Jeremiah 1
1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the cohanim who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
Weche Jeremia wuod Hilkia, achiel kuom jodolo man Anathoth e piny Benjamin.
2 to whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirone e higa mar apar gadek e loch Josia wuod Amon ruodh Juda,
3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
kendo kokalo e loch Jehoyakim wuod Josia ruodh Juda, kodhi nyaka e dwe mar abich mar higa mar apar gachiel mar Zedekia wuod Josia ruodh Juda, sa mane joma odak Jerusalem dhi e twech.
4 Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona, kawacho niya,
5 "Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you. Before you came forth out of the womb, I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations."
“Kane pok achweyi e ich ne angʼeyi, kane pok onywoli ne asewali tenge; ne ayieri kaka janabi ne pinje.”
6 Then I said, "Ah, Lord GOD. Look, I do not know how to speak; for I am a child."
Ne awacho niya, “Yaye, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, ok angʼeyo wuoyo; an mana rawera matin.”
7 But the LORD said to me, "Do not say, 'I am a child;' for to whoever I shall send you, you shall go, and whatever I shall command you, you shall speak.
To Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Kik iwach ni, ‘An mana nyathi.’ Nyaka idhi ir ji duto maori irgi kendo iwach gimoro amora ma achiki.
8 Do not be afraid because of them; for I am with you to deliver you," says the LORD.
Kik iluorgi, nimar an kodi kendo abiro resoi,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth; and the LORD said to me, "Look, I have put my words in your mouth.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye norieyo bade kendo omulo dhoga mi owachona niya, “Koro, aseketo wechega e dhogi.
10 Look, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant."
Ne, kawuononi ayieri ewi ogendini kod pinjeruodhi mondo ipudhi kendo iyiechi, mondo ikethi kendo ilok loch, mondo iger kendo ipudhi.”
11 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, "Jeremiah, what do you see?" I said, "I see a branch of an almond tree."
Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona niya: “En angʼo mineno, Jeremia?” Anto ne adwoke ni, “Aneno bad yath mar oyungu.”
12 Then the LORD said to me, "You have seen well; for I watch over my word to perform it."
Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Ineno kare, nimar arito mondo ane ni wachna ochopo kare.”
13 The word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying, "What do you see?" I said, "I see a boiling caldron; and it is tipping away from the north."
Wach Jehova Nyasaye nochako birona kendo kopenjo niya, “En angʼo mineno?” Anto ne adwoke niya, “Aneno agulu mayienyo, kolokore oa yo nyandwat.”
14 Then the LORD said to me, "Out of the north evil will break out on all the inhabitants of the land.
Jehova Nyasaye nowachona, “Koa yo nyandwat masira ibiro ol kuom jogo duto modak e piny.
15 For, look, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north," says the LORD; "and they shall come, and they shall each set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls all around, and against all the cities of Judah.
Achiegni luongo ji duto mag pinje ma yo nyandwat,” Jehova Nyasaye wacho. Ruodhigi biro biro kendo giniket kom duongʼ-gi e kar donjo mar dhorangeye Jerusalem; gibiro monjo ohingini duto molwore kendo monjo mier madongo duto mag Juda.
16 I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, and worshiped the works of their own hands.
Abiro ngʼadone joga bura nikech timbegi mamono mar jwangʼa, kuom wangʼo ubani ne nyiseche mamoko kendo lamo gima lwetgi oseloso.
17 "You therefore put your belt on your waist, arise, and speak to them all that I command you. Do not be dismayed at them, lest I dismay you before them.
“Bed moikore! Chungʼ malo kendo wachnegi gimoro amora machiki. Kik iwe gibwogi, ka ok kamano to abiro bwogi e nyimgi.
18 For, look, I have made you this day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and bronze walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its cohanim, and against the people of the land.
Kawuono aseketi dala maduongʼ mochiel motegno, kendo gi siro mar chuma kod ohinga mar mula mondo ogengʼne piny ngima, ma gin ruodhi mag Juda, jotende, jodolo mage kod ji duto mag pinyno.
19 They will fight against you; but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you," says the LORD, "to deliver you."
Gibiro kedo kodi to ok gini loyi, nimar an kodi kendo abiro resi,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
