Jeremias 41
1 The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord (now Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the country of his dominion, were warring against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Juda, ) saying,
E dwe mar abiriyo Ishmael wuod Nethania, ma wuod Elishama, mane aa e anywola mar joka ruoth kendo ma bende ne achiel kuom jotend ruoth, nobiro Mizpa gi ji apar ir Gedalia wuod Ahikam. E kinde mane gichiemo kanyakla kanyo,
2 Thus has the Lord said; Go to Sedekias king of Juda, and you shall say to him, Thus has the Lord said, This city shall certainly be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it, and shall burn it with fire:
Ishmael wuod Nethania kod ji apar mane ni kode nochungʼ malo kendo onego Gedalia wuod Ahikam, ma wuod Shafan, gi ligangla, ma ginego ngʼatno ma ruodh Babulon noyiero kaka jatelo e pinyno.
3 and you shall not escape out of his hand, but shall certainly be taken, and shall be given into his hands; and your eyes shall see his eyes, and you shall enter into Babylon.
Ishmael nonego bende jo-Yahudi duto mane nigi Gedalia Mizpa, kaachiel gi jolwenj Babulon mane ni kanyo.
4 But hear the word of the Lord, O Sedekias king of Juda; Thus says the Lord,
Kinyne ka Gedalia nosenegi, ka pod ngʼato angʼata ne ok ongʼeyo wachni,
5 You shall die in peace: and as they wept for your fathers that reigned before you, they shall weep also for you, [saying], Ah lord! and they shall lament for you down to the grave: for I have spoken the word, said the Lord.
chwo piero aboro mane olielo tikgi mapoth, manoyiecho lepgi kendo mongʼado dendgi nobiro koa Shekem, Shilo kod Samaria, ka gikelo chiwo mar cham gi ubani e od Jehova Nyasaye.
6 And Jeremias spoke to king Sedekias all these words in Jerusalem.
Ishmael wuod Nethania noa Mizpa mondo orom kodgi, ka oywak e sache mane odhi. Kane oromo kodgi, nowachonegi niya, “Biuru ir Gedalia wuod Ahikam.”
7 And the host of the king of Babylon warred against Jerusalem, and against the cities of Juda, and against Lachis, and against Azeca: for these strong cities were left amongst the cities of Juda.
Kane gidhi e dala maduongʼ, Ishmael wuod Nethania kod chwo mane ni kode nonegogi mi owitogi ei bur.
8 The word that came from the Lord to Jeremias, after king Sedekias had concluded a covenant with the people, to proclaim a release;
To ji apar kuomgi nowachone Ishmael niya, “Kik inegwa! Wan gi ngano kod shairi gi mo, kod mor kich, mwapando e puothe.” Omiyo noweyogi kendo ne ok onegogi gi joma moko.
9 That every one should set at liberty his servant, and every one has handmaid, the Hebrew man and Hebrew woman, that no man of Juda should be a bondman.
Koro buche mane owitoe ringre chwo duto mane osenego kaachiel gi Gedalia ne en mano mane Ruoth Asa oloso kaka kar pondone kane okedo gi Baasha ruodh Israel. Ishmael wuod Nethania nopongʼe gi ringre joma otho.
10 Then all the nobles, and all the people who had entered into the covenant, [engaging] to set free every one his man-servant, and every one his maid, turned,
Ishmael nomako jogo mane odongʼ duto ei Mizpa mane gin nyi ruoth kaachiel gi jogo duto mane odongʼ kanyo, jogo mane Nebuzaradan jatend lweny mar piny noketo Gedalia wuod Ahikam mondo oriti. Ishmael wuod Nethania nomakogi kendo negichako ka gingʼado gidhi loka Amon.
11 and gave them over to be menservants and maidservants.
Ka Johanan wuod Karea kod jotend lweny duto mane ni kode nowinjo timbe njore duto mane Ishmael wuod Nethania nosetimo,
12 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying,
negikawo jolweny mag-gi duto mi gidhi mondo giked gi Ishmael wuod Nethania. Ne gijuke but pi maduongʼ man Gibeon.
13 Thus says the Lord; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day wherein I took them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying,
Ka jogo mane nigi Ishmael omako noneno Johanan wuod Karea kod jotend lweny mane ni kode, negimor.
14 When six years are accomplished, you shall set free your brother the Hebrew, who shall be sold to you: for he shall serve you six years, and [then] you shall let him go free: but they listened not to me, and inclined not their ear.
Jogo duto mane Ishmael omako Mizpa nolokore modhi ir Johanan wuod Karea.
15 And this day they turned to do that which was right in my sight, to proclaim every one the release of his neighbour; and they had concluded a covenant before me, in the house whereon my name is called.
To Ishmael wuod Nethania kod joge aboro notony oa ir Johanan mi giringo gidhi ir jo-Amon.
16 But you turned and profaned my name, to bring back every one his servant, and every one his handmaid, whom you had sent forth free [and] at their own disposal, to be to you menservants and maidservants.
Eka Johanan wuod Karea kod jotend lweny duto mane ni kode nokawo joma notony duto mane oa Mizpa, ma noreso e lwet Ishmael wuod Nethania bangʼ kane osenego Gedalia wuod Ahikam; mane gin jolweny, mon, nyithindo kod jodongo mane obirogo koa Gibeon.
17 Therefore thus said the Lord; You have not listened to me, to proclaim a release every one to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a release to you, to the sword, and to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will give you up to dispersion [amongst] all the kingdoms of the earth.
Kendo negidhi nyime, ma gichungʼ Geruth Kimham but Bethlehem ka gidhi Misri,
18 And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, who have not kept my covenant, which they made before me, the calf which they prepared to sacrifice with it,
mondo gipondne jo-Babulon. Ne giluorogi nikech Ishmael wuod Nethania nosenego Gedalia wuod Ahikam, mane ruodh Babulon oyiero kaka jatelo e pinyno.
19 the princes of Juda, and the men in power, and the priests, and the people;
20 I will even give them to their enemies, and their carcases shall be food for the birds of the sky and for the wild beasts of the earth.
21 And I will give Sedekias king of Judea, and their princes, into the hands of their enemies, and the host of the king of Babylon [shall come upon] them that run away from them.
22 Behold, I [will] give command, says the Lord, and will bring them back to this land; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire, and the cities of Juda; and I will make them desolate without inhabitants.
