< Jeremiah 36 >

1 This message from the Lord came to Jeremiah in the fourth year of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
E higa mar angʼwen mar Jehoyakim wuod Josia ruodh Juda, wachni nobiro ne Jeremia koa ir Jehova Nyasaye:
2 Get a scroll and write down everything I've told you condemning Israel, Judah, and all the other nations, from the time I first spoke to you during the reign of Josiah right up till now.
“Kaw kitabu kendo indikie weche duto ma asewacho kuom Israel gi Juda kod ogendini mamoko duto kochakore kinde mane achako wuoyo kodi e ndalo loch Josia nyaka sani.
3 Maybe when the people of Judah hear about all the disasters I plan to bring down on them, everyone will stop their evil ways. Then I will forgive their guilt and sin.
Sa moro ka jo-Juda owinjo kuom masichegi ma achano mar kelo kuomgi, to giduto ginilokre giwe yoregi mamono; eka anawenegi timbegi mamono kod richo mag-gi.”
4 So Jeremiah called Baruch son of Neriah to come, and while Jeremiah dictated, Baruch wrote down on a scroll everything that the Lord had told Jeremiah.
Omiyo Jeremia noluongo Baruk wuod Neria, kendo Jeremia ne wachone to ondiko weche duto mane Jehova Nyasaye osewachone, Baruk nondikogi e kitabu.
5 Then Jeremiah gave Baruch these instructions: “I'm a prisoner here so I can't go into the Lord's Temple.
Eka Jeremia nokone Baruk niya, “An otama; ok anyal dhi e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
6 So you have to go to the Lord's Temple on a day when people are fasting, and read to them the Lord's messages from the scroll I dictated to you. Read them to all the people of Judah who come in from their towns.
Omiyo in dhi e od Jehova Nyasaye chiengʼ lamo gi tweyo chiemo kendo isomne ji koa e kitabuni weche Jehova Nyasaye mane indiko sa mane awachoni to indiko. Somnegi ne jo-Juda duto ma biro koa e miechgi.
7 Maybe they will come and ask the Lord for forgiveness, and all of them will stop their evil ways, for the Lord is threatening terrible anger against them.”
Sa moro ginikel kwayogi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kendo giduto gilokre giwe yoregi mamono, nimar ich wangʼ gi mirima mikelone jogi gi Jehova Nyasaye duongʼ.”
8 Baruch son of Neriah did exactly what Jeremiah the prophet had told him to do. He went and read the Lord's message from the scroll in the Temple.
Baruk wuod Neria notimo gik moko duto mane Jeremia janabi onyise mondo otim; e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye nosomo weche Jehova Nyasaye koa e kitabu.
9 This is how it happened. A fast to honor the Lord was declared involving all the people of Jerusalem and everyone who had come there from the towns of Judah. This was in the ninth month of the fifth year of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah.
E dwe mar ochiko e higa mar abich mar loch Jehoyakim wuod Josia ruodh Juda, kinde mar tweyo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye nolandne ji duto manie Jerusalem kod jogo mane obiro koa e dala mag Juda.
10 Baruch read from the scroll what Jeremiah had dictated so that everyone could hear. He read it from the room of Gemariah son of Shaphan the scribe. This was in the upper Temple courtyard at the New Gate entrance.
Kochakore e agola mar Gemaria wuod Shafan ma jagoro, mane nitiere e laru man malo e kar donjo mar Dhorangach Manyien mar hekalu, Baruk nosomone ji duto e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye weche Jeremia koa e kitabu.
11 When Micaiah son of Gemariah, son of Shaphan, heard all the Lord's messages read from the scroll,
Ka Mikaya wuod Gemaria, ma wuod Shafan, nowinjo weche duto mag Jehova Nyasaye moa e kitabu,
12 he went down to the royal secretary's room in the king's palace, where all the officials had gathered. Elishama the secretary, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other officials were there.
nodhi e agola mar jagoro mane ni e kar dak ruoth, kama ne jotelo nobetie: Elishama ma jagoro, Delaya wuod Shemaya, Elnathan wuod Akbor, Gemaria wuod Shafan, Zedekia wuod Hanania, kod jotelo mamoko duto.
13 Micaiah gave them a report of everything he'd heard Baruch read from the scroll to the people.
Bangʼ ka Mikaya ne osenyisogi gik moko duto mane osewinjo ka Baruk somo ne ji koa e kitabu,
14 The officials sent Jehudi son of Nethaniah, son of Shelemiah, son of Cushi, to summon Baruch, telling him, “Bring the scroll that you read to the people, and come here.” So Baruch went to see them taking the scroll with him.
jotelogi duto nooro Jehudi wuod Nethania, ma wuod Shelemia, wuod Kushi, mondo owach ne Baruk niya, “Kel kitabu ma isesomone ji kendo ibi.” Omiyo Baruk wuod Neria nodhi irgi gi kitabuno e lwete.
15 “Please sit down and read it to us,” they said. So Baruch read it to them.
Negiwachone, “Bed piny, kiyie, kendo isomnwago.” Omiyo Baruk nosomonegi.
16 After they'd heard everything, they were frightened and looked at each other. They said to Baruch, “We've got to tell the king about all this.”
Kane gi winjo wechegi duto, ne gingʼiyore giwegi ka giluor kendo giwachone Baruk niya, “Nyaka wanyis wechegi duto ne ruoth.”
