Jeremiah 37
1 Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
Zedekia wuod Josia noket ruodh juda gi Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon; nobedo gi loch kar Jehoyakin wuod Jehoyakim.
2 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, listened to the LORD’s words, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.
En kata jorit mage kata jopinyno ne ok owinjo weche mane Jehova Nyasaye owacho kokalo kuom janabi Jeremia.
3 Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, “Pray now to the LORD our God for us.”
Ruoth Zedekia, kata kamano, nooro Jehukal wuod Shelemia gi jadolo Zefania wuod Maseya ir janabi Jeremia gi wachni: “Kiyie to lamnwa Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa.”
4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people, for they had not put him into prison.
Koro Jeremia ne nigi thuolo mondo obi kendo odhi e dier ji, nimar ne pod ok okete e od twech.
5 Pharaoh’s army had come out of Egypt; and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them, they withdrew from Jerusalem.
Jolwenj Farao ne osewuok oa Misri, kendo ka jo-Babulon mane gero pidhe kolworo Jerusalem nowinjo wach mar biro margi, ne gidar gia Jerusalem.
6 Then the LORD’s word came to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne janabi Jeremia niya:
7 “The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘You shall tell the king of Judah, who sent you to me to inquire of me: “Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which has come out to help you, will return to Egypt into their own land.
“Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: Nyis ruodh Juda, mane oorou mondo unona ni, ‘Jolwenj Farao, mosewuok mondo okonyu, biro dok e pinygi giwegi, Misri.
8 The Chaldeans will come again, and fight against this city. They will take it and burn it with fire.”’
Eka jo-Babulon nodwogi kendo ginimonj dala maduongʼni; ginikawe kendo wangʼe pep.’
9 “The LORD says, ‘Don’t deceive yourselves, saying, “The Chaldeans will surely depart from us;” for they will not depart.
“Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Kik uwuondru uwegi, kuparo ni, ‘Jo-Babulon gadiera biro weyowa.’ Ok giniweu ngangʼ!
10 For though you had struck the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and only wounded men remained among them, they would each rise up in his tent and burn this city with fire.’”
Kata ka bed ni ne unyalo loyo jolwenj Babulon duto ma biro monjou kendo chwo mohiny kende ema odongʼ e hembegi, giniwuogi oko kendo giwangʼ dala maduongʼni.”
11 When the army of the Chaldeans had withdrawn from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,
Bangʼ ka jolwenj Babulon nose aa Jerusalem nikech jolwenj Farao,
12 then Jeremiah went out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, in the middle of the people.
Jeremia nochako wuok e dala maduongʼ mondo odhi e gwengʼ Benjamin mondo oyud pokne e dier joma ni kanyo.
13 When he was in Benjamin’s gate, a captain of the guard was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he seized Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “You are defecting to the Chaldeans!”
To kane ochopo e Dhoranga Benjamin, jatend jorito, ma nyinge en Irija wuod Shelemia, ma wuod Hanania, nomake kendo owacho niya, “Nenore ni iweyowa idokne jo-Babulon!”
14 Then Jeremiah said, “That is false! I am not defecting to the Chaldeans.” But he didn’t listen to him; so Irijah seized Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
“Mano ok adiera!” Jeremia nowachone. “Ok aringi adogne jo-Babulon.” To Irija ne ok nyal winje; kuom mano, nomako Jeremia kendo okele ir jotelo.
15 The princes were angry with Jeremiah, and struck him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that the prison.
Igi nowangʼ gi Jeremia kendo negikete ogoye kendo otweye e od Jonathan ma jagoro, mane giloso obedo od twech.
16 When Jeremiah had come into the dungeon house and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days,
Jeremia noketi e od twech manie bwo ot, kama ne obetie kuom kinde marabora.
17 then Zedekiah the king sent and had him brought out. The king asked him secretly in his house, “Is there any word from the LORD?” Jeremiah said, “There is.” He also said, “You will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.”
Eka Ruoth Zedekia nooro mondo okele e kar dak ruoth, kama ne openje akwala niya, “Bende nitiere wach moa kuom Jehova Nyasaye?” Jeremia nodwoko ni, “Nitiere, nikech nochiwi ni ruodh Babulon.”
18 Moreover Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, “How have I sinned against you, against your servants, or against this people, that you have put me in prison?
Eka Jeremia nowachone Ruoth Zedekia niya, “En ketho mane ma asetimoni kata ne jotendi kata ne jogi, momiyo iketa e od twech?
19 Now where are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, ‘The king of Babylon will not come against you, nor against this land’?
To koro ere jonabi mane okoroni ni, ‘Ruodh jo-Babulon ok nomonj pinyu kata in?’
20 Now please hear, my lord the king: please let my supplication be presented before you, that you not cause me to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.”
To koro, ruodha, yie iwinja. We akel kwayona e nyimi: Kik idwoka e od Jonathan ma jagoro, ka ok kamano to abiro tho kanyo.”
21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard. They gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city was gone. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
Eka Ruoth Zedekia nochiwo chik mondo Jeremia oket e laru jarito kendo miye makati koa e yore mag jolos makati odiechiengʼ ka odiechiengʼ, nyaka makati duto man e dala maduongʼno norumo.
