< Jeremiah 16 >

1 The worde of the Lord came also vnto mee, saying,
LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
2 Thou shalt not take thee a wife, nor haue sonnes nor daughters in this place.
“Nikmet payuk ku orek tulik in acn se inge.
3 For thus sayeth the Lord concerning the sonnes, and concerning the daughters that are borne in this place, and concerning their mothers that beare them, and concerning their fathers, that beget them in this land,
Nga ac fahk nu sum ma ac sikyak nu sin tulik su ac isusla in acn se inge, oayapa nu sin papa ac nina.
4 They shall die of deathes and diseases: they shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried, but they shalbe as dung vpon the earth, and they shalbe consumed by the sword, and by famine, and their carkeises shall be meate for the foules of the heauen, and for the beasts of the earth.
Elos ac misa ke mas na upa, ac wangin mwet ac tungelos ku puknelosi. Elos ac fah anwuki ke mweun, ku misa ke masrinsral, ac manolos ac fah mwe mongo nun won ac kosro inima uh. Ma lula uh ac fah osralik fin acn uh oana fohkon kosro.
5 For thus saith the Lord, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither goe to lament, nor be moued for the: for I haue taken my peace, from this people, saith the Lord, euen mercy and compassion.
“Kom fah tia utyak nu in lohm ma oasr eoksra we. Nik kom tungi kutena mwet. Nga ac tia sifil akinsewowoye mwet luk ke misla, ku akkalemye lungse ac pakoten luk nu selos.
6 Both the great, and the small shall die in this land: they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them nor cut themselues, nor make themselues balde for them.
Mwet kasrup ac mwet sukasrup fah tukeni misa in acn se inge, tusruktu wangin mwet fah puknelosi ku eoksra kaclos. Wangin mwet fah sipik manol sifacna ku mangsrasrala in akkalemye asor lal.
7 They shall not stretch out the hands for the in the mourning to comfort them for the dead, neither shall they giue them the cup of consolation to drinke for their father or for their mother.
Wangin mwet ac mongo ku nim yurin kutena mwet in akwoyal ke sie mwet saok lal misa. Ac wangin pac mwet fah fahkak pakomuta la, finne nu selos su papa tuma ku nina kia misa.
8 Thou shalt not also goe into the house of feasting to sit with them to eate and to drinke.
“Nimet utyak nu in sie lohm ma mwet uh orek kufwa we. Kom in tia pituki yorolos in mongo ac nim.
9 For thus sayth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Beholde, I wil cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, euen in your dayes the voyce of myrth, and the voyce of gladnes, the voyce of the bridegrome and the voyce of the bride.
Porongo ma nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, fahk inge. Nga fah kutongya pusren engan ac insewowo, oayapa pusren pwar ke kufwen marut. Mwet in acn se inge fah moul na in liye ke ma inge ac sikyak.
10 And when thou shalt shewe this people all these wordes, and they shall say vnto thee, Wherefore hath the Lord pronounced all this great plague against vs? or what is our iniquitie? and what is our sinne that we haue committed against the Lord our God?
“Ke pacl se kom fahkang ma inge nukewa nu selos, elos ac siyuk sum lah efu ku nga sulela in kalyaelos arulana upa. Elos ac siyuk lah ma sufal fuka elos eis mwata kac, ac ma koluk fuka elos orala lain LEUM GOD lalos.
11 Then shalt thou say vnto them, Because your fathers haue forsaken me, sayth the Lord, and haue walked after other gods, and haue serued them, and worshipped them, and haue forsaken me, and haue not kept my Law,
Na kom fah fahk nu selos lah LEUM GOD El fahk, ‘Mwet matu lowos forla likiyu, ac elos alu ac kulansupu god ngia. Elos sisyula ac tia akos mwe luti luk.
12 (And ye haue done worse then your fathers: for beholde, you walke euery one after the stubbernesse of his wicked heart, and will not heare me)
Na kowos oru koluk yohk liki mwet matu lowos. Kowos nukewa likkeke ac orekma koluk, ac tia akosyu.
13 Therefore will I driue you out of this land into a lande that ye knowe not, neither you, nor your fathers, and there shall ye serue other gods day and night: for I will shew you no grace.
Ke ma inge, nga fah siskowosla liki facl se inge nu in sie facl ma kowos, ac mwet matu lowos, tia etu kac. Na kowos fah kulansupu god saya ke len ac fong, ac nga fah tiana pakomutowos.’”
14 Behold therfore, saith the Lord, the dayes come that it shall no more be sayde, The Lord liueth, which brought vp the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt,
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Pacl se ac tuku ke mwet uh ac tia sifil fulahk keik mu ‘Oana ke God El moul, su tuh molela mwet Israel liki facl Egypt.’
15 But the Lord liueth, that brought vp the children of Israel from the lande of the North, and from all the landes where hee had scattered them, and I wil bring them againe into their land that I gaue vnto their fathers.
A ma elos ac oru pa elos ac fulahk keik mu, ‘Oana ke God El moul, su tuh molela mwet Israel liki mutunfacl epang ac liki mutunfacl saya nukewa,’ yen nga luselosla nu we. Nga fah folokunulosme nu in facl selos sifacna, nu yen ma nga sang nu sin mwet matu lalos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
16 Behold, sayth the Lord, I wil send out many fishers, and they shall fish them, and after, will I send out many hunters, and they shall hunt them from euery mountaine and from euery hill, and out of the caues of the rockes.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga ac solama mwet patur puspis in tuku sruok mwet inge. Toko nga fah sapwalik mwet sruh kosro in sokolos yen nukewa fineol uh ac inging uh ac in luf inmasrlon eot uh.
17 For mine eyes are vpon al their wayes: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquitie hid from mine eyes.
Nga liye ma nukewa elos oru, ac wangin ma wikla likiyu. Ma koluk lalos uh kalem ye mutuk.
18 And first I will recompense their iniquitie and their sinne double, because they haue defiled my lande, and haue filled mine inheritance with their filthie carions and their abominations.
Nga fah oru elos in moli pacl luo ke tafongla ac ma koluk lalos, mweyen elos aktaekye facl sik ke ma sruloala ma wangin moul la oana monin mwet misa, ac elos nwakla acn uh ke god kikiap lalos.”
19 O Lord, thou art my force, and my strength and my refuge in the day of affliction: the Gentiles shall come vnto thee from the ends of the world, and shall say, Surely our fathers haue inherited lies, and vanitie, wherein was no profite.
O LEUM GOD, kom pa langoeyu ac akkeyeyu. Kom kasreyu ke pacl koluk. Mutunfaclu ac fah tuku nu yurum liki saflaiyen faclu ac fahk, “Wangin god lun mwet matu lasr sayen god kikiap mukena, ac ma sruloala wangin sripa.
20 Shall a man make gods vnto himselfe, and they are no gods?
Ya oasr mwet ku in sifacna orek god la? Tia ku. El fin orala, ac tiana god pwaye.”
21 Beholde, therefore I will this once teach them: I will shewe them mine hande and my power, and they shall know that my Name is the Lord.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ke ma inge, nga fah fahkak nu sin mutunfacl uh tuh elos in etu ke ku luk ac ke ku lun pouk. Inge ac nu tok, elos fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.”