17 Then they asked Baruch, “Now tell us, how did you come to write all this? Did Jeremiah dictate it to you?”
Eka negipenjo Baruk niya, “Nyiswane, ere kaka ne indiko gigi duto? Jeremia ema nosomoni eka indikogi koso?”
18 “Yes, he dictated it,” Baruch replied. “I wrote down in ink on the scroll everything he told me.”
Baruk nodwoko niya, “En kamano, nowachona wechegi duto to nandikogi, kendo ne andiko gi wino e kitabu.”
19 The officials told Baruch, “You and Jeremiah are going to have to hide. Don't tell anyone where you are.”
Eka jotelogo nonyiso Baruk, “In kaachiel gi Jeremia, dhiuru kendo upondi. Kik uwe ngʼato ngʼe kuma untie.”
20 Then the officials went to see the king in the courtyard. They had kept the scroll safe in Elishama the secretary's room while they gave a full report to the king.
Bangʼ kane giseketo kitabu ei od Elishama jagoro, negidhi ir ruoth e laru kendo giwachone gimoro amora.
21 The king sent Jehudi to fetch the scroll. He went and got it from Elishama the secretary's room. Then Jehudi read it to the king and all the officials who were there standing next to him.
Ruoth nooro Jehudi mondo okel kitabuno, kendo Jehudi nokele koa kode ei od Elishama jagoro kendo nosomene ruoth kod jotelo duto kochungʼ e bathe.
22 It was the ninth month and the king was sitting in front of a fire in his winter quarters.
Ne en dwe mar ochiko kendo ruoth nobet ei ot mar oyo mach e kinde mar chwiri.
23 Whenever Jehudi finished reading three or four columns, Jehoiakim would chop them off with a scribe's knife and toss them into the fire. Eventually the whole scroll was completely burned up.
Ka Jehudi nosesomo laini adek kata angʼwen mar kitabuno, ruoth nongʼadogi gi pala mabith kendo owitogi e kar hoyo mach, nyaka kitabuno duto nowangʼ e mach.
24 Despite hearing all these messages, the king and his attendants weren't frightened and didn't tear their clothes in remorse.
Ruoth gi jogo duto mane en godo mane owinjo wechegi ne ok obedo gi luoro moro, kata lepgi ne ok giyiecho.
25 Even when Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah pleaded with the king not to burn the scroll, he refused to listen to them.
Kata obedo ni Elnathan, Delaya kod Gemaria nokwero ruoth mondo kik wangʼ kitabuno, to ne ok onyal winjogi.
26 In fact the king ordered Jerahmeel, one of the princes, as well as Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to go and arrest Baruch and Jeremiah. But the Lord hid them.
Makmana, ruoth nomiyo Jeramel, ma wuod ruoth, Seraya wuod Azriel gi Shelemia wuod Abdil chik, mondo omak Baruk jandiko kod Jeremia janabi. To Jehova Nyasaye nosepandogi.
27 After the king burned the scroll Jeremiah had dictated to Baruch, a message from the Lord came to Jeremiah:
Bangʼ ka ruoth nosewangʼo kitabu mane otingʼo gik mane Baruk ondiko ka Jeremia somone, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Jeremia:
28 Get another scroll and write everything out that was on the first scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah burned.
“Kaw kitabu machielo kendo indikie weche duto mane ni e kitabu mokwongo-cha, mane Jehoyakim ruodh Juda owangʼo.
29 Regarding Jehoiakim king of Judah announce that this is what the Lord says: You have burned the scroll and asked, “Why did you write that the king of Babylon is going to come and destroy this country and kill all its people and animals?”
Bende nyis Jehoyakim ruodh Juda ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Ne iwangʼo kitabucha kendo iwacho niya, “Angʼo momiyo ne indiko kuome ni ruodh Babulon enobi kendo keth pinyni kendo ogol ji kaachiel gi le kuome?”
30 So this is what the Lord says about Jehoiakim king of Judah: He won't have anyone to succeed him as king, sitting on David's throne. His body will be thrown out to lie in the heat of the day and the cold of the night.
Emomiyo, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho kuom Jehoyakim ruodh Juda: Ok nobed gi ngʼama bedo e kom duongʼ Daudi; ringre nowit oko kendo nomo oko ne liet mar odiechiengʼ kendo ne thoo mar otieno.
31 I'm going to punish him and his descendants and officials for their sins. I will bring down on them and on the people living in Jerusalem and Judah, all the disasters I warned them about but they refused to listen.
Anakume gi nyithinde kod jogo marite nikech timbegi maricho; anakel kuomgi kod jogo modak Jerusalem gi jo-Juda kit masira moro amora mane asechanonegi, nikech gitamore winja.’”
32 Jeremiah got another scroll and gave it to Baruch. Jeremiah dictated everything that was in the scroll that Jehoiakim had burned in the fire and Barcuh wrote it down. Even more messages of a similar kind were added.
Omiyo Jeremia nokawo kitabu machielo kendo omiye Baruk wuod Neria jandik muma, kendo kaka Jeremia ne ohulo, Baruk nondiko e kitabuno weche duto mar kitabu mane Jehoyakim ruodh Juda nosewangʼo e mach kendo weche mangʼeny machalre nomed kuomgi.
