< Jeremiah 48 >

1 Of Moab, —Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, —Alas for Nebo, for it is laid waste, put to shame—captured, is Kiriathaim, put to shame is Misgab, and dismayed.
To kuom Moab: Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel wacho: “Mano kaka nobed malit ne Nebo, nimar enokethe. Kiriathaim nokuod wiye kendo enomake; kar pondogi nobed kama inyiero kendo nomuke.
2 No more, is the praise of Moab, In Heshbon, have they devised against her, calamity, Come, and let us cut her off from being a nation, —Even thou, Madmen also, shalt be silenced, After thee, shall march the sword.
Pak mar Moab ok nobedi kendo; ji nochan kethruokne ei Heshbon kagiwacho kama: ‘Biuru, watiek pinyni.’ Yaye joma odak Madmen, un bende ligangla nolawu mulingʼ thii.
3 A voice of outcry, from Horonaim, —Wasting and great destruction!
Winj ywak moa Horonaim, ywak mar duwruok maduongʼ gi kethruok.
4 Moab is broken: Her little ones, have caused to be heard an outcry.
Moab nokethi; nyithinde matindo noywagre.
5 For the ascent of Luhith, with weeping, one ascendeth—with weeping, —For in the descent of Horonaim, the distress of the outcry of destruction, have they heard:
Giidho ka giluwo yo madhi Luhith, gi ywak malit ka gidhi; e yo maridore kadhi Horonaim kendo ywak malit mar kethruok winjore.
6 Flee deliver your own lives, —Then shall the women be as a shrub in the desert.
Ringuru! Ringuru ukony ngimau; muchal gi bungu manie thim!
7 For seeing thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, Thou too, shalt be captured, —Then shall Chemosh go forth into captivity, His priests and his princes together.
Nikech ugeno kuom timbeu kod mwandu mau, un bende nomaku, kendo Kemosh noter e twech, kanyakla gi jodolo mage kod jotelo mage.
8 And the spoiler shall enter into every city, And not, a city, shall escape, Then shall perish the vale Then be destroyed the table-land, —As Yahweh hath said.
Jaketh gik moko nobi e dala ka dala kendo onge dala ma notony. Holo noum kendo got mar mesa nomuki, nikech Jehova Nyasaye osewacho.
9 Give wing to Moab, For she must, fly away; And her cities To desolation, shall be turned, With no inhabitant therein.
Ket chumbi kuom Moab, nimar enotieke; miechgi nodongʼ gunda, maonge ngʼama nodagi eigi.
10 Accursed be he that doeth the business of Yahweh carelessly; And, accursed be he that withholdeth his sword, from blood!
“Okwongʼ ngʼat mayom yom e tich Jehova Nyasaye! Okwongʼ ngʼat ma okano liganglane ma ok ochwerogo remo!
11 Moab, hath been at ease from his youth, And settled is he upon his lees, And hath not been poured out from vessel to vessel, Nor into captivity, hath gone, —For this cause, hath his flavour stood still within him, And his scent is unchanged.
“Moab oseyweyo chakre tin-ne, ka divai mowe mos e aguche, ma ok ool koa ei agulu achiel kiloko machielo kendo pod ok odhi e twech. Omiyo ndhathe pod nikare, kendo tik mare ok olokore.”
12 Therefore, lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, When I will send to him tilters and they shall tilt him, —And his vessels, shall they empty, And their jars, shall they dash in pieces.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Kinde biro, ma anaor ji manopuke oko, kendo gini ole oko; giniwe agulni mage nono kendo toyo agulni mage.
13 Then shall Moab, be ashamed, of, Chemosh, —Just as, the sons of Israel, were ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
Eka Moab wiye nokuodi gi Kemosh, mana kaka od Israel wiye nokuot, kane gin-gi geno kuom Bethel.
14 How can ye say, Heroes, are we? and Men of might for the war?
“Ere kaka inyalo wacho ni, ‘Wan jokedo, ji mathuondi maroteke e lweny’?”
15 Spoiled is Moab And her cities, hath he ascended, And the choice of his young men, have gone down to the slaughter, —Declareth The King, Yahweh of hosts, is his Name.
Ruoth, ma nyinge Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, “Moab nokethi kendo mier mage nomonji; yawuote mabeyo noter e kar nek.
16 Near is the doom of Moab, to come, —And, his calamity, hasteth greatly.
Podho mar Moab osechopone; masichene nobi mapiyo.
17 Lament ye for him—All that are round about him, and All that know his name, —Say, How is broken—The staff of strength! The rod of beauty!
