Jeremiah 4
1 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet Israel, kowos fin lungse forla, kowos forma nu sik. Kowos fin pwaye nu sik ac sisla ma sruloala ma nga srunga ingan,
If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the Lord, return to me: if thou wilt take away thy stumblingblocks out of my sight, thou shalt not be moved.
2 na ac tufah fal kowos in fulahk ke Inek. Mutunfacl nukewa fah siyuk sik in akinsewowoyalos, ac elos fah kaksakinyu.”
And thou shalt swear: As the Lord liveth, in truth, and in judgement, and in justice: and the Gentiles shall bless him, and shall praise him.
3 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet Judah ac Jerusalem, “Akfisrasryeak fohk ke acn ma soenna imaiyuk. Nimet yukwiya fita sunowos inmasrlon kokul uh.
For thus saith the Lord to the men of Juda and Jerusalem: Break up anew your fallow ground, and sow not upon thorns:
4 Kowos mwet Judah ac Jerusalem, kowos in karinganang wuleang su nga, LEUM GOD lowos, orala inmasrlok ac kowos, ac kowos in sifacna kisakinkowosme nu sik. Kowos fin tia oru, na kasrkusrak luk ac tayak oana e, ke sripen ma koluk kowos oru. Ac fah firir ac wangin sie ku in konela.”
Be circumcised to the Lord, and take away the foreskins of your hearts, ye men of Juda, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my indignation come forth like fire, and burn, and there be none that can quench it: because of the wickedness of your thoughts.
5 Ukya mwe ukuk in sasla facl sac nufon! Sasa in yohk ac kalem! Fahkang nu sin mwet Judah ac Jerusalem In kaing nu ke siti ma potiyukyak ku.
Declare ye in Juda, and make it heard in Jerusalem: speak, and sound with the trumpet in the land: cry aloud, and say: Assemble yourselves, and let us go into strong cities.
6 Srisrngi inkanek nu Zion! Kaing, kom in moulla! Nimet pahtlac! LEUM GOD El use ongoiya Ac kunausten lulap liki acn epang.
Set up the standard in Sion. Strengthen yourselves, stay not: for I bring evil from the north, and great destruction.
7 Sie su kunausla mutunfacl uh mukuiyak tari, Oana soko lion otyak liki acn in wikwik lal. El tuku in kunausla Judah. Siti lun Judah ac oan musalla, Ac wangin mwet ac muta we.
The lion is come up out of his den, and the robber of nations hath roused himself: he is come forth out of his place, to make thy land desolate: thy cities shall be laid waste, remaining without an inhabitant.
8 Ke ma inge nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa, ac tung ac mwemelil Mweyen kasrkusrak upa lun LEUM GOD Tiana forla liki Judah.
For this gird yourselves with haircloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the Lord is not turned away from us.
9 LEUM GOD El fahk, “In len sac, tokosra ac mwet fulat ac fah wanginla pulaik lalos. Mwet tol ac arulana lut, ac mwet palu ac fah oela.”
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord: That the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes: and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall be amazed.
10 Na nga fahk, “LEUM GOD Fulatlana, kom arulana kiapwela mwet Jerusalem! Kom fahk mu ac fah oasr misla, a cutlass se pa oanna inkwawalos.”
And I said: Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God, hast thou then deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying: You shall have peace: and behold the sword reacheth even to the soul?
11 Pacl se ac tuku ke ac fah fwackyang nu sin mwet Jerusalem lah sie eng na fol ac tuku yen mwesis uh nu yorolos. Ac fah tia sie eng srisrik mwe na okla kulun wheat —
At that time it shall be said to this people, and to Jerusalem: A burning wind is in the ways that are in the desert of the way of the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse.
12 a ac fah sie eng na upa supweyuku sin LEUM GOD. LEUM GOD sifacna pa akkalemye nununku lal nu sin mwet lal.
A full wind from these places shall come to me: and now I will speak my judgments with them.
13 Ngetla liye — mwet lokoalok el tuku oana pukunyeng uh. Chariot in mweun lal oana eng fohru, ac horse natul uh mui liki eagle uh. We nu sesr! Kut ac sikiyukla!
Behold he shall come up as a cloud, and his chariots as a tempest: his horses are swifter than eagles: woe unto us, for we are laid waste.
14 O Jerusalem, ohlla ma koluk liki insiom tuh kom in ku in moul. Kom ac nunku nunak koluk uh nwe ngac?
Wash thy heart from wickedness, O Jerusalem, that thou mayst be saved: how long shall hurtful thoughts abide in thee?
15 Mwet utuk kas tuku Dan me, ac liki fineol in acn Ephraim, in sulkakinelik pweng koluk.
For a voice of one declaring from Dan, and giving notice of the idol from mount Ephraim.
