Jeremia 6
1 “Un jo-Benjamin, ringuru utony! Ringuru ua Jerusalem! Gouru turumbete Tekoa! Keturu ranyisi ewi Beth Hakerem! Nimar masira aa yo nyandwat, kod kethruok malich.
O ye children of Beniamin, prepare to flee out of the middes of Ierusalem, and blowe the trumpet in Tekoa: set vp a standart vpon Beth-haccerem: for a plague appeareth out of the North and great destruction.
2 Anatiek nyar Sayun, ma ber neno kendo ma dende yom.
I haue compared the daughter of Zion to a beautifull and daintie woman.
3 Jokwath kod jambgi noked kode; ginigur hembegi molwore, ka moro ka moro rito kare owuon.”
The pastors with their flockes shall come vnto her: they shall pitche their tentes rounde about by her, and euery one shall feede in his place.
4 “Ikri mar kedo kode! Wuoguru, wadhi wamonjgi e dier odiechiengʼ! To mano kaka ler mar odiechiengʼ bedo ma dimdim, kendo tipo mag odhiambo yware.
Prepare warre against her: arise, and let vs goe vp toward the South: wo vnto vs: for the day declineth, and the shadowes of the euening are stretched out.
5 Omiyo aa malo, wamonjgi gotieno kendo waketh ohingane motegno!”
Arise, and let vs goe vp by night, and destroy her palaces.
6 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho: “Ngʼad yiende kendo iger pidhe mondo wamonj Jerusalem. Dala maduongʼni nyaka kum; nikech opongʼ gi joma hinyo jowadgi.
For thus hath the Lord of hostes said, Hewe downe wood, and cast a mounte against Ierusalem: this citie must be visited: all oppression is in the middes of it.
7 Kaka soko olo pige oko, e kaka en bende oolo timbene mamono. Lweny kod kethruok mor e iye; tuone kod adhondene osiko e nyima.
As the fountaine casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her malice: crueltie and spoyle is continually heard in her before me with sorowe and strokes.
8 Winj siem, yaye Jerusalem, ka ok kamano to abiro weyi, mi awe pinyi nono, ma ngʼato angʼata ok nyal dak e iye.”
Be thou instructed, O Ierusalem, lest my soule depart from thee, lest I make thee desolate as a land, that none inhabiteth.
9 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho: “Mad gidwog jo-Israel modongʼ kaka jochok olemb mzabibu; ngʼauru bedeu e bede yath, mana kaka ngʼama pono olemo.”
Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes, They shall gather as a vine, the residue of Israel: turne backe thine hande as the grape gatherer into the baskets.
10 En ngʼa ma anyalo wuoyogo kendo miyo siemni? En ngʼa manyalo winja? Itgi odino omiyo ok ginyal winjo wach. Wach Jehova Nyasaye chwanyogi; ok gine gima ber kuome.
Vnto whome shall I speake, and admonish that they may heare? beholde, their eares are vncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: beholde, the worde of the Lord is vnto them as a reproche: they haue no delite in it.
11 To apongʼ gi mirima mar Jehova Nyasaye, kendo ok anyal lingʼ kode. “Ole oko kuom nyithindo manie yore, kendo kuom yawuowi mochokore kanyakla; dichwo kaachiel gi dhako gini nomaki, kod joma oti, jogo mahikgi oniangʼ.
Therefore I am full of the wrath of the Lord: I am weary with holding it: I will powre it out vpon the children in the streete, and likewise vpon the assembly of the yong men: for the husband shall euen be taken with the wife, and the aged with him that is full of daies.
12 Utegi ibiro miyo joma moko, kaachiel gi puothegi kod mondegi, ka arieyo lweta kuom jogo modak e piny,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
And their houses with their landes, and wiues also shalbe turned vnto strangers: for I will stretch out mine hande vpon the inhabitants of the land, sayeth the Lord.
13 “Chakre ngʼama tin nyaka ngʼama duongʼ, giduto girikni ka gidwaro mwandu e yor miganga; jonabi kod jodolo chalre, giduto gin jo-miriambo.
For from the least of them, euen vnto the greatest of them, euery one is giuen vnto couetousnesse, and from the Prophet euen vnto the Priest, they all deale falsely.
14 Githiedho adhonde mag joga mana ka gima ok en gima lich. Giwacho niya, ‘Kwe, kwe,’ kata mana ka kwe onge.
They haue healed also ye hurt of the daughter of my people with sweete woordes, saying, Peace, peace, when there is no peace.
15 Bende gin-gi wichkuot kuom timbegi makwero? Ooyo, gionge wichkuot kata mana matin; ok gingʼeyo kata kaka ginyalo wuondore. Omiyo gibiro podho mana kaka joma moko mopodho; kendo ibiro dwokgi piny kakumogi,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not ashamed, no neither coulde they haue any shame: therefore they shall fall among the slaine: when I shall visite them, they shall be cast downe, sayth the Lord.
