Jeremiah 18
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
Ma e wach mane obirone Jeremia koa ir Jehova Nyasaye:
2 "Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause you to hear my words."
“Dhiyo e od Jachwe agulni, kendo kanyo anamiyie otena.”
3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and look, he was making a work on the wheels.
Omiyo ne adhi e od jachwe agulni, kendo ne ayude kar chwecho.
4 When the vessel that he made of the clay was marred in the hand of the potter, he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
To agulu mane ichweyo gi lowo nokethore e lwete; omiyo jachwechno nochweye agulu machielo, kochweye maber kaka ne odwaro.
5 Then the word of YHWH came to me, saying,
Bangʼe wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona:
6 "'House of Israel, can't I do with you as this potter?' says YHWH. 'Look, as the clay in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand, house of Israel.'
Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “Yaye od Israel, donge anyalo timonu kaka jachwe agulni timo? Kaka lowo manie lwet jachwe agulni, e kaka un bende e lweta, yaye od Israel.
7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy it;
Kapo ni sa moro amora alando ni piny kata pinyruodhi opudh oko, kata kethgi matiekgi,
8 if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turn from their evil, I will change my mind about the disaster that I thought to do to them.
kendo ka ogandano mane asiemo olokore oweyo timbegi maricho, eka analok pacha mi ok anakelnegi masira mane asechano.
9 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
Kendo ka kinde machielo alando ni piny kata pinyruoth onego ger kendo gur motegno,
10 if they do that which is evil in my sight, that they not obey my voice, then I will repent of the good, with which I said I would benefit them.
to kotimo tim marach e nyima kendo ok oluora, to anapar kendo kuom ber mane asechano mar timone.
11 Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, 'Thus says YHWH: Look, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return now everyone from his evil way, and amend your ways and your doings.'
“Emomiyo koro wachne jo-Juda kod jogo modak Jerusalem, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Neuru! Aiko masira nikech un kendo achano chenro marach nikech un. Omiyo weuru yoreu maricho, ngʼato ka ngʼato, kendo ulok yoreu gi timbeu.’
12 But they say, 'It is in vain; for we will walk after our own devices, and we will do everyone after the stubbornness of his evil heart.'"
To gini dwoke ni, ‘Onge tiende. Wanadhi nyime gi chenro magwa wawegi; ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomwa noluw mana timbe mamono mar chunye marach.’”
13 Therefore thus says YHWH: "Ask now among the nations, who has heard such things; the virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing.
Emomiyo ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Penjieuru ogendini: En ngʼa mosewinjo gima chalo kama? Gima lich mokadho osetim gi Nyako Ngili ma en Israel.
14 Shall the snow of Lebanon fail from the rock of the field? Shall the cold waters that flow down from afar be dried up?
Bende pe mag Lebanon rumo ngangʼ koa kuondege maridore motimo lwendni? Bende pige mangʼich mokwe mamol, koa kuonde maboyo dwono?
15 For my people have forgotten me, they have burned incense to false gods; and they have been made to stumble in their ways, in the ancient paths, to walk in byways, in a way not built up;
To joga wigi osewil koda, giwangʼo ubani ne nyiseche mopa manono, manomiyo gichwanyore e yoregi kendo e yore matindo machon. Giseketogi gi wuotho e yore matindo mogondore, kendo e yore ma ok opa.
16 to make their land an astonishment, and a perpetual hissing; everyone who passes thereby shall be astonished, and shake his head.
Pinygi nodongʼ gunda, mi enobedi gima inyiero manyaka chiengʼ; jogo duto makalo bute nobwogi kendo gini kin wigi.
17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity."
Kaka yamo ma aa yo wuok chiengʼ, anakegi e nyim wasikgi; ananyisgi ngʼeya to ok wangʼa e kinde mar masichegi.”
18 Then they said, "Come, and let us make plans against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us strike him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words."
Negiwacho, “Biuru, wangʼad rieko mar hinyo Jeremia; nimar puonj mar chik mikelo gi jadolo ok nolal, kata ngʼado rieko moa kuom joma riek, kata weche moa ir jonabi. Omiyo biuru, wahangne wach kendo kik wachik itwa ne gimoro amora mowacho.”
19 "Give heed to me, YHWH, and listen to the voice of those who contend with me.
Winja, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; winj gima joma donjona wacho!
20 Shall evil be recompensed for good? For they have dug a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before you to speak good for them, to turn away your wrath from them.
Bende ber inyalo chul gi tim marach? To kata kamano gisekunyona bugo. Par nine achungʼ e nyimi kendo awuoyo ka akwayonegi, mondo kik iol mirimbi kuomgi.
21 Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and give them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives become childless, and widows; and let their men be slain of death, and their young men struck of the sword in battle.
Omiyo we nyithindgi kech oka; bolgi e teko mar ligangla. We mondegi obed maonge nyithindo kendo mon ma chwogi otho; mad chwogi negi, rowere mag-gi negi gi ligangla e kedo.
22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, when you shall bring a troop suddenly on them; for they have dug a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.
Mad ywak winji koa e utegi ka ikelo joma dwaro monjogi apoya nono, nimar gisekunyona bugo mondo gimaka kendo giseketo obadho mondo gimak godo tienda.
23 Yet, YHWH, you know all their counsel against me to kill me; do not forgive their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from your sight; but let them be overthrown before you; deal you with them in the time of your anger."
To in ingʼeyo, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, chenrogi duto mar nega. Kik ingʼwon-negi kuom timbegi mag jendeke, kata rucho richo mag-gi e nyim wangʼi. Mad logi e nyimi; kendo kumgi e kinde mag mirimbi.
