Jeremiah 10
1 Hear ye the word which Jehovah speaks to you, O house of Israel.
Winji gima Jehova Nyasaye wachoni, yaye od Israel.
2 Thus says Jehovah: Learn not the way of the nations, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven, for the nations are dismayed at them.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Kik ipuonjri yore ogendini kata ibed gi bwok gi ranyisi manie kor polo, kata obedo ni gibwogo ogendini.
3 For the customs of the peoples are vanity. For a man cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe.
Nimar kit jogi kod timbegi onge tiende; gingʼado yien koa e bungu, bangʼe japecho paye gi koyo mare.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold. They fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it not move.
Giwire gi fedha gi dhahabu; giriwe motegno gi musmal ka gigoye gi nyundo, mondo kik oyiengni.
5 They are like a palm tree, of turned work, and do not speak. They must be carried, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, nor is it in them to do good.
Mana kaka gima ibwogogo gik moko e puothe mag budho, e kaka nyisechegi manonogo ok nyal wuoyo; nyaka tingʼ-gi nikech ok ginyal wuotho. Kik uluorgi; ok ginyal hinyou kata timonu gima ber.”
6 There is none like thee, O Jehovah. Thou are great, and thy name is great in might.
Onge ngʼama chalo kodi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; iduongʼ, kendo nyingi maratego nigi teko.
7 Who should not fear thee, O King of the nations? For to thee it appertains, inasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like thee.
En ngʼa ma ok onego miyi luor, yaye Ruodh ogendini? Ma gima iwinjori godo. Kuom jorieko duto mag ogendini kod kuom pinjeruodhigi duto, onge ngʼama chalo kodi.
8 But they are together brutish and foolish, the instruction of idols! It is but a block of wood.
Giduto gionge paro kendo gifuwo; ipuonjogi gi nyiseche manono mag bepe mopa maonge tich.
9 There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith, blue and purple for their clothing. They are all the work of skilful men.
Fedha mothedhi ikelo koa Tarshish kendo dhahabu koa Ufaz. Gima japecho kod jatheth oseloso irwako gi lewni marambulu gi maralik, giduto olosgi gi jotich molony.
10 But Jehovah is the true God. He is the living God, and an everlasting King. At his wrath the earth trembles, and the nations are not able to abide his indignation.
To Jehova Nyasaye e Nyasaye madieri; en e Nyasaye mangima, Ruoth manyaka chiengʼ. Ka iye owangʼ, to piny tetni; ogendini ok nyal mirimbe.
11 Thus ye shall say to them: The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.
“Nyisgi ma: ‘Nyiseche manonogi, mane ok ochweyo polo gi piny, nolal nono e piny kendo e bwo polo.’”
12 He has made the earth by his power. He has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding he has stretched out the heavens.
To Nyasaye nochweyo piny gi tekone; ne ochako piny gi riekone, kendo oyaro polo gi ngʼeyo mare.
13 When he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings for the rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasuries.
Ka omor ka polo, to pige manie polo wuo; omiyo boche polo dhwolore koa e giko piny. Ooro mil polo gi koth kendo okelo yamo koa e kuondege mag keno.
14 Every man has become brutish, without knowledge. Every goldsmith is put to shame by his graven image. For his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
Ji duto parogi ok ti kendo gionge ngʼeyo; jotheth duto wigi kuot gi nyisechegi manono ma githedho. Kido mage moloso gin gik manono; gionge muya eigi.
15 They are vanity, a work of delusion. In the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Gionge tich, gin gik minyiero; ka ndalogi mar ngʼado bura ochopo, to ginilal nono.
16 The portion of Jacob is not like these. For he is the former of all things, and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance. Jehovah of hosts is his name.
Jalno ma en Pok mar Jakobo ok chal kodgi, nimar en e Jachwech mar gik moko duto, nyaka Israel, ma en dhood girkeni mare, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego e nyinge.
17 Gather up thy wares out of the land, O thou who abides in the siege.
Chokuru giu duto mondo ua e pinyno, un joma ogengʼnigi.
18 For thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel it.
Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “E kindeni machalo kama, abiro daro ji modak e pinyni; anakel sandruok kuomgi mondo mi omakgi.”
19 Woe is me because of my hurt! My wound is grievous, but I said, Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it.
To mano kaka litna nikech hinyruok mara! Adhonda ok thiedhre! Kata kamano awacho ne an owuon ni, “Ma en twona, kendo nyaka angʼi kode.”
20 My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken. My sons have gone forth from me, and they are not. There is none to spread my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
Hemba okethi; tonde mitweyego duto ochodi. Yawuota oweya kendo ok gin koda; onge ngʼama odongʼ manyalo gurona hemba kata gerona kambi.
21 For the shepherds have become brutish, and have not inquired of Jehovah. Therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered.
Jokwath onge rieko to bende ok gipenj Jehova Nyasaye wach; mano emomiyo ok gidhi nyime maber kendo rombe mag-gi duto oke.
22 The voice of news. Behold, it comes, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling-place of jackals.
Chik iti! Wach biro niya, tungni maduongʼ koa e piny man yo nyandwat! Anami dala mag Juda odongʼ nono, kama ondiegi ema odakie.
23 O Jehovah, I know that the way of man is not in himself. It is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
Angʼeyo, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ni ngima dhano ok en mare owuon; ok en mar dhano mondo ochik yorene.
24 O Jehovah, correct me, but in measure, not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
Rieya, Jehova Nyasaye, to mana gi bura makare ma ok e ich wangʼ, ka ok kamano to ditieka chuth.
25 Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name. For they have devoured Jacob. Yea, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.
Ol mirimbi kuom ogendini ma ok ongʼeyi, kuom ji ma ok luong nyingi. Nimar gisetieko Jakobo; gisetieke chuth kendo giseketho dalane.
