Jeremiah 5
1 RUN ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.
Mwet Jerusalem, yuwot yume ke inkanek nukewa! Liye akwoya yen nukewa! Suk pac ke acn in kuka! Suk lah kom ac ku in konauk sie mwet Su oru ma suwohs ac inse pwaye nu sin God. Kowos fin ku in konauk sie, na LEUM GOD El fah nunak munas nu sin mwet Jerusalem nukewa.
2 And though they say, The Lord liveth; surely they swear falsely.
Kowos finne orala fulahk lowos ke Inen LEUM GOD moul, A ma kowos fahk uh kikiap.
3 O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
Pwayena lah LEUM GOD El suk mwet inse pwaye. El sringil kowos, a kowos tia mayak kac. El itungkowosi, a kowos tia lungse in aksuwosyeyuk kowos. Kowos likkeke ac tiana forla liki ma koluk lowos.
4 Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the Lord, nor the judgment of their God.
Na nga nunku, “Mwet inge mwet sukasrup ac mwet nikin. Ma elos oru uh lalfon; Elos tia etu lah mea God El enenu selos, Ac mea LEUM GOD El lungse elos in oru.
5 I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the Lord, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
Nga ac som nu yurin mwet kol Ac kaskas nu selos. Sahp elos pa etu lah mea God lalos enenu selos, Ac mea LEUM GOD El lungse elos in oru.” Tusruktu mwet kol nukewa tia lungse muta ye ku lun LEUM GOD, Ac srunga pac aksol.
6 Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.
Pa sis lion insak uh fah onelosi; Wolf yen mwesis me fah seseya manolos, Ac leopard uh ac forfor in siti selos ac suk ma nac. Mwet ingo fin tufoki liki lohm selos, ac fah seyuki manolos Mweyen ma koluk lalos uh arulana pus, Ac pusla pacl elos forla liki God.
7 How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.
LEUM GOD El siyuk, “Efu ku nga in nunak munas nu sin mwet luk ke ma koluk lalos? Elos ngetla likiyu Ac alu nu ke god sutuu lun facl saya. Nga kite mwet luk nwe ke elos kihpi, A elos orek kosro Ac sisla pacl lalos yurin mutan su kukakin manolos.
8 They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour’s wife.
Kowos wella in suk in oru lungse koluk lowos nu sin mutan kien mwet tulan lowos, Oana horse mukul ma kitakat wo ke elos sukna horse mutan uh.
9 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Ya tia fal nga in kalyaelos ke ma elos oru inge, Ac oru foloksak luk nu sin mutunfacl se su ouinge?
10 Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the Lord’s.
Nga fah supwala mwet lokoalok in fahsr inmasrlon takin grape sunun mwet luk Ac pakpakiya, tusruktu in tia kunausla nufon. Nga fah fahk elos in kotala lah ke grape uh, Mweyen lah ingan tia ma luk.
11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the Lord.
Mwet Israel ac mwet Judah Arulana pilesreyu. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
12 They have belied the Lord, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
Mwet lun LEUM GOD elos lafwekunul ac elos fahk, “Wangin ma El ac oru. Wangin ma upa ac sikyak nu sesr. Ac fah wangin mweun, ku pacl in sracl.
13 And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.
Kas lun mwet palu inge wangin kalmac, oana eng tuhtuh. Tia God pa kaskas nu selos. Ongoiya ma elos palye ingan ac ma na nu selos sifacna!”
14 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk nu sik, “Jeremiah, mweyen mwet inge fahk kain kas inge, nga fah oru kas luk in oana sie e in oalum. Mwet uh ac fah oana etong, ac e uh ac fah esukulosyak.”
15 Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the Lord: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.
Mwet Israel, LEUM GOD El ac use sie mutunfacl yen loesla me in lain kowos. Sie mutunfacl oemeet me su arulana ku, sie mutunfacl su kowos tia etu kas la.
16 Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.
Mwet pisr lalos elos mwet mweun kulana su uniya ke wangin pakomuta.
17 And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.
Elos fah kangla fokin ima lowos, oayapa mwe mongo nowos. Elos fah uniya wen ac acn nutuwos. Elos ac lusluseya un sheep ac un cow nutuwos, ac sukela ima in grape ac sak fig sunowos. Mwet mweun lalos ac fah kunausla siti potyak ku lowos, su yohk lulalfongi lowos kac.
18 Nevertheless in those days, saith the Lord, I will not make a full end with you.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ne ouinge, in len ingo nga fah tia sukela nufon mwet luk uh.
19 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the Lord our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.
Ke elos ac siyuk sripen nga oru ma inge nukewa, na Jeremiah, fahk nu selos lah ke sripen elos forla likiyu ac orekma nu sin god saya uh in facl selos sifacna, ouinge elos fah kulansupu mwet saya in sie facl ma tia ma selos.”
20 Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Fahkang nu sin fwilin tulik natul Jacob, ac fahkeng nu sin mwet Judah:
21 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:
Porongeyu, kowos mwet lalfon ac mwet sulalkung, su oasr muta tuh tiana liye; su oasr srac tuh tiana lohng.
22 Fear ye not me? saith the Lord: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?
Nga LEUM GOD. Efu kowos ku tia sangeng sik? Efu kowos ku tia rarrar ye mutuk? Nga oakiya puk uh mu pa inge masrol lun meoa uh, sie masrol oakwuk nwe tok ma meoa uh tia ku in alukela. Noa uh finne ngirngir ac toki weacn uh, a tia ku in som alukela.
23 But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.
A kowos mwet uh, kowos likkeke ac lungse alein. Kowos kuhfla nu saya ac som likiyu.
24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the Lord our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.
Wanginna nunak in sunakinyu, nga finne supu af in taknelik ac af in kosrani, ac sot nu suwos pacl in kosrani ke kais sie yac.
25 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.
A ma koluk lowos kosrala ma wo inge liki kowos.
26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
“Oasr mwet koluk muta inmasrlon mwet luk uh. Elos wikla soano oana mwet ma likiya mwe sruhf in sruokya won, tusruktu elos filiya sruhf lalos in sruok mwet.
27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.
Oana ke sie mwet sruh won el nwakla kalkal lal uh ke won, ouinge elos nwakla lohm selos ke ma elos eisla lun mwet uh. Pa oru elos kulana ac kasrup;
28 They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
pa oru elos fact ac kihp. Wangin saflaiyen orekma koluk lalos. Elos tia sang suwohs nu sin tulik mukaimtal ku oru nununku suwohs nu sin mwet enenu.
29 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Tusruktu nga, LEUM GOD, fah kaelos ke ma elos oru inge. Nga fah orek foloksak nu sin mutunfacl se inge.
30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;
Sie ma koluklana ac mwe lut sikyak tari fin facl se inge:
31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?
mwet palu tia fahk ma pwaye a kikiap mukena; ac mwet tol uh kol mwet uh oana ma mwet palu sapkin, ac mwet luk uh tiana lain. Na mea elos ac oru pacl se ke ma nukewa sun saflaiya uh?”
