Jeremiah 8
1 At that time, saith Jehovah, they shall bring forth the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;
“Ke pacl sac, srin tokosra ac mwet fulat lun Judah, ac oayapa srin mwet tol ac mwet palu, ac srin mwet saya su tuh muta in Jerusalem, ac fah pukpukyak liki kulyuk lalos.
2 and they shall spread them out to the sun and to the moon and to all the host of the heavens, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and which they have sought, and which they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the ground.
Srelos ac fah oanna fin fohk uh oana fohkon kosro — ac fah oaclik ye faht, malem, ac itu uh, ma mwet inge elos tuh lungse ac kulansupu, ac su elos lolngok yoro ac alu nu kac. Ac tia orekeni in sifil pukpuki.
3 And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, in all the places whither I have driven those that remain, saith Jehovah of hosts.
Na mwet in mutunfacl koluk se inge su painmoulla, su muta in acn puspis yen nga akfahsryeloselik nu we, fah kena misa liki na in moul. Nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, pa fahk ma inge.”
4 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah: Do [men] fall, and not rise up? Doth one turn away, and not return?
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik in fahkang nu sin mwet lal, “Ke pacl se mwet se ikori, ya el ac tia sifil tuyak? Mwet se fin tafongla liki inkanek uh, ya el ac tia sifil foloko?
5 Why hath this people of Jerusalem slidden back with a perpetual backsliding? They hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
Na kowos, mwet luk, efu ku kowos forla likiyu ac tiana sifil foloko? Kowos sruasralana nu ke ma sruloala lowos ac srunga foloko nu yuruk.
6 I hearkened and heard: they speak not what is right; there is no man who repenteth him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? Every one turneth to his course, like a horse rushing into the battle.
Nga arulana lipsre, tuh kowos tiana kaskas pwaye. Tia sie suwos inse asor ke orekma koluk lal. Tia sie suwos siyuk, ‘Ya oasr tafongla nga orala?’ Kais sie mwet ukwena lungse lal sifacna, oana soko horse kasrusr akwot nu ke mweun.
7 Even a stork in the heavens knoweth her appointed times, and the turtle-dove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of Jehovah.
Finne won stork uh elos etu na pacl in folok lalos. Won dove, swallow, ac thrush elos etu pacl in mukuila nu ke sie pac acn. A kowos, mwet luk, tia etu ma sap su nga oakiya nu suwos.
8 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of Jehovah is with us? Behold, certainly the lying pen of the scribes hath made it falsehood.
Kowos ku in fahk fuka lah kowos lalmwetmet ac etu ma sap luk? Liye, ma sap uh ikla sin mwet sim kutasrik.
9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: behold, they have rejected Jehovah's word; and what wisdom is in them?
Mwet lalmwetmet lowos elos mwekinla; nunak lalos fohsak ac elos srifusryuki. Elos likinsai kas luk, na pa lalmwetmet fuka lalos inge?
10 Therefore will I give their wives unto others, their fields to those that shall possess [them]; for every one, from the least even unto the greatest, is given to covetousness; from the prophet even unto the priest, every one dealeth falsely.
Ke ma inge nga fah sang ima lalos ac mutan kialos nu sin kutena mwet. Mwet nukewa, mwet fulat ac mwet srisrik, elos srike in orek mani ke inkanek kutasrik. Finne mwet palu ac mwet tol, elos kiapu pac mwet uh.
11 And they have healed the breach of the daughter of my people lightly, saying, Peace, peace! when there is no peace.
Elos oru oana in ma na kuretyuki pa kinet ke mwet luk uh. Elos fahk mu, ‘Ma nukewa wo na,’ sruhk ma uh tiana wo.
12 Are they ashamed that they have committed abomination? Nay, they are not at all ashamed, and they know not how to blush. Therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall stumble, saith Jehovah.
Mwet luk, ya kowos mwekin ke kowos oru ma srungayuk inge? Mo, kowos tiana mwekin kutu srisrik. Kowos tia pacna ngetnget in mwekin. Ke ma inge kowos ac fah misa oana mwet misa tari. Pacl se nga kalyei kowos, pa ingan saflaiyowos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
13 I will utterly take them away, saith Jehovah: there are no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig-tree; and the leaf is faded: and I will give them up to those that shall pass over them.
“Nga kena eisani mwet luk, oana ke sie mwet orani kosrani lal; tusruktu elos oana sak grape ma wangin grape olo, oana sak fig ma wangin fahko; finne sra uh, masla pac. Ke sripa inge, nga fuhlela mwet saya in orekmakin acn inge.”
14 Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fenced cities, and let us be silent there: for Jehovah our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against Jehovah.
Na mwet lun God uh siyuk, “Efu kut ku mutana? Fahsru, kut kasrusr som nu ke siti potyak ku uh ac misa we. LEUM GOD lasr El wotela mu kut in misa. El ase pwasin kut in nim, mweyen kut orekma koluk lainul.
15 Peace is looked for, and there is no good; a time of healing, and behold, terror.
Kut tuh finsrak in oasr misla ac in oasr imwe nu sesr, a kut pulakin sangeng lulap.
16 The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan: the whole land trembleth at the sound of the neighing of his steeds, and they come, and devour the land, and all it contains, the city and those that dwell therein.
Mwet lokoalok lasr uh sun tari siti Dan. Kut lohng pusren tungtung lun horse natulos. Acn nukewa kusrusryak ke horse in mweun natulos apkuranme. Mwet lokoalok lasr tuku in kunausla acn sesr wi ma nukewa loac, siti sesr ac mwet nukewa su muta we.
17 For behold, I send among you serpents, vipers against which there is no charm, and they shall bite you, saith Jehovah.
Leum El fahk, “Kowos taran! Nga ac supwama wet nu inmasrlowos — wet pwasin ma tia ku in akmunayeyukla, ac wet inge ac fah ngalis kowos.”
18 My comfort in my sadness! my heart is faint in me!
Asor luk tia ku in unweyukla; Insiuk maskunak.
19 Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people, from a very far country: Is not Jehovah in Zion? Is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, with foreign vanities?
Porongo! Nga lohng pusren mwet luk Wowoyak sasla fin acn uh, “Ya LEUM GOD El som liki Zion? Ya tokosra lun Zion wanginla we?” Na LEUM GOD, tokosra lalos, El topuk, “Efu kowos ku akkasrkusrakyeyu ke kowos alu nu ke ma sruloala lowos Ac ke kowos pasrla nu ke god sac ma wangin sripa?”
20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
Mwet uh wowoyak ac fahk, “Pacl fol somla, ac pacl in kosrani uh safla, A soenna mouliyukla kut.”
21 — For the breach of the daughter of my people am I crushed; I go mourning; astonishment hath taken hold of me.
Insiuk itungyuki Mweyen mwet luk uh itatu; Nga tung nwe mwemelil, ac arulana oela.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead? is there no physician there? Why then is there no dressing applied for the healing of the daughter of my people?
Ya wangin ono in Gilead? Ya wangin mwet ono we? Na, efu mwet luk uh ku tiana kwela?