Ywageuru, un jogo duto modak machiegni kode, un jogo duto mongʼeyo humbe; wachuru ni, ‘Mano kaka otur odunga mar loch maratego, mano kaka otur ludh duongʼ!’
18 Come down from glory, and sit in thirst, O inhabitress daughter of Dibon; For the spoiler of Moab, hath come up against thee, He hath laid in ruins thy strongholds.
“Auru malo e duongʼu ulor piny kendo ubedi e lowo motwo, yaye jodak mar Nyar Dibon, nimar ngʼama oketho Moab nobi mondo oked kodu, kendo otiek miechu madongo mochiel motegno gohinga.
19 Near the way, take thy stand and keep outlook, O inhabitress of Aroer: Ask—him that fleeth, and Her that hath escaped, Say, What hath happened?
Chunguru e bath yo kendo ungʼi, un joma odak Aroer. Penj dichwo maringo kod dhako maringo, ni, Angʼo mosetimore?
20 Confounded is Moab! For it is broken down! Howl and make outcry, —Tell ye in Arnon, That Moab is spoiled;
Okuod wi Moab, nimar ongʼinje matindo tindo. Dengi kendo iywag matek! Land e Arnon ni Moab okethi.
21 And, judgment, hath come Upon the country of the table-land, —Upon Holon, and Upon Jazer and Upon Mephaath;
Ngʼado bura osebiro e got mar mesa kuom Holon, Jaza kod Mefath,
22 and Upon Dibon, and Upon Nebo, and Upon Beth-diblathaim;
kuom Dibon, Nebo kod Beth Diblathaim,
23 and Upon Kiriathaim, and Upon Beth-gamul, and Upon Beth-meon;
kuom Kiriathaim, Beth Gamul kod Beth Mion,
24 and Upon Kerioth, and Upon Bozrah, —Yea, upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near.
kuom Kerioth gi Bozra, kuom mier duto mag Moab, man mabor kod mago man machiegni.
25 Cut off is the horn of Moab, Yea, his arm, is broken, —Declareth Yahweh.
Tung Moab ongʼad oko; bade otur,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.
26 Make ye him drunken, Because against Yahweh, hath he magnified himself; So shall, Moab, stagger, into his own vomit, And shall become a derision, even he!
“Kete omer, nimar osetamore winjo Jehova Nyasaye. We Moab odwanyre e ngʼokne; we obed gima ijaro.
27 And was it not, a derision, that Israel became to thee? And was it not among thieves, he was found? For, as often as thou didst speak of him, thou didst wag the head!
Donge Israel ema ne ijaro? Bende nomake e dier jokwoge, ma itengʼone wiyi gi achaya sa moro amora miwuoyo kuome?
28 Leave ye the cities and dwell in the cliff, Ye inhabitants of Moab; And become ye as a dove, that maketh her nest in the further-side of the fissure’s mouth.
Jwangʼuru miechu kendo udagi e kind lwendni, un joma odak Moab. Chaluru ka akuch odugla maloso ode e dho rogo.
29 We have heard the arrogance of Moab—proud exceedingly: His loftiness and his arrogance and his majesty, and his elevation of heart!
“Wasewinjo sunga mar Moab, sungane mokadhore gi miriambo, sunga mare gi jendeke mare kod ngʼayi mar chunye.”
30 I know—Declareth Yahweh His passion—that’tis Unjust! His boastings, that Untrue have they made [them]!
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Angʼeyo mirimbe to oonge tiende, kendo ngʼayi mage ok nyal gimoro.
31 For this cause over Moab, will I howl, And for all Moab, will I make outcry, —For the men of Kir-heres, must one moan!
Emomiyo aywak kadengo kuom Moab, nimar kuom Moab duto aywak, aywago jo-Kir Hareseth.
32 Beyond the weeping of Jazer, will I weep for thee O vine of Sibmah, Thy tendrils, have gone over the sea, Unto the sea of Jazer, have they reached, Upon thy summer fruits And upon thy vintage, the spoiler, hath fallen.
Aywagou, kaka Jazer ywak, yaye mzabibu mag Sibma. Bedeni kar machopo e nam; negichopo nyaka e nam mar Jazer. Jaketh gik moko osepodho e olembegi mochiek kod olemo mar mzabibu.
33 So shall be withdrawn gladness and exultation—From the fruitful field and From the land of Moab, —And wine from the vats, have I caused to fail, They shall not tread with shouting, The shouting shall be no shouting!
