Jeremiah 42
1 Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, came near,
Eka jotend lweny duto, kaachiel gi Johanan wuod Karea kod Jezania wuod Hoshaya, kod ji duto chakre matin nyaka maduongʼ nodhi ir
2 and said to Jeremiah the prophet, “Please let our supplication be presented before you, and pray for us to the LORD your God, even for all this remnant, for we are left but a few of many, as your eyes see us,
janabi Jeremia kendo owachone niya, “Kiyie to iwinj kwayowa kendo ilamnwa Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi ne joma otonygi duto. Nimar kaka ineno sani, kata obedoni chon ne wangʼeny, to koro sani ji matin ema odongʼ.
3 that the LORD your God may show us the way in which we should walk, and the things that we should do.”
Lem mondo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi onyiswa kuma wanyalo dhiyoe kendo gima wanyalo timo.”
4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, “I have heard you. Behold, I will pray to the LORD your God according to your words; and it will happen that whatever thing the LORD answers you, I will declare it to you. I will keep nothing back from you.”
Janabi Jeremia nodwoko niya, “Asewinjou. Adier nyaka analamnu Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasacha kaka usekwayo; ananyisu gimoro amora ma Jehova Nyasaye owacho kendo onge gima anapandnu.”
5 Then they said to Jeremiah, “May the LORD be a true and faithful witness among us, if we don’t do according to all the word with which the LORD your God sends you to tell us.
Eka negiwachone Jeremia, “Mad Jehova Nyasaye bed ja-adiera kendo janeno makare kuomwa ka dipo ni timbewa ok oluwore gi gimoro ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi ooroi godo irwa.
6 Whether it is good, or whether it is bad, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the LORD our God.”
Kowinjore kata ka ok owinjore, wanaluor Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa, ma waori ire, mondo omi obed maber kodwa, nimar wanaluor Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa.”
7 After ten days, the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah.
Bangʼ ndalo apar wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Jeremia.
8 Then he called Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
Omiyo noluongo Johanan wuod Karea kod jotend lweny mane ni kode kod ji duto chakre matin nyaka maduongʼ.
9 and said to them, “The LORD, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your supplication before him, says:
Nowachonegi niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, mane uora ire mondo aterne kwayou, wacho:
10 ‘If you will still live in this land, then I will build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I grieve over the distress that I have brought on you.
‘Ka idak e pinyni, anageru kendo ok anatieku; anapidhu to ok pudhou oko, nimar asebedo gi lit kuom masiche masekelo kuomu.
11 Don’t be afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid. Don’t be afraid of him,’ says the LORD, ‘for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
Kik uluor ruodh Babulon, makoro uluoro. Kik uluore, Jehova Nyasaye wacho, nimar an kodu kendo anaresu ua e lwetene.
12 I will grant you mercy, that he may have mercy on you, and cause you to return to your own land.
Anatimnu ngʼwono mondo omi en bende ongʼwonnu kendo odwoku e pinyu.’
13 “‘But if you say, “We will not dwell in this land,” so that you don’t obey the LORD your God’s voice,
“To ka uwacho, ‘Ok wanadagie pinyni,’ mamano mi ubed ma ok uluoro Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu,
14 saying, “No, but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we will see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there we will dwell;”’
kendo ka uwacho ni, ‘Ooyo, wanadhi kendo wadag Misri, kama ok wana neye lweny kata winjo turumbete kata bedo gi kech mar makati,’
15 now therefore hear the LORD’s word, O remnant of Judah! The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘If you indeed set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to live there,
to uwinj wach Jehova Nyasaye, yaye joma otony modongʼ mag Juda. Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: ‘Ka uramo ni nyaka udhi Misri kendo udhi udak kanyo,
16 then it will happen that the sword, which you fear, will overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, about which you are afraid, will follow close behind you there in Egypt; and you will die there.
to ngʼeuru ni ligangla ma uluoro nomaku, kendo kech mabwogou noluu nyaka Misri, kendo kanyo ema unuthoe.
17 So will it be with all the men who set their faces to go into Egypt to live there. They will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. None of them will remain or escape from the evil that I will bring on them.’
Adiera, jogo duto moramo mondo odhi odag Misri noneg gi ligangla, kech kod masira maonge ngʼato angʼata ma notony e chandruok mabiro kelo kuomgi.’
18 For the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘As my anger and my wrath has been poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so my wrath will be poured out on you, when you enter into Egypt; and you will be an object of horror, an astonishment, a curse, and a reproach; and you will see this place no more.’
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: ‘Kaka ich wangʼ mara kod mirimba aseolo kuom jogo modak Jerusalem, e kaka mirimba ibiro olo kuomu ka udhi Misri. Inibed gir kwongʼ kendo mabwogo ji, gima ingʼadogo bura kendo gir ajara; ok unuchak une kaeni kendo.’
19 “The LORD has spoken concerning you, remnant of Judah, ‘Don’t go into Egypt!’ Know certainly that I have testified to you today.
“Yaye jo-Juda modongʼ, Jehova Nyasaye osenyisou ni, ‘Kik udhi Misri.’ Beduru gadiera kuom ma: Asiemou kawuono
20 For you have dealt deceitfully against your own souls; for you sent me to the LORD your God, saying, ‘Pray for us to the LORD our God; and according to all that the LORD our God says, so declare to us, and we will do it.’
ni ne uketho ketho malich kane uora ir Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kendo uwacho ni, ‘Lamnwa Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa; nyiswa gik moko duto mowacho kendo wanatim kamano.’
21 I have declared it to you today; but you have not obeyed the LORD your God’s voice in anything for which he has sent me to you.
Asewachonu kawuono, to pod ok uluoro Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kuom gigo duto mane oora mondo anyisu.
22 Now therefore know certainly that you will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence in the place where you desire to go to live.”
Omiyo koro, beduru gadieri kuom ma: Nonegu gi ligangla, kech kod masira kuma udwaro dhiye mondo udagie.”
