Jeremiah 22
1 Thus said the Lord, Goe downe to the house of the King of Iudah, and speake there this thing,
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Dhiyo e kar dak mar ruodh Juda kendo iland wachni kanyo:
2 And say, Heare the worde of the Lord, O King of Iudah, that sittest vpon the throne of Dauid, thou and thy seruants, and thy people that enter in by these gates.
‘Winj wach Jehova Nyasaye, yaye ruodh Juda, un joma bet e kom duongʼ Daudi, in, jotendi kod jogi madonjo gie dhorangeyegi.
3 Thus saith the Lord, Execute ye iudgement and righteousnes, and deliuer the oppressed from the hande of the oppressor, and vexe not the stranger, the fatherlesse, nor the widowe: doe no violence, nor sheade innocent blood in this place.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Tim gima nikare kendo mowinjore. Res ngʼatno e lwet ngʼama thire, ngʼatno mosemaye. Kik itim marach kata tugo lweny gi jadak, kiye kata mon ma chwogi otho, kendo kik ichwer remo maonge gi wach ka eri.
4 For if ye do this thing, then shall the kings sitting vpon the throne of Dauid enter in by the gates of this House, and ride vpon charets, and vpon horses, both he and his seruants and his people.
Nimar ka urito chikegi maber, eka ruodhi mabet e kom duongʼ mar Daudi nondonji gi e dhorangeye mag kar dak ruoth, ka giriembo geche kendo giidho farese, ka gin gi jotendgi kod jogegi.
5 But if ye will not heare these wordes, I sweare by my selfe, saith the Lord, that this House shalbe waste.
To ka ok urito chikegi, Jehova Nyasaye wacho, akwongʼora an owuon ni kar dak ruodhni nolal nono.’”
6 For thus hath the Lord spoken vpon the Kings house of Iudah, Thou art Gilead vnto me, and the head of Lebanon, yet surely I wil make thee a wildernes and as cities not inhabited,
Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho kuom kar dak mar ruodh Juda: “Kata obedo ni in kaka Gilead ne an, kaka wi got Lebanon, adiera analoku kaka kama otwo, ka mier maonge joma odakie.
7 And I will prepare destroyers against thee, euery one with his weapons, and they shall cut downe thy chiefe cedar trees, and cast them in the fire.
Anaor joma tiekou, ngʼato ka ngʼato gi gige lweny, kendo ginitongʼ sirniu mabeyo mag sida mi giwitgi ei mach.
8 And many nations shall passe by this citie, and they shall say euery man to his neighbour, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus vnto this great citie?
“Ji moa e pinje mangʼeny nokal e dala maduongʼni kendo ginipenjre kendgi giwegi ni, ‘Angʼo momiyo Jehova Nyasaye timo gima chalo kama ne dala maduongʼni?’
9 Then shall they answere, Because they haue forsaken the couenant of the Lord their God, and worshipped other gods, and serued them.
To dwoko nobed: ‘Nikech gisejwangʼo singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi kendo giselamo kendo tiyone nyiseche mamoko.’”
10 Weepe not for the dead, and be not moued for them, but weepe for him that goeth out: for he shall returne no more, nor see his natiue countrey.
Kik uywag ruoth motho kata goyo nduru ne lal mare; to onego, uywag malit ne ngʼatno moter e twech, nikech ok enoduogi kata neno piny mane onywole kendo.
11 For thus saith ye Lord, As touching Shallum the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah, which reigned for Iosiah his father, which went out of this place, he shall not returne thither,
Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye osewacho kawuoyo kuom Shalum wuod Josia, mane okawo loch bangʼ wuon-gi kaka ruodh Juda, “Osea ka kendo ok nodwogi.
12 But he shall die in the place, whither they haue ledde him captiue, and shall see this lande no more.
Enotho kama gisetere e twech; ok enone pinyni kendo.”
13 Wo vnto him that buildeth his house by vnrighteousnesse, and his chambers without equitie: he vseth his neighbour without wages, and giueth him not for his worke.
“Mano kaka none malit ngʼatno magero kare mar dak maonge ratiro, utene mamalo e yor mecho koketo jothurgi tiyo maonge chudo.
14 He saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers: so he will make him selfe large windowes, and feeling with cedar, and paint them with vermilion.
Owacho, ‘Anagerne an owuon kar dak mara maduongʼ ka en-gi ute mamalo malach.’ Omiyo oloso dirisni malach kuome, olwore gi fito mar yiend sida, kendo obuke gi range marakwaro.
15 Shalt thou reigne, because thou closest thy selfe in cedar? did not thy father eate and drinke and prosper, when he executed iudgement and iustice?
“Bedo gi yiende mag sida mangʼeny nyalo miyo ibed ruoth? Donge wuonu ne nigi chiemo kod math? Notimo gima ratiro kendo nikare, omiyo duto nobedo maber kode.
