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 Kasdim, by 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.’
“Declare among the nations and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and don’t conceal; say, ‘Babylon has been taken, Bel is disappointed, Merodach is dismayed! Her images are disappointed. Her idols are dismayed.’
3 Piny moa yo nyandwat nomonje kendo pinye nodongʼ gunda. Onge ngʼama nodag e iye; ji kaachiel gi le noringi.”
For a nation comes up out of the north against her, which will make her land desolate, and no one will dwell in it. They have fled. They are gone, both man and animal.
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 in that time,” says the LORD, “the children of Israel will come, they and the children of Judah together; they will go on their way weeping, and will seek the LORD their God.
5 Ginipenj yo madhi Sayun kendo gilok wengegi kochiko kuno. Ginibi kendo ginitwere kuom Jehova Nyasaye e singruok mochwere, ma wich ok nowil godo.
They will inquire concerning Zion with their faces turned toward it, saying, ‘Come, and join yourselves to the LORD in an everlasting covenant that will 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.
My people have been lost sheep. Their shepherds have caused them to go astray. They have turned them away on the mountains. They have gone from mountain to hill. They have forgotten 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 who found them have devoured them. Their adversaries said, ‘We are not guilty, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of righteousness, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers.’
8 “Ringuru uwuog Babulon; ayeuru e piny jo-Babulon, kendo uchal gi diek motelone jamni.
“Flee out of the middle of Babylon! Go out of the land of the Kasdim, and be as the male 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, behold, I will stir up and cause to come up against Babylon a company of great nations from the north country; and they will set themselves in array against her. She will be taken from there. Their arrows will be as of an expert mighty man. None of them will return in vain.
10 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Omiyo Babulon noyaki; jogo moyake nokaw gik moromogi.
Kasdim will be a prey. All who prey on her will be satisfied,” says the LORD.
11 “Nikech un gi ilo kendo umor, un joma ketho girkeni maga, nikech uchwe ka nyaroya machamo lum kendo ugiro ka farese,
“Because you are glad, because you rejoice, O you who plunder my heritage, because you are wanton as a heifer that treads out the grain, and neigh as strong 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 will be utterly disappointed. She who bore you will be confounded. Behold, she will be the least of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a 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 LORD’s wrath she won’t be inhabited, but she will be wholly desolate. Everyone who goes by Babylon will be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
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.
Set yourselves in array against Babylon all around, all you who bend the bow; shoot at her. Spare no arrows, for she has sinned against the LORD.
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 all around. She has submitted herself. Her bulwarks have fallen. Her walls have been thrown down, for it is the vengeance of the LORD. Take vengeance on her. As she has done, do to 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 who handles the sickle in the time of harvest. For fear of the oppressing sword, they will each return to their own people, and they will each flee to their own land.
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.”
“Israel is a hunted sheep. The lions have driven him away. First, the king of Assyria devoured him, and now at last Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has broken his bones.”
18 Emomiyo ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: “Anakum ruodh Babulon gi pinye kaka ne akumo ruodh Asuria.
Therefore the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and 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.”
I will bring Israel again to his pasture, and he will feed on Carmel and Bashan. His soul will be satisfied on the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead.
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 in that time,” says the LORD, “the iniquity of Israel will be sought for, and there will be none, also the sins of Judah, and they won’t be found; for I will pardon them whom I leave as a remnant.
21 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Monj piny Merathaim kod jogo modak Pekod. Lawgi, neg-gi kendo utiekgi duto. Timuru gimoro amora masechikou.
“Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod. Kill and utterly destroy after them,” says the LORD, “and do according to all that I have commanded you.
22 Koko mar lweny ni e piny, koko mar kethruok maduongʼ!
A sound of battle is 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 the hammer of the whole earth is cut apart and broken! How Babylon has become a desolation 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 you, and you are also taken, Babylon, and you weren’t aware. You are found, and also caught, because you have fought 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 has opened his armory, and has brought out the weapons of his indignation; for the Lord, GOD of Hosts, has a work to do in the land of the Kasdim.
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 farthest border. Open her storehouses. Cast her up as heaps. Destroy her utterly. Let nothing of her be left.
27 Neguru nyirwedhi mage duto; we gidhi e kar yengʼo! Mano kaka gininee malit! Nimar odiechiengʼ osechopo, kinde monego kumgi.
Kill all her bulls. Let them go down to the slaughter. Woe to them! For their day has 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.
Listen to those who flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of 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 those who bend the bow. Encamp against her all around. Let none of it escape. Pay her back according to her work. According to all that she has done, do to her; for she has been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.
30 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Emomiyo, joge matindo nogore piny e yore; jolweny mage duto nonegi odiechiengno.”
Therefore her young men will fall in her streets. All her men of war will be brought to silence in that day,” says 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 you, you proud one,” says the Lord, GOD of Hosts; “for your day has come, the time that I will visit you.
32 Janjore nochwanyre kendo podhi kendo onge ngʼama nochunge malo; anamok mach e dalane manowangʼ jogo duto man machiegni kode.”
The proud one will stumble and fall, and no one will raise him up. I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it will devour all who are around him.”
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.
The LORD of Hosts says: “The children of Israel and the children of Judah are oppressed together. All who took them captive hold them fast. They refuse to let them go.
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 thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the earth, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
35 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Ligangla notiek jo-Babulon! Notiek jogo modak Babulon kendo notiek jotende kod joge mariek!
“A sword is on the Kasdim,” says the LORD, “and on the inhabitants of Babylon, on her princes, and on her wise men.
36 Ligangla notiek jonabi mage mag miriambo! Ginibed joma ofuwo. Ligangla notiek jolweny mage! Luoro maduongʼ nomakgi.
A sword is on the boasters, and they will become fools. A sword is on her mighty men, and they will 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!
A sword is on their horses, on their chariots, and on all the mixed people who are in the middle of her; and they will become as women. A sword is on her treasures, and they will be robbed.
38 Pige mag aoregi nodwon matuo. Nimar en piny mopongʼ gi nyiseche manono, ma gin nyiseche mamiyo neko nomaku.
A drought is on her waters, and they will be dried up; for it is a land of engraved images, and they are mad over idols.
39 “Omiyo gige thim kod ondiegi nodag kanyo, kendo kanyo tula nodagie. Onge gima nobedie kendo onge ngʼama nochak odagie e tienge duto.”
Therefore the wild animals of the desert with the wolves will dwell there. The ostriches will dwell therein. It will be inhabited no more forever, neither will it be lived 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.
As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and its neighbor cities,” says the LORD, “so no man will dwell there, neither will any son of man live therein.
41 “Neuru! Jolweny biro koa yo nyandwat; oganda maduongʼ kod ruodhi mangʼeny itugo koa e tunge piny.
“Behold, a people comes from the north. A great nation and many kings will be stirred up from the uttermost parts 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.
They take up bow and spear. They are cruel, and have no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea. They ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, 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 has heard the news of them, and his hands become feeble. Anguish has taken hold of him, pains as of a woman in labor.
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, the enemy will come up like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan against the strong habitation; for I will suddenly make them run away from it. Whoever is chosen, I will appoint him over it, for who is like me? Who will appoint me a time? Who is the shepherd who 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 the counsel of the LORD that he has taken against Babylon; and his purposes that he has purposed against the land of the Kasdim: Surely they will drag them away, even the little ones of the flock. Surely he will make their habitation desolate over them.
46 E kinde ma Babulon nomaki piny noyiengni; ywakne nowinjre e dier pinje.
The earth trembles at the noise of the taking of Babylon. The cry is heard among the nations.
