Jeremiah 38
1 And he heard Shephatiah [the] son of Mattan and Gedaliah [the] son of Pashhur and Jucal [the] son of Shelemiah and Pashhur [the] son of Malkijah the words which Jeremiah [was] speaking to all the people saying.
Shefatia wuod Matan, Gedalia wuod Pashur, Jehukal wuod Shelemia, kod Pashur wuod Malkija nowinjo gima Jeremia ne nyiso ji duto sa mane owacho ni,
2 Thus he says Yahweh the [one who] remains in the city this he will die by the sword by famine and by pestilence and the [one who] goes out to the Chaldeans (and he will live *Q(K)*) and it will belong to him life his to plunder and he will live.
“Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: ‘Ngʼato angʼata modak e dala maduongʼni noneg gi ligangla, kech kata masira, to ngʼato angʼata manodhi ir jo-Babulon nobed mangima. Notony gi ngimane; mi nobed mangima.’
3 Thus he says Yahweh certainly it will be given the city this in [the] hand of [the] army of [the] king of Babylon and he will capture it.
Kendo ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: ‘Dala maduongʼni nyaka chiwne jolweny mar ruodh Babulon ma nokawe.’”
4 And they said the officials to the king let him be put to death please the man this for since he [is] making drop [the] hands of [the] men of war who remain - in the city this and [the] hands of all the people by speaking to them according to the words these that - the man this not he [is] seeking for welfare for the people this that except for harm.
Eka jotelo nowachone ruoth niya, “Ngʼatni onego negi. Onyoso chuny jolweny modongʼ e dala maduongʼ ni, kaachiel gi ji duto, gi gigo mowachonegi. Ngʼatni ok dwar dhi maber mar jogi to mana kethruokgi.”
5 And he said the king Zedekiah there! he [is] in hand your for not the king he is able you anything.
Ruoth Zedekia nowacho niya, “En e lwetu. Onge gima ruoth nyalo timo mondo okwed wachu.”
6 And they took Jeremiah and they threw him into the cistern of - Malkijah [the] son of the king which [was] in [the] courtyard of the guard and they let down Jeremiah with ropes and in the cistern there not [was] water that except mud and he sank Jeremiah in the mud.
Omiyo negikawo Jeremia ma giketo e bur mar Malkija, wuod ruoth, mane nitiere e laru mar jarito. Ne giloro Jeremia gi tonde ei burno; ne onge pi e iye, chwodho ema ne nitie, kendo Jeremia nonimo ei chwodho.
7 And he heard Ebed Melech the Cushite a man a court-official and he [was] in [the] house of the king that they had put Jeremiah into the cistern and the king [was] sitting in [the] gate of Benjamin.
To Ebed-Melek, ja-Kush, ma jatelo e kar dak ruoth, nowinjo nine giseketo Jeremia ei bur. Ka ruoth ne obet e Dhoranga Benjamin,
8 And he went out Ebed Melech from [the] house of the king and he spoke to the king saying.
Ebed-Melek nowuok oa e kar dak ruoth kendo owachone ni,
9 O lord my the king they have done evil the men these all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet whom they have thrown into the cistern and he died in it because of famine for there not [is] the food yet in the city.
“Jaduongʼ ma ruodha, jogi osetimo gima mono kuom gigo duto magisetimone janabi Jeremia. Giwite e bur, kama kech biro nege motho ka makati duto orumo e dala maduongʼ.”
10 And he commanded the king Ebed Melech the Cushite saying take in hand your from here thirty men and you will bring up Jeremiah the prophet from the cistern before he will die.
Eka ruoth nomiyo Ebed-Melek ja-Kush chik, “Kaw chwo piero adek koa kae kendo ugol janabi Jeremia e bur kapok otho.”
11 And he took - Ebed Melech the men in hand his and he went [the] house of the king to under the storehouse and he took from there worn out things of (clothes *Q(K)*) and worn out things of rags and he let down them to Jeremiah into the cistern with ropes.
Omiyo Ebed-Melek nokawo jogo kendo odhigo e agola manie bwo kar keno mar dala ruoth. Ne okawo lewni moyiech kod lewni moti kanyo kendo nolorogi piny gi tol ne Jeremia ei bur.
12 And he said Ebed Melech the Cushite to Jeremiah put please [the] worn out things of the clothes and the rags under [the] joints of hands your from under to [the] ropes and he did Jeremiah thus.
Ebed-Melek ja-Kush nowacho ne Jeremia niya, “Ket lewni mokengoregi kod lewni moti e yuothi mondo kik tol ridhi.” Jeremia notimo kamano,
13 And they drew out Jeremiah with ropes and they brought up him from the cistern and he remained Jeremiah in [the] courtyard of the guard.
mine giywaye gi tol ma gigole oko mar bur. Kendo Jeremia nodongʼ e laru mar jarito.
14 And he sent the king Zedekiah and he brought Jeremiah the prophet to him to an entrance third which [was] in [the] house of Yahweh and he said the king to Jeremiah [am] about to ask I you a matter may not you hide from me anything.
