Jeremiah 31

1 At that time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be My people.

Jehova Nyasaye nowacho e kindeno niya, “Anabed Nyasach dhout Israel duto, kendo ginibed joga.”

2 Thus saith the LORD: The people that were left of the sword have found grace in the wilderness, even Israel, when I go to cause him to rest.

Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Jogo motony e ligangla noyud ngʼwono e piny motimo ongoro; anabi mondo ami Israel yweyo.”

3 'From afar the LORD appeared unto me.' 'Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love; therefore with affection have I drawn thee.

Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyorenwa chon, kawacho niya: “Aseherou gihera manyaka chiengʼ; aseomou gihera mar ngʼwono.

4 Again will I build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel; again shalt thou be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.

Anageru kendo to bende enogeru, yaye Israel ma nyako ngili. Bende unugo nyiduongeu kendo, mi udhi oko ma umiel gi ilo.

5 Again shalt thou plant vineyards upon the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant, and shall have the use thereof.

Bende unupidh mzabibu e gode matindo mag Samaria; jopur nopidhgi, kendo ginibed mamor gi olembegi.

6 For there shall be a day, that the watchmen shall call upon the mount Ephraim: arise ye, and let us go up to Zion, unto the LORD our God.'

Odiechiengʼ moro nobedie ma jorit noywagi e gode matindo mag Efraim niya, ‘Biuru wadhi Sayun, ir Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa.’”

7 For thus saith the LORD: Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout at the head of the nations; announce ye, praise ye, and say: 'O LORD, save Thy people, The remnant of Israel.'

Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Wer gi ilo ne Jakobo; kog matek ne jotelo madongo mag ogendini. Onego pak magu owinjre, kendo uwachi niya, ‘Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, res jogi, jo-Israel mane otony.’

8 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together; a great company shall they return hither.

Ne, anakelgi ka gia e piny man yo nyandwat, kendo achokgi ka gia e tungʼ piny ka tungʼ piny duto. Dhano ma galamoro nodwogi motingʼo muofni kod rongʼonde, mine ma yach kod mamuoch kayo.

9 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them; I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way wherein they shall not stumble; for I am become a father to Israel, and Ephraim is My first-born.

Giniduogi ka giywak; gini lem sa ma aduogogi. Anatelnegi e bath aore man-gi pi, e kuonde mopie ma ok ginichwanyre, nikech an wuon Israel, kendo Efraim e wuoda makayo.

10 Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say: 'He that scattered Israel doth gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.'

“Winjuru wach Jehova Nyasaye, yaye ogendini, kendo landeuru e kuonde maboyo manie dho nembe: ‘Ngʼama nokeyo jo-Israel nochokgi, kendo enorit rombe kaka jakwath.’

11 For the LORD hath ransomed Jacob, and He redeemeth him from the hand of him that is stronger than he.

Nimar Jehova Nyasaye nokony Jakobo e lwet wasike, kendo enoresgi e lwet jogo matek moloyogi.

12 And they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow unto the goodness of the LORD, to the corn, and to the wine, and to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd; and their soul shall be as a watered garden, and they shall not pine any more at all.

Ginibi kendo ginikogi gi ilo e kuonde motingʼore gi malo mag Sayun; ginibed gi ilo kuom chiwo mabup mar Jehova Nyasaye, ma gin cham, divai manyien kod mo, nyithi rombe kod dhok. Ginichal gi puodho moole pi maber, kendo ok ginibed gi kuyo kendo.

13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old together; for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.

Eka jotich ma nyiri nomiel kendo bed mamor, yawuowi matindo kod joma oti machalre. Analok ywakgi obed mor; anahogi kendo anamigi ilo kar kuyo.

14 And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, saith the LORD.

Anami jodolo gik mathoth mongundho, kendo joga nopongʼ, gi chiwo mara mabup,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.

15 Thus saith the LORD: A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children; she refuseth to be comforted for her children, because they are not.

Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Dwol winjore Rama, ka goyo nduru, kendo ywak malich, Rael ywago nyithinde kendo odagi ni ok nyal hoye, nikech gisetho.”

16 Thus saith the LORD: Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears; for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come back from the land of the enemy.

Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Lingʼ iwe ywak kendo ywe pi wangʼi, nimar nochuli kuom tichni. Giniduogi ka gia e piny wasigu.” Jehova Nyasaye wacho.

17 And there is hope for thy future, saith the LORD; and thy children shall return to their own border.

Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Omiyo nitiere geno kuom ndaloni mabiro. Nyithindu nodwogi e pinygi giwegi.

18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself: 'Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a calf untrained; turn thou me, and I shall be turned, for Thou art the LORD my God.

“Adiera asewinjo ywak Efraim: Ne imiya kum ka nyaroya ma lelo, kendo osekuma. Duoga, kendo anaduogi, nikech in Jehova Nyasaye Nyasacha.

19 Surely after that I was turned, I repented, and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh; I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.'

Bangʼ kane asebaro, ne akwayo weruok; bangʼ kane wach osedonjona, ne agoyo agoga. Wiya nokuot kendo ne awinjo lit, nikech ne atingʼo wichkuot mar bedona rawera.

20 Is Ephraim a darling son unto Me? Is he a child that is dandled? For as often as I speak of him, I do earnestly remember him still; Therefore My heart yearneth for him, I will surely have compassion upon him, saith the LORD.

