Jeremia 7

1 Ma e wach mane obirone Jeremia koa kuom Jehova Nyasaye:

The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying:

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.

Stand in the gate of the LORD'S house, and proclaim there this word, and say: Hear the word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD.

3 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, Nyasach jo-Israel, wacho: Lok yoreu kod timbeu, to anami udagi kaye.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Amend your ways and your doings, 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 ye not in lying words, saying: 'The temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, are these.'

5 Ka uloko yoreu gi timbeu adier kendo ungʼadone ngʼato ka ngʼato bura makare,

Nay, but if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye thoroughly execute justice 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,

if ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other 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 that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.

8 To neuru, ugeno kuom weche mag miriambo maonge tich.

Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.

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,

Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and offer unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye have not known,

10 to bangʼe ubiro kendo uchungʼ e nyima e odni, ma Nyinga nitie, kendo uwacho ni, “Wasetony” utony mondo utim gik mamonogi?

and come and stand before Me in this house, whereupon My name is called, and say: 'We are delivered', that ye may do 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 this house, whereupon My name is called, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I, even 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 now unto My place which was in Shiloh, where I caused My name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for 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 works, saith the LORD, and I spoke unto you, speaking betimes and often, but ye heard not, 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 will I do unto the house, whereupon My name is called, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

15 Anadaru e nyima, mana kaka ne atimone oweteu duto, ma jo-Efraim.’

And I will cast you out of My sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole 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, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to Me; for I will not hear thee.

17 Bende ineno gima gitimo e mier mag Juda kod yore mag Jerusalem?

Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah 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.

The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke Me.

19 To uparo ni An ema gichwanyo? Jehova Nyasaye penjo. Donge gihinyore kendgi, kendo gikelo wichkuot ne gin giwegi?

Do they provoke Me? saith the LORD; do they not provoke themselves, to the confusion of their own faces?

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 GOD: Behold, Mine anger and My fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the land; and it shall burn, and shall 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 of hosts, the God of Israel: Add your burnt-offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat ye 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 unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt-offerings or sacrifices;

23 to ne achiwo chikni: Luorauru, to anabed Nyasachu kendo unubed joga. Wuothuru e yore duto machikou, mondo duto odhi kodu maber.

but this thing I commanded them, saying: 'Hearken unto My voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be My people; and walk ye in all the way that I 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, nor inclined their ear, but walked in their own counsels, even in the stubbornness 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.

even since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day; and though I have sent unto you all My servants the prophets, sending them daily betimes and often,

26 To ne ok gichiko itgi kata winja. Tokgi ne tek ta kendo negitimo gik maricho moloyo mag kweregi.’

yet they hearkened not unto Me, nor inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff; they did worse than their fathers.

27 “Ka inyisogi magi duto, ok giniwinji; ka iluongogi, ok gini miyi dwoko.

And thou shalt speak all these words unto them, but they will not hearken to thee; thou shalt also call unto them, but they will not answer thee.

28 Emomiyo wachnegi ni, ‘Ma en oganda mapok omiyo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache luor kata ok giwinj puonj. Adiera oselalnigi; kendo osea e dhogi.

Therefore thou shalt say unto them: This is the nation that hath not hearkened to the voice of the LORD their God, nor received correction; faithfulness is perished, and is cut off 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 thy hair, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on the high hills; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath.

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 Judah have done that which is evil in My sight, saith the LORD; they have set their detestable things in the house whereon 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 high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded not, neither came it into My mind.

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, that it shall no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter; for they shall bury in Topheth, for lack 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 carcasses of this people shall be food for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall frighten 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.

Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land shall be desolate.
