< Jeremiah 48 >

1 Of Moab. Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Woe to Nebo! For it is laid waste. Kiriathaim is put to shame; it is taken. Misgab is put to shame and broken down.
Pa inge ma LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk ke acn Moab: “Pakomuta mwet Nebo, Siti selos uh kunausyukla! Sruoh tari siti Kiriathaim, Pot kulana we ikruiyuki, Ac mwet we akmwekinyeyuk;
2 The praise of Moab is no more. In Heshbon they have devised evil against her: Come, and let us cut her off from being a nation. Thou also, O madmen, shall be brought to silence. The sword shall pursue thee.
Oasku lun Moab wanginla. Mwet lokoalok elos sruokya acn Heshbon Ac akoo in sukela mutunfacl Moab nufon. Ac fah wanginla pusra lohngyuk in siti Madmen; Un mwet mweun ac fah mukuiyak in mweuni.
3 The sound of a cry from Horonaim: Desolation and great destruction!
Mwet in acn Horonaim wowoyak ac fahk, “Yoklana mwe lokoalok! Yoklana mwe ongoiya!”
4 Moab is destroyed. Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
“Sikiyukla acn Moab. Lohng ke tulik uh tung.
5 For they shall go up by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping, for at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.
Lohng pusren mwemelil lalos Ke elos ututyak innek nu Luhith, Ac tung in ongoiya lalos Ke elos tufokla ke innek nu Horonaim.
6 Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.
Elos fahk, ‘Sulaklak, kaing! Suk moul lowos! Kasrusr oana soko donkey lemnak yen mwesis!’
7 For, because thou have trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou also shall be taken. And Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his rulers together.
“Moab, kom filiya lulalfongi lom in ku lom ac mwe kasrup lom, Tusruktu, kom ac fah kutangyukla. Chemosh, god lom, fah utukla nu in sruoh, Wi fisrak ac mwet tol lal.
8 And the destroyer shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape. The valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as Jehovah has spoken.
Siti nukewa ac fah kunausyukla; Infahlfal uh ac acn tupasrpasr ac fah sikiyukla pac. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
9 Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get her away. And her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell therein.
Tulokunak sie eot in kulyuk lun acn Moab. Ac tia paht el musalla. Siti we ac fah filfilla in kulawi, Ac wangin mwet fah sifilpa muta we.” (
10 Cursed be he who does the work of Jehovah negligently, and cursed be he who keeps back his sword from blood.
Selngawiyuk mwet se su tia oru orekma lun LEUM GOD ke insial nufon! Selngawiyuk mwet se su sruokya cutlass natul in tia aksororye srah!)
11 Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his lees, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, nor has he gone into captivity. Therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Oemeet me acn Moab oanna okak — soenna utukla nu in sruoh. Moab el oana wain ma filiyuki in oan sraholu — tia mokleyuk ku okwok liki sufa nu ke sufa, pwanang emah uh, ac fohlo, tia ekla; oanna wo.
12 Therefore, behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that I will send to him those who pour off, and they shall pour him off. And they shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles in pieces.
“Tusruktu pacl se ac tuku ke nga fah supwala mwet in okoala acn Moab oana wain. Elos fah okoala nwe ke lisr, ac elos fah fukulya sufa uh nu ke ip sririk.
13 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
Na mwet Moab ac fah tia sifil lulalfongel Chemosh, god lalos, oana ke mwet Israel tuh fuhleak lulalfongi lalos kacl Bethel, sie god elos tuh lulalfongi meet.
14 How can ye say, We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war?
“Mukul Moab, efu kowos ku fahk mu kowos mwet mweun watwen, Mwet pulaik ac fokoko ke mweun?
15 Moab is laid waste, and they have gone up into his cities. And his chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter, says the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts.
Moab ac siti we kunausyukla; Mukul fusr pisrla we anwuki. Nga pa tokosra, LEUM GOD Kulana, Ac nga pa fahk ma inge.
16 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hastens fast.
