Jeremiah 21
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, when king Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur the son of Malchijah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the cohen, saying,
Wach nobiro ne Jeremia koa ir Jehova Nyasaye kane Ruoth Zedekia noorone Pashur wuod Malkija kod jadolo Zefania wuod Maseya. Negiwacho:
2 "Please inquire of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon makes war against us: perhaps the LORD will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us."
“Koro lamnwa Jehova Nyasaye nikech Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon monjowa. Sa moro Jehova Nyasaye nyalo timonwa honni mana kaka osetimonwa e kinde mosekalo mondo omi oa kuomwa.”
3 Then Jeremiah said to them, "You shall tell Zedekiah:
To Jeremia nodwokogi niya, “Nyisuru Zedekia,
4 'Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, "Look, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans who besiege you, without the walls; and I will gather them into the midst of this city.
‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, wacho: Achiegni loko gige lweny manie lwetugo mondo ogou, magin mago mutiyogo mondo ukedgo gi ruodh Babulon kod jo-Babulon mantiere oko mar ohinga. Kendo anachokgi duto ei dala maduongʼni.
5 I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation.
An awuon abiro kedo kodi ka iya owangʼ kendo ka an gi mirima mager.
6 I will strike the inhabitants of this city, both man and animal: they shall die of a great pestilence.
Ananeg jogo modak e dala maduongʼni, chwo kaachiel gi le kendo masira malich noneg-gi.
7 Afterward," says the LORD, "I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, even such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life: and he shall strike them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy."'
Bangʼ mano, Jehova Nyasaye wacho, anachiw Zedekia ruodh Juda, jotende kod joma ni e dala maduongʼni ma notony e masira, ligangla kod kech, ne Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon to gi wasikgi madwaro ngimagi. Enoneg-gi gi ligangla; ok enowenegi kata kechogi kata ngʼwononegi.’
8 To this people you shall say, "Thus says the LORD: 'Look, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.
“To bende, med nyiso ji ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Ne, aketo e nyimi yor ngima kod yor tho.
9 He who remains in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he who goes out, and passes over to the Chaldeans who besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be to him for a prey.
Ngʼato angʼata modak e dala maduongʼni noneg gi ligangla, kech kod masira. To ngʼatno mowuok kendo otingʼo bade ne jo-Babulon molworou; notony gi ngimane.
10 For I have set my face on this city for evil, and not for good,' says the LORD: 'it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.'
Aramo mar timo ne dala maduongʼni marach ma ok maber, Jehova Nyasaye owacho. Enochiwe e lwet ruodh Babulon, kendo enotieke gi mach.’
11 Touching the house of the king of Judah, hear the word of the LORD:
“Kuom mano, wachne od joka ruoth mar od Juda ni, ‘Winj wach Jehova Nyasaye;
12 'House of David, thus says the LORD, "Execute justice in the morning, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my wrath go forth like fire, and burn so that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
Yaye od Daudi, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “‘Ngʼad bura makare okinyi ka okinyi; kony ngʼatno ma imayo e lwet joma thire, ka ok kamano to mirimba noolre oko, kendo liel ka mach nikech timbe mamono misetimo nowangʼ, maonge ngʼama nyalo kweye.
13 Look, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley, and of the rock of the plain," says the LORD; "you that say, 'Who shall come down against us? Or who shall enter into our habitations?'
Ok adwari, in Jerusalem, un jogo modak ewi holoni, e got mar mesa motimo lwanda, Jehova Nyasaye owacho; un ma uwacho niya, “En ngʼa manyalo kwedowa? En ngʼa manyalo donjo kar pondowa?”
14 I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings," says the LORD; "and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it shall devour all that is around her."'"
Anakumu moromo gi timbeu, Jehova Nyasaye owacho. Anamok mach e bunge magu manowangʼ gimoro amora machiegni kodu.’”
