< Jeremias 5 >

1 Run ye about in the streets of Jerusalem, and see, and know, and seek in her broad places, if ye can find [one], if there is any one that does judgment, and seeks faithfulness; and I will pardon them, saith the Lord.
Mwet Jerusalem, yuwot yume ke inkanek nukewa! Liye akwoya yen nukewa! Suk pac ke acn in kuka! Suk lah kom ac ku in konauk sie mwet Su oru ma suwohs ac inse pwaye nu sin God. Kowos fin ku in konauk sie, na LEUM GOD El fah nunak munas nu sin mwet Jerusalem nukewa.
2 The Lord lives, they say; do they not therefore swear falsely?
Kowos finne orala fulahk lowos ke Inen LEUM GOD moul, A ma kowos fahk uh kikiap.
3 O Lord, thine eyes are upon faithfulness: thou hast scourged them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them; but they would not receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; and they would not return.
Pwayena lah LEUM GOD El suk mwet inse pwaye. El sringil kowos, a kowos tia mayak kac. El itungkowosi, a kowos tia lungse in aksuwosyeyuk kowos. Kowos likkeke ac tiana forla liki ma koluk lowos.
4 Then I said, It may be they are poor; for they are weak, for they know not the way of the Lord, or the judgment of God.
Na nga nunku, “Mwet inge mwet sukasrup ac mwet nikin. Ma elos oru uh lalfon; Elos tia etu lah mea God El enenu selos, Ac mea LEUM GOD El lungse elos in oru.
5 I will go to the rich men, and will speak to them; for they have known the way of the Lord, and the judgment of God: but, behold, with one consent they have broken the yoke, they have burst the bonds.
Nga ac som nu yurin mwet kol Ac kaskas nu selos. Sahp elos pa etu lah mea God lalos enenu selos, Ac mea LEUM GOD El lungse elos in oru.” Tusruktu mwet kol nukewa tia lungse muta ye ku lun LEUM GOD, Ac srunga pac aksol.
6 Therefore has a lion out of the forest smitten them, and a wolf has destroyed them even to [their] houses, and a leopard has watched against their cities: all that go forth from them shall be hunted: for they have multiplied their ungodliness, they have strengthened themselves in their revoltings.
Pa sis lion insak uh fah onelosi; Wolf yen mwesis me fah seseya manolos, Ac leopard uh ac forfor in siti selos ac suk ma nac. Mwet ingo fin tufoki liki lohm selos, ac fah seyuki manolos Mweyen ma koluk lalos uh arulana pus, Ac pusla pacl elos forla liki God.
7 In what [way] shall I forgive thee for these things? Thy sons have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: and I fed them to the full, and they committed adultery, and lodged in harlots' houses.
LEUM GOD El siyuk, “Efu ku nga in nunak munas nu sin mwet luk ke ma koluk lalos? Elos ngetla likiyu Ac alu nu ke god sutuu lun facl saya. Nga kite mwet luk nwe ke elos kihpi, A elos orek kosro Ac sisla pacl lalos yurin mutan su kukakin manolos.
8 They became as wanton horses: they neighed each one after his neighbour's wife.
Kowos wella in suk in oru lungse koluk lowos nu sin mutan kien mwet tulan lowos, Oana horse mukul ma kitakat wo ke elos sukna horse mutan uh.
9 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this.
Ya tia fal nga in kalyaelos ke ma elos oru inge, Ac oru foloksak luk nu sin mutunfacl se su ouinge?
10 Go up upon her battlements, and break [them] down; but make not a full end: leave her buttresses: for they are the Lord's.
Nga fah supwala mwet lokoalok in fahsr inmasrlon takin grape sunun mwet luk Ac pakpakiya, tusruktu in tia kunausla nufon. Nga fah fahk elos in kotala lah ke grape uh, Mweyen lah ingan tia ma luk.
11 For the house of Israel have indeed dealt treacherously against me, saith the Lord: the house of Juda also
Mwet Israel ac mwet Judah Arulana pilesreyu. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
12 have lied to their Lord, and they have said, These things are not so; no evils shall come upon us; and we shall not see sword or famine.
Mwet lun LEUM GOD elos lafwekunul ac elos fahk, “Wangin ma El ac oru. Wangin ma upa ac sikyak nu sesr. Ac fah wangin mweun, ku pacl in sracl.
13 Our prophets became wind, and the word of the Lord was not in them.
Kas lun mwet palu inge wangin kalmac, oana eng tuhtuh. Tia God pa kaskas nu selos. Ongoiya ma elos palye ingan ac ma na nu selos sifacna!”
14 Therefore thus saith the Lord Almighty, Because ye have spoken this word, behold, I have made my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk nu sik, “Jeremiah, mweyen mwet inge fahk kain kas inge, nga fah oru kas luk in oana sie e in oalum. Mwet uh ac fah oana etong, ac e uh ac fah esukulosyak.”
