Jeremiah 17
1 “The sin of Judah has been written with a pen of iron and a point of diamond. It has been engraved upon the breadth of their heart and upon the horns of their shrines.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Richo mar Juda ondik gi kalamb chuma; ogor gi gima bith e chunygi, kendo e tunge kende mag misango miwangʼoe liswa.
2 And their sons make a remembrance of their shrines, and their sacred groves, and their leafy trees on high mountains,
Kata mana nyithindgi paro kendegi mag misango miwangʼoe liswa, kod sirni mag Ashera mantie bath yiende motimo otiep, kendo e gode matindo motingʼore gi malo.
3 by sacrificing in the field. And so, I will give over your strength and all your treasures to be despoiled, along with your exalted places of sin, within all your borders.
Goda maduongʼ manie piny kod mwanduni gi nyak magi duto anami wasiki, kaachiel gi kuonde magi motingʼore gi malo, nikech richo manie pinyu duto.
4 And you will be left behind without your inheritance, which I gave to you. And I will cause you to serve your enemies in a land that you do not know. For you have kindled a fire in my fury; it shall burn, even unto eternity.”
Kethou uwegi nomi nomau girkeni mane amiyou. Anami ubed wasumb wasiku e piny ma ok ungʼeyo, nimar usemedo mirimba, kendo enowangʼ nyaka chiengʼ.”
5 Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is a man who trusts in man, and who establishes what is flesh as his right arm, and whose heart withdraws from the Lord.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Okwongʼ ngʼatno ma genone ni kuom dhano, ngʼatno mogeno kuom ringruok mondo omiye teko, kendo ma chunye aa kuom Jehova Nyasaye.
6 For he will be like a saltcedar tree in the desert. And he will not perceive it, when what is good has arrived. Instead, he will live in dryness, in a desert, in a land of salt, which is uninhabitable.
Enochal ka bungu manie thim; ok enowinj maber ka ber obiro. Enodag kuonde motwo motimo ongoro, kama otimo chumbi maonge ngʼama odakie.
7 Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, for the Lord will be his confidence.
“To ogwedh ngʼatno moketo geno mare kuom Jehova Nyasaye, kendo oyie kuome.
8 And he will be like a tree planted beside waters, which sends out its roots to moist soil. And it will not fear when the heat arrives. And its leaves will be green. And in the time of drought, it will not be anxious, nor will it cease at any time to bear fruit.
Enochal gi yien mopidh but pi ma tiende nyaa e tiend aora. Ok obed gi luoro ka liet obiro; ite osiko mana ka ngʼich. Oonge gi parruok e higa mar oro kendo ok owe ma ok onyago olemo.”
9 The heart is depraved above all things, and it is unsearchable, who can know it?
Chuny en jawuond moloyo gik moko duto kendo ok nyal thiedhe. En ngʼa manyalo ngʼeye?
10 I am the Lord, who examines the heart and tests the temperament, who gives to each one according to his way and according to the fruit of his own decisions.
“An Jehova Nyasaye ema anono chuny kendo apimo paro, mondo achiwne ngʼato kaluwore gi timne, kendo kaluwore gi kaka kite chalo.”
11 A partridge has hatched eggs that she did not lay; a man has gathered riches, but without judgment. In the midst of his days, he will leave it all behind, and he will be foolish concerning his very end.”
Kaka winyo ma butno e tongʼ mane ok onywolo, e kaka ngʼatno mayudo mwandu gi yore ma ok kare. Ka nus ngimane oserumo, mwandune noweye, kendo gikone nonere malongʼo ni en ngʼama ofuwo.
12 “A high and glorious throne is the place of our sanctification from the beginning.
Kom duongʼ, motingʼ malo aa chakruok, e kama ler mar lemo marwa.
13 O Lord, Hope of Israel: all who forsake you will be confounded. Those who withdraw from you will be written into the earth. For they have abandoned the Lord, the Source of living waters.
Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, geno mar Israel, jogo duto mojwangʼi noyud wichkuot. Jogo molokoni ngʼegi nondik nying-gi e buru nikech gisejwangʼo Jehova Nyasaye, soko mar pi ngima.
14 Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed. Save me, and I will be saved. For you are my praise.
Changa, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kendo anachangi; resa kendo anaresra, nimar in kendi ema apaki.
15 Behold, they themselves are saying to me: ‘Where is the word of the Lord? Let it come.’
Gisiko ka giwachona ni, “Ere wach Jehova Nyasaye? Dak otimre sani!”
