Jeremiah 15
1 Then Yahweh said [this] to me: “Even if Moses and Samuel could [come back from their graves and] and stand in front of me [and plead with me for these Israeli people], I would not act mercifully [IDM] toward these people. [I would tell you], ‘Send them away from me. Cause them to leave me!’
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Moses ac Samuel finne tu inge in kwafe nu sik ke mwet uh, nga fah tiana pakomutalos. Sap elos in som liki ye mutuk.
2 And if they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’, tell them, ‘This is what Yahweh says: The ones that I say must die, will die: The ones that I say must die in wars [MTY], will die in wars. The ones that I say must die from hunger, will die from hunger. The ones that I say must be captured [and taken to other countries], will be captured [and taken to other countries].
Ke elos siyuk sum lah elos ac som nu ya, fahkang nu selos lah nga fahk ouinge: “Kutu selos ac fah misa ke mas — Na pa ingan acn elos ac som nu we! Kutu selos ac fah misa ke mweun — Na pa ingan acn elos ac som nu we! Kutu selos fah misa ke masrinsral — Na pa ingan acn elos ac som nu we! Kutu selos ac fah utukla nu ke nien kapir — Na pa ingan acn elos ac som nu we!
3 I will send four things that will get rid of them: I will send [enemy soldiers using] swords to kill them. I will send wild dogs to drag away [their corpses]. I will send vultures to eat [their corpses]. And I will send [other] wild animals to eat what remains [of their corpses].
Nga, LEUM GOD, sulela tari ma upa akosr inge in sikyak nu selos: elos fah anwuki ke mweun; kosro ngalngul fah amakunla manolos; won ac fah kangla ikwalos, ac kosro lemnak fah kangla ma lula kac.
4 Because of [the wicked things that] King Manasseh did in Jerusalem, I will cause [people in] all the kingdoms of the earth to be horrified about [what will happen in Judah to] my people.
Nga fah oru mwet nukewa faclu in fwefela kaclos ke sripen ma koluk lulap Manasseh, wen natul Hezekiah, el oru in Jerusalem pacl se el tuh tokosra lun acn Judah.”
5 You [people of], no one will [RHQ] feel sorry for you. No one will [RHQ] weep/cry for you. No one will [RHQ] ask (how you are/if you are well).
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet Jerusalem, su ac pakomutowos, Ac su ac tungi kowos? Su ac sisla pacl la in tui Ac siyuk lah kowos fuka?
6 You people have abandoned me; you have continued to walk away [from me] [DOU]. So, I will lift up my fist to smash you; I will not act mercifully toward you any longer.
Kowos sisyula; Kowos totulikla likiyu. Ke ma inge nga srukak pouk ac itungkowosi Mweyen nga totola in kutong kasrkusrak luk.
7 At the gates of your cities, I will [scatter you like a farmer scatters the chaff from his grain by] (winnowing it/throwing it up to allow the wind to blow the chaff away) [MET]. You, my people, have refused to turn away from your evil behavior. [So], I will get rid of you, and I will even cause your children to be killed.
In siti nukewa in facl se inge Nga siskowosyak nu ke eng uh, oana ke kulun wheat uh sisiyak nu ke eng uh. Nga kunauskowosla, mwet luk. Nga uniya tulik nutuwos Mweyen kowos tiana tui liki ouiyen moul koluk lowos.
8 I will cause there to be more widows [in Judah] than [there are grains of] sand on the seashore [HYP]. At noontime, [when people will not be expecting it to happen], I will cause [an enemy army] to attack you, an army that will destroy your young men and cause their mothers to weep. I will cause you to suddenly experience great suffering/pain and become very terrified.
Puslana katinmas in facl suwos Liki puk wekof uh. Nga uniya mukul fusr nutuwos an ke pacl na elos sun kuiyalos, Ac oru nina kialos in keok. In kitin pacl na nga srunglulos Ke mwe akkeok ac mwe aksangeng.
9 A woman who has seven children will become faint and (gasp for breath/be hardly able to breathe); [it will be as though] daylight will become darkness for her, [because most of] her children will be dead, and she will be disgraced and humiliated [DOU]. And her children who are still alive, I will enable your enemies to kill them. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.’”
Nina se ma tulik itkosr natul misa El mulalla ac suk mongol. Kalem lun len uh yorol ekla lohsr. El mwekinla ac oela insial ke asor. Nga fah lela mwet lokoalok lowos in onelosla Su srak moul inmasrlowos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
10 [I said to] my mother, “I am very sad; I wish that you had not given birth to me; everyone in this land opposes me and quarrels with me. I am not a person who lends [money to people and threatens to sue/harm them if they do not pay me back when they should], and I am not a person who borrows [money from others and then refuses to pay it back], but everyone [HYP] curses me.”
