Jeremias 23
1 Woe to the shepherds that destroy and scatter the sheep of their pasture!
Fuka upaiyen nununku lun LEUM GOD nu faclos mwet kol su kunausla mwet lal ac luseloselik.
2 Therefore thus says the Lord against them that tend my people; You have scattered my sheep, and driven them out, and you have not visited them: behold, I [will] take vengeance upon you according to your evil practices.
Pa inge ma LEUM GOD lun Israel El fahk ke mwet kol su tuh akoeyukla in karingin mwet lal: “Kowos tuh tia karinganang mwet luk. Kowos ukwalosyak ac luselosla. Inge nga ac kai kowos ke sripen ma koluk ma kowos oru inge.
3 And I will gather in the remnant of my people in every land, whither I have driven them out, and will set them in their pasture; and they shall increase and be multiplied.
Nga fah usani mwet lula luk liki facl ma nga akfahsryeloselik nu we, ac nga fah folokunulosme nu in facl selos. Ac fah pukanten tulik natulos, ac elos ac fah arulana puseni.
4 And I will raise up shepherds to them, who shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be alarmed, says the Lord.
Nga fah srisrngiya mwet kol in karinganulos. Mwet luk ac fah tia sifilpa sangeng ku tuninfongla, ac nga ac tia sifilpa kalyaelos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
5 Behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will raise up to David a righteous branch, and a king shall reign and understand, and shall execute judgement and righteousness on the earth.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Pacl se ac fah tuku ke nga fah sulela sie tokosra, sie mwet suwoswos ke fwilin tulik natul David. Tokosra sac ac fah lalmwetmet in kol, ac oru ma pwaye ac suwohs in facl se inge nufon.
6 In his days both Juda shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell securely: and this is his name, which the Lord shall call him, Josedec amongst the prophets.
Pacl se el ac tokosrala uh, mwet Judah fah moul in sukosok, ac mwet Israel fah moul in misla. El ac fah pangpang ‘LEUM GOD Suwoswos Lasr.’
7 Therefore, behold, the days come, says the Lord, when they shall no more say, The Lord lives, who brought up the house of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Pacl se ac fah tuku ke mwet uh fah tia sifilpa fulahk keik mu, ‘Oana ke God El moul su tuh molela mwet Israel liki facl Egypt.’
8 but The Lord lives, who has gathered the whole seed of Israel from the north land, and from all the countries whither he [had] driven them out, and has restored them into their own land.
A elos ac fah fulahk keik mu, ‘Oana ke God El moul su tuh molela mwet Israel liki sie mutunfacl epang ac liki mutunfacl saya nukewa El tuh akfahsryeloselik nu we.’ Na elos fah muta in facl selos sifacna.”
9 My heart is broken within me; all my bones are shaken: I am become as a broken-down man, and as a man overcome with wine, because of the Lord, and because of the excellence of his glory.
Insiuk arulana musalla, Ac nga rarrar. Nga oana mwet sruhi se, Oana sie mwet ma yokla wain numla, Ke sripen LEUM GOD Ac ke sripen kas mutal lal.
10 For because of these things the land mourns; the pastures of the wilderness are dried up; and their course is become evil, and so [also] their strength.
Facl se inge sessesla ke mwet tia pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD. Elos moulkin moul sulallal, ac elos orekmakin ku lalos ke inkanek sufal. Acn uh paola Ac sroun ima uh uli, ke sripen selnga lun LEUM GOD.
11 For priest and prophet are defiled; and I have seen their iniquities in my house.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet palu ac mwet tol elos moul oana mwet tia etu God. Nga sifacna liye ke elos oru ma koluk in Tempul.
12 Therefore let their way be to them slippery and dark: and they shall be tripped up and fall in it: for I will bring evils upon them, in the year of their visitation.
Inkanek elos fahsr we ac fah musresre ac lohsr. Nga fah oru elos in tukulkul ac ikori. Nga ac fah sang ongoiya nu faclos; Pacl in kalyeiyuk lalos summa. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
13 And in the prophets of Samaria I have seen lawless deeds; they prophesied by Baal, and led my people Israel astray.
Nga liye tari ma koluk lun mwet palu Samaria: Elos kaskas inen Baal, Ac kolla mwet luk ke inkanek tafongla.
