Jeremiah 16
1 The word of Jehovah came also to me, saying,
Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona:
2 Thou shall not take thee a wife, nor shall thou have sons or daughters, in this place.
“Kik ikendi mondo kik inywol yawuowi kata nyiri ka.”
3 For thus says Jehovah concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who begot them in this land:
Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho kuom yawuowi gi nyiri monywol e pinyni kendo kuom mon ma minegi kod chwo ma wuonegi:
4 They shall die grievous deaths. They shall not be lamented, nor shall they be buried; they shall be as dung upon the face of the ground. And they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine. And their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth.
“Ginitho gi tuoche maricho richo. Ok nogo nduchgi kata ik bende ok noikgi, to ginichal ka owuoyo manie lowo. Ligangla kod kech noneg-gi, to ringregi nobed chiemb winy mafuyo e kor polo kod le manie piny.”
5 For thus says Jehovah, Enter not into the house of mourning, nor go to lament, nor bemoan them, for I have taken away my peace from this people, says Jehovah, even loving kindness and tender mercies.
Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Kik idonj e ot mantiere chiemb liel; kik iywagi bende kik ikechgi, nikech asegolo gwethna, herana kod ngʼwonona kuom jogi.
6 Both great and small shall die in this land. They shall not be buried, nor shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them,
Joma iwuoro to gi ji ajiya notho e pinyni. Ok noikgi kendo ok noywag-gi, bende onge ngʼama nongʼad dende kata lielo wiye nikech gin.
7 nor shall men break bread for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead, nor shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
Onge ngʼama nochiw chiemo mondo oogo joma goyo nduch joma otho kata mana newuoro kata miyo bende onge ngʼama nomigi math mondo oogi.
8 And thou shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and to drink.
“Kendo kik idonj e ot mantiere nyasi ma ibed piny mondo ichiem kendo metho.
9 For thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.
Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: E ndalo ngimau kendo ka uneno anatiek koko mar ilo kae kod wende mag nyako midhi kendi kod wuowi madhi kendo.
10 And it shall come to pass, when thou shall show this people all these words, and they shall say to thee, Why has Jehovah pronounced all this great evil against us? Or what is our iniquity? Or what is our sin that we have committed against Jehovah our God?
“Ka inyiso jogi gigi duto to gipenji ni, ‘Angʼo momiyo Jehova Nyasaye osechikonwa masira malich ka ma? Angʼo ma wasetimo marach? Richo mane ma wasetimo ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa?’
11 Then thou shall say to them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, says Jehovah, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshiped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law.
Eka iwachnegi ni Jehova Nyasaye owacho ni, ‘Nikech wuoneu nojwangʼa, mi giluwo bangʼ nyiseche manono mi gitiyonegi kendo lamogi. Ne gikweda kendo ok girito chikna.
12 And ye have done evil more than your fathers, for, behold, ye walk each one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that ye hearken not to me.
To usebedo joma timbegi mono moloyo wuoneu. Ne kaka ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu luwo timbe manono mag chuny kar mondo gilwora.
13 Therefore I will cast you forth out of this land into the land that ye have not known, neither ye nor your fathers, and there ye shall serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.
Kuom mano, anawitu oko mar pinyni nyaka e piny ma un kata wuoneu ok osengʼeyo, kendo kanyo unutine nyiseche moko manono odiechiengʼ gi otieno, nimar ok anangʼwon-nu.’”
14 Therefore, behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that it shall no more be said, As Jehovah lives who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,
Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “Kata kamano, ndalo biro, ma dhano ok nochak owachi ni, ‘Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima, manogolo jo-Israel Misri,’
15 but, As Jehovah lives who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries where he had driven them. And I will bring them again into their land that I gave to their fathers.
to giniwach ni, ‘Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima, manogolo jo-Israel e piny ma yo nyandwat kendo koa e pinje duto kama ne oseriembogie.’ Nimar anadwog-gi e piny mane amiyo kweregi.”
16 Behold, I will send for many fishermen, says Jehovah, and they shall fish them up. And afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks.
Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “To anaor jolupo mangʼeny kendo ginimakgi. Bangʼ mano anaor jodwar mangʼeny, kendo ginidwargi e got maduongʼ kod mago matindo kendo e kuonde pondo mokunyore e lwendni.
17 For my eyes are upon all their ways. They are not hid from my face, nor is their iniquity concealed from my eyes.
Wengena ne oneno timbegi duto; ok gipondona, bende richogo ok opondona.
18 And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled my inheritance with their abominations.
Anachulgi nyadiriyo kuom timbegi mamono kod richo mag-gi, nikech gisenjawo pinya kod gigi mopa maonge ngima kendo gisepongʼo girkeni mara gi nyisechegi manono maonge tich.”
19 O Jehovah, my strength, and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, to thee the nations shall come from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, even vanity and things in which there is no profit.
Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, in e tekona kod ohingana, kar pondona e ndalo chandruok, in ema ogendini nobi iri koa e tungʼ piny ka tungʼ piny mi giwachi ni, “Wuonewa ne onge gimoro to mana nyiseche manono mag miriambo, nyiseche mopa maonge tich mane ok otimonegi ber moro amora.
20 Shall a man make to himself gods, which yet are no gods?
Bende ji loso nyisechegi giwegi? Ee, to ok gin nyiseche!”
21 Therefore, behold, I will cause them to know, this once I will cause them to know my hand and my might, and they shall know that my name is Jehovah.
“Emomiyo anapuonjgi kendo tinendeni anapuonjgi, tekona gi nyalona. Eka giningʼe ni nyinga en Jehova Nyasaye.”
