Jeremiah 1
1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that [were] in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
Weche Jeremia wuod Hilkia, achiel kuom jodolo man Anathoth e piny Benjamin.
2 To whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirone e higa mar apar gadek e loch Josia wuod Amon ruodh Juda,
3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, to the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
kendo kokalo e loch Jehoyakim wuod Josia ruodh Juda, kodhi nyaka e dwe mar abich mar higa mar apar gachiel mar Zedekia wuod Josia ruodh Juda, sa mane joma odak Jerusalem dhi e twech.
4 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona, kawacho niya,
5 Before I formed thee in embryo I knew thee; and before thou wast born I sanctified thee, [and] I ordained thee a prophet to the nations.
“Kane pok achweyi e ich ne angʼeyi, kane pok onywoli ne asewali tenge; ne ayieri kaka janabi ne pinje.”
6 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I [am] a child.
Ne awacho niya, “Yaye, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, ok angʼeyo wuoyo; an mana rawera matin.”
7 But the LORD said to me, Say not, I [am] a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatever I command thee thou shalt speak.
To Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Kik iwach ni, ‘An mana nyathi.’ Nyaka idhi ir ji duto maori irgi kendo iwach gimoro amora ma achiki.
8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I [am] with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
Kik iluorgi, nimar an kodi kendo abiro resoi,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said to me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye norieyo bade kendo omulo dhoga mi owachona niya, “Koro, aseketo wechega e dhogi.
10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
Ne, kawuononi ayieri ewi ogendini kod pinjeruodhi mondo ipudhi kendo iyiechi, mondo ikethi kendo ilok loch, mondo iger kendo ipudhi.”
11 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Jeremiah, What seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond-tree.
Wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona niya: “En angʼo mineno, Jeremia?” Anto ne adwoke ni, “Aneno bad yath mar oyungu.”
12 Then said the LORD to me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.
Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Ineno kare, nimar arito mondo ane ni wachna ochopo kare.”
13 And the word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot; and its face [is] towards the north.
Wach Jehova Nyasaye nochako birona kendo kopenjo niya, “En angʼo mineno?” Anto ne adwoke niya, “Aneno agulu mayienyo, kolokore oa yo nyandwat.”
14 Then the LORD said to me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
Jehova Nyasaye nowachona, “Koa yo nyandwat masira ibiro ol kuom jogo duto modak e piny.
15 For lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls around, and against all the cities of Judah.
Achiegni luongo ji duto mag pinje ma yo nyandwat,” Jehova Nyasaye wacho. Ruodhigi biro biro kendo giniket kom duongʼ-gi e kar donjo mar dhorangeye Jerusalem; gibiro monjo ohingini duto molwore kendo monjo mier madongo duto mag Juda.
16 And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, and worshiped the works of their own hands.
Abiro ngʼadone joga bura nikech timbegi mamono mar jwangʼa, kuom wangʼo ubani ne nyiseche mamoko kendo lamo gima lwetgi oseloso.
17 Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak to them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.
“Bed moikore! Chungʼ malo kendo wachnegi gimoro amora machiki. Kik iwe gibwogi, ka ok kamano to abiro bwogi e nyimgi.
18 For behold, I have made thee this day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against her princes, against her priests, and against the people of the land.
Kawuono aseketi dala maduongʼ mochiel motegno, kendo gi siro mar chuma kod ohinga mar mula mondo ogengʼne piny ngima, ma gin ruodhi mag Juda, jotende, jodolo mage kod ji duto mag pinyno.
19 And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I [am] with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.
Gibiro kedo kodi to ok gini loyi, nimar an kodi kendo abiro resi,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
