Jeremiah 50
1 The word that the LORD spoke concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by Jeremiah the prophet.
Ma e wach mane Jehova Nyasaye owacho kuom Babulon kod piny jo-Babulon kokalo kuom Jeremia janabi:
2 Declare ye among the nations and announce, and set up a standard; announce, and conceal not; say: 'Babylon is taken, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is dismayed; her images are put to shame, her idols are dismayed.'
“Nyisuru kendo landuru e dier ogendini, tingʼuru bandera kendo landuru; kik upand gimoro, to wachni, ‘Babulon nomaki; Bel wiye nokuodi, Marduk luoro nogo ngoga. Gige mopa nokuod wigi kendo nyisechegi manono nopongʼ gi luoro.’
3 For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein; they are fled, they are gone, both man and beast.
Piny moa yo nyandwat nomonje kendo pinye nodongʼ gunda. Onge ngʼama nodag e iye; ji kaachiel gi le noringi.”
4 In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together; they shall go on their way weeping, and shall seek the LORD their God.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “E ndalogo, sa nogono, jo-Israel gi jo-Juda nodhi kaachiel ka pi wangʼ-gi chwer, ka gidwaro Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi.
5 They shall inquire concerning Zion with their faces hitherward: 'Come ye, and join yourselves to the LORD in an everlasting covenant that shall not be forgotten.'
Ginipenj yo madhi Sayun kendo gilok wengegi kochiko kuno. Ginibi kendo ginitwere kuom Jehova Nyasaye e singruok mochwere, ma wich ok nowil godo.
6 My people hath been lost sheep; their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains; they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting-place.
“Joga osebedo rombe molal; jokwathgi osewitogi, kendo osemiyogi bayo e gode madongo. Negibayo e gode madongo gi gode matindo, kendo wigi ne owil gi kargi mar yweyo.
7 All that found them have devoured them; and their adversaries said: 'We are not guilty'; because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers.
Ngʼato angʼata mane oyudogi nokidhogi; wasikgi nowacho niya, ‘Ok wan joketho, nimar negitimo richo ni Jehova Nyasaye, kar kwadhgi madiera, Jehova Nyasaye, geno mar wuonegi.’
8 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he-goats before the flocks.
“Ringuru uwuog Babulon; ayeuru e piny jo-Babulon, kendo uchal gi diek motelone jamni.
9 For, lo, I will stir up and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country; and they shall set themselves in array against her, from thence she shall be taken; their arrows shall be as of a mighty man that maketh childless; none shall return in vain.
Anami ogendini maroteke moriwore moa yo nyandwat obi omonj Babulon. Ginikaw keregi mondo gimonje, kendo koa yo nyandwat enomake. Aserni mag-gi nochal gi jolweny molony, ma ok duogi gi lwetgi nono.”
10 And Chaldea shall be a spoil; all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the LORD.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Omiyo Babulon noyaki; jogo moyake nokaw gik moromogi.
11 Because ye are glad, because ye rejoice, O ye that plunder My heritage, because ye gambol as a heifer at grass, and neigh as strong horses;
“Nikech un gi ilo kendo umor, un joma ketho girkeni maga, nikech uchwe ka nyaroya machamo lum kendo ugiro ka farese,
12 Your mother shall be sore ashamed, she that bore you shall be confounded; behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
minu wiye nokuodi malich; ngʼatno mane onywolou nobed gi wichkuot maduongʼ. En ema nobedie ngʼat matin kuom ogendini, nochal thim, piny motimo ongoro, kama otwo.
13 Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate; every one that goeth by Babylon shall be appalled and hiss at all her plagues.
Nikech ich wangʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye, ok nobed gi joma odak e iye, to enobed gunda chuth. Jogo duto makalo Babulon, nobed gi bwok maduongʼ kendo nyiere nikech adhondene duto.
14 Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about, all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows; for she hath sinned against the LORD.
“Kawuru kereu e alwora mar Babulon, un duto maywayo atungʼ. Bayeuru gi asere! Kik uwe asere moro amora, nimar osetimo richo ne Jehova Nyasaye.
15 Shout against her round about, she hath submitted herself; her buttresses are fallen, her walls are thrown down; for it is the vengeance of the LORD, take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her.
