Jeremiah 23
1 Woe be vnto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheepe of my pasture, saith the Lord.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Mano kaka unune malit un jokwath maketho kendo keyo romba kar kwadhgi!”
2 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel vnto the pastors that feede my people, Yee haue scattered my flock and thrust them out, and haue not visited them: beholde, I will visite you for the wickednesse of your works, saith the Lord.
Emomiyo ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, wachone jokwath makwayo joga: “Nikech usekeyo romba kendo uriembogi kendo ok useritogi, anakumu kuom timbe mamono musetimo,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
3 And I will gather the remnant of my sheepe out of all countreyes, whither I had driuen them, and will bring them againe to their foldes, and they shall growe and encrease.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “An awuon anachok romba modongʼ e pinje duto kuonde maseriembogie anadwog-gi legegi kama gibiro nyaa kendo kwan-gi nomedre.
4 And I will set vp shepheardes ouer them, which shall feede them: and they shall dread no more nor be afraide, neither shall any of them be lacking, saith the Lord.
Anamigi jokwath manoritgi, kendo ok ginibed maluor kata ok ginibwogi, bende onge manolal,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
5 Behold, The dayes come, saith the Lord, that I will raise vnto Dauid a righteous branche, and a King shall reigne, and prosper, and shall execute iudgement, and iustice in the earth.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Kinde biro ma anami Daudi Bad Yath makare, Ruoth manobed gi loch mar rieko kendo tim gima kare kendo ratiro e piny.
6 In his dayes Iudah shalbe saued, and Israel shall dwell safely, and this is the Name wherby they shall call him, The Lord our righteousnesse.
E ndalone Juda noresi kendo Israel nodag gi kwe. Ma e nying ma ibiro luongego: Jehova Nyasaye mamiyo wabedo jo-ratiro.”
7 Therefore behold, the dayes come, sayth the Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liueth, which brought vp the children of Israel out of the lande of Egypt,
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Ndalo biro ma ji ok nowach kendo ni, ‘Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima, manogolo jo-Israel Misri,’
8 But the Lord liueth, which brought vp and led the seede of the house of Israel out of the North countrey and from all countryes where I had scattered them, and they shall dwell in their owne lande.
to giniwachi, ‘Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima, mane ogolo nyithind Israel e piny ma yo nyandwat kendo e pinje duto mane oseriembogie.’ Bangʼe gibiro dak e pinygi giwegi.”
9 Mine heart breaketh within mee, because of the prophets, all my bones shake: I am like a drunken man (and like a man whome wine hath ouercome) for the presence of the Lord and for his holie wordes.
Kuom jonabi: Chunya maiye ool; chokega duto tetni. Achalo ngʼama omer, mana ka ngʼama divai osemero, nikech Jehova Nyasaye kod wechene maler.
10 For the lande is full of adulterers, and because of othes the lande mourneth, the pleasant places of the wildernesse are dried vp, and their course is euill, and their force is not right.
Piny opongʼ gi joma terore; nikech kwongʼ, piny obaro okak kendo kuonde kwath otimo ongoro. Jonabi luwo bangʼ timbe mamono kendo gitiyo gi teko mag-gi e yo ma ok nikare.
11 For both the prophet and the Priest doe wickedly: and their wickednesse haue I found in mine House, saith the Lord.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Jonabi kod jodolo ok oluoro Nyasaye; kata mana ei hekalu mara ayudoe timbegi maricho.”
12 Wherefore their way shalbe vnto them as slipperie wayes in the darknesse: they shalbe driuen foorth and fall therein: for I will bring a plague vpon them, euen the yeere of their visitation, saith the Lord.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Emomiyo yoregi nobed mapoth poth; notergi e mudho kendo kanyo ginipodhie piny. Anakel masira kuomgi e higa mokumgie.
13 And I haue seene foolishnesse in the prophets of Samaria, that prophecied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to erre.
“Kuom jonabi mag Samaria ne aneno gino mawangʼo ich: Ne gikoro e nying Baal kendo ma gimiyo joga Israel obayo yo.
14 I haue seene also in the prophets of Ierusalem filthines: they commit adulterie and walke in lies: they strengthen also the hands of the wicked that none can returne from his wickednesse: they are all vnto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorah.
