Jeremiah 9
1 Oh, that mine head were full of water and mine eyes a fountaine of teares, that I might weepe day and night for the slayne of the daughter of my people.
Yaye, mad wiya bed ka soko mar pi kendo pi wangʼa mol ka aora! Dwaywak odiechiengʼ kod otieno nikech nek mar joga.
2 Oh, that I had in the wildernes a cottage of wayfaring men, that I might leaue my people, and go from them: for they be all adulterers and an assembly of rebels,
Yaye, mad ne abed gi kar nindo michulo ne jowuoth e piny ongoro, mondo omi awe joga kendo adhi mabor kodgi; nimar giduto gin jochode, kanyakla mar joma onge adiera.
3 And they bende their tongues like their bowes for lyes: but they haue no courage for the trueth vpon the earth: for they proceede from euill to worse, and they haue not knowen mee, sayth the Lord.
“Giketo lewgi moikore ka atungʼ, mondo gidirgo miriambo; to dhigi maber e piny ok nikech giwacho adiera. Gitimo richo bangʼ moro ka moro; ok gidewa.” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.
4 Let euery one take heede of his neighbour, and trust you not in any brother: for euery brother will vse deceite, and euery friend will deale deceitfully,
“Beduru motangʼ gosiepeu; kik uket genou kuom oweteu. Nimar oweteu duto jo-miriambo, kendo osiep moro amora jakwoth.
5 And euery one wil deceiue his friende, and wil not speake the trueth: for they haue taught their tongues to speake lies, and take great paynes to do wickedly.
Osiep wuondo osiep, kendo onge ngʼama wacho adiera. Gisepuonjo lewgi wacho miriambo; kendo gisedonjo matut e richo ma ok ginyal wuokie.
6 Thine habitation is in the middes of deceiuers: because of their deceit they refuse to know me, sayth the Lord.
Idak e kind jo-miriambo; e wuondruokgino gisedagi yie kuoma.” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.
7 Therefore thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Behold, I wil melt them, and trie them: for what should I els do for the daughter of my people?
Emomiyo ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho: “Ne, abiro pwodhogi kendo temogi, nimar en angʼo machielo manyalo timo, nikech richo mar joga?
8 Their tongue is as an arow shot out, and speaketh deceite: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in his heart hee layeth waite for him.
Lewgi en asere man-gi kwiri; owacho miriambo. Gi dhoge owuoyo mamuol ne jabathe, to e chunye oketone obadho.”
9 Shal I not visit them for these things, saith the Lord? or shall not my soule be auenged on such a nation as this?
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Donge dakumgi ne ma? Donge dachul kuor ne oganda ma kama?”
10 Vpon the mountaines will I take vp a weeping and a lamentation, and vpon the fayre places of the wildernes a mourning, because they are burnt vp: so that none can passe through them, neyther can men heare the voyce of the flocke: both the foule of the aire, and the beast are fled away and gone.
Abiro ywak kendo dengo ne gode bende anaywag lege motwo, mosedongʼ nono, kendo onge gima wuothoe, bende ywak mar jamni ok winjie. Winy mafuyo e kor polo oseringo, kendo le osedhi.
11 And I wil make Ierusalem an heape, and a den of dragons, and I will make the cities of Iudah waste, without an inhabitant.
“Anami Jerusalem obed gunda, kama ondiegi ema odakie; kendo anaketh mier mag Juda mondo ngʼato kik dag kanyo.”
12 Who is wise, to vnderstande this? and to whome the mouth of the Lord hath spoken, euen he shall declare it. Why doth the land perish, and is burnt vp like a wildernesse, that none passeth through?
En ngʼa mariek manyalo winjo tiend ma? En ngʼa mosetiegi gi Jehova Nyasaye kendo nyalo lero tiende? Angʼo momiyo piny osekethi modongʼ nono ka kama otwo maonge ngʼama nyalo luwo?
13 And the Lord sayeth, Because they haue forsaken my Lawe, which I set before them, and haue not obeyed my voice, neither walked thereafter,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Nikech gisejwangʼo chikna, mane amiyogi; omiyo ok giseluora kata luwo chikna.
