< Jeremiah 44 >

1 The word which came to Jeremiah, against all the Jews who were dwelling in the land of Egypt, —who were dwelling in Migdol and in Tahpanhes, and in Noph, and in the land of Pathros saying:
Wachni nobiro ne Jeremia kuom jo-Yahudi modak Misri Mamwalo man Migdol, Tapanhes gi Memfis kod Misri Mamalo:
2 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Ye yourselves, saw all the calamity which I brought in upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah, —and there they are, a desolation this day, and there is not in them an inhabitant:
“Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: Ne ineno masira malich mane akelo kuom Jerusalem kod kuom dala duto mag Juda. Kawuono gidongʼ gunda kendo okethgi,
3 because of their wickedness which they committed, provoking me to anger, by going to burn incense, to serve other gods, whom they had not known, they, ye nor your fathers;
nikech timbe maricho magisetimo. Negimiya mirima ma iya owangʼ kuom wangʼo ubani kendo lamo nyiseche manono ma gin kata un kata wuoneu ne ok ongʼeyo.
4 yet I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, betimes sending them, saying, Do not, I pray you, commit this abominable thing, which I hate!
Ne asiko ka aoro jotichna ma jonabi, mane giwacho ni, ‘Kik utim gima mononi ma ok ahero!’
5 but they hearkened not neither inclined their ear, by turning from their wickedness, —so as not to burn incense to other gods.
To ne ok gichiko itgi kata winja; ne ok gilokore gia e timbegi mamono kata weyo wangʼo ubani ne nyiseche manono.
6 Therefore were mine indignation and mine anger poured out, and a fire was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, —and they became waste and desolate, as at this day.
Emomiyo, mirimba mager nool oko; mine olandore kobebni e dala mag Juda kod yore mag Jerusalem kendo moketogi gibed gundini mokethore kaka gin kawuono.
7 Now, therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh God of hosts God of Israel—Wherefore, are ye committing a great wickedness against your own lives, that ye should cut off from you man and woman child and suckling, out of the midst of Judah, —so that there should not be left you a remnant:
“Koro ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: Angʼo momiyo ukelo masira malich kuomu ka uweyo chwo gi mon, rawere gi nyithindo mayom, makoro onge joma otony koa kuom jo-Juda?
8 in that ye provoke me to anger by the works of your own hands, burning incense to other gods, in the land of Egypt, which ye have been entering to sojourn, —that ye should cut them off from you, and that ye should become a contempt and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
Angʼo momiyo uwangʼo iya gi gik ma lwetu oloso, uwangʼo ubani ne nyiseche manono ei Misri, kama osebiroe mondo udagie? Unutiekru kendu uwegi ka uloso ne un uwegi gigo mag kwongʼ gi ajara e dier ogendini duto manie piny.
9 Have ye forgotten the wicked ways of your fathers and the wicked ways of the kings of Judah, and the wicked ways of his wives, and your own wicked ways, and the wicked ways of your own wives, —which they committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Dibed ni wiu osewil gi timbe maricho mane wuoneu otimo kod mago mane otim gi ruodhi kaachiel gi monde ruodhi mag Juda to gi richo mane utimo kaachiel gi mondeu e piny Juda kod e yore mag Jerusalem?
10 They have not been crushed, unto this day; neither have they been afraid, neither have they walked in my law, and in my statutes, which I set before you and before your fathers,
Nyaka chil kawuono pod ok gibolore kata chiwo luor, bende pod ok girito chikena gi buchena mane amiyou kaachiel gi wuoneu.
11 Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, Behold me! setting my face against you for calamity, —even to cut off all Judah;
“Emomiyo, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: Aramo chuth ni nyaka akel masira kuomu kendo atiek Juda duto.
