Jeremia 1
1 Weche Jeremia wuod Hilkia, achiel kuom jodolo man Anathoth e piny Benjamin.
The word of God which came to Jeremias the [son] of Chelcias, of the priests, who lived in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
2 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirone e higa mar apar gadek e loch Josia wuod Amon ruodh Juda,
[accordingly] as the word of God came to him in the days of Josias son of Amos king of Juda, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
3 kendo kokalo e loch Jehoyakim wuod Josia ruodh Juda, kodhi nyaka e dwe mar abich mar higa mar apar gachiel mar Zedekia wuod Josia ruodh Juda, sa mane joma odak Jerusalem dhi e twech.
And it was in the days of Joakim, son of Josias king of Juda, until the eleventh year of Sedekias king of Juda, [even] until the captivity of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
4 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona, kawacho niya,
And the word of the Lord came to him, [saying],
5 “Kane pok achweyi e ich ne angʼeyi, kane pok onywoli ne asewali tenge; ne ayieri kaka janabi ne pinje.”
Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you; and before you came forth from the womb, I sanctified you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.
6 Ne awacho niya, “Yaye, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, ok angʼeyo wuoyo; an mana rawera matin.”
And I said, O Lord, you that are supreme Lord, behold, I know not [how] to speak, for I am a child.
7 To Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Kik iwach ni, ‘An mana nyathi.’ Nyaka idhi ir ji duto maori irgi kendo iwach gimoro amora ma achiki.
And the Lord said to me, Say not, I am a child: for you shall go to all to whoever I shall send you, and according to all [the words] that I shall command you, you shall speak.
8 Kik iluorgi, nimar an kodi kendo abiro resoi,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
Be not afraid before them: for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord.
9 Eka Jehova Nyasaye norieyo bade kendo omulo dhoga mi owachona niya, “Koro, aseketo wechega e dhogi.
And the Lord stretched forth his hand to me, and touched my mouth: and the Lord said to me, Behold, I have put my words into your mouth.
10 Ne, kawuononi ayieri ewi ogendini kod pinjeruodhi mondo ipudhi kendo iyiechi, mondo ikethi kendo ilok loch, mondo iger kendo ipudhi.”
Behold, I have appointed you this day over nations and over kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to rebuild, and to plant.
11 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona niya: “En angʼo mineno, Jeremia?” Anto ne adwoke ni, “Aneno bad yath mar oyungu.”
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, What see you? And I said, A rod of an almond tree.
12 Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Ineno kare, nimar arito mondo ane ni wachna ochopo kare.”
And the Lord said to me, You have well seen: for I have watched over my words to perform them.
13 Wach Jehova Nyasaye nochako birona kendo kopenjo niya, “En angʼo mineno?” Anto ne adwoke niya, “Aneno agulu mayienyo, kolokore oa yo nyandwat.”
And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying, What see you? And I said, A cauldron on the fire; and the face of it is towards the north.
14 Jehova Nyasaye nowachona, “Koa yo nyandwat masira ibiro ol kuom jogo duto modak e piny.
And the Lord said to me, From the north shall flame forth evils upon all the inhabitants of the land.
15 Achiegni luongo ji duto mag pinje ma yo nyandwat,” Jehova Nyasaye wacho. Ruodhigi biro biro kendo giniket kom duongʼ-gi e kar donjo mar dhorangeye Jerusalem; gibiro monjo ohingini duto molwore kendo monjo mier madongo duto mag Juda.
For, behold, I call together all the kingdoms of the earth from the north, says the Lord; and they shall come, and shall set each one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls round about her, and against all the cities of Juda.
16 Abiro ngʼadone joga bura nikech timbegi mamono mar jwangʼa, kuom wangʼo ubani ne nyiseche mamoko kendo lamo gima lwetgi oseloso.
And I will speak to them in judgement, concerning all their iniquity, [forasmuch] as they have forsaken me, and sacrificed to strange gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.
17 “Bed moikore! Chungʼ malo kendo wachnegi gimoro amora machiki. Kik iwe gibwogi, ka ok kamano to abiro bwogi e nyimgi.
And do you gird up your loins, and stand up, and speak all [the words] that I shall command you: be not afraid of their face, neither be you alarmed before them; for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord.
18 Kawuono aseketi dala maduongʼ mochiel motegno, kendo gi siro mar chuma kod ohinga mar mula mondo ogengʼne piny ngima, ma gin ruodhi mag Juda, jotende, jodolo mage kod ji duto mag pinyno.
Behold, I have made you this day as a strong city, and as a brazen wall, strong [against] all the kings of Juda, and the princes thereof, and the people of the land.
19 Gibiro kedo kodi to ok gini loyi, nimar an kodi kendo abiro resi,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
And they shall fight against you; but they shall by no means prevail against you; because I am with you, to deliver you, says the Lord.
