< Jeremiah 25 >

1 This is the message that came to Jeremiah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, son of Josiah, king of Judah, which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. It concerned all the people of Judah.
In yac se akakosr ma Jehoiakim, wen natul Josiah, el tokosra lun Judah, nga eis kas sin LEUM GOD ke mwet Judah. (Ma se inge ma ke yac se oemeet ma Nebuchadnezzar el tuh tokosra lun Babylonia.)
2 So the prophet Jeremiah went and spoke to all the people of Judah and all of the people living in Jerusalem, telling them:
Nga fahk nu sin mwet Judah ac mwet Jerusalem nukewa,
3 From the thirteenth year of the reign of Josiah, son of Amon, king of Judah until now, twenty-three years in total, messages from the Lord have come to me, and I have told you what he said time and again, but you have not listened.
“Ke lusen yac longoul tolu, mutawauk ke yac aktolngoul ma Josiah, wen natul Amon, el tuh tokosra lun Judah, nwe misenge, LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik, ac nga tia tui in fahk ma El fahk uh nu suwos, a kowos tiana porongo.
4 Even though the Lord has sent all his servants the prophets to you time and again, you don't bother to listen or pay any attention.
LEUM GOD El finne kalwenina in supu mwet kulansap lal mwet palu, a kowos tiana lohngolos, ku lohang nu selos.
5 The consistent message has been: Give up your evil ways and the evil things you're doing so you can live in the country that the Lord has given to you and your forefathers forever.
Elos fahk nu suwos in forla liki inkanek koluk kowos moulkin, ac liki orekma koluk kowos oru tuh kowos fah ku in mutana fin facl se su LEUM GOD El sot nu suwos ac mwet matu lowos tuh in ma lowos nwe tok.
6 Don't follow other gods and worship them, and don't anger me by making idols. Then I won't do anything to hurt you.
Elos fahkot kowos in tia alu ac kulansupu god ngia, ac in tia akkasrkusrakye LEUM GOD ke kowos alyalu nu sin ma sruloala ma kowos orala. Kowos funu akos LEUM GOD in pacl sac me, El lukun tia akkeokye kowos.
7 But you've hurt yourselves by not listening to me, declares the Lord, because you angered me by making idols.
Na LEUM GOD El sifacna fahk lah kowos tia lungse lohngol, ac kowos akkasrkusrakyal ke ma sruloala lowos. Ke ma inge kowos sifacna use kalya lal nu fowos.
8 So this is what the Lord Almighty says: Because you have not obeyed what I told you,
“Ouinge LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk, ‘Ke sripen kowos tia porongeyu,
9 watch as I summon all the people of the north, declares the Lord. I'm going to send for my servant Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, to attack this country and the people who live here, and all the surrounding nations. I will set them apart for destruction. I'm going to totally destroy you, and people will be horrified at what's happened to you and will mock you.
nga fah sapla nu sin mwet nukewa in acn epang, ac nu sin mwet kulansap luk, Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia. Nga fah usalosme in mweun lain mwet in acn Judah wi mutunfacl atulani lalos, ac fuhlelosla in oan musalla nwe tok — sie mwe lut ac aksangeng in liyeyuk. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
10 I will also put a stop to the cheerful sounds of celebration and the happy voices of the bride and bridegroom. No noise will come from millstones being used; no lamps will be lit.
Nga ac sikulya sasa in engan ac insewowo, ac pusren engan ke kufwen marut. Ac fah wangin oil nu ke lam lalos, ac wangin pac wheat.
11 This whole country will become an empty wasteland, and Judah and these other nations will serve the king of Babylon for seventy years.
Facl se inge nufon ac fah musallana — sie mwe lut ac mwe aksangeng. Ac mutunfacl atulani uh ac fah kulansupu tokosra lun Babylonia ke yac itngoul.
12 However, when these seventy years are over, I'm going to punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the country of Babylonia, for their sin, declares the Lord. I will completely destroy them.
