< Jeremiah 27 >

1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
E chakruok mar loch Zedekia wuod Josia ruodh Juda, wachni nobiro ne Jeremia koa ir Jehova Nyasaye:
2 Yahweh says to me: “Make bonds and bars, and put them on your neck.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye nowachona: “Los jok gi tol kod lodi moriw kendo ikete e ngʼuti.
3 Then send them to the king of Edom, to the king of Moab, to the king of the children of Ammon, to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah.
Eka ior wach ne ruodhi mag Edom, Moab, Amon, Turo kod Sidon kokalo kuom jombetre mosebiro Jerusalem ir Zedekia ruodh Juda.
4 Give them a command to their masters, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says, “You shall tell your masters:
Migi ote mar jotendgi kendo iwachi ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ma, Nyasach Israel, wacho: “Nyisuru jotendu kama:
5 ‘I have made the earth, the men, and the animals that are on the surface of the earth by my great power and by my outstretched arm. I give it to whom it seems right to me.
Kuom tekona maduongʼ asechweyo piny gi joge kod le duto manie iye, kendo achiwo gigagi ne ngʼato angʼata mahero.
6 Now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant. I have also given the animals of the field to him to serve him.
Koro anachiw pinjeu ne jatichna Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon; anami kata le mag bungu winje.
7 All the nations will serve him, his son, and his son’s son, until the time of his own land comes. Then many nations and great kings will make him their bondservant.
Ogendini duto notine kod wuode kod nyakware ma wuowi nyaka kinde mar pinye chopi; eka pinje mangʼeny kod ruodhi maroteke nokete obed jatichgi.
8 “‘“‘It will happen that I will punish the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon,’ says Yahweh, ‘with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
“‘“Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya: Kapo ni piny kata gwengʼ moro amora ok noti ne Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon kata kulo wiye e bwo jok mare, to anakum pinyno gi ligangla, kech kod masira, nyaka ane ni atieke gi lwete.
9 But as for you, don’t listen to your prophets, to your diviners, to your dreams, to your soothsayers, or to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, “You shall not serve the king of Babylon;”
Omiyo kik uchik itu ne jonabi magu, jokor wach magu, joloknu lek, jo-nyakalondo kata ajuoke magu manyisou ni ok unutine ruodh Babulon.
10 for they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land, so that I would drive you out, and you would perish.
Gikoronu miriambo ma biro miyo idarou mabor gi pinyu; anariembu kendo unutho.
11 But the nation that brings their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serves him, that nation I will let remain in their own land,’ says Yahweh; ‘and they will till it and dwell in it.’”’”
To ka oganda moro amora enokulre e bwo jok mar ruodh Babulon mi otine, to anami ogandano odongʼ e pinye owuon mondo opure kendo mondo odagi kanyo, Jehova Nyasaye owacho.”’”
12 I spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, “Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
Ne amiyo Zedekia ruodh Juda wach achielni. Ne awacho niya, “Kul wiyi e bwo jok mar ruodh Babulon; tine kod joge, to ibiro dak.
13 Why will you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as Yahweh has spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
Angʼo madimi in kod jogi tho e dho ligangla, kech kod masira mano ma Jehova Nyasaye osechano timo ni ogendini ma ok bi tiyone ruodh Babulon?
14 Don’t listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, ‘You shall not serve the king of Babylon;’ for they prophesy a lie to you.
Kik uchik itu ne jonabi mawachonu ni, ‘Ok ubi tiyone ruodh Babulon,’ nimar gikoronu miriambo.
15 For I have not sent them,” says Yahweh, “but they prophesy falsely in my name; that I may drive you out, and that you may perish, you, and the prophets who prophesy to you.”
Jehova Nyasaye wacho ni, ‘Ok aorogi. Gikoro miriambo e nyinga. Emomiyo, anariembu kendo unulal nono, un kaachiel gi jonabi ma koronu.’”
16 Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, Yahweh says, “Don’t listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, ‘Behold, the vessels of Yahweh’s house will now shortly be brought again from Babylon;’ for they prophesy a lie to you.
Eka ne awachone jodolo kod jogi duto niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Kik uchik itu ne jonabi mawacho ni, ‘Machiegnini koro gigo duto moa e od Jehova Nyasaye ibiro duogi koa Babulon.’ Gikoronu miriambo.
17 Don’t listen to them. Serve the king of Babylon, and live. Why should this city become a desolation?
Kik iwinjgi. Tine ruodh Babulon, to inibed mangima. Angʼo momiyo dala maduongʼni nyaka kethi?
18 But if they are prophets, and if Yahweh’s word is with them, let them now make intercession to Yahweh of Armies, that the vessels which are left in Yahweh’s house, in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, don’t go to Babylon.
Ka gin jonabi kendo gin-gi wach Jehova Nyasaye, to mondo gikwa Jehova Nyasaye Maratego gigo mabeyo modongʼ e od Jehova Nyasaye kod e kar dak mar ruodh Juda kod e Jerusalem kik ter Babulon.
19 For Yahweh of Armies says concerning the pillars, concerning the sea, concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,
Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho kuom sirni, Nam, gik minyalo tingʼ kod gik mamoko modongʼ e dala maduongʼni,
20 which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon didn’t take when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem—
mane Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon ne ok okawo sa mane otero Jehoyakin wuod Jehoyakim ruodh Juda e twech kogole Jerusalem nyaka Babulon kaachiel gi joka ruoth moa Juda gi Jerusalem,
21 yes, Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says concerning the vessels that are left in Yahweh’s house, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem:
ee, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho kuom gigo mane odongʼ e od Jehova Nyasaye kendo e kar dak mar ruodh Juda kod e Jerusalem:
22 ‘They will be carried to Babylon, and there they will be, until the day that I visit them,’ says Yahweh; ‘then I will bring them up, and restore them to this place.’”
‘Notergi Babulon kendo kanyo ginidongʼ nyaka odiechiengʼ ma anabi kawogie. Eka anadwog-gi kendo aketgi kae.’” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