Gone koko kuonde duto! Otingʼo bade kanyiso ni oloye, kuondene mag ngʼicho motingʼore gi malo podho, ohinga mage imuko. Nikech ma e chulo kuor mar Jehova Nyasaye, chulneuru kuor; timneuru kaka osetimo ni joma moko.
16 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest; For fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.
Gol jachwoyo oko e Babulon, kod jakeyo gi pande mar keyo. Nikech ligangla mar ngʼama thiro ji we ngʼato ka ngʼato odog ir joge, we ngʼato ka ngʼato oringi odhi e pinye owuon.
17 Israel is a scattered sheep, the lions have driven him away; first the king of Assyria hath devoured him, and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.
“Israel chalo gi rombe mokee ma sibuor oseriembo. Mano mane okwongo kidhe ne en ruodh Asuria; mano mogik mane oturo chokege ne en Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon.”
18 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
Emomiyo ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: “Anakum ruodh Babulon gi pinye kaka ne akumo ruodh Asuria.
19 And I will bring Israel back to his pasture, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead.
To anaduog Israel e kare mar kwath kendo enokwa e Karmel kod Bashan; noyiengʼ e gode matindo mag Efraim gi Gilead.”
20 In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none, and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found; for I will pardon them whom I leave as a remnant.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “E ndalogo, e sechego, nomany ketho Israel, to onge manoyudi, kendo ne richo Juda, to onge manoyudi, nimar anangʼwon-ne jogo mane odongʼ mane aweyo.”
21 Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod; waste and utterly destroy after them, saith the LORD, and do according to all that I have commanded thee.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Monj piny Merathaim kod jogo modak Pekod. Lawgi, neg-gi kendo utiekgi duto. Timuru gimoro amora masechikou.
22 Hark! battle is in the land, and great destruction.
Koko mar lweny ni e piny, koko mar kethruok maduongʼ!
23 How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
Mano kaka nyundo mar piny ngima otur kendo obarore! Mano kaka Babulon odongʼ, gunda e dier pinje!
24 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware; thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD.
Achikonu obadho, yaye Babulon, kendo nomaku kapod ok ungʼeyo; noyudu kendo omaku nikech ne ukwedo Jehova Nyasaye.
25 The LORD hath opened His armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of His indignation; for it is a work that the Lord GOD of hosts hath to do in the land of the Chaldeans.
Jehova Nyasaye oseyawo kare mar kano gige lweny, kendo ogolo gige mag lweny mag mirimbe, nimar Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto kendo Maratego nigi tich monego ti e piny jo-Babulon.
26 Come against her from every quarter, open her granaries, cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly; let nothing of her be left.
Bi imonje gi kuma bor. Yiech deche mage; choke ka pith mar cham. Tieke chuth, kendo kik obed gi ngʼato moro amora motony.
27 Slay all her bullocks, let them go down to the slaughter; woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation.
Neguru nyirwedhi mage duto; we gidhi e kar yengʼo! Mano kaka gininee malit! Nimar odiechiengʼ osechopo, kinde monego kumgi.
28 Hark! they flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of His temple.
Winjuru jo-Israel maringo kod matony koa Babulon, mawacho e Sayun ni mano kaka Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa osechulo kuor, kuor nikech hekalu mare.
29 Call together the archers against Babylon, all them that bend the bow; encamp against her round about, let none thereof escape; recompense her according to her work, according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been arrogant against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.
“Chikuru jo-aserni mondo omonj Babulon, jogo duto maywayo atungʼ. Chokreuru bute; kik uwe ngʼato pondi. Chuleuru nikech timbene; timneuru kaka osetimo. Nimar ok osewinjo Jehova Nyasaye, Jal Maler mar Israel.”
30 Therefore shall her young men fall in her broad places, and all her men of war shall be brought to silence in that day, saith the LORD.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Emomiyo, joge matindo nogore piny e yore; jolweny mage duto nonegi odiechiengno.”
31 Behold, I am against thee, O thou most arrogant, saith the Lord GOD of hosts; for thy day is come, the time that I will punish thee.
Ruoth, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, “Ne, ok adwari, yaye janjore, nimar odiechiengi osechopo, kinde mari mar kum.
32 And the most arrogant shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up; and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all that are round about him.