Kendo e kind jonabi mag Jerusalem aseneno gimoro malich mokadho: Giterore kendo gidak e ngima mar miriambo. Gijiwo joma timbegi mono, mondo omi kik ngʼato olokre owe timbene maricho. Giduto gichalo Sodom ne an; jo-Jerusalem chalo gi Gomora.”
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hostes concerning the prophets, Beholde, I will feede them with wormewood, and make them drinke the water of gall: for from the prophets of Ierusalem is wickednesse gone forth into all the lande.
Emomiyo, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho kuom jonabi: “Anami gicham chiemo makech kendo modh pi motimo sum, nikech koa kuom jonabi mag Jerusalem kia Nyasaye oselandore e piny ngima.”
16 Thus sayth ye Lord of hosts, Heare not the wordes of the prophets that prophecie vnto you, and teach you vanitie: they speake the vision of their owne heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho: “Kik uchik itu ne gigo ma jonabi koronu; gipongʼo itu gi geno mag miriambo. Giwachonu fweny moa e pachgi giwegi, ok moa e dho Jehova Nyasaye.
17 They say still vnto them that despise mee, The Lord hath sayde, Ye shall haue peace: and they say vnto euery one that walketh after the stubbernesse of his owne heart, No euill shall come vpon you.
Gisiko giwachone jogo ma jara ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Unubed gi kwe.’ Kendo ne jogo maluwo timbe achach mag chunjegi wacho ni, ‘Onge gima biro hinyowa.’
18 For who hath stand in the counsel of the Lord that he hath perceiued and heard his word? Who hath marked his worde and heard it?
To en ngʼa kuomgi mosechungoe kar ngʼado bura mar Jehova Nyasaye, mondo one kata owinji wachne?
19 Beholde, the tempest of the Lord goeth forth in his wrath, and a violent whirlewinde shall fall downe vpon the head of the wicked.
Neuru, apaka mar Jehova Nyasaye nomwomre gi mirima, ka kalausi mafuyo e wiye joma timbegi richo.
20 The anger of the Lord shall not returne vntill he haue executed, and till he haue perfourmed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter dayes ye shall vnderstande it plainely.
Mirimb Jehova Nyasaye ok nodog chien nyaka one ni ochopo thoro mar chunye. E ndalo mabiro iniwinj tiende malongʼo.
21 I haue not sent these prophets, sayth the Lord, yet they ranne; I haue not spoken to them, and yet they prophecied.
Ne ok aoro jonabigi, kata kamano giseringo gi wechegi; ne ok awuoyo kodgi, to kata kamano gisekoro wach.
22 But if they had stande in my counsell, and had declared my words to my people, then they should haue turned them from their euill way, and from the wickednesse of their inuentions.
To kane ginyalo chungoe kara mar ngʼado bura, dine gilando wechena ne joga kendo gilokore gia e yoregi mamono, kod timbegi mamono.”
23 Am I a God at hande, saith the Lord, and not a God farre off?
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Ok an Nyasaye mantie machiegni kende, to an Nyasaye man mabor bende.”
24 Can any hide him selfe in secrete places, that I shall not see him, sayth the Lord? Do not I fill heauen and earth, saieth the Lord?
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Bende ngʼato nyalo pondo kuonde mopandore mondo omi kik anene? Donge apongʼo polo gi piny?”
25 I haue heard what the prophets said, that prophecie lies in my Name, saying, I haue dreamed, I haue dreamed.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Asewinjo gima jonabi makoro e nyinga gi miriambo wacho. Giwacho ni, ‘Ne aleko! Ne aleko!’
26 Howe long? Doe the prophets delite to prophecie lies, euen prophecying the deceit of their owne heart?
Nyaka karangʼo ma gigi nosik e chunje jonabi mariambogi, makoro gigo moa e pachgi giwegi?
27 Thinke they to cause my people to forget my Name by their dreames, which they tell euery man to his neyghbour, as their forefathers haue forgotten my Name for Baal?
Giparo ni lek ma ginyisore giwegi nomi ji wigi nowil gi nyinga, mana kaka wuonegi wigi nowil koda kaluwore gilamo mane gilamogo Baal.”
