< Jeremiah 15 >

1 Then Yahweh said to me, “Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would not turn toward this people. Cast them out of my sight, and let them go out!
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachona kama: “Kata dabed ni Musa gi Samuel ema nyalo chungʼ e nyima, to ok anyal weyonegi richogi. Golgi oko e nyima! Wegi gidhi!
2 It will happen when they ask you, ‘Where shall we go out?’ then you shall tell them, ‘Yahweh says: “Such as are for death, to death; such as are for the sword, to the sword; such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for captivity, to captivity.”’
To ka gipenji ni, ‘Ere kama wanyalo dhiyoe?’ To nyisgi ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “‘Mago matho ochomo, tho nonegi; mago ma ligangla ochomo, noneg gi ligangla; to mago ma kech ochomo, kech nonegi; to mago ma twech ochomo, noter e twech.’”
3 “I will appoint over them four kinds,” says Yahweh: “the sword to kill, the dogs to tear, the birds of the sky, and the animals of the earth, to devour and to destroy.
Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “Abiro oro masiche angʼwen mopogore opogore, ma gin ligangla mar nek kod guogi maywayo gi mabor gi winy mafuyo e kor polo gi ondiegi mag bungu mondo okidhgi kendo tiekogi.
4 I will cause them to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
Anami pinjeruodhi duto mag piny bed gibuok kuomgi nikech gima Manase wuod Hezekia ruodh Juda notimo e Jerusalem.
5 For who will have pity on you, Jerusalem? Who will mourn you? Who will come to ask of your welfare?
“Ere ngʼama nokechi, yaye Jerusalem? Ere ngʼama biro ywagi? Ere ngʼama nochungʼ ma penji kaka idhi?”
6 You have rejected me,” says Yahweh. “You have gone backward. Therefore I have stretched out my hand against you and destroyed you. I am weary of showing compassion.
Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “Isedaga. Isiko mana kibaro iweyo yo. Omiyo anaket lweta kuomi kendo tieki; ok anatimni ngʼwono kendo.
7 I have winnowed them with a fan in the gates of the land. I have bereaved them of children. I have destroyed my people. They didn’t return from their ways.
Anapiedhgi gi odhech pietho e dhorangeye mag dala maduongʼ mar piny. Anakel lit kod kethruok ne joga, nimar gitamore loko yoregi.
8 Their widows are increased more than the sand of the seas. I have brought on them against the mother of the young men a destroyer at noonday. I have caused anguish and terrors to fall on her suddenly.
Anami mon ma chwogi otho mag-gi bedo mathoth moloyo kwoyo manie dho nam. E odiechiengʼ tir anakel ngʼama nego mana rowere; kendo apoya nono anakelnegi lit kod bwok maduongʼ.
9 She who has borne seven languishes. She has given up the spirit. Her sun has gone down while it was yet day. She has been disappointed and confounded. I will deliver their residue to the sword before their enemies,” says Yahweh.
Miyo man-gi nyithindo abiriyo nobed mool matho. To chiengʼ marienyne nopodhi kapod en odiechiengʼ; wiye nokuodi kendo chunye nochandre. Ananeg jogo motony gi ligangla, e nyim wasikgi,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
10 Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me, a man of strife, and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have not lent, neither have men lent to me; yet every one of them curses me.
Wuololo, minwa, angʼo momiyo ne inywola, an ngʼat ma piny ngima piemgo kendo kedogo! Pok aholo ngʼato kata an bende pok ohola, to kata kamano ji duto kwongʼa.
11 Yahweh said, “Most certainly I will strengthen you for good. Most certainly I will cause the enemy to make supplication to you in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho, “Adier anaresi gi gima omiyo maber; adier anami wasiki sayi, e kinde mag masira kod kinde mag thagruok.
12 Can one break iron, even iron from the north, and bronze?
“Bende dhano nyalo turo chuma, chuma moa yo nyandwat kata mula?
13 I will give your substance and your treasures for a plunder without price, and that for all your sins, even in all your borders.
“Mwandu magu kod mago ma ukano anachiw mondo yaki, maonge chudo, nikech richo magu duto e pinyu mangima.
14 I will make them to pass with your enemies into a land which you don’t know; for a fire is kindled in my anger, which will burn on you.”
Anaketu ubed wasumbini ne wasiku e piny ma ok ungʼeyo, nimar mirimba biro moko mach mabiro wangʼou.”
15 Yahweh, you know. Remember me, visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors. You are patient, so don’t take me away. Know that for your sake I have suffered reproach.
In ingʼeyo, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; para kendo konya. Chul kuor ne joma sanda. Isenano koda omiyo kik iweya; par kaka osesanda kochaya nikech in.
16 Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart, for I am called by your name, Yahweh, God of Armies.
Ka wechegi nobiro, ne achamogi; ne gin morna, kendo ilo mar chunya, nimar iluonga gi nyingi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye Maratego.
17 I didn’t sit in the assembly of those who make merry and rejoice. I sat alone because of your hand, for you have filled me with indignation.
Ne ok abedo e kanyakla mar jojaro, ne ok atimo nyasi kodgi; to ne abedo kenda nikech lweti ne ni kuoma kendo ne ipongʼa gi mirima.
18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? Will you indeed be to me as a deceitful brook, like waters that fail?
Angʼo momiyo rem mara ok rum kendo adhonda lich ma ok nyal thiedhore? Bende inyalo bedona ka aora modwono, mana ka soko motwo?
19 Therefore Yahweh says, “If you return, then I will bring you again, that you may stand before me; and if you take out the precious from the vile, you will be as my mouth. They will return to you, but you will not return to them.
Emomiyo ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Ka ilokori iweyo richoni, anaduogi mondo itina; ka iwacho weche mowinjore, ma ok manono, to ni inibed ngʼat ma wuoyo e loya. We jogi oduog ira, to in kik idog irgi.
20 I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall. They will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you to save you and to deliver you,” says Yahweh.
Anaketi ibed ohinga ne jogi, ohinga moger motegno mar mula; giniked kodi to ok gini loyi, nimar an kodi mondo akonyi kendo resi,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
21 “I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.”
“Anaresi e lwet joma timbegi mono kendo akonyi e lwet joma ger.”
