Jeremiah 42

1 Then drew near all the captains of the forces, and Johanan son of Kareah and Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, —and all the people from the least even unto the greatest;

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 unto Jeremiah the prophet—Let our supplication we beseech thee fall prostrate before thee, and pray thou in our behalf unto Yahweh thy God, in behalf of all this remnant, —for we are left a few out of many, just as thine own eyes do behold 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 Yahweh thy God may tell us the way wherein we should walk, —and the thing that we should do.

Lem mondo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi onyiswa kuma wanyalo dhiyoe kendo gima wanyalo timo.”

4 And Jeremiah the prophet, said unto them, I have heard; behold me! praying unto Yahweh your God according to your words, —and it shall come to pass that the whole thing that Yahweh shall answer you, I will tell you, I will keep back from you, nothing.

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 They, therefore said unto Jeremiah, Yahweh be against us, as a witness true and faithful, —if according to all the word which Yahweh thy God shall send thee unto us, so we do not perform:

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 for good or for ill, unto the voice of Yahweh our God for which we are sending thee unto him, will we hearken, —to the end it may be well with us, because we will hearken unto the voice of Yahweh 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 And it came to pass at the end of ten days, that the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah.

Bangʼ ndalo apar wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Jeremia.

8 Then called he for Johanan son of Kareah, and for all the princes of the forces who were with him—and for all the people from the least even unto the greatest;

Omiyo noluongo Johanan wuod Karea kod jotend lweny mane ni kode kod ji duto chakre matin nyaka maduongʼ.

9 and said unto them, Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel—unto whom ye sent me, to cause your supplication to fall prostrate before him: —

Nowachonegi niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, mane uora ire mondo aterne kwayou, wacho:

10 If ye will indeed abide, in this land, then will I build you up, and not pull [you] down, and plant you and not uproot [you], —for I have compassion as touching the calamity which I have caused you.

‘Ka idak e pinyni, anageru kendo ok anatieku; anapidhu to ok pudhou oko, nimar asebedo gi lit kuom masiche masekelo kuomu.

11 Do not fear the face of the king of Babylon, of whose face ye are afraid, —do not fear him, Urgeth Yahweh, for with you, am I, to save you, and to deliver you out of his hand:

Kik uluor ruodh Babulon, makoro uluoro. Kik uluore, Jehova Nyasaye wacho, nimar an kodu kendo anaresu ua e lwetene.

12 that I may grant you compassions and he may have compassion upon you, —and suffer you to return unto your own soil.

Anatimnu ngʼwono mondo omi en bende ongʼwonnu kendo odwoku e pinyu.’

13 But, since ye are saying, —We will not dwell in this land, —nor hearken unto the voice of Yahweh your God:

“To ka uwacho, ‘Ok wanadagie pinyni,’ mamano mi ubed ma ok uluoro Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu,

14 saying, —No! for, into the land of Egypt, will we go, where we shall not see war, nor the sound of a horn, shall we hear, —nor for bread, shall we be famished, —there, then will we 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, for this cause, hear ye the word of Yahweh, O remnant of Judah, —Thus! saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, —If, ye do indeed set your faces to enter Egypt and do enter to sojourn 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 shall it come to pass that the sword which ye are fearing shall, there, overtake you, in the land of Egypt, —and the famine which ye are dreading, shall, there, lay fast hold of you, in Egypt, and, there, shall ye die.

to ngʼeuru ni ligangla ma uluoro nomaku, kendo kech mabwogou noluu nyaka Misri, kendo kanyo ema unuthoe.

17 So shall it be with all the men who have set their faces to enter Egypt to sojourn there, they shall die by sword, by famine or by pestilence, —and they shall have neither survival nor escape, from the face of the calamity which I am about to bring in upon 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—Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, —Just as mine anger and mine indignation have been poured out upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall mine indignation be poured out upon you when ye enter into Egypt, —thus shall ye become a curse, and an astonishment and a contempt and a reproach, and ye shall no more see this place.

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 Yahweh hath spoken concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah, Do not enter into Egypt: Know certainly, that I have taken you to witness to-day.

“Yaye jo-Juda modongʼ, Jehova Nyasaye osenyisou ni, ‘Kik udhi Misri.’ Beduru gadiera kuom ma: Asiemou kawuono

20 For ye have deceived yourselves at the cost of your lives, for, ye yourselves, sent me unto Yahweh your God, saying, —Pray thou in our behalf, unto Yahweh our God, —and according to all that Yahweh our God shall say, so, tell 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 Therefore have I told you to-day, —and yet ye have not hearkened unto the voice of Yahweh your God, even in any thing for which he hath sent me unto you.

Asewachonu kawuono, to pod ok uluoro Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu kuom gigo duto mane oora mondo anyisu.

22 Now, therefore, know ye certainly, that by sword, by famine, or by pestilence, shall ye die, —in the place whither ye have desired to go, to sojourn.

Omiyo koro, beduru gadieri kuom ma: Nonegu gi ligangla, kech kod masira kuma udwaro dhiye mondo udagie.”