16 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Chunguru e akek yore kendo urang wangʼ yore machon; penjuru kuma yo maber nitie, mondo uwuothie, kendo unuyud yweyo e chunyu. To ne uwacho ni, ‘Ok wanaluwe.’
Thus sayeth the Lord, Stande in the waies and beholde, and aske for the olde way, which is the good way and walke therein, and yee shall finde rest for your soules: but they saide, We will not walke therein.
17 Ne aketonu jorito kendo awacho, ‘Chikuru itu ne turumbete!’ To ne uwacho, ‘Ok wanachik itwa.’
Also I set watchmen ouer you, which said, Take heede to the sound of the trumpet: but they said, We will not take heede.
18 Omiyo winjuru, yaye un ogendini; ranguru malongʼo, yaye un joneno, gima biro timore negi.
Heare therefore, yee Gentiles, and thou Congregation knowe, what is among them.
19 Winji, yaye piny: Akelo masira ne jogi, ma en olemo mar pachgi maricho, nikech gitamore winjo wechena, kendo gisedagi chikna.
Heare, O earth, beholde, I will cause a plague to come vpon this people, euen the fruite of their owne imaginations: because they haue not taken heede vnto my woordes, nor to my Lawe, but cast it off.
20 Ere tiend ubani mangʼwe ngʼar moa kuom Sheba kata niangʼ ma milimili moa e piny mabor? Chiwo magu mag misengini miwangʼo pep ok ayiego; misango magu ok mora.”
To what purpose bringest thou mee incense from Sheba, and sweete calamus from a farre countrey? Your burnt offerings are not pleasant, nor your sacrifices sweete vnto me.
21 Emomiyo ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Anaket rachwany e nyim jogi. Wuone kod yawuowi nochwanyre kuomgi; jogo modak mokiewo kodgi kod osiepe nolal nono.”
Therefore thus sayeth the Lord, Beholde, I will laie stumbling blockes before this people, and the fathers and the sonnes together shall fall vpon them: the neighbour and his friende shall perish.
22 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Neuru, jolweny biro koa e piny man yo nyandwat; oganda maduongʼ itugo koa e tunge piny.
Thus sayeth the Lord, Beholde, a people commeth from the North countrey, and a great nation shall arise from the sides of the earth.
23 Gimanore gi atungʼ kod tongʼ; giger kendo gionge ngʼwono. Gimor ka nam mogingore ka giriembo faresegi; gibiro ka ji mochanore komanore gi gige lweny mondo gimonju, yaye Nyar Sayun.”
With bowe and shield shall they be weaponed: they are cruell and will haue no compassion: their voyce roareth like the sea, and they ride vpon horses, well appointed, like men of warre against thee, O daughter Zion.
24 Wasewinjo humbgi, kendo bedewa onge gi teko. Rem malich osemakowa, ka rem mar dhako mamuoch kayo.
We haue heard their fame, and our handes waxe feeble sorrowe is come vpon vs, as the sorrowe of a woman in trauaile.
25 Kik udhi e puothe kata uwuothie yore, nimar jasigu nigi ligangla, kendo nitie luoro kamoro amora.
Goe not foorth into the fielde, nor walke by the way: for the sword of the enemie and feare is on euery side.
26 Yaye joga, rwakuru lepu mag ywak kendo ngʼielreuru e buru; gouru nduru ka udengo malit mana ka ngʼama ywago wuode achiel kende, nimar apoya nono jaketh gik moko biro podho kuomwa.
O daughter of my people, girde thee with sackecloth, and wallowe thy selfe in the ashes: make lamentation, and bitter mourning as for thine onely sonne: for the destroier shall suddenly come vpon vs.
27 “Aseketi rapim mipimogo chumbe to joga kama ikunye chumbe, mondo mi ingʼi kendo ipim yoregi.
I haue set thee for a defence and fortresse among my people, that thou maiest knowe and trie their waies.
28 Giduto gin jongʼanyo ma tokgi tek ta, ka gidhi ka gi kacha mar kuotho. Gin nyinyo kod chuma; giduto gin jomecho.
They are all rebellious traitours, walking craftily: they are brasse, and yron, they all are destroyers.
29 Kata obedo ni jotheth moko mach matek mondo oleny fedha, kendo opwodhi, to mano en mana kayiem nono; kamano bende joma richo ok nyal pwodhore.
The bellowes are burnt: the lead is consumed in the fire: the founder melteth in vaine: for the wicked are not taken away.
30 Iluongogi ni fedha mojwangʼ, nikech Jehova Nyasaye osejwangʼogi.”
They shall call them reprobate siluer, because the Lord hath reiected them.
