Jeremiah 48
1 Concerning Moab, this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Woe to Nebo, for it will be devastated. Kiriathaim will be captured and disgraced; the fortress will be shattered and dismantled.
To kuom Moab: Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel wacho: “Mano kaka nobed malit ne Nebo, nimar enokethe. Kiriathaim nokuod wiye kendo enomake; kar pondogi nobed kama inyiero kendo nomuke.
2 There is no longer praise for Moab; in Heshbon they devise evil against her: ‘Come, let us cut her off from nationhood.’ You too, O people of Madmen, will be silenced; the sword will pursue you.
Pak mar Moab ok nobedi kendo; ji nochan kethruokne ei Heshbon kagiwacho kama: ‘Biuru, watiek pinyni.’ Yaye joma odak Madmen, un bende ligangla nolawu mulingʼ thii.
3 A voice cries out from Horonaim: ‘Devastation and great destruction!’
Winj ywak moa Horonaim, ywak mar duwruok maduongʼ gi kethruok.
4 Moab will be shattered; her little ones will cry out.
Moab nokethi; nyithinde matindo noywagre.
5 For on the ascent to Luhith they weep bitterly as they go, and on the descent to Horonaim cries of distress resound over the destruction:
Giidho ka giluwo yo madhi Luhith, gi ywak malit ka gidhi; e yo maridore kadhi Horonaim kendo ywak malit mar kethruok winjore.
6 ‘Flee! Run for your lives! Become like a juniper in the desert.’
Ringuru! Ringuru ukony ngimau; muchal gi bungu manie thim!
7 Because you trust in your works and treasures, you too will be captured, and Chemosh will go into exile with his priests and officials.
Nikech ugeno kuom timbeu kod mwandu mau, un bende nomaku, kendo Kemosh noter e twech, kanyakla gi jodolo mage kod jotelo mage.
8 The destroyer will move against every city, and not one town will escape. The valley will also be ruined, and the high plain will be destroyed, as the LORD has said.
Jaketh gik moko nobi e dala ka dala kendo onge dala ma notony. Holo noum kendo got mar mesa nomuki, nikech Jehova Nyasaye osewacho.
9 Put salt on Moab, for she will be laid waste; her cities will become desolate, with no one to dwell in them.
Ket chumbi kuom Moab, nimar enotieke; miechgi nodongʼ gunda, maonge ngʼama nodagi eigi.
10 Cursed is the one who is remiss in doing the work of the LORD, and cursed is he who withholds his sword from bloodshed.
“Okwongʼ ngʼat mayom yom e tich Jehova Nyasaye! Okwongʼ ngʼat ma okano liganglane ma ok ochwerogo remo!
11 Moab has been at ease from youth, settled like wine on its dregs; he has not been poured from vessel to vessel or gone into exile. So his flavor has remained the same, and his aroma is unchanged.
“Moab oseyweyo chakre tin-ne, ka divai mowe mos e aguche, ma ok ool koa ei agulu achiel kiloko machielo kendo pod ok odhi e twech. Omiyo ndhathe pod nikare, kendo tik mare ok olokore.”
12 Therefore behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will send to him wanderers, who will pour him out. They will empty his vessels and shatter his jars.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Kinde biro, ma anaor ji manopuke oko, kendo gini ole oko; giniwe agulni mage nono kendo toyo agulni mage.
13 Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, just as the house of Israel was ashamed when they trusted in Bethel.
Eka Moab wiye nokuodi gi Kemosh, mana kaka od Israel wiye nokuot, kane gin-gi geno kuom Bethel.
14 How can you say, ‘We are warriors, mighty men ready for battle’?
“Ere kaka inyalo wacho ni, ‘Wan jokedo, ji mathuondi maroteke e lweny’?”
15 Moab has been destroyed and its towns have been invaded; the best of its young men have gone down in the slaughter, declares the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts.
Ruoth, ma nyinge Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, “Moab nokethi kendo mier mage nomonji; yawuote mabeyo noter e kar nek.
16 Moab’s calamity is at hand, and his affliction is rushing swiftly.
Podho mar Moab osechopone; masichene nobi mapiyo.
