Jeremia 7
1 Ma e wach mane obirone Jeremia koa kuom Jehova Nyasaye:
Hear ye the word of the Lord, all Judea.
2 “Chungi e dhorangach mar od Jehova Nyasaye kendo kanyo land wachni: “‘Winjuru wach Jehova Nyasaye, un jo-Juda duto madonjo gie dhorangeyegi mondo olam Jehova Nyasaye.
3 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, Nyasach jo-Israel, wacho: Lok yoreu kod timbeu, to anami udagi kaye.
Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Correct your ways and your devices, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
4 Kik ugen kuom weche mag miriambo ka uwacho niya, “Ma en hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye!”
Trust not in yourselves with lying words, for they shall not profit you at all, saying, It is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.
5 Ka uloko yoreu gi timbeu adier kendo ungʼadone ngʼato ka ngʼato bura makare,
For if ye thoroughly correct your ways and your practices, and do indeed execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;
6 kendo ka ok umayo jadak, kiye kata mon ma chwogi otho kendo ok uchwero remb joma onge ketho, kendo ka ok uluwo bangʼ nyiseche manono ma dihinyu un uwegi,
and oppress not the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, and go not after strange gods to your hurt:
7 to anami udag kae, e piny mane amiyo kwereu mondo odagie manyaka chiengʼ.
then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land which I gave to your fathers of old and for ever.
8 To neuru, ugeno kuom weche mag miriambo maonge tich.
But whereas ye have trusted in lying words, whereby ye shall not be profited;
9 “‘Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, Bende unukwal kendo uneki, uterru kendo ukwongʼru gi miriambo, uwangʼ ubani ni Baal kendo ulu bangʼ nyiseche manono ma pod ok ungʼeyo,
and ye murder, and commit adultery, and steal, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and are gone after strange gods whom ye know not,
10 to bangʼe ubiro kendo uchungʼ e nyima e odni, ma Nyinga nitie, kendo uwacho ni, “Wasetony” utony mondo utim gik mamonogi?
so that it is evil with you; yet have ye come, and stood before me in the house, whereon my name is called, and ye have said, We have refrained from doing all these abominations.
11 Dibedi ni odni, ma iluongogo Nyinga, osebedonu kar pondo mar jomecho? To neuru arange! An Jehova Nyasaye ema asewacho kamano.
Is my house, whereon my name is called, a den of robbers in your eyes? And, behold, I have seen [it], saith the Lord.
12 “‘Koro dhi sani kama iluongo ni Shilo kama ne akwongo alosoe kar dak mar Nyinga, kendo mondo ine gima ne atimone nikech timbe mamono mag joga Israel.
For go ye to my place with is in Selo, where I caused my name to dwell before, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.
13 E sa ma ne utimo gigi duto, Jehova Nyasaye wacho, ne awuoyo kodu anwoya, to ne ok uchiko itu; ne aluongou, to ne ok udwoka.
And now, because ye have done all these deeds, and I spoke to you, but ye hearkened not to me; and I called you, but ye answered not;
14 Emomiyo, gima ne atimone Shilo koro abiro timo ne ot miluongogo Nyinga, hekalu ma ugeno kuomeno, kama ne amiyou kod wuoneu.
therefore I also will do to the house whereon my name is called, wherein ye trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Selo.
15 Anadaru e nyima, mana kaka ne atimone oweteu duto, ma jo-Efraim.’
And I will cast you out of my sight, as I cast away your brethren, all the seed of Ephraim.
16 “Omiyo kik ilamne jogi kata chiwo kwayo moro amora kata kwayonegi lamo; kik isaya, nimar ok anawinji.
Therefore pray not thou for this people, and intercede not for them to be pitied, yea, pray not, and approach me not for them: for I will not hearken [unto thee].
17 Bende ineno gima gitimo e mier mag Juda kod yore mag Jerusalem?
Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
18 Nyithindo choko yien, wuone moko mach, to mon dwalo mogo mondo gilos godo makati ne Ruoth ma Dhako mar Polo. Gichiwo misango miolo piny ne nyiseche manono mondo ochwanya ma mi iya wangʼ.
Their children gather wood, and their fathers kindle a fire, and their women knead dough, to make cakes to the host of heaven; and they have poured out drink-offerings to strange gods, that they might provoke me to anger.
19 To uparo ni An ema gichwanyo? Jehova Nyasaye penjo. Donge gihinyore kendgi, kendo gikelo wichkuot ne gin giwegi?
Do they provoke me to anger? saith the Lord: do they not [provoke] themselves, that their faces may be ashamed?