Donge Efraim en wuoda makende, nyathi ma amor godo? Kata obedo ni awuoyoga kuome marach, to pod apare. Emomiyo chunya ywage,” an-gi kech kuome, Jehova Nyasaye owacho.

21 Set thee up waymarks, make thee guide-posts; set thy heart toward the high-way, even the way by which thou wentest; Return, O virgin of Israel, return to these thy cities.

“Keturu ranyisi mag yore; keturu gik matayo ji. Paruru yore moriere, yorno miluwo. Duogi, yaye Israel ma nyako ngili, duogi e dalau.

22 How long wilt thou turn away coyly, O thou backsliding daughter? For the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth: a woman shall court a man.

Nyaka karangʼo ma ibiro bayo, yaye nyako maonge adiera? Jehova Nyasaye enochwe gima nyien e piny, dhako nokwak dichwo.”

23 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Yet again shall they use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall turn their captivity: 'The LORD bless thee, O habitation of righteousness, O mountain of holiness.'

Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: “Kagologi gia e twech, joma ni e piny Juda kod dalagi noti gi wechegi kendo ni: ‘Jehova Nyasaye ogwedhu, yaye kar dak maler, yaye got mowal.’

24 And Judah and all the cities thereof shall dwell therein together: the husbandmen, and they that go forth with flocks.

Ji nodag kaachiel e kanyakla ei Juda kod miechgi duto, jopur kod jogo mawuotho ka gi kacha gi jambgi.

25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and every pining soul have I replenished.

Anami joma ool teko kendo joma chunygi onyosore anajiw.”

26 Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me.

Kuom mani ne achiewo kendo ne angʼiyo alworana. To nindo mara nobedona mamit.

27 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.

Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Ndalo biro ma anapidhe od Israel kod od Juda gi koth ji kod mar le.

28 And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them to pluck up and to break down, and to overthrow and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them to build and to plant, saith the LORD.

Mana kaka ne angʼiyogi mondo apudhgi kendo kethogi, mondo awitgi oko ka atiekogi kendo kelonegi chandruok, anaritgi mondo agergi kendo pidhogi,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.

29 In those days they shall say no more: 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge.'

“E ndalono ji ok nochak owach kendo niya, “‘Wuone osechamo olembe ma wach-wach, to leke nyithindo ema tho.’

30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity; every man that eateth the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.

Makmana, ngʼato ka ngʼato notho nikech richone owuon; ngʼato angʼata mochano olemo ma wach-wach, lake owuon ema notho.”

31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah;

Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Kinde biro ma anatim singruok manyien gi dhood jo-Israel kod dhood jo-Juda.

32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; forasmuch as they broke My covenant, although I was a lord over them, saith the LORD.

Singruokno ok nochal gi mano mane atimo gi kweregi, kane amako lwetgi mi atelonegi kagologi e piny Misri, nikech negiketho singruokna, kata obedo nine an chworgi,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.

33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the LORD, I will put My law in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people;

“Ma e singruok ma anatim gi dhood jo-Israel bangʼ ndalogo,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho. “Abiro keto chikena e pachgi kendo ndikogi e chunygi. Anabed Nyasachgi kendo ginibed joga.

34 and they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying: 'Know the LORD'; for they shall all know Me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD; for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more.

Koro ngʼato ok nochak opuonj jabathe, kata nyawadgi kowacho ni, ‘Ngʼe Jehova Nyasaye,’ nikech giduto giningʼeya, kochakore ngʼat matinie moloyo nyaka ngʼat maduongʼie moloyo,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho. “Nimar anawenegi timbegi maricho kendo ok anachak apar richogi kendo.”

35 Thus saith the LORD, Who giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirreth up the sea, that the waves thereof roar, the LORD of hosts is His name:

Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho, ngʼatno mayiero chiengʼ mondo orieny godiechiengʼ, machiko dwe gi sulwe mondo orieny gotieno, mamiyo apaka mag nam ruto, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego e nyinge:

36 If these ordinances depart from before Me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before Me for ever.

Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Mana ka chikegi olal e wangʼa, e kaka nyikwa Israel nowe bedo oganda e nyima.”

37 Thus saith the LORD: If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, then will I also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.

Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Kane ni polo malo inyalo pim kendo mise mar piny inyalo many, eka anakwed nyikwa Israel nikech gigo duto magisetimo,” Jehova Nyasaye wacho.

38 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the city shall be built to the LORD from the tower of Hananel unto the gate of the corner.

Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Kinde biro, ma dala maduongʼ ibiro gerona kendo, kochakore Kar Ngʼicho Motingʼore gi Malo mar Hananel nyaka e Dhoranga Kona.

39 And the measuring line shall yet go out straight forward unto the hill Gareb, and shall turn about unto Goah.

Tond pimo norie kochakore kanyo tir nyaka e got matin mar Gareb bangʼe ogomo kochiko Goa.

40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the brook Kidron, unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy unto the LORD; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.

Holono duto mopongʼ gi ringre joma otho kendo kama ipuke buru, kod kuonde duto mokuny duto, nodhi e Holo mar Kidron man yo wuok chiengʼ mochopo nyaka e kona ma Dhoranga Faras, nobed maler ne Jehova Nyasaye. Dala maduongʼni ok nomuki kata kethi.”
