Jeremiah 23
1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith Yhwh.
Fuka upaiyen nununku lun LEUM GOD nu faclos mwet kol su kunausla mwet lal ac luseloselik.
2 Therefore thus saith Yhwh God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith Yhwh.
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 flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
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 up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith Yhwh.
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 days come, saith Yhwh, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice 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 days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, Jehovah-Tsidkenu, Yhwh Our Righteousness.
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 days come, saith Yhwh, that they shall no more say, Yhwh liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land 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, Yhwh liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
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 within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of Yhwh, and because of the words of his holiness.
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 land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, 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 prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith Yhwh.
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 shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith Yhwh.
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 have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
Nga liye tari ma koluk lun mwet palu Samaria: Elos kaskas inen Baal, Ac kolla mwet luk ke inkanek tafongla.
14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
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 Yhwh of Armies concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.
“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 saith Yhwh of Armies, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of Yhwh.
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 unto them that despise me, Yhwh hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon 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 stood in the counsel of Yhwh, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, 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 Behold, a whirlwind of Yhwh is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon 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 Yhwh shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
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 have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
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 stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
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 hand, saith Yhwh, and not a God afar off?
“Nga pa God se su oasr yen nukewa, ac tia muta yen sefanna.
24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith Yhwh. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith Yhwh.
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 have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have 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 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
Mwet palu ingo ac aklalfonye mwet luk uh ke kas kikiap lalos nwe ngac?
27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have 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 dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith Yhwh.
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 like as a fire? saith Yhwh; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
Kas in fahkak luk uh oana sie e, ac oana sie hammer ma fukulya eot uh nu ke ip srisrik.
30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith Yhwh, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.
Nga lain mwet palu ma eis kas lun sie sin sie ac sulkakin oana in kas luk.
31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith Yhwh, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.
Nga lain pac mwet palu ma kaskas ke kas lalos sifacna ac fahk mu ma tuku sik me.
32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith Yhwh, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith Yhwh.
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 ask thee, saying, What is the burden of Yhwh? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith Yhwh.
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 as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of Yhwh, I will even punish that man 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 ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath Yhwh answered? and, What hath Yhwh 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 Yhwh shall ye mention no more: for every man’s word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of Yhwh of Armies 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 Yhwh answered thee? and, What hath Yhwh spoken?
Jeremiah, siyuk sin mwet palu, ‘Mea top sin LEUM GOD nu sum? Mea LEUM GOD El fahk?’
38 But since ye say, The burden of Yhwh; therefore thus saith Yhwh; Because ye say this word, The burden of Yhwh, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of Yhwh;
Ac elos fin seakos kas luk ac orekmakin na kas inge, ‘mwe toasr nu sin LEUM GOD,’ na fahkang nu selos lah
39 Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave 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 I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
Nga fah use mwekin ac oakas nu faclos ma pahtpat, su ac fah tiana mulkinyukla.”