Nga mwet na supwar se! Efu ku nina kiuk el osweyula nu faclu? Mwet nukewa in mutunfacl se inge amei ac akukuin yuruk. Nga tiana sang mani nu sin mwet ma ngisreyu, ac nga tia pac ngisre mani sin mwet. Ne ouinge elos nuna selngawiyu na.
11 But Yahweh replied to me, “[Jeremiah], I will take care of you. And at times when your enemies have troubles and disasters, they will [come to you and] plead for you [to help them].”
LEUM GOD, lela selnga nukewa lalos uh in akpwayeiyuk nga fin tia kulansupwekom wo, ac nga fin tia kwafe sum ke mwet lokoalok luk in pacl elos sun ma upa ac ongoiya nu selos. (
12 [Yahweh also told me to say to the people] of Judah, “Your enemies, who are [as strong as] iron or bronze, [will attack you] from the north; no one will be able to stop them.
Wangin mwet ku in koteya osra uh, yokna osra ma tuku epang me ma karyak ke bronze.)
13 I will give all the valuable possessions [of the people of Judah] to their enemies, without them paying for it. Their valuable possessions will be the payment/reward [that I will give them] because of all the sins that you have committed throughout your country.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Nga fah supwala mwet lokoalok in usla mwe kasrup ac ma saok lun mwet luk, in kaelos ke koluk lalos elos oru apunla acn selos.
14 I will tell your enemies to force you to become their prisoners, and to take you to other lands that you do not [even] know about, and force you to become their slaves. [That will happen] because I am extremely angry [with you]; my being angry is [like] [SIM] a fire that will burn forever.”
Nga ac oru elos in kulansupu mwet lokoalok lalos in sie facl elos tia etu kac, mweyen kasrkusrak luk oana e uh, su ac firir nwe tok.”
15 [Then I said], “Yahweh, you know [what is happening to me]. [Please] come and (help me/take care of me). Punish those who are (persecuting me/causing me to suffer). [Please] do not continue to be patient with them and do not allow me to die now. It is (for your sake/because I serve you) that I am suffering.
Na nga fahk, “LEUM GOD, kom etu. Esamyu ac kasreyu. Lela nga in foloksak nu selos su kalyeiyu. Nimet arulana mongfisrasr nu selos, pwanang elos in uniyuwi. Esam lah elos akkolukyeyu ke sripom.
16 Yahweh my God, you are the Commander of the armies of angels; and when you spoke to me, I was delighted with your message; it caused me to be joyful, and I eagerly accepted [MET] what you said because I belong to you. [IDM, MTY]
Kom kaskas nu sik, ac nga porongo kas nukewa lom. LEUM GOD Kulana, nga ma lom, ac kas lom nwakla insiuk ke engan ac insewowo.
17 When the people were carousing together, I never joined them; I sat alone, because you [MTY] are the one who controls what I do. I was very angry [with those people because of their sins].
Nga tia wi sisla pacl luk in israsr ac pwar yurin mwet ngia. A nga mukena muta oana kom sapkin, ac sessesla ke kasrkusrak.
18 So, (why do you [allow] me to continue to suffer?/I do not understand why you allow me to continue to suffer.) [RHQ] It seems that [RHQ] my wounds cannot be healed. [Sometimes you help me, sometimes you do not help me]. It seems that you are as undependable as a brook that has water in it only during certain seasons; you are like a spring that has dried up.”
Efu ku nga nuna keok na? Efu ku kinet keik uh koflana unweyukla in mahla? Yah kom ac aksupwaryeyu oana soko infacl srisrik ma oan nwe mihnla?”
19 Then Yahweh [replied], “If you begin again to [trust in] me, I will restore you, in order that you can continue to serve me. If you proclaim good/valuable messages and not worthless ones, you will continue to be the one who speaks what I tell you to say. You must cause the people to pay attention to what you say; you must not pay attention to what they say.
Na LEUM GOD El topukyu ouinge: “Kom fin foloko, nga ac sifil eis kom ac kom ac fah sifilpa mwet kulansap luk. Kom fin tila fahk ma wangin sripa a kom fahkak ma yohk sripa, na kom ac fah sifilpa mwet palu luk. Kom in tia som nu yurin mwet uh — lela elos in tuku nu yurum.
20 They will fight against you, but I will protect you, like [SIM] people are protected from their enemies by a bronze wall. They will not defeat you, because I will be with you, and I will protect and rescue [DOU] you.
Nga ac orekom in oana sie pot bronze kulana nu selos. Elos ac mweun lain kom, tusruktu elos fah tia kutangkomla. Nga fah wi kom in langoekom ac molikomla.
21 [Truly], I will keep you safe from those wicked people, I will rescue you when you are seized by cruel people. [That will happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
Nga fah liyekomyang ac loangekom liki inpoun mwet koluk ac mwet sulallal. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
