< Jeremiah 10 >

1 Hear ye the word which Yahweh hath spoken unto you, O house of Israel: —
Mwet Israel, porongo kas lun LEUM GOD nu suwos
2 Thus, saith Yahweh—Unto the way of the nations, become not ye accustomed, Nor at the signs of the heavens, be ye dismayed, —Because the nations are dismayed at them.
fahkang: “Nikmet ukwe ouiya lun mutanfahl saya; Nimet fosrnga ke ma sakirik ma ac sikyak inkusrao, Mutanfahl saya finne tuninfong kac.
3 For as for the prescribed customs of the peoples, vanity, they are, —For a tree out of the forest, one cutteth down, Work for the hands of a skilled workman with the axe:
Alu lun mwet inge wangin sripa. Soko sak ac pakpuki insak uh, Na kihlyak ke kufwen sroasr lun mwet tufahl,
4 With silver and with gold, he decketh it, —With nails and with hammers, they fasten them, that it may not totter.
Ac yunla ke silver ac gold. Osra pa sang sruokya In tia topla.
5 Mere palm-trunks turned, they are and cannot speak, They must needs be, carried, for they cannot take a step, Be not afraid of them, for they cannot do harm, And even to do good, is not in their power.
Kain ma sruloala inge oana luman mwet kikiap se ma kaskiyuki ke ima uh. Elos tia ku in kaskas. Enenu in utuk elos Mweyen elos tia ku in fahsr. Nimet sangeng selos. Elos tia ku in akkolukye kowos, Ac wangin pac ma wo elos ku in oru nu suwos.”
6 None, there is, like unto thee, O Yahweh, —Great, art, thou, And, great, is thy Name, for might.
LEUM GOD, wangin sie oana kom. Kom kulana, Ac Inem fulat ac yoklana ku la.
7 Who would not revere thee, O King of nations? For, thee, doth it beseem; Forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations And throughout all their royal estate, None, there is like unto thee.
Kom pa tokosra lun mutunfacl nukewa, na su ac tia sunakin kom? Fal in akfulatyeyuk kom. Wangin sie oana kom Inmasrlon mwet lalmwetmet nukewa lun mutunfacl uh, Ku inmasrlon kutena tokosra lalos.
8 But at once, do they become brutish and stupid, —An example of utmost vanity, is, a tree!
Mwet nukewa su alu nu ke ma sruloala elos sulalkung ac lalfon. Mea elos ac ku in etala sin sie ma orekla ke sak?
9 Silver spread into plates, from Tarshish is brought, And gold, from Uphaz, Work for the craftsman and for the hands of the smith, —Blue and purple, is their clothing, Work for the skilled, are they all.
Ma sruloala lalos nukla ke silver Spain me Ac ke gold Uphaz me, Orekla sin mwet usrnguk in sroasr. Elos nuknukyang ke nuknuk folfolnemnem ac sroninmutuk Orekla sin mwet orek nuknuk na usrnguk.
10 But, Yahweh, is God in truth, He, is a God that, liveth, And a King of times age-abiding, —At his anger, quaketh the earth, And nations cannot endure his wrath.
Tusruktu kom, LEUM GOD, pa God pwaye Ac kom God moul Ac tokosra ma pahtpat. Ke pacl se kom kasrkusrak, faclu kusrusr; Mutanfahl uh tia ku in muteng mulat lom. (
11 Thus, shall ye say unto them, The gods that made not the heavens, And the earth, Shall perish out of the earth, And from under these heavens!
Kowos enenu in fahkang nu selos lah god ma tia orala faclu ac kusrao, ac fah kunausyukla. Elos fah wanginla liki acn nukewa fin faclu.)
12 He that made the earth by his power, That established the world by his wisdom, —And by his understanding stretched out the heavens,
LEUM GOD El orala faclu ke ku lal; El oakiya faclu ke lalmwetmet lal, Ac El asroelik kusrao ke etu lal.
13 At the voice that he uttered, there was a tumult of waters in the heavens, And he caused vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth, —The lightnings for rain, he made, And brought forth wind out of his treasuries.