12 and I will take the remnant of Judah who did set their faces to enter the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, in the land of Egypt, shall they fall by the sword, by famine, shall they be consumed, from the least even unto the greatest, by sword and by famine, shall they die, —so shall they become a curse, and an astonishment, and a contempt and a reproach;
Anakaw jo-Juda modongʼ mane oramo ni nyaka dhi Misri mondo gidak kanyo. Giduto ginirum Misri; noneg-gi gi ligangla kata ginitho nikech kech. Kochakore ngʼat matin nyaka ngʼat maduongʼ, noneg-gi gi ligangla kata gi kech. Ginibed gir kwongʼ kod bwok, joma ongʼadnegi bura kendo mijaro.
13 and I will bring punishment upon them who are dwelling in the land of Egypt, just as I brought punishment upon Jerusalem, —by sword, by famine and by pestilence;
Anakum joma odak Misri gi ligangla, kech kod masira, mana kaka nakumo Jerusalem.
14 and there shall be neither escape nor survival, unto the remnant of Judah who have been entering, to sojourn there into the land of Egypt, —that they should return to the land of Judah even when they are lifting up their soul to return to dwell there, for none shall return, saving fugitives.
Onge jo-Juda mane odongʼ mane odhi dak Misri ma notony kata kwo ma ok odwogo e piny Juda, ma gigombo duogoe kendo dakie; onge manoduogi makmana ji moko manok manoringo lweny.”
15 Then all the men who knew that their wives were burning incense to other gods, and all the women standing by, a great convocation, —with all the people who were dwelling in the land of Egypt in Pathros, made answer unto Jeremiah, saying:
Eka chwo duto mane ongʼeyo ni mondegi wangʼo ubani ne nyiseche manono, kaachiel gi mon duto mane ni kanyo, ne gin oganda mangʼeny, kod ji duto manodak e piny Misri Mamwalo kod Mamalo, nowachone Jeremia niya,
16 As touching the word which thou hast spoken unto us, in the name of Yahweh we are not going to hearken unto thee;
“Ok wanawinj wach miwachonwa e nying Jehova Nyasaye!
17 but, we will certainly do, the whole thing that hath gone forth out of our own mouth, by burning incense to the queen of the heavens, and pouring out to her drink-offerings, just as we and our fathers, and our kings and our princes, did, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, then were we filled with bread and became prosperous, and calamity, saw we none;
Adier wanatim gik moko duto mane wawacho ni wanatim: Wanawangʼ ubani ne Ruoth ma Dhako mar Polo kendo wanamiye misango miolo piny mana kaka wan kod wuonewa, ruodhiwa kod jotendwa notimo e dala mag Juda kod yore mag Jerusalem. E kindeno ne wan gi chiemo mathoth kendo ne wamewo kendo ne onge hinyruok moro amora kuomwa.
18 whereas, from the very time we ceased burning incense to the queen of the heavens and pouring out to her drink-offerings, we have lacked everything, —and by sword and by famine, have we been consumed.
To nyaka aa kinde mane waweyo wangʼo ubani ne Ruoth ma Dhako mar Polo kendo chiwone misango miolo piny, wasebedo maonge gimoro amora kendo ligangla gi kech osenegowa.”
19 And, though we are burning incense to the queen of the heavens and pouring out to her drink-offerings, is it, without our men that we have made to her sacrificial cakes as images of her and poured out to her, drink-offerings?
Mon-go nomedo wacho niya, “Kane wawangʼo ubani ne Ruoth ma Dhako mar Polo kendo chiwone misango miolo piny, donge chwowa nongʼeyo nine waloso kek machalo gi kite kendo wachiwone misango miolo piny?”
20 Then spake Jeremiah unto all the people, —against the men and against the women, and against all the people who had been making any answer unto him, saying:
Eka Jeremia nowachone ji duto, chwo kaachiel gi mon, mane dwoke niya,
21 Was it not, the very incense which ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye and your fathers your kings and your princes and the people of the land, was it not those very things, that Yahweh did remember, and that came up on his heart;
“Uparo ni Jehova Nyasaye ne ok ongʼeyo wach misengini ma un gi kwereu, kod ruodhiu gi jotendu kaachiel gi jopinyu duto ne otimo e miech Juda kendo e yore mag Jerusalem? Koso uparo ni wiye osewil kodgi.
