< Jeremiah 4 >
1 If you will return, O Israel, says the LORD, return unto me: and if you will put away your abominations out of my sight, then shall you not remove.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet Israel, kowos fin lungse forla, kowos forma nu sik. Kowos fin pwaye nu sik ac sisla ma sruloala ma nga srunga ingan,
2 And you shall swear, The LORD lives, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.
na ac tufah fal kowos in fulahk ke Inek. Mutunfacl nukewa fah siyuk sik in akinsewowoyalos, ac elos fah kaksakinyu.”
3 For thus says the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet Judah ac Jerusalem, “Akfisrasryeak fohk ke acn ma soenna imaiyuk. Nimet yukwiya fita sunowos inmasrlon kokul uh.
4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, all of you men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
Kowos mwet Judah ac Jerusalem, kowos in karinganang wuleang su nga, LEUM GOD lowos, orala inmasrlok ac kowos, ac kowos in sifacna kisakinkowosme nu sik. Kowos fin tia oru, na kasrkusrak luk ac tayak oana e, ke sripen ma koluk kowos oru. Ac fah firir ac wangin sie ku in konela.”
5 Declare all of you in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow all of you the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities.
Ukya mwe ukuk in sasla facl sac nufon! Sasa in yohk ac kalem! Fahkang nu sin mwet Judah ac Jerusalem In kaing nu ke siti ma potiyukyak ku.
6 Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
Srisrngi inkanek nu Zion! Kaing, kom in moulla! Nimet pahtlac! LEUM GOD El use ongoiya Ac kunausten lulap liki acn epang.
7 The lion has come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make your land desolate; and your cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.
Sie su kunausla mutunfacl uh mukuiyak tari, Oana soko lion otyak liki acn in wikwik lal. El tuku in kunausla Judah. Siti lun Judah ac oan musalla, Ac wangin mwet ac muta we.
8 For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and wail: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us.
Ke ma inge nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa, ac tung ac mwemelil Mweyen kasrkusrak upa lun LEUM GOD Tiana forla liki Judah.
9 And it shall come to pass at that day, says the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “In len sac, tokosra ac mwet fulat ac fah wanginla pulaik lalos. Mwet tol ac arulana lut, ac mwet palu ac fah oela.”
10 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely you have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, All of you shall have peace; whereas the sword reachs unto the soul.
Na nga fahk, “LEUM GOD Fulatlana, kom arulana kiapwela mwet Jerusalem! Kom fahk mu ac fah oasr misla, a cutlass se pa oanna inkwawalos.”
11 At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,
Pacl se ac tuku ke ac fah fwackyang nu sin mwet Jerusalem lah sie eng na fol ac tuku yen mwesis uh nu yorolos. Ac fah tia sie eng srisrik mwe na okla kulun wheat —
12 Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them.
a ac fah sie eng na upa supweyuku sin LEUM GOD. LEUM GOD sifacna pa akkalemye nununku lal nu sin mwet lal.
13 Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled.
Ngetla liye — mwet lokoalok el tuku oana pukunyeng uh. Chariot in mweun lal oana eng fohru, ac horse natul uh mui liki eagle uh. We nu sesr! Kut ac sikiyukla!
14 O Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long shall your vain thoughts lodge within you?
O Jerusalem, ohlla ma koluk liki insiom tuh kom in ku in moul. Kom ac nunku nunak koluk uh nwe ngac?
15 For a voice declares from Dan, and publishes affliction from mount Ephraim.
Mwet utuk kas tuku Dan me, ac liki fineol in acn Ephraim, in sulkakinelik pweng koluk.
16 Make all of you mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.
Elos tuku in sensenkakin mutunfacl uh, ac in fahk nu sin Jerusalem lah mwet mweun elos tuku liki sie facl loessula. Mwet lokoalok inge fah wowoyak lain siti lun Judah
17 As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she has been rebellious against me, says the LORD.
ac elos fah rauneak Jerusalem oana mwet san elos rauneak ima se, mweyen mwet lal uh orek likkeke lain LEUM GOD. LEUM GOD pa fahk ma inge.
18 Your way and your doings have procured these things unto you; this is your wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reachs unto your heart.
Judah, kom sifacna oru ma inge in tuku nu fom. Ouiyen moul lom ac orekma koluk lom pa pwanang keok se inge in fakiskomi sasla insiom.
19 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart makes a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because you have heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
Nga waiok! Nga tia ku in muteng waiok se inge! Insiuk kihmkimyak ke sangeng! Nga tia ku in misla. Nga lohng mwe ukuk Ac pusren sasa lun mweun.
20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.
Mwe ongoiya uh kalkalwen in sun kut; Facl sac nufon sikiyukla. Lohm nuknuk sesr kunausyukla in kitin pacl na. Mwe lisrlisr uh mihsasa uh.
21 How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
Nga ac liye flag lun mweun nwe ngac, Ac lohng pusren mwe ukuk putaka?
22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are foolish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet luk elos lalfon; Elos tia eteyu. Elos oana tulik lalfon; Wangin etauk lalos. Elos sasla ke oru ma koluk, A tiana etu in oru ma wo.”
23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
Nga ngetla liye faclu — wangin lumah ac wangin koano. Nga ngetak nu yen engyeng uh — wangin kalem we.
24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
Nga ngetang nu ke eol uh, tuh na kusrusrsrusr, Ac tohktok uh wacwat.
25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
Nga liye lah wangin mwet. Finne won yen engyeng uh — sohkla wanginla.
26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.
Acn ma imaiyukla ekla yen mwesis. Siti nukewa kunausyukla Ke sripen kasrkusrak upa lun LEUM GOD. (
27 For thus has the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
LEUM GOD El fahk mu faclu nufon ac fah mwesisla ac wangin ma oan fac, tusruktu El fah tia kunausla nufon.)
28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.
Faclu ac fah mwemelil; Inkusrao fah lohsrla. LEUM GOD El fahk ma inge, Ac El fah tia ekulla nunak lal. El orala tari sulela lal Ac fah tiana ekla liki.
29 The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
Ke kusen kasrusr lun un mwet mweun fin horse ac mwet pisr, Mwet nukewa ac kaingla. Kutu ac kaing nu insak uh, Ac kutu ac fanyak nu inmasrlon eot lulap. Siti nukewa ac pisala, Ac wangin mwet ac sifil muta we.
30 And when you are spoiled, what will you do? Though you cloth yourself with crimson, though you deck you with ornaments of gold, though you rent your face with painting, in vain shall you make yourself fair; your lovers will despise you, they will seek your life.
Jerusalem, kom sikiyukla tari! Mwe mea kom in nukum nuknuk srusra? Mwe mea kom in yunikomla ke mwe naweyuk gold ac sang sroal in akkatoye motom? Kom sifacna oru kom in kato ke wangin! Mwet kawuk lom siskomla Ac kena unikomi!
31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that brings forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewails herself, that spreads her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.
Nga lohng sie sao, oana pusren sie mutan akola in isus, Oana pusren tung lun sie mutan oswe tulik se oemeet natul. Pa inge tung lun Jerusalem, ke el suk mongol Ac asroelik paol ac fahk, “Nga ac misa! Elos tuku in uniyuwi!”
