Jeremiah 11
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
Ma e wach mane obirone Jeremia koa ir Jehova Nyasaye:
2 “Listen to the words of this covenant and tell them to the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem.
“Chik iti ne chike mag singruokni kendo inyis jo-Juda kod mago modak Jerusalem.
3 You must tell them that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Cursed is the man who does not obey the words of this covenant,
Nyisgi ni ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, wacho: ‘Okwongʼ ngʼatno ma ok oluoro gima singruokni dwaro,
4 which I commanded your forefathers when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, ‘Obey Me, and do everything I command you, and you will be My people, and I will be your God.’
chike mane amiyo kwereu kane agologi Misri, e kendo maliet makakni mach.’ Ne awacho ni, ‘Luora kendo itim gigo duto machikou to unubed joga, an bende nabed Nyasachu.
5 This was in order to establish the oath I swore to your forefathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is to this day.” “Amen, LORD,” I answered.
Bangʼe anachop singo mane asingone kwereu, mar miyogi piny mopongʼ gi chak kod mor kich’ ma en piny mauntiere kawuono.” Ne adwoko Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Amin.”
6 Then the LORD said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: Hear the words of this covenant and carry them out.
Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Go milome mar wechegi duto e mier mag Juda kod jogo manie yore mag Jerusalem: ‘Chikuru itu ne chike mag singruokni kendo ulugi.
7 For from the time I brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt until today, I strongly warned them again and again, saying, ‘Obey My voice.’
Kochakore kinde mane akelo kwereu koa Misri nyaka kawuono, ne asiemogi nyadingʼeny, ka awacho niya, “Luorauru.”
8 Yet they would not obey or incline their ears, but each one followed the stubbornness of his evil heart. So I brought on them all the curses of this covenant I had commanded them to follow but they did not keep.”
To ne ok gichiko itgi kata winja; kuom mano, negiluwo mana timbegi mag jendeke mag chunjegi maricho. Omiyo nakelo kuomgi kwongʼ duto mag singruok mane achikogi mondo gilu to ne ok girito.’”
9 And the LORD told me, “There is a conspiracy among the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachona, “Nitiere winjruok ma lingʼ-lingʼ e kind jo-Juda kod jogo modak Jerusalem.
10 They have returned to the sins of their forefathers who refused to obey My words. They have followed other gods to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken the covenant I made with their fathers.
Gisedok e richo mag kweregi, mane otamore winjo wechega. Giseluwo bangʼ nyiseche manono mondo gitinegi. Od Israel gi od Juda giduto oseketho singruok mane atimo gi kweregi.
11 Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘I am about to bring upon them a disaster that they cannot escape. They will cry out to Me, but I will not listen to them.
Emomiyo ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: ‘Anakelnegi masira ma ok ginyal tonye. Kata bed ni giywakna, ok anawinjgi.
12 Then the cities of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods to which they have been burning incense, but these gods certainly will not save them in their time of disaster.
Mier mag Juda kod jo-Jerusalem nodhi kendo ywakne nyiseche manono ma giwangʼone ubani, to ok ginikonygi ngangʼ ka masira ochopo.
13 Your gods are indeed as numerous as your cities, O Judah; the altars of shame you have set up—the altars to burn incense to Baal—are as many as the streets of Jerusalem.’
Un gi nyiseche manono mangʼeny mana kaka dalau, yaye Juda; bende kendo mar misango museiko mudwaro wangʼone nyasaye manono mar wichkuot miluongo ni Baal ngʼeny mana ka yore mag Jerusalem.’
14 As for you, do not pray for these people. Do not raise up a cry or a prayer on their behalf, for I will not be listening when they call out to Me in their time of disaster.
“Kik ilam ne jogi kata chiwonegi kwayo moro amora kata sayonegi, nikech ok anawinji ka gibiro ira e seche mag masira.
15 What right has My beloved in My house, having carried out so many evil schemes? Can consecrated meat avert your doom, so that you can rejoice?
“Angʼo ma jaherana timo e hekalu mara kochano timbe mamono gi ji mathoth? Bende ringʼo mowal tenge nyalo loko kum mari? Seche mitimo timbe marichogo, ema inie gi mor.”
16 The LORD once called you a flourishing olive tree, beautiful with well-formed fruit. But with a mighty roar He will set it on fire, and its branches will be consumed.
Jehova Nyasaye noluongi ni yadh zeituni madongo maber man-gi olemo moolo maber. To mor matek mar yamb auka enowangʼe ka mach, kendo bedene notur.
17 The LORD of Hosts, who planted you, has decreed disaster against you on account of the evil that the house of Israel and the house of Judah have brought upon themselves, provoking Me to anger by burning incense to Baal.”
Jehova Nyasaye Maratego mane opidhou kaka yath osegolo chik mondo unwangʼ masira, nikech od Israel kod od Juda osetimo maricho kendo gisechwanya ma iya owangʼ kuom wangʼo ubani ne Baal.
18 And the LORD informed me, so I knew. Then You showed me their deeds.
Nikech Jehova Nyasaye nohulona marach mane gichano timo, ne angʼeyo wachno, nimar e kindeno nosefwenyona gima negitimo.
19 For I was like a gentle lamb led to slaughter; I did not know that they had plotted against me: “Let us destroy the tree with its fruit; let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be remembered no more.”
Asebedo kaka nyarombo mamuol mitero kar yengʼo; ne ok afwenyo nine gisechano timona marach, kagiwacho niya, “Watiek yath kaachiel gi olembene; wagole oko oaye piny joma ngima, mondo nyinge kik par kendo.”
20 O LORD of Hosts, who judges righteously, who examines the heart and mind, let me see Your vengeance upon them, for to You I have committed my cause.
To, yaye Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, in ma ingʼado bura gi ratiro kendo pimo chuny kod paro, yie ane mirimbi kuom jogi, nimar in ema aseketoni kwayona.
21 Therefore this is what the LORD says concerning the people of Anathoth who are seeking your life and saying, “You must not prophesy in the name of the LORD, or you will die by our hand.”
“Emomiyo ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho kuom jo-Anathoth madwaro ngimani, ‘Kik ikor e nying Jehova Nyasaye ka ok kamano to ibiro tho e lwetwa.’
22 So this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “I will punish them. Their young men will die by the sword, their sons and daughters by famine.
Kuom mano Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho ni, ‘Anakumgi. Rowere mag-gi noneg gi ligangla, yawuotgi kod nyigi kech nonegi.
23 There will be no remnant, for I will bring disaster on the people of Anathoth in the year of their punishment.”
Onge ngʼato kuomgi manodongʼ, nikech anakel masira ne jo-Anathoth e higa manokumgie.’”
