Jeremiah 8
1 At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:
“‘Jehova Nyasaye wacho ni e kindego, choke mag ruodhi kod jotelo mag Juda, choke mag jodolo kod jonabi, kendo choke mag jo-Jerusalem nogol oko e liete mag-gi.
2 And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for refuse upon the face of the earth.
Chokego noyar oko e nyim chiengʼ gi dwe kod sulwe duto manie polo mane gihero kendo tiyonegi ma bende negiluwo bangʼ-gi ka gipenjo rieko kendo lamogi. Ok nochokgi kata ikgi, to ginichal ka owuoyo manie lowo.
3 And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the remnant of them that remain of this evil family, who remain in all the places where I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.
Kamoro amora ma ariembogi ka aterogie, to jogo duto motony mar oganda marachni noher tho kar ngima, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho kamano.’
4 Moreover thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not rise? shall he turn away, and not return?
“Wachnegi ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “‘Ka ji opodho mogore piny donge gia malo? Ka ngʼato oa, donge odwogo?
5 Why then hath this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
Marangʼo jogi ongʼanyo oa? Angʼo momiyo Jerusalem siko ringo? Gimoko kuom miriambo; gitamore duogo.
6 I hearkened and heard, but they spoke not aright: no man repented of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth to the battle.
Asechiko ita malongʼo, to ok giwach gima adier. Onge ngʼama lokore weyo kuom timbegi mamono, kopenjo niya, “En angʼo ma asetimo?” Moro ka moro luwo yore owuon ka faras madhi e lweny.
7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtledove and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.
Kata mana nyamnaha manie kor polo ongʼeyo kindene moketne, kendo akuch odugla, opija gi ongo-wangʼ bende ongʼeyo ndalo mar dargi. To joga ok ongʼeyo dwach Jehova Nyasaye.
8 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain he hath made it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
“‘Ere kaka inyalo wacho niya, “Wariek, nimar wan gi chik mar Jehova Nyasaye,” ka gadiera kalamb miriambo mar jondiko osetiyo kode e yor miriambo?
9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
Jomariek nokuod wigi; ginibed gi luoro mangʼeny kendo enomakgi. Nimar gisedagi wach Jehova Nyasaye, en rieko manade ma gin godo?
10 Therefore will I give their wives to others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even to the priest every one dealeth falsely.
Emomiyo anachiw mondegi ne joma moko kendo puothegi ne jomanyien. Kochakore kuom ngʼat matin nyaka ngʼat maduongʼ, giduto giwuor ne yudo ohala; jonabi gi jodolo machalre, giduto gitimo timbe wuondruok.
11 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
Githiedho adhonde mag joga mana ka gima ok en gima lich. Giwacho niya, “Kwe, kwe,” kata kwe onge.
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their punishment they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
Donge wigi kuot gi timbegi mamono? Ooyo, gionge wichkuot kata matin; bende gionge leny kata wichkuot. Omiyo ginipodhi e dier joma opodho; enolwargi piny ka ikumogi, Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
13 I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given to them shall pass away from them.
“‘Anakaw nyak mag-gi. Onge olemo manobedi e mzabibu. Onge olemb ngʼowu manobedi ewi yath, kendo itgi noner. Gima asemiyogi nomagi.’” An Jehova Nyasaye ema asewacho kamano.
14 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
Angʼo momiyo wabet ka? Chokreuru kaachiel! Waringuru wadhi e mier madongo mochiel motegno gohinga kendo watho kuno! Nimar Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachwa osejwangʼowa mondo watho, kendo osemiyowa pi moketie sum mondo wamodhi, nikech wasetimo richo e nyime.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
Ne wageno kwe to onge ber mosebiro, bende ne wageno kinde mag chang, to ne nitie mana thagruok.
16 The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they have come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell in it.
Giro mar farese mag wasigu iwinjo koa Dan; kendo ywak farese mathuondi miyo piny tetni. Gibiro tieko piny duto kod gik moko manie iye, dala maduongʼ kod ji duto modak kanyo.
17 For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.
“Ne, anaor thuol man-gi kwiri e dieru, thuonde mager ma ok bo, kendo gini kau.” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
18 When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.
Yaye Jahochna e lit, chunya ool.
19 Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a distant country: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with foreign vanities?
Winj ywak joga koa e piny man mabor: “Donge Jehova Nyasaye ni Sayun? Ruodhe bende pod ni kuno adier?” “Angʼo momiyo gisemiya ich wangʼ gigigo ma giloso, kod nyisechegi mag pinje mamoko?”
20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
“Ndalo keyo kod ndalo oro osekalo, to ok wakonyore.”
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me.
Nimar joga osehiny, an bende ahinyora; aywak kendo luoro omaka.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
Yath tinde orumo Gilead koso? Jathieth tinde onge kanyo koso? Kare ere gima omiyo adhond joga ok nyal chango?
