Jeremiah 1
1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
Book se inge fahkak ke kas lal Jeremiah wen natul Hilkiah, sie sin mwet tol lun siti srisrik Anathoth ke facl lun Benjamin.
2 to whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sel Jeremiah in yac se aksingoul tolu ma Josiah wen natul Amon el tuh tokosra lun Judah,
3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
ac El sifilpa kaskas nu sel Jeremiah ke Jehoiakin wen natul Josiah el tuh tokosra. Tukun pacl sac, LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sel ke pacl na pus, nwe ke yac aksingoul sie ma Zedekiah, wen natul Josiah, el tokosra. Ke malem se aklimekosr in yac sac mwet Jerusalem elos utukla nu in sruoh.
4 Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
5 "Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you. Before you came forth out of the womb, I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations."
“Meet liki nga lumwekomla nga sulekomla, ac meet liki kom isusla nga srikomla in sie mwet palu nu sin mutunfacl uh.”
6 Then I said, "Ah, Lord GOD. Look, I do not know how to speak; for I am a child."
Na nga topuk, “LEUM GOD Fulatlana, nga nikin lah mea nga ac fahk. Nga arulana fusrla.”
7 But the LORD said to me, "Do not say, 'I am a child;' for to whoever I shall send you, you shall go, and whatever I shall command you, you shall speak.
Tusruktu LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Nikmet fahk mu kom fusrla, a fahla nu yurin mwet ma nga supwekom nu se uh, ac fahk nu selos ma nukewa nga sapkin kom in fahk.
8 Do not be afraid because of them; for I am with you to deliver you," says the LORD.
Nimet sangeng selos, tuh nga ac fah wi kom ac karingin kom. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge!”
9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth; and the LORD said to me, "Look, I have put my words in your mouth.
Na LEUM GOD El asroema paol, pusralla ngoasrok, ac fahk nu sik, “Porongo, nga ac sot nu sum kas kom in fahk.
10 Look, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant."
Misenge nga sot ku nu sum fin mutunfacl ac tokosrai nukewa, in fusak ac in ikorinya, in kunausla ac sisla, in musai ac in yukwiya.”
11 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, "Jeremiah, what do you see?" I said, "I see a branch of an almond tree."
LEUM GOD El siyuk sik, “Jeremiah, mea kom liye?” Nga topuk, “Nga liye lesak almond se.”
12 Then the LORD said to me, "You have seen well; for I watch over my word to perform it."
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Pwaye sum, ac nga tawi in liye lah kas luk akpwayeiyuk.”
13 The word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying, "What do you see?" I said, "I see a boiling caldron; and it is tipping away from the north."
Na LEUM GOD El sifil kaskas nu sik, ac siyuk, “Mea pac kom liye?” Nga topuk, “Nga liye pac tup in kof se poel epang, ac apkuran in topme nu layenu.”
14 Then the LORD said to me, "Out of the north evil will break out on all the inhabitants of the land.
El fahk nu sik, “Mwe ongoiya ac fah kahkma epangme nu faclos nukewa su muta in facl se inge,
15 For, look, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north," says the LORD; "and they shall come, and they shall each set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls all around, and against all the cities of Judah.
mweyen nga pangon mutunfacl nukewa in acn epang in tuku. Tokosra lalos fah oakiya tron lalos ke mutunpot lun Jerusalem ac rauneak pot we, ac oayapa rauneak siti saya lun Judah.
16 I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, and worshiped the works of their own hands.
Nga fah kalyei mwet luk mweyen elos orekma koluk. Elos fahsr likiyu, sang mwe kisa lalos nu sin god ngia, ac orek ma sruloala ac alu nu selos.
17 "You therefore put your belt on your waist, arise, and speak to them all that I command you. Do not be dismayed at them, lest I dismay you before them.
Jeremiah, akola kom in som ac fahk nu selos ma nukewa nga sapkin kom in fahk. Nikmet sangeng selos inge. Kom fin sangeng nga fah akyokye sangeng lom ke kom ac tu ye mutalos.
18 For, look, I have made you this day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and bronze walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land.
Misenge nga oru tuh kom in oana sie siti potiyukyak kulana, soko sru osra, sie kalkal bronze, ma in lain facl se inge nufon — lain tokosra nukewa lun Judah, wi fisrak we, mwet tol we, ac mwet in facl sac.
19 They will fight against you; but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you," says the LORD, "to deliver you."
Elos fah mweun lain kom; tusruktu elos ac fah tia ku in kutangkomla, tuh nga ac fah wi kom ac karingin kom. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
