Jeremiah 16
1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
2 Thou shall not take to thee a wife, —Neither shalt thou have sons or daughters, in this place.
“Nikmet payuk ku orek tulik in acn se inge.
3 For, Thus, saith Yahweh, Concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are being born in this place, —and concerning their mothers who do bear them, and concerning their fathers who do beget them, in this land,
Nga ac fahk nu sum ma ac sikyak nu sin tulik su ac isusla in acn se inge, oayapa nu sin papa ac nina.
4 Of deaths from diseases, shall they die, They shall not be lamented, Neither shall they be buried, As heaps of dung on the face of the ground, shall they serve, —Yea by sword and by famine, shall they be consumed, And, their dead bodies shall become, food—To the bird of the heavens, and To the beast of the earth.
Elos ac misa ke mas na upa, ac wangin mwet ac tungelos ku puknelosi. Elos ac fah anwuki ke mweun, ku misa ke masrinsral, ac manolos ac fah mwe mongo nun won ac kosro inima uh. Ma lula uh ac fah osralik fin acn uh oana fohkon kosro.
5 For, Thus, saith Yahweh—Do not thou enter into the house of crying, Neither do thou go to lament, nor do thou bemoan for them, —For I have withdrawn my blessing from this people, Declareth Yahweh, Both lovingkindness and compassion.
“Kom fah tia utyak nu in lohm ma oasr eoksra we. Nik kom tungi kutena mwet. Nga ac tia sifil akinsewowoye mwet luk ke misla, ku akkalemye lungse ac pakoten luk nu selos.
6 So shall great and small die in this land, They shall not be buried, —Neither shall men lament for them Nor cut themselves, Nor make themselves bald for them;
Mwet kasrup ac mwet sukasrup fah tukeni misa in acn se inge, tusruktu wangin mwet fah puknelosi ku eoksra kaclos. Wangin mwet fah sipik manol sifacna ku mangsrasrala in akkalemye asor lal.
7 Neither shall they break bread to them in mourning To console one over his dead, —Nor cause them to drink the cup of consolation, Over one’s father Or over one’s mother;
Wangin mwet ac mongo ku nim yurin kutena mwet in akwoyal ke sie mwet saok lal misa. Ac wangin pac mwet fah fahkak pakomuta la, finne nu selos su papa tuma ku nina kia misa.
8 And the house of banqueting, shall thou not enter To sit with them, To eat and to drink.
“Nimet utyak nu in sie lohm ma mwet uh orek kufwa we. Kom in tia pituki yorolos in mongo ac nim.
9 For, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Behold me! causing to cease out of this place, Before your eyes, And in your days, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, The voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride,
Porongo ma nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, fahk inge. Nga fah kutongya pusren engan ac insewowo, oayapa pusren pwar ke kufwen marut. Mwet in acn se inge fah moul na in liye ke ma inge ac sikyak.
10 And it shall be when thou shalt declare to this people, all these words, —and they shall say unto thee—For what reason, hath Yahweh pronounced against us all this great calamity? Or what is our iniquity, or what our sin, which we have sinned against Yahweh our God?
“Ke pacl se kom fahkang ma inge nukewa nu selos, elos ac siyuk sum lah efu ku nga sulela in kalyaelos arulana upa. Elos ac siyuk lah ma sufal fuka elos eis mwata kac, ac ma koluk fuka elos orala lain LEUM GOD lalos.
11 Then shalt thou say unto them, —For that your fathers forsook, me, Declareth Yahweh, And walked after other gods, and served them, and bowed down to them, —Whereas me, they forsook And my law, kept they not;
Na kom fah fahk nu selos lah LEUM GOD El fahk, ‘Mwet matu lowos forla likiyu, ac elos alu ac kulansupu god ngia. Elos sisyula ac tia akos mwe luti luk.
12 And, ye, have done more wickedly than your fathers, —for look at you! walking every man after the stubbornness of his wicked heart, so as not to hearken unto me,
Na kowos oru koluk yohk liki mwet matu lowos. Kowos nukewa likkeke ac orekma koluk, ac tia akosyu.
13 Therefore will I hurl you forth, from off this land, unto a land which ye have not known, ye, nor your fathers, —and ye can serve there other gods day and night, in that I will grant you no favour.
Ke ma inge, nga fah siskowosla liki facl se inge nu in sie facl ma kowos, ac mwet matu lowos, tia etu kac. Na kowos fah kulansupu god saya ke len ac fong, ac nga fah tiana pakomutowos.’”
14 Therefore lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, When it shall be said no more By the life of Yahweh, who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt; but—
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Pacl se ac tuku ke mwet uh ac tia sifil fulahk keik mu ‘Oana ke God El moul, su tuh molela mwet Israel liki facl Egypt.’
15 By the life of Yahweh, who hath brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of the North, and out of all the lands whither he had driven them, —So will I bring them back upon their own soil, which I gave to their fathers.
A ma elos ac oru pa elos ac fulahk keik mu, ‘Oana ke God El moul, su tuh molela mwet Israel liki mutunfacl epang ac liki mutunfacl saya nukewa,’ yen nga luselosla nu we. Nga fah folokunulosme nu in facl selos sifacna, nu yen ma nga sang nu sin mwet matu lalos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
16 Behold me! sending for many fishers Declareth Yahweh, And they shall catch them, —and thereafter will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from off every mountain and from off every hill, and out of the clefts of the crags.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga ac solama mwet patur puspis in tuku sruok mwet inge. Toko nga fah sapwalik mwet sruh kosro in sokolos yen nukewa fineol uh ac inging uh ac in luf inmasrlon eot uh.
17 For mine own eyes are upon all their ways, they have not been hid from my face—neither hath their iniquity been concealed from being straight before mine eyes.
Nga liye ma nukewa elos oru, ac wangin ma wikla likiyu. Ma koluk lalos uh kalem ye mutuk.
18 Thus will I recompense, first, twofold, their iniquity and their sin, because of their profaning my land, —with the carcase of their disgusting and detestable things, have they filled mine inheritance.
Nga fah oru elos in moli pacl luo ke tafongla ac ma koluk lalos, mweyen elos aktaekye facl sik ke ma sruloala ma wangin moul la oana monin mwet misa, ac elos nwakla acn uh ke god kikiap lalos.”
19 O Yahweh, my strength, and my refuge, and my place to fly to, in the day of distress, —Unto thee, shall nations come in, out of the ends of the earth, that they may say—Surely! Falsehood, did our fathers inherit, Vanity, among whom is none that can profit:
O LEUM GOD, kom pa langoeyu ac akkeyeyu. Kom kasreyu ke pacl koluk. Mutunfaclu ac fah tuku nu yurum liki saflaiyen faclu ac fahk, “Wangin god lun mwet matu lasr sayen god kikiap mukena, ac ma sruloala wangin sripa.
20 Shall a son of earth, make for himself gods, Seeing that, they, are no-gods?
Ya oasr mwet ku in sifacna orek god la? Tia ku. El fin orala, ac tiana god pwaye.”
21 Therefore behold me! causing them to know, by this stroke, I will cause them to know my hand and my might, —That they may know that my name, is Yahweh!
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ke ma inge, nga fah fahkak nu sin mutunfacl uh tuh elos in etu ke ku luk ac ke ku lun pouk. Inge ac nu tok, elos fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.”
