Jeremiah 22
1 Thus said YHWH: “Go down [to] the house of the king of Judah, and you have spoken this word there, and have said,
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Dhiyo e kar dak mar ruodh Juda kendo iland wachni kanyo:
2 Hear a word of YHWH, O king of Judah, who are sitting on the throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people, who are coming in at these gates,”
‘Winj wach Jehova Nyasaye, yaye ruodh Juda, un joma bet e kom duongʼ Daudi, in, jotendi kod jogi madonjo gie dhorangeyegi.
3 Thus said YHWH: “Do judgment and righteousness, And deliver the plundered from the hand of the oppressor, And sojourner, orphan, and widow, you do not oppress nor wrong, And innocent blood you do not shed in this place.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Tim gima nikare kendo mowinjore. Res ngʼatno e lwet ngʼama thire, ngʼatno mosemaye. Kik itim marach kata tugo lweny gi jadak, kiye kata mon ma chwogi otho, kendo kik ichwer remo maonge gi wach ka eri.
4 For if you certainly do this thing, Then kings sitting for David on his throne Have come in by the gates of this house, Riding on chariot, and on horses, He, and his servants, and his people.
Nimar ka urito chikegi maber, eka ruodhi mabet e kom duongʼ mar Daudi nondonji gi e dhorangeye mag kar dak ruoth, ka giriembo geche kendo giidho farese, ka gin gi jotendgi kod jogegi.
5 And if you do not hear these words, I have sworn by Myself,” A declaration of YHWH, “That this house is for a desolation.”
To ka ok urito chikegi, Jehova Nyasaye wacho, akwongʼora an owuon ni kar dak ruodhni nolal nono.’”
6 For thus said YHWH concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You [are] Gilead to Me—head of Lebanon, If not—I make you a wilderness, Cities [that] are not inhabited.
Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho kuom kar dak mar ruodh Juda: “Kata obedo ni in kaka Gilead ne an, kaka wi got Lebanon, adiera analoku kaka kama otwo, ka mier maonge joma odakie.
7 And I have separated destroyers for you, Each with his weapons, And they have cut down the choice of your cedars, And have cast them on the fire.”
Anaor joma tiekou, ngʼato ka ngʼato gi gige lweny, kendo ginitongʼ sirniu mabeyo mag sida mi giwitgi ei mach.
8 And many nations have passed by this city, And they have each said to his neighbor, “Why has YHWH done thus to this great city?”
“Ji moa e pinje mangʼeny nokal e dala maduongʼni kendo ginipenjre kendgi giwegi ni, ‘Angʼo momiyo Jehova Nyasaye timo gima chalo kama ne dala maduongʼni?’
9 And they have said, “Because that they have forsaken The covenant of their God YHWH, And bow themselves to other gods, and serve them.”
To dwoko nobed: ‘Nikech gisejwangʼo singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi kendo giselamo kendo tiyone nyiseche mamoko.’”
10 You do not weep for the dead, nor bemoan for him, Weep severely for the traveler, For he does not return again, Nor has he seen the land of his birth.
Kik uywag ruoth motho kata goyo nduru ne lal mare; to onego, uywag malit ne ngʼatno moter e twech, nikech ok enoduogi kata neno piny mane onywole kendo.
11 For thus said YHWH concerning Shallum son of Josiah king of Judah, who is reigning instead of his father Josiah, who has gone forth from this place: “He does not return here again;
Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye osewacho kawuoyo kuom Shalum wuod Josia, mane okawo loch bangʼ wuon-gi kaka ruodh Juda, “Osea ka kendo ok nodwogi.
12 For he dies in the place to where they have removed him, And he does not see this land again.
Enotho kama gisetere e twech; ok enone pinyni kendo.”
13 Woe to him who is building his house by unrighteousness, And his upper chambers by injustice, He lays service on his neighbor for nothing, And he does not give his wage to him.
“Mano kaka none malit ngʼatno magero kare mar dak maonge ratiro, utene mamalo e yor mecho koketo jothurgi tiyo maonge chudo.
14 Who is saying, I build a large house for myself, And airy upper chambers, And he has cut out its windows for himself, Covered with cedar, and painted with vermillion.
Owacho, ‘Anagerne an owuon kar dak mara maduongʼ ka en-gi ute mamalo malach.’ Omiyo oloso dirisni malach kuome, olwore gi fito mar yiend sida, kendo obuke gi range marakwaro.
15 Do you reign, because you are fretting yourself in cedar? Your father—did he not eat and drink? Indeed, he did judgment and righteousness, Then [it is] well with him.