14 Also in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen horrible things: as they committed adultery, and walked in lies, and strengthened the hands of many, that they should not return each from his evil way: they are all become to me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrha.
Tusruktu nga liye tuh mwet palu Jerusalem elos oru koluk yohk liki na: Elos kosro ac fahsr ke moul tia pwaye. Elos akkeye mwet uh in oru na ma koluk, Pwanang elos tia forla liki orekma koluk lalos. In liye luk uh, elos nukewa koluk Oapana mwet Sodom ac Gomorrah.
15 Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I will feed them with pain, and give them bitter water to drink: for from the prophets of Jerusalem has defilement gone forth [into] all the land.
“Ke ma inge, pa inge ma nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, fahk ke mwet palu lun Jerusalem: Nga fah sang nu selos sak mwen elos in kang Ac pwasin nu selos elos in nim, Mweyen elos oru tuh moul in pilesru God in fahsrelik fin facl se inge nufon.”
16 Thus says the Lord Almighty, Listen not to the words of the prophets: for they frame a vain vision for themselves; they speak from their own heart, and not from the mouth of the Lord.
LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk nu sin mwet Jerusalem, “Nik kowos porongo ma mwet palu elos fahk. Elos nwekkowosla ke finsrak na sutuu. Ma elos fahk nu suwos uh ma na elos sifacna nunku, ac tia ma nga fahk.
17 They say to them that reject the word of the Lord, There shall be peace to you; and to all that walk after their own lusts, and to everyone that walks in the error of his heart, they have said, No evil shall come upon you.
Nu sin mwet ma tia lungse lohng ma nga fahk uh, elos fahk na mu ma nukewa ac wona nu selos. Ac elos fahk nu sin mwet likkeke uh mu mwe ongoiya ac fah tiana sonolos.”
18 For who has stood in the counsel of the Lord, and seen his word? who has listened, and heard?
Na nga fahk, “Tia sie sin mwet palu inge etu ke nunak lukma lun LEUM GOD. Wangin selos nu lohng ku kalem ke kas in fahkak lal, ku porongo ac lohang nu ke ma El fahk.
19 Behold, [there is] an earthquake from the Lord, and anger proceeds to a convulsion, it shall come violently upon the ungodly.
Kasrkusrak lal oana sie paka, sie eng na upa ma ac tuhyak ac putati fin sifen mwet koluk,
20 And the Lord's wrath shall return no more, until he have accomplished it, and until he have established it, according to the purpose of his heart: at the end of the days they shall understand it.
na ac fah tiana tui nwe ke El orala ma nukewa ma El nunku in oru. In len fahsru, mwet lal fah kalem na pwaye ke ma inge.”
21 I sent not the prophets, yet they ran: neither spoke I to them, yet they prophesied.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga tiana supu mwet palu inge, a elos som. Nga tiana sang nu selos kutena kas in sulkakinyuk, a elos kaskas na ke Inek.
22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and if they had listened to my words, then would they have turned my people from their evil practices.
Elos funu wi tu inmasrlon mwet pwapa luk inkusrao, elos lukun sulkakin kas in fahkak luk nu sin mwet luk, ac elos lukun furokolosla liki moul koluk elos moulkin ac ouiya kutasrik elos oru.
23 I am a God near at hand, says the Lord, and not a God afar off.
“Nga pa God se su oasr yen nukewa, ac tia muta yen sefanna.
24 Shall any one hide himself in secret places, and I not see him? Do I not fill heaven and earth? says the Lord.
Wangin sie mwet ku in wikla ke sie acn ma nga tia ku in liyal. Ya kowos tia etu lah nga oasr yen nukewa, inkusrao ac fin faclu?
25 I have heard what the prophets say, what they prophesy in my name, saying falsely, I have seen a night vision.
Nga etu lah mea mwet palu ingo fahk ke elos kikiap Inek, ac fahkak mu nga sang nu selos kas in fahkak luk in mweme lalos.
26 How long shall [these things] be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies, when they prophesy the purposes of their own heart?
Mwet palu ingo ac aklalfonye mwet luk uh ke kas kikiap lalos nwe ngac?
27 who devise that [men] may forget my law by their dreams, which they have told every one to his neighbour, as their fathers forgot my name in [the worship of] Baal.
