Jeremiah 18
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
2 “Rise, and you have gone down [to] the potter’s house, and there I cause you to 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 and I go down [to] the potter’s house, and behold, he is doing a work on the stones,
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 is making is marred, as clay in the hand of the potter, and he has turned and he makes it another vessel, as it was right in the eyes of the potter to make.
El fin orala sie ahlu tuh tia sun lungse lal, el ac eis kle sac ac ekulla nu ke sie pacna lumah.
5 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
6 “O house of Israel, am I not able to do to you as this potter?” A declaration of YHWH. “Behold, as clay in the hand of the potter, So [are] you 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 The moment I speak concerning a nation, And concerning a kingdom, To pluck up and to break down, and to destroy,
Nga fin fahk ke kutu pacl mu nga ac fusak, koteya, ku kunausla kutena mutunfacl ku tokosrai,
8 And that nation has turned from its evil, Because I have spoken against it, Then I have relented of the calamity that I thought to do to it.
a toko mutunfacl sac forla liki orekma koluk lal, na nga ac tila oru ma nga tuh fahkla mu nga ac oru.
9 And the moment I speak concerning a nation, And concerning a kingdom, to build, and to plant,
Ku nga fin fahk mu nga ac musaeak ku akkeye sie mutunfacl ku tokosrai,
10 And it has done evil in My eyes, So as not to listen to My voice, Then I have relented of the good That I have spoken of doing to it.
na toko mutunfacl sac tia akosyu ac orekma koluk, na nga ac tila oru ma nga fahkla mu nga ac oru.
11 And now, speak now to men of Judah, And against inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus said YHWH: Behold, I am framing calamity against you, And devising a scheme against you; Please turn back, each from his evil way, And amend your ways and your doings.”
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 have said, “It is incurable, For we go after our own plans, And each of us does 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 said YHWH: “Now ask among the nations, Who has heard such things? The virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing.
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 Does snow of Lebanon Cease from the rock of the field? Will the cold strange [waters] that are flowing be forsaken?
Ya nu oasr pacl wanginla snow fin acn eoteot fulat Lebanon? Ya sungan infacl oyohu we uh nu oasr pacl mihnla?
15 But My people have forgotten Me, they make incense to a vain thing, And they cause them to stumble in their ways—paths of old, To walk in paths—a way not raised up,
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 become a desolation, A continuous hissing, Everyone passing by it is astonished, And bemoans with 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 I scatter them before an enemy as with an east wind, I show them the neck and not the face, In 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 say, “Come, And we devise schemes against Jeremiah, For law does not perish from the priest, Nor counsel from the wise, Nor the word from the prophet, Come, and we strike him with the tongue, And we do not attend 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 Give attention, O YHWH, to me, And listen to the voice of those contending with me.
Na nga pre ac fahk, “LEUM GOD, lipsre pre luk, ac porongo ma mwet lokoalok luk inge fahk keik.
20 Is evil repaid instead of good, That they have dug a pit for my soul? Remember my standing before You to speak good of them, To turn back Your wrath 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 sons to famine, And cause them to run on the sides of the sword, And their wives are bereaved and widows, And their men are slain by death, Their young men [are] struck by sword in 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 A cry is heard from their houses, For You suddenly bring a troop against them, For they dug a pit to capture me, And they have hidden 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 And You, O YHWH, You have known, All their counsel against me [is] for death, You do not cover over their iniquity, Nor blot out their sin from before You, And they are made to stumble before You, Work against them in the time of Your anger!
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.”
