Jeremiah 13
1 The LORD said to me, “Go, and buy yourself a linen belt, and put it on your waist, and do not put it in water.”
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye nowachona: “Dhi kendo ingʼiew kamba mar law kendo itweye e nungoni, to kik iweye omak pi.”
2 So I bought a belt according to the LORD’s word, and put it on my waist.
Omiyo nangʼiewo kamba, kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochika, mi atweye e nungona.
3 The LORD’s word came to me the second time, saying,
Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kendo mar ariyo:
4 “Take the belt that you have bought, which is on your waist, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.”
“Kaw kamba mane ingʼiewo kendo itweyo e nungoni, kendo idhi Perath mi ipande kanyo e bur manie kind lwanda.”
5 So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.
Omiyo ne adhi mi apande Perath, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nonyisa.
6 After many days, the LORD said to me, “Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take the belt from there, which I commanded you to hide there.”
Bangʼ ndalo mangʼeny Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Dhi sani Perath kendo ikaw kamba mane anyisi ni ipand kanyo.”
7 Then I went to the Euphrates, and dug, and took the belt from the place where I had hidden it; and behold, the belt was ruined. It was profitable for nothing.
Omiyo ne adhi Perath mi akunyo kambano kendo akawe kama ne apande, makmana nosekethore kendo obedo maonge tich chuth.
8 Then the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona:
9 “The LORD says, ‘In this way I will ruin the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
“Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: ‘Anatiek sunga mar Juda kod sunga malich mar Jerusalem mana e yo machalre kamano.
10 This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and have gone after other gods to serve them and to worship them, will even be as this belt, which is profitable for nothing.
Joma timbegi mono gi, motamore winjo wechega, matimo gima chunygi ema ohero, ma bende luwo bangʼ nyiseche manono mondo gitine kendo gilamgi, biro chalo gi kambani makoro onge tich chuth!’
11 For as the belt clings to the waist of a man, so I have caused the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah to cling to me,’ says the LORD; ‘that they may be to me for a people, for a name, for praise, and for glory; but they would not hear.’
Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, ‘Nimar kaka okanda itweyo e nungo dhano, omiyo ne atweyo od Israel duto kod od Juda duto kuoma, mondo gibed joga miluongo gi nyinga, ma kelona pak kod duongʼ. To kata kamano negitamore winja.’
12 “Therefore you shall speak to them this word: ‘The LORD, the God of Israel says, “Every container should be filled with wine.”’ They will tell you, ‘Do we not certainly know that every container should be filled with wine?’
“Wachnegi ni: ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: Ndede duto mag divai onego opongʼ gi divai.’ To kagiwacho ni, ‘Donge wangʼeyo ni ndede mag divai onego pongʼ gi divai?’
13 Then tell them, ‘The LORD says, “Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings who sit on David’s throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
To nyisgi ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Anami ji duto modak e pinyni njawre gi mer, kaachiel gi ruodhi mobet e kom duongʼ mar Daudi, jodolo, jonabi kod jogo duto modak Jerusalem.
14 I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together,” says the LORD: “I will not pity, spare, or have compassion, that I should not destroy them.”’”
Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, Anami ji duto tuomre ngʼato gi ngʼato, wuone kod yawuotgi machalre. Kechna gi herana kod ngʼwonona ok nomona tiekogi.’”
15 Hear, and give ear. Do not be proud, for the LORD has spoken.
Winji kendo ichik iti, kik ibed jangʼayi, nimar Jehova Nyasaye osewuoyo.
16 Give glory to the LORD your God, before he causes darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and while you look for light, he turns it into the shadow of death, and makes it deep darkness.
Mi Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachi duongʼ ka pod ok okelo mudho, kapok tiendeni ochwanyore, e gode matindo motimo mudho. Ugombo ler, to enoloke mudho mandiwa mi oloke kuyo malich.
17 But if you will not hear it, my soul will weep in secret for your pride. My eye will weep bitterly, and run down with tears, because the LORD’s flock has been taken captive.
To ka ok uchiko itu, anaywagi apanda nikech sunga magu; wengena noywagi malit, ka gipongʼ gi pi wangʼ, nikech rombe mag Jehova Nyasaye noter e twech.
18 Say to the king and to the queen mother, “Humble yourselves. Sit down, for your crowns have come down, even the crown of your glory.
Wachne ruoth kod min ruoth niya, “Loruru uaye kombeu mag duongʼ, nimar osimbo mau mag duongʼ nolwar koa e wiyeu.”
19 The cities of the South are shut up, and there is no one to open them. Judah is carried away captive: all of them. They are wholly carried away captive.
Mier madongo man Negev nolor, kendo onge ngʼama noyawgi. Juda duto noter e twech, notergi mabor chuth.
20 Lift up your eyes, and see those who come from the north. Where is the flock that was given to you, your beautiful flock?
Tingʼuru wangʼu malo kendo une joma aa yo nyandwat. Ere kweth mane oket e lwetu, rombe mane usungorugo?
21 What will you say when he sets over you as head those whom you have yourself taught to be friends to you? Will not sorrows take hold of you, as of a woman in travail?
Unuwach angʼo ka Jehova Nyasaye oketo ewiu, jogo mane uparo ni osiepeu kaka jotendu? Donge rem nokayi kaka dhako mamuoch kayo?
22 If you say in your heart, “Why have these things come on me?” Your skirts are uncovered because of the greatness of your iniquity, and your heels suffer violence.
Kendo ka ipenjori iwuon, “Angʼo momiyo ma osetimorena?” En nikech richo mau mangʼeny omiyo dugu oseneno kendo dendu osekethore.
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Then may you also do good, who are accustomed to do evil.
Bende ja-Kush nyalo loko kit piene kata kwach nyalo loko kido man kuome? Kamano bende ok inyal timo maber, in ngʼatno mongʼiyo gi timbe maricho.
24 “Therefore I will scatter them as the stubble that passes away by the wind of the wilderness.
“Anakeu ka mihudhwe miriembo gi yamb kalausi.
25 This is your lot, the portion measured to you from me,” says the LORD, “because you have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.”
Ma e pokni ma asechiwoni,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho, “nikech wiu osewil koda kendo useketo genou kuom nyiseche manono.
26 Therefore I will also uncover your skirts on your face, and your shame will appear.
Anaelu duge mi aum wengeu mondo omi wichkuot mau onere,
27 I have seen your abominations, even your adulteries and your neighing, the lewdness of your prostitution, on the hills in the field. Woe to you, Jerusalem! You will not be made clean. How long will it yet be?”
kaka terruok mau kod gombo mau mandhaga, kod chode mau maonge wichkuot! Aseneno timbeu mamono ewi gode matindo kod e pewe. Mano kaka nine malit, yaye Jerusalem! Nyaka karangʼo mibiro bedo mochido?”
