Jeremiah 23
1 Woe be vnto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheepe of my pasture, saith the Lord.
Fuka upaiyen nununku lun LEUM GOD nu faclos mwet kol su kunausla mwet lal ac luseloselik.
2 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel vnto the pastors that feede my people, Yee haue scattered my flock and thrust them out, and haue not visited them: beholde, I will visite you for the wickednesse of your works, saith the Lord.
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 the remnant of my sheepe out of all countreyes, whither I had driuen them, and will bring them againe to their foldes, and they shall growe and encrease.
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 set vp shepheardes ouer them, which shall feede them: and they shall dread no more nor be afraide, neither shall any of them be lacking, saith 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 dayes come, saith the Lord, that I will raise vnto Dauid a righteous branche, and a King shall reigne, and prosper, and shall execute iudgement, and iustice in 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 dayes Iudah shalbe saued, and Israel shall dwell safely, and this is the Name wherby they shall call him, The Lord our righteousnesse.
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 dayes come, sayth the Lord, that they shall no more say, The Lord liueth, which brought vp the children of Israel out of the lande 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 liueth, which brought vp and led the seede of the house of Israel out of the North countrey and from all countryes where I had scattered them, and they shall dwell in their owne lande.
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 Mine heart breaketh within mee, because of the prophets, all my bones shake: I am like a drunken man (and like a man whome wine hath ouercome) for the presence of the Lord and for his holie wordes.
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 the lande is full of adulterers, and because of othes the lande mourneth, the pleasant places of the wildernesse are dried vp, and their course is euill, and their force is not right.
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 both the prophet and the Priest doe wickedly: and their wickednesse haue I found in mine House, saith the Lord.
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 Wherefore their way shalbe vnto them as slipperie wayes in the darknesse: they shalbe driuen foorth and fall therein: for I will bring a plague vpon them, euen the yeere of their visitation, saith the Lord.
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 I haue seene foolishnesse in the prophets of Samaria, that prophecied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to erre.
Nga liye tari ma koluk lun mwet palu Samaria: Elos kaskas inen Baal, Ac kolla mwet luk ke inkanek tafongla.
14 I haue seene also in the prophets of Ierusalem filthines: they commit adulterie and walke in lies: they strengthen also the hands of the wicked that none can returne from his wickednesse: they are all vnto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorah.
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 saith the Lord of hostes concerning the prophets, Beholde, I will feede them with wormewood, and make them drinke the water of gall: for from the prophets of Ierusalem is wickednesse gone forth into all the lande.
“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 sayth ye Lord of hosts, Heare not the wordes of the prophets that prophecie vnto you, and teach you vanitie: they speake the vision of their owne heart, and not out of 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 still vnto them that despise mee, The Lord hath sayde, Ye shall haue peace: and they say vnto euery one that walketh after the stubbernesse of his owne heart, No euill shall come vpon 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 hath stand in the counsel of the Lord that he hath perceiued and heard his word? Who hath marked his worde and heard it?
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 Beholde, the tempest of the Lord goeth forth in his wrath, and a violent whirlewinde shall fall downe vpon the head of the wicked.
Kasrkusrak lal oana sie paka, sie eng na upa ma ac tuhyak ac putati fin sifen mwet koluk,
20 The anger of the Lord shall not returne vntill he haue executed, and till he haue perfourmed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter dayes ye shall vnderstande it plainely.
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 haue not sent these prophets, sayth the Lord, yet they ranne; I haue not spoken to them, and yet they prophecied.
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 stande in my counsell, and had declared my words to my people, then they should haue turned them from their euill way, and from the wickednesse of their inuentions.
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 Am I a God at hande, saith the Lord, and not a God farre off?
“Nga pa God se su oasr yen nukewa, ac tia muta yen sefanna.
24 Can any hide him selfe in secrete places, that I shall not see him, sayth the Lord? Do not I fill heauen and earth, saieth 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 haue heard what the prophets said, that prophecie lies in my Name, saying, I haue dreamed, I haue dreamed.
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 Howe long? Doe the prophets delite to prophecie lies, euen prophecying the deceit of their owne heart?
Mwet palu ingo ac aklalfonye mwet luk uh ke kas kikiap lalos nwe ngac?
27 Thinke they to cause my people to forget my Name by their dreames, which they tell euery man to his neyghbour, as their forefathers haue forgotten my Name for 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 that hath a dreame, let him tell a dreame, and hee that hath my worde, let him speake my worde faithfully: what is the chaffe to the wheate, sayth 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 Is not my word euen like a fire, sayeth the Lord? and like an hammer, that breaketh the stone?
Kas in fahkak luk uh oana sie e, ac oana sie hammer ma fukulya eot uh nu ke ip srisrik.
30 Therefore beholde, I will come against the prophets, saieth the Lord, that steale my word euerie one from his neighbour.
Nga lain mwet palu ma eis kas lun sie sin sie ac sulkakin oana in kas luk.
31 Beholde, I will come against the prophets, saith the Lord, which haue sweete tongues, and say, He saith.
Nga lain pac mwet palu ma kaskas ke kas lalos sifacna ac fahk mu ma tuku sik me.
32 Beholde, I will come against them that prophecie false dreames, saith the Lord, and doe tell them, and cause my people to erre by their lies, and by their flatteries, and I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they bring no profite vnto this people, saith the Lord.
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 when this people, or the prophet, or a Priest shall aske thee, saying, What is the burden of the Lord? thou shalt then say vnto them, What burden? I will euen forsake you, saith 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 And the prophet, or the Priest, or the people that shall say, The burden of the Lord, I will euen visite euerie such one, and 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 yee say euery one to his neighbour, and euerie one to his brother, What hath the Lord answered? and what hath the Lord spoken?
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 the burden of the Lord shall yee mention no more: for euery mans worde shall bee his burden: for ye haue peruerted the words of the liuing God, the Lord of hostes our God.
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 Thus shalt thou say to the Prophet, What hath the Lord answered thee? and what hath the Lord spoken?
Jeremiah, siyuk sin mwet palu, ‘Mea top sin LEUM GOD nu sum? Mea LEUM GOD El fahk?’
38 And if you say, The burden of the Lord, Then thus saith the Lord, Because yee say this word, The burden of the Lord, and I haue sent vnto you, saying, Ye 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 beholde, I, euen I will vtterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the citie that I gaue you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence,
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 will bring an euerlasting reproche vpon you, and a perpetual shame which shall neuer be forgotten.
Nga fah use mwekin ac oakas nu faclos ma pahtpat, su ac fah tiana mulkinyukla.”
