Jeremiah 48
1 Concerning Moab, this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Woe to Nebo, for it will be devastated. Kiriathaim will be captured and disgraced; the fortress will be shattered and dismantled.
Pa inge ma LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk ke acn Moab: “Pakomuta mwet Nebo, Siti selos uh kunausyukla! Sruoh tari siti Kiriathaim, Pot kulana we ikruiyuki, Ac mwet we akmwekinyeyuk;
2 There is no longer praise for Moab; in Heshbon they devise evil against her: ‘Come, let us cut her off from nationhood.’ You too, O people of Madmen, will be silenced; the sword will pursue you.
Oasku lun Moab wanginla. Mwet lokoalok elos sruokya acn Heshbon Ac akoo in sukela mutunfacl Moab nufon. Ac fah wanginla pusra lohngyuk in siti Madmen; Un mwet mweun ac fah mukuiyak in mweuni.
3 A voice cries out from Horonaim: ‘Devastation and great destruction!’
Mwet in acn Horonaim wowoyak ac fahk, “Yoklana mwe lokoalok! Yoklana mwe ongoiya!”
4 Moab will be shattered; her little ones will cry out.
“Sikiyukla acn Moab. Lohng ke tulik uh tung.
5 For on the ascent to Luhith they weep bitterly as they go, and on the descent to Horonaim cries of distress resound over the destruction:
Lohng pusren mwemelil lalos Ke elos ututyak innek nu Luhith, Ac tung in ongoiya lalos Ke elos tufokla ke innek nu Horonaim.
6 ‘Flee! Run for your lives! Become like a juniper in the desert.’
Elos fahk, ‘Sulaklak, kaing! Suk moul lowos! Kasrusr oana soko donkey lemnak yen mwesis!’
7 Because you trust in your works and treasures, you too will be captured, and Chemosh will go into exile with his priests and officials.
“Moab, kom filiya lulalfongi lom in ku lom ac mwe kasrup lom, Tusruktu, kom ac fah kutangyukla. Chemosh, god lom, fah utukla nu in sruoh, Wi fisrak ac mwet tol lal.
8 The destroyer will move against every city, and not one town will escape. The valley will also be ruined, and the high plain will be destroyed, as the LORD has said.
Siti nukewa ac fah kunausyukla; Infahlfal uh ac acn tupasrpasr ac fah sikiyukla pac. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
9 Put salt on Moab, for she will be laid waste; her cities will become desolate, with no one to dwell in them.
Tulokunak sie eot in kulyuk lun acn Moab. Ac tia paht el musalla. Siti we ac fah filfilla in kulawi, Ac wangin mwet fah sifilpa muta we.” (
10 Cursed is the one who is remiss in doing the work of the LORD, and cursed is he who withholds his sword from bloodshed.
Selngawiyuk mwet se su tia oru orekma lun LEUM GOD ke insial nufon! Selngawiyuk mwet se su sruokya cutlass natul in tia aksororye srah!)
11 Moab has been at ease from youth, settled like wine on its dregs; he has not been poured from vessel to vessel or gone into exile. So his flavor has remained the same, and his aroma is unchanged.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Oemeet me acn Moab oanna okak — soenna utukla nu in sruoh. Moab el oana wain ma filiyuki in oan sraholu — tia mokleyuk ku okwok liki sufa nu ke sufa, pwanang emah uh, ac fohlo, tia ekla; oanna wo.
12 Therefore behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will send to him wanderers, who will pour him out. They will empty his vessels and shatter his jars.
“Tusruktu pacl se ac tuku ke nga fah supwala mwet in okoala acn Moab oana wain. Elos fah okoala nwe ke lisr, ac elos fah fukulya sufa uh nu ke ip sririk.
13 Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, just as the house of Israel was ashamed when they trusted in Bethel.
Na mwet Moab ac fah tia sifil lulalfongel Chemosh, god lalos, oana ke mwet Israel tuh fuhleak lulalfongi lalos kacl Bethel, sie god elos tuh lulalfongi meet.
14 How can you say, ‘We are warriors, mighty men ready for battle’?
“Mukul Moab, efu kowos ku fahk mu kowos mwet mweun watwen, Mwet pulaik ac fokoko ke mweun?
15 Moab has been destroyed and its towns have been invaded; the best of its young men have gone down in the slaughter, declares the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts.
Moab ac siti we kunausyukla; Mukul fusr pisrla we anwuki. Nga pa tokosra, LEUM GOD Kulana, Ac nga pa fahk ma inge.
