Jeremiah 20
1 Pashhur, son of Immer, was a priest and the official in charge of the Lord's Temple. When he heard Jeremiah prophesying these things,
Pashhur, wen natul Immer, el sie mwet tol su sifen mwet liyaung inkul in Tempul. Ke el lohng ke nga fahkak ma inge
2 he beat Jeremiah the prophet and had him put in the stocks at the Upper Benjamin Gate, near to the Lord's Temple.
el sap in sringsring nga ac kapiri ke mwe kapir apkuran nu ke Mutunpot Benjamin, ma oan lucng ke Tempul.
3 The following day, when Pashhur had Jeremiah released from the stocks, Jeremiah told him, “The Lord doesn't call you Pashhur (tear in pieces), but Magor-missabib (terror is everywhere).
Lotutang tok ah, tukun Pashhur el tuleyula liki mwe kapir, nga fahk nu sel, “LEUM GOD El fahk mu ac tia sifil pangpang kom Pashhur, a ac fah pangpang kom ‘Sangeng Yen Nukewa.’
4 For this is what the Lord says: I'm going to make you terrified—you and all those you love. Enemies will kill them as you watch. I will hand Judah over to the king of Babylon. He will kill some, and the rest he will take away into exile in Babylon.
LEUM GOD El sifacna fahk mu, ‘Nga ac fah oru kom in sie mwe aksangeng nu sum sifacna ac nu sin mwet kawuk lom, ac kom ac fah liye ke elos nukewa anwuki ke cutlass nutin mwet lokoalok lalos. Nga ac fah filiya mwet Judah nukewa ye ku lun tokosra Babylonia. El ac fah usla kutu selos in mwet kapir nu in facl sel, ac uniya mwet lula.
5 I'm going to give it all away. All the wealth of this city, all the results of hard work, all the valuables, all the crown jewels of Judah's kings—I'm going to hand it over to their enemies, who will take it as plunder and carry it off to Babylon.
Nga fah oayapa lela mwet lokoalok lalos in usla mwe kasrup nukewa in siti se inge, ac sruokya ma lalos nukewa oayapa acn selos, wi pac ma saok lun tokosra Judah, ac usla ma nukewa nu Babylonia.
6 You, Pashhur, and everyone who lives with you, will go into captivity. You will go to Babylon. You will die there and be buried—you and all those you love, those to whom you prophesied lies.”
A funu kom, Pashhur, kom ac sou lom nukewa fah oayapa sruoh ac utukla nu Babylonia. Kom ac fah misa ac pukpuki we, wi mwet kawuk lom nukewa su kom fahk kas kikiap puspis nu se.’”
7 You fooled me, Lord, and I let myself be fooled! You're stronger than me—you've won! I've become a joke people laugh at all day long. Everyone is mocking me.
LEUM GOD, kom kifasla insiuk Na nga tari wikomla. Kom ku likiyu, Ac kom kutangyula. Mwet nukewa aksruksrukyeyu. Elos tia tui in isrunyu.
8 This is because every time I open my mouth I have to shout out warnings of violence and destruction. The Lord's message has become the reason people criticize and ridicule me the whole time.
Pacl nukewa nga kaskas uh, yokla pusrek, Ac nga wowoyak ac fahk, “Yokna sulallal ac kunausten!” LEUM GOD, aksruksrukyeyuk nga ac angonyuk nga pacl nukewa Mweyen nga sulkakin kas lom.
9 If I tell myself, “I won't talk about him anymore, I won't even mention his name,” then his message is like a fire trapped within me, burning me from the inside out. I'm getting tired of holding it in. I just can't win.
A nga fin fahk mu, “Nga ac fah mulkunla LEUM GOD Ac tia sifilpa kaskas ke Inel,” Na kas lom uh oana sie e in nga Ma firir in sri keik uh. Nga srike kuiyuk in sruokyana, Tusruktu nga tia ku in kutongya.
10 I've heard many people gossiping: “He's the one who says, ‘terror is everywhere!’ He has to be reported! Report what he's doing!” All my good friends are waiting for me to slip up. “Maybe he'll make a mistake so we can defeat him and get our revenge on him,” they say.
Nga lohng ke mwet nukewa mahmah mu, “Mwe aksangeng oasr yen nukewa! Lela kut in tukakunulak nu sin mwet fulat lasr!” Finne kawuk fototo luk elos soano nga in ikori. Elos fahk mu, “Sahp kut ac ku in kiapwella, Na kut fah sruokilya ac oru foloksak lasr nu sel.”
11 But the Lord stands beside me like a powerful warrior. So those who are attacking me will fall. They won't win! Because they're not successful they will be totally disgraced. Their shame won't ever be forgotten.
Tusruktu, LEUM GOD, kom wiyu lac, ac kom kulana, Elos su kalyeiyu tia ku in kutangyula. Elos fah akmwekinyeyuk nwe tok, Mweyen elos tia ku in sun finsrak lalos. Mwekin lalos ac fah tiana mulkinyukla.
12 Lord Almighty, you know without question who is living right. You examine people's thoughts and feelings. So let me see your punishment fall on them, because I've trusted you to judge my case.
Tusruktu, LEUM GOD Kulana, kom srike mwet uh ke suwohs; Kom etu nunak lalos ac ma oan insialos. Ke ma inge lela nu sik in liye ke kom ac foloksak nu sin mwet lokoalok luk, Tuh nga likiya sripa nukewa luk inpoum.
13 Sing to the Lord! Praise the Lord! For he saves the poor from the power of the wicked.
On nu sin LEUM GOD! Kaksakin LEUM GOD! El molela mwet su akkeokyeyuk liki ku lun mwet koluk.
14 May the day I was born be cursed! May the day my mother gave birth to me never be blessed!
Selngawiya len se nga isusla! Mulkunla len se nina kiuk el osweyula!
15 May the man be cursed who brought my father the news that made him really happy, saying, “You have a son.”
Selngawiya mwet se su akenganye papa tumuk Ke el us pweng wo se nu sel ac fahk, “Tulik mukul se pa nutum!”
16 May that man be like the towns that the Lord destroyed without mercy. May he hear shouts of alarm in the morning and war-cries at noon,
Lela elan oana siti nukewa Ma LEUM GOD El kunausla ac wangin pakomuta lal. Lela elan lohng tung in mwaiok ke lotutang, Ac sulkakinyen mweun ke infulwen len,
17 because he should have killed me in the womb so that my mother would have been my grave, remaining pregnant forever.
Mweyen el tia uniyuwi meet liki nga isusla, Na insien nina kiuk lukun pa kulyuk luk.
18 Why was I born only to see trouble and sadness, and to end my life in shame?
Efu ku nga isusla? Ya ngan tuh sun mwe lokoalok ac mwe asor, Ac in aksafyela moul luk ke mwekin?