“Bedo gi yiende mag sida mangʼeny nyalo miyo ibed ruoth? Donge wuonu ne nigi chiemo kod math? Notimo gima ratiro kendo nikare, omiyo duto nobedo maber kode.
16 He decided the cause of the poor and needy, Then [it is] well—is it not to know Me?” A declaration of YHWH.
Ne ochungʼ motegno ne joma odhier kendo ni gidwaro, kendo duto nobedo maber kode. Donge mano e tiend ngʼeya?” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
17 “But your eyes and your heart are not, Except on your dishonest gain, And on shedding of innocent blood, And on oppression, and on doing of violence.”
“To wengeu kod chunyu ochikore mana e yor yudo ohala gi mecho, e chwero remo maonge gi wach kuom thiro ji kod lweny.”
18 Therefore, thus said YHWH concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: “They do not lament for him, Oh, my brother! And, Oh, my sister! They do not lament for him, Oh, lord! And, Oh, his splendor!
Emomiyo ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho kuom Jehoyakim wuod Josia ruodh Juda: “Ok giniywage ni: ‘Yaye, owadwa! Yaye, nyamera!’ Ok giniywage ni: ‘Yaye, jatenda! Yaye, duongʼ mari!’
19 He is buried [with] the burial of a donkey, Dragged and cast out there to the gates of Jerusalem.
Enoyike ka punda, moywa kendo owit oko mar dhorangeye Jerusalem.”
20 Go up to Lebanon, and cry, And give forth your voice in Bashan, And cry from Abarim, For all loving you have been destroyed.
“Dhiyo Lebanon kendo iywag matek, mad dwondi winjre Bashan, ywagi ka ia Abarim, nimar joma osiepenigo oseduny matindo tindo.
21 I have spoken to you in your ease, You have said, I do not listen, This [is] your way from your youth, For you have not listened to My voice.
Ne amiyou siem e kinde mane uparo ni uritoru maber, to ne iwacho ni, ‘Ok anachik ita!’ Ma osebedo yori chakre ibed rawera; ok iseluora.
22 Wind consumes all your friends, And your lovers go into captivity, Surely then you are ashamed, And have blushed for all your wickedness.
Yamo noriemb jokwadhu duto, kendo joma osiepeni noter e twech. Eka wiyi nokuodi kendo nogengʼni nikech timbegi maricho.
23 O dweller in Lebanon, making a nest among cedars, How gracious have you been when pangs come to you, Pain—as of a travailing woman.”
Un jogo modak Lebanon, modak e ute bao mag sida moger gi malo, mano kaka unuywag malit ka rem ochopo kuomu, rem machalo gi mar dhako mamuoch kayo!”
24 “[As] I live,” A declaration of YHWH, “Though Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah was a seal on My right hand, surely there I draw you away,
Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “An Jehova Nyasaye mangima akwongʼora ni kata ne bed ni in Jehoyakin wuod Jehoyakim ruodh Juda, ni in e tere manie lweta ma korachwich, to pod dawuodhi oko.
25 And I have given you into the hand of those seeking your life, And into hands of which you are afraid, Into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Anachiwi ne jogo madwaro ngimani kendo miluoro. Abiro chiwou ne Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon kod jo-Babulon.
26 And I have cast you, And your mother who bore you, to another country, Where you were not born, and you die there.
Anadiri oko kod miyo mane onywoli e piny machielo, kama onge ngʼama nonywole kuomu, kendo kanyo ema uduto unuthoe.
27 And to the land to where they are lifting up their soul to return, They do not return there.”
Ok unuduogie piny ma ugombo duogoeni.”
28 A grief—a despised broken thing—is this man Coniah? A vessel in which there is no pleasure? Why have they been cast up and down, He and his seed, Indeed, were they cast on to a land that they did not know?
Bende ngʼatni Jehoyakin en ngʼama ojar, agulu motore, gino maonge ngʼama dwaro? En angʼo momiyo en kod nyithinde nyaka witgi oko e piny ma ok gingʼeyo?
29 Earth, earth, earth, hear a word of YHWH!
Yaye piny, piny, piny, winj wach Jehova Nyasaye!
30 Thus said YHWH: “Write this man down [as] childless, A man—he does not prosper in his days, For none of his seed prospers, Sitting on the throne of David, And ruling in Judah again!”
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Kwan ngʼatni ka ngʼama onge nyathi, ngʼatno ma ok nyal dhi nyime maber, e kinde mar ngimane, nimar onge gunde mane dhi maber, onge manobed e kom duongʼ Daudi, kata bed gi loch kendo ei Juda.”
