Ywagruok 2
1 Mano kaka Ruoth Nyasaye osekumo Nyar Sayun gi mirimbe motwere ka rumbi! Duongʼ mar Israel ma yande otundo nyaka e polo, osewito piny, bende kuom mirimbe ok oseparo ni en raten mar tiende.
Yahweh was extremely angry [with us]; as a result, [it was as though] [MET] he covered Jerusalem with a dark cloud. Previously it was a beautiful/glorious city, but he has caused it to become a ruins. At the time he punished [MET] Israel, he [even] abandoned his temple [MET] [in Jerusalem].
2 Ruoth Nyasaye oseketho mier duto mag Jakobo ka ok odewo; nikech mirimbe osemuko kuonde mochiel motegno mag Nyar Juda. Nokuodo wi jopinyno gi jotende mi odwoko lochgi chien.
Yahweh destroyed the homes of [the people of] [PRS] Judah; he did not act mercifully. Because he was very angry, he broke down the fortresses of Judah. He has caused our kingdom and our rulers to become disgraced, and he has gotten rid of them.
3 Osetieko teko mar jo-Israel gi mirimbe mager, kendo osejwangʼogi e lwet wasikgi. Osewengʼo ka Jakobo kaka mach mager makakni ma wangʼo gik moko duto molwore.
Because he was extremely angry, he has caused Israel to not be powerful [MET] any more. He has refused to assist us when our enemies attacked us. He has destroyed Israel like [SIM] a raging fire destroys everything.
4 Oseywayo atungʼe mar kedo gi joge mana ka gima gin wasike. Kaka jasigu neko, osenego jogo duto mane nenore mabeyo e wangʼ, kendo oseolo mirimbe oko ka mach kuom hemb Nyar Sayun.
He bent his bow [to prepare to shoot us, his people], as though we were his enemies. He [prepared to] kill the people whom we love the most [MET], members of our own families. He is extremely angry [MTY] with us people of Jerusalem; his anger is like [SIM] a fire.
5 Ruoth Nyasaye chalo gi jasigu; kendo osetieko Israel! Osemuko ute Israel duto mag ruoth kendo oseketho mieche mochiel motegno. Osemedo ywagruok kod kuyo ne Nyar Juda.
Yahweh has become like an enemy to [us] Israelis; he has destroyed our palaces and caused our fortresses to become ruins. He has gotten rid of many people in Jerusalem, and caused us to mourn and weep [for those who were killed].
6 Oseketho kare mar dak mana ka puodho moketh chambe modongʼ nono, kendo osemuko kare mar romo. Jehova Nyasaye osemiyo Sayun wiye owil kod sewni moyier gi Sabatoge; kendo kuom mirimbe mager, osejwangʼo ruoth kaachiel gi jadolo.
He has caused his temple to be smashed [as easily] as [SIM] if it was a shelter in a garden. He has caused [us, his people], to forget all our sacred festivals and Sabbath days. He has caused [our] kings and priests to be rejected because he was extremely angry with them.
7 Ruoth Nyasaye osedagi kendone mar misango kendo jwangʼo kare maler mar lemo. Osechiwo ohinga mag kuonde mag dak e lwet wasigu; gisegoyo koko e od Jehova Nyasaye mana kaka ne itimo e odiechiengʼ mar sawo moyier.
Yahweh has rejected his own altar and abandoned his temple. He has allowed [our] enemies to tear down the walls of [our temple and] our palaces. They shout [victoriously] in the temple of Yahweh, like we [previously shouted] during our sacred festivals.
8 Jehova Nyasaye osechano muko ohinga molworo Nyar Sayun. Oserieyo rapim kendo ne ok ogengʼo lwete mondo kik okethe. Nomiyo chiel ma oko mar dala kod ohinga oyiengni, giduto kaachiel ne gimukore mi gigore piny.
Yahweh was determined to cause the walls of our city [MTY] to be torn down. [It was as though] he measured the walls and [then he completely] destroyed [MTY] them. [It was as though] he caused the towers and walls to lament/weep, [because they were now ruins].
9 Dhorangeyene osegore piny molal ei lowo, oseturo lodi mage kendo kethogi. Ruodhe gi jodonge oke e kind ogendini, chik onge koro, to jonabi mage koro ok yud fweny moa kuom Jehova Nyasaye.
The city gates have collapsed; the bars that fastened the gates shut have been smashed. The king and his officials have [been forced to] go to other countries. No longer does anyone teach the people the laws [that God gave to Moses]. The prophets do not receive any visions [because] Yahweh does not give them any.
10 Jodongo mag nyar Sayun, obedo piny kolingʼ thi, gisebuko wiyegi gi buru kendo girwako piende gugru. Nyi Jerusalem osekulo wiyegi piny.
The old men of Jerusalem [MTY] sit on the ground, and they say nothing. They wear rough sackcloth and throw dust on their heads [to show that they are sad]. The young girls of Jerusalem bow down [sorrowfully], their faces touching the ground.
11 Wangʼa ojony nikech ywak, chunya ool, kendo chandore malit nikech joga osetieki, kendo nyithindo kod nyithindo mayom kech nego e yore mag dala maduongʼ.
My eyes are very tired because of my tears; I am very grieved in my soul. Because [very many of] my people have been killed, I grieve and am exhausted. [Even] children and babies are fainting [and dying] in the streets [because they have no food].