16 When he iudged the cause of the afflicted and the poore, he prospered: was not this because he knewe me, saith the Lord?
Ne ochungʼ motegno ne joma odhier kendo ni gidwaro, kendo duto nobedo maber kode. Donge mano e tiend ngʼeya?” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
17 But thine eyes and thine heart are but only for thy couetousnesse, and for to sheade innocent blood, and for oppression, and for destruction, euen to doe this.
“To wengeu kod chunyu ochikore mana e yor yudo ohala gi mecho, e chwero remo maonge gi wach kuom thiro ji kod lweny.”
18 Therefore thus saith the Lord against Iehoiakim, the sonne of Iosiah king of Iudah, They shall not lament him, saying, Ah, my brother, or ah, sister: neither shall they mourne for him, saying, Ah, lord, or ah, his glorie.
Emomiyo ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho kuom Jehoyakim wuod Josia ruodh Juda: “Ok giniywage ni: ‘Yaye, owadwa! Yaye, nyamera!’ Ok giniywage ni: ‘Yaye, jatenda! Yaye, duongʼ mari!’
19 He shalbe buryed, as an asse is buryed, euen drawen and cast foorth without the gates of Ierusalem.
Enoyike ka punda, moywa kendo owit oko mar dhorangeye Jerusalem.”
20 Goe vp to Lebanon, and cry: showte in Bashan and crye by the passages: for all thy louers are destroyed.
“Dhiyo Lebanon kendo iywag matek, mad dwondi winjre Bashan, ywagi ka ia Abarim, nimar joma osiepenigo oseduny matindo tindo.
21 I spake vnto thee when thou wast in prosperitie: but thou saidest, I will not heare: this hath bene thy maner from thy youth, that thou wouldest not obey my voyce.
Ne amiyou siem e kinde mane uparo ni uritoru maber, to ne iwacho ni, ‘Ok anachik ita!’ Ma osebedo yori chakre ibed rawera; ok iseluora.
22 The wind shall feede all thy pastors, and thy louers shall goe into captiuitie: and then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded of al thy wickednesse.
Yamo noriemb jokwadhu duto, kendo joma osiepeni noter e twech. Eka wiyi nokuodi kendo nogengʼni nikech timbegi maricho.
23 Thou that dwellest in Lebanon, and makest thy nest in the cedars, howe beautiful shalt thou be when sorowes come vpon thee, as the sorowe of a woman in trauaile?
Un jogo modak Lebanon, modak e ute bao mag sida moger gi malo, mano kaka unuywag malit ka rem ochopo kuomu, rem machalo gi mar dhako mamuoch kayo!”
24 As I liue, saith the Lord, though Coniah the sonne of Iehoiakim King of Iudah, were the signet of my right hand, yet would I plucke thee thence.
Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “An Jehova Nyasaye mangima akwongʼora ni kata ne bed ni in Jehoyakin wuod Jehoyakim ruodh Juda, ni in e tere manie lweta ma korachwich, to pod dawuodhi oko.
25 And I will giue thee into the hande of them that seeke thy life, and into the hande of them, whose face thou fearest, euen into the hand of Nebuchad-nezzar king of Babel, and into the hande of the Caldeans.
Anachiwi ne jogo madwaro ngimani kendo miluoro. Abiro chiwou ne Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon kod jo-Babulon.
26 And I will cause them to cary thee away, and thy mother that bare thee, into another countrey, where ye were not borne, and there shall ye die.
Anadiri oko kod miyo mane onywoli e piny machielo, kama onge ngʼama nonywole kuomu, kendo kanyo ema uduto unuthoe.
27 But to the lande, whereunto they desire to returne, they shall not returne thither.
Ok unuduogie piny ma ugombo duogoeni.”
28 Is not this man Coniah as a despised and broken idole? or as a vessell, wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they caryed away, hee and his seede, and cast out into a lande that they knowe not?
Bende ngʼatni Jehoyakin en ngʼama ojar, agulu motore, gino maonge ngʼama dwaro? En angʼo momiyo en kod nyithinde nyaka witgi oko e piny ma ok gingʼeyo?
29 O earth, earth, earth, heare the worde of the Lord.
Yaye piny, piny, piny, winj wach Jehova Nyasaye!
30 Thus saith the Lord, Write this man destitute of children, a man that shall not prosper in his dayes: for there shall be no man of his seede that shall prosper and sit vpon the throne of Dauid, or beare rule any more in Iudah.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Kwan ngʼatni ka ngʼama onge nyathi, ngʼatno ma ok nyal dhi nyime maber, e kinde mar ngimane, nimar onge gunde mane dhi maber, onge manobed e kom duongʼ Daudi, kata bed gi loch kendo ei Juda.”