14 But haue walked after the stubbernesse of their owne heart, and after Baalims, which their fathers taught them,
To giseluwo mana timbegi mag wich teko; bende giseluwo bangʼ Baal, mana kaka wuonegi nopuonjogi.”
15 Therefore thus sayth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Behold, I will feede this people with wormewood, and giue them waters of gall to drinke:
Emomiyo, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: “Ne, anami jogi cham chiemo makech kendo modh pi sum.
16 I wil scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers haue knowen, and I will send a sworde after them, til I haue consumed them.
Anakegi e dier ogendini ma gin kata wuonegi ok ongʼeyo, kendo analawgi gi ligangla manyaka atiekgi.”
17 Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes, Take heede, and call for the mourning women, that they may come, and send for skilfull women that they may come,
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho: “Parane! Luonguru mon madengo mondo obi; to moloyo mago man-gi lony mamalo e ywak.
18 And let them make haste, and let them take vp a lamentation for vs, that our eyes may cast out teares and our eye liddes gush out of water.
Giret piyo mondo gidengnwa, nyaka wengewa pongʼ gi pi wangʼ ma oo kendo pi wangʼwa mol ma luokwa.
19 For a lamentable noyse is heard out of Zion, Howe are we destroyed, and vtterly confounded, for we haue forsaken the land, and our dwellings haue cast vs out.
Koko mar dengo iwinjo koa Sayun: ‘Mano kaka otiekowa! Mano kaka wichkuot marwa duongʼ! Nyaka waa e pinywa nikech utewa osemuki.’”
20 Therefore heare the worde of the Lord, O ye women, and let your eares regard the words of his mouth, and teach your daughters to mourne, and euery one her neighbour to lament.
Koro, yaye mon, winjuru wach Jehova Nyasaye; yawuru itu ne weche mawuok e dhoge. Puonjuru nyiu dengo; puonjreuru ywak uwegi.
21 For death is come vp into our windowes, and is entred into our palaces, to destroy the children without, and the yong men in the streetes.
Tho oseidho gie dirisni magwa kendo osedonjo kuondewa mochiel motegno gohinga; osengʼado nyithindo oko e yore kendo rowere e kuonde budho mag galamoro.
22 Speake, thus sayth the Lord, The carkeises of men shall lye, euen as the doung vpon the fielde, and as the handfull after the mower, and none shall gather them.
Wach niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye owacho: “‘Ringre joma otho nopie ka owuoyo e pap alanga, kaka cham mokaa gi jakeyo, maonge ngʼama nyalo chokogi.’”
23 Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisedome, nor the strong man glorie in his strength, neyther the riche man glorie in his riches.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Kik ngʼama riek sungre gi riekone kata ngʼama tek sungre gi tekone, kata ngʼama omewo sungre gi mwandu mage,
24 But let him that glorieth, glorie in this, that he vnderstandeth, and knoweth me: for I am the Lord, which shewe mercie, iudgement, and righteousnes in the earth: for in these things I delite, sayth the Lord.
to ngʼat ma sungore mondo osungre kama: ni ongʼeya, kendo owinja, ni An e Jehova Nyasaye, matimo ngʼwono, kendo mangʼado bura mar adier, kendo matimo gik makare e piny, nikech magi ema amorgo,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.
25 Beholde, the dayes come, sayth the Lord, that I wil visite all them, which are circumcised with the vncircumcised:
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Ndalo biro ma anakumie joma oter nyangu e ringruok kende
26 Egypt and Iudah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all the vtmost corners of them that dwell in the wildernesse: for all these nations are vncircumcised, and al the house of Israel are vncircumcised in the heart.
kaka Misri, Juda, Edom, Amon, Moab gi jogo duto modak kuonde motimo ongoro man maboyo. Nimar ogendinigi duto ok oter nyangu adier, kendo kata od Israel duto bende ok oter nyangu e chunygi.”
