< Jeremiah 31 >

1 At the same time, saith the Lord, will I be the God for all the families of Israel, and they shall be unto me for a people.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Pacl se ac tuku ke nga ac fah God lun sruf nukewa lun Israel, ac elos ac fah mwet luk.
2 Thus hath said the Lord, The people of those that are escaped of the sword found grace in the wilderness, —even Israel, when it went to find rest.
In acn mwesis nga tuh akkalemye pakomuta luk nu selos su painmoulla. Ke pacl se mwet Israel elos kena mongla,
3 “From afar is the Lord appeared unto me,” [saying, ] Yea, with an everlasting love have I loved thee; therefore have I guided thee with loving-kindness.
nga sikyang nu selos liki acn loessula. Mwet Israel, nga nuna lungse kowos oemeet me, ouinge nga srakna fahkak lungse kawil luk nu suwos.
4 Yet again will I build thee up, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: yet again shalt thou adorn thy timbrels, and go forth in the dances of those that make merry.
Nga fah sifilpa musaikowosyak, na kowos ac sifilpa srukak tambourine nutuwos, ac onsrosro ke engan.
5 Yet again shalt thou plant vineyards upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall redeem the fruit.
Kowos ac sifilpa yok ima in grape fin inging Samaria, ac elos su yukwiya fah kang fahko kac.
6 For there cometh a day, that the watchers call out upon the mountain of Ephraim, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the Lord our God.
Aok, pacl se ac tuku ke mwet san uh ac wowoyak fin inging Ephraim ac fahk, ‘Fahsru, kut utyak som nu Zion, nu yurin LEUM GOD lasr.’”
7 For thus hath said the Lord, Sing for Jacob with joy, and shout at the head of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, The Lord hath helped thy people, the remnant of Israel.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “On ac insewowo ke mwet Israel, Mutunfacl se su yohk ac pwengpeng inmasrlon mutunfaclu. Alullul ke on in kaksak lowos ac fahk, ‘LEUM GOD El molela mwet lal; El loangelos nukewa su painmoulla.’
8 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and I will gather them from the farthest ends of the earth, among them the blind and the lame, the pregnant woman and she that travaileth with child together: a great assembly shall they return hither.
Nga fah usalosme liki acn epang, Ac eisaloseni liki saflaiyen faclu. Mwet kun ac mwet ul fah welulos tuku — Mutan pitutu ac elos su apkuran in isusla. Elos ac foloko tuh na sie mutunfacl lulap.
9 With weeping shall they come, and with supplications will I bring them in: I will lead them by brooks of water in a straight way, whereon they shall not stumble; for I am become a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first-born.
Mwet luk fah tung ke elos foloko, Elos ac pre ke nga pwanulosme. Nga ac kololos nu ke infacl srisrik Fin soko inkanek fwel, yen elos fah tia tukulkul we. Nga oana sie papa nu sin Israel, Ac Ephraim pa wen se ma matu oemeet nutik.”
10 Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and tell it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattereth Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd his flock.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Kowos mutanfahl uh, lohngyu Ac sulkakin kas luk nwe yen loessula. Nga tuh akfahsryelik mwet luk, tusruktu nga ac sifil eisaloseni Ac liyalosyang oana sie mwet sropo su liyaung un kosro natul.
11 For the Lord hath ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him out of the hand of one stronger than he.
Nga aksukosokyela mwet Israel, Ac molelosla liki sie mutunfacl kulana.
12 And they shall come and sing on the height of Zion, and shall come together as a stream to the goodness of the Lord, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flocks and of the herds, and their soul shall be as a well-watered garden; and they shall not farther experience grief any more.
Elos ac tuku ac on ke engan Fineol Zion, Ac arulana insewowo ke mwe kite luk inge: Wheat, ac wain, ac oil in olive, Oayapa sheep ac cow. Moul lalos ac fah oana sie ima ma aksroksrokyeyuk wo; Ma nukewa elos enenu ac fah itukyang nu selos.
13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and youth and old men together: and I will change their mourning into gladness, and I will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
Na mutan fusr fah tacn ac engan, Ac mukul fusr ac mukul matu ac fah insewowo. Nga fah akwoyalos ac ekulla sasao lalos nu ke insewowo, Ac asor lalos nu ke engan.
