Jeremiah 42
1 Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest, came near,
Eka jotend lweny duto, kaachiel gi Johanan wuod Karea kod Jezania wuod Hoshaya, kod ji duto chakre matin nyaka maduongʼ nodhi ir
2 and said unto Jeremiah the prophet: 'Let, we pray thee, our supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us unto the LORD thy God, even for all this remnant; for we are left but a few of many, as thine eyes do behold us;
janabi Jeremia kendo owachone niya, “Kiyie to iwinj kwayowa kendo ilamnwa Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi ne joma otonygi duto. Nimar kaka ineno sani, kata obedoni chon ne wangʼeny, to koro sani ji matin ema odongʼ.
3 that the LORD thy God may tell us the way wherein we should walk, and the thing that we should do.'
Lem mondo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi onyiswa kuma wanyalo dhiyoe kendo gima wanyalo timo.”
4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them: 'I have heard you; behold, I will pray unto the LORD your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing the LORD shall answer you, I will declare it unto you; I will keep nothing back from you.'
Janabi Jeremia nodwoko niya, “Asewinjou. Adier nyaka analamnu Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasacha kaka usekwayo; ananyisu gimoro amora ma Jehova Nyasaye owacho kendo onge gima anapandnu.”
5 Then they said to Jeremiah: 'The LORD be a true and faithful witness against us, if we do not even according to all the word wherewith the LORD thy God shall send thee to us.
Eka negiwachone Jeremia, “Mad Jehova Nyasaye bed ja-adiera kendo janeno makare kuomwa ka dipo ni timbewa ok oluwore gi gimoro ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi ooroi godo irwa.
6 Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will hearken to the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us, when we hearken to the voice of the LORD our God.'
Kowinjore kata ka ok owinjore, wanaluor Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa, ma waori ire, mondo omi obed maber kodwa, nimar wanaluor Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa.”
7 And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah.
Bangʼ ndalo apar wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Jeremia.
8 Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
Omiyo noluongo Johanan wuod Karea kod jotend lweny mane ni kode kod ji duto chakre matin nyaka maduongʼ.
9 and said unto them: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before Him:
Nowachonegi niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, mane uora ire mondo aterne kwayou, wacho:
10 If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I repent Me of the evil that I have done unto you.
‘Ka idak e pinyni, anageru kendo ok anatieku; anapidhu to ok pudhou oko, nimar asebedo gi lit kuom masiche masekelo kuomu.
11 Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the LORD; for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
Kik uluor ruodh Babulon, makoro uluoro. Kik uluore, Jehova Nyasaye wacho, nimar an kodu kendo anaresu ua e lwetene.
12 And I will grant you compassion, that he may have compassion upon you, and cause you to return to your own land.
Anatimnu ngʼwono mondo omi en bende ongʼwonnu kendo odwoku e pinyu.’
13 But if ye say: We will not abide in this land; so that ye hearken not to the voice of the LORD your God;
“To ka uwacho, ‘Ok wanadagie pinyni,’ mamano mi ubed ma ok uluoro Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu,
14 saying: No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the horn, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we abide;
kendo ka uwacho ni, ‘Ooyo, wanadhi kendo wadag Misri, kama ok wana neye lweny kata winjo turumbete kata bedo gi kech mar makati,’
15 now therefore hear ye the word of the LORD, O remnant of Judah: Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there;
to uwinj wach Jehova Nyasaye, yaye joma otony modongʼ mag Juda. Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: ‘Ka uramo ni nyaka udhi Misri kendo udhi udak kanyo,
16 then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye fear, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye are afraid, shall follow hard after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die.
to ngʼeuru ni ligangla ma uluoro nomaku, kendo kech mabwogou noluu nyaka Misri, kendo kanyo ema unuthoe.
17 So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.
Adiera, jogo duto moramo mondo odhi odag Misri noneg gi ligangla, kech kod masira maonge ngʼato angʼata ma notony e chandruok mabiro kelo kuomgi.’
18 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: As Mine anger and My fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall My fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt; and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: ‘Kaka ich wangʼ mara kod mirimba aseolo kuom jogo modak Jerusalem, e kaka mirimba ibiro olo kuomu ka udhi Misri. Inibed gir kwongʼ kendo mabwogo ji, gima ingʼadogo bura kendo gir ajara; ok unuchak une kaeni kendo.’
19 The LORD hath spoken concerning you, O remnant of Judah: Go ye not into Egypt; know certainly that I have forewarned you this day.
“Yaye jo-Juda modongʼ, Jehova Nyasaye osenyisou ni, ‘Kik udhi Misri.’ Beduru gadiera kuom ma: Asiemou kawuono
20 For ye have dealt deceitfully against your own souls; for ye sent me unto the LORD your God, saying: Pray for us unto the LORD our God; and according unto all that the LORD our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it;
ni ne uketho ketho malich kane uora ir Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kendo uwacho ni, ‘Lamnwa Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa; nyiswa gik moko duto mowacho kendo wanatim kamano.’
21 and I have this day declared it to you; but ye have not hearkened to the voice of the LORD your God in any thing for which He hath sent me unto you.
Asewachonu kawuono, to pod ok uluoro Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kuom gigo duto mane oora mondo anyisu.
22 Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go to sojourn there.'
Omiyo koro, beduru gadieri kuom ma: Nonegu gi ligangla, kech kod masira kuma udwaro dhiye mondo udagie.”
