Jeremiah 4
1 O Israel, if thou returne, returne vnto me, saith the Lord: and if thou put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remoue.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Ka ibiro duogo, yaye Israel, to duog ira. Ka igolo nyisechegi mopa mamonogo e nyima ma ok ubaro,
2 And thou shalt sweare, The Lord liueth in trueth, in iudgement, and in righteousnesse, and the nations shall be blessed in him, and shall glorie in him.
kendo kikwongʼori gi adiera gi bura makare kendo gi tim malongʼo ni, ‘Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima,’ eka abiro gwedho ogendini duto manie piny kendo ogendini duto biro miya duongʼ.”
3 For thus saith the Lord to the men of Iudah, and to Ierusalem,
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wachone jo-Juda kod Jerusalem: “Pururu puotheu mag mbora kendo kik ukom e kind kuthe.
4 Breake vp your fallowe ground, and sowe not among the thornes: be circumcised to the Lord, and take away the foreskinnes of your hearts, ye men of Iudah, and inhabitants of Ierusalem, lest my wrath come foorth like fire, and burne, that none can quenche it, because of the wickednesse of your inuentions.
Terreuru nyangu uwegi ni Jehova Nyasaye, teruru chunjeu nyangu, un jo-Juda kod jo-Jerusalem, ka ok kamano to mirimba biro muoch mi liel ka mach, nikech tim mamono ma usetimo manowangʼu, maonge ngʼama nyalo kweye.”
5 Declare in Iudah, and shewe forth in Ierusalem, and say, Blowe the trumpet in the lande: cry, and gather together, and say, Assemble your selues, and let vs goe into strong cities.
“Land e Juda kendo ior wach e Jerusalem kiwacho ni: ‘Gouru turumbete e piny duto!’ Ywag matek kendo iwachi: ‘Chokreuru kaachiel! Waringuru wadhi e mier madongo mochiel motegno!’
6 Set vp the standart in Zion: prepare to flee, and stay not: for I will bring a plague from the North, and a great destruction.
Oruru wach odhi Sayun! Ringuru udhi kar pondo ma ok odeko! Nimar akelo masira koa yo nyandwat, kata kethruok malich.”
7 The lyon is come vp from his denne, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is departed, and gone forth of his place to lay thy land waste, and thy cities shalbe destroyed without an inhabitant.
Sibuor osewuok e kare mar pondo; jatiek ogendini osewuok oko. Oseweyo kare mondo otiek pinyu. Miechu nomuki madongʼ gunda, maonge ngʼama nodagie.
8 Wherefore girde you with sackecloth: lament, and howle, for the fierce wrath of the Lord is not turned backe from vs.
Omiyo rwakuru lepu mag ywak, ywaguru kendo denguru, nimar mirimb Jehova Nyasaye mager pod ok oweyowa.
9 And in that day, saith the Lord, the heart of the King shall perish, and the heart of the princes and the Priestes shall be astonished, and the Prophets shall wonder.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Chiengʼno ruoth kod jotelo chunygi biro aa, jodolo nobed gi luoro maduongʼ, kendo jonabi nobed gi bwok maduongʼ.”
10 Then saide I, Ah, Lord God, surely thou hast deceiued this people and Ierusalem, saying, Ye shall haue peace, and the sworde perceth vnto the heart.
Eka ne awacho, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, mano kaka isewuondo jogi kod Jerusalem ka iwacho ni, ‘Unubed gi kwe,’ mana sa ma ligangla ni e dwondwa.”
11 At that time shall it bee saide to this people and to Ierusalem, A dry winde in the hie places of the wildernes commeth towarde ye daughter of my people, but neither to fanne nor to clense.
E kindego jogi kod Jerusalem nonyisi niya, “Yamo maliet moa kama gimoro ok nyagie mana kama otwo futo kadhi ir joga, to ok mondo okwadhgi kata pwodhogi;
12 A mightie winde shall come vnto me from those places, and nowe will I also giue sentence vpon them.
to yamo motegno moloyo mano aa kuoma. Koro asengʼadonegi bura.”
13 Beholde, he shall come vp as the cloudes, and his charets shalbe as a tempest: his horses are lighter then eagles. Woe vnto vs, for wee are destroyed.
Ne! Obiro ka boche polo, gechene mag lweny biro ka kalausi, farese mage ringo matek moloyo ongo. Kagiwacho niya, mano kaka wan gi lit!
14 O Ierusalem, wash thine heart from wickednes, that thou maiest be saued: how long shall thy wicked thoughtes remaine within thee?
Yaye Jerusalem, luok timbe mamono manie chunyu mondo iresri. Nyaka karangʼo mi ibiro kano timbe richo e pachi?
15 For a voyce declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.
Koko wuok koa Dan, ka goyo milome mar masira koa e gode matindo mag Efraim.
