Jeremiah 26
1 Soon after Jehoiakim became the king of Judah, Yahweh gave [me] this message:
E chakruok mar loch Jehoyakim wuod Josia ruodh Juda, wachni nobiro koa ir Jehova Nyasaye:
2 “This is what [I], Yahweh, am telling you: Stand in the courtyard [in front] of my temple, and speak to all [the people from] the various towns in Judah who come there to worship me. Tell them everything that I tell you; do not omit anything.
“Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Chungi e laru mar od Jehova Nyasaye kendo iwuo gi ji duto manie dala mar Juda ma lemoga e od Jehova Nyasaye. Nyisgi gik moko duto manyisi; kik iwe kata wach achiel.
3 [If you do tell them everything], perhaps they will pay attention, and each one of them will turn away from his evil behavior. Then I will change my mind, and not cause them to experience the disaster that I was planning to cause them to experience because of the evil things that they have done.
Sa moro ginichik itgi kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato olokre owe yorene maricho. Eka analok pacha kendo ok anakel kuomgi masira mane achano nikech timbe maricho magisetimo.
4 Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh says: I sent to you the prophets who serve me, to tell you what you should do. I sent them to you many times, but you have not paid attention to what they said. If you will not pay attention to what I say and do not obey the message that I have given to you, and if you do not pay attention to what the prophets say,
Wachnegi ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Ka ok uwinja kendo uluwo chikena, ma aseketo e nyimu,
kendo ka ok uwinjo weche mag jotichna ma jonabi, maseoronu pile ka pile (kata kamano pod ok uwinjo),
6 I will destroy this temple like I destroyed Shiloh, [the place where the Sacred Tent was put]. And I will cause Jerusalem to be a place whose name [people in] every nation on the earth will say when they curse someone.’”
bangʼe anami odni obed ka Shilo kendo dala maduongʼni ka gima okwongʼ e dier ogendini duto mag piny.’”
7 [When I did what Yahweh told me to do, ] the priests, the [false] prophets, and many [other] people listened to me as I told them that message outside the temple.
Jodolo, jonabi kod ji duto nowinjo Jeremia kawacho wechegi e od Jehova Nyasaye.
8 But as soon as I finished telling them everything that Yahweh had commanded me to say, they all seized me and said, “You must be executed!
To bangʼ ka Jeremia nosetieko nyiso ji duto gik moko duto mane Jehova Nyasaye ochike mondo owachi, jodolo, jonabi kod ji duto nomake kendo owachone niya, “Nyaka itho!
9 Why [RHQ] are you prophesying that this temple will be [destroyed] like Shiloh [was destroyed]? Why are you saying that this city will be destroyed, and that no one will live here [any more]? (OR, You should not be prophesying) [RHQ]” All the people surrounded me [as I stood] in [front of] the temple.
Angʼo ma omiyo ikoro e nying Jehova Nyasaye ni odni biro chalo ka Shilo kendo ni dala maduongʼni nojwangʼ kendo nokethi maonge ngʼama nodagie?” Kendo ji duto nochokore kolworo Jeremia e od Jehova Nyasaye.
10 When the officials of Judah heard about all this [that was happening], they rushed from the palace and sat down at the gate of the temple named The New Gate, [to judge my case].
Ka jotend jo-Juda nowinjo wechegi, negia kar dak mar ruoth ma gidhi nyaka e od Jehova Nyasaye kendo negikawo keregi e kar donjo mar Dhorangach Manyien mar od Jehova Nyasaye.
11 The priests and the [false] told the officials and the other people [who were there], “This man should be executed, because he has prophesied that this city [will be destroyed], and you yourselves [MTY] have heard him say that!”
Eka jodolo kod jonabi nowachone jotelo kod ji duto niya, “Ngʼatni onego ngʼadne buch nek nikech nokoro kuom dala maduongʼni. Usewinje gi itu uwegi!”
12 Then I replied to the officials and the other people, saying, “Yahweh sent me to prophesy all the things that you heard me say about [what will happen to] this temple and this city.
Eka Jeremia nowachone jotelo duto kod ji duto niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ne oora mondo akor kuom odni kod dala maduongʼni gigo duto musewinjo.
13 But if you change your behavior and stop sinning, and [start to] obey Yahweh our God, he will change his mind, and not cause you to experience the disasters that he said that he would send.