28 The prophet that hath a dreame, let him tell a dreame, and hee that hath my worde, let him speake my worde faithfully: what is the chaffe to the wheate, sayth the Lord?
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “We janabi man-gi lek owach lekne, to we ngʼat man giwachna owache gadiera. Nimar en angʼo ma miudhwe nyalo timo gi cham?”
29 Is not my word euen like a fire, sayeth the Lord? and like an hammer, that breaketh the stone?
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Donge wachna chalo gi mach kendo ka nyundo matoyo kidi matindo tindo?”
30 Therefore beholde, I will come against the prophets, saieth the Lord, that steale my word euerie one from his neighbour.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Emomiyo amon gi jonabi makwalo weche ma giwacho ni oa kuoma e kindgi giwegi.”
31 Beholde, I will come against the prophets, saith the Lord, which haue sweete tongues, and say, He saith.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Ee, ok ahero jonabi ma milo lewgi giwegi kagiwacho ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye owacho.’”
32 Beholde, I will come against them that prophecie false dreames, saith the Lord, and doe tell them, and cause my people to erre by their lies, and by their flatteries, and I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they bring no profite vnto this people, saith the Lord.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Adiera, ok ahero jogo makoro lek mag miriambo. Ginyisogi kendo giwito joga gi miriambo mag-gi maonge korgi gi atachgi, to ne ok aorogi kata yierogi. Ok gimi jogi ohala kata matin,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a Priest shall aske thee, saying, What is the burden of the Lord? thou shalt then say vnto them, What burden? I will euen forsake you, saith the Lord.
“Ka jogi, kata janabi kata jadolo, openji ni, ‘Wach mar Jehova Nyasaye en mane?’ To penjgi ni, ‘Wach mane? Anajwangʼu, Jehova Nyasaye owacho.’
34 And the prophet, or the Priest, or the people that shall say, The burden of the Lord, I will euen visite euerie such one, and his house.
Ka janabi kata jadolo kata ngʼato angʼata owacho ni, ‘Ma en wach mar Jehova Nyasaye,’ to anakum ngʼatno kod joode duto.
35 Thus shall yee say euery one to his neighbour, and euerie one to his brother, What hath the Lord answered? and what hath the Lord spoken?
Ma e gima ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu siko wachone osiepne kata watne: ‘Dwoko Jehova Nyasaye en angʼo?’ kata, ‘En angʼo ma Jehova Nyasaye wacho?’
36 And the burden of the Lord shall yee mention no more: for euery mans worde shall bee his burden: for ye haue peruerted the words of the liuing God, the Lord of hostes our God.
To kik ichak iwach kendo ni, ‘wach mar Jehova Nyasaye,’ nikech wach ngʼato ka ngʼato owuon ema bedone wach maber bangʼe ijaro weche Nyasaye mangima, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ma Nyasachwa.
37 Thus shalt thou say to the Prophet, What hath the Lord answered thee? and what hath the Lord spoken?
Ma e gima usebedo ka unyiso janabi: ‘Jehova Nyasaye miyi dwoko mane?’ kata, ‘Jehova Nyasaye osewacho angʼo?’
38 And if you say, The burden of the Lord, Then thus saith the Lord, Because yee say this word, The burden of the Lord, and I haue sent vnto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the Lord,
Kata obedo ni iwacho ni, ‘Ma e wach mar Jehova Nyasaye,’ to ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Ne itiyo gi weche ka iwacho ni, ‘Ma e wach mar Jehova Nyasaye,’ kata obedoni ne awachonu ni kik uwach ni, ‘Ma e wach mar Jehova Nyasaye.’
39 Therefore beholde, I, euen I will vtterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the citie that I gaue you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence,
Emomiyo, adiera wiya nowil kodu kendo ma agolu oko e nyim wangʼa kaachiel gi dala maduongʼ mane amiyou kod wuoneu.
40 And will bring an euerlasting reproche vpon you, and a perpetual shame which shall neuer be forgotten.
Anakelnu wichkuot manyaka chiengʼ ma en wichkuot ma wich ok nowilgo.”
