< Jeremiah 31 >

1 At the same time, saith the Lord, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho e kindeno niya, “Anabed Nyasach dhout Israel duto, kendo ginibed joga.”
2 Thus saith the Lord, The people which escaped the sworde, founde grace in the wildernes: he walked before Israel to cause him to rest.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Jogo motony e ligangla noyud ngʼwono e piny motimo ongoro; anabi mondo ami Israel yweyo.”
3 The Lord hath appeared vnto me of old, say they: Yea, I haue loued thee with an euerlasting loue, therefore with mercie I haue drawen thee.
Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyorenwa chon, kawacho niya: “Aseherou gihera manyaka chiengʼ; aseomou gihera mar ngʼwono.
4 Againe I will builde thee, and thou shalt be builded, O virgine Israel: thou shalt stil be adorned with thy timbrels, and shalt goe foorth in the dance of them that be ioyfull.
Anageru kendo to bende enogeru, yaye Israel ma nyako ngili. Bende unugo nyiduongeu kendo, mi udhi oko ma umiel gi ilo.
5 Thou shalt yet plant vines vpon the mountaines of Samaria, and the planters that plant them, shall make them common.
Bende unupidh mzabibu e gode matindo mag Samaria; jopur nopidhgi, kendo ginibed mamor gi olembegi.
6 For the dayes shall come that the watchmen vpon the mount of Ephraim shall cry, Arise, and let vs go vp vnto Zion to the Lord our God.
Odiechiengʼ moro nobedie ma jorit noywagi e gode matindo mag Efraim niya, ‘Biuru wadhi Sayun, ir Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa.’”
7 For thus saith the Lord, Reioyce with gladnesse for Iaakob, and shoute for ioye among the chiefe of the Gentiles: publish praise, and say, O Lord, saue thy people, the remnant of Israel.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Wer gi ilo ne Jakobo; kog matek ne jotelo madongo mag ogendini. Onego pak magu owinjre, kendo uwachi niya, ‘Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, res jogi, jo-Israel mane otony.’
8 Beholde, I will bring them from the North countrey, and gather them from the coastes of the world, with the blinde and the lame among them, with the woman with childe, and her that is deliuered also: a great companie shall returne hither.
Ne, anakelgi ka gia e piny man yo nyandwat, kendo achokgi ka gia e tungʼ piny ka tungʼ piny duto. Dhano ma galamoro nodwogi motingʼo muofni kod rongʼonde, mine ma yach kod mamuoch kayo.
9 They shall come weeping, and with mercie will I bring them againe: I will lead them by the riuers of water in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first borne.
Giniduogi ka giywak; gini lem sa ma aduogogi. Anatelnegi e bath aore man-gi pi, e kuonde mopie ma ok ginichwanyre, nikech an wuon Israel, kendo Efraim e wuoda makayo.
10 Heare the worde of the Lord, O ye Gentiles, and declare in the yles afarre off, and say, Hee that scattered Israel, wil gather him and wil keepe him, as a shepheard doeth his flocke.
“Winjuru wach Jehova Nyasaye, yaye ogendini, kendo landeuru e kuonde maboyo manie dho nembe: ‘Ngʼama nokeyo jo-Israel nochokgi, kendo enorit rombe kaka jakwath.’
11 For the Lord hath redeemed Iaakob, and ransomed him from the hande of him, that was stronger then he.
Nimar Jehova Nyasaye nokony Jakobo e lwet wasike, kendo enoresgi e lwet jogo matek moloyogi.
12 Therefore they shall come, and reioyce in the height of Zion, and shall runne to the bountifulnes of the Lord, euen for the wheat and for the wine, and for the oyle, and for the increase of sheepe, and bullocks: and their soule shalbe as a watered garden, and they shall haue no more sorow.
Ginibi kendo ginikogi gi ilo e kuonde motingʼore gi malo mag Sayun; ginibed gi ilo kuom chiwo mabup mar Jehova Nyasaye, ma gin cham, divai manyien kod mo, nyithi rombe kod dhok. Ginichal gi puodho moole pi maber, kendo ok ginibed gi kuyo kendo.
13 Then shall ye virgine reioyce in the dance, and the yong men and the old men together: for I wil turne their mourning into ioy, and wil comfort them, and giue them ioy for their sorowes.