16 Elos tuku in sensenkakin mutunfacl uh, ac in fahk nu sin Jerusalem lah mwet mweun elos tuku liki sie facl loessula. Mwet lokoalok inge fah wowoyak lain siti lun Judah
Say ye to the nations: Behold it is heard in Jerusalem, that guards are coming from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Juda.
17 ac elos fah rauneak Jerusalem oana mwet san elos rauneak ima se, mweyen mwet lal uh orek likkeke lain LEUM GOD. LEUM GOD pa fahk ma inge.
They are set round about her, as keepers of fields: because she hath provoked me to wrath, saith the Lord.
18 Judah, kom sifacna oru ma inge in tuku nu fom. Ouiyen moul lom ac orekma koluk lom pa pwanang keok se inge in fakiskomi sasla insiom.
They ways, and thy devices have brought these things upon thee: this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it hath touched thy heart.
19 Nga waiok! Nga tia ku in muteng waiok se inge! Insiuk kihmkimyak ke sangeng! Nga tia ku in misla. Nga lohng mwe ukuk Ac pusren sasa lun mweun.
My bowels, my bowels are in pain, the senses of my heart are troubled within me, I will not hold my peace, for my soul hath heard the sound of the trumpet, the cry of battle.
20 Mwe ongoiya uh kalkalwen in sun kut; Facl sac nufon sikiyukla. Lohm nuknuk sesr kunausyukla in kitin pacl na. Mwe lisrlisr uh mihsasa uh.
Destruction upon destruction is called for, and all the earth is laid waste: my tents are destroyed on a sudden, and my pavilions in a moment.
21 Nga ac liye flag lun mweun nwe ngac, Ac lohng pusren mwe ukuk putaka?
How long shall I see men fleeing away, how long shall I hear the sound of the trumpet?
22 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet luk elos lalfon; Elos tia eteyu. Elos oana tulik lalfon; Wangin etauk lalos. Elos sasla ke oru ma koluk, A tiana etu in oru ma wo.”
For my foolish people have not known me: they are foolish and senseless children: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
23 Nga ngetla liye faclu — wangin lumah ac wangin koano. Nga ngetak nu yen engyeng uh — wangin kalem we.
I beheld the earth, and lo it was void, and nothing: and the heavens, and there was no light in them.
24 Nga ngetang nu ke eol uh, tuh na kusrusrsrusr, Ac tohktok uh wacwat.
I looked upon the mountains, and behold they trembled: and all the hills were troubled.
25 Nga liye lah wangin mwet. Finne won yen engyeng uh — sohkla wanginla.
I beheld, and lo there was no man: and all the birds of the air were gone.
26 Acn ma imaiyukla ekla yen mwesis. Siti nukewa kunausyukla Ke sripen kasrkusrak upa lun LEUM GOD. (
I looked, and behold Carmel was a wilderness: and all its cities were destroyed at the presence of the Lord, and at the presence of the wrath of his indignation.
27 LEUM GOD El fahk mu faclu nufon ac fah mwesisla ac wangin ma oan fac, tusruktu El fah tia kunausla nufon.)
For thus saith the Lord: All the land shall be desolate, but yet I will not utterly destroy.
28 Faclu ac fah mwemelil; Inkusrao fah lohsrla. LEUM GOD El fahk ma inge, Ac El fah tia ekulla nunak lal. El orala tari sulela lal Ac fah tiana ekla liki.
The earth shall mourn, and the heavens shall lament from above: because I have spoken, I have purposed, and I have not repented, neither am I turned away from it.
29 Ke kusen kasrusr lun un mwet mweun fin horse ac mwet pisr, Mwet nukewa ac kaingla. Kutu ac kaing nu insak uh, Ac kutu ac fanyak nu inmasrlon eot lulap. Siti nukewa ac pisala, Ac wangin mwet ac sifil muta we.
At the voice of the horsemen, and the archers, all the city is fled away; they have entered into thickets and have climbed up the rocks: all the cities are forsaken, and there dwelleth not a man in them.
30 Jerusalem, kom sikiyukla tari! Mwe mea kom in nukum nuknuk srusra? Mwe mea kom in yunikomla ke mwe naweyuk gold ac sang sroal in akkatoye motom? Kom sifacna oru kom in kato ke wangin! Mwet kawuk lom siskomla Ac kena unikomi!
But when thou art spoiled what wilt thou do? though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, and paintest thy eyes with stibic stone, thou shalt dress thyself out in vain: thy lovers have despised thee, they will seek thy life.
31 Nga lohng sie sao, oana pusren sie mutan akola in isus, Oana pusren tung lun sie mutan oswe tulik se oemeet natul. Pa inge tung lun Jerusalem, ke el suk mongol Ac asroelik paol ac fahk, “Nga ac misa! Elos tuku in uniyuwi!”
For I have heard the voice as of a woman in travail, anguishes as of a woman in labor of a child. The voice of the daughter of Sion, dying away, spreading her hands: Woe is me, for my soul hath fainted because of them that are slain.