16 But I am not troubled; I am following you as my shepherd. And I have not desired the day of man, as you know. That which has gone forth from my lips has been right in your sight.
Pok aweyo bedo jakwath mari; ingʼeyo ni pok agombo odiechiengʼ mar thagruok. Gima wuok e dhoga ingʼeyo.
17 May you not be a dread to me. You are my hope in the day of affliction.
Kik ilokrina masira; in e kar pondana e kinde mar thagruok.
18 May those who persecute me be confounded, but may I not be confounded. May they be fearful, and may I not be fearful. Lead over them the day of affliction, and crush them with a double destruction.”
Mad jogo masanda ne wichkuot, to an kik wiya kuodi; mad gibed gi bwok maduongʼ to an kik ibwoga. Kel gigi kuomgi e kinde mar masira; kethgi gi kethruok manyadiriyo.
19 Thus says the Lord to me: “Go, and stand at the gate of the sons of the people, through which the kings of Judah enter and depart, and at all the gates of Jerusalem.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye nowachona: “Dhi kendo ichungʼ e dhorangach miluongo ni dhoranga ji, kama ruodhi mag Juda donjogo kendo wuok godo oko; chungʼ bende e rangeye duto mag Jerusalem.
20 And you shall say to them: Listen to the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah, and all of Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, who enter through these gates.”
Wachnegi, ‘Winj wach Jehova Nyasaye, yaye ruodhi mag Juda kod jo-Juda duto gi ngʼato angʼata modak e Jerusalem madonjo gie rangeyegi.
21 Thus says the Lord: “Guard your souls, and do not choose to carry heavy things on the day of the Sabbath, nor should you carry these things through the gates of Jerusalem.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Bed motangʼ ma kik itingʼ misigo chiengʼ Sabato kata ikele kokalo e rangeye mag Jerusalem.
22 And do not be willing to cast burdens out of your houses on the day of the Sabbath, nor should you do any work. Sanctify the day of the Sabbath, just as I instructed your fathers.
Kik ukel misike koa ei uteu kata timo tich moro chiengʼ Sabato, to rit chiengʼ Sabato maler, mana kaka ne achiko kwereu.
23 But they did not listen, nor did they incline their ear. Instead, they hardened their neck, lest they listen to me and receive discipline.
Kata kamano ne ok gichiko itgi kata winja; tokgi ne tek ta ma ok ginyal winjo wach kata winjo puonj.
24 And this shall be: If you listen to me, says the Lord, so that you do not carry in burdens through the gates of this city on the day of the Sabbath, and if you sanctify the day of the Sabbath, so that you do not do work in it,
To ka inyalo bedo motangʼ kiluora, Jehova Nyasaye owacho, kendo onge misigo mikadhogo dhoranga dala maduongʼni chiengʼ Sabato, to irito chiengʼ Sabato maler ma ok itimo tich moro chiengʼno,
25 then there will enter through the gates of this city: kings and princes, sitting on the throne of David, and riding on chariots and horses, they and their princes, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And this city will be inhabited forever.
eka ruodhi mabet e kom duongʼ Daudi nobi kakalo e rangeye mag dala maduongʼni gi jotendgi. Gin kod jotelo mag-gi ginibi ka giriembo geche kod farese, ka gin kaachiel gi jo-Juda kod jogo modak e Jerusalem, kendo dala maduongʼni enodage nyaka chiengʼ.
26 And they will arrive from the cities of Judah and from all around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plains, and from the mountainous regions, and from the south, carrying holocausts, and victims, and sacrifices, and frankincense. And they will carry an oblation into the house of the Lord.
Ji nobi koa e dala mag Juda kod mier molworo Jerusalem, koae gwengʼ Benjamin gi tiend gode matindo ma yo podho chiengʼ, koa e piny manie gode matindo kod Negev, ka gikelo misango miwangʼo pep kod misengini mamoko, chiwo mag cham, ubani gi chiwo mag goyo erokamano e od Jehova Nyasaye.
27 But if you will not listen to me, to sanctify the day of the Sabbath, and not to carry burdens, and not to bring these things through the gates of Jerusalem on the day of the Sabbath, then I will kindle a fire at its gates, and it will devour the houses of Jerusalem, and it will not be extinguished.”
To ka ok umiya luor mondo urit Sabato maler ma ok utingʼo misigo ka udonjo e rangeye Jerusalem chiengʼ Sabato, to anamok mach ma ok tho e rangeye mag Jerusalem manowangʼ kuondegi mochiel motegno.’”
