< Jeremiah 11 >

1 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 “Porongo kas ke wuleang uh. Fahk nu sin mwet Judah ac nu selos su muta Jerusalem
“Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
3 lah nga, LEUM GOD lun Israel, fah selngawi mwet nukewa su tia akos kas in wuleang se inge —
and say to them, the LORD, the God of Israel says: ‘Cursed is the man who doesn’t hear the words of this covenant,
4 wuleang se su nga tuh orala yurin mwet matu lalos ke nga tuh usalosme liki acn Egypt, acn se ma oana funyu firirir se nu selos ah. Nga tuh fahk nu selos in akosyu ac in oru ma nukewa ma nga sapkin. Nga fahkang nu selos mu elos fin akos, elos ac fah mwet luk ac nga ac fah God lalos.
which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace,’ saying, ‘Obey my voice and do them, according to all which I command you; so you shall be my people, and I will be your God;
5 Na nga fah akpwayei wuleang su nga tuh orala yurin mwet matu lalos mu nga ac sang nu selos facl mut ac kasrup fohk we se su elos muta fac inge.” Ac nga fahk, “Aok pwaye, LEUM GOD.”
that I may establish the oath which I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey,’ as it is today.” Then I answered, and said, “Amen, LORD.”
6 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Fahla nu in siti lun Judah ac nu inkanek Jerusalem ac sulkakin kas luk we. Fahk nu sin mwet uh in porongo kalmen kas in wuleang sac ac akos.
The LORD said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Hear the words of this covenant, and do them.
7 Ke nga tuh use mwet matu lalos liki facl Egypt, nga wili na nu selos in akosyu, ac nga kalwenina in akesmakinyalos kac nwe misenge.
For I earnestly protested to your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising early and protesting, saying, “Obey my voice.”
8 Tusruktu elos tiana porongo ku akosyu, a elos nukewa likkekelana ac oru na ma koluk. Nga sapkin elos in karinganang wuleang sac, a elos srunga. Ouinge nga use nu faclos mwe kalyai nukewa ma aketeyuki in wuleang uh.”
Yet they didn’t obey, nor turn their ear, but everyone walked in the stubbornness of their evil heart. Therefore I brought on them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they didn’t do them.’”
9 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Mwet Judah ac mwet Jerusalem elos orek pwapa koluk in lainyu.
The LORD said to me, “A conspiracy is found amongst the men of Judah, and amongst the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
10 Elos sifilpa folokla nu ke ouiya koluk lun mwet matu lalos meet ah, su srunga oru ma nga fahk. Elos alu nu ke god saya. Israel ac Judah kewa kunausla wuleang ma nga tuh oru yurin mwet matu lalos.
They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words. They have gone after other gods to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
11 Ouinge nga, LEUM GOD, akesmakinyalos lah nga ac fah use ongoiya lulap nu faclos, ac elos fah tia ku in kaingkunla. Elos fin mau wowoyak nu sik nga in kasrelos, nga ac fah tia lohngolos.
Therefore the LORD says, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on them which they will not be able to escape; and they will cry to me, but I will not listen to them.
12 Na mwet Judah ac Jerusalem fah som ac wowoyak nu ke god ma elos esukak mwe kisa keng nu se, tusruktu god ingan ac fah koflana molelosla ke pacl se ongoiya inge ac tuku uh.
Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and cry to the gods to which they offer incense, but they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
13 Oasr god puspis lun mwet Judah oana pisen siti lalos. Ac mwet Jerusalem elos etoak loang puspis in orek kisa nu sin Baal, god srungayuk sac, oana pisen inkanek in siti uh.
For according to the number of your cities are your gods, Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem you have set up altars to the shameful thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal.’
14 Jeremiah, nimet kom aol mwet inge in pre nu sik ku kwafe nu sik kaclos. Elos fin sun ongoiya ac pang in sukok kasru sik, nga ac tia porongalos.”
“Therefore don’t pray for this people. Don’t lift up cry or prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry to me because of their trouble.
15 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet su nga lungse yohk elos oru na ma koluk. Ya oasr suwohs lalos in muta in Tempul sik? Ya elos nunku mu elos ku in kutongya mwe ongoiya nu selos ke elos orek wulela ac ke elos kisakin kosro natulos? Ya elos ku in engan?
What has my beloved to do in my house, since she has behaved lewdly with many, and the holy flesh has passed from you? When you do evil, then you rejoice.”
16 Sie pacl ah nga pangon elos oana soko sak olive matol insroa ac rukruk ke fahko kato. A inge, ke sie ngirngir oana pusren pulal, nga fah esukak sra uh ac koteya lah kac uh.
The LORD called your name, “A green olive tree, beautiful with goodly fruit.” With the noise of a great roar he has kindled fire on it, and its branches are broken.
17 “Nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, pa tuh yukwiya Israel ac Judah. Tuh pa inge nga akkalemye nu selos lah elos ac sun ongoiya. Elos sifacna use ma inge nu faclos mweyen elos orekma koluk. Elos akkasrkusrakyeyu ke sripen elos orek kisa nu sel Baal.”
For the LORD of Armies, who planted you, has pronounced evil against you, because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done to themselves in provoking me to anger by offering incense to Baal.
18 LEUM GOD El akkalemye nu sik ke nunak sulallal ma mwet lokoalok luk elos oru lainyu.
The LORD gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it. Then you showed me their doings.
19 Nga oana soko sheep fusr ma tia etu lah ac utukla in anwuki — nga tiana etu lah pwapa koluk lalos uh ma nu sik. Elos fahk, “Lela kut in pakiya sak soko uh ke srakna moul. Kut in uniya tuh in wangin mwet sifil esamul.”
But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter. I didn’t know that they had devised plans against me, saying, “Let’s destroy the tree with its fruit, and let’s cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.”
20 Na nga pre ac fahk, “O LEUM GOD Kulana, nununku lom uh suwohs. Kom srike ac etu nunak ac insien mwet. Nga filiyuwot nu inpoum, ouinge lela nga in liye ke kom ac oru foloksak nu sin mwet inge.”
But, LORD of Armies, who judges righteously, who tests the heart and the mind, I will see your vengeance on them; for to you I have revealed my cause.
21 Mukul Anathoth elos lungse nga in anwuki, ac elos fahkma nu sik lah elos ac uniyuwi nga fin tia tui in kaskas Inen LEUM GOD.
“Therefore the LORD says concerning the men of Anathoth, who seek your life, saying, ‘You shall not prophesy in the LORD’s name, that you not die by our hand’—
22 Ouinge LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk, “Nga ac kalyaelos! Mukul fusr natulos ac fah anwuki ke mweun, ac tulik natulos ac fah misa ke masrinsral.
therefore the LORD of Armies says, ‘Behold, I will punish them. The young men will die by the sword. Their sons and their daughters will die by famine.
23 Nga oakiya pacl in ongoiya se tari nu fin mwet Anathoth, ac ke pacl sac tuku, wangin sie selos fah moul.”
There will be no remnant to them, for I will bring evil on the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.’”
