Jeremiah 14
1 The word of Yhwh that came to Jeremiah concerning the dearth.
LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ke sie pacl in tuka.
2 Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto 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 And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters: they came to the pits, and found no water; they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, 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 Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, 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 calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass.
Soko deer mutan isusla inimae Ac sisla natu natul ac som, Mweyen wanginna mah.
6 And the wild donkeys did stand in the high places, they snuffed up the wind like dragons; their eyes did fail, 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 O Yhwh, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name’s sake: for our backslidings 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 the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night?
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 shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou, O Yhwh, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave 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 Yhwh unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet, Therefore Yhwh doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, 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 Then said Yhwh unto 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 cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the 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 Then said I, Ah, Lord Yhwh! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured 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 Then Yhwh said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their 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 Yhwh concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they 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 prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour 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 Therefore thou shalt say this word unto them; Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease: for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous blow.
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 field, then behold the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick with famine! yea, both the prophet and the priest go about into a land that they know 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 rejected Judah? hath thy soul lothed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? we 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 Yhwh, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for 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 Do not abhor us, for thy name’s sake, do not disgrace 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 vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O Yhwh our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: 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.
