Jeremiah 9
1 Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a spring of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people.
Nga kena insifuk in oana sie lufin kof, Ac mutuk in oana sie unon in sroninmuta, Tuh nga in ku in tung len ac fong Ke mwet luk su anwuki.
2 Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them. For they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men."
Nga kena in oasr sie acn nga in muta we in acn mwesis Nga in ku in som nu we loes liki mwet luk. Elos nukewa tia pwaye nu sin God, Sie un mwet kutasrik.
3 "They bend their tongue as a bow. Falsehood and not truth has grown strong in the land; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know me," says YHWH.
Elos kurweya lohulos, oana ke mwet uh ulya sukan pisr natulos, in pisrik kas kikiap; Acn uh kolyuk ke kikiap, ac tia ke pwaye. LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet luk uh kalwenina in oru ma koluk Ac tiana akilenyu lah nga God lalos.”
4 "Everyone be on guard against his neighbor, and do not trust any brother; for every brother is a deceiver, and every neighbor will go about with slanders.
Kais sie mwet enenu in sismouk ac taranul liki mwet kawuk lal, Ac wangin sie ku in lulalfongi ma lel; Tuh tamulel nukewa kutasrik oana Jacob, Ac mwet nukewa fahk kas kikiap in akkolukye mwet kawuk lalos.
5 Everyone deceives his neighbor, and does not speak the truth. They have taught their tongue to speak lies; they do evil, they do not cease so as to return.
Elos nukewa kiapu mwet tulan lalos, Ac wangin sie kaskas pwaye; Elos pahla in kaskas kikiap; Elos oru na ma koluk nwe toloala in auli.
6 Oppression upon oppression, and deceit upon deceit. They refuse to know me," says YHWH.
Elos sulallal na sulallal, Ac kutasrik na kutasrik! LEUM GOD El fahk lah mwet lal elos fahsr lukel.
7 Therefore thus says YHWH of hosts, "Look, I will melt them, and try them; for how should I deal with the wickedness of the daughter of my people?
Ke sripa inge LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk, “Inge nga fah aknasnasye mwet luk oana ke mwet uh aknasnasye osra ke e, Ac srikelos. Mwet luk uh orekma koluk — Ku mea nga ku in sifil oru nu selos?
8 Their tongue is a deadly arrow; it speaks deceit: one speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart he lies in wait for him.
Lohulos oana sukan pisr ma uniya mwet. Elos fahk kas kikiap pacl nukewa. Elos nukewa kaskas kulang nu sin mwet tulan lalos, Sruhk elos akoo in srifusrulosi.
9 Shall I not visit them for these things?" says YHWH; "shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?"
Ya nga fah tia kaelos ke ma inge? Ya nga fah tia foloksak nu sin sie mutunfacl su oru ouinge? Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
10 "For the mountains I will take up weeping and wailing, and for the pastures of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are laid waste so that no one passes through; nor can men hear the voice of the cattle. Both the birds of the sky and the animals have fled, they are gone."
Na nga fahk, “Nga fah tungi eol uh Ac arulana asor ke acn musrasra, Mweyen elos pulamlamla, Ac wangin mwet fufahsryesr we. Pusren cow uh tia sifilpa lohngyuk; Won yen engyeng uh ac kosro inimae kaingelik som.”
11 "I will make Jerusalem heaps, a dwelling place of jackals; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant."
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah oru acn Jerusalem in sie yol in ma musalla, Sie acn in muta lun kosro lemnak uh; Siti in acn Judah fah mwesisla, Acn ma wangin mwet muta we.”
12 "Who is the wise man, that may understand this? Who is he to whom the mouth of YHWH has spoken, that he may declare it? Why is the land perished and burned up like a wilderness, so that none passes through?"
Nga siyuk, “LEUM GOD, efu acn inge ku filfilla ac pulamlamla oana yen mwesis uh, pwanang wangin mwet fahsr sasla we? Su lalmwetmet in kalem ke ma se inge? Su kom aketeya nu se tuh elan ku in fahkak nu sin mwet ngia?”