Elos nunku mu mweme elos fahkak uh ac oru mwet luk in mulkinyula, oana ke mwet matu lalos tuh mulkinyula ac forang nu sel Baal.
28 The prophet who has a dream, let him tell his dream; and [he] in whom is my word [spoken] to him, let him tell my word truly: what is the chaff to the corn? so are my words, says the Lord.
Sie mwet palu fin mwemei sie mweme, el enenu in fahk, ‘Mweme se pa inge.’ Tuh mwet palu se su lohng kas ma nga sang nu sel, lela elan fahkak akoaruye. Mah pao uh arulana sie liki wheat uh!
29 Behold, are not my words as fire? says the Lord; and as an axe cutting the rock?
Kas in fahkak luk uh oana sie e, ac oana sie hammer ma fukulya eot uh nu ke ip srisrik.
30 Behold, I am therefore against the prophets, says the Lord God, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.
Nga lain mwet palu ma eis kas lun sie sin sie ac sulkakin oana in kas luk.
31 Behold, I am against the prophets that put forth prophecies of mere words, and slumber their sleep.
Nga lain pac mwet palu ma kaskas ke kas lalos sifacna ac fahk mu ma tuku sik me.
32 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets that prophesy false dreams, and have not told them [truly], and have caused my people to err by their lies, and by their errors; yet I sent them not, and commanded them not; therefore, they shall not profit this people at all.
Porongo ma nga, LEUM GOD, fahk uh! Nga lain mwet palu su srumun mweme kikiap lalos. Elos fahk mweme inge ac aktafongyela mwet luk ke kikiap lalos ac kas in konkin lalos. Nga tia supwalos ku sap elos in som, ac wangin na pwaye sripalos nu sin mwet uh. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
33 And if this people, or the priest, or the prophet, should ask, What is the burden of the Lord? then you shall say to them, You are the burden, and I will dash you down, says the Lord.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Jeremiah, sie sin mwet luk, ku sie mwet palu ku sie mwet tol, fin siyuk sum, ‘Mea pweng sin LEUM GOD?’ na kom fah fahk nu sel, ‘Kom pa sie mwe toasr nu sin LEUM GOD, ac El ac fah siskomla.’
34 [As for] the prophet, and the priests, and the people, who shall say, The burden of the Lord, I will even take vengeance on that man, and on his house.
Sie mwet luk, ku sie mwet palu ku sie mwet tol, fin orekmakin kas se inge, ‘mwe toasr nu sin LEUM GOD,’ nga fah kael ac sou lal.
35 Thus shall you say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What has the Lord answered? and, what has the Lord said?
A lela kais sie mwet in siyuk sin mwet kawuk lal ac sou lal, ‘Mea top sin LEUM GOD? Mea LEUM GOD El fahk?’
36 And do you name no more the burden of the Lord; for his own word shall be a man's burden.
Ouinge elos fah tia sifilpa orekmakin kas inge: ‘mwe toasr nu sin LEUM GOD,’ mweyen kutena mwet fin fahk ouinge, nga ac oru kas in fahkak luk in sie ma arulana toasr nu sel. Mwet uh akkihyela kas lun God lalos, su God moul ac LEUM GOD Kulana.
37 But therefore, [say you], has the Lord our God spoken?
Jeremiah, siyuk sin mwet palu, ‘Mea top sin LEUM GOD nu sum? Mea LEUM GOD El fahk?’
38 Therefore thus says the Lord our God; Because you have spoken this word, The burden of the Lord, and I sent to you, saying, you shall not say, The burden of the Lord;
Ac elos fin seakos kas luk ac orekmakin na kas inge, ‘mwe toasr nu sin LEUM GOD,’ na fahkang nu selos lah
39 therefore, behold, I [will] seize, and dash down you and the city which I gave to you and your fathers.
nga ac sraklalosyak ac siselosla nu saya in loes likiyu — kewana, elos ac siti se ma nga tuh sang nu selos ac mwet matu lalos.
40 And I will bring upon you an everlasting reproach, and everlasting disgrace, which shall not be forgotten.
Nga fah use mwekin ac oakas nu faclos ma pahtpat, su ac fah tiana mulkinyukla.”
