Jeremiah 16
1 The word of the LORD came also unto me, saying,
LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
2 Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place.
“Nikmet payuk ku orek tulik in acn se inge.
3 For thus saith the LORD concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land;
Nga ac fahk nu sum ma ac sikyak nu sin tulik su ac isusla in acn se inge, oayapa nu sin papa ac nina.
4 They shall die of grievous deaths; they shall not be lamented; neither shall they be buried; [but] they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth: and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their carcases shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.
Elos ac misa ke mas na upa, ac wangin mwet ac tungelos ku puknelosi. Elos ac fah anwuki ke mweun, ku misa ke masrinsral, ac manolos ac fah mwe mongo nun won ac kosro inima uh. Ma lula uh ac fah osralik fin acn uh oana fohkon kosro.
5 For thus saith the LORD, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the LORD, [even] lovingkindness and mercies.
“Kom fah tia utyak nu in lohm ma oasr eoksra we. Nik kom tungi kutena mwet. Nga ac tia sifil akinsewowoye mwet luk ke misla, ku akkalemye lungse ac pakoten luk nu selos.
6 Both the great and the small shall die in this land: they shall not be buried, neither shall [men] lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them:
Mwet kasrup ac mwet sukasrup fah tukeni misa in acn se inge, tusruktu wangin mwet fah puknelosi ku eoksra kaclos. Wangin mwet fah sipik manol sifacna ku mangsrasrala in akkalemye asor lal.
7 Neither shall [men] tear [themselves] for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall [men] give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
Wangin mwet ac mongo ku nim yurin kutena mwet in akwoyal ke sie mwet saok lal misa. Ac wangin pac mwet fah fahkak pakomuta la, finne nu selos su papa tuma ku nina kia misa.
8 Thou shalt not also go into the house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and to drink.
“Nimet utyak nu in sie lohm ma mwet uh orek kufwa we. Kom in tia pituki yorolos in mongo ac nim.
9 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.
Porongo ma nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, fahk inge. Nga fah kutongya pusren engan ac insewowo, oayapa pusren pwar ke kufwen marut. Mwet in acn se inge fah moul na in liye ke ma inge ac sikyak.
10 And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us? or what [is] our iniquity? or what [is] our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?
“Ke pacl se kom fahkang ma inge nukewa nu selos, elos ac siyuk sum lah efu ku nga sulela in kalyaelos arulana upa. Elos ac siyuk lah ma sufal fuka elos eis mwata kac, ac ma koluk fuka elos orala lain LEUM GOD lalos.
11 Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith the LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;
Na kom fah fahk nu selos lah LEUM GOD El fahk, ‘Mwet matu lowos forla likiyu, ac elos alu ac kulansupu god ngia. Elos sisyula ac tia akos mwe luti luk.
12 And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me:
Na kowos oru koluk yohk liki mwet matu lowos. Kowos nukewa likkeke ac orekma koluk, ac tia akosyu.
13 Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not, [neither] ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night; where I will not shew you favour.
Ke ma inge, nga fah siskowosla liki facl se inge nu in sie facl ma kowos, ac mwet matu lowos, tia etu kac. Na kowos fah kulansupu god saya ke len ac fong, ac nga fah tiana pakomutowos.’”
14 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Pacl se ac tuku ke mwet uh ac tia sifil fulahk keik mu ‘Oana ke God El moul, su tuh molela mwet Israel liki facl Egypt.’
15 But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.
A ma elos ac oru pa elos ac fulahk keik mu, ‘Oana ke God El moul, su tuh molela mwet Israel liki mutunfacl epang ac liki mutunfacl saya nukewa,’ yen nga luselosla nu we. Nga fah folokunulosme nu in facl selos sifacna, nu yen ma nga sang nu sin mwet matu lalos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
16 Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga ac solama mwet patur puspis in tuku sruok mwet inge. Toko nga fah sapwalik mwet sruh kosro in sokolos yen nukewa fineol uh ac inging uh ac in luf inmasrlon eot uh.
17 For mine eyes [are] upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.
Nga liye ma nukewa elos oru, ac wangin ma wikla likiyu. Ma koluk lalos uh kalem ye mutuk.
18 And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things.
Nga fah oru elos in moli pacl luo ke tafongla ac ma koluk lalos, mweyen elos aktaekye facl sik ke ma sruloala ma wangin moul la oana monin mwet misa, ac elos nwakla acn uh ke god kikiap lalos.”
19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and [things] wherein [there is] no profit.
O LEUM GOD, kom pa langoeyu ac akkeyeyu. Kom kasreyu ke pacl koluk. Mutunfaclu ac fah tuku nu yurum liki saflaiyen faclu ac fahk, “Wangin god lun mwet matu lasr sayen god kikiap mukena, ac ma sruloala wangin sripa.
20 Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they [are] no gods?
Ya oasr mwet ku in sifacna orek god la? Tia ku. El fin orala, ac tiana god pwaye.”
21 Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name [is] The LORD.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ke ma inge, nga fah fahkak nu sin mutunfacl uh tuh elos in etu ke ku luk ac ke ku lun pouk. Inge ac nu tok, elos fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.”
