Jeremiah 23
1 “Woe to shepherds destroying, And scattering the flock of My pasture,” A declaration of YHWH.
Fuka upaiyen nununku lun LEUM GOD nu faclos mwet kol su kunausla mwet lal ac luseloselik.
2 Therefore, thus said YHWH, God of Israel, Against the shepherds who feed My people: “You have scattered My flock, and drive them away, And have not inspected them, Behold, I am charging on you the evil of your doings,” A declaration of YHWH.
Pa inge ma LEUM GOD lun Israel El fahk ke mwet kol su tuh akoeyukla in karingin mwet lal: “Kowos tuh tia karinganang mwet luk. Kowos ukwalosyak ac luselosla. Inge nga ac kai kowos ke sripen ma koluk ma kowos oru inge.
3 “And I gather the remnant of My flock Out of all the lands to where I drove them, And have brought them back to their fold, And they have been fruitful, and multiplied.
Nga fah usani mwet lula luk liki facl ma nga akfahsryeloselik nu we, ac nga fah folokunulosme nu in facl selos. Ac fah pukanten tulik natulos, ac elos ac fah arulana puseni.
4 And I have raised shepherds for them, And they have fed them, And they no longer fear, nor are frightened, Nor are they lacking,” A declaration of YHWH.
Nga fah srisrngiya mwet kol in karinganulos. Mwet luk ac fah tia sifilpa sangeng ku tuninfongla, ac nga ac tia sifilpa kalyaelos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
5 “Behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I have raised a righteous shoot to David, And a king has reigned and acted wisely, And done judgment and righteousness in the earth.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Pacl se ac fah tuku ke nga fah sulela sie tokosra, sie mwet suwoswos ke fwilin tulik natul David. Tokosra sac ac fah lalmwetmet in kol, ac oru ma pwaye ac suwohs in facl se inge nufon.
6 Judah is saved in His days, and Israel dwells confidently, And this [is] His Name that YHWH proclaims Him: Our Righteousness.
Pacl se el ac tokosrala uh, mwet Judah fah moul in sukosok, ac mwet Israel fah moul in misla. El ac fah pangpang ‘LEUM GOD Suwoswos Lasr.’
7 Therefore, behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And they no longer say, YHWH lives who brought up The sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Pacl se ac fah tuku ke mwet uh fah tia sifilpa fulahk keik mu, ‘Oana ke God El moul su tuh molela mwet Israel liki facl Egypt.’
8 But—YHWH lives, who brought up, And who brought in, the seed of the house of Israel, From the land of the north, And from all the lands to where I drove them, And they have dwelt on their own ground!”
A elos ac fah fulahk keik mu, ‘Oana ke God El moul su tuh molela mwet Israel liki sie mutunfacl epang ac liki mutunfacl saya nukewa El tuh akfahsryeloselik nu we.’ Na elos fah muta in facl selos sifacna.”
9 In reference to the prophets: My heart has been broken in my midst, All my bones have fluttered, I have been as a man—a drunkard, And as a man—wine has passed over him, Because of YHWH, and of His holy words.
Insiuk arulana musalla, Ac nga rarrar. Nga oana mwet sruhi se, Oana sie mwet ma yokla wain numla, Ke sripen LEUM GOD Ac ke sripen kas mutal lal.
10 For the land has been full of adulterers, For the land has mourned because of these, The pleasant places of the wilderness have dried up, And their course is evil, and their might—not right.
Facl se inge sessesla ke mwet tia pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD. Elos moulkin moul sulallal, ac elos orekmakin ku lalos ke inkanek sufal. Acn uh paola Ac sroun ima uh uli, ke sripen selnga lun LEUM GOD.
11 “For both prophet and priest have been profane, Indeed, I found their wickedness in My house,” A declaration of YHWH.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet palu ac mwet tol elos moul oana mwet tia etu God. Nga sifacna liye ke elos oru ma koluk in Tempul.
12 “Therefore their way is as slippery places to them, They are driven into thick darkness, And they have fallen in it, For I bring in calamity against them, The year of their inspection,” A declaration of YHWH.
Inkanek elos fahsr we ac fah musresre ac lohsr. Nga fah oru elos in tukulkul ac ikori. Nga ac fah sang ongoiya nu faclos; Pacl in kalyeiyuk lalos summa. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
13 “And I have seen folly in prophets of Samaria, They have prophesied by Ba‘al, And cause My people—Israel—to err.
Nga liye tari ma koluk lun mwet palu Samaria: Elos kaskas inen Baal, Ac kolla mwet luk ke inkanek tafongla.