17 Mourn for him, all you who surround him, everyone who knows his name; tell how the mighty scepter is shattered— the glorious staff!
Ywageuru, un jogo duto modak machiegni kode, un jogo duto mongʼeyo humbe; wachuru ni, ‘Mano kaka otur odunga mar loch maratego, mano kaka otur ludh duongʼ!’
18 Come down from your glory; sit on parched ground, O daughter dwelling in Dibon, for the destroyer of Moab has come against you; he has destroyed your fortresses.
“Auru malo e duongʼu ulor piny kendo ubedi e lowo motwo, yaye jodak mar Nyar Dibon, nimar ngʼama oketho Moab nobi mondo oked kodu, kendo otiek miechu madongo mochiel motegno gohinga.
19 Stand by the road and watch, O dweller of Aroer! Ask the man fleeing or the woman escaping, ‘What has happened?’
Chunguru e bath yo kendo ungʼi, un joma odak Aroer. Penj dichwo maringo kod dhako maringo, ni, Angʼo mosetimore?
20 Moab is put to shame, for it has been shattered. Wail and cry out! Declare by the Arnon that Moab is destroyed.
Okuod wi Moab, nimar ongʼinje matindo tindo. Dengi kendo iywag matek! Land e Arnon ni Moab okethi.
21 Judgment has come upon the high plain— upon Holon, Jahzah, and Mephaath,
Ngʼado bura osebiro e got mar mesa kuom Holon, Jaza kod Mefath,
22 upon Dibon, Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim,
kuom Dibon, Nebo kod Beth Diblathaim,
23 upon Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon,
kuom Kiriathaim, Beth Gamul kod Beth Mion,
24 upon Kerioth, Bozrah, and all the towns of Moab, those far and near.
kuom Kerioth gi Bozra, kuom mier duto mag Moab, man mabor kod mago man machiegni.
25 The horn of Moab has been cut off, and his arm is broken,”
Tung Moab ongʼad oko; bade otur,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.
26 “Make him drunk, because he has magnified himself against the LORD; so Moab will wallow in his own vomit, and he will also become a laughingstock.
“Kete omer, nimar osetamore winjo Jehova Nyasaye. We Moab odwanyre e ngʼokne; we obed gima ijaro.
27 Was not Israel your object of ridicule? Was he ever found among thieves? For whenever you speak of him you shake your head.
Donge Israel ema ne ijaro? Bende nomake e dier jokwoge, ma itengʼone wiyi gi achaya sa moro amora miwuoyo kuome?
28 Abandon the towns and settle among the rocks, O dwellers of Moab! Be like a dove that nests at the mouth of a cave.
Jwangʼuru miechu kendo udagi e kind lwendni, un joma odak Moab. Chaluru ka akuch odugla maloso ode e dho rogo.
29 We have heard of Moab’s pomposity, his exceeding pride and conceit, his proud arrogance and haughtiness of heart.
“Wasewinjo sunga mar Moab, sungane mokadhore gi miriambo, sunga mare gi jendeke mare kod ngʼayi mar chunye.”
30 I know his insolence,” declares the LORD, “but it is futile. His boasting is as empty as his deeds.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Angʼeyo mirimbe to oonge tiende, kendo ngʼayi mage ok nyal gimoro.
31 Therefore I will wail for Moab; I will cry out for all of Moab; I will moan for the men of Kir-heres.
Emomiyo aywak kadengo kuom Moab, nimar kuom Moab duto aywak, aywago jo-Kir Hareseth.
32 I will weep for you, O vine of Sibmah, more than I weep for Jazer. Your tendrils have extended to the sea; they reach even to Jazer. The destroyer has descended on your summer fruit and grape harvest.
Aywagou, kaka Jazer ywak, yaye mzabibu mag Sibma. Bedeni kar machopo e nam; negichopo nyaka e nam mar Jazer. Jaketh gik moko osepodho e olembegi mochiek kod olemo mar mzabibu.
33 Joy and gladness are removed from the orchard and from the fields of Moab. I have stopped the flow of wine from the presses; no one treads them with shouts of joy; their shouts are not for joy.