Mwe ongoiya lulap apkunme in sun acn Moab; Mwe keok lal uh ac sa na sikyak.
17 All ye who are round about him, bemoan him, and all ye who know his name, say, How the strong staff has broken, the beautiful rod!
“Tungi mutunfacl sac, kowos su muta apkuran, Kowos nukewa su etu pungal. Fahk mu, ‘Ku lun tokosrai lal musalla; Wolana ac ku lal wanginla.’
18 O thou daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst, for the destroyer of Moab has come up against thee. He has destroyed thy strongholds.
Kowos su muta Dibon, Tufokme liki acn fulat suwos Ac muta fin fohk uh in kutkut uh. Mwet se ma ac kunausla Moab oasr inge, El kunausla tari pot ku we.
19 O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and watch. Ask him who flees, and her who escapes. Say, What has been done?
Kowos su muta Aroer, Tu sisken inkanek uh ac soano. Siyuk selos su kaing Lah mea sikyak.
20 Moab is put to shame, for it is broken down. Wail and cry, tell ye it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.
Na elos ac topuk, ‘Acn Moab ikori. Kowos in tungi, mweyen Moab el arulana tonongla. Sulkakinelik pe Infacl Arnon Lah Moab sikiyukla!’
21 And judgment has come upon the plain country: upon Holon, and upon Jahzah, and upon Mephaath,
“Nununku tuku tari nu fin siti inge su oan yen tupasrpasr: Holon, Jahzah, Mephaath,
22 and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim,
Dibon, Nebo, Beth Diblathaim,
23 and upon Kiriathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon,
Kiriathaim, Bethgamul, Bethmeon,
24 and upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
Kerioth, ac Bozrah. Nununku tuku nu fin siti nukewa in acn Moab, loes ac apkuran.
25 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, says Jehovah.
Ku lun Moab itungyuki; kufwen mwe mweun lal kipatpatu. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
26 Make ye him drunken, for he magnified himself against Jehovah. And Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Oru acn Moab in sruhila, mweyen el utuk nunak lainyu. Moab el fah ipippip in woht lal sifacna, ac mwet uh ac isrunul.
27 For was not Israel a derision to thee? Was he found among thieves? For as often as thou speak of him, thou wag the head.
Moab, kom esam ke kom aksruksruki mwet Israel? Kom lumahlos oana un mwet ingunyar.
28 O ye inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of an abyss.
“Kowos su muta in Moab, tuyak som liki siti suwos ac muta fin fulu uh, oana wuleoa ma oru ahng lalos sisken acn oatu in eot uh.
29 We have heard of the pride of Moab, that he is very proud, his loftiness, and his pride, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.
Moab el arulana inse fulat! Nga lohng luman filang, enum ac ekak lun mwet we, ac lah elos arulana nunku kaclos sifacna.
30 I know his wrath, says Jehovah, that it is nothing. His boastings have wrought nothing.
Nga, LEUM GOD, etu ke tungak lalos. Konkin lalos uh wanginna sripa, ac ma elos oru ac tiana oan paht.
31 Therefore I will wail for Moab, yea, I will cry out for all Moab. For they shall mourn the men of Kir-heres.
Ke ma inge nga fah tungi mwet nukewa in acn Moab, oayapa ke mwet Kir Heres.
32 With more than the weeping of Jazer I will weep for thee, O vine of Sibmah. Thy branches passed over the sea. They reached even to the sea of Jazer. The destroyer has fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.
Nga fah tungi mwet Jazer, ac nga ac tungi mwet Sibmah yohk liki. Siti Sibmah, kom oana oa in grape soko ma lah kac tupalla sun Meoa Misa, ac som pacna nwe Jazer. Tusruktu inge grape sunom ac fokinsak lom ke pacl fol uh sikiyukla.
33 And gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab. And I have caused wine to cease from the winepresses. None shall tread with shouting. The shouting shall be no shouting.
