Jeremiah 8
1 "At that time," says YHWH, "they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his officials, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;
“Ke pacl sac, srin tokosra ac mwet fulat lun Judah, ac oayapa srin mwet tol ac mwet palu, ac srin mwet saya su tuh muta in Jerusalem, ac fah pukpukyak liki kulyuk lalos.
2 and they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and which they have sought, and which they have worshiped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried, they shall be for dung on the surface of the earth.
Srelos ac fah oanna fin fohk uh oana fohkon kosro — ac fah oaclik ye faht, malem, ac itu uh, ma mwet inge elos tuh lungse ac kulansupu, ac su elos lolngok yoro ac alu nu kac. Ac tia orekeni in sifil pukpuki.
3 Death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places where I have driven them," says YHWH of hosts.
Na mwet in mutunfacl koluk se inge su painmoulla, su muta in acn puspis yen nga akfahsryeloselik nu we, fah kena misa liki na in moul. Nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, pa fahk ma inge.”
4 "Moreover you shall tell them, 'Thus says YHWH: Shall men fall, and not rise up again? Shall one turn away, and not return?
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik in fahkang nu sin mwet lal, “Ke pacl se mwet se ikori, ya el ac tia sifil tuyak? Mwet se fin tafongla liki inkanek uh, ya el ac tia sifil foloko?
5 Why then do these people of Jerusalem turn away in perpetual backsliding? They hold fast deceit; they refuse to return.
Na kowos, mwet luk, efu ku kowos forla likiyu ac tiana sifil foloko? Kowos sruasralana nu ke ma sruloala lowos ac srunga foloko nu yuruk.
6 I listened and heard, but they did not speak what is right: no man repents him of his wickedness, saying, "What have I done?" Everyone turns to his course, as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle.
Nga arulana lipsre, tuh kowos tiana kaskas pwaye. Tia sie suwos inse asor ke orekma koluk lal. Tia sie suwos siyuk, ‘Ya oasr tafongla nga orala?’ Kais sie mwet ukwena lungse lal sifacna, oana soko horse kasrusr akwot nu ke mweun.
7 Yes, the stork in the sky knows her appointed times; and the turtledove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people do not know YHWH's law.
Finne won stork uh elos etu na pacl in folok lalos. Won dove, swallow, ac thrush elos etu pacl in mukuila nu ke sie pac acn. A kowos, mwet luk, tia etu ma sap su nga oakiya nu suwos.
8 How can you say, "We are wise, and the law of YHWH is with us?" But, look, the lying pen of the scribes has worked falsehood.
Kowos ku in fahk fuka lah kowos lalmwetmet ac etu ma sap luk? Liye, ma sap uh ikla sin mwet sim kutasrik.
9 The wise men are disappointed, they are dismayed and taken: look, they have rejected the word of YHWH; and what kind of wisdom is in them?
Mwet lalmwetmet lowos elos mwekinla; nunak lalos fohsak ac elos srifusryuki. Elos likinsai kas luk, na pa lalmwetmet fuka lalos inge?
10 therefore I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those who shall possess them: for everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness; from the prophet even to the priest every one deals falsely.
Ke ma inge nga fah sang ima lalos ac mutan kialos nu sin kutena mwet. Mwet nukewa, mwet fulat ac mwet srisrik, elos srike in orek mani ke inkanek kutasrik. Finne mwet palu ac mwet tol, elos kiapu pac mwet uh.
11 They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people superficially, saying, "Peace, peace;" when there is no peace.
Elos oru oana in ma na kuretyuki pa kinet ke mwet luk uh. Elos fahk mu, ‘Ma nukewa wo na,’ sruhk ma uh tiana wo.
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No. They were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among those who fall; in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, says YHWH.
Mwet luk, ya kowos mwekin ke kowos oru ma srungayuk inge? Mo, kowos tiana mwekin kutu srisrik. Kowos tia pacna ngetnget in mwekin. Ke ma inge kowos ac fah misa oana mwet misa tari. Pacl se nga kalyei kowos, pa ingan saflaiyowos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
13 I will utterly consume them, says YHWH: no grapes shall be on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.'"
“Nga kena eisani mwet luk, oana ke sie mwet orani kosrani lal; tusruktu elos oana sak grape ma wangin grape olo, oana sak fig ma wangin fahko; finne sra uh, masla pac. Ke sripa inge, nga fuhlela mwet saya in orekmakin acn inge.”
14 "Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there; for YHWH our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against YHWH.
Na mwet lun God uh siyuk, “Efu kut ku mutana? Fahsru, kut kasrusr som nu ke siti potyak ku uh ac misa we. LEUM GOD lasr El wotela mu kut in misa. El ase pwasin kut in nim, mweyen kut orekma koluk lainul.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and look, dismay.
Kut tuh finsrak in oasr misla ac in oasr imwe nu sesr, a kut pulakin sangeng lulap.
16 The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan: at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembles; for they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it; the city and those who dwell in it.
Mwet lokoalok lasr uh sun tari siti Dan. Kut lohng pusren tungtung lun horse natulos. Acn nukewa kusrusryak ke horse in mweun natulos apkuranme. Mwet lokoalok lasr tuku in kunausla acn sesr wi ma nukewa loac, siti sesr ac mwet nukewa su muta we.
17 For, look, I will send serpents, adders, among you, which will not be charmed; and they shall bite you," says YHWH.
Leum El fahk, “Kowos taran! Nga ac supwama wet nu inmasrlowos — wet pwasin ma tia ku in akmunayeyukla, ac wet inge ac fah ngalis kowos.”
18 "My joy for me is sorrow. My heart is faint within me.
Asor luk tia ku in unweyukla; Insiuk maskunak.
19 Look, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: 'Isn't YHWH in Zion? Isn't her King in her?'" "Why have they provoked me to anger with their engraved images, and with foreign vanities?"
Porongo! Nga lohng pusren mwet luk Wowoyak sasla fin acn uh, “Ya LEUM GOD El som liki Zion? Ya tokosra lun Zion wanginla we?” Na LEUM GOD, tokosra lalos, El topuk, “Efu kowos ku akkasrkusrakyeyu ke kowos alu nu ke ma sruloala lowos Ac ke kowos pasrla nu ke god sac ma wangin sripa?”
20 "'The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.'
Mwet uh wowoyak ac fahk, “Pacl fol somla, ac pacl in kosrani uh safla, A soenna mouliyukla kut.”
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt: I mourn; dismay has taken hold on me.
Insiuk itungyuki Mweyen mwet luk uh itatu; Nga tung nwe mwemelil, ac arulana oela.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then isn't the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
Ya wangin ono in Gilead? Ya wangin mwet ono we? Na, efu mwet luk uh ku tiana kwela?