16 Moab’s calamity is at hand, and his affliction is rushing swiftly.
Mwe ongoiya lulap apkunme in sun acn Moab; Mwe keok lal uh ac sa na sikyak.
17 Mourn for him, all you who surround him, everyone who knows his name; tell how the mighty scepter is shattered— the glorious staff!
“Tungi mutunfacl sac, kowos su muta apkuran, Kowos nukewa su etu pungal. Fahk mu, ‘Ku lun tokosrai lal musalla; Wolana ac ku lal wanginla.’
18 Come down from your glory; sit on parched ground, O daughter dwelling in Dibon, for the destroyer of Moab has come against you; he has destroyed your fortresses.
Kowos su muta Dibon, Tufokme liki acn fulat suwos Ac muta fin fohk uh in kutkut uh. Mwet se ma ac kunausla Moab oasr inge, El kunausla tari pot ku we.
19 Stand by the road and watch, O dweller of Aroer! Ask the man fleeing or the woman escaping, ‘What has happened?’
Kowos su muta Aroer, Tu sisken inkanek uh ac soano. Siyuk selos su kaing Lah mea sikyak.
20 Moab is put to shame, for it has been shattered. Wail and cry out! Declare by the Arnon that Moab is destroyed.
Na elos ac topuk, ‘Acn Moab ikori. Kowos in tungi, mweyen Moab el arulana tonongla. Sulkakinelik pe Infacl Arnon Lah Moab sikiyukla!’
21 Judgment has come upon the high plain— upon Holon, Jahzah, and Mephaath,
“Nununku tuku tari nu fin siti inge su oan yen tupasrpasr: Holon, Jahzah, Mephaath,
22 upon Dibon, Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim,
Dibon, Nebo, Beth Diblathaim,
23 upon Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon,
Kiriathaim, Bethgamul, Bethmeon,
24 upon Kerioth, Bozrah, and all the towns of Moab, those far and near.
Kerioth, ac Bozrah. Nununku tuku nu fin siti nukewa in acn Moab, loes ac apkuran.
25 The horn of Moab has been cut off, and his arm is broken,”
Ku lun Moab itungyuki; kufwen mwe mweun lal kipatpatu. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
26 “Make him drunk, because he has magnified himself against the LORD; so Moab will wallow in his own vomit, and he will also become a laughingstock.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Oru acn Moab in sruhila, mweyen el utuk nunak lainyu. Moab el fah ipippip in woht lal sifacna, ac mwet uh ac isrunul.
27 Was not Israel your object of ridicule? Was he ever found among thieves? For whenever you speak of him you shake your head.
Moab, kom esam ke kom aksruksruki mwet Israel? Kom lumahlos oana un mwet ingunyar.
28 Abandon the towns and settle among the rocks, O dwellers of Moab! Be like a dove that nests at the mouth of a cave.
“Kowos su muta in Moab, tuyak som liki siti suwos ac muta fin fulu uh, oana wuleoa ma oru ahng lalos sisken acn oatu in eot uh.
29 We have heard of Moab’s pomposity, his exceeding pride and conceit, his proud arrogance and haughtiness of heart.
Moab el arulana inse fulat! Nga lohng luman filang, enum ac ekak lun mwet we, ac lah elos arulana nunku kaclos sifacna.
30 I know his insolence,” declares the LORD, “but it is futile. His boasting is as empty as his deeds.
Nga, LEUM GOD, etu ke tungak lalos. Konkin lalos uh wanginna sripa, ac ma elos oru ac tiana oan paht.
31 Therefore I will wail for Moab; I will cry out for all of Moab; I will moan for the men of Kir-heres.
Ke ma inge nga fah tungi mwet nukewa in acn Moab, oayapa ke mwet Kir Heres.
32 I will weep for you, O vine of Sibmah, more than I weep for Jazer. Your tendrils have extended to the sea; they reach even to Jazer. The destroyer has descended on your summer fruit and grape harvest.
Nga fah tungi mwet Jazer, ac nga ac tungi mwet Sibmah yohk liki. Siti Sibmah, kom oana oa in grape soko ma lah kac tupalla sun Meoa Misa, ac som pacna nwe Jazer. Tusruktu inge grape sunom ac fokinsak lom ke pacl fol uh sikiyukla.
33 Joy and gladness are removed from the orchard and from the fields of Moab. I have stopped the flow of wine from the presses; no one treads them with shouts of joy; their shouts are not for joy.
