Jeremias 18
1 The word that came from the Lord to
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
2 Jeremias, saying, Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there thou shalt hear my words.
“Oatula nu ke lohm sin mwet orek ahlu ke fohk kle, ac ingo nga fah sot nu sum kas ma nga lungse kom in fahkak.”
3 So I went down to the potter's house, and behold, he was making a vessel on the stones.
Ouinge nga som nu we, ac nga liyauk mwet orek ahlu sac ke el orekma ke wheel in orekma lal.
4 And the vessel which he was making with his hands fell: so he made it again another vessel, as it seemed good to him to make [it].
El fin orala sie ahlu tuh tia sun lungse lal, el ac eis kle sac ac ekulla nu ke sie pacna lumah.
5 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
6 Shall I not be able, O house of Israel, to do to you as this potter? behold, as the clay of the potter are ye in my hands.
“Ya tia oasr ku luk in oru nu suwos, mwet Israel, oana ke mwet orek ahlu se ac oru ke kle lal uh? Kowos muta inpouk oana ke kle uh oan inpoun mwet orek ahlu.
7 [If] I shall pronounce a decree upon a nation, or upon a kingdom, to cut them off, and to destroy [them];
Nga fin fahk ke kutu pacl mu nga ac fusak, koteya, ku kunausla kutena mutunfacl ku tokosrai,
8 and that nation turn from all their sins, then will I repent of the evils which I purposed to do to them.
a toko mutunfacl sac forla liki orekma koluk lal, na nga ac tila oru ma nga tuh fahkla mu nga ac oru.
9 And [if] I shall pronounce a decree upon a nation and kingdom, to rebuild and to plant [it];
Ku nga fin fahk mu nga ac musaeak ku akkeye sie mutunfacl ku tokosrai,
10 and they do evil before me, so as not to hearken to my voice, then will I repent of the good which I spoke of, to do it to them.
na toko mutunfacl sac tia akosyu ac orekma koluk, na nga ac tila oru ma nga fahkla mu nga ac oru.
11 And now say to the men of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Behold, I prepare evils against you, and devise a device against you: let every one turn now from his evil way, and amend your practices.
Ke ma inge, fahkang nu sin mwet Judah ac mwet Jerusalem lah nga akoo in lainulos ac kalyaelos. Fahkang elos in tui liki moul koluk lalos, ac aolla ouiya ma elos oru ingan.
12 And they said, We will quit ourselves like men, for we will pursue our perverse ways, and we will perform each the lusts of his evil heart.
Elos ac topuk kom ac fahk, “Mo, efu ku kut in tui? Kut ac likkekena ac oru na ma koluk ke lungse lasr.”
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Enquire now among the nations, who has heard such very horrible things as the virgin of Israel has done?
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Siyuk sin mutunfacl nukewa lah nu oasr pacl ma Kain ouiya inge nu sikyak meet. Ouiya na koluk se pa mwet Israel uh oru inge!
14 Will fertilising streams fail [to flow] from a rock, or snow [fail] from Libanus? will water violently impelled by the wind turn aside?
Ya nu oasr pacl wanginla snow fin acn eoteot fulat Lebanon? Ya sungan infacl oyohu we uh nu oasr pacl mihnla?
15 For my people have forgotten me, they have offered incense in vain, and they fail in their ways, [leaving] the ancient tracks, to enter upon impassable paths;
Ma inge finne fahsrna wo, a mwet luk uh mulkinyula. Elos esukak mwe keng nu ke ma sruloala. Elos tukulkul ke inkanek lalos. Elos tia sifilpa fahsr ke ouiya meet ah, A elos fahsr ke inkanek ma tia akilenyuki.
16 to make their land a desolation, and a perpetual hissing; all that go through it shall be amazed, and shall shake their heads.
Elos orala acn se inge in sie mwe aksangeng, Ma ac srungayukla nwe tok. Elos nukewa su fahsr we ac fah arulana lut ke ma elos liye. Elos ac fah usruk sifalos ke fwefela lalos.
17 I will scatter them before their enemies like an east wind; I will shew them the day of their destruction.
Nga ac fah luselik mwet luk ye mutun mwet lokoalok lalos, Oana ke kutkut uh ukukla ke eng kutulap. Nga ac fah ngetla lukelos, Ac tia kasrelos ke pacl in ongoiya nu selos.”
18 Then they said, Come, and let us devise a device against Jeremias; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and we will hear all his words.
Na mwet uh fahk, “Wona in oasr ma kut oru nu sel Jeremiah! Oasr mwet tol yorosr in luti kut, ac mwet lalmwetmet in aknunakye kut, ac mwet palu in fahkak kas lun God nu sesr. Lela kut in orek loh kikiap lainul ac tia sifil lohng ma el fahk uh.”
19 Hear me, O Lord, and hear the voice of my pleading.
Na nga pre ac fahk, “LEUM GOD, lipsre pre luk, ac porongo ma mwet lokoalok luk inge fahk keik.
20 Forasmuch as evil is rewarded for good; for they have spoken words against my soul, and they have hidden the punishment they [meant] for me; remember that I stood before thy face, to speak good for them, to turn away thy wrath from them.
Ya ma koluk uh pa molin ma wo? A liye, elos pukanak luf se nu sik nga in putatyang nu loac. Esam lah nga tuh tuku nu yurum in kwafe kaclos, ac srike in loangelos liki kasrkusrak lom.
21 Therefore do thou deliver their sons to famine, and gather them to the power of the sword: let their women be childless and widows; and let their men be cut off by death, and their young men fall by the sword in war.
Ke ma inge, LEUM GOD, lela tulik natulos in misa ke masrinsral, ac in anwuki pac ke mweun. Lela mukul uh in misa ke mas ac mwet fusr in anwuki ke mweun. Mutan an in katinmasla, ac wangin tulik natulos.
22 Let there be a cry in their houses: thou shalt bring upon them robbers suddenly: for they have formed a plan to take me, and have hidden snares for me.
Supwala sie un mwet koluk in kunausya lohm selos ac usla koano uh ke wangin eteya selos. Oru elos in wowoyak ke tuninfong. Mwet inge pukanak sie luf nga in putatyang nu loac, ac oakiya mwe kwasrip in sruokyuwi.
23 And thou, Lord, knowest all their deadly counsel against me: account not their iniquities guiltless, and blot not out their sins from before thee: let their weakness come before thee; deal with them in the time of thy wrath.
LEUM GOD, kom etu nufon pwapa lalos in uniyuwi. Nikmet nunak munas nu selos ke orekma koluk lalos, ku tulalosla liki ma sufal lalos. Siselosi nu in fohk uh ac kutangulosla. Oru ma inge nu selos in kasrkusrak lom.”
