Jeremia 8
1 “‘Jehova Nyasaye wacho ni e kindego, choke mag ruodhi kod jotelo mag Juda, choke mag jodolo kod jonabi, kendo choke mag jo-Jerusalem nogol oko e liete mag-gi.
At that time, saith the Lord, they shall cast out the bones of the kings of Juda, and the bones of the princes thereof, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves.
2 Chokego noyar oko e nyim chiengʼ gi dwe kod sulwe duto manie polo mane gihero kendo tiyonegi ma bende negiluwo bangʼ-gi ka gipenjo rieko kendo lamogi. Ok nochokgi kata ikgi, to ginichal ka owuoyo manie lowo.
And they shall spread them abroad to the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and adored: they shall not be gathered, and they shall not be buried: they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth.
3 Kamoro amora ma ariembogi ka aterogie, to jogo duto motony mar oganda marachni noher tho kar ngima, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho kamano.’
And death shall be chosen rather than life by all that shall remain of this wicked kindred in all places, which are left, to which I have cast them out, saith the Lord of hosts.
4 “Wachnegi ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “‘Ka ji opodho mogore piny donge gia malo? Ka ngʼato oa, donge odwogo?
And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: Shall not he that falleth, rise again? and he that is turned away, shall he not turn again?
5 Marangʼo jogi ongʼanyo oa? Angʼo momiyo Jerusalem siko ringo? Gimoko kuom miriambo; gitamore duogo.
Why then is this people in Jerusalem turned away with a stubborn revolting? they have laid hold on lying, and have refused to return.
6 Asechiko ita malongʼo, to ok giwach gima adier. Onge ngʼama lokore weyo kuom timbegi mamono, kopenjo niya, “En angʼo ma asetimo?” Moro ka moro luwo yore owuon ka faras madhi e lweny.
I attended, and hearkened; no man speaketh what is good, there is none that doth penance for his sin, saying: What have I done? They are all turned to their own course, as a horse rushing to the battle.
7 Kata mana nyamnaha manie kor polo ongʼeyo kindene moketne, kendo akuch odugla, opija gi ongo-wangʼ bende ongʼeyo ndalo mar dargi. To joga ok ongʼeyo dwach Jehova Nyasaye.
The kite in the air hath known her time: the turtle, and the swallow, and the stork have observed the time of their coming: but my people have not known the judgment of the Lord.
8 “‘Ere kaka inyalo wacho niya, “Wariek, nimar wan gi chik mar Jehova Nyasaye,” ka gadiera kalamb miriambo mar jondiko osetiyo kode e yor miriambo?
How do you say: We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? Indeed the lying pen of the scribes hath wrought falsehood.
9 Jomariek nokuod wigi; ginibed gi luoro mangʼeny kendo enomakgi. Nimar gisedagi wach Jehova Nyasaye, en rieko manade ma gin godo?
The wise men are confounded, they are dismayed, and taken: for they have cast away the word of the Lord, and there is no wisdom in them.
10 Emomiyo anachiw mondegi ne joma moko kendo puothegi ne jomanyien. Kochakore kuom ngʼat matin nyaka ngʼat maduongʼ, giduto giwuor ne yudo ohala; jonabi gi jodolo machalre, giduto gitimo timbe wuondruok.
Therefore I will give their women to strangers, their fields to others for an inheritance: because from the least even to the greatest all follow covetousness: from the prophet even to the priest, all deal deceitfully.
11 Githiedho adhonde mag joga mana ka gima ok en gima lich. Giwacho niya, “Kwe, kwe,” kata kwe onge.
And they healed the breach of the daughter of my people disgracefully, saying Peace, peace: when there was no peace.
12 Donge wigi kuot gi timbegi mamono? Ooyo, gionge wichkuot kata matin; bende gionge leny kata wichkuot. Omiyo ginipodhi e dier joma opodho; enolwargi piny ka ikumogi, Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
They are confounded, because they have committed abomination: yea rather they are not confounded with confusion, and they have not know how to blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall; in the time of their visitation they shall fall, saith the Lord.
13 “‘Anakaw nyak mag-gi. Onge olemo manobedi e mzabibu. Onge olemb ngʼowu manobedi ewi yath, kendo itgi noner. Gima asemiyogi nomagi.’” An Jehova Nyasaye ema asewacho kamano.
Gathering I will gather them together, saith the Lord, there is no grape on the vines, and there are no figs on the fig tree, the leaf is fallen: and I have given them the things that are passed away.
14 Angʼo momiyo wabet ka? Chokreuru kaachiel! Waringuru wadhi e mier madongo mochiel motegno gohinga kendo watho kuno! Nimar Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachwa osejwangʼowa mondo watho, kendo osemiyowa pi moketie sum mondo wamodhi, nikech wasetimo richo e nyime.
Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fenced city, and let us be silent there: for the Lord our God hath put us to silence, and hath given us water of gall to drink: for we have sinned against the Lord.
15 Ne wageno kwe to onge ber mosebiro, bende ne wageno kinde mag chang, to ne nitie mana thagruok.
We looked for peace and no good came: for a time of healing, and behold fear.
16 Giro mar farese mag wasigu iwinjo koa Dan; kendo ywak farese mathuondi miyo piny tetni. Gibiro tieko piny duto kod gik moko manie iye, dala maduongʼ kod ji duto modak kanyo.
The snorting of his horse was heard from Dan, all the land was moved at the sound of the neighing of his warriors: and they came and devoured the land, and all that was in it: the city and its inhabitants.
17 “Ne, anaor thuol man-gi kwiri e dieru, thuonde mager ma ok bo, kendo gini kau.” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
For behold I will send among you serpents, basilisks, against which there is no charm: and they shall bite you, saith the Lord.
18 Yaye Jahochna e lit, chunya ool.
My sorrow is above sorrow, my heart mourneth within me.
19 Winj ywak joga koa e piny man mabor: “Donge Jehova Nyasaye ni Sayun? Ruodhe bende pod ni kuno adier?” “Angʼo momiyo gisemiya ich wangʼ gigigo ma giloso, kod nyisechegi mag pinje mamoko?”
Behold the voice of the daughter my people from a far country: Is not the Lord in Sion, or is not her king in her? why then have they provoked me to wrath with their idols, and strange vanities?
20 “Ndalo keyo kod ndalo oro osekalo, to ok wakonyore.”
The harvest is passed, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
21 Nimar joga osehiny, an bende ahinyora; aywak kendo luoro omaka.
For the affliction of the daughter of my people I am afflicted, and made sorrowful, astonishment hath taken hold on me.
22 Yath tinde orumo Gilead koso? Jathieth tinde onge kanyo koso? Kare ere gima omiyo adhond joga ok nyal chango?
Is there no balm in Galaad? or is no physician there? Why then is not the wound of the daughter of my people closed?