15 Behold, I [will] bring upon you a nation from far, O house of Israel, saith the Lord; a nation the sound of whose language one shall not understand.
Mwet Israel, LEUM GOD El ac use sie mutunfacl yen loesla me in lain kowos. Sie mutunfacl oemeet me su arulana ku, sie mutunfacl su kowos tia etu kas la.
16 [They are] all mighty men:
Mwet pisr lalos elos mwet mweun kulana su uniya ke wangin pakomuta.
17 and they shall devour your harvest, and your bread; and shall devour your sons, and your daughters; and they shall devour your sheep, and your calves, and devour your vineyards, and your fig-plantations, and your olive yards: and they shall utterly destroy your strong cities, wherein ye trusted, with the sword.
Elos fah kangla fokin ima lowos, oayapa mwe mongo nowos. Elos fah uniya wen ac acn nutuwos. Elos ac lusluseya un sheep ac un cow nutuwos, ac sukela ima in grape ac sak fig sunowos. Mwet mweun lalos ac fah kunausla siti potyak ku lowos, su yohk lulalfongi lowos kac.
18 And it shall come to pass in those days, saith the Lord thy God, that I will not utterly destroy you.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ne ouinge, in len ingo nga fah tia sukela nufon mwet luk uh.
19 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore has the Lord our God done all these things to us? that thou shalt say to them, Because ye served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.
Ke elos ac siyuk sripen nga oru ma inge nukewa, na Jeremiah, fahk nu selos lah ke sripen elos forla likiyu ac orekma nu sin god saya uh in facl selos sifacna, ouinge elos fah kulansupu mwet saya in sie facl ma tia ma selos.”
20 Proclaim these things to the house of Jacob, and let them be heard in the house of Juda.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Fahkang nu sin fwilin tulik natul Jacob, ac fahkeng nu sin mwet Judah:
21 Hear ye now these things, O foolish and senseless people; who have eyes, and see not; and have ears, and hear not:
Porongeyu, kowos mwet lalfon ac mwet sulalkung, su oasr muta tuh tiana liye; su oasr srac tuh tiana lohng.
22 will ye not be afraid of me? saith the Lord; and will ye not fear before me, who have set the sand for a bound to the sea, [as] a perpetual ordinance, and it shall not pass it: yea, it shall rage, but not prevail; and its waves shall roar, but not pass over it.
Nga LEUM GOD. Efu kowos ku tia sangeng sik? Efu kowos ku tia rarrar ye mutuk? Nga oakiya puk uh mu pa inge masrol lun meoa uh, sie masrol oakwuk nwe tok ma meoa uh tia ku in alukela. Noa uh finne ngirngir ac toki weacn uh, a tia ku in som alukela.
23 But this people has a disobedient and rebellious heart; and they have turned aside and gone back:
A kowos mwet uh, kowos likkeke ac lungse alein. Kowos kuhfla nu saya ac som likiyu.
24 and they have not said in their heart, Let us fear now the Lord our God, who gives us the early and latter rain, according to the season of the fulfillment of the ordinance of harvest, and has preserved [it] for us.
Wanginna nunak in sunakinyu, nga finne supu af in taknelik ac af in kosrani, ac sot nu suwos pacl in kosrani ke kais sie yac.
25 Your transgressions have turned away these things, and your sins have removed good things from you.
A ma koluk lowos kosrala ma wo inge liki kowos.
26 For among my people were found ungodly men; and they have set snares to destroy men, and have caught [them].
“Oasr mwet koluk muta inmasrlon mwet luk uh. Elos wikla soano oana mwet ma likiya mwe sruhf in sruokya won, tusruktu elos filiya sruhf lalos in sruok mwet.
27 As a snare which has been set is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore have they grown great, and become rich:
Oana ke sie mwet sruh won el nwakla kalkal lal uh ke won, ouinge elos nwakla lohm selos ke ma elos eisla lun mwet uh. Pa oru elos kulana ac kasrup;
28 and they have transgressed [the rule of] judgment; they have not judged the cause of the orphan, nor have they judged the cause of the widow.
pa oru elos fact ac kihp. Wangin saflaiyen orekma koluk lalos. Elos tia sang suwohs nu sin tulik mukaimtal ku oru nununku suwohs nu sin mwet enenu.
29 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Tusruktu nga, LEUM GOD, fah kaelos ke ma elos oru inge. Nga fah orek foloksak nu sin mutunfacl se inge.
30 Shocking and horrible deeds have been done on the land;
Sie ma koluklana ac mwe lut sikyak tari fin facl se inge:
31 the prophets utter unrighteous prophecies, and the priests have clapped their hands: and my people has loved [to have it] thus: and what will ye do for the future.
mwet palu tia fahk ma pwaye a kikiap mukena; ac mwet tol uh kol mwet uh oana ma mwet palu sapkin, ac mwet luk uh tiana lain. Na mea elos ac oru pacl se ke ma nukewa sun saflaiya uh?”
