Jeremiah 37
1 And king Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
Zedekia wuod Josia noket ruodh juda gi Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon; nobedo gi loch kar Jehoyakin wuod Jehoyakim.
2 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the words of the LORD, which he spake by the prophet Jeremiah.
En kata jorit mage kata jopinyno ne ok owinjo weche mane Jehova Nyasaye owacho kokalo kuom janabi Jeremia.
3 And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now unto the LORD our God for us.
Ruoth Zedekia, kata kamano, nooro Jehukal wuod Shelemia gi jadolo Zefania wuod Maseya ir janabi Jeremia gi wachni: “Kiyie to lamnwa Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa.”
4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people: for they had not put him into prison.
Koro Jeremia ne nigi thuolo mondo obi kendo odhi e dier ji, nimar ne pod ok okete e od twech.
5 Then Pharaoh’s army was come forth out of Egypt: and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they departed from Jerusalem.
Jolwenj Farao ne osewuok oa Misri, kendo ka jo-Babulon mane gero pidhe kolworo Jerusalem nowinjo wach mar biro margi, ne gidar gia Jerusalem.
6 Then came the word of the LORD unto the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne janabi Jeremia niya:
7 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that sent you unto me to enquire of me; Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.
“Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: Nyis ruodh Juda, mane oorou mondo unona ni, ‘Jolwenj Farao, mosewuok mondo okonyu, biro dok e pinygi giwegi, Misri.
8 And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire.
Eka jo-Babulon nodwogi kendo ginimonj dala maduongʼni; ginikawe kendo wangʼe pep.’
9 Thus saith the LORD; Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us: for they shall not depart.
“Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Kik uwuondru uwegi, kuparo ni, ‘Jo-Babulon gadiera biro weyowa.’ Ok giniweu ngangʼ!
10 For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained [but] wounded men among them, [yet] should they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.
Kata ka bed ni ne unyalo loyo jolwenj Babulon duto ma biro monjou kendo chwo mohiny kende ema odongʼ e hembegi, giniwuogi oko kendo giwangʼ dala maduongʼni.”
11 And it came to pass, that when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,
Bangʼ ka jolwenj Babulon nose aa Jerusalem nikech jolwenj Farao,
12 Then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to separate himself thence in the midst of the people.
Jeremia nochako wuok e dala maduongʼ mondo odhi e gwengʼ Benjamin mondo oyud pokne e dier joma ni kanyo.
13 And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the ward [was] there, whose name [was] Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he took Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans.
To kane ochopo e Dhoranga Benjamin, jatend jorito, ma nyinge en Irija wuod Shelemia, ma wuod Hanania, nomake kendo owacho niya, “Nenore ni iweyowa idokne jo-Babulon!”
14 Then said Jeremiah, [It is] false; I fall not away to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
“Mano ok adiera!” Jeremia nowachone. “Ok aringi adogne jo-Babulon.” To Irija ne ok nyal winje; kuom mano, nomako Jeremia kendo okele ir jotelo.
15 Wherefore the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison.
Igi nowangʼ gi Jeremia kendo negikete ogoye kendo otweye e od Jonathan ma jagoro, mane giloso obedo od twech.
16 When Jeremiah was entered into the dungeon, and into the cabins, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;
Jeremia noketi e od twech manie bwo ot, kama ne obetie kuom kinde marabora.
17 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him out: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there [any] word from the LORD? And Jeremiah said, There is: for, said he, thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.
Eka Ruoth Zedekia nooro mondo okele e kar dak ruoth, kama ne openje akwala niya, “Bende nitiere wach moa kuom Jehova Nyasaye?” Jeremia nodwoko ni, “Nitiere, nikech nochiwi ni ruodh Babulon.”
18 Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, What have I offended against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison?
Eka Jeremia nowachone Ruoth Zedekia niya, “En ketho mane ma asetimoni kata ne jotendi kata ne jogi, momiyo iketa e od twech?
19 Where [are] now your prophets which prophesied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?
To koro ere jonabi mane okoroni ni, ‘Ruodh jo-Babulon ok nomonj pinyu kata in?’
20 Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted before thee; that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
To koro, ruodha, yie iwinja. We akel kwayona e nyimi: Kik idwoka e od Jonathan ma jagoro, ka ok kamano to abiro tho kanyo.”
21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city were spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
Eka Ruoth Zedekia nochiwo chik mondo Jeremia oket e laru jarito kendo miye makati koa e yore mag jolos makati odiechiengʼ ka odiechiengʼ, nyaka makati duto man e dala maduongʼno norumo.