13 YHWH says, "Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked in it,
LEUM GOD El topuk, “Ma inge sikyak mweyen mwet luk elos sisla mwe luti nga sang nu selos. Elos tiana akosyu, ku oru ma nga fahk nu selos.
14 but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart, and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them;
A elos likkekena, ac alu nu ke ma sruloala lal Baal, oana papa tumalos lotelos in oru.
15 therefore thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel, 'Look, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
Ke ma inge, porongo ma nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, fah oru: Nga ac sang nu sin mwet luk sak mwen elos in kang, ac kof pwasin elos in nim.
16 I will scatter them also among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known; and I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.'"
Nga fah akfahsryeloselik inmasrlon mutunfacl ma elos, ku mwet matu lalos, soenna lohng kac, ac nga fah supwala un mwet mweun in lainulos nwe ke nga kunauselosla nukewa.”
17 Thus says YHWH of hosts, "Consider, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for the skillful women, that they may come:"
LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk, “Nunku ke ma sikyak inge! Pangonma mutan mwemelil uh in tuku, Elos in onkakin on in pukmas.”
18 "and let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.
Mwet uh fahk, “Fahk nu selos in sulaklak yuk soko on in pukmas nu sesr, Nwe ke mutasr nwanala ke sroninmuta, Ac kufinmutasr sroksroki ke tung.”
19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, 'How are we ruined. We are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our dwellings.'"
Porongo pusren tung Zion me: “Kut sikiyukla! Kut arulana aklusrongtenyeyukla! Kut enenu in som liki acn sesr. Lohm sesr uh kunausyukla.”
20 "Yet hear the word of YHWH, you women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth; and teach your daughters wailing, and everyone her neighbor lamentation.
Nga fahk, “Kowos mutan, lipsre LEUM GOD, Ac lohang nu ke kas lal. Luti nu sin acn nutuwos elos in etu tung ke mas uh, Ac luti kawuk lowos an in etu yuk on in pukmas.
21 'For death has come up into our windows, it is entered into our palaces; to cut off the children from outside, and the young men from the streets.'
Misa utyak in winto lasr uh Ac ilyak nu in lohm lulap wowo sesr; El onela tulik srisrik inkanek uh, Ac mukul fusr ke nien kuka uh.
22 Speak, 'Thus says YHWH, "The dead bodies of men shall fall as dung on the open field, and as the handful after the harvester; and none shall gather them."'"
Monin mwet misa oaclik yen nukewa, Oana fohkon kosro ke oan inima uh. Oana wheat ma mwet kosrani pakela ac sisla, Wheat ma wangin mwet telani. Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El sapkin ngan fahk.”
23 Thus says YHWH, "Do not let the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, do not let the rich man glory in his riches;
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet lalmwetmet in tia konkin ke lalmwetmet lalos, Ac mwet ku in tia pac konkin ke ku lalos. Ac mwet kasrup in tia konkin ke mwe kasrup lalos.
24 but let him who boasts boast in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am YHWH who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight," says YHWH.
Mwet se fin lungse konkin, Elan konkin lah el eteyu ac el kalem keik. Mweyen lungse luk oan ma pahtpat, Ac nga oru ma suwohs ac pwaye fin faclu. Pa inge ma akinsewowoyeyu. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
25 "Look, the days come," says YHWH, "that I will punish all those who are circumcised in uncircumcision:
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Pwayena lah pacl se ac fah tuku ke nga fah kaelos nukewa su kosrala in mano, tusruktu elos tiana moul fal nu ke wuleang lun kosrala.
26 Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the people of Ammon, and Moab, and all that have the corners of their hair cut off, who dwell in the wilderness; for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart."
Nga fah kai mwet Egypt, mwet Judah, mwet Edom, mwet Amon, mwet Moab, ac elos su muta yen mwesis su koala aunsuf ke likintupalos. Inmasrlon mwet inge, oayapa inmasrlon mwet Israel, wangin sie selos moul fal nu ke wuleang luk.”