Tukun pacl se inge nga fah kai acn Babylonia ac tokosra lal ke sripen orekma koluk lalos. Nga fah kunausla mutunfacl sac, ac filiya in oan musalla nwe tok.
13 I will bring down on that country everything I threatened to do, everything that's written in this book which Jeremiah prophesied against all the different nations.
Nga fah kai Babylonia ke mwe ongoiya nukewa ma nga tuh fahk nu sel Jeremiah mu nga ac oru nu sin mutunfacl inge kewa — aok, mwe ongoiya nukewa ma simla in book se inge.
14 Many nations and powerful kings will make slaves of them, the Babylonians, and I will pay them back for the evil they've done.
Nga ac folokin nu sin mwet Babylonia fal nu ke ma elos oru, na elos ac fah mwet kohs nu sin tokosra na fulat in mutunfacl puspis.’”
15 This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, told me: Take this cup I'm handing to you. It contains the wine of my anger. You are to make all the nations I send you to drink from it.
LEUM GOD lun Israel El fahk nu sik, “Cup in wain se pa inge, sessesla ke kasrkusrak luk. Usla nu sin mutunfacl nukewa su nga ac supwekom nu we, ac oru elos in nim kac.
16 They will drink and stumble around and go mad because of the war brought by the armies I'm sending to attack them.
Pacl se elos ac nimya, elos ac fahsr ikorkor ac wella ke sripen mweun nga supu in lainulos.”
17 I took the cup the Lord handed to me and made all the nations he sent me to drink from it:
Ouinge nga eisla cup se liki poun LEUM GOD, ac sang nu sin mutunfacl nukewa ma LEUM GOD El supweyu nu we, ac oru tuh elos in nim kac.
18 To Jerusalem and the towns of Judah, its kings and officials, destroying them so that people were horrified at what happened to them and mocked them and cursed them (and they are still like this today);
Jerusalem ac siti nukewa lun Judah, weang tokosra ac mwet kol we, elos nim kac, na in pacl sac me nwe misenge acn inge ekla acn mwesisla — sie mwe lut ac mwe aksangeng, ac mwet uh orekmakin inelos in mwe selnga.
19 to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and his officials, leaders, all his people
Mwet inge wi pac nim ke cup sac: tokosra lun Egypt, mwet pwapa fulat ac mwet kol lal; mwet Egypt nukewa ac mwetsac in acn Egypt;
20 and all the foreigners living there; to all the kings of the country of Uz; to all the kings of the Philistines: Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and what's left of Ashdod;
tokosra nukewa in facl Uz; tokosra nukewa ke siti in acn Philistia inge: Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, ac mwet lula in acn Ashdod;
21 to Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites;
mwet nukewa in acn Edom, ac Moab, ac Ammon;
22 to all the kings of Tyre and Sidon; to the kings of the Mediterranean sea coast;
tokosra nukewa lun Tyre ac Sidon; tokosra nukewa lun acn wekof lun Mediterranean;
23 to Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all those who trim their hair on the sides of their heads;
siti Dedan, Tema, Buz, elos nukewa su koala aunsuf ke likintupalos;
24 to all the kings of Arabia; and to all the kings of the different tribes living in the desert;
tokosra nukewa Arabia tokosra nukewa lun sruf yen mwesis;
25 to all the kings of Zimri, Elam, and Media;
tokosra nukewa lun Zimri, Elam, ac Media;
26 to all the kings of the north; in fact to all the kingdoms on earth whether close or far away, one after another. After all of them, the king of Babylon will drink it too.
tokosra nukewa in acn epang, elos su muta loessula ac su apkuran, sie tukun sie. Tokosra nukewa fin faclu elos ac nim kac, na saflaiya tokosra Babylonia el fah nim.
27 Tell them this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Drink, make yourselves drunk, and vomit. Because of the war you'll be killed, falling down never to get up again.
Toko LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Fahk nu sin mwet uh lah nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, nga sapkin nu selos in nim nwe ke elos sruhila woht, nwe ke elos ikori ac tia ku in tuyak, ke sripen mweun ma nga supu lainulos.
