor ka nam mogingore ka giriembo faresegi; gibiro ka ji mochanore komanore gi gige lweny mondo gimonju, yaye Nyar Babulon.
Bow and lance do they firmly grasp; they are cruel, and show not any mercy; their voice roareth like the sea, and upon horses do they ride, placed in array, like one man, for the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
43 Ruodh Babulon osewinjo humbgi; kendo bedene onge gi teko. Rem malich osemake, ka rem mar dhako mamuoch kayo.
The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands are grown feeble: anguish hath taken fast hold of him, pangs as of a woman in travail.
44 Mana ka sibuor mabiro koa e bungu moyugno mar Jordan, nyaka kar kwath man-gi lum, e kaka anariemb Babulon 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, like a lion shall he come up from the overflow of the Jordan unto the strong habitation; for I will hasten them [and] make them suddenly prevail over her, and him who is chosen will I array against her; for who like me? and who will challenge me to battle? and who is that shepherd that can stand before me?
45 Emomiyo, winj gima Jehova Nyasaye osechano timo ne Babulon, gima oseramo ni nyaka otimne piny jo-Babulon: Nyithi rombe bende nokaw; enoketh chuth kuondegi mag kwath nikech gin.
Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, that he hath resolved against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath devised against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall drag them away; surely he will devastate over them their habitation.
46 E kinde ma Babulon nomaki piny noyiengni; ywakne nowinjre e dier pinje.
At the noise of the conquest of Babylon the earth quaketh, and the outcry is heard among the nations.
