Jeremiah 18
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:
Ma e wach mane obirone Jeremia koa ir Jehova Nyasaye:
2 “Rise up and descend into the house of the potter, and there you will hear my words.”
“Dhiyo e od Jachwe agulni, kendo kanyo anamiyie otena.”
3 And I descended into the house of the potter, and behold, he was making a work on the wheel.
Omiyo ne adhi e od jachwe agulni, kendo ne ayude kar chwecho.
4 And the vessel, which he was making with his hands out of clay, broke. And turning away, he made another vessel, for it had been pleasing in his eyes to make it.
To agulu mane ichweyo gi lowo nokethore e lwete; omiyo jachwechno nochweye agulu machielo, kochweye maber kaka ne odwaro.
5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Bangʼe wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona:
6 “Am I not able to do with you, O house of Israel, just as this potter has done, says the Lord? Behold, like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.
Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “Yaye od Israel, donge anyalo timonu kaka jachwe agulni timo? Kaka lowo manie lwet jachwe agulni, e kaka un bende e lweta, yaye od Israel.
7 Suddenly, I will speak against a nation and against a kingdom, so that I may uproot, and destroy, and scatter it.
Kapo ni sa moro amora alando ni piny kata pinyruodhi opudh oko, kata kethgi matiekgi,
8 If that nation, against which I have spoken, will repent from their evil, I too will repent from the evil that I have decided I would do to them.
kendo ka ogandano mane asiemo olokore oweyo timbegi maricho, eka analok pacha mi ok anakelnegi masira mane asechano.
9 And soon, I will speak about a nation and about a kingdom, so that I may build and plant it.
Kendo ka kinde machielo alando ni piny kata pinyruoth onego ger kendo gur motegno,
10 If it does evil in my sight, so as not to listen to my voice, I will repent of the good that I have said I would do to it.
to kotimo tim marach e nyima kendo ok oluora, to anapar kendo kuom ber mane asechano mar timone.
11 Now, therefore, speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying: Thus says the Lord: Behold, I am forming an evil against you, and I am considering a plan against you. Let each one of you return from his evil way, and direct your ways and your intentions well.”
“Emomiyo koro wachne jo-Juda kod jogo modak Jerusalem, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Neuru! Aiko masira nikech un kendo achano chenro marach nikech un. Omiyo weuru yoreu maricho, ngʼato ka ngʼato, kendo ulok yoreu gi timbeu.’
12 And they said: “We have lost hope. And so we will follow our own thoughts, and each of us will act according to the depravity of his own evil heart.”
To gini dwoke ni, ‘Onge tiende. Wanadhi nyime gi chenro magwa wawegi; ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomwa noluw mana timbe mamono mar chunye marach.’”
13 For this reason, thus says the Lord: “Inquire among the Gentiles. Who has heard of such horrible things as the virgin of Israel has done to excess?
Emomiyo ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Penjieuru ogendini: En ngʼa mosewinjo gima chalo kama? Gima lich mokadho osetim gi Nyako Ngili ma en Israel.
14 Do the snows of Lebanon fail to fall on the rocks of the field? Or are the cold waters, which burst forth and flow down, able to be rooted out?
Bende pe mag Lebanon rumo ngangʼ koa kuondege maridore motimo lwendni? Bende pige mangʼich mokwe mamol, koa kuonde maboyo dwono?
15 Yet my people have forgotten me, offering useless libations, and stumbling in their ways, in the paths of the world, so that they walk by these on an unmarked route.
To joga wigi osewil koda, giwangʼo ubani ne nyiseche mopa manono, manomiyo gichwanyore e yoregi kendo e yore matindo machon. Giseketogi gi wuotho e yore matindo mogondore, kendo e yore ma ok opa.
16 And so their land has been given over to desolation and to perpetual hissing. Each one who passes by will be astonished and will shake his head.
Pinygi nodongʼ gunda, mi enobedi gima inyiero manyaka chiengʼ; jogo duto makalo bute nobwogi kendo gini kin wigi.
17 Like a burning wind, I will disperse them in the sight the enemy. I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their perdition.”
Kaka yamo ma aa yo wuok chiengʼ, anakegi e nyim wasikgi; ananyisgi ngʼeya to ok wangʼa e kinde mar masichegi.”
18 And they said: “Come, and let us devise a plan against Jeremiah. For the law will not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor a sermon from the prophet. Come, and let us strike him with the tongue, and let us pay no attention to any of his words.”
Negiwacho, “Biuru, wangʼad rieko mar hinyo Jeremia; nimar puonj mar chik mikelo gi jadolo ok nolal, kata ngʼado rieko moa kuom joma riek, kata weche moa ir jonabi. Omiyo biuru, wahangne wach kendo kik wachik itwa ne gimoro amora mowacho.”
19 Attend to me, O Lord, and hear the voice of my adversaries.
Winja, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; winj gima joma donjona wacho!
20 Should evil be rendered for good? For they have dug a pit for my soul! Remember that I have stood in your sight, so as to speak on their behalf for good, and to avert your indignation from them.
Bende ber inyalo chul gi tim marach? To kata kamano gisekunyona bugo. Par nine achungʼ e nyimi kendo awuoyo ka akwayonegi, mondo kik iol mirimbi kuomgi.
21 Because of this, give their sons over to famine, and bring them to the hand of the sword. Let their wives be widows without children. And let their husbands be slain by death. Let their youths be stabbed with the sword in battle.
Omiyo we nyithindgi kech oka; bolgi e teko mar ligangla. We mondegi obed maonge nyithindo kendo mon ma chwogi otho; mad chwogi negi, rowere mag-gi negi gi ligangla e kedo.
22 Let an outcry be heard from their houses. For you will lead the robber upon them suddenly. For they have dug a pit, so that they may seize me, and they have hidden snares for my feet.
Mad ywak winji koa e utegi ka ikelo joma dwaro monjogi apoya nono, nimar gisekunyona bugo mondo gimaka kendo giseketo obadho mondo gimak godo tienda.
23 But you, O Lord, know all their plans against me unto death. May you not forgive their iniquity, and do not allow their sin be taken away from your face. Let them be thrown down in your sight, in the time of your fury, so that you may destroy them.
To in ingʼeyo, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, chenrogi duto mar nega. Kik ingʼwon-negi kuom timbegi mag jendeke, kata rucho richo mag-gi e nyim wangʼi. Mad logi e nyimi; kendo kumgi e kinde mag mirimbi.