Eka jotich ma nyiri nomiel kendo bed mamor, yawuowi matindo kod joma oti machalre. Analok ywakgi obed mor; anahogi kendo anamigi ilo kar kuyo.
14 And I wil replenish the soule of the Priests with fatnesse, and my people shalbe satisfied with my goodnesse, saith the Lord.
Anami jodolo gik mathoth mongundho, kendo joga nopongʼ, gi chiwo mara mabup,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
15 Thus saith the Lord, A voyce was heard on hie, a mourning and bitter weeping. Rahel weeping for her children, refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Dwol winjore Rama, ka goyo nduru, kendo ywak malich, Rael ywago nyithinde kendo odagi ni ok nyal hoye, nikech gisetho.”
16 Thus saith the Lord, Refraine thy voyce from weeping, and thine eyes from teares: for thy worke shalbe rewarded, saith the Lord, and they shall come againe from the land of the enemie:
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Lingʼ iwe ywak kendo ywe pi wangʼi, nimar nochuli kuom tichni. Giniduogi ka gia e piny wasigu.” Jehova Nyasaye wacho.
17 And there is hope in thine ende, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come againe to their owne borders.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Omiyo nitiere geno kuom ndaloni mabiro. Nyithindu nodwogi e pinygi giwegi.
18 I haue heard Ephraim lamenting thus, Thou hast corrected me, and I was chastised as an vntamed calfe: conuert thou me, and I shalbe conuerted: for thou art the Lord my God.
“Adiera asewinjo ywak Efraim: Ne imiya kum ka nyaroya ma lelo, kendo osekuma. Duoga, kendo anaduogi, nikech in Jehova Nyasaye Nyasacha.
19 Surely after that I conuerted, I repented: and after that I was instructed, I smote vpon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, euen confounded, because I did beare the reproch of my youth.
Bangʼ kane asebaro, ne akwayo weruok; bangʼ kane wach osedonjona, ne agoyo agoga. Wiya nokuot kendo ne awinjo lit, nikech ne atingʼo wichkuot mar bedona rawera.
20 Is Ephraim my deare sonne or pleasant childe? yet since I spake vnto him, I still remembred him: therefore my bowels are troubled for him: I wil surely haue compassion vpon him, saith the Lord.
Donge Efraim en wuoda makende, nyathi ma amor godo? Kata obedo ni awuoyoga kuome marach, to pod apare. Emomiyo chunya ywage,” an-gi kech kuome, Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
21 Set thee vp signes: make thee heapes: set thine heart towarde the path and way, that thou hast walked: turne againe, O virgine of Israel: turne againe to these thy cities.
“Keturu ranyisi mag yore; keturu gik matayo ji. Paruru yore moriere, yorno miluwo. Duogi, yaye Israel ma nyako ngili, duogi e dalau.
22 How long wilt thou goe astray, O thou rebellious daughter? for the Lord hath created a newe thing in the earth: A WOMAN shall compasse a man.
Nyaka karangʼo ma ibiro bayo, yaye nyako maonge adiera? Jehova Nyasaye enochwe gima nyien e piny, dhako nokwak dichwo.”
23 Thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Yet shall they say this thing in the land of Iudah, and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring againe their captiuitie, The Lord blesse thee, O habitation of iustice and holy mountaine.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: “Kagologi gia e twech, joma ni e piny Juda kod dalagi noti gi wechegi kendo ni: ‘Jehova Nyasaye ogwedhu, yaye kar dak maler, yaye got mowal.’
24 And Iudah shall dwell in it, and all the cities thereof together, the husbandmen and they that goe foorth with the flocke.
Ji nodag kaachiel e kanyakla ei Juda kod miechgi duto, jopur kod jogo mawuotho ka gi kacha gi jambgi.
25 For I haue saciate the wearie soule, and I haue replenished euery sorowfull soule.
Anami joma ool teko kendo joma chunygi onyosore anajiw.”
26 Therefore I awaked and behelde, and my sleepe was sweete vnto me.
Kuom mani ne achiewo kendo ne angʼiyo alworana. To nindo mara nobedona mamit.
27 Beholde, the dayes come, saith the Lord, that I will sowe the house of Israel, and the house of Iudah with the seede of man and with the seede of beast.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Ndalo biro ma anapidhe od Israel kod od Juda gi koth ji kod mar le.
28 And like as I haue watched vpon them, to plucke vp and to roote out, and to throw downe, and to destroy, and to plague them, so wil I watch ouer them, to build and to plant them, saith ye Lord.