Ilo gi mor orumo e puoth olembe kod puothe mag Moab. Asechungo chwer mar divai koa e kuonde mibiyogie; onge ngʼama nyonogi gi koko mar ilo. Kata obedo ni nitiere koko, ok gin koko mar ilo.
34 There is a cry from Heshbon to Elealeh; they raise their voices to Jahaz, from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah; for even the waters of Nimrim have dried up.
“Dwond ywak mag-gi winjore koa Heshbon nyaka Eleale gi Jahaz, koa Zoar nyaka chop Horonaim gi Eglath Shelishiya, nimar kata pige mag Nimrim bende osetwo.
35 In Moab, declares the LORD, I will bring an end to those who make offerings on the high places and burn incense to their gods.
E Moab anatiek jogo matimo misengini e kuonde motingʼore gi malo, kendo ma wangʼo ubani ne nyisechegi,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.
36 Therefore My heart laments like a flute for Moab; it laments like a flute for the men of Kir-heres, because the wealth they acquired has perished.
“Omiyo chunya ywagorene Moab ka asili; oywagore ka asili ne jo-Kir Hareseth. Mwandu mane giyudo oserumo.
37 For every head is shaved and every beard is clipped; on every hand is a gash, and around every waist is sackcloth.
Wich ka wich oliel kendo yie tik ka yie tik ongʼad oko; lwedo ka lwedo otongʼ oko kendo nungo ka nungo oum gi law ywak.
38 On all the rooftops of Moab and in the public squares, everyone is mourning; for I have shattered Moab like an unwanted jar,”
Ewi tat udi duto man Moab kendo e laru mar galamoro onge gimoro makmana ywak, nimar aseketho Moab ka agulu motore maonge ngʼama dwaro,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.
39 “How shattered it is! How they wail! How Moab has turned his back in shame! Moab has become an object of ridicule and horror to all those around him.”
“Mano kaka otieke! Mano kaka gidengo! Mano kaka Moab loko ngʼeye kopondo nikech wichkuot! Moab osebedo gir ajara, gima bwogo ji duto man bute.”
40 For this is what the LORD says: “Behold, an eagle swoops down and spreads his wings against Moab.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Ne! Otenga fuyo kochiko piny, oyaro bwombene ewi Moab.
41 Kirioth has been taken, and the strongholds seized. In that day the heart of Moab’s warriors will be like the heart of a woman in labor.
Kerioth nomaki kendo kuondegi mag pondo nokaw. E odiechiengno chunje mag jolwenj Moab nochal gi chuny dhako mamuoch kayo.
42 Moab will be destroyed as a nation because he vaunted himself against the LORD.
Moab notieki kaka oganda nikech ne otamore winjo Jehova Nyasaye.
43 Terror and pit and snare await you, O dweller of Moab,”
Masira maduongʼ gi bur matut kod otegu ritou, yaye jo-Moab,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.
44 “Whoever flees the panic will fall into the pit, and whoever climbs from the pit will be caught in the snare. For I will bring upon Moab the year of their punishment,”
“Ngʼatno manotem tony nikech masira nolwar e bur matut, ngʼatno manotem kawuok ei bur matut, nomak gi obadho; nimar anakel magi kuom Moab e higa mar kum,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.
45 “Those who flee will stand helpless in Heshbon’s shadow, because fire has gone forth from Heshbon and a flame from within Sihon. It devours the foreheads of Moab and the skulls of the sons of tumult.
“E tipo mar Heshbon joma noringo odongʼ ka ok nyal, nimar mach osemoko liel Heshbon kendo ligek mach osewuok e dier Sihon; owangʼo lela wangʼ Moab, kod choke wich mag jongʼayigo!
46 Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh have perished; for your sons have been taken into exile and your daughters have gone into captivity.
Mano kaka inine malit, yaye Moab! Jo-Kemosh otieki; yawuoti oter e twech, kendo nyigi oket wasumbini.
47 Yet in the latter days I will restore Moab from captivity,” declares the LORD. Here ends the judgment on Moab.
“Kata kamano anaduog gweth mag Moab e ndalo mabiro,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho. Ma e giko mar ngʼadone Moab bura.