Janjore nochwanyre kendo podhi kendo onge ngʼama nochunge malo; anamok mach e dalane manowangʼ jogo duto man machiegni kode.”
33 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: The children of Israel and the children of Judah are oppressed together; and all that took them captives hold them fast; they refuse to let them go.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho: “Jo-Israel ithiro, kaachiel gi jo-Juda bende kamano. Joma ne omakogi nomakogi matek, ma ok nyal weyogi gidhi.
34 Their Redeemer is strong, the LORD of hosts is His name; He will thoroughly plead their cause, that He may give rest to the earth, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
Kata kamano Jawar margi en ratego; Jehova Nyasaye Maratego e nyinge. Enokonygi gi nyalone duto mondo omi gibed gi yweyo e pinygi; to jo-Babulon nomi obed gi tungni.”
35 A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the LORD, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Ligangla notiek jo-Babulon! Notiek jogo modak Babulon kendo notiek jotende kod joge mariek!
36 A sword is upon the boasters, and they shall become fools; a sword is upon her mighty men, and they shall be dismayed.
Ligangla notiek jonabi mage mag miriambo! Ginibed joma ofuwo. Ligangla notiek jolweny mage! Luoro maduongʼ nomakgi.
37 A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her, and they shall become as women; a sword is upon her treasures, and they shall be robbed.
Ligangla notiek faresege gi gechene kod welo duto mane ondiko e lweny! Ginibed ka mon. Ligangla notiek kuondegi mag kano mwandu kendo nokwalgi!
38 A drought is upon her waters, and they shall be dried up; for it is a land of graven images, and they are mad upon things of horror.
Pige mag aoregi nodwon matuo. Nimar en piny mopongʼ gi nyiseche manono, ma gin nyiseche mamiyo neko nomaku.
39 Therefore the wild-cats with the jackals shall dwell there, and the ostriches shall dwell therein; and it shall be no more inhabited for ever, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
“Omiyo gige thim kod ondiegi nodag kanyo, kendo kanyo tula nodagie. Onge gima nobedie kendo onge ngʼama nochak odagie e tienge duto.”
40 As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Mana kaka Nyasaye noketho Sodom gi Gomora, kaachiel gi mier mokiewo kodgi, e kaka en bende nobedi maonge ngʼato angʼata, modak kanyo kendo.
41 Behold, a people cometh from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be roused from the uttermost parts of the earth.
“Neuru! Jolweny biro koa yo nyandwat; oganda maduongʼ kod ruodhi mangʼeny itugo koa e tunge piny.
42 They lay hold on bow and spear, they are cruel, and have no compassion; their voice is like the roaring sea, and they ride upon horses; set in array, as a man for war, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
Gimanore gi atungʼ kod tongʼ; giger kendo gionge ngʼwono. Gimor ka nam mogingore ka giriembo faresegi; gibiro ka ji mochanore komanore gi gige lweny mondo gimonju, yaye Nyar Babulon.
43 The king of Babylon hath heard the fame of them, and his hands wax feeble; anguish hath taken hold of him, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
Ruodh Babulon osewinjo humbgi; kendo bedene onge gi teko. Rem malich osemake, ka rem mar dhako mamuoch kayo.
44 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan against the strong habitation; for I will suddenly make them run away from it, and whoso is chosen, him will I appoint over it; for who is like Me? and who will appoint Me a time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before Me?
Mana ka sibuor mabiro koa e bungu moyugno mar Jordan, nyaka kar kwath man-gi lum, e kaka anariemb Babulon oa e pinye kadiemo wangʼ. En ngʼa mowal manyalo yiero ne ma? En ngʼa machalo koda kendo manyalo chungʼ koda? Koso jakwath mane manyalo chungʼ koda?”
45 Therefore hear ye the counsel of the LORD, that He hath taken against Babylon, and His purposes, that He hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: surely the least of the flock shall drag them away, surely their habitation shall be appalled at them.
Emomiyo, winj gima Jehova Nyasaye osechano timo ne Babulon, gima oseramo ni nyaka otimne piny jo-Babulon: Nyithi rombe bende nokaw; enoketh chuth kuondegi mag kwath nikech gin.
46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth quaketh, and the cry is heard among the nations.
E kinde ma Babulon nomaki piny noyiengni; ywakne nowinjre e dier pinje.
