Jeremiah 16

1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:

Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona:

2 Thou dost not take to thee a wife, Nor hast thou sons and daughters in this place.

“Kik ikendi mondo kik inywol yawuowi kata nyiri ka.”

3 For thus said Jehovah, Of the sons and of the daughters who are born in this place, And of their mothers — those bearing them, And of their fathers — those begetting them in this land:

Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho kuom yawuowi gi nyiri monywol e pinyni kendo kuom mon ma minegi kod chwo ma wuonegi:

4 Of painful deaths they die, They are not lamented, nor are they buried, For dung on the face of the ground they are, And by sword and by famine are consumed, And their carcase hath been for food To the fowl of the heavens, And to the beast of the earth.

“Ginitho gi tuoche maricho richo. Ok nogo nduchgi kata ik bende ok noikgi, to ginichal ka owuoyo manie lowo. Ligangla kod kech noneg-gi, to ringregi nobed chiemb winy mafuyo e kor polo kod le manie piny.”

5 For thus said Jehovah: Do not enter the house of a mourning-feast, Nor go to lament nor bemoan for them, For I have removed My peace from this people, An affirmation of Jehovah, The kindness and the mercies.

Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Kik idonj e ot mantiere chiemb liel; kik iywagi bende kik ikechgi, nikech asegolo gwethna, herana kod ngʼwonona kuom jogi.

6 And died have great and small in this land, They are not buried, and none lament for them, Nor doth any cut himself, nor become bald for them.

Joma iwuoro to gi ji ajiya notho e pinyni. Ok noikgi kendo ok noywag-gi, bende onge ngʼama nongʼad dende kata lielo wiye nikech gin.

7 Nor do they deal out to them for mourning, To comfort him concerning the dead, Nor cause them to drink a cup of consolations For his father and for his mother.

Onge ngʼama nochiw chiemo mondo oogo joma goyo nduch joma otho kata mana newuoro kata miyo bende onge ngʼama nomigi math mondo oogi.

8 A house of banqueting thou dost not enter, To sit with them, to eat and to drink,

“Kendo kik idonj e ot mantiere nyasi ma ibed piny mondo ichiem kendo metho.

9 For thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am causing to cease from this place, Before your eyes, and in your days, The voice of joy, and the voice of rejoicing, The voice of bridegroom and voice of bride.

Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: E ndalo ngimau kendo ka uneno anatiek koko mar ilo kae kod wende mag nyako midhi kendi kod wuowi madhi kendo.

10 And it hath come to pass when thou declarest to this people all these words, and they have said unto thee, 'For what hath Jehovah spoken against us all this great evil? yea, what [is] our iniquity, and what our sin, that we have sinned against Jehovah our God?'

“Ka inyiso jogi gigi duto to gipenji ni, ‘Angʼo momiyo Jehova Nyasaye osechikonwa masira malich ka ma? Angʼo ma wasetimo marach? Richo mane ma wasetimo ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa?’

11 Then thou hast said unto them: Because that your fathers have forsaken Me, An affirmation of Jehovah, And go after other gods, and serve them, And they bow themselves to them, And Me have forsaken, and My law not kept,

Eka iwachnegi ni Jehova Nyasaye owacho ni, ‘Nikech wuoneu nojwangʼa, mi giluwo bangʼ nyiseche manono mi gitiyonegi kendo lamogi. Ne gikweda kendo ok girito chikna.

12 Ye also have done evil above your fathers, And lo, ye are walking each after the stubbornness of his evil heart, So as not to hearken unto Me.

To usebedo joma timbegi mono moloyo wuoneu. Ne kaka ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu luwo timbe manono mag chuny kar mondo gilwora.

13 And I have cast you from off this land, On to a land that ye have not known, Ye and your fathers, And ye have served there other gods by day and by night, Where I do not give to you grace.

Kuom mano, anawitu oko mar pinyni nyaka e piny ma un kata wuoneu ok osengʼeyo, kendo kanyo unutine nyiseche moko manono odiechiengʼ gi otieno, nimar ok anangʼwon-nu.’”

14 Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And it is not said any more: 'Jehovah liveth, who brought up The sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,'

Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “Kata kamano, ndalo biro, ma dhano ok nochak owachi ni, ‘Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima, manogolo jo-Israel Misri,’

15 But, 'Jehovah liveth, who brought up The sons of Israel out of the land of the north, And out of all the lands whither He drove them,' And I have brought them back to their land, That I gave to their fathers.

to giniwach ni, ‘Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima, manogolo jo-Israel e piny ma yo nyandwat kendo koa e pinje duto kama ne oseriembogie.’ Nimar anadwog-gi e piny mane amiyo kweregi.”

16 Lo, I am sending for many fishers, An affirmation of Jehovah, And they have fished them, And after this I send for many hunters, And they have hunted them from off every mountain, And from off every hill, and from holes of the rocks.

Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “To anaor jolupo mangʼeny kendo ginimakgi. Bangʼ mano anaor jodwar mangʼeny, kendo ginidwargi e got maduongʼ kod mago matindo kendo e kuonde pondo mokunyore e lwendni.

17 For Mine eyes [are] upon all their ways, They have not been hidden from My face, Nor hath their iniquity been concealed from before Mine eyes.

Wengena ne oneno timbegi duto; ok gipondona, bende richogo ok opondona.

18 And I have recompensed a first — A second time — their iniquity and their sin, Because of their polluting My land, With the carcase of their detestable things, Yea, their abominable things have filled Mine inheritance.

Anachulgi nyadiriyo kuom timbegi mamono kod richo mag-gi, nikech gisenjawo pinya kod gigi mopa maonge ngima kendo gisepongʼo girkeni mara gi nyisechegi manono maonge tich.”

19 O Jehovah, my strength, and my fortress, And my refuge in a day of adversity, Unto Thee nations do come from the ends of earth, And say, Only falsehood did our fathers inherit, Vanity, and none among them is profitable.

Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, in e tekona kod ohingana, kar pondona e ndalo chandruok, in ema ogendini nobi iri koa e tungʼ piny ka tungʼ piny mi giwachi ni, “Wuonewa ne onge gimoro to mana nyiseche manono mag miriambo, nyiseche mopa maonge tich mane ok otimonegi ber moro amora.

20 Doth man make for himself gods, And they — no gods?

Bende ji loso nyisechegi giwegi? Ee, to ok gin nyiseche!”

21 Therefore, lo, I am causing them to know at this time, I cause them to know My hand and My might, And they have known that My name [is] Jehovah!

“Emomiyo anapuonjgi kendo tinendeni anapuonjgi, tekona gi nyalona. Eka giningʼe ni nyinga en Jehova Nyasaye.”