16 Make ye mention of the heathen, and publish in Ierusalem, Beholde, the skoutes come from a farre countrey, and crie out against the cities of Iudah.
“Nyis ogendini kendo go milome ne Jerusalem niya, ‘Jolweny mager biro iru kawuok e piny mabor, ka gigoyo koko mar agengʼa mar lweny kuom mier madongo mag Juda.
17 They haue compassed her about as the watchmen of the fielde, because it hath prouoked me to wrath, saith the Lord.
Gilwore mana ka joma rito puodho, nikech osengʼanyona,’” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.
18 Thy wayes and thine inuentions haue procured thee these things, such is thy wickednesse: therefore it shall be bitter, therefore it shall perce vnto thine heart.
“Kiti kod timbegi iwuon osemiyo ma obiro kuomi. Ma en kum mari. Mano kaka olit! Mano kaka opowo nyaka e chuny!”
19 My bely, my bely, I am pained, euen at the very heart: mine heart is troubled within me: I cannot be still: for my soule hath heard the sounde of the trumpet, and the alarme of the battell.
Yaye, iya nyawni, iya nyawni! An gi rem malit. Yaye, lit mager mar chunya! Chunya ridore, ok nyal lingʼ thi. Nimar asewinjo koko mar turumbete; asewinjo ywak mar kedo.
20 Destruction vpon destruction is cryed, for the whole lande is wasted: suddenly are my tents destroyed, and my curtaines in a moment.
Masira bangʼ masira; piny duto okethi. Ka diemo wangʼ nono hembena omuki, kara mar dak ka mil polo.
21 Howe long shall I see the standert, and heare the sounde of the trumpet?
Nyaka karangʼo mabiro nenoe kedo machalo kama, kendo winjo dwond turumbete?
22 For my people is foolish, they haue not knowen me: they are foolish children, and haue none vnderstanding: they are wise to doe euill, but to doe well they haue no knowledge.
“Joga ofuwo; ok gingʼeya. Gin nyithindo maonge wigi gionge rieko, gilony mana kuom timo timbe maricho; kendo ok gingʼeyo; kaka digitim maber.”
23 I haue looked vpon the earth, and loe, it was without forme and voide: and to the heauens, and they had no light.
Ne angʼiyo piny, ne en nono kendo noonge gi kido; kendo bende ne angʼiyo e polo, to ler ne onge.
24 I behelde the mountaines: and loe, they trembled and all the hilles shooke.
Ne angʼiyo gode madongo kendo negiyiengni, to gode matindo duto ne rundore koni gi koni.
25 I behelde, and loe, there was no man, and all the birdes of the heauen were departed.
Ne angʼicho to ne onge ji, winy duto manie kor polo nosefuyo molal.
26 I behelde, and loe, the fruitfull place was a wildernesse, and all the cities thereof were broken downe at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce wrath.
Ne angʼicho to piny mane miyo nolokore kama otwo; dalane duto nokethi e nyim mirimb Jehova Nyasaye mager.
27 For thus hath the Lord saide, The whole lande shall be desolate: yet will I not make a full ende.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Piny mangima ibiro kethi, kata kamano ok nakethe chutho.
28 Therefore shall the earth mourne, and the heauens aboue shall be darkened, because I haue pronounced it: I haue thought it, and will not repent, neither will I turne backe from it.
Omiyo piny biro dengo kendo polo malo notim mudho, nikech asewuoyo kendo ok analok pacha, asengʼado wach chuth kendo ok anadog chien.”
29 The whole citie shall flee, for the noyse of the horsemen and bowemen: they shall goe into thickets, and clime vp vpon the rockes: euery citie shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
Ka dwol mar joidh farese kod jo-asere owinji, to dala ka dala golo aputh njiri. Moko dhi e bunge modinore; moko idho dhi ewi lwendni. Mier duto ji odarie; onge ngʼama odak eigi.
30 And when thou shalt be destroyed, what wilt thou doe? Though thou clothest thy selfe with skarlet, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of golde, though thou paintest thy face with colours, yet shalt thou trimme thy selfe in vaine: for thy louers will abhorre thee and seeke thy life.
En angʼo mitimo, yaye ngʼama osetiekni? Angʼo momiyo irwakori gi law marakwaro kendo idusori gi gige dhahabu? Angʼo momiyo ibuko wangʼi gi rangi. Idusori kayiem nono. Johera magi jari; gidwaro mana ngimani.
31 For I haue heard a noyse as of a woman trauailing, or as one labouring of her first child, euen the voyce of the daughter Zion that sigheth and stretcheth out her handes: woe is me nowe: for my soule fainteth because of the murtherers.
Awinjo ywak kaka mar dhako mamuoch kayo, lit mana ka dhako ma nywolo nyathine makayo, ywak mar Nyar Sayun ka gamo yweyo, kotengʼo bedene kendo owacho, “To mano kaka apodho; ngimana omi jonek.”
