Jeremiah 50
1 The word that YHWH has spoken concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by the hand of Jeremiah the prophet:
Ma e wach mane Jehova Nyasaye owacho kuom Babulon kod piny jo-Babulon kokalo kuom Jeremia janabi:
2 “Declare among nations, and sound, And lift up an ensign, sound, do not hide, Say, Babylon has been captured, Bel has been put to shame, Merodach has been broken, Her grievous things have been put to shame, Her idols have been broken.
“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 a nation from the north has come up against her, It makes her land become a desolation, And there is not an inhabitant in it. From man even to beast, They have moved, they have gone.
Piny moa yo nyandwat nomonje kendo pinye nodongʼ gunda. Onge ngʼama nodag e iye; ji kaachiel gi le noringi.”
4 In those days, and at that time,” A declaration of YHWH, “Sons of Israel come in, They and sons of Judah together, Going on and weeping they go, And they seek their God YHWH.
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 ask the way [to] Zion, Their faces [are] toward that place: Come in, and we are joined to YHWH, A perpetual covenant—never 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 have been a perishing flock, Their shepherds have caused them to err, Causing them to go back [on] the mountains, They have gone from mountain to hill, They have forgotten their crouching-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 finding them have devoured them, And their adversaries have said: We are not guilty, Because that they sinned against YHWH, The habitation of righteousness, And the hope of their fathers—YHWH.
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 Move from the midst of Babylon, And go out from the land of the Chaldeans; And be as male goats before a flock.
“Ringuru uwuog Babulon; ayeuru e piny jo-Babulon, kendo uchal gi diek motelone jamni.
9 For behold, I am stirring up, And am causing to come up against Babylon, An assembly of great nations from [the] land of the north, And they have set in array against her, From there she is captured, Its arrow—as a skillful hero—does not return empty,
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 has been for a spoil, All her spoilers are satisfied,” A declaration of YHWH.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Omiyo Babulon noyaki; jogo moyake nokaw gik moromogi.
11 “Because you rejoice, because you exult, O spoilers of My inheritance, Because you increase as a heifer [at] the tender grass, And cry aloud as bulls,
“Nikech un gi ilo kendo umor, un joma ketho girkeni maga, nikech uchwe ka nyaroya machamo lum kendo ugiro ka farese,
12 Your mother has been greatly ashamed, She who bore you has been confounded, Behold, the last of nations [is] 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 YHWH it is not inhabited, And it has been a desolation—all of it. Everyone passing by at Babylon is astonished, And hisses because of 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 all around, All you treading a bow, Shoot at her, have no pity on the arrow, For she has sinned against YHWH.
“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 all around, She has given forth her hand, Her foundations have fallen, Her walls have been thrown down, For it [is] the vengeance of YHWH, Be avenged of her, as she did—do to 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 handling the sickle in the time of harvest, Because of the oppressing sword, Each to his people—they turn, And each to his land—they flee.
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 as] a scattered sheep, Lions have driven [him] away, At first, the king of Asshur devoured him, And now, at last, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has broken his bone.
“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 said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Behold, I am seeing after the king of Babylon, And after his land, As I have seen after the king of Asshur;
Emomiyo ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: “Anakum ruodh Babulon gi pinye kaka ne akumo ruodh Asuria.
19 And I have brought Israel back to his habitation, And he has fed on Carmel and on Bashan; And his soul is satisfied on Mount Ephraim and on 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 at that time,” A declaration of YHWH, “The iniquity of Israel is sought, and it is not, And the sin of Judah, and it is not found, For I am propitious to those whom I leave!
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 Against the land of Merathaim, go up against it, And to the inhabitants of Pekod, Dry up and devote their posterity,” A declaration of YHWH, “And do according to all that I have commanded you.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Monj piny Merathaim kod jogo modak Pekod. Lawgi, neg-gi kendo utiekgi duto. Timuru gimoro amora masechikou.
22 A noise of battle [is] in the land, And of great destruction.
Koko mar lweny ni e piny, koko mar kethruok maduongʼ!
23 How it has been cut and broken, The hammer of the whole earth! How Babylon has been for a desolation among 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 you, And you are also captured, O Babylon, And you have known, You have been found, and are also caught, For you have stirred yourself up against YHWH.
