Jeremiah 27
1 Soon after Zedekiah became the King of Judah, Yahweh gave a message to me.
E chakruok mar loch Zedekia wuod Josia ruodh Juda, wachni nobiro ne Jeremia koa ir Jehova Nyasaye:
2 This is what he said to me: “Make a (yoke/set of wooden bars to fasten around the neck of an ox), but fasten it around your own neck with leather straps.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye nowachona: “Los jok gi tol kod lodi moriw kendo ikete e ngʼuti.
3 [Then] send messages to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, and Sidon, by telling those messages to the ambassadors from those countries who have come to Jerusalem to [talk to] King Zedekiah.
Eka ior wach ne ruodhi mag Edom, Moab, Amon, Turo kod Sidon kokalo kuom jombetre mosebiro Jerusalem ir Zedekia ruodh Juda.
4 Tell them to give this message to their kings: This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom the Israeli [people worship, ]:
Migi ote mar jotendgi kendo iwachi ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ma, Nyasach Israel, wacho: “Nyisuru jotendu kama:
5 ‘With my very great power [MTY, DOU] I created the earth and the people and the animals that are on the earth. And I can give my power to anyone whom I want to.
Kuom tekona maduongʼ asechweyo piny gi joge kod le duto manie iye, kendo achiwo gigagi ne ngʼato angʼata mahero.
6 And now I am going to enable King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, who does what I want him to do, to control your countries. I am going to enable him to rule everything, even the wild animals.
Koro anachiw pinjeu ne jatichna Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon; anami kata le mag bungu winje.
7 [The people of] all the nations will work for him, and [later] for his son, and [later] for his grandson, until the time for them [to rule] is finished. Then [the armies of] many great kings from many nations will conquer Babylon.’
Ogendini duto notine kod wuode kod nyakware ma wuowi nyaka kinde mar pinye chopi; eka pinje mangʼeny kod ruodhi maroteke nokete obed jatichgi.
8 But now I tell you that you must [do what the king of Babylon wants you to do] [MET], [like an ox that has] a yoke on its neck [must do what its master wants it to do]. I will punish any nation that refuses to do that. I will cause those people to experience war and famine and diseases, until [the armies of] Babylon have conquered that nation.
“‘“Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya: Kapo ni piny kata gwengʼ moro amora ok noti ne Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon kata kulo wiye e bwo jok mare, to anakum pinyno gi ligangla, kech kod masira, nyaka ane ni atieke gi lwete.
9 So, do not pay attention to your [false] prophets and fortune-tellers and people who predict what will happen by working magic or by talking with spirits of dead people. Those people say that the king of Babylon will not conquer your country.
Omiyo kik uchik itu ne jonabi magu, jokor wach magu, joloknu lek, jo-nyakalondo kata ajuoke magu manyisou ni ok unutine ruodh Babulon.
10 Those people are [all] liars. [If you believe what they say, ] it will result in your being exiled from your land. I will cause you to be taken from your land, and you will die far away.
Gikoronu miriambo ma biro miyo idarou mabor gi pinyu; anariembu kendo unutho.
11 But the people of any country who do what the King of Babylon wants them to do will remain in their own country and be able to plant their crops [MTY] [as they always have done. That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
To ka oganda moro amora enokulre e bwo jok mar ruodh Babulon mi otine, to anami ogandano odongʼ e pinye owuon mondo opure kendo mondo odagi kanyo, Jehova Nyasaye owacho.”’”
12 [After I gave that message to those ambassadors, ] I gave the same message to King Zedekiah of Judah. [I said to him, ] “If you want to remain alive, do what the King of Babylon and his officials want you to do [MET].
Ne amiyo Zedekia ruodh Juda wach achielni. Ne awacho niya, “Kul wiyi e bwo jok mar ruodh Babulon; tine kod joge, to ibiro dak.
13 [It would be foolish for you not to do that, because the result would be that] you and your people would die by [your enemies’] swords or by famine or diseases, which Yahweh will cause any nation to experience that refuses to allow the King of Babylon to rule them.
Angʼo madimi in kod jogi tho e dho ligangla, kech kod masira mano ma Jehova Nyasaye osechano timo ni ogendini ma ok bi tiyone ruodh Babulon?
14 Do not pay attention to those prophets who say to you, ‘The King of Babylon will not conquer your country.’ They are liars.
Kik uchik itu ne jonabi mawachonu ni, ‘Ok ubi tiyone ruodh Babulon,’ nimar gikoronu miriambo.
15 [This is what] Yahweh says: ‘I have not appointed those prophets. They are saying that I [MTY] gave them messages, but they are lying. So, [if you believe them, ] I will expel you from this land. And you and all those prophets will die [in Babylon]!’”
Jehova Nyasaye wacho ni, ‘Ok aorogi. Gikoro miriambo e nyinga. Emomiyo, anariembu kendo unulal nono, un kaachiel gi jonabi ma koronu.’”
16 Then I spoke to the priests and the other people, and I said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘Do not believe your prophets who tell you that all the gold items [that were taken] from my temple [by soldiers from Babylon] will soon be returned from Babylon, because what they are prophesying is a lie.
Eka ne awachone jodolo kod jogi duto niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Kik uchik itu ne jonabi mawacho ni, ‘Machiegnini koro gigo duto moa e od Jehova Nyasaye ibiro duogi koa Babulon.’ Gikoronu miriambo.
17 Do not pay attention to what they say. Surrender to the king of Babylon. If you do that, you will remain alive. [If you do not do that] [RHQ], this entire city will be destroyed.
Kik iwinjgi. Tine ruodh Babulon, to inibed mangima. Angʼo momiyo dala maduongʼni nyaka kethi?
18 If they are really prophets who speak messages from me, tell them to plead to me, the Commander of the armies of angels, that [the soldiers from Babylon] will not be allowed to take away to Babylon the valuable items that [still] remain in the temple and in the king’s palace and in [the other palaces in] Jerusalem.
Ka gin jonabi kendo gin-gi wach Jehova Nyasaye, to mondo gikwa Jehova Nyasaye Maratego gigo mabeyo modongʼ e od Jehova Nyasaye kod e kar dak mar ruodh Juda kod e Jerusalem kik ter Babulon.
19 [I say this] because the [huge] pillars [that are in front of the temple] and the large water tank and the [ten water] carts and all the other items that are used [for offering sacrifices are still in this city].
Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho kuom sirni, Nam, gik minyalo tingʼ kod gik mamoko modongʼ e dala maduongʼni,
20 King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon left those things here when he exiled Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, to Babylon, along with all the [other] leaders of Jerusalem and [the leaders of other places in] Judah.
mane Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon ne ok okawo sa mane otero Jehoyakin wuod Jehoyakim ruodh Juda e twech kogole Jerusalem nyaka Babulon kaachiel gi joka ruoth moa Juda gi Jerusalem,
21 [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom the Israeli [people worship], say this about all those valuable things that are still outside the temple and in the palace of the king of Judah and in [other places in]:
ee, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho kuom gigo mane odongʼ e od Jehova Nyasaye kendo e kar dak mar ruodh Juda kod e Jerusalem:
22 They will [all] be carried away to Babylon. And they will stay there until I say that they should be brought back to Jerusalem. Then they will be bought back here. [That is what I, ] Yahweh, say.’”
‘Notergi Babulon kendo kanyo ginidongʼ nyaka odiechiengʼ ma anabi kawogie. Eka anadwog-gi kendo aketgi kae.’” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
