Jeremiah 18
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there will I let thee hear my words.
“Oatula nu ke lohm sin mwet orek ahlu ke fohk kle, ac ingo nga fah sot nu sum kas ma nga lungse kom in fahkak.”
3 Then went I down to the potter's house, and, behold, he was doing work on the wheels.
Ouinge nga som nu we, ac nga liyauk mwet orek ahlu sac ke el orekma ke wheel in orekma lal.
4 And the vessel that he was making became spoiled as [happeneth] with the clay in the hand of the potter; and he made again thereof another vessel, as it seemed good in the eyes of the potter to make it.
El fin orala sie ahlu tuh tia sun lungse lal, el ac eis kle sac ac ekulla nu ke sie pacna lumah.
5 Then came the word of the Lord to me, saying,
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
6 Shall I not be able to do unto you as this potter, O house of Israel? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in my hand, O house of Israel.
“Ya tia oasr ku luk in oru nu suwos, mwet Israel, oana ke mwet orek ahlu se ac oru ke kle lal uh? Kowos muta inpouk oana ke kle uh oan inpoun mwet orek ahlu.
7 At one instant I speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy it;
Nga fin fahk ke kutu pacl mu nga ac fusak, koteya, ku kunausla kutena mutunfacl ku tokosrai,
8 But should that nation, against whom I have spoken, return from their wrong-doing: then will I bethink me of the evil that I had thought to do unto them.
a toko mutunfacl sac forla liki orekma koluk lal, na nga ac tila oru ma nga tuh fahkla mu nga ac oru.
9 And at one instant I speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
Ku nga fin fahk mu nga ac musaeak ku akkeye sie mutunfacl ku tokosrai,
10 But should it do what is evil in my eyes, so as not to hearken to my voice: then will I bethink me of the good, wherewith I had thought to benefit the same.
na toko mutunfacl sac tia akosyu ac orekma koluk, na nga ac tila oru ma nga fahkla mu nga ac oru.
11 And now do say to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I form against you evil, and devise against you a device: do but return now every one from his evil way, and amend your ways and your deeds.
Ke ma inge, fahkang nu sin mwet Judah ac mwet Jerusalem lah nga akoo in lainulos ac kalyaelos. Fahkang elos in tui liki moul koluk lalos, ac aolla ouiya ma elos oru ingan.
12 And they said, It is useless: for after our own thoughts will we walk, and we will every one do after the stubbornness of his evil heart.
Elos ac topuk kom ac fahk, “Mo, efu ku kut in tui? Kut ac likkekena ac oru na ma koluk ke lungse lasr.”
13 Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Only ask among the nations, Who hath heard the like things? a very horrible act hath the virgin of Israel committed.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Siyuk sin mutunfacl nukewa lah nu oasr pacl ma Kain ouiya inge nu sikyak meet. Ouiya na koluk se pa mwet Israel uh oru inge!
14 Doth the snow of Lebanon ever quit the rock of the field? or do the far-coming, cold, flowing waters ever fail?
Ya nu oasr pacl wanginla snow fin acn eoteot fulat Lebanon? Ya sungan infacl oyohu we uh nu oasr pacl mihnla?
15 That my people have forgotten me, that they have burnt incense to false gods, and are made to stumble on their ways, the ancient beaten tracks, to walk in paths, on a road which is not leveled?
Ma inge finne fahsrna wo, a mwet luk uh mulkinyula. Elos esukak mwe keng nu ke ma sruloala. Elos tukulkul ke inkanek lalos. Elos tia sifilpa fahsr ke ouiya meet ah, A elos fahsr ke inkanek ma tia akilenyuki.
16 To make their land desolate, a perpetual derision: every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and shake his head.
Elos orala acn se inge in sie mwe aksangeng, Ma ac srungayukla nwe tok. Elos nukewa su fahsr we ac fah arulana lut ke ma elos liye. Elos ac fah usruk sifalos ke fwefela lalos.
17 Like an east wind will I scatter them before the enemy; with the back, and not the face, will I regard them on the day of their calamity.
Nga ac fah luselik mwet luk ye mutun mwet lokoalok lalos, Oana ke kutkut uh ukukla ke eng kutulap. Nga ac fah ngetla lukelos, Ac tia kasrelos ke pacl in ongoiya nu selos.”
18 And they said, Come, and let us contrive devices against Jeremiah; for the law will not be lost from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not listen to any of his words.
Na mwet uh fahk, “Wona in oasr ma kut oru nu sel Jeremiah! Oasr mwet tol yorosr in luti kut, ac mwet lalmwetmet in aknunakye kut, ac mwet palu in fahkak kas lun God nu sesr. Lela kut in orek loh kikiap lainul ac tia sifil lohng ma el fahk uh.”
19 Listen to me, O Lord, and hearken to the voice of those that contend with me.
Na nga pre ac fahk, “LEUM GOD, lipsre pre luk, ac porongo ma mwet lokoalok luk inge fahk keik.
20 Shall evil be recompensed instead of good, that they have dug a pit for my life? Remember my standing before thee to speak good concerning them, to cause thy wrath to turn away from them.
Ya ma koluk uh pa molin ma wo? A liye, elos pukanak luf se nu sik nga in putatyang nu loac. Esam lah nga tuh tuku nu yurum in kwafe kaclos, ac srike in loangelos liki kasrkusrak lom.
21 Therefore give up their children to the famine, and let their life ebb out by means of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and widows; and let their men be slain by death; their young men smitten by the sword in the battle.
Ke ma inge, LEUM GOD, lela tulik natulos in misa ke masrinsral, ac in anwuki pac ke mweun. Lela mukul uh in misa ke mas ac mwet fusr in anwuki ke mweun. Mutan an in katinmasla, ac wangin tulik natulos.
22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou bringest a troop over them suddenly; for they have dug a pit to catch me, and laid concealed snares for my feet.
Supwala sie un mwet koluk in kunausya lohm selos ac usla koano uh ke wangin eteya selos. Oru elos in wowoyak ke tuninfong. Mwet inge pukanak sie luf nga in putatyang nu loac, ac oakiya mwe kwasrip in sruokyuwi.
23 Yet thou, Lord, knowest well all their counsel against me to [procure my] death: forgive not their iniquity, and let their sin not be blotted out from before thee; but let them be brought to stumbling before thee; in the time of thy anger deal thus with them.
LEUM GOD, kom etu nufon pwapa lalos in uniyuwi. Nikmet nunak munas nu selos ke orekma koluk lalos, ku tulalosla liki ma sufal lalos. Siselosi nu in fohk uh ac kutangulosla. Oru ma inge nu selos in kasrkusrak lom.”
