Jeremiah 34
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, all his army, all the earthly kingdoms under his control, and all the other nations were fighting against Jerusalem and all its surrounding cities.
Ka Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon kod jolweny mage duto gi pinjeruodhi duto gi ji duto mane ni e gwengʼ mane orito ne kedo gi Jerusalem kod dala mane olwore duto, wachni nobiro ne Jeremia koa ir Jehova Nyasaye:
2 The LORD, the God of Israel, told Jeremiah to go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah and tell him that this is what the LORD says: “Behold, I am about to deliver this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it down.
“Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, wacho: Dhi ir Zedekia ruodh Juda kendo inyise kama, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Achiegni chiwo dala maduongʼni ne ruodh Babulon, kendo enowangʼe pep.
3 And you yourself will not escape his grasp, but will surely be captured and delivered into his hand. You will see the king of Babylon eye to eye and speak with him face to face; and you will go to Babylon.
Ok initony ngangʼ e wachni to adiera enomaki kendo nochiwi ne en. Inine ruodh Babulon gi wengeni iwuon, kendo enowuo kodi wangʼ gi wangʼ kendo inidhi Babulon.
4 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah. This is what the LORD says concerning you: You will not die by the sword;
“‘Kata kamano winj singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye, yaye Zedekia ruodh Juda. Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho kuomi: Ok enonegi gi ligangla;
5 you will die in peace. As spices were burned for your fathers, the former kings who preceded you, so people will burn spices for you and lament, ‘Alas, O master!’ For I Myself have spoken this word, declares the LORD.”
initho gi kwe. Kaka ji noloso mach mar liel mar miyo wuonu luor; ruodhi machon mane otelo nyimi, mondo omi gilos mach mar miyi luor kendo mar ywak, “Aa, yaye jatelo!” An awuon aketo singoni, Jehova Nyasaye owacho.’”
6 In Jerusalem, then, Jeremiah the prophet relayed all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah
Eka Jeremia janabi nonyiso Zedekia ruodh Juda gigo duto e Jerusalem,
7 as the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and the remaining cities of Judah—against Lachish and Azekah. For these were the only fortified cities remaining in Judah.
sa mane jolweny mar ruodh Babulon ne kedo gi Jerusalem kod mier madongo mamoko mag Juda mane pod odongʼ, ma gin Lakish kod Azeka. Magi kende e mier madongo mochiel motegno gohinga mane odongʼ e Juda.
8 After King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem to proclaim liberty, the word came to Jeremiah from the LORD
Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Jeremia bangʼ ka Zedekia noloso winjruok gi ji duto man Jerusalem mondo oland ni wasumbini owe thuolo.
9 that each man should free his Hebrew slaves, both male and female, and no one should hold his fellow Jew in bondage.
Ngʼato ka ngʼato ne onego we misumbane ma ja-Hibrania, madichwo kod ma dhako; onge ngʼama ne dongʼ gi ja-Yahudi wadgi e twech.
10 So all the officials and all the people who entered into this covenant agreed that they would free their menservants and maidservants and no longer hold them in bondage. They obeyed and released them,
Omiyo jotelo duto kod ji mane odonjo e winjruokni noyie ni giniwe thuolo wasumbini mag-gi machwo kod mamon kendo ok ginibed e twech kendo. Ne giyie, kendo ne giwegi thuolo.
11 but later they changed their minds and took back the menservants and maidservants they had freed, and they forced them to become slaves again.
To bangʼe negiloko pachgi mi gikawo kendo wasumbinigi mane giseweyo thuolo mi giketogi gibedo wasumbini kendo.
12 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Jeremia kama:
13 “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I made a covenant with your forefathers when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, saying:
“Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, wacho: Ne aketo winjruok gi kwereu mane agologi gia Misri, e piny mar bedo misumba. Ne awacho ni,
14 Every seventh year, each of you must free his Hebrew brother who has sold himself to you. He may serve you six years, but then you must let him go free. But your fathers did not listen or incline their ear.
‘E higa mar abiriyo ka higa mar abiriyo ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu nyaka we ja-Hibrania wadgi thuolo ma osebedo katiyone. Bangʼ ka osetiyone kuom higni auchiel, nyaka iweye thuolo.’ Wuoneu, kata kamano, ne ok owinja kata luoro chikna.
15 Recently you repented and did what pleased Me; each of you proclaimed freedom for his neighbor. You made a covenant before Me in the house that bears My Name.
Kinde mosekadho machiegni, ne ikwayo weruok kendo ne itimo gima nikare e nyim wangʼa: Un duto ne uyie weyo oweteu thuolo. Bende ne utimo singruok e nyima e ot motingʼo Nyinga.
16 But now you have changed your minds and profaned My name. Each of you has taken back the menservants and maidservants whom you had set at liberty to go wherever they wanted, and you have again forced them to be your slaves.
To koro uselokoru kendo usedwanyo nyinga; uduto usekawo wasumbini machwo kod mamon mane useweyo thuolo mondo gidhi kama gidwaro. Usechunogi mondo gibed wasumbini magu kendo.
17 Therefore this is what the LORD says: You have not obeyed Me; you have not proclaimed freedom, each man for his brother and for his neighbor. So now I proclaim freedom for you, declares the LORD—freedom to fall by sword, by plague, and by famine! I will make you a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth.
“Emomiyo, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Pod ok uluora; pod ok uyie weyo oweteu thuolo. Omiyo koro awacho mondo owenu thuolo mondo onegu gi ligangla, masiche kod kech. Anami ogendini manie piny duto bedo gibuok ka ginenou.
18 And those who have transgressed My covenant and have not fulfilled the terms of the covenant they made before Me, I will treat like the calf they cut in two in order to pass between its pieces.
Chwo duto ma oseketho winjruokna kendo pod ok ochopo winjruok mane giloso e nyima, nakawgi ka nyaroya mane gingʼado nyadiriyo kendo giwuotho e kind lemogo.
19 The officials of Judah and Jerusalem, the court officials, the priests, and all the people of the land who passed between the pieces of the calf,
Jotend Juda gi Jerusalem, jotelo mag agola, jodolo kod ji duto mag pinyni mane owuotho e kind lemo ariyogo,
20 I will deliver into the hands of their enemies who seek their lives. Their corpses will become food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth.
anachiwgi ne wasikgi madwaro ngimagi. Ringregi motho nobed chiemb winy mafuyo e kor polo kod le manie piny.
21 And I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah and his officials into the hands of their enemies who seek their lives, to the army of the king of Babylon that had withdrawn from you.
“Anachiw Zedekia ruodh Juda kod jotende ne wasike madwaro ngimagi, ne jolwenj ruodh Babulon, mosengʼanyo oa kuomu.
22 Behold, I am going to give the command, declares the LORD, and I will bring them back to this city. They will fight against it, capture it, and burn it down. And I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.”
Anachiw chik, Jehova Nyasaye wacho, kendo anadwog-gi e dala maduongʼni. Giniked kode, ginikawe kendo giwangʼe pep. Kendo anaketh dala mag Juda mondo kik ngʼato angʼata dag kanyo.”
