Jeremiah 8
1 “Ke pacl sac, srin tokosra ac mwet fulat lun Judah, ac oayapa srin mwet tol ac mwet palu, ac srin mwet saya su tuh muta in Jerusalem, ac fah pukpukyak liki kulyuk lalos.
“At that time—this is Yahweh's declaration—they will bring out from the graves the bones of the kings of Judah and its officials, the bones of the priests and the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
2 Srelos ac fah oanna fin fohk uh oana fohkon kosro — ac fah oaclik ye faht, malem, ac itu uh, ma mwet inge elos tuh lungse ac kulansupu, ac su elos lolngok yoro ac alu nu kac. Ac tia orekeni in sifil pukpuki.
Then they will spread them out in the light of the sun and moon and all the stars of the skies; these things in the sky that they have followed and served, that they have walked after and sought, and that they have worshiped. The bones will not be gathered or buried again. They will be like dung on the surface of the earth.
3 Na mwet in mutunfacl koluk se inge su painmoulla, su muta in acn puspis yen nga akfahsryeloselik nu we, fah kena misa liki na in moul. Nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, pa fahk ma inge.”
In every remaining place where I have driven them, they will choose death instead of life for themselves, all who are still left over from this evil nation—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts.
4 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik in fahkang nu sin mwet lal, “Ke pacl se mwet se ikori, ya el ac tia sifil tuyak? Mwet se fin tafongla liki inkanek uh, ya el ac tia sifil foloko?
So say to them, 'Yahweh says this: Does anyone fall and not get up? Does anyone get lost and not try to return?
5 Na kowos, mwet luk, efu ku kowos forla likiyu ac tiana sifil foloko? Kowos sruasralana nu ke ma sruloala lowos ac srunga foloko nu yuruk.
Why has this people, Jerusalem, turned away in permanent faithlessness? They hold on to treachery and refuse to repent.
6 Nga arulana lipsre, tuh kowos tiana kaskas pwaye. Tia sie suwos inse asor ke orekma koluk lal. Tia sie suwos siyuk, ‘Ya oasr tafongla nga orala?’ Kais sie mwet ukwena lungse lal sifacna, oana soko horse kasrusr akwot nu ke mweun.
I paid attention and listened, but they did not speak right; no one was sorry for his wickedness, no one who says, “What have I done?” All of them go where they wish, like a stallion rushing toward battle.
7 Finne won stork uh elos etu na pacl in folok lalos. Won dove, swallow, ac thrush elos etu pacl in mukuila nu ke sie pac acn. A kowos, mwet luk, tia etu ma sap su nga oakiya nu suwos.
Even the stork in heaven knows the right times; and the doves, swifts, and cranes. They go on their migrations at the right time, but my people do not know Yahweh's decrees.
8 Kowos ku in fahk fuka lah kowos lalmwetmet ac etu ma sap luk? Liye, ma sap uh ikla sin mwet sim kutasrik.
How can you say, “We are wise, for the law of Yahweh is with us”? Indeed, see! The deceitful pen of the scribes has created deceit.
9 Mwet lalmwetmet lowos elos mwekinla; nunak lalos fohsak ac elos srifusryuki. Elos likinsai kas luk, na pa lalmwetmet fuka lalos inge?
The wise men will be ashamed. They are dismayed and trapped. Behold! They reject Yahweh's word, so what use is their wisdom?
10 Ke ma inge nga fah sang ima lalos ac mutan kialos nu sin kutena mwet. Mwet nukewa, mwet fulat ac mwet srisrik, elos srike in orek mani ke inkanek kutasrik. Finne mwet palu ac mwet tol, elos kiapu pac mwet uh.
So I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those who will possess them, because from the least to the greatest, all of them are greedy for dishonest gain! From the prophet to the priest, all of them practice deceit.
11 Elos oru oana in ma na kuretyuki pa kinet ke mwet luk uh. Elos fahk mu, ‘Ma nukewa wo na,’ sruhk ma uh tiana wo.
They healed the wounds of my people lightly, saying, “Peace, Peace,” when there was no peace.
