Jeremiah 13
1 THUS saith the Lord unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye nowachona: “Dhi kendo ingʼiew kamba mar law kendo itweye e nungoni, to kik iweye omak pi.”
2 So I got a girdle according to the word of the Lord, and put it on my loins.
Omiyo nangʼiewo kamba, kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochika, mi atweye e nungona.
3 And the word of the Lord came unto me the second time, saying,
Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kendo mar ariyo:
4 Take the girdle that thou hast got, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.
“Kaw kamba mane ingʼiewo kendo itweyo e nungoni, kendo idhi Perath mi ipande kanyo e bur manie kind lwanda.”
5 So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the Lord commanded me.
Omiyo ne adhi mi apande Perath, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nonyisa.
6 And it came to pass after many days, that the Lord said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there.
Bangʼ ndalo mangʼeny Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Dhi sani Perath kendo ikaw kamba mane anyisi ni ipand kanyo.”
7 Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.
Omiyo ne adhi Perath mi akunyo kambano kendo akawe kama ne apande, makmana nosekethore kendo obedo maonge tich chuth.
8 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona:
9 Thus saith the Lord, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
“Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: ‘Anatiek sunga mar Juda kod sunga malich mar Jerusalem mana e yo machalre kamano.
10 This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.
Joma timbegi mono gi, motamore winjo wechega, matimo gima chunygi ema ohero, ma bende luwo bangʼ nyiseche manono mondo gitine kendo gilamgi, biro chalo gi kambani makoro onge tich chuth!’
11 For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the Lord; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.
Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, ‘Nimar kaka okanda itweyo e nungo dhano, omiyo ne atweyo od Israel duto kod od Juda duto kuoma, mondo gibed joga miluongo gi nyinga, ma kelona pak kod duongʼ. To kata kamano negitamore winja.’
12 Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word; Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall say unto thee, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?
“Wachnegi ni: ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: Ndede duto mag divai onego opongʼ gi divai.’ To kagiwacho ni, ‘Donge wangʼeyo ni ndede mag divai onego pongʼ gi divai?’
13 Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit upon David’s throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
To nyisgi ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Anami ji duto modak e pinyni njawre gi mer, kaachiel gi ruodhi mobet e kom duongʼ mar Daudi, jodolo, jonabi kod jogo duto modak Jerusalem.
14 And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the Lord: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.
Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, Anami ji duto tuomre ngʼato gi ngʼato, wuone kod yawuotgi machalre. Kechna gi herana kod ngʼwonona ok nomona tiekogi.’”
15 Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the Lord hath spoken.
Winji kendo ichik iti, kik ibed jangʼayi, nimar Jehova Nyasaye osewuoyo.
16 Give glory to the Lord your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.
Mi Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachi duongʼ ka pod ok okelo mudho, kapok tiendeni ochwanyore, e gode matindo motimo mudho. Ugombo ler, to enoloke mudho mandiwa mi oloke kuyo malich.
17 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the Lord’s flock is carried away captive.
To ka ok uchiko itu, anaywagi apanda nikech sunga magu; wengena noywagi malit, ka gipongʼ gi pi wangʼ, nikech rombe mag Jehova Nyasaye noter e twech.
18 Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory.
Wachne ruoth kod min ruoth niya, “Loruru uaye kombeu mag duongʼ, nimar osimbo mau mag duongʼ nolwar koa e wiyeu.”
19 The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open them: Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly carried away captive.
Mier madongo man Negev nolor, kendo onge ngʼama noyawgi. Juda duto noter e twech, notergi mabor chuth.
20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock?
Tingʼuru wangʼu malo kendo une joma aa yo nyandwat. Ere kweth mane oket e lwetu, rombe mane usungorugo?
21 What wilt thou say when he shall punish thee? for thou hast taught them to be captains, and as chief over thee: shall not sorrows take thee, as a woman in travail?
Unuwach angʼo ka Jehova Nyasaye oketo ewiu, jogo mane uparo ni osiepeu kaka jotendu? Donge rem nokayi kaka dhako mamuoch kayo?
22 And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered, and thy heels made bare.
Kendo ka ipenjori iwuon, “Angʼo momiyo ma osetimorena?” En nikech richo mau mangʼeny omiyo dugu oseneno kendo dendu osekethore.
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
Bende ja-Kush nyalo loko kit piene kata kwach nyalo loko kido man kuome? Kamano bende ok inyal timo maber, in ngʼatno mongʼiyo gi timbe maricho.
24 Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.
“Anakeu ka mihudhwe miriembo gi yamb kalausi.
25 This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the Lord; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
Ma e pokni ma asechiwoni,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho, “nikech wiu osewil koda kendo useketo genou kuom nyiseche manono.
26 Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy shame may appear.
Anaelu duge mi aum wengeu mondo omi wichkuot mau onere,
27 I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, and thine abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean? when shall it once be?
kaka terruok mau kod gombo mau mandhaga, kod chode mau maonge wichkuot! Aseneno timbeu mamono ewi gode matindo kod e pewe. Mano kaka nine malit, yaye Jerusalem! Nyaka karangʼo mibiro bedo mochido?”