Achikonu obadho, yaye Babulon, kendo nomaku kapod ok ungʼeyo; noyudu kendo omaku nikech ne ukwedo Jehova Nyasaye.
25 YHWH has opened His treasury, And He brings out the weapons of His indignation, For a work [is] to Lord YHWH of Hosts, 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 in to her from the extremity, Open her storehouses, Raise her up as heaps, and devote her, Let her have no remnant.
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 cows, they go down to slaughter, Woe [is] on them, for their day has come, The time of their inspection.
Neguru nyirwedhi mage duto; we gidhi e kar yengʼo! Mano kaka gininee malit! Nimar odiechiengʼ osechopo, kinde monego kumgi.
28 A voice of fugitives and escaped ones [Is] from the land of Babylon, To declare in Zion the vengeance of our God YHWH, 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 Summon archers to Babylon, all treading the bow, Encamp against her all around, Let [her] have no escape; Repay to her according to her work, According to all that she did—do to her, For she has been proud against YHWH, 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 her young men fall in her broad places, And all her men of war are cut off in that day,” A declaration of YHWH.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Emomiyo, joge matindo nogore piny e yore; jolweny mage duto nonegi odiechiengno.”
31 “Behold, I [am] against you, O pride,” A declaration of Lord YHWH of Hosts, “For your day has come, the time of your inspection.
Ruoth, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, “Ne, ok adwari, yaye janjore, nimar odiechiengi osechopo, kinde mari mar kum.
32 And pride has stumbled, And he has fallen, and has none raising up, And I have kindled a fire in his cities, And it has devoured all around him.
Janjore nochwanyre kendo podhi kendo onge ngʼama nochunge malo; anamok mach e dalane manowangʼ jogo duto man machiegni kode.”
33 Thus said YHWH of Hosts: The sons of Israel are oppressed, And the sons of Judah together, And all their captors have kept hold on them, They have refused to send them away.
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, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name, He thoroughly pleads their cause, So as to cause the land to rest, And He has given trouble to 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] for the Chaldeans,” A declaration of YHWH, “And it [is] on the inhabitants of Babylon, And on her heads, and on 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] on the princes, And they have become foolish; A sword [is] on her mighty ones, And they have been broken down;
Ligangla notiek jonabi mage mag miriambo! Ginibed joma ofuwo. Ligangla notiek jolweny mage! Luoro maduongʼ nomakgi.
37 A sword [is] on his horses and on his chariot, And on all the rabble who [are] in her midst, And they have become women; A sword [is] on her treasuries, And they have been spoiled;
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 sword [is] on her waters, and they have been dried up, For it [is] a land of carved images, And they boast themselves in idols.
Pige mag aoregi nodwon matuo. Nimar en piny mopongʼ gi nyiseche manono, ma gin nyiseche mamiyo neko nomaku.
39 Therefore desert-dwellers dwell with howlers, Indeed, daughters of the ostrich have dwelt in her, And it is not inhabited anymore forever, Nor 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 the overthrow by God of Sodom, And of Gomorrah, and of its neighbors,” A declaration of YHWH, “None dwell there, Nor does a son of man sojourn in her.
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 has come from the north, Even a great nation, And many kings are stirred up from the sides of the earth.
“Neuru! Jolweny biro koa yo nyandwat; oganda maduongʼ kod ruodhi mangʼeny itugo koa e tunge piny.
42 They seize bow and javelin, They [are] cruel, and they have no mercy, Their voice sounds as a sea, and they ride on horses, Set in array as a man for battle, Against you, 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 has heard their report, And his hands have been feeble, Distress has seized him; pain as a travailing woman.
Ruodh Babulon osewinjo humbgi; kendo bedene onge gi teko. Rem malich osemake, ka rem mar dhako mamuoch kayo.
44 Behold, he comes up as a lion, Because of the rising of the Jordan, To the enduring habitation, But I cause to rest, I cause them to run from off her. And who is chosen? I lay a charge on her, For who [is] like Me? And who convenes Me? And who [is] this shepherd who stands 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 the counsel of YHWH, That He counseled concerning Babylon, And His plans that He has devised Concerning the land of the Chaldeans; Do little ones of the flock not drag them out, Does He not make the habitation desolate over 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 From the sound of Babylon having been captured, The earth has been shaken, And a cry has been heard among nations!”
E kinde ma Babulon nomaki piny noyiengni; ywakne nowinjre e dier pinje.