14 And I have seen a horrible thing in prophets of Jerusalem, Committing adultery, and walking falsely, Indeed, they strengthened the hands of evildoers, So that they have not turned back, Each from his wickedness, All of them have been as Sodom to me, And its inhabitants as Gomorrah.”
Tusruktu nga liye tuh mwet palu Jerusalem elos oru koluk yohk liki na: Elos kosro ac fahsr ke moul tia pwaye. Elos akkeye mwet uh in oru na ma koluk, Pwanang elos tia forla liki orekma koluk lalos. In liye luk uh, elos nukewa koluk Oapana mwet Sodom ac Gomorrah.
15 Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts, concerning the prophets: “Behold, I am causing them to eat wormwood, And have caused them to drink water of gall, For from prophets of Jerusalem Profanity has gone forth to all the land.”
“Ke ma inge, pa inge ma nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, fahk ke mwet palu lun Jerusalem: Nga fah sang nu selos sak mwen elos in kang Ac pwasin nu selos elos in nim, Mweyen elos oru tuh moul in pilesru God in fahsrelik fin facl se inge nufon.”
16 Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “You do not listen to the words Of the prophets who are prophesying to you, They are making you vain things, They speak a vision of their own heart, Not from the mouth of YHWH.
LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk nu sin mwet Jerusalem, “Nik kowos porongo ma mwet palu elos fahk. Elos nwekkowosla ke finsrak na sutuu. Ma elos fahk nu suwos uh ma na elos sifacna nunku, ac tia ma nga fahk.
17 Diligently saying to those despising, The word of YHWH: Peace is for you, And [to] everyone walking in the stubbornness of his heart, they have said: Evil does not come to you.”
Nu sin mwet ma tia lungse lohng ma nga fahk uh, elos fahk na mu ma nukewa ac wona nu selos. Ac elos fahk nu sin mwet likkeke uh mu mwe ongoiya ac fah tiana sonolos.”
18 For who has stood in the counsel of YHWH, And sees and hears His word? Who has regarded My word, and listens?
Na nga fahk, “Tia sie sin mwet palu inge etu ke nunak lukma lun LEUM GOD. Wangin selos nu lohng ku kalem ke kas in fahkak lal, ku porongo ac lohang nu ke ma El fahk.
19 Behold, a whirlwind of YHWH—Fury has gone out, even a piercing whirlwind, It stays on the head of the wicked.
Kasrkusrak lal oana sie paka, sie eng na upa ma ac tuhyak ac putati fin sifen mwet koluk,
20 The anger of YHWH does not turn back Until His doing, and until His establishing, The thoughts of His heart, In the latter end of the days You attend to it with understanding.
na ac fah tiana tui nwe ke El orala ma nukewa ma El nunku in oru. In len fahsru, mwet lal fah kalem na pwaye ke ma inge.”
21 “I have not sent the prophets, and they have run, I have not spoken to them, and they have prophesied.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga tiana supu mwet palu inge, a elos som. Nga tiana sang nu selos kutena kas in sulkakinyuk, a elos kaskas na ke Inek.
22 But if they stood in My counsel, Then they cause My people to hear My words, And they turn them back from their evil way, And from the evil of their doings.
Elos funu wi tu inmasrlon mwet pwapa luk inkusrao, elos lukun sulkakin kas in fahkak luk nu sin mwet luk, ac elos lukun furokolosla liki moul koluk elos moulkin ac ouiya kutasrik elos oru.
23 [Am] I a God near,” A declaration of YHWH, “And not a God far off?
“Nga pa God se su oasr yen nukewa, ac tia muta yen sefanna.
24 Is anyone hidden in secret places, And I do not see him?” A declaration of YHWH, “Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?” A declaration of YHWH.
Wangin sie mwet ku in wikla ke sie acn ma nga tia ku in liyal. Ya kowos tia etu lah nga oasr yen nukewa, inkusrao ac fin faclu?
25 “I have heard that which the prophets said, Who prophesy falsehood in My Name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
Nga etu lah mea mwet palu ingo fahk ke elos kikiap Inek, ac fahkak mu nga sang nu selos kas in fahkak luk in mweme lalos.
26 Until when is it in the heart of the prophets? The prophets of falsehood, Indeed, prophets of the deceit of their heart,
Mwet palu ingo ac aklalfonye mwet luk uh ke kas kikiap lalos nwe ngac?
27 Who are devising to cause My people To forget My Name by their dreams, That they each recount to his neighbor, As their fathers forgot My Name for Ba‘al.