14 And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the Lord.
Nga fah akkihpye mwet tol ke mwe mongo na yuyu, Ac akfalye enenu nukewa lun mwet luk. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
15 Thus hath said the Lord, A voice is heard in Ramah, groaning, weeping, and bitter lamentation; Rachel is weeping for her children: she refuseth to be comforted for her children because they are not [here].
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Sie pusra lohngyuk Ramah me, Pusren tung na upa. Rachel el tungi tulik natul. Elos wanginla, Ac el tia lungse in akwoyeyuk el.
16 Thus hath said the Lord, Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thy eyes from tears; for there is a reward for thy work, saith the Lord, and they shall return from the land of the enemy.
Nimet tung. Eela sroninmotom. Kom ac fah eis lacnen orekma nukewa Ma kom oru nu sin tulik nutum an. Elos ac foloko liki facl sin mwet lokoalok lalos.
17 And there is hope for [thee in] thy future, saith the Lord, and thy children shall return to their own borders.
Oasr mwe finsrak lom nu ke pacl fahsru; Tulik nutum ac foloko nu yen selos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
18 I have indeed heard Ephraim bemoaning himself, “Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as an untamed calf; cause me to return, and I will return; for thou art the Lord my God.
“Nga lohng ke mwet Israel elos fahk ke asor lun insialos, ‘LEUM GOD, kut oana kosro lemnak ma soenna akmunayeyuk. Tusruktu kom luti kut in akos. Folokinkutwot. Kut akola in folok nu yurum, LEUM GOD lasr.
19 Surely after my returning, I repent; and after I am made conscious [by punishment], I smite upon my thigh: I am ashamed, yea, I am confounded, because I bear the disgrace of my youth.”
Kut tuh forla liki kom, A tia paht na kut kena folokot nu yurum. Tukun kom kai kut Kut suwoli ke asor lulap. Kut mwekinla ac tonongla Mweyen kut oru ma koluk ke pacl in fusr lasr!’
20 Is not Ephraim a dear son unto me? or a child that I dandle? for whenever I speak of him, I do earnestly remember him again: therefore are my inward parts moved for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the Lord.
“Israel, kom wen saoklana nutik, Tulik se su nga kuloi. Pacl nukewa nga fahk inem uh Nga asor yohk keim. Nga arulana nunkekom; Ac pakomutom na pwaye.
21 Set thyself up waymarks, place thyself pillars; direct thy heart toward the highway, the way which thou didst go: return, O virgin of Israel, return to these thy cities.
Tulokunak kutu akul in akilenya inkanek. Sifilpa konauk innek ma kowos tuh ut we som. Foloko, mwet Israel, Fahsru nu yen suwos, nu ke siti srisrik ma kowos tuh som liki.
22 How long wilt thou roam about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the Lord hath created a new thing on the earth, The woman will go about [seeking for] the husband.
Kowos su sululalfongi, kowos ac nikinkowosla nwe ngac? Nga orala sie lumah sasu, sie liki ma meet ah, Ekla na yohk se, oana ke sie mutan fin loango sie mukul.”
23 Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Yet again shall they say this word in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I will bring back again their captivity, —May the Lord bless thee, O habitation of righteousness, O holy mountain.
LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, El fahk, “Ke nga ac folokunla mwet uh nu in facl selos, elos ac sifilpa fahk in facl Judah ac siti nukewa we mu, ‘Lela LEUM GOD Elan akinsewowoye eol mutal lun Jerusalem, Acn mutal yen El muta we.’
24 And there shall dwell therein Judah, and in all his cities together, husbandmen, and they that move about with the flocks.
Mwet uh ac fah muta Judah ac in siti nukewa we, na ac fah oasr mwet ima, ac mwet shepherd wi un kosro natulos.
25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and every grieving soul have I gratified.
Nga ac fah akkeyalos su totola, ac sang mwe mongo nu selos su munasla.
26 For this did I awake, and looked about, and my sleep was sweet unto me.
Ouinge mwet uh fah fahk, ‘Nga motulla ac ke nga ngutalik monuk arulana kui.’
27 Behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man; and with the seed of cattle.
“Nga, LEUM GOD, fahk mu pacl se ac tuku ke nga fah akpusyelik pisen mwet ac kosro natulos in facl Israel ac Judah.
