< Jeremiah 17 >

1 “The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, With the point of a diamond, Engraved on the tablet of their heart, And on the horns of your altars,
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet Judah, ma koluk lowos simla ke pen osra soko. Kihlisyukyak insiowos ke mutun pin diamond soko, ac kihlyak ke sruwasrik in loang lowos.
2 As their sons remember their altars and their Asherim, By the green tree, by the high hills.
Mwet lowos uh alu ke loang uh ac ke lumah ma tulokyak nu sin god mutan Asherah, ye sak folfol nukewa ac fin tohktok uh,
3 O My mountain in the field—your strength, All your treasures—I give for a prey, Your high places for sin in all your borders.
ac yen turangang fineol uh. Nga fah lela mwet lokoalok lowos in usla mwe kasrup ac ma saok lowos ke sripen ma koluk lowos nukewa ma kowos orala in acn suwos.
4 And you have let go—even through yourself, Of your inheritance that I gave to you, And I have caused you to serve your enemies, In a land that you have not known, For you have kindled a fire in My anger, It burns for all time.”
Kowos fah enenu in fuhleak facl se ma nga sot nu suwos, ac nga fah oru tuh kowos in orekma nu sin mwet lokoalok lowos in sie facl ma wangin etu lowos kac, mweyen kasrkusrak luk oana sie e ma ac firir nwe tok.”
5 Thus said YHWH: “Cursed [is] the man who trusts in man, And has made flesh his arm, And whose heart turns from YHWH.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah selngawi mwet se Su forla likiyu Ac filiya lulalfongi lal sin mwet, Ac lulalfongi ku lun mwet sukawil moul la.
6 And he has been as a naked thing in a desert, And does not see when good comes, And has inhabited parched places in a wilderness, A salt land, and not inhabited.
El oana soko mahsrik in acn mwesis Ma kapak in acn pao, yen wangin ma oan we, Fin acn kifintela, yen wangin pac ma ku in kapak we. Wangin ma wo ku in sonol.
7 Blessed [is] the man who trusts in YHWH, And whose confidence has been YHWH.
“Tusruktu nga ac fah akinsewowoye mwet se Su filiya lulalfongi lal in nga.
8 And has been as a tree planted by waters, And he sends forth his roots by a stream, And he does not see when heat comes, And his leaf has been green, And he is not sorrowful in a year of scarcity, Nor does he cease from making fruit.
El oana soko sak ma kap sisken soko infacl srisrik Ac kapla okahl nwe ke sun kof uh. Wangin sangeng lal ke pacl fol Mweyen sroan sak uh folfolna. El tia fosrnga finne wangin af. Pacl nukewa oasr fahko kacl.
9 The heart [is] deceitful above all things, And it [is] incurable—who knows it?
“Su ku in etu ma oan insien mwet? Wangin ma kutasrik oana nunak lun mwet — Sie ma su tia ku in akkeyeyukla.
10 I, YHWH, search the heart, try the reins, Even to give to each according to his way, According to the fruit of his doings.
Nga, LEUM GOD, iluhs nunak lun mwet, Ac srike insialos. Nga oru nu sin kais sie mwet fal nu ke ouiyen moul lal, Ac fal nu ke orekma lal.”
11 A partridge hatching, and not bringing forth, [Is] one making wealth, and not by right, In the midst of his days he forsakes it, And in his latter end—he is a fool.”
Mwet se su eis mani lal ke sesuwos El oana sie won ma sawulla atro ma tia ma natul. Ke mwet sac el sun kuiyal, na mwe kasrup lal ac wanginla, Ac saflaiyal el fah sie mwet lalfon.
12 A throne of glory on high from the beginning, The place of our sanctuary,
Tempul sesr oana sie tron oaskulana, Musaiyukyak fin soko eol fulat ke mutawauk ah me.
13 The hope of Israel [is] YHWH, All forsaking You are ashamed. “And My apostates are written in the earth, For they have forsaken YHWH, A fountain of living waters.”
LEUM GOD, kom mwe finsrak lun Israel. Elos nukewa su siskomla ac fah akmwekinyeyuk. Elos ac fah wanginla oana inen mwet ma simla fin fohk uh, Mweyen elos siskomla, LEUM GOD, Su oana unon in kof se.
14 Heal me, O YHWH, and I am healed, Save me, and I am saved, For You [are] my praise.
LEUM GOD, akkeyeyula ac nga fah kwela na pwaye. Langoeyula ac nga fah moulla. Kom na pa nga kaksakin uh!
15 Behold, they are saying to me: “Where [is] the word of YHWH? Pray, let it come.”
Mwet uh fahk nu sik, “Pia ma LEUM GOD El fahk mu El ac oru nu sesr ah? Lela Elan orala ingena!”