20 “‘Emomiyo ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: Ich wangʼ mara kod mirimba nool kaeni, kuom dhano kod le, kuom yiende manie puothe kod kuom olembe mag lowo, kendo nowangʼ ma ok nyal neg majno.
Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, my anger and wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and upon the men, and upon the cattle, and upon every tree of their field, and upon the fruits of the land; and it shall burn, and not be quenched.
21 “‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel wacho: Dhiuru nyime, meduru chiwo magu mag misengini miwangʼo pep e misengini magu mamoko kendo ucham ringʼogo un uwegi!
Thus saith the Lord, Gather your whole-burnt-offerings with your meat-offerings, and eat flesh.
22 Nimar kane agolo kwereu Misri kendo awuoyo kodgi, ne ok amiyogi mana chike kuom misango miwangʼo pep kod misengini mamoko,
For I spoke not to your fathers, and commanded them not in the day wherein I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, concerning whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifice:
23 to ne achiwo chikni: Luorauru, to anabed Nyasachu kendo unubed joga. Wuothuru e yore duto machikou, mondo duto odhi kodu maber.
but I commanded them this thing, saying, Hear ye my voice, and I will be to you a God, and ye shall be to me a people: and walk ye in all my ways which I shall command you, that it may be well with you.
24 To ne ok gichiko itgi kata winja; makmana, negiluwo timbegi mag tok teko mag chunjegi maricho. Negidok chien ma ok gidhi nyime.
But they hearkened not to me, and their ear gave no heed, but they walked in the imaginations of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward;
25 Kochakore e kinde mane kwereu oa Misri nyaka sani, odiechiengʼ ka odiechiengʼ, ne asiko aoronegi jotich ma jonabi.
from the day that their fathers went forth out of the land of Egypt, even until this day. And I sent to you all my servants, the prophets, by day and early in the morning: yea, I sent [them],
26 To ne ok gichiko itgi kata winja. Tokgi ne tek ta kendo negitimo gik maricho moloyo mag kweregi.’
but they hearkened not to me, and their ear gave no heed; and they made their neck harder than their fathers.
27 “Ka inyisogi magi duto, ok giniwinji; ka iluongogi, ok gini miyi dwoko.
Therefore thou shalt speak this word to them;
28 Emomiyo wachnegi ni, ‘Ma en oganda mapok omiyo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache luor kata ok giwinj puonj. Adiera oselalnigi; kendo osea e dhogi.
This is the nation which has not hearkened to the voice of the Lord, nor received correction: truth has failed from their mouth.
29 “‘Lieluru yie wiyeu oko kendo uwitgi; ywaguru e kuonde motingʼore malo motwo, nimar Jehova Nyasaye osekwedo kendo osejwangʼo tiengʼni mantiere e bwo mirimbe.
Cut off thine hair, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on thy lips; for the Lord has reprobated and rejected the generation that does these things.
30 “‘Jehova Nyasaye wacho ni jo-Juda osetimo timbe maricho e nyima. Giseketo nyisechegi manono e ot ma Nyinga nitiere kendo gisenjawe.
For the children of Juda have wrought evil before me, saith the Lord; they have set their abominations in the house on which my name is called, to defile it.
31 Gisegero kuonde motingʼore malo mar Tofeth e Holo mar Ben Hinom mondo gi wangʼ yawuotgi kod nyigi e mach ma en gima ne ok achiko, kata ne ok odonjo e pacha.
And they have built the altar of Tapheth, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, to burn their sons and their daughters with fire; which I did not command them [to do], neither did I design it in my heart.
32 Omiyo bed motangʼ, ndalo biro, Jehova Nyasaye owacho, ma ji ok nochak oluonge ni Tofeth kata Holo mar Ben Hinom, to ni Holo mar Yengʼo, nimar giniyik joma otho ei Tofeth maonge thuolo modongʼ.
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when they shall no more say, The altar of Tapheth, and the valley of the son of Ennom, but, The valley of the slain; and they shall bury in Tapheth, for want of room.
33 Eka ringre jogi nobed chiemo mar winy mafuyo e kor polo kod le mag bungu manie piny, kendo onge ngʼama nobwog-gi mondo gia.
And the dead bodies of this people shall be for food to the birds of the sky, and to the wild beasts of the earth; and there shall be none to drive [them] away.
34 Anatieki koko mar ilo gi mor kendo gi dwond miaha kod wuon kisera e dala Juda kod yore mag Jerusalem, nimar piny nodongʼ gunda.
And I will destroy out of the cities of Juda, and the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of them that make merry, and the voice of them that rejoice, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride; for the whole land shall become a desolation.