Wanginla pusren engan ac insewowo in facl Moab, sie acn ma wo fohk we. Nga tulokinya wain in tia soror liki nien orek wain. Wanginna mwet in fut grape uh, oru wangin sasa ke engan.
34 There is a cry from Heshbon to Elealeh; they raise their voices to Jahaz, from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah; for even the waters of Nimrim have dried up.
“Mwet Heshbon ac Elealeh wowoyak tung, ac pusralos ku in lohngyuk oe Jahaz. Ku in lohngyuk pac sin mwet Zoar, ac lohngyuk pac e Horonaim ac Eglath Shelishiyah. Finne infacl srisrik Nimrim, paola pac.
35 In Moab, declares the LORD, I will bring an end to those who make offerings on the high places and burn incense to their gods.
Nga fah tulokinya mwet Moab liki orek mwe kisa firir ke acn in alu lalos, ac liki orek kisa nu sin god lalos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
36 Therefore My heart laments like a flute for Moab; it laments like a flute for the men of Kir-heres, because the wealth they acquired has perished.
“Ouinge insiuk eoksra kacl Moab ac ke mwet Kir Heres, oana sie mwet su oru on in pukmas ke mwe ukuk natul, mweyen ma nukewa lalos wanginla.
37 For every head is shaved and every beard is clipped; on every hand is a gash, and around every waist is sackcloth.
Ke sripen asor lalos, elos nukewa mangsrasrala ac kalla altalos. Elos nukewa sipik paolos, ac nukum nuknuk yohk eoa.
38 On all the rooftops of Moab and in the public squares, everyone is mourning; for I have shattered Moab like an unwanted jar,”
Fin lohm nukewa Moab ac ke nien toeni nukewa, wangin ma orek sayen eoksra, mweyen nga fukulya acn Moab oana soko sufa fukulyuki ma wangin mwet enenu.
39 “How shattered it is! How they wail! How Moab has turned his back in shame! Moab has become an object of ridicule and horror to all those around him.”
Kowos in wowoyak ke tung, mweyen acn Moab fukulyuki ac akmwekinyeyuk. El kunanula ac mutunfacl nukewa raunelak israsrinkusrael. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
40 For this is what the LORD says: “Behold, an eagle swoops down and spreads his wings against Moab.
LEUM GOD El wulela mu sie mutunfacl ac fah tuhwi nu fin Moab, oana sie eagle ma asroelik posohksok lal,
41 Kirioth has been taken, and the strongholds seized. In that day the heart of Moab’s warriors will be like the heart of a woman in labor.
na siti ac pot ku nukewa ac fah sruoh. In len sac mwet mweun lun Moab ac fah arulana sangeng, oana sie mutan ke pacl in isus lal.
42 Moab will be destroyed as a nation because he vaunted himself against the LORD.
Moab ac sikiyuk tuh in tia sifilpa sie mutunfacl, mweyen el likkeke lainyu.
43 Terror and pit and snare await you, O dweller of Moab,”
Sangeng, ac luf, ac sruhf oan soano mwet Moab. LEUM GOD pa fahk ma inge.
44 “Whoever flees the panic will fall into the pit, and whoever climbs from the pit will be caught in the snare. For I will bring upon Moab the year of their punishment,”
Kutena mwet su srike in kaingla liki mwe aksangeng inge fah putatyang nu in luf uh, ac kutena mwet su fanyak liki luf uh, ac fah sremla ke sruhf, mweyen LEUM GOD El oakiya tari pacl in kalyei nu sin Moab.
45 “Those who flee will stand helpless in Heshbon’s shadow, because fire has gone forth from Heshbon and a flame from within Sihon. It devours the foreheads of Moab and the skulls of the sons of tumult.
Mwet uh kaing in suk molela in acn Heshbon, siti se ma Tokosra Sihon el tuh leumi meet, tusruktu firiryak acn we. E uh esukak mangon eol ac masrol lun acn sin mwet Moab su lungsena orek mweun.
46 Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh have perished; for your sons have been taken into exile and your daughters have gone into captivity.
Pakomuta mwet Moab! Kunausyukla mwet ma alu nu sel Chemosh, ac utukla wen ac acn natulos nu in sruoh.
47 Yet in the latter days I will restore Moab from captivity,” declares the LORD. Here ends the judgment on Moab.
Tusruktu sie len, LEUM GOD El ac fah sifil akwoyeak acn Moab. LEUM GOD El fahk lah ma inge nukewa ac sikyak nu ke acn Moab.
