< Jeremiah 10 >

1 Hear the word that the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel.
Mwet Israel, porongo kas lun LEUM GOD nu suwos
2 This is what the LORD says: “Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by the signs in the heavens, though the nations themselves are terrified by them.
fahkang: “Nikmet ukwe ouiya lun mutanfahl saya; Nimet fosrnga ke ma sakirik ma ac sikyak inkusrao, Mutanfahl saya finne tuninfong kac.
3 For the customs of the peoples are worthless; they cut down a tree from the forest; it is shaped with a chisel by the hands of a craftsman.
Alu lun mwet inge wangin sripa. Soko sak ac pakpuki insak uh, Na kihlyak ke kufwen sroasr lun mwet tufahl,
4 They adorn it with silver and gold and fasten it with hammer and nails, so that it will not totter.
Ac yunla ke silver ac gold. Osra pa sang sruokya In tia topla.
5 Like scarecrows in a cucumber patch, their idols cannot speak. They must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them, for they can do no harm, and neither can they do any good.”
Kain ma sruloala inge oana luman mwet kikiap se ma kaskiyuki ke ima uh. Elos tia ku in kaskas. Enenu in utuk elos Mweyen elos tia ku in fahsr. Nimet sangeng selos. Elos tia ku in akkolukye kowos, Ac wangin pac ma wo elos ku in oru nu suwos.”
6 There is none like You, O LORD. You are great, and Your name is mighty in power.
LEUM GOD, wangin sie oana kom. Kom kulana, Ac Inem fulat ac yoklana ku la.
7 Who would not fear You, O King of nations? This is Your due. For among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like You.
Kom pa tokosra lun mutunfacl nukewa, na su ac tia sunakin kom? Fal in akfulatyeyuk kom. Wangin sie oana kom Inmasrlon mwet lalmwetmet nukewa lun mutunfacl uh, Ku inmasrlon kutena tokosra lalos.
8 But they are altogether senseless and foolish, instructed by worthless idols made of wood!
Mwet nukewa su alu nu ke ma sruloala elos sulalkung ac lalfon. Mea elos ac ku in etala sin sie ma orekla ke sak?
9 Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz— the work of a craftsman from the hands of a goldsmith. Their clothes are blue and purple, all fashioned by skilled workers.
Ma sruloala lalos nukla ke silver Spain me Ac ke gold Uphaz me, Orekla sin mwet usrnguk in sroasr. Elos nuknukyang ke nuknuk folfolnemnem ac sroninmutuk Orekla sin mwet orek nuknuk na usrnguk.
10 But the LORD is the true God; He is the living God and eternal King. The earth quakes at His wrath, and the nations cannot endure His indignation.
Tusruktu kom, LEUM GOD, pa God pwaye Ac kom God moul Ac tokosra ma pahtpat. Ke pacl se kom kasrkusrak, faclu kusrusr; Mutanfahl uh tia ku in muteng mulat lom. (
11 Thus you are to tell them: “These gods, who have made neither the heavens nor the earth, will perish from this earth and from under these heavens.”
Kowos enenu in fahkang nu selos lah god ma tia orala faclu ac kusrao, ac fah kunausyukla. Elos fah wanginla liki acn nukewa fin faclu.)
12 The LORD made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding.
LEUM GOD El orala faclu ke ku lal; El oakiya faclu ke lalmwetmet lal, Ac El asroelik kusrao ke etu lal.
13 When He thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.
Ke sap lal, kof lucng liki yen engyeng uh ngirngir; El orama pukunyeng uh liki saflaiyen faclu. El oru sarom in sarmelik in af uh Ac supwama eng uh liki nien filma lal.
14 Every man is senseless and devoid of knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols. For his molten images are a fraud, and there is no breath in them.
Ke mwet uh liye ma inge, elos akilen lupan lalfon ac nikin lalos sifacna. Elos su oru ma sruloala elos mwekinla, Mweyen god ma elos orala uh tia pwaye ac wangin moul la.
15 They are worthless, a work to be mocked. In the time of their punishment they will perish.
Elos ma lusrongten ma fal in pilesreyuk. Elos ac fah kunausyukla pacl se LEUM GOD El ac tuku in nununkalos.
16 The Portion of Jacob is not like these, for He is the Maker of all things, and Israel is the tribe of His inheritance— the LORD of Hosts is His name.
God lal Jacob El tia oana ma inge. El pa orala ma nukewa, Ac El sulela mwet Israel elos in mwet lal. Inel pa LEUM GOD Kulana.
17 Gather up your belongings from this land, you who live under siege.
Mwet Jerusalem, apweni! Kuhlusyuki kowos!
18 For this is what the LORD says: “Behold, at this time I will sling out the inhabitants of the land and bring distress upon them so that they may be captured.”
LEUM GOD El ac siskowosla liki facl se inge. El ac itungkowosi nwe ke na wangin sie suwos lula. LEUM GOD pa fahk ma inge.
19 Woe to me because of my brokenness; my wound is grievous! But I said, “This is truly my sickness, and I must bear it.”
Mwet Jerusalem elos wowoyak ac fahk, “Fuka lupan ongoiya uh! Kinet kacsr uh ac tiana mahla. A kut tuh nunku mu kut ac ku in muteng ma inge!
20 My tent is destroyed, and all its ropes are snapped. My sons have departed from me and are no more. I have no one left to pitch my tent or set up my curtains.
Lohm nuknuk sesr uh musalsalu; Sucl ma sang sruok uh wotelik. Tulik natusr nukewa fahsr liki kut; Wangin mwet lula in sifil tulokunak lohm nuknuk sesr; Wangin mwet in sripisrya mwe lisrlisr kac uh.”
21 For the shepherds have become senseless; they do not seek the LORD. Therefore they have not prospered, and all their flock is scattered.
Na nga topuk, “Mwet kol lasr elos lalfon; Elos tia siyuk kolyuk sin LEUM GOD. Pa inge sripa pwanang elos tia kapkapak, Ac mwet lasr uh fahsrelik.
22 Listen! The sound of a report is coming— a great commotion from the land to the north. The cities of Judah will be made a desolation, a haunt for jackals.
Porongo! Oasr pweng se tuku! Oasr sie mukuiyak lulap in sie mutunfacl epang; Mwet mweun we ac fah ekulla siti lun Judah nu ke sie acn mwesis, Nu ke acn in muta lun kosro lemnak uh.”
23 I know, O LORD, that a man’s way is not his own; no one who walks directs his own steps.
LEUM GOD, nga etu lah wangin sie mwet sifacna kol inkanek lal, Wangin mwet sifacna nununku moul lal.
24 Correct me, O LORD, but only with justice— not in Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing.
LEUM GOD, aksuwosye mwet lom, Tusruktu nimet kom arulana upa nu sesr, Ku kai kut ke pacl kom kasrkusrak, Mweyen ac tuh pa ingan saflaiyen moul lasr.
25 Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge You, and on the families that do not call on Your name. For they have devoured Jacob; they have consumed him and finished him off; they have devastated his homeland.
Furokla kasrkusrak lom nu fin mutunfacl ma tia etekom, Ac nu fin mwet su tia alu nu sum. Elos onela mwet lom. Elos kunauskutla na pwaye Ac likiya acn sesr in oan musalla.