16 And I did not hurry from feeding after You, And I have not desired the desperate day, You have known the produce of my lips, It has been before Your face,
Tusruktu, LEUM GOD, nga tiana kwafe sum in kunauselosla. Nga tiana ke in oasr pacl se koluk nu selos. LEUM GOD, kom etu ma inge. Kom etu ma nga tuh fahk ah.
17 Do not be to me for a terror, You [are] my hope in a day of calamity.
Nimet kom oana sie mwe aksangeng nu sik. Kom pa nien molela luk ke pacl koluk sikyak.
18 Let my pursuers be ashamed, And do not let me be ashamed—me! Let them be frightened, And do not let me be frightened—me! Bring in on them a day of calamity, And destroy them a second time [with] destruction.
LEUM GOD, akmwekinyalos su kalyeiyu, tusruktu nimet akmwekinyeyu. Nwakulosla ke mwe aksangeng, ac nikmet akfosrngayeyu. Akyokye mwe ongoiya nu faclos ac kunauselosla nu ke ip srisrik.
19 Thus said YHWH to me: “Go, and you have stood in the gate of the sons of the people, by which kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all gates of Jerusalem,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Jeremiah, fahla nu ke Mutunpot lun Mwet uh, yen ma tokosra lun Judah elos uti-utyak nu in siti uh, ac sulkakin kas luk inge we. Toko kom fah som nu ke mutunpot nukewa saya lun Jerusalem.
20 and you have said to them: Hear a word of YHWH, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all inhabitants of Jerusalem, who are coming in by these gates,”
Fahk nu sin tokosra ac mwet Judah nukewa, ac elos nukewa su muta Jerusalem ac orekmakin mutunpot inge, in porongo ma nga fahk uh.
21 Thus said YHWH: “Take heed to yourselves, And you do not bear a burden on the day of rest, Nor have you brought [it] in by the gates of Jerusalem.
Fahk nu selos lah elos fin seko moul lalos, elos in tia lippise kutena ma toasr ke len Sabbath. Elos in tia us kutena ma toasr utyak ke mutunpot lun Jerusalem,
22 Nor do you take out a burden from your houses on the day of rest, Indeed, you do not do any work, And you have sanctified the day of rest, As I have commanded your fathers.
ku us kutena ma toasr illa liki lohm selos ke len Sabbath. Elos in tiana orekma ke len Sabbath. Elos in akfulatye oana sie len mutal, oana ke nga tuh sapkin nu sin mwet matu lalos.
23 And they have not listened nor inclined their ear, And they stiffen their neck not to hear, And not to receive instruction.
Mwet matu lalos ah tuh tiana porongeyu ku akosyu. A ma elos oru pa elos likkekeiyu na ac tia lohma nu ke kas in luti luk.
24 And it has been, if you certainly listen to Me,” A declaration of YHWH, “So as not to bring in a burden by the gates of this city on the day of rest, And to sanctify the day of rest, So as not to do any work in it—
“Fahk nu sin mwet inge lah elos enenu na in akos ma sap luk nukewa. Elos in tiana us kutena ma toasr fahsr ke mutunpot in siti se inge ke len Sabbath. Elos enenu in akmutalye len Sabbath ac tia oru kutena orekma.
25 Then kings and princes have entered by the gates of this city, Sitting on the throne of David, Riding in a chariot, and on horses, They, and their princes, the man of Judah, And inhabitants of Jerusalem, And this city has remained for all time.
Na tokosra lalos, ac fisrak lalos, fah ilyak ke mutunpot lun Jerusalem ac eis pacna ku fulat se ma tuh oan facl David. Elos fah wi na mwet Judah ac mwet Jerusalem kasrusr fin chariot ac fin horse, ac siti Jerusalem fah sessesla ke mwet pacl nukewa.
26 And they have come in from cities of Judah, And from outskirts of Jerusalem, And from the land of Benjamin, And from the low country, And from the hill-country, And from the south, Bringing in burnt-offering, and sacrifice, And present, and frankincense, And bringing praise [to] the house of YHWH.
Mwet uh ac fah tuku liki siti srisrik lun Judah ac liki inkul ma raunela Jerusalem. Elos fah tuku liki facl lun Benjamin, liki pe eol uh, fineol uh, ac liki layen eir in Judah. Elos fah us nu in Tempul sik mwe kisa firir, ac kisakin mwe kisa wheat ac mwe keng, oayapa mwe kisa in sang kulo.
27 And if you do not listen to Me to sanctify the day of rest, And so as not to bear a burden, And to come in at the gates of Jerusalem on the day of rest, Then I have kindled a fire in its gates, And it has consumed the high places of Jerusalem, And it is not quenched!”
Tusruktu elos enenu in akosyu ac karinganang len Sabbath tuh in sie len mutal. Elos in tia us kutena ma toasr fahsr ke mutunpot Jerusalem ke len sac, mweyen elos fin oru, nga ac esukak mutunpot Jerusalem. E uh ac fah furreak lohm sin tokosra Jerusalem, ac wangin mwet fah ku in konela.”
