Jeremiah 16
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
2 “You do not take a wife to yourself, Nor do you have sons and daughters in this place.”
“Nikmet payuk ku orek tulik in acn se inge.
3 For thus said YHWH, Of the sons and of the daughters who are born in this place, And of their mothers—those bearing them, And of their fathers—those begetting 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 die painful deaths, They are not lamented, nor are they buried, For they are dung on the face of the ground, And are consumed by sword and by famine, And their carcass has been for food To the bird of the heavens, And to the beast 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 said YHWH: “Do not enter the house of a mourning-feast, Nor go to lament nor bemoan for them, For I have removed My peace from this people,” A declaration of YHWH, “The kindness and the 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 And great and small have died in this land, They are not buried, and none lament for them, Nor does any cut himself, nor become 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 Nor do they deal out to them for mourning, To comfort him concerning the dead, Nor cause them to drink a cup of consolations For his father and for his 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 You do not enter a house of banqueting, 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 said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Behold, I am causing to cease from this place, Before your eyes, and in your days, The voice of joy, and the voice of rejoicing, The voice of bridegroom and voice of 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 has come to pass, When you declare all these words to this people, And they have said to you, Why has YHWH spoken all this great evil against us? Indeed, what [is] our iniquity, and what [is] our sin, That we have sinned against our God YHWH?
“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 you have said to them: Because that your fathers have forsaken Me, A declaration of YHWH, And go after other gods, and serve them, And they bow themselves to them, And have forsaken Me, and 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 You also have done evil above your fathers, And behold, you are each walking after the stubbornness of his evil heart, So as not to listen to Me.
Na kowos oru koluk yohk liki mwet matu lowos. Kowos nukewa likkeke ac orekma koluk, ac tia akosyu.
13 And I have cast you from off this land, On to a land that you have not known, You and your fathers, And you have served other gods there by day and by night, Where I do not give grace to you.
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, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And it is not said anymore, YHWH lives, who brought up the sons 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, YHWH lives, who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of the north, And out of all the lands to where He drove them, And I have brought them back to their land, That I gave to 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 am sending for many fishers,” A declaration of YHWH, “And they have fished them, And after this I send for many hunters, And they have hunted them from off every mountain, And from off every hill, and from 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 My eyes [are] on all their ways, They have not been hidden from My face, Nor has their iniquity been concealed from before My eyes.
Nga liye ma nukewa elos oru, ac wangin ma wikla likiyu. Ma koluk lalos uh kalem ye mutuk.
18 And I have repaid a first—A second time—their iniquity and their sin, Because of their defiling My land, With the carcass of their detestable things, Indeed, their abominations have filled My inheritance.”
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 YHWH, my strength, and my fortress, And my refuge in a day of adversity, Nations come to You from the ends of the earth, And say, “Our fathers only inherited falsehood, Vanity, and none among them is profitable.”
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 Does man make gods for himself, And they—no gods?
Ya oasr mwet ku in sifacna orek god la? Tia ku. El fin orala, ac tiana god pwaye.”
21 “Therefore, behold, I am causing them to know at this time, I cause them to know My hand and My might, And they have known that My Name [is] YHWH!”
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.”
