Jeremiah 17
1 The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, [and] with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Richo mar Juda ondik gi kalamb chuma; ogor gi gima bith e chunygi, kendo e tunge kende mag misango miwangʼoe liswa.
2 whilst their children remember their altars and their Asherim by the green trees upon the high hills.
Kata mana nyithindgi paro kendegi mag misango miwangʼoe liswa, kod sirni mag Ashera mantie bath yiende motimo otiep, kendo e gode matindo motingʼore gi malo.
3 O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures for a spoil, [and] thy high places, because of sin, throughout all thy borders.
Goda maduongʼ manie piny kod mwanduni gi nyak magi duto anami wasiki, kaachiel gi kuonde magi motingʼore gi malo, nikech richo manie pinyu duto.
4 And thou, even of thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger which shall burn for ever.
Kethou uwegi nomi nomau girkeni mane amiyou. Anami ubed wasumb wasiku e piny ma ok ungʼeyo, nimar usemedo mirimba, kendo enowangʼ nyaka chiengʼ.”
5 Thus saith the LORD: Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Okwongʼ ngʼatno ma genone ni kuom dhano, ngʼatno mogeno kuom ringruok mondo omiye teko, kendo ma chunye aa kuom Jehova Nyasaye.
6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.
Enochal ka bungu manie thim; ok enowinj maber ka ber obiro. Enodag kuonde motwo motimo ongoro, kama otimo chumbi maonge ngʼama odakie.
7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
“To ogwedh ngʼatno moketo geno mare kuom Jehova Nyasaye, kendo oyie kuome.
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out his roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat cometh, but his leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
Enochal gi yien mopidh but pi ma tiende nyaa e tiend aora. Ok obed gi luoro ka liet obiro; ite osiko mana ka ngʼich. Oonge gi parruok e higa mar oro kendo ok owe ma ok onyago olemo.”
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is desperately sick: who can know it?
Chuny en jawuond moloyo gik moko duto kendo ok nyal thiedhe. En ngʼa manyalo ngʼeye?
10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
“An Jehova Nyasaye ema anono chuny kendo apimo paro, mondo achiwne ngʼato kaluwore gi timne, kendo kaluwore gi kaka kite chalo.”
11 As the partridge that gathereth [young] which she hath not brought forth, so is he that getteth riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool.
Kaka winyo ma butno e tongʼ mane ok onywolo, e kaka ngʼatno mayudo mwandu gi yore ma ok kare. Ka nus ngimane oserumo, mwandune noweye, kendo gikone nonere malongʼo ni en ngʼama ofuwo.
12 A glorious throne, [set] on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
Kom duongʼ, motingʼ malo aa chakruok, e kama ler mar lemo marwa.
13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed; they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, geno mar Israel, jogo duto mojwangʼi noyud wichkuot. Jogo molokoni ngʼegi nondik nying-gi e buru nikech gisejwangʼo Jehova Nyasaye, soko mar pi ngima.
14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
Changa, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kendo anachangi; resa kendo anaresra, nimar in kendi ema apaki.
15 Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now.
Gisiko ka giwachona ni, “Ere wach Jehova Nyasaye? Dak otimre sani!”
16 As for me, I have not hastened from being a shepherd after thee; neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was before thy face.
Pok aweyo bedo jakwath mari; ingʼeyo ni pok agombo odiechiengʼ mar thagruok. Gima wuok e dhoga ingʼeyo.
17 Be not a terror unto me: thou art my refuge in the day of evil.
Kik ilokrina masira; in e kar pondana e kinde mar thagruok.
18 Let them be ashamed that persecute me, but let not me be ashamed; let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
Mad jogo masanda ne wichkuot, to an kik wiya kuodi; mad gibed gi bwok maduongʼ to an kik ibwoga. Kel gigi kuomgi e kinde mar masira; kethgi gi kethruok manyadiriyo.
19 Thus said the LORD unto me: Go, and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye nowachona: “Dhi kendo ichungʼ e dhorangach miluongo ni dhoranga ji, kama ruodhi mag Juda donjogo kendo wuok godo oko; chungʼ bende e rangeye duto mag Jerusalem.
20 and say unto them, Hear ye the word of the LORD, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates;
Wachnegi, ‘Winj wach Jehova Nyasaye, yaye ruodhi mag Juda kod jo-Juda duto gi ngʼato angʼata modak e Jerusalem madonjo gie rangeyegi.
21 Thus saith the LORD: Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Bed motangʼ ma kik itingʼ misigo chiengʼ Sabato kata ikele kokalo e rangeye mag Jerusalem.
22 neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work: but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers;
Kik ukel misike koa ei uteu kata timo tich moro chiengʼ Sabato, to rit chiengʼ Sabato maler, mana kaka ne achiko kwereu.
23 But they hearkened not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction.
Kata kamano ne ok gichiko itgi kata winja; tokgi ne tek ta ma ok ginyal winjo wach kata winjo puonj.
24 And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but to hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;
To ka inyalo bedo motangʼ kiluora, Jehova Nyasaye owacho, kendo onge misigo mikadhogo dhoranga dala maduongʼni chiengʼ Sabato, to irito chiengʼ Sabato maler ma ok itimo tich moro chiengʼno,
25 then shall there enter in by the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.
eka ruodhi mabet e kom duongʼ Daudi nobi kakalo e rangeye mag dala maduongʼni gi jotendgi. Gin kod jotelo mag-gi ginibi ka giriembo geche kod farese, ka gin kaachiel gi jo-Juda kod jogo modak e Jerusalem, kendo dala maduongʼni enodage nyaka chiengʼ.
26 And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places round about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowland, and from the mountains, and from the South, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and oblations, and frankincense, and bringing [sacrifices of] thanksgiving, unto the house of the LORD.
Ji nobi koa e dala mag Juda kod mier molworo Jerusalem, koae gwengʼ Benjamin gi tiend gode matindo ma yo podho chiengʼ, koa e piny manie gode matindo kod Negev, ka gikelo misango miwangʼo pep kod misengini mamoko, chiwo mag cham, ubani gi chiwo mag goyo erokamano e od Jehova Nyasaye.
27 But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
To ka ok umiya luor mondo urit Sabato maler ma ok utingʼo misigo ka udonjo e rangeye Jerusalem chiengʼ Sabato, to anamok mach ma ok tho e rangeye mag Jerusalem manowangʼ kuondegi mochiel motegno.’”