12 Kech negogi e kor minegi, ka jogo mohiny e lweny e yore mag dala maduongʼ, mi gipodhi, omiyo gipenjo minegi niya, “Ere chiemo kod divai?”
They cry out to their mothers, “We need [RHQ] something to eat and drink!” They faint like wounded men in the streets of the city. They slowly die in the arms of their mothers.
13 Yaye Nyar Jerusalem, en angʼo madawach kuomi? Koso en angʼo ma dapimigo? Yaye Nyar Sayun mapok ongʼeyo dichwo, en angʼo ma dapimigo, koso en angʼo ma dahoyigo? Adhola ma in-go tut mana ka nam. Ere ngʼama dithiedhnigo?
You people of Jerusalem [MTY, DOU], (what can I/there is nothing that I can) say [to help you]. No people have [RHQ] suffered like you are suffering; I do not know what I can do to comfort you. The disaster [MET] that you have experienced is as great as the ocean is deep; there is no one [RHQ] who can restore your [city].
14 Fweny mane jonabi magi oneno ne ok adiera, to gin mana miriambo lilo, ne ok ginyisi richoni mondo omi kik teri e twech. To fweny mane ginyisi ne gin mana weche mag miriambo kendo ma wito ji.
The prophets among you claimed that they had seen visions [from Yahweh], but what they said was false and worthless. They did not save you from being (exiled/forced to go to other countries), because they did not proclaim that you had sinned. Instead, the messages that they gave you deceived you [because] they were not true.
15 Ji duto makadho buti pamo ni lwetegi; gijari kendo gikino wigi kuom gigo mosetimorene Nyar Jerusalem, ka gipenjore niya, “Bende ma e dala maduongʼ ma yande ongʼere ni dala maler, kendo mor mar piny mangima?”
All those who pass by you make fun of [IDM] you; they shake their heads and they hiss/sneer at you. [They say], “Is this that great city of Jerusalem? Is it the city that was the most beautiful city in the world, the city that caused all [the people on] the earth to be joyful?”
16 Wasiki duto wuoyo marach kuomi; gijari ka gikayo lekegi kagiwacho niya, “Wasetieke chuth. Ma e ndalo mane wasebedo ka warito; adier, osechopo ma wanene.”
[Now] all our enemies scoff [IDM] at you; they hiss/sneer [at you] and gnash their teeth [to show that they hate you]. They say, “We have destroyed them! This is what we longed/waited for, and now it has happened!”
17 Jehova Nyasaye osetimo gima ne osechano; osechopo mano mane owacho, ma en gima nochiko chon. Osetieki ma ok odewo, kendo osemiyo wasigu goyoni siboi, komedogi teko.
Yahweh has done what he planned; long ago he threatened to destroy you, and [now] he has done it. He has destroyed [your city] without acting mercifully [toward you]; he has enabled your enemies to he happy about defeating you; he has enabled your enemies to [continually] become stronger.
18 Chunje ji ywak ni Ruoth Nyasaye. Yaye ohinga mar Nyar Sayun, we pi wangʼi omol ka aora, odiechiengʼ gotieno; kik iywe kata matin, kendo pi wangʼi kik chogi.
I wish/desire that the walls of Jerusalem [APO] would cry out to Yahweh! You people of Jerusalem [MET], Cry day and night! Let your tears flow like rivers. Do not stop grieving; do not stop crying.
19 Aa malo, ywagi otieno duto, e kindego mag arita ma otieno chakore, kendo weche duto manie chunyi ol oko ka pi e nyim Ruoth Nyasaye. Tingʼ bedeni malo kilame nikech nyithindi, ma kech nego e wangʼ yore duto.
Get up [every] night and cry out; tell Yahweh what you are feeling. Raise your arms to plead to him to act mercifully to prevent our children from dying; they are fainting on the street corners because they have no food to eat.
20 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye winjie wachni: En ngʼa misetimone gima lit machal kama? Bende mon dicham nyithindgi ma giserito maber kama? Koso jodolo gi jonabi dinegi e kama ler mar lemo mar Ruoth Nyasaye adier?
Yahweh, look, and think [about it]! Have you ever [RHQ] caused people to suffer like this before? [It is certainly not right that] [RHQ] women are eating the flesh of their own children, the children whom they have always taken care of! [It is not right that] [RHQ] priests and prophets are being killed in your own temple!
21 Jomatindo gi jomadongo nindo e yore motimo buru; yawuota gi nyiga oseneg gi ligangla. Isenegogi ka in gi mirima kendo isetiekogi ka ok idewo.
[The corpses of] people of all ages lie in the streets; [there are even corpses of] young men and young women who have been killed by [our enemies’] swords. Because you were very angry, you caused them to be killed; you have slaughtered them without pitying them [at all].
22 Ne iluongo masira koa kuonde duto mana ka ji mabiro e nyasi moro maduongʼ. E odiechiengʼ mar mirimb Jehova Nyasaye onge ngʼato mane otony kata mane odongʼ kangima. Kuom joga mane apidho kendo arito, wasika osetieko.
You summoned our enemies to attack us from every direction, as though you were calling/inviting them to come to a feast. At that time when [you showed that] you were very angry, no one escaped. Our enemies murdered [our little children, ] ones whom we took care of and reared/brought up.
