Jeremiah 13
1 This is what the LORD said to me: “Go and buy yourself a linen loincloth and put it around your waist, but do not let it touch water.”
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik nga in som ac molela sie mwe lohl linen ac sang losya infulwuk; a El fahk mu nga in tia twenya in kof uh.
2 So I bought a loincloth as the LORD had instructed me, and I put it around my waist.
Ke ma inge nga molela ac sang losyuwi, oana ma LEUM GOD El fahk.
3 Then the word of the LORD came to me a second time:
Na LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
4 “Take the loincloth that you bought and are wearing, and go at once to Perath and hide it there in a crevice of the rocks.”
“Fahla nu Infacl Euphrates ac okanla mwe lohl se ingan in sie luf ke eot uh.”
5 So I went and hid it at Perath, as the LORD had commanded me.
Ouinge nga som ac okanla sisken Infacl Euphrates, oana LEUM GOD El fahk.
6 Many days later the LORD said to me, “Arise, go to Perath, and get the loincloth that I commanded you to hide there.”
Tukun len puspis, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik in folokla nu Infacl Euphrates ac eis mwe lohl sac.
7 So I went to Perath and dug up the loincloth, and I took it from the place where I had hidden it. But now it was ruined—of no use at all.
Ouinge nga folokla, ac pacl se nga konauk acn se ma nga okanla we ah, nga liye lah kulawi ac wanginla sripa.
8 Then the word of the LORD came to me:
Na LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
9 “This is what the LORD says: In the same way I will ruin the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem.
“In ouiya se pacna inge, nga fah kunausla inse fulat lun Judah ac filang lulap lun Jerusalem.
10 These evil people, who refuse to listen to My words, who follow the stubbornness of their own hearts, and who go after other gods to serve and worship them, they will be like this loincloth—of no use at all.
Mwet koluk inge elos tia lungse akosyu. Elos likkeke ac orekma koluk oana meet ah, ac elos alu ac kulansupu god ngia. Ke ma inge, elos ac fah oana mwe lohl se inge ma wanginla sripa.
11 For just as a loincloth clings to a man’s waist, so I have made the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah cling to Me, declares the LORD, so that they might be My people for My renown and praise and glory. But they did not listen.
Oana ke sie mwe lohl ac tingilya infulwen sie mwet, ouinge nga tuh finsrak mu mwet Israel ac mwet Judah nukewa in arulana fulme nu sik. Nga oru ouinge tuh elos fah mwet luk, ac elos in kaksakinyu ac akfulatye Inek. Tusruktu elos tiana akosyu.”
12 Therefore you are to tell them that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Every wineskin shall be filled with wine.’ And when they reply, ‘Don’t we surely know that every wineskin should be filled with wine?’
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Jeremiah, fahk nu sin mwet Israel lah sufa in wain nukewa in nwanala ke wain. Elos ac fah topuk mu elos etu lah sufa in wain nukewa enenu in nwanala ke wain.
13 then you are to tell them that this is what the LORD says: ‘I am going to fill with drunkenness all who live in this land—the kings who sit on David’s throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the people of Jerusalem.
Na kom in fahk nu selos lah nga, LEUM GOD, ac fah oru tuh mwet uh in sruhila — aok tokosra ke fwilin tulik natul David, mwet tol, mwet palu, ac mwet Jerusalem nukewa.
14 I will smash them against one another, fathers and sons alike, declares the LORD. I will allow no mercy or pity or compassion to keep Me from destroying them.’”
Toko nga fah fukulya mwet inge oana ke sufa uh afokfoki, mwet matu ac mwet fusr oana sie. Wangin pakomuta, kulang, ku nunak munas fah sruokyuwi liki in onelosla.”
15 Listen and give heed. Do not be arrogant, for the LORD has spoken.
Mwet Israel, LEUM GOD El kaskas tari! Kowos in inse pusisel ac porongel.
16 Give glory to the LORD your God before He brings darkness, before your feet stumble on the dusky mountains. You wait for light, but He turns it into deep gloom and thick darkness.
Akfulatye LEUM GOD lowos, Meet liki El use lohsr Ac kowos tukulkul fineol uh; Meet liki El ekulla kalem se su kowos finsrak nu kac Nu ke lohsr matoltol.
17 But if you do not listen, I will weep in secret because of your pride. My eyes will overflow with tears, because the LORD’s flock has been taken captive.
Kowos fin tia porongo, Nga ac tung in lukma ke sripen inse fulat lowos. Nga fah tung mwemelil, ac sroninmutuk fah kahkla, Mweyen mwet lun God elos utukla nu in sruoh.
18 Say to the king and to the queen mother: “Take a lowly seat, for your glorious crowns have fallen from your heads.”
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Fahk nu sin tokosra ac nina kial in fani liki tron lalos, mweyen tefuro wolana lalos itukla liki sifalos.
19 The cities of the Negev have been shut tight, and no one can open them. All Judah has been carried into exile, wholly taken captive.
Siti lun Judah layen eir kuhlusyuki. Wangin mwet ku in utyak nu we. Mwet Judah nukewa utukla nu in sruoh.”
20 Lift up your eyes and see those coming from the north. Where is the flock entrusted to you, the sheep that were your pride?
Jerusalem, liye! Mwet lokoalok lom pa tuku liki acn epang! Pia mwet itukot tuh kom in karingin uh — mwet lom su kom arulana yukin?
21 What will you say when He sets over you close allies whom you yourself trained? Will not pangs of anguish grip you, as they do a woman in labor?
Mea kom ac fahk ke mwet su kom pangon mu kawuk lom elos kutangkomla ac leum fom? Kom ac keok oana sie mutan isus.
22 And if you ask yourself, “Why has this happened to me?” It is because of the magnitude of your iniquity that your skirts have been stripped off and your body has been exposed.
Kom fin siyuk lah efu ku ma inge sikyak nu sum — efu ku nuknuk lom sisala liki monum ac sruinkuiyuki kom — mweyen ma koluk lom uh arulana yohk.
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Neither are you able to do good— you who are accustomed to doing evil.
Ya sie mwet sroalsroal ku in ekulla tuhnal, ku soko leopard ku in sisla tuhntun kacl? Elos funu ku, na kowos su pahlana in oru ma koluk lukun ku in lotela in oru ma pwaye.
24 “I will scatter you like chaff driven by the desert wind.
LEUM GOD El ac akfahsryekowoselik oana ke eng uh okla kutkut yen mwesis.
25 This is your lot, the portion I have measured to you,” declares the LORD, “because you have forgotten Me and trusted in falsehood.
El fahk mu pa inge ma ac sikyak nu sum tok. Pa inge ma El sulela in oru nu sum, mweyen kom mulkunulla ac lulalfongi ke god ma tia pwaye.
26 So I will pull your skirts up over your face, that your shame may be seen.
LEUM GOD sifacna El ac fah sarukkomla in akmwekinye kom.
27 Your adulteries and lustful neighings, your shameless prostitution on the hills and in the fields— I have seen your detestable acts. Woe to you, O Jerusalem! How long will you remain unclean?”
El liyena ke kom oru ma El srunga. El liye ke kom fahsr tukun god lun mwet pegan fin inging ac acn tupasrpasr, oana sie mukul su rapkui mutan kien mwet tulan lal, ku oana soko horse mukul mwel horse mutan. We nu suwos, mwet Jerusalem! Kowos ac nasnasla ngac?
