Jeremiah 10
1 Hear ye the word which the Lord hath spoken concerning you, O house of Israel:
Mwet Israel, porongo kas lun LEUM GOD nu suwos
2 Thus hath said the Lord, Do not habituate yourselves on the way of the nations, and at the signs of the heavens be ye not dismayed; although the nations should be dismayed at them.
fahkang: “Nikmet ukwe ouiya lun mutanfahl saya; Nimet fosrnga ke ma sakirik ma ac sikyak inkusrao, Mutanfahl saya finne tuninfong kac.
3 For the statutes of these people concern what is vanity; for it is but a tree which a man hath cut out of a forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
Alu lun mwet inge wangin sripa. Soko sak ac pakpuki insak uh, Na kihlyak ke kufwen sroasr lun mwet tufahl,
4 With silver and with gold do they ornament it; with nails and with hammers do they fasten it, that it move not from its place.
Ac yunla ke silver ac gold. Osra pa sang sruokya In tia topla.
5 As a wrought-out palm-like column are they, and cannot speak; they must needs be borne, because they cannot step along. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do any harm, so also to do any good is not in them.
Kain ma sruloala inge oana luman mwet kikiap se ma kaskiyuki ke ima uh. Elos tia ku in kaskas. Enenu in utuk elos Mweyen elos tia ku in fahsr. Nimet sangeng selos. Elos tia ku in akkolukye kowos, Ac wangin pac ma wo elos ku in oru nu suwos.”
6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O Lord: thou [alone] art great, and great is thy name in might.
LEUM GOD, wangin sie oana kom. Kom kulana, Ac Inem fulat ac yoklana ku la.
7 Who would not fear thee, O King of the nations? for to thee doth it appertain; because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, [they say] there is none like unto thee.
Kom pa tokosra lun mutunfacl nukewa, na su ac tia sunakin kom? Fal in akfulatyeyuk kom. Wangin sie oana kom Inmasrlon mwet lalmwetmet nukewa lun mutunfacl uh, Ku inmasrlon kutena tokosra lalos.
8 But at once shall they be shown to be brutish and foolish: it is a doctrine of vanities, it concerneth but wood.
Mwet nukewa su alu nu ke ma sruloala elos sulalkung ac lalfon. Mea elos ac ku in etala sin sie ma orekla ke sak?
9 The beaten out silver is brought from Tharshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the goldsmith: blue and purple is their clothing; the work of skilful men are they all.
Ma sruloala lalos nukla ke silver Spain me Ac ke gold Uphaz me, Orekla sin mwet usrnguk in sroasr. Elos nuknukyang ke nuknuk folfolnemnem ac sroninmutuk Orekla sin mwet orek nuknuk na usrnguk.
10 But the Lord God is the truth, he is the living God, and the everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall quake, and nations cannot endure his indignation.
Tusruktu kom, LEUM GOD, pa God pwaye Ac kom God moul Ac tokosra ma pahtpat. Ke pacl se kom kasrkusrak, faclu kusrusr; Mutanfahl uh tia ku in muteng mulat lom. (
11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, shall perish away from the earth, and from under these heavens.
Kowos enenu in fahkang nu selos lah god ma tia orala faclu ac kusrao, ac fah kunausyukla. Elos fah wanginla liki acn nukewa fin faclu.)
12 He made the earth by his power, he established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding he stretched out the heavens.
LEUM GOD El orala faclu ke ku lal; El oakiya faclu ke lalmwetmet lal, Ac El asroelik kusrao ke etu lal.
13 At the sound when he giveth a multitude of waters in the heavens, and causeth clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; when he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures:
Ke sap lal, kof lucng liki yen engyeng uh ngirngir; El orama pukunyeng uh liki saflaiyen faclu. El oru sarom in sarmelik in af uh Ac supwama eng uh liki nien filma lal.
14 Then standeth every man as brutish without knowledge; ashamed is every goldsmith because of the graven image; for falsehood is his molten work, and there is no breath therein.
Ke mwet uh liye ma inge, elos akilen lupan lalfon ac nikin lalos sifacna. Elos su oru ma sruloala elos mwekinla, Mweyen god ma elos orala uh tia pwaye ac wangin moul la.
15 They are vanity, the work of deception; in the time of their punishment shall they vanish.
Elos ma lusrongten ma fal in pilesreyuk. Elos ac fah kunausyukla pacl se LEUM GOD El ac tuku in nununkalos.
16 Not like these is the portion of Jacob; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: The Lord of hosts is his name.
God lal Jacob El tia oana ma inge. El pa orala ma nukewa, Ac El sulela mwet Israel elos in mwet lal. Inel pa LEUM GOD Kulana.
17 Gather up thy wares from the ground, O inhabitress of the beleaguered city.
Mwet Jerusalem, apweni! Kuhlusyuki kowos!
18 For thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will cast forth as with a sling the inhabitants of the land at this time, and I will enclose them, in order that they may find them.
LEUM GOD El ac siskowosla liki facl se inge. El ac itungkowosi nwe ke na wangin sie suwos lula. LEUM GOD pa fahk ma inge.
19 Woe is me for my breach! my wound is painful; but I thought, This is but pain, and I shall be able to bear it.
Mwet Jerusalem elos wowoyak ac fahk, “Fuka lupan ongoiya uh! Kinet kacsr uh ac tiana mahla. A kut tuh nunku mu kut ac ku in muteng ma inge!
20 [But now] my tent is laid waste, and all my cords are torn asunder; my children are gone away from me, and they are not [here]; there is no one to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
Lohm nuknuk sesr uh musalsalu; Sucl ma sang sruok uh wotelik. Tulik natusr nukewa fahsr liki kut; Wangin mwet lula in sifil tulokunak lohm nuknuk sesr; Wangin mwet in sripisrya mwe lisrlisr kac uh.”
21 For the shepherds were brutish, and the Lord had they not sought; therefore have they not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered.
Na nga topuk, “Mwet kol lasr elos lalfon; Elos tia siyuk kolyuk sin LEUM GOD. Pa inge sripa pwanang elos tia kapkapak, Ac mwet lasr uh fahsrelik.
22 Behold, the noise of the report is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to render the cities of Judah desolate, a dwelling for monsters.
Porongo! Oasr pweng se tuku! Oasr sie mukuiyak lulap in sie mutunfacl epang; Mwet mweun we ac fah ekulla siti lun Judah nu ke sie acn mwesis, Nu ke acn in muta lun kosro lemnak uh.”
23 I know, O Lord, that the way of man is not in his own power: it is not in man that passeth away to direct his own steps.
LEUM GOD, nga etu lah wangin sie mwet sifacna kol inkanek lal, Wangin mwet sifacna nununku moul lal.
24 Correct me, O Lord, but with justice; not in thy anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
LEUM GOD, aksuwosye mwet lom, Tusruktu nimet kom arulana upa nu sesr, Ku kai kut ke pacl kom kasrkusrak, Mweyen ac tuh pa ingan saflaiyen moul lasr.
25 Pour out thy fury over the nations that know thee not, and over the families that have not called on thy name; for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his dwelling desolate.
Furokla kasrkusrak lom nu fin mutunfacl ma tia etekom, Ac nu fin mwet su tia alu nu sum. Elos onela mwet lom. Elos kunauskutla na pwaye Ac likiya acn sesr in oan musalla.