Ke sap lal, kof lucng liki yen engyeng uh ngirngir; El orama pukunyeng uh liki saflaiyen faclu. El oru sarom in sarmelik in af uh Ac supwama eng uh liki nien filma lal.
14 Every son of earth hath become too brutish to discern, Every goldsmith, hath been put to shame by a graven image, —For a falsehood, is his molten image, Seeing there is no breath in them.
Ke mwet uh liye ma inge, elos akilen lupan lalfon ac nikin lalos sifacna. Elos su oru ma sruloala elos mwekinla, Mweyen god ma elos orala uh tia pwaye ac wangin moul la.
15 Vanity, they are, the handiwork of mockeries, —In the time of their visitation, shall they perish.
Elos ma lusrongten ma fal in pilesreyuk. Elos ac fah kunausyukla pacl se LEUM GOD El ac tuku in nununkalos.
16 Not like these, is the portion of Jacob, For the fashioner of all things, is, he, And, Israel, is his inherited sceptre, —Yahweh of hosts, is his name.
God lal Jacob El tia oana ma inge. El pa orala ma nukewa, Ac El sulela mwet Israel elos in mwet lal. Inel pa LEUM GOD Kulana.
17 Fold up, from the ground thy travelling carpet, —O inhabitress of the fortress;
Mwet Jerusalem, apweni! Kuhlusyuki kowos!
18 For, thus, saith Yahweh, Behold me! slinging out the inhabitants of the land at this throw, —And I will distress them that they may discover it.
LEUM GOD El ac siskowosla liki facl se inge. El ac itungkowosi nwe ke na wangin sie suwos lula. LEUM GOD pa fahk ma inge.
19 Woe to me! for my grievous injury, Severe, is my wound, —But, I, said, Verily, this, is an affliction and I must bear it:
Mwet Jerusalem elos wowoyak ac fahk, “Fuka lupan ongoiya uh! Kinet kacsr uh ac tiana mahla. A kut tuh nunku mu kut ac ku in muteng ma inge!
20 My tent, is laid waste, And all my tent-cords, are broken, —My children, are gone forth from me and they, are not. There is none, To stretch out any more my tent, Or to set up my curtains.
Lohm nuknuk sesr uh musalsalu; Sucl ma sang sruok uh wotelik. Tulik natusr nukewa fahsr liki kut; Wangin mwet lula in sifil tulokunak lohm nuknuk sesr; Wangin mwet in sripisrya mwe lisrlisr kac uh.”
21 For the shepherds, have become brutish, And Yahweh, have they not sought, —For this cause, have they not prospered, And, all their flock, is scattered.
Na nga topuk, “Mwet kol lasr elos lalfon; Elos tia siyuk kolyuk sin LEUM GOD. Pa inge sripa pwanang elos tia kapkapak, Ac mwet lasr uh fahsrelik.
22 The noise of a rumour! lo it hath come! Even a great commotion out of the land of the North, —To make the cities of Judah, A desolation, A den of jackals.
Porongo! Oasr pweng se tuku! Oasr sie mukuiyak lulap in sie mutunfacl epang; Mwet mweun we ac fah ekulla siti lun Judah nu ke sie acn mwesis, Nu ke acn in muta lun kosro lemnak uh.”
23 I know O Yahweh, That not to a son of earth, pertaineth his own path, —Not, to the man who walketh, also to direct his own steps.
LEUM GOD, nga etu lah wangin sie mwet sifacna kol inkanek lal, Wangin mwet sifacna nununku moul lal.
24 Chastise me, O Yahweh But yet in measure, —Not in thine anger, lest thou make me few.
LEUM GOD, aksuwosye mwet lom, Tusruktu nimet kom arulana upa nu sesr, Ku kai kut ke pacl kom kasrkusrak, Mweyen ac tuh pa ingan saflaiyen moul lasr.
25 Pour out thy wrath—Upon the nations that know thee not, and Upon the families that, upon thy Name, have not called, —For they have devoured Jacob Yea they have devoured him and consumed him, And, his habitation, have they made desolate.
Furokla kasrkusrak lom nu fin mutunfacl ma tia etekom, Ac nu fin mwet su tia alu nu sum. Elos onela mwet lom. Elos kunauskutla na pwaye Ac likiya acn sesr in oan musalla.