28 And it shall come to pass, that just as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to overthrow, and to destroy, and to do harm: so will I watch over them, to build up, and to plant, saith the Lord.
Na oana ke nga tuh oaru in fusak, amakinya, topkakunla, kunausla, ac fukulya, in pacl fahsru nga fah oayapa oaru in yokwalosi ac in musaelosyak.
29 In those days shall they not say any more, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge;
Ke pacl sac summa, mwet uh ac tia sifilpa fahk kas se inge: ‘Papa ac nina kangla grape mukol, A tulik uh isla wihselos.’
30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grapes—his teeth shall be set on edge.
A ac fah ouinge: kutena su kang grape mukol, wihsel sifacna fah isla. Ac kais sie mwet fah misa ke sripen koluk lal sifacna.”
31 Behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will make with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah, a new covenant;
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Pacl se ac tuku ke nga fah oakiya sie wuleang sasu yurin mwet Israel ac yurin mwet Judah.
32 Not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day that I took hold of them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they have broken, although I was become their husband, saith the Lord;
Ac fah tia oana wuleang matu su nga tuh orala yurin mwet matu lalos pacl se nga tuh sruokya paolos ac kololosme liki Egypt. Nga finne oana sie mukul tuma nu selos, a elos tuh tiana liyaung wuleang sac.
33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord, I place my law in their inward parts, and upon their heart will I write it; and I will be unto them for a God, and they shall be unto me for a people.
Wuleang sasu se su nga ac oru yurin mwet Israel fah ouinge: Nga fah likiya ma sap luk in elos, ac simusla insialos. Nga fah God lalos, ac elos fah mwet luk.
34 And they shall not teach any more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord; for they all shall know me, from the least of them even unto their greatest, saith the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I not remember any more.
Wangin selos ac fah enenu in luti mwet in facl sel in etu ke LEUM GOD mweyen mwet nukewa fah eteyu, mutawauk yurin mwet su arulana pusisel nwe ke elos su fulatlana. Nga fah nunak munas ke ma koluk lalos, ac nga fah tia sifil esam ma sutuu lalos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
35 Thus hath said the Lord, who bestoweth the sun for a light by day, the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirreth up the sea that its waves roar—The Lord of hosts is his name:
LEUM GOD pa sang tuh faht in kalem ke len, Ac malem ac itu in kalem ke fong. El pa purakak noa in meoa uh in ngirngir. Inel pa LEUM GOD Kulana.
36 If these ordinances ever depart from before me, saith the Lord, then also shall the seed of Israel cease from being a nation before me during all time.
Ke sripen oakwuk inge nukewa ac tia wanginla, Ouinge El wulela mu mutunfacl Israel ac fah tia wanginla.
37 Thus hath said the Lord, If the heavens can be measured above, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath: then also will I reject all the seed of Israel, for all that they have done, saith the Lord.
Oana ke koflana srikasrak uh acn lucng inkusrao, Ac koflana tuniyuk acn loallana ke pwelung lun faclu, Ouinge nga fah tia sisla mwet Israel Elos finne orekma koluk. LEUM GOD pa fahk ma inge.
38 Behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when the city shall be built up to the Lord from the tower of Chananel unto the corner-gate.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Pacl se ac tuku ke acn nukewa in Jerusalem ac fah musaiyukla tuh in siti sik, liki Tower Hananel layen roto, nwe ke Mutunpot Sruwasrik.
39 And the measuring-line shall yet again go forth opposite it over the hill Gareb, and shall take a turn to Go'ath.
Na masrol uh ac fahla liki Mutunpot Sruwasrik suwoslana nu ke eol Gareb, na kuhfla nu Goah.
40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all fields as far as the brook Kidron, unto the corner of the horse-gate toward the east, shall be holy unto the Lord: it shall not be plucked up, nor overthrown any more to eternity.
Infahlfal sac nufon yen mwet misa pukpuk we ac acn in sisi kutkut, wi ima nukewa lucng liki Infacl Kidron fahla nwe ke Mutunpot Horse nu kutulap, ac fah acn mutal nu sik. Mwet lokoalok ac fah tia sifilpa utyak ac sruokya siti se inge ku kunausla.”