12 Mwet luk, ya kowos mwekin ke kowos oru ma srungayuk inge? Mo, kowos tiana mwekin kutu srisrik. Kowos tia pacna ngetnget in mwekin. Ke ma inge kowos ac fah misa oana mwet misa tari. Pacl se nga kalyei kowos, pa ingan saflaiyowos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
Were they ashamed when they practiced abominations? They were not ashamed; they did not know how to blush! So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when they are punished, says Yahweh.
13 “Nga kena eisani mwet luk, oana ke sie mwet orani kosrani lal; tusruktu elos oana sak grape ma wangin grape olo, oana sak fig ma wangin fahko; finne sra uh, masla pac. Ke sripa inge, nga fuhlela mwet saya in orekmakin acn inge.”
I will remove them completely—this is Yahweh's declaration—there will be no grapes on the vine, nor will there be figs on the fig trees. For the leaf will wither, and what I have given to them will pass away.
14 Na mwet lun God uh siyuk, “Efu kut ku mutana? Fahsru, kut kasrusr som nu ke siti potyak ku uh ac misa we. LEUM GOD lasr El wotela mu kut in misa. El ase pwasin kut in nim, mweyen kut orekma koluk lainul.
Why are we sitting here? Come together; let us go to the fortified cities, and we will become silent there in death. For Yahweh our God will silence us. He will make us drink poison, since we have sinned against him.
15 Kut tuh finsrak in oasr misla ac in oasr imwe nu sesr, a kut pulakin sangeng lulap.
We are hoping for peace, but there will be nothing good. We are hoping for a time of healing, but see, there will be terror.
16 Mwet lokoalok lasr uh sun tari siti Dan. Kut lohng pusren tungtung lun horse natulos. Acn nukewa kusrusryak ke horse in mweun natulos apkuranme. Mwet lokoalok lasr tuku in kunausla acn sesr wi ma nukewa loac, siti sesr ac mwet nukewa su muta we.
The snorting of his stallions is heard from Dan. The whole earth shakes at the sound of the neighing of his strong horses. For they will come and consume the land and its wealth, the city and the ones living in it.
17 Leum El fahk, “Kowos taran! Nga ac supwama wet nu inmasrlowos — wet pwasin ma tia ku in akmunayeyukla, ac wet inge ac fah ngalis kowos.”
For see, I am sending out snakes among you, vipers that you cannot charm. They will bite you—this is Yahweh's declaration.'”
18 Asor luk tia ku in unweyukla; Insiuk maskunak.
My sorrow has no end, and my heart is sick.
19 Porongo! Nga lohng pusren mwet luk Wowoyak sasla fin acn uh, “Ya LEUM GOD El som liki Zion? Ya tokosra lun Zion wanginla we?” Na LEUM GOD, tokosra lalos, El topuk, “Efu kowos ku akkasrkusrakyeyu ke kowos alu nu ke ma sruloala lowos Ac ke kowos pasrla nu ke god sac ma wangin sripa?”
Behold! The screaming voice of the daughter of my people from a land far away! Is Yahweh not in Zion? Is her king no longer there? Why then do they provoke me to anger with their carved figures and their worthless foreign idols?
20 Mwet uh wowoyak ac fahk, “Pacl fol somla, ac pacl in kosrani uh safla, A soenna mouliyukla kut.”
The harvest has passed on, summer is over. But we have not been saved.
21 Insiuk itungyuki Mweyen mwet luk uh itatu; Nga tung nwe mwemelil, ac arulana oela.
I am hurt because of the hurt of the daughter of my people. I mourn at the horrible things that have happened to her; I am dismayed.
22 Ya wangin ono in Gilead? Ya wangin mwet ono we? Na, efu mwet luk uh ku tiana kwela?
Is there no medicine in Gilead? Is there no healer there? Why will the healing of the daughter of my people not happen?