Wanginla pusren engan ac insewowo in facl Moab, sie acn ma wo fohk we. Nga tulokinya wain in tia soror liki nien orek wain. Wanginna mwet in fut grape uh, oru wangin sasa ke engan.
34 From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz they have uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath-shelishiyah. For the waters of Nimrim also shall become desolate.
“Mwet Heshbon ac Elealeh wowoyak tung, ac pusralos ku in lohngyuk oe Jahaz. Ku in lohngyuk pac sin mwet Zoar, ac lohngyuk pac e Horonaim ac Eglath Shelishiyah. Finne infacl srisrik Nimrim, paola pac.
35 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, says Jehovah, him who offers in the high place, and him who burns incense to his gods.
Nga fah tulokinya mwet Moab liki orek mwe kisa firir ke acn in alu lalos, ac liki orek kisa nu sin god lalos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
36 Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like pipes, and my heart sounds like pipes for the men of Kir-heres. Therefore the abundance that he has gotten is perished.
“Ouinge insiuk eoksra kacl Moab ac ke mwet Kir Heres, oana sie mwet su oru on in pukmas ke mwe ukuk natul, mweyen ma nukewa lalos wanginla.
37 For every head is bald, and every beard clipped. Upon all the hands are cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.
Ke sripen asor lalos, elos nukewa mangsrasrala ac kalla altalos. Elos nukewa sipik paolos, ac nukum nuknuk yohk eoa.
38 On all the housetops of Moab and in the streets thereof there is lamentation everywhere. For I have broken Moab like a vessel of which none delights, says Jehovah.
Fin lohm nukewa Moab ac ke nien toeni nukewa, wangin ma orek sayen eoksra, mweyen nga fukulya acn Moab oana soko sufa fukulyuki ma wangin mwet enenu.
39 How it is broken down! How they do wail! How Moab has turned the back with shame! So Moab shall become a derision and a horror to all who are round about him.
Kowos in wowoyak ke tung, mweyen acn Moab fukulyuki ac akmwekinyeyuk. El kunanula ac mutunfacl nukewa raunelak israsrinkusrael. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
40 For thus says Jehovah: Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread out his wings against Moab.
LEUM GOD El wulela mu sie mutunfacl ac fah tuhwi nu fin Moab, oana sie eagle ma asroelik posohksok lal,
41 Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized, and the heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
na siti ac pot ku nukewa ac fah sruoh. In len sac mwet mweun lun Moab ac fah arulana sangeng, oana sie mutan ke pacl in isus lal.
42 And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against Jehovah.
Moab ac sikiyuk tuh in tia sifilpa sie mutunfacl, mweyen el likkeke lainyu.
43 Fear and the pit and the snare are upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, says Jehovah.
Sangeng, ac luf, ac sruhf oan soano mwet Moab. LEUM GOD pa fahk ma inge.
44 He who flees from the fear shall fall into the pit, and he who gets up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare. For I will bring upon him, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, says Jehovah.
Kutena mwet su srike in kaingla liki mwe aksangeng inge fah putatyang nu in luf uh, ac kutena mwet su fanyak liki luf uh, ac fah sremla ke sruhf, mweyen LEUM GOD El oakiya tari pacl in kalyei nu sin Moab.
45 Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon. For a fire has gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and has devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
Mwet uh kaing in suk molela in acn Heshbon, siti se ma Tokosra Sihon el tuh leumi meet, tusruktu firiryak acn we. E uh esukak mangon eol ac masrol lun acn sin mwet Moab su lungsena orek mweun.
46 Woe to thee, O Moab! The people of Chemosh is undone, for thy sons are taken away captive, and thy daughters into captivity.
Pakomuta mwet Moab! Kunausyukla mwet ma alu nu sel Chemosh, ac utukla wen ac acn natulos nu in sruoh.
47 Yet I will bring back the captivity of Moab in the latter days, says Jehovah. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
Tusruktu sie len, LEUM GOD El ac fah sifil akwoyeak acn Moab. LEUM GOD El fahk lah ma inge nukewa ac sikyak nu ke acn Moab.