Mana kaka ne angʼiyogi mondo apudhgi kendo kethogi, mondo awitgi oko ka atiekogi kendo kelonegi chandruok, anaritgi mondo agergi kendo pidhogi,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
29 In those dayes shall they say no more, The fathers haue eaten a sowre grape, and the childrens teeth are set on edge.
“E ndalono ji ok nochak owach kendo niya, “‘Wuone osechamo olembe ma wach-wach, to leke nyithindo ema tho.’
30 But euery one shall die for his owne iniquitie: euery man that eateth the sowre grape, his teeth shalbe set on edge.
Makmana, ngʼato ka ngʼato notho nikech richone owuon; ngʼato angʼata mochano olemo ma wach-wach, lake owuon ema notho.”
31 Beholde, the dayes come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new couenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Iudah,
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Kinde biro ma anatim singruok manyien gi dhood jo-Israel kod dhood jo-Juda.
32 Not according to ye couenant that I made with their fathers, when I tooke them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, the which my couenant they brake, although I was an husband vnto them, saith the Lord.
Singruokno ok nochal gi mano mane atimo gi kweregi, kane amako lwetgi mi atelonegi kagologi e piny Misri, nikech negiketho singruokna, kata obedo nine an chworgi,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.
33 But this shall be the couenant that I will make with the house of Israel, After those dayes, saith the Lord, I will put my Lawe in their inward partes, and write it in their hearts, and wil be their God, and they shalbe my people.
“Ma e singruok ma anatim gi dhood jo-Israel bangʼ ndalogo,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho. “Abiro keto chikena e pachgi kendo ndikogi e chunygi. Anabed Nyasachgi kendo ginibed joga.
34 And they shall teach no more euery man his neighbour and euery man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me from the least of them vnto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I wil forgiue their iniquitie, and will remember their sinnes no more.
Koro ngʼato ok nochak opuonj jabathe, kata nyawadgi kowacho ni, ‘Ngʼe Jehova Nyasaye,’ nikech giduto giningʼeya, kochakore ngʼat matinie moloyo nyaka ngʼat maduongʼie moloyo,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho. “Nimar anawenegi timbegi maricho kendo ok anachak apar richogi kendo.”
35 Thus saith the Lord, which giueth the sunne for a light to the day, and the courses of the moone and of the starres for a light to the night, which breaketh the sea, when the waues thereof roare: his Name is the Lord of hostes.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho, ngʼatno mayiero chiengʼ mondo orieny godiechiengʼ, machiko dwe gi sulwe mondo orieny gotieno, mamiyo apaka mag nam ruto, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego e nyinge:
36 If these ordinances depart out of my sight, saith the Lord, then shall the seede of Israel cease from being a nation before me, for euer.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Mana ka chikegi olal e wangʼa, e kaka nyikwa Israel nowe bedo oganda e nyima.”
37 Thus saith the Lord, If the heauens can be measured, or the fundations of the earth be searched out beneath, then wil I cast off all the seed of Israel, for all that they haue done, saith the Lord.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Kane ni polo malo inyalo pim kendo mise mar piny inyalo many, eka anakwed nyikwa Israel nikech gigo duto magisetimo,” Jehova Nyasaye wacho.
38 Behold, the dayes come, saith the Lord, that the citie shalbe built to the Lord from the tower of Hananeel, vnto the gate of the corner.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Kinde biro, ma dala maduongʼ ibiro gerona kendo, kochakore Kar Ngʼicho Motingʼore gi Malo mar Hananel nyaka e Dhoranga Kona.
39 And the line of the measure shall go foorth in his presence vpon the hil Gareb, and shall compasse about to Goath.
Tond pimo norie kochakore kanyo tir nyaka e got matin mar Gareb bangʼe ogomo kochiko Goa.
40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields vnto the brooke of Kidron, and vnto the corner of the horsegate toward the East, shalbe holy vnto the Lord, neither shall it be plucked vp nor destroyed any more for euer.
Holono duto mopongʼ gi ringre joma otho kendo kama ipuke buru, kod kuonde duto mokuny duto, nodhi e Holo mar Kidron man yo wuok chiengʼ mochopo nyaka e kona ma Dhoranga Faras, nobed maler ne Jehova Nyasaye. Dala maduongʼni ok nomuki kata kethi.”
