Jeremias 12

1 Righteous art thou, O Lord, that I may make my defence to thee, yea, I will speak to thee [of] judgments. Why [is it] that the way of ungodly [men] prospers? [that] all that deal very treacherously are flourishing?

In kare kinde duto, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, sa moro amora makelo bucha e nyimi. To kata kamano we mondo awuoye kodi kuom ngʼado bura mari makare: Ere gima omiyo yore mag joma timbegi mono dhi maber? Angʼo momiyo jogo maonge yie odak maber?

2 Thou hast planted them, and they have taken root; they have begotten children, and become fruitful; thou art near to their mouth, and far from their reins.

Isepidhogi, kendo tiendegi osenyaa; gidongo kendo ginywolo olemo. Wechegi osiko e dhogi kinde duto to chunygi bor kodi.

3 But thou, Lord, knowest me; thou hast proved my heart before thee; purify them for the day of their slaughter.

Kata kamano ingʼeya, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; inena kendo ipimo pacha kaka aparo kuomi. Ywagi tenge kaka rombo mitero kar yengʼo! Ketgi tenge ne odiechieng yengʼo!

4 How long shall the land mourn, and the grass of the field wither, for the wickedness of them, that dwell in it? the beasts and birds are utterly destroyed; because [the people] said, God shall not see our ways.

Nyaka karangʼo ma piny biro siko kotwo kendo lum motwi e lege ner? Nikech joma odak e iye timbegi mono, le kod winy osetho. Kata kamano, jogo wacho, “Ok none gima timorenwa.”

5 Thy feet run, and they cause thee to faint; how wilt thou prepare [to ride] upon horses? and thou hast been confident in the land of thy peace? how wilt thou do in the roaring of Jordan?

Ka isepiem gi jogo mawuotho gi tielo ma gioli, to ere kaka inyalo piem gi farese? Ka ichwanyori e piny man-gi kwe, ere kaka inyalo wuotho e bungu man Jordan?

6 For even thy brethren and the house of thy father, even these have dealt treacherously with thee; and they have cried out, they are gathered together in pursuit of thee; trust not thou in them, though they shall speak fair [words] to thee.

Oweteni ma jo-dalau bende osendhogi; kendo gisegolo ywak maduongʼ ka gikwedi. Kik igen kuomgi, kata obedo ni giwuoyo maber kuomi.

7 I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given my beloved one into the hands of her enemies.

“Anajwangʼ oda, anabol girkeni maga; anachiw ngʼatno mahero e lwet wasike.

8 My inheritance has become to me as a lion in a forest; she has uttered her voice against me; therefore have I hated her.

Girkeni osebedona ka sibuor manie bungu. Orutona; omiyo amon kode.

9 Is not my inheritance to me a hyaena's cave, or a cave round about her? Go ye, gather together all the wild beasts of the field, and let them come to devour her.

Donge girkeni maga osebedona ka kweth mag achudhe, ma achudhe mamoko lworo mondo okedgo? Dhi kendo ichok le mag bungu duto; kelgi mondo gikidh joga.

10 Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have defiled my portion, they have made my desirable portion a trackless wilderness;

Jokwath mangʼeny biro ketho puotha mar mzabibu kendo ginyon puotha; gibiro loko puotha mamiyo bedo puodho motwo mojwangʼ.

11 it is made a complete ruin: for my sake the whole land has been utterly ruined, because there is none that lays [the matter] to heart.

Enobed puodho mojwangʼ, motwo, kendo machalo gunda e nyima; pinyno duto noyugno nikech onge ngʼama dewe.

12 The ravagers are come to every passage in the wilderness: for the sword of the Lord will devour from one end of the land to the other: no flesh has any peace.

Kuonde duto mag ongoro motingʼore gi malo mantiere kama otwo, joketho nopongʼ, nimar ligangla Jehova Nyasaye notiekgi, koa e tungʼ piny konchiel nyaka komachielo; maonge ngʼama notony.

13 Sow wheat, and reap thorns; their portions shall not profit them: be ashamed of your boasting, because of reproach before the Lord.

Ginipidh ngano makmana ginikaa kuthe; gini nyagre gi tich to onge ohala ma giniyudi. Omiyo yuduru wichkuot mar keyo maru nikech mirimb Jehova Nyasaye mager.”

14 For thus saith the Lord, concerning all the evil neighbours that touch mine inheritance, which I have divided to my people Israel; Behold, I [will] draw them away from their land, and I will cast out Juda from the midst of them.

Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “To ne jobatha duto ma timbegi mono mamayo joga Israel girkeni mane amiyogi, anapudhgi e pinjegi kendo anagol od Juda e diergi.

15 And it shall come to pass, after I have cast them out, [that] I will return, and have mercy upon them, and will cause them to dwell every one in his inheritance, and every one in his land.

To bangʼ ka asegologi, anakechgi kendo, bende anaduog moro ka moro ir girkeni mare owuon kod pinye owuon.

16 And it shall be, if they will indeed learn the way of my people, to swear by my name, [saying], The Lord lives; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall [that nation] be built in the midst of my people.

Kendo ka gipuonjore maber yore mag joga kendo gikwongʼore gi nyinga, kagiwacho ni, ‘Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima,’ mana kaka negipuonjo joga mondo okwongʼre ne Baal, eka gibiro dak e dier joga.

17 But if they will not return, then will I cut off that nation with utter ruin and destruction.

To ka oganda moro amora ok dwar chiko ite, to anapudhe chuth mi atieke,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.