28 If they should refuse to take the cup and drink from it, tell them that this is what the Lord Almighty says: You can't avoid drinking it—you have to!
Ac elos fin srangesr eis cup sac liki poum ac nim kac, na fahk nu selos lah LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk mu elos enenu na in nim.
29 Can't you see that I'm about to bring disaster down on my own city, so do you really think you wouldn't be punished as well? You won't go unpunished, for I am bringing war to everyone on earth, declares the Lord Almighty.
Siti se emeet nga fah kunausla pa siti sik sifacna. Ya elos nunku mu ac tia kalyeiyuk elos? Mo, ac kalyeiyuk elos, mweyen nga ac supu mweun nu fin mwet nukewa fin faclu. Nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, pa fahk ma inge.
30 Give this whole message as a prophecy against them. Tell them: The Lord will thunder from high above. He will thunder loudly from the holy place where he lives. He will give a great roar against the sheepfolds. He will give a loud shout like people treading the grapes, frightening everyone who lives on earth.
“Jeremiah, kom enenu in sulkakin kas nukewa nga fahk uh. Kom enenu in fahk nu sin mwet inge mu, ‘LEUM GOD El ngirngir inkusrao me, Ac pulahl fah kasla liki acn fulatlana inkusrao. El fah ngirngir lain mwet lal. El fah sasa oana mwet ma lolongya grape uh. Mwet nukewa fin faclu fah lohngol,
31 The sound will reach everywhere on the earth because the Lord is accusing the nations. He is judging everyone, executing the wicked, declares the Lord.
Ac kusen ngirngir se inge fah kasla sun saflaiyen faclu. Oasr mwe amei lun LEUM GOD lain mutunfacl uh. El ac fah use mwet nukewa nu in nununku Ac uniya mwet koluk nukewa. LEUM GOD pa fahk ma inge.’”
32 This is what the Lord Almighty says: Watch out! Disaster is falling on one nation after another; an immense storm is building up in the far distance.
LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk mu kunausten lulap summa nu fin sie mutunfacl tukun sie, ac sie paka lulap kilkilukeni oe yen loessula saflaiyen faclu me.
33 Those killed by the Lord at that time will cover the earth from one end to the other. No one will mourn them, or collect them, or bury them. They will be like piles of manure lying on the ground.
Ke len sac, monin mwet su LEUM GOD El uniya fah oaclik yen nukewa faclu. Wangin mwet fah tung kaclos, ac elos fah tia orekeni in pukpuki. Elos fah oanna fin acn uh oana fohkon kosro.
34 Cry out and weep, you shepherds! Roll around on the ground mourning, you leaders of the flock. The time for you to be killed has come; you will fall, smashed like the finest pottery.
Tung, kowos mwet kol, kowos mwet sropo lun mwet luk. Kowos in wowoyak tung, ac ipippip infohk uh. Pa inge pacl in anwuki kowos, ac kowos ac fah laslaseyuki oana sheep mukul.
35 The shepherds won't be able to run away; the leaders of the flock won't escape.
Ac fah wangin kutena inkanek in kaingla lowos.
36 Listen to the cries of the shepherds, the weeping of the leaders of the flock, for the Lord is destroying their pasturelands.
Lohng pusren tung lun mwet shepherd, ac wowoyak lun mwet kol lun un kosro uh! Tuh LEUM GOD El furokla acn in tohf kosro natulos.
37 The peaceful sheepfolds have been ruined because of the Lord's fierce anger.
Acn in mongla misla lalos wanginla, ke sripen fulen kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD.
38 The Lord has left his den like a lion, because their country has been devastated by the invading armies, and because of the Lord's fierce anger.
LEUM GOD El som liki mwet lal, oana soko lion ma illa liki luf sel. Mwe aksangeng ke mweun, ac kasrkusrak fol lun LEUM GOD, ekulla facl se inge nu ke sie acn mwesis.