Elos nunku mu mweme elos fahkak uh ac oru mwet luk in mulkinyula, oana ke mwet matu lalos tuh mulkinyula ac forang nu sel Baal.
28 The prophet with whom [is] a dream, Let him recount the dream, And he with whom [is] My word, Let him truly speak My word. What does the straw [have to do] with the grain?” A declaration of YHWH.
Sie mwet palu fin mwemei sie mweme, el enenu in fahk, ‘Mweme se pa inge.’ Tuh mwet palu se su lohng kas ma nga sang nu sel, lela elan fahkak akoaruye. Mah pao uh arulana sie liki wheat uh!
29 “Is it not thus? My word [is] as fire,” A declaration of YHWH. “And as a hammer—it breaks a rock in pieces.
Kas in fahkak luk uh oana sie e, ac oana sie hammer ma fukulya eot uh nu ke ip srisrik.
30 Therefore, behold, I [am] against the prophets,” A declaration of YHWH, “Each stealing My words from his neighbor.
Nga lain mwet palu ma eis kas lun sie sin sie ac sulkakin oana in kas luk.
31 Behold, I [am] against the prophets,” A declaration of YHWH, “Who are making their tongue smooth, And they affirm—an affirmation.
Nga lain pac mwet palu ma kaskas ke kas lalos sifacna ac fahk mu ma tuku sik me.
32 Behold, I [am] against the prophets of false dreams,” A declaration of YHWH, “And they recount them, and cause My people to err, By their falsehoods, and by their instability, And I have not sent them, Nor have I commanded them, And they are not profitable to this people at all,” A declaration of YHWH.
Porongo ma nga, LEUM GOD, fahk uh! Nga lain mwet palu su srumun mweme kikiap lalos. Elos fahk mweme inge ac aktafongyela mwet luk ke kikiap lalos ac kas in konkin lalos. Nga tia supwalos ku sap elos in som, ac wangin na pwaye sripalos nu sin mwet uh. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
33 “And when this people, or the prophet, Or a priest, asks you, saying, What [is] the burden of YHWH? Then you have said to them: You [are] the burden, and I have left you,” A declaration of YHWH.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Jeremiah, sie sin mwet luk, ku sie mwet palu ku sie mwet tol, fin siyuk sum, ‘Mea pweng sin LEUM GOD?’ na kom fah fahk nu sel, ‘Kom pa sie mwe toasr nu sin LEUM GOD, ac El ac fah siskomla.’
34 “And the prophet, and the priest, and the people, That says, The burden of YHWH, I have seen after that man, and after his house.
Sie mwet luk, ku sie mwet palu ku sie mwet tol, fin orekmakin kas se inge, ‘mwe toasr nu sin LEUM GOD,’ nga fah kael ac sou lal.
35 Thus you each say to his neighbor, And each to his brother: What has YHWH answered? And what has YHWH spoken?
A lela kais sie mwet in siyuk sin mwet kawuk lal ac sou lal, ‘Mea top sin LEUM GOD? Mea LEUM GOD El fahk?’
36 And you do not mention the burden of YHWH anymore, For the burden to each is His word, And you have overturned the words of the living God, YHWH of Hosts, our God.
Ouinge elos fah tia sifilpa orekmakin kas inge: ‘mwe toasr nu sin LEUM GOD,’ mweyen kutena mwet fin fahk ouinge, nga ac oru kas in fahkak luk in sie ma arulana toasr nu sel. Mwet uh akkihyela kas lun God lalos, su God moul ac LEUM GOD Kulana.
37 Thus you say to the prophet, What has YHWH answered you? And what has YHWH spoken?
Jeremiah, siyuk sin mwet palu, ‘Mea top sin LEUM GOD nu sum? Mea LEUM GOD El fahk?’
38 And if you say, The burden of YHWH, Therefore, thus said YHWH: Because of your saying this word, The burden of YHWH, And I send to you, saying, You do not say, The burden of YHWH.
Ac elos fin seakos kas luk ac orekmakin na kas inge, ‘mwe toasr nu sin LEUM GOD,’ na fahkang nu selos lah
39 Therefore, behold, I have utterly taken you away, And I have sent you out, And the city that I gave to you, And to your fathers, from before My face,
nga ac sraklalosyak ac siselosla nu saya in loes likiyu — kewana, elos ac siti se ma nga tuh sang nu selos ac mwet matu lalos.
40 And I have put continuous reproach on you, And continuous shame that is not forgotten!”
Nga fah use mwekin ac oakas nu faclos ma pahtpat, su ac fah tiana mulkinyukla.”
