Jeremiah 16
1 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
2 “You must not marry or have sons or daughters in this place.”
“Nikmet payuk ku orek tulik in acn se inge.
3 For this is what the LORD says concerning the sons and daughters born in this place, and the mothers who bore them, and the fathers who fathered them in this land:
Nga ac fahk nu sum ma ac sikyak nu sin tulik su ac isusla in acn se inge, oayapa nu sin papa ac nina.
4 “They will die from deadly diseases. They will not be mourned or buried, but will lie like dung on the ground. They will be finished off by sword and famine, and their corpses will become food for the birds of the air and beasts of the earth.”
Elos ac misa ke mas na upa, ac wangin mwet ac tungelos ku puknelosi. Elos ac fah anwuki ke mweun, ku misa ke masrinsral, ac manolos ac fah mwe mongo nun won ac kosro inima uh. Ma lula uh ac fah osralik fin acn uh oana fohkon kosro.
5 Indeed, this is what the LORD says: “Do not enter a house where there is a funeral meal. Do not go to mourn or show sympathy, for I have removed from this people My peace, My loving devotion, and My compassion,” declares the LORD.
“Kom fah tia utyak nu in lohm ma oasr eoksra we. Nik kom tungi kutena mwet. Nga ac tia sifil akinsewowoye mwet luk ke misla, ku akkalemye lungse ac pakoten luk nu selos.
6 “Both great and small will die in this land. They will not be buried or mourned, nor will anyone cut himself or shave his head for them.
Mwet kasrup ac mwet sukasrup fah tukeni misa in acn se inge, tusruktu wangin mwet fah puknelosi ku eoksra kaclos. Wangin mwet fah sipik manol sifacna ku mangsrasrala in akkalemye asor lal.
7 No food will be offered to comfort those who mourn the dead; not even a cup of consolation will be given for the loss of a father or mother.
Wangin mwet ac mongo ku nim yurin kutena mwet in akwoyal ke sie mwet saok lal misa. Ac wangin pac mwet fah fahkak pakomuta la, finne nu selos su papa tuma ku nina kia misa.
8 You must not enter a house where there is feasting and sit down with them to eat and drink.
“Nimet utyak nu in sie lohm ma mwet uh orek kufwa we. Kom in tia pituki yorolos in mongo ac nim.
9 For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I am going to remove from this place, before your very eyes and in your days, the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of the bride and bridegroom.
Porongo ma nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, fahk inge. Nga fah kutongya pusren engan ac insewowo, oayapa pusren pwar ke kufwen marut. Mwet in acn se inge fah moul na in liye ke ma inge ac sikyak.
10 When you tell these people all these things, they will ask you, ‘Why has the LORD pronounced all this great disaster against us? What is our guilt? What is the sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?’
“Ke pacl se kom fahkang ma inge nukewa nu selos, elos ac siyuk sum lah efu ku nga sulela in kalyaelos arulana upa. Elos ac siyuk lah ma sufal fuka elos eis mwata kac, ac ma koluk fuka elos orala lain LEUM GOD lalos.
11 Then you are to answer them: ‘It is because your fathers have forsaken Me, declares the LORD, and followed other gods, and served and worshiped them. They abandoned Me and did not keep My instruction.
Na kom fah fahk nu selos lah LEUM GOD El fahk, ‘Mwet matu lowos forla likiyu, ac elos alu ac kulansupu god ngia. Elos sisyula ac tia akos mwe luti luk.
12 And you have done more evil than your fathers. See how each of you follows the stubbornness of his evil heart instead of obeying Me.
Na kowos oru koluk yohk liki mwet matu lowos. Kowos nukewa likkeke ac orekma koluk, ac tia akosyu.
13 So I will cast you out of this land into a land that neither you nor your fathers have known. There you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.’
Ke ma inge, nga fah siskowosla liki facl se inge nu in sie facl ma kowos, ac mwet matu lowos, tia etu kac. Na kowos fah kulansupu god saya ke len ac fong, ac nga fah tiana pakomutowos.’”
14 Yet behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when they will no longer say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of Egypt.’
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Pacl se ac tuku ke mwet uh ac tia sifil fulahk keik mu ‘Oana ke God El moul, su tuh molela mwet Israel liki facl Egypt.’
15 Instead they will say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north and all the other lands to which He had banished them.’ For I will return them to their land that I gave to their forefathers.
A ma elos ac oru pa elos ac fulahk keik mu, ‘Oana ke God El moul, su tuh molela mwet Israel liki mutunfacl epang ac liki mutunfacl saya nukewa,’ yen nga luselosla nu we. Nga fah folokunulosme nu in facl selos sifacna, nu yen ma nga sang nu sin mwet matu lalos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
16 But for now I will send for many fishermen, declares the LORD, and they will catch them. After that I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them down on every mountain and hill, even from the clefts of the rocks.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga ac solama mwet patur puspis in tuku sruok mwet inge. Toko nga fah sapwalik mwet sruh kosro in sokolos yen nukewa fineol uh ac inging uh ac in luf inmasrlon eot uh.
17 For My eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from My face, and their guilt is not concealed from My eyes.
Nga liye ma nukewa elos oru, ac wangin ma wikla likiyu. Ma koluk lalos uh kalem ye mutuk.
18 And I will first repay them double their iniquity and their sin, because they have defiled My land with the carcasses of their detestable idols, and they have filled My inheritance with their abominations.”
Nga fah oru elos in moli pacl luo ke tafongla ac ma koluk lalos, mweyen elos aktaekye facl sik ke ma sruloala ma wangin moul la oana monin mwet misa, ac elos nwakla acn uh ke god kikiap lalos.”
19 O LORD, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in the day of distress, the nations will come to You from the ends of the earth, and they will say, “Our fathers inherited nothing but lies, worthless idols of no benefit at all.
O LEUM GOD, kom pa langoeyu ac akkeyeyu. Kom kasreyu ke pacl koluk. Mutunfaclu ac fah tuku nu yurum liki saflaiyen faclu ac fahk, “Wangin god lun mwet matu lasr sayen god kikiap mukena, ac ma sruloala wangin sripa.
20 Can man make gods for himself? Such are not gods!”
Ya oasr mwet ku in sifacna orek god la? Tia ku. El fin orala, ac tiana god pwaye.”
21 “Therefore behold, I will inform them, and this time I will make them know My power and My might; then they will know that My name is the LORD.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ke ma inge, nga fah fahkak nu sin mutunfacl uh tuh elos in etu ke ku luk ac ke ku lun pouk. Inge ac nu tok, elos fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.”