Koro lokuru yoreu gi timbeu kendo uluor Nyasachu. Eka Jehova Nyasaye nolok pache kendo ok nokel masira kuomu mosechano timonu.
14 As for me, I am not able to free myself from your grasp. [So you can] do to me whatever you want to do.
Anto an e lweti; timnauru gima uneno ka ber kendo nikare.
15 [But you need to] know that if you kill me, you will be killing a man [SYN] who (is innocent/has not done anything wrong). And you and everyone else in this city will be guilty, because the truth is that it was Yahweh who sent me to speak every word that you have heard me say.”
To ngʼeuru gadieri ni, ka unega, to unukel ketho kuom chwero remo maonge ketho kuomu uwegi kendo kuom dala maduongʼni gi jogo modak e iye, nimar adiera Jehova Nyasaye oseora iru mondo awachnu wechegi duto ka uwinjo gi itu.”
16 Then the officials and the other people said to the priests and the [false] prophets, “This man does not deserve to be executed, because he has spoken to us the message [MTY] that Yahweh gave him!”
Eka jotelo duto kod ji duto nowachone jodolo gi jonabi niya, “Ngʼatni ok onego ngʼadne buch tho! Osewuoyonwa e nying Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa.”
17 Then some of the elders stood up and spoke to all the people who were gathered [there].
Jodongo moko mag piny nosudo nyime e lela kendo owachone chokruok mangima mar ji ni,
18 They said, “([Remember/Think about) what] Micah, [the prophet] from Moresheth [town], prophesied during the years that Hezekiah was the King of Judah. He told the people of Judah this: ‘This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: [Some day] Zion [Hill] will be plowed like fields [are plowed]; Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins. There will be a large clump/group of trees on top of the hill where the temple is now.’
“Mika maa Moresheth nokoro e ndalo Hezekia ruodh Juda. Nonyiso jo-Juda duto ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho: “‘Sayun ibiro pur ka puodho, Jerusalem biro dongʼ gunda, got matin mogerie hekalu nobed ka bungu motwere moyugno.’
19 But did [RHQ] King Hezekiah or anyone else in Judah kill Micah [for saying that]? No! Instead, Hezekiah revered Yahweh, and pleaded that he would (act mercifully toward/not destroy) them. So, Yahweh changed his mind about causing them to experience the terrible disaster that he said he would send. And now [if we kill Jeremiah], we are going to cause ourselves to experience a terrible disaster!”
Bende Hezekia ruodh Juda kata ngʼato angʼata man Juda nonegi? Donge Hezekia noluoro Jehova Nyasaye kendo omanyo ngʼwono mare? Kendo donge Jehova Nyasaye noloko pache, mi omiyo ne ok okelo masira kuomgi? Wachiegni kelo masira malich kuomwa wawegi!”
20 [At that time, ] the son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-Jearim [city] was also prophesying/proclaiming messages [MTY] from Yahweh. He was predicting that the city and the rest of the land would experience the same disasters that I was predicting.
(Koro Uria wuod Shemaya moa Kiriath Jearim ne ngʼat machielo mane okoro e nying Jehova Nyasaye; nokoro mana gik machalre kuom dala maduongʼni kendo pinyni mana kaka Jeremia notimo.
21 When King Jehoiakim and his army officers and officials heard what Uriah was saying, the king sent someone to kill Uriah. But Uriah heard about it, and became [very] afraid, and he (escaped/ran away) to Egypt.
Ka Ruoth Jehoyakim kod jotende duto nowinjo wechege, ruoth ne dwaro mondo onege. To Uria nowinjo ma kendo oringo ka luoro omake nyaka Misri.
22 Then King Jehoiakim sent Elnathan the son of Acbor along with several other men to Egypt.
Ruoth Jehoyakim, kata kamano, nooro Elnathan wuod Akbor nyaka Misri, kaachiel gi chwo mamoko.
23 They captured Uriah and took him [back to Jerusalem] to King Jehoiakim. The king then [had a soldier] kill Uriah with a sword. Then they buried his corpse in a place where poor people are buried.
Negigolo Uria Misri kendo gitere ne Ruoth Jehoyakim, mane omiyo onege gi ligangla kendo dende owiti e kar yiko mar ji ajiya.)
24 However, Ahikam the son of Shaphan defended me, and persuaded the officials not to allow [MTY] the mob to murder me.
Bende, Ahikam wuod Shafan noriwo Jeremia lwedo, kendo omiyo ne ok ochiwe e lwet jogo mondo onege.
