Jeremiah 14
1 The Word of the Lord that came to Jeremias concerning the words of the drought.
LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ke sie pacl in tuka.
2 Judea hath mourned, and the gates thereof are fallen, and are become obscure on the ground, and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
“Judah el muta in asor; Wanginla ma orek ke mutunpot lun siti we. Mwet lal uh ona in fohk uh in asor, Ac Jerusalem el wowoyak in suk kasru.
3 The great ones sent their inferiors to the water: they came to draw, they found no water, they carried back their vessels empty: they were confounded and afflicted, and covered their heads.
Mwet leum uh supwala mwet kulansap lalos in ut kof; Elos som nu ke nien kof Tusruktu wangin kof we. Elos foloko ac wangin koanon mwe neinyuk kof lalos. Ke sripen elos fohsak ac mwekinla, Elos okanla mutalos.
4 For the destruction of the land, because there came no rain upon the earth, the husbandmen were confounded, they covered their heads.
Mwet orek ima uh arulana supwarla, Ac afinya mutalos Ke sripen wanginna af, Ac infohk uh paolana.
5 Yea, the hind also brought forth in the field, and left it, because there was no grass.
Soko deer mutan isusla inimae Ac sisla natu natul ac som, Mweyen wanginna mah.
6 And the wild asses stood upon the rocks, they snuffed up the wind like dragons, their eyes failed, because there was no grass.
Donkey lemnak uh tu fin mangon inging uh Ac mongolos tuhyak ke mal, oana kosro jackal. Ohkla mutalos Mweyen wangin mwe mongo nalos.
7 If our iniquities have testified against us, O Lord, do thou it for thy name’s sake, for our rebellions are many, we have sinned against thee.
Mwet luk elos wowoyak nu sik ac fahk, ‘Ma koluk lasr finne fal in liskutla, LEUM GOD, kasre kut oana ke kom wulema. Kut forla liki kom pacl pus; Kut orekma koluk lain kom.
8 O expectation of Israel, the Saviour thereof in time of trouble: why wilt thou be a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man turning in to lodge?
Kom mukena pa mwe finsrak lun mwet Israel, Kom na pa molikutla liki mwe ongoiya. Efu kom ku oana sie mwetsac in facl sesr, Oana sie mwet fufahsryesr su muta yorosr ke fong se na?
9 Why wilt thou be as a wandering man, as a mighty man that cannot save? but thou, O Lord, art among us, and thy name is called upon by us, forsake us not.
Efu kom oana sie mwet ma lut ke ma sikyak uh, Oana sie mwet mweun ma tia ku in kasru? LEUM GOD, kom muta inmasrlosr! Eteyuk kut lah kut mwet lom; Nimet siskutla.’”
10 Thus saith the Lord to his people, that have loved to move their feet, and have not rested, and have not pleased the Lord: He will now remember their iniquities, and visit their sins.
Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk ke mwet inge: “Elos lungse in kaingla likiyu, ac tia sifacna karingin ouiyalos. Ke ma inge, nga tia insewowo selos. Nga fah esam orekma tafongla lalos, ac kalyaelos ke sripen ma koluk lalos.”
11 And the Lord said to me: Pray not for this people for their good.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Nik kom siyuk sik in kasru mwet inge.
12 When they fast I will not hear their prayers: and if they offer holocausts and victims, I will not receive them: for I will consume them by the sword, and by famine, and by the pestilence.
Elos finne lalo, nga fah tia lohng pusren tung lalos. Elos finne oru mwe kisa firir ac mwe kisa wheat nu sik, nga ac fah tia engan kac. A nga fah onelosi ke mweun ac ke sracl ac ke mas.”
13 And I said: Ah, ah, ah, O Lord God, the prophets say to them: You shall not see the sword, and there shall be no famine among you, but he will give you true peace in this place.