Ilo gi mor orumo e puoth olembe kod puothe mag Moab. Asechungo chwer mar divai koa e kuonde mibiyogie; onge ngʼama nyonogi gi koko mar ilo. Kata obedo ni nitiere koko, ok gin koko mar ilo.
34 From the outcry of Heshbon, Even unto Elealeh Even unto Jahaz, have they given forth their voice, From Zoar even unto Horonaim, the third Eglath, —For, even the waters of Nimrim, to utter desolation, have been turned:
“Dwond ywak mag-gi winjore koa Heshbon nyaka Eleale gi Jahaz, koa Zoar nyaka chop Horonaim gi Eglath Shelishiya, nimar kata pige mag Nimrim bende osetwo.
35 Then will I cause to cease, from Moab, Declareth Yahweh, —him that offereth at a high-place, and him that burneth incense to his gods.
E Moab anatiek jogo matimo misengini e kuonde motingʼore gi malo, kendo ma wangʼo ubani ne nyisechegi,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.
36 For this cause, my heart, for Moab, like flutes, shall make plaintive sounds, Yea my heart for the men of Kir-heres! like flutes, shall make plaintive sounds, Because, the abundance he hath gotten is lost!
“Omiyo chunya ywagorene Moab ka asili; oywagore ka asili ne jo-Kir Hareseth. Mwandu mane giyudo oserumo.
37 For, every head, is baldness, And every beard, clipped: Upon all hands, are gashes, And upon the loins, sackcloth
Wich ka wich oliel kendo yie tik ka yie tik ongʼad oko; lwedo ka lwedo otongʼ oko kendo nungo ka nungo oum gi law ywak.
38 Upon all the housetops of Moab And in her broadways, it is all lamentation, —For I have broken Moab—Like a vessel wherein is no pleasure Declareth Yahweh.
Ewi tat udi duto man Moab kendo e laru mar galamoro onge gimoro makmana ywak, nimar aseketho Moab ka agulu motore maonge ngʼama dwaro,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.
39 How it is broken down! They have howled, How hath Moab turned the back, for shame, —So shall Moab become a derision and a terror to all round about him.
“Mano kaka otieke! Mano kaka gidengo! Mano kaka Moab loko ngʼeye kopondo nikech wichkuot! Moab osebedo gir ajara, gima bwogo ji duto man bute.”
40 For, thus, saith Yahweh, Lo! as an eagle, shall one dart along, —And shall spread out his wings towards Moab.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Ne! Otenga fuyo kochiko piny, oyaro bwombene ewi Moab.
41 Captured is Kerioth, And the fortresses, are seized, —Then shall the heart of the heroes of Moab become in that day, As the heart of a woman in her pains.
Kerioth nomaki kendo kuondegi mag pondo nokaw. E odiechiengno chunje mag jolwenj Moab nochal gi chuny dhako mamuoch kayo.
42 Then shall, Moab, be destroyed from being a people, —Because against Yahweh, hath he magnified himself.
Moab notieki kaka oganda nikech ne otamore winjo Jehova Nyasaye.
43 Terror and pit and snare are upon thee O inhabitant of Moab Declareth Yahweh:
Masira maduongʼ gi bur matut kod otegu ritou, yaye jo-Moab,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.
44 He that fleeth from the face of the terror, Shall fall into the pit, And, he that getteth up out of the pit, Shall be captured by the snare, —For I will bring against her—against Moab, The year of their visitation, Declareth Yahweh.
“Ngʼatno manotem tony nikech masira nolwar e bur matut, ngʼatno manotem kawuok ei bur matut, nomak gi obadho; nimar anakel magi kuom Moab e higa mar kum,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.
45 In the shadow of Heshbon, stand strengthless, the fugitives, —For, a fire, hath gone forth out of Heshbon And shall flame out of the midst of Sihon, And shall devour the beard of Moab, And the crown of the head of the proudly tumultuous.
“E tipo mar Heshbon joma noringo odongʼ ka ok nyal, nimar mach osemoko liel Heshbon kendo ligek mach osewuok e dier Sihon; owangʼo lela wangʼ Moab, kod choke wich mag jongʼayigo!
46 Woe to thee Moab! Lost are the people of Chemosh, —For thy sons have been taken, into captivity, And thy daughters into captivity.
Mano kaka inine malit, yaye Moab! Jo-Kemosh otieki; yawuoti oter e twech, kendo nyigi oket wasumbini.
47 Yet will I bring back the captivity of Moab, In the afterpart of the days, Declareth Yahweh, Thus far, is the sentence of Moab.
“Kata kamano anaduog gweth mag Moab e ndalo mabiro,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho. Ma e giko mar ngʼadone Moab bura.