22 so that Yahweh could no longer forbear because of the wickedness of your doings, because of the abominations which ye committed, —and your land became a desolation, and an astonishment, and a contempt without inhabitant—as at this day?
Ka Jehova Nyasaye ne ok nyal dhi nyime gineno timbeu mamono kod gigo magath mane utimo, pinyu nokwongʼ kendo odongʼ gunda maonge gima odakie, mana kaka en kawuono.
23 Because that ye burned incense, and that ye sinned against Yahweh and hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh, and, in his law and in his statutes and in his testimonies, did not walk, for this cause, did this calamity befall you—as at this day.
Nikech usewangʼo ubani kendo usetimo richo ne Jehova Nyasaye kendo pod ok uluore kata luwo chikene kata puonj mage kod dwaro mage, masirani osebiro kuomu, mana kaka unene sani.”
24 And Jeremiah said unto all the people, and unto all the women, —Hear ye the word of Yahweh, all Judah, who are in the land of Egypt, —
Eka Jeremia nowachone ji duto, kaachiel gi mon, “Winjuru wach Jehova Nyasaye, un jo-Juda duto modak Misri.
25 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, saying, Ye and your wives, have both spoken with your mouth and with your hands, have ye fulfilled saying, We will, certainly perform, our vows which we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out to her drink-offerings: the women will certainly confirm, your vows, and, certainly perform, your vows.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: Un gi mondu usenyiso gi timbeu gik mane usingoru ka uwacho ni, ‘Nyaka wachop singruok mane waketo mar wangʼo ubani kendo chiwo misango miolo piny ne Ruoth ma Dhako mar Polo.’ “Dhiuru nyime, kendo utim gima ne usingo! Rituru singruoku!
26 Therefore, hear ye the word of Yahweh, all Judah, who are dwelling in the land of Egypt, —Behold me! I have sworn by my great Name, Saith Yahweh, That my Name shall no more be invoked by the mouth of any man of Judah saying—By the life of My Lord, Yahweh in all the land of Egypt.
To winj wach Jehova Nyasaye, un jo-Yahudi duto modak Misri: ‘Akwongʼora gi nyinga maduongʼ,’ Jehova Nyasaye owacho, ‘ni onge ngʼato angʼata moa Juda modak Misri manochak oluong nyinga kata kwongʼore niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto.”
27 Behold me! watching over them for calamity, and not for blessing, —so shall all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt, be consumed, by sword and by famine until there be an end of them.
Angʼiyo kaka dakelnegi hinyruok, to ok kelonegi ber; nimar un jo-Yahudi man Misri nonegu gi ligangla kod kech nyaka tieku pep.
28 Yet, the fugitives of the sword, shall certainly return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah men easily counted, —that all the remnant of Judah who are entering Egypt to sojourn there, may know, whose word, shall stand, mine or theirs!
Jogo mane otonyne ligangla kendo odwogo e piny Juda koa Misri nobed manok. Eka jo-Juda duto mane odongʼ mane obiro dak Misri nongʼe ni en wach ngʼa matiyo, mara koso margi.
29 And, this, to you, shall be the sign, Declareth Yahweh, that I am about to bring punishment upon you in this place, —that ye may know that my words shall, certainly stand against you, for calamity:
“‘Ma ema nobednu ranyisi ni anakumu kaeni, mondo omi ungʼe ni gima asechano timonu notimre.’
30 Thus, saith Yahweh, Behold me! delivering up Pharaoh-hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, yea into the hand of them who are seeking his life, —just as I delivered Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon his enemy, and one seeking his life.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: ‘Anachiw Farao Hofra ruodh Misri ne wasike madwaro ngimane, mana kaka ne achiwo Zedekia ruodh Juda ne Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon jasike mane dwaro ngimane.’”