Na nga fahk, “LEUM GOD Fulatlana, kom etu lah mwet palu elos fahkang nu sin mwet uh lah ac fah wangin mweun ku sracl, mweyen elos fahk mu kom wulela tari mu ac fah oasr misla mukena in facl sesr uh.”
14 And the Lord said to me: The prophets prophesy falsely in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, nor have I spoken to them: they prophesy unto you a lying vision, and divination and deceit, and the seduction of their own heart.
Na LEUM GOD El topuk, “Mwet palu elos kaskas kikiap Inek. Nga tiana supwalos, ac nga tia sapkin elos in oru kutena ma, ku fahkang kutena ma nu selos. Aruruma elos fahk uh tia ma sik. Kas in palu lalos ma na elos sifacna kinauk ac wanginna sripa.
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that prophecy in my name, whom I did not send, that say: Sword and famine shall not be in this land: By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
Nga, LEUM GOD, fahk nu sum ma nga ac oru nu sin mwet palu ingan su nga tia supu a elos kaskas Inek, ac fahk mu mweun ac sracl fah tia sun facl se inge. Nga fah onelosi ke mweun ac ke sracl.
16 And the people to whom they prophecy, shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword, and there shall be none to bury them: they and their wives, their sons and their daughters, and I will pour out their wickedness upon them.
Ac funu mwet ma elos fahk ma inge nu se, ac fah anwuki pac elos ke mweun ac ke sracl. Manolos ac fah sisilana ke inkanek Jerusalem. Ac fah wangin mwet in puknelosi. Ma inge ac sikyak nu selos nukewa — mukul, mutan, ac tulik. Nga ac fah oru nu selos fal nu ke ma koluk lalos.”
17 And thou shalt speak this word to them: Let my eyes shed down tears night and day, and let them not cease, because the virgin daughter of my people is afflicted with a great affliction, with an exceeding grievous evil.
LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sik in fahkang nu sin mwet uh ke asor luk. Na nga fahk: “Lela sroninmutuk in soror ke len ac fong. Lela nga in tia tui ke tung, Mweyen acn virgin nutik — su mwet luk — arulana kinkineta Ac apkuran in misa.
18 If I go forth into the fields, behold the slain with the sword: and if I enter into the city, behold them that are consumed with famine. The prophet also and the priest are gone into a land which they knew not.
Ke nga illa nu likin siti uh, Nga liye monin mwet anwuki ke mweun. Ke nga som nu in siti srisrik, Nga liye mwet misa ke masrinsral. Mwet palu ac mwet tol uh oru na orekma lalos, Tusruktu elos tia etu ma elos oru.”
19 Hast thou utterly cast away Juda, or hath thy soul abhorred Sion? why then hast thou struck us, so that there is no healing for us? we have looked for peace, and there is no good: and for the time of healing, and behold trouble.
LEUM GOD, ya kom ngetla na pwaye liki Judah? Ya kom srunga mwet Zion? Efu kom ku puok kut Pwanang kut apkuran in misa? Kut suk misla, a wangin ma wo sikyak; Kut finsrak mu kut ac kwela, a mwe aksangeng mukena pa kut liye.
20 We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness, the iniquities of our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
Kut orekma koluk lain kom, LEUM GOD; Kut fahkak ma koluk lasr sifacna Ac ma koluk lun mwet matu lasr.
21 Give us not to be a reproach, for thy name’s sake, and do not disgrace in us the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.
Esam wuleang lom ac nimet ngetla liki kut; Nimet akmwekinye acn Jerusalem, Acn sin tron wolana lom. Karinganang wuleang se kom orala inmasrlosr, ac tia kunausla.
22 Are there any among the graven things of the Gentiles that can send rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou the Lord our God, whom we have looked for? for thou hast made all these things.
Ma sruloala uh tia ku in supwama af; Pukunyeng uh tia ku in sifacna oru in afi. Kom na pa oru ma inge, Pwanang kut filiya finsrak lasr in kom, LEUM GOD lasr.