Eka Ruoth Zedekia nooro wach mondo okelne janabi Jeremia kendo nokelnego e kar donjo mar adek mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye. Ruoth nowachone niya, “Adhi penji gimoro. Kik ipanda wach.”
15 And he said Jeremiah to Zedekiah if I will tell to you ¿ not certainly will you put to death me and if I will counsel you not you will listen to me.
Jeremia nowachone Zedekia niya, “Ka adwoki, donge ibiro nega? Kata ka anangʼadni rieko, bende iniwinja.”
16 And he swore the king Zedekiah to Jeremiah in secrecy saying [by] [the] life of Yahweh (*Q(K)*) who he has made for us the life this if I will put to death you and if I will give you in [the] hand of the men these who [are] seeking life your.
To Ruoth Zedekia nokwongʼore gi kwongʼruokni lingʼ-lingʼ ne Jeremia: “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima, mosemiyowa muya, ok ananegi kata chiwi ne jogo madwaro ngimani.”
17 And he said Jeremiah to Zedekiah thus he says Yahweh [the] God of hosts [the] God of Israel certainly [if] you will go out to [the] commanders of [the] king of Babylon and you will live self your and the city this not it will be burned with fire and you will live you and household your.
Eka Jeremia nowachone Zedekia niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: ‘Ka ichiwori ne jotelo mag ruodh Babulon, ngimani noweni kendo dala maduongʼni ok nowangʼ, in kod joodi unubed mangima.
18 And if not you will go out to [the] commanders of [the] king of Babylon and it will be given the city this in [the] hand of the Chaldeans and they will burn it with fire and you not you will escape from hand their.
To ka ok ichiwori ne jotend ruodh Babulon, dala maduongʼni nomi jo-Babulon kendo giniwangʼe; un uwegi ok unutony e lwetgi.’”
19 And he said the king Zedekiah to Jeremiah I [am] dreading the Jews who they have fallen to the Chaldeans lest they should give me in hand their and they will deal wantonly with me.
Ruoth Zedekia nowachone Jeremia niya, “Aluoro jo-Yahudi mosedhi ir jo-Babulon, nimar jo-Babulon nyalo chiwa e lwetgi mi gisanda.”
20 And he said Jeremiah not they will give listen please - to [the] voice of Yahweh to [that] which I [am] speaking to you so it may go well for you so it may live self your.
Jeremia nodwoke niya, “Ok ginichiwi.” Luor Jehova Nyasaye kitimo gima anyisi. Eka inine maber, kendo ngimani noweni.
21 And if [are] refusing you to go out this [is] the thing which he has shown me Yahweh.
To ka itamori chiwori, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye osefwenyona:
22 And there! all the women who they are left in [the] house of [the] king of Judah [are] about to be brought out to [the] commanders of [the] king of Babylon and they [will be] saying they misled you and they prevailed to you [the] people of peace your they are sunk in the mire feet your they have turned backwards.
Mon duto mane odongʼ kar dak mar ruodh Juda nokelne jotelo mar ruodh Babulon. Mon-go nowachni ni: Osiepegi mane igenogo nowuondi kendo noloyi. Tiendegi oselingʼore e chwodho; osiepegi oseweyi.
23 And all wives your and children your [people will] bring out to the Chaldeans and you not you will escape from hand their for by [the] hand of [the] king of Babylon you will be captured and the city this it will burn with fire.
“Mondeu duto kod nyithindu nokelne jo-Babulon. Un uwegi ok unutony e lwetgi to enomaku gi ruodh Babulon; kendo dala maduongʼni nowangʼ mapodhi.”
24 And he said Zedekiah to Jeremiah anyone may not he know in the words these and not you will die.
Eka Zedekia nowachone Jeremia niya, “Kik iwe ngʼato ongʼe twak-wani, ka ok kamano to inyalo tho.
25 And if they will hear the officials that I have spoken with you and they will come to you and they will say to you tell! please to us what? did you say to the king may not you hide [it] from us and not we will put to death you and what? did he say to you the king.
Ka jotelo owinjo nine awuoyo kodi, kendo gibiro iri ma giwacho, ‘Nyiswa gima ne iwachone ruoth kendo gima ruoth nowachoni; kik ipandwa ka ok kamano to wabiro negi,’
26 And you will say to them [was] making fall I supplication my before the king to not to send back me [the] house of Jonathan to die there.
to nyisgi ni, ‘Ne asayo ruoth mondo kik oora adog e od Jonathan mondo atho kanyo.’”
27 And they came all the officials to Jeremiah and they asked him and he told to them according to all the words these which he had commanded the king and they kept silent from him for not it had been heard the matter.
Jotelo duto nobiro ir Jeremia mi gipenje, kendo nonyisogi gik moko duto mane ruoth ochike mondo awachi. Omiyo onge gima negichako ginyise, nimar onge ngʼama nowinjo twakgi gi ruoth.
28 And he remained Jeremiah in [the] courtyard of the guard until [the] day when it was captured Jerusalem. And it was just when it was captured Jerusalem.
Kendo Jeremia nodongʼ e laru mar jarito nyaka odiechiengʼ ma Jerusalem nokaw. Ma e kaka Jerusalem ne okaw:
