Jeremiah 2
1 Moreover, the woorde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik
2 Goe, and crie in the eares of Ierusalem, saying, Thus sayeth the Lord, I remember thee, with the kindenes of thy youth and the loue of thy marriage, when thou wentest after me in the wildernes in a lande that was not sowen.
in sulkakin mwe fahkak se inge nu sin mwet nukewa in Jerusalem. “Nga esam lupan pwaye ac oaru lom nu sik ke kom srakna mutan fusr, Fuka lupan lungse lom nu sik ke kut tufahna payukyak. Kom tuh fahsrna tukuk in acn mwesis, Sie acn ma soenna oasr ma yok we.
3 Israel was as a thing halowed vnto the Lord, and his first fruits: all they that eat it, shall offend: euil shall come vpon them, saith the Lord.
Israel, kom tuh sriyukla in ma na luk; Kom sie ma mutal nu sik mukena. Nga fah supu mwe keok ac mwe ongoiya Nu faclos nukewa su akkeokye kom. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
4 Heare ye the word of the Lord, O house of Iaakob, and all the families of the house of Israel.
Porongo mwe fahkak lun LEUM GOD, kowos fwilin tulik natul Jacob ac sruf lun Israel.
5 Thus sayeth the Lord, What iniquitie haue your fathers founde in mee, that they are gone farre from mee, and haue walked after vanitie, and are become vaine?
LEUM GOD El fahk: “Ma koluk fuka papa matu tomowos ah konauk in nga? Efu ku elos forla likiyu? Elos alu nu ke ma sruloala ma wangin sripa, Oru elos ekla pac mwet wangin sripa.
6 For they saide not, Where is the Lord that brought vs vp out of the lande of Egypt? that led vs through the wildernesse, through a desert, and waste land, through a drie land, and by the shadow of death, by a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?
Elos tiana nunku keik, Nga ne molelosla liki acn Egypt Ac kololosme sasla yen mwesis; Sie acn turangang ac pukanten luf we, Sie acn pao ac facl in misa, Yen wangin mwet muta we Ac wangin pac mwet fufahsryesr we.
7 And I brought you into a plentifull countrey, to eat the fruit thereof, and the commodities of the same: but when yee entred, yee defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.
Nga usalosme nu in sie facl kasrup ac wo fohk we, Elos in insewowo ke kosrani we ac ke ma wo pac saya. A elos tuh akkolukyela facl sik; Elos akfohkfokyela facl se su nga sang nu selos.
8 The priests said not, Where is the Lord? and they that should minister the Lawe, knewe me not: the pastours also offended against me, and the Prophets prophesied in Baal, and went after things that did not profite.
Mwet tol elos tiana siyuk, ‘LEUM GOD El oasr oya?’ Elos su sasla ke ma sap elos tia eteyu. Mwet kol elos tuyak lainyu. Mwet palu kaskas ke inen Baal, Ac alu nu ke ma sruloala lusrongten.
9 Wherefore I wil yet plead with you, saith the Lord, and I will pleade with your childrens children.
“Ouinge nga, LEUM GOD, fah akkalemye ma nga lain kowos kac. Nga fah tia tui in lain fwilin tulik nutuwos.
10 For goe ye to the yles of Chittim, and beholde, and sende vnto Kedar. and take diligent heede, and see whether there be such things.
Som nu layen roto, nu ke tuka Cyprus, Ac supwala sie mwet nu layen kutulap nu in facl Kedar. Kowos fah liye lah wangin kain inge nu sikyak meet.
11 Hath any nation changed their gods, which yet are no gods? but my people haue chaged their glorie, for that which doeth not profite.
Wangin sie mutunfacl nu aolla god la uh, God inge finne tia god pwaye. A mwet luk uh tuh sisyula, God se su akwoyalos, Ac elos forla nu ke god ma tia ku in oru kutena ma nu selos.
12 O yee heauens, be astonied at this: bee afraid and vtterly confounded, sayeth the Lord.
Ke ma inge nga sapkin yen engyeng uh in rarrarak ke mwe aksangeng, In fwefela ac oela,
13 For my people haue committed two euils: they haue forsaken mee the fountaine of liuing waters, to digge them pittes, euen broken pittes, that can holde no water.
Tuh mwet luk elos orala ma koluk luo: Elos forla likiyu, Nga su unon in kof loslos nu selos, Ac elos pukanak lufin kof — Lufin kof su wohn ac tia ku in sruokya kof.
14 Is Israel a seruaunt, or is hee borne in the house? why then is he spoiled?
“Israel el tia sie mwet kohs; Tia osweyukla el nu ke moul in kohs. Na efu ku mwet lokoalok lal suk in sruokilya?
15 The lions roared vpon him and yelled, and they haue made his land waste: his cities are burnt without an inhabitant.
Elos kouyak nu sel oana pusren lion uh. Elos kunausla facl sel, oan mwesasla, Ac siti we musalla ac wanginla mwet muta we.
16 Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes haue broken thine head.
Aok, mwet Memphis ac Tahpanhes Elos fukulya sri in ahlunsifal.
17 Hast not thou procured this vnto thy selfe, because thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, when he led thee by the way?
Israel, kom na pa sifacna oru in upa nu sum! Kom sisyula, LEUM GOD lom, Ke nga tuh pwen kom inkanek uh.
18 And what hast thou now to do in the way of Egypt? to drinke the water of Nilus? or what makest thou in the way of Asshur? to drinke the water of the Riuer?
Ya oasr ma ac wo nu sum kom fin som nu Egypt In nim kof ke Infacl Nile? Ya oasr ma ac wo nu sum kom fin som nu Assyria In nim kof ke Infacl Euphrates?
19 Thine owne wickednes shall correct thee, and thy turnings backe shall reprooue thee: know therefore and beholde, that it is an euil thing, and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, and that my feare is not in thee, sayeth the Lord God of hostes.
Ma koluk lom sifacna ac fah kai kom, Ac forla lom likiyu fah liskomla. Kom ac fah akilen lah sie ma na koluk ac mwen Pa in sisla LEUM GOD lom, Ac tila inse pwaye nu sik. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana ac Kulana, pa fahk ma inge.”
20 For of olde time I haue broken thy yoke, and burst thy bondes, and thou saidest, I will no more transgresse, but like an harlot thou runnest about vpon al hie hilles, and vnder all greene trees.
LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk, “Israel, kom nuna srunga na muta ye ku luk oemeet me. Kom tiana akosyu ku alu nu sik. Fin mangon eol nukewa, Ac ye sak folfol nukewa Kom tuh alu nu ke god eslap uh.
21 Yet I had planted thee, a noble vine, whose plants were all natural: howe then art thou turned vnto me into the plants of a strange vine?
Nga yukwikomi oana soko fain sacnsan Ke fita ma wo oemeet. Na liye ma kom ekla nu kac inge! Kom oana soko fain kolukla ac wanginla sripa.
22 Though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much sope, yet thine iniquitie is marked before me, sayeth the Lord God.
Kom finne oulkomla ke soap na ku Nga ac srakna liye tuhn fohkfok lun ma koluk lom.
23 Howe canst thou say, I am not polluted, neither haue I followed Baalim? beholde thy waies in the valley, and know, what thou hast done: thou art like a swift dromedarie, that runneth by his waies.
Efu ku kom ku in fahk mu kom tiana aktaekye monum, Ac fahk mu kom tiana wi alu nu sel Baal? Esam lupan ma koluk kom oru infahlfal uh; Ngetang liye ma kom orala inge. Kom oana soko camel mutan lemnak Ma yuwot yume sukok camel mukul,
24 And as a wilde asse, vsed to the wildernesse, that snuffeth vp the winde by occasion at her pleasure: who can turne her backe? all they that seeke her, will not wearie themselues, but wil finde her in her moneth.
Sasang nu in yen turangang uh. In pacl el ouinge uh, su ac ku in kutongilya? Camel mukul ma lungse el uh fah tia enenu in sokol, Mweyen el pa ac sokolos.
25 Keepe thou thy feete from barenes, and thy throte from thirst: but thou saidest desperately, No, for I haue loued strangers, and them will I follow.
Israel, nimet aktotoye niom, Ku lela in paola kapinsrulyom Ke ukweyen god ngia. A kom fahk, ‘Mo! Nga tia ku in forla. Nga lungse god saya uh, ac nga fah ukwalos.’”
26 As the theefe is ashamed, when he is foud, so is the house of Israel ashamed, they, their kings, their princes and their Priests, and their Prophets,
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Oana ke sie mwet pisrapasr el ac mwekinla ke ac sruhu el, kowos mwet Israel nukewa ac fah mwekinla pac — tokosra, mwet fulat, mwet tol ac mwet palu lowos.
27 Saying to a tree, Thou art my father, and to a stone, Thou hast begotten me: for they haue turned their back vnto me, and not their face: but in ye time of their troble they wil say, Arise, and help vs.
Kowos nukewa ac fah mwekinla — kowos su fahk mu sak soko pa papa tomowos ac eot se pa nina kiowos. Ma inge ac sikyak mweyen kowos forla likiyu ac tia nget nu sik. Tusruktu ke pacl se kowos ac sun ongoiya, na kowos ac siyuk nga in tuku ac molikowosla.
28 But where are thy gods, that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can helpe thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the nomber of thy cities, are thy gods, O Iudah.
“Pia god ma kowos sifacna taflela nu suwos uh? Pacl kowos ac sun ongoiya, lela elos in molikowosla, elos fin ku! Arulana pusla god lowos, oana pisen siti in acn Judah.
29 Wherefore wil ye pleade with me? ye all haue rebelled against me, sayeth the Lord.
Mea kowos torkaskas kac uh? Efu kowos orekma koluk na lainyu?
30 I haue smitten your children in vaine, they receiued no correction: your owne sworde hath deuoured your Prophets like a destroying lyon.
Nga tuh kai kowos, tusruk wanginna sripa mweyen kowos tia lela nga in luti kowos. Kowos uniya mwet palu lowos, oana soko lion sulallal.
31 O generation, take heede to the worde of the Lord: haue I bene as a wildernesse vnto Israel? or a lande of darkenesse? Wherefore sayeth my people then, We are lordes, we will come no more vnto thee?
Mwet Israel, porongo ma nga fahk uh. Ya nga oana sie acn mwesis nu suwos, oana sie acn lohsr ac sensen? Na efu kowos ku fahk mu kowos ac oru oana lungse lowos, ac kowos ac tiana foloko nu yuruk?
32 Can a maid forget her ornament, or a bride her attire? yet my people haue forgotten me, daies without number.
Ya sie mutan fusr ku in mulkunla mwe naweyuk lal, ku sie mutan akola in marut ku in mulkunla nuknuk in marut lal? Tia ku. Tusruktu nga tia ku in oakla pisen len mwet luk uh mulkinyula.
33 Why doest thou prepare thy way, to seeke amitie? euen therefore will I teach thee, that thy waies are wickednesse.
Kom arulana etu in konauk mukul kom lungse orek pwar se. Finne mutan koluk se, el ku in lutlut sum.
34 Also in thy wings is founde the bloud of the soules of ye poore innocents: I haue not found it in holes, but vpon all these places.
Nuknuk lom tuhnla ke srahn mwet sukasrup su wangin mwata, tia ke srahn mwet pisrapasr. “Tusruktu finne ma inge nukewa orek,
35 Yet thou saiest, Because I am giltles, surely his wrath shall turne from mee: beholde, I will enter with thee into iudgement, because thou saiest, I haue not sinned.
a kom srakna fahk mu, ‘Wangin mwetik! LEUM GOD El tiana kasrkusrak sik.’ Tusruktu nga, LEUM GOD, fah kai kom mweyen kom lafwekin lah kom orekma koluk.
36 Why runnest thou about so much to change thy waies? for thou shalt be confounded of Egypt, as thou art confounded of Asshur.
Efu ku arulana fisrasr sum in ikikil nunak lom? Kom ac toasrla sin Egypt, oana ke kom tuh toasrla sin Assyria.
37 For thou shalt goe foorth from thence, and thine hands vpon thine head, because the Lord hath reiected thy confidence, and thou shalt not prosper thereby.
Kom ac fah forla liki Egypt, ac suwoli ke mwekin. Nga, LEUM GOD, siselosla su kom lulalfongi. Wangin kutena ma wo kom ac eis selos.”
