Jeremiah 25

1 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.)

This is the word that came to Jeremiah about all the people of Judah. It came in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah. That was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon.

2 Nga fahk nu sin mwet Judah ac mwet Jerusalem nukewa,

Jeremiah the prophet proclaimed this to all the people of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

3 “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.

He said, “For twenty-three years, from the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah until this day, Yahweh's words have been coming to me and I have spoken to you again and again, but you have not listened.

4 LEUM GOD El finne kalwenina in supu mwet kulansap lal mwet palu, a kowos tiana lohngolos, ku lohang nu selos.

Yahweh sent out all his servants the prophets to you again and again, but you have not listened or paid any attention.

5 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.

These prophets said, 'Let each man turn from his wicked way and the corruption of his practices and return to the land that Yahweh gave in ancient times to your ancestors and to you, as a permanent gift.

6 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.

So do not walk after other gods to worship them or bow down to them, and do not provoke him with the work of your hands so that he does you harm.'

7 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.

But you have not listened to me—this is Yahweh's declaration—so you have provoked me with the work of your hands to do harm to you.

8 “Ouinge LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk, ‘Ke sripen kowos tia porongeyu,

So Yahweh of hosts says this, 'Because you did not listen to my words,

9 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.

see, I am about to send out a command to gather all the peoples of the north—this is Yahweh's declaration—with Nebuchadnezzar my servant, king of Babylon, and bring them against this land and its inhabitants, and against all the nations around you. For I will set them apart for destruction. I will turn them into a horror, an object for hissing, and an unending desolation.

10 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.

I will put an end to the sound of joy and sound of gladness, the sound of the groom and the sound of the bride, the sound of the millstones and the light of the lamp.

11 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.

Then all of this land will become a desolation and a horror, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon for seventy years.

12 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.

Then it will happen when seventy years have been completed, that I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans—this is Yahweh's declaration—for their iniquity and make it an unending desolation.

13 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.

Then I will carry out against that land all the words that I had spoken, and everything written in this book that Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.

14 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.’”

For also many other nations and great kings will make slaves out of these nations. I will repay them for their deeds and the works of their hands.'”

15 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.

For Yahweh, God of Israel, said this to me, “Take this cup of the wine of fury from my hand and make all the nations to which I am sending you drink it.

16 Pacl se elos ac nimya, elos ac fahsr ikorkor ac wella ke sripen mweun nga supu in lainulos.”

For they will drink and then stagger about and rant madly before the sword that I am sending out among them.”

17 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.

So I took the cup from Yahweh's hand, and I made all the nations to which Yahweh had sent me drink it:

18 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.

Jerusalem, the cities of Judah and her kings and officials—to turn them into ruins and something terrifying, and into an object for hissing and cursing, as they are at this present day.

19 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;

Other nations also had to drink it: Pharaoh king of Egypt and his servants; his officials and all his people;

20 tokosra nukewa in facl Uz; tokosra nukewa ke siti in acn Philistia inge: Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, ac mwet lula in acn Ashdod;

all people of mixed heritage and all the kings of the land of Uz; all the kings of the land of Philistia—Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;

21 mwet nukewa in acn Edom, ac Moab, ac Ammon;

Edom and Moab and the people of Ammon.

22 tokosra nukewa lun Tyre ac Sidon; tokosra nukewa lun acn wekof lun Mediterranean;

The kings of Tyre and Sidon, the kings of the coasts on the other side of the sea,

23 siti Dedan, Tema, Buz, elos nukewa su koala aunsuf ke likintupalos;

Dedan, Tema, and Buz with all the ones who cut the hair on the sides of their heads, they also had to drink it.

24 tokosra nukewa Arabia tokosra nukewa lun sruf yen mwesis;

All the kings of Arabia and all the kings of people of mixed heritage who live in the wilderness;

25 tokosra nukewa lun Zimri, Elam, ac Media;

all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;

26 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.

all the kings of the north, the ones close by and the ones far away—everyone with his brother and all the kingdoms of the world that are on the surface of the earth, all of them had to drink the cup from Yahweh's hand. Finally, the king of Babylon will also drink from that cup.

27 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.

Yahweh said to me, “Now you must say to them, 'Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: Drink and become drunk, then vomit, fall down, and do not rise before the sword that I am sending among you.'

28 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.

Then it will happen that if they refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, you will say to them, 'Yahweh of hosts says this: You must certainly drink it.

29 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.

For see, I am about to bring disaster on the city that is called by my name, and should you yourselves be free from punishment? You will not be free, for I am calling a sword against all the inhabitants of the land!—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts.'

30 “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,

You must prophesy all these words against them, and say to them, 'Yahweh will roar from the heights and he will shout with his voice from his holy dwelling, and he will roar mightily against his fold; and he will shout, like those who tread the grapes against all those who live on the earth.

31 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.’”

The sound of battle will resound to the ends of the earth, for Yahweh brings charges against the nations, and he brings judgment on all flesh, and the wicked ones he will put to the sword—this is Yahweh's declaration.'

32 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.

Yahweh of hosts says this, 'See, disaster is going out from nation to nation, and a great storm is beginning from the farthest parts of the earth.

33 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.

Then those killed by Yahweh will on that day extend from one end of the earth to the other; they will not be mourned, gathered, or buried. They will be like dung on the ground.

34 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.

Wail, shepherds, and shout for help! Roll about in the dust, you leaders of the flock, for the days of your slaughter have come; you will be scattered when you fall like fine pottery.

35 Ac fah wangin kutena inkanek in kaingla lowos.

There is no refuge for the shepherds, there will be no escape for the leaders of the flock.

36 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.

Hear the cries of the shepherds and the wails of the leaders of the flock, for Yahweh is destroying their pastures.

37 Acn in mongla misla lalos wanginla, ke sripen fulen kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD.

So the peaceful pastures will be devastated because of Yahweh's fierce anger.

38 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.

Like a young lion, he has left his den, for their land will become a horror because of the oppressor's anger, because of his angry wrath.'”
