Jeremiah 3
1 He hath said, If a man send away his wife, and she go from him and become another man’s, will he return unto her, again? would not that land be, utterly defiled? And, thou, hast been unchaste with many neighbours, and yet [thinkest] to return unto me! Declareth Yahweh.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mukul se fin sisla mutan kial, ac mutan sac som ac payuk sin sie pac mukul, mukul se meet ah tia ku in sifil eis mutan sac, mweyen ac tuh arulana akfohkfokyela acn uh. Tusruktu, Israel, pukanten na mwet kom pwar se, ac inge kom lungse foloko nu yuruk!
2 Lift up thine eyes unto the bare heights and see—where thou hast not been unchastely embraced! beside the ways, hast thou sat to them, like the Arabian in the desert, —and hast defiled the land with thine unchastities, and with thy wickedness.
Ngetak nu yen turangang fin inging uh. Ya oasr acn kom tia kukakin monum we? Kom mutana soano mwet kom pwar se pe inkanek, oana sie mwet Arab el mutana yen mwesis soano sie mwet in fahsryak elan ku in oru inkanek in sulallal nu sel. Moul in kosro lom uh akfohkfokyela acn uh.
3 Therefore have been withholden the showers, And, the latter rain, hath not come, —Yet the forehead of an unchaste woman, hast thou, Thou hast refused to be ashamed.
Pa oru af uh tui, ac wangin pac af ke pacl in taknelik. Ngetnget lom an oapana ngetnget lun sie mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lal, ac kom tiana mwekin.
4 Hast thou not from this time, cried unto me, My father! the friend of my youth, art, thou?
“Ac inge kom fahk nu sik, ‘Kom pa papa tumuk, ac kom nuna lungsena nga e ke nga srikyak.
5 Will he maintain his anger to times age-abiding? Will he keep it perpetually? Lo! thou hast spoken thus but hast done wicked things and had thy way!
Kom ac tia kasrkukrak pacl nukewa. Kom ac tia mulat sik nwe tok.’ Israel, kom fahk ouingan, a kom nuna oru na ma koluk pacl nukewa.”
6 And Yahweh said unto me, in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen what apostate Israel, did? She used to go upon every high mountain and beneath every green tree, and commit unchastity there.
Ke pacl se Josiah el tuh tokosra, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Ya kom liye ma koluk Israel el oru? El forla likiyu oana sie mutan su tia pwaye nu sin mukul tumal. Fin inging nukewa ac ye sak folfol nukewa el oru oana sie mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lal.
7 And I said, after she had been doing all these things, Unto me, shall thou return? and she returned not, —and her treacherous sister Judah saw it!
Nga tuh nunku mu tukun el oru ma inge nukewa, el ac foloko nu yuruk. Tuh pa el tiana foloko. Na Judah, tamtael se wial su tia pac pwaye nu sin mukul tumal, el liye ma inge nukewa.
8 Though she saw that for all this, apostate Israel having committed adultery, I had sent her away, and had given a scroll of divorcement unto her, yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but, she also, went and committed unchastity.
Judah el liye pac lah nga Israel fahsrelik, ac nga supwalla mweyen el forla likiyu ac mutawauk in sie mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lal. Tusruktu Judah, tamtael kutasrik se wial Israel, tiana sangeng. El oayapa mutawauk in moul oana sie mutan kosro,
9 Yea though it had come to pass that through the levity of her unchastity, she had defiled the land, —and committed adultery with Stone and with Tree,
ac tia pacna mwekin kutu srisrik. El akfohkfokyela acn uh, ac orek kosro ke el alu nu ke eot ac sak.
10 yet, in spite of all this, her treacherous sister Judah returned not unto me, with all her heart, —but, falsely, Declareth Yahweh.
Tukun ma inge nukewa, Judah, tamtael kutasrik se wial Israel, el orek fwacfa mu el foloko nu yuruk, sruhk tia pwaye insial. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
11 Then said Yahweh unto me, —Apostate Israel, hath justified herself, —more than treacherous Judah.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik lah Israel el finne forla lukel, pwayeiya uh el wo lukel Judah, su kutasrik.
12 Go, and proclaim these words, towards the North and say—Return! thou apostate—Israel, Urgeth Yahweh, I will not lower my face against you, —for full of lovingkindness, I am, Declareth Yahweh, I will not maintain [mine anger] unto times age-abiding.
El fahk nu sik in som ac fahkak kas inge nu epang, “Israel, sifilpa foloko nu yuruk, kom finne tia pwaye nu sik. Nga pakoten ac nga fah tia kasrkusrak. Nga ac fah tia sruokya mulat luk nwe tok.
13 Only, acknowledge thine iniquity, that against Yahweh thy God, hast thou transgressed, —and hast gone hither and thither unto foreigners under every green tree, and unto my voice, ye have not hearkened Declareth Yahweh.
Ma sefanna, kom in fahkak lah oasr ma koluk lom ke kom lain LEUM GOD lom. Fahkak lah ye sak folfol nukewa kom sang lungse lom nu sin god lun mutunfacl saya, ac lah kom tia akos ma sap luk. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
14 Return, ye apostate sons, Urgeth Yahweh, for, I, am become your husband, —therefore will I take you one of a city, and two of a family, and will bring you to Zion;
“Foloko, kowos su tia pwaye nu sik. Kowos ma luk. Nga ac eis sie suwos liki kais sie siti srisrik, ac luo suwos liki kais sie sruf, ac nga fah folokinkowosme nu Fineol Zion.
15 and will give you shepherds according to mine own heart, —who will feed you with knowledge and discretion.
Nga fah sot nu suwos mwet kol su akosyu, ac elos fah kol kowos ke lalmwetmet ac etauk.
16 And it shall come to pass when ye shall be multiplied and become fruitful in the land, in those days, Declareth Yahweh, They shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of Yahweh, Neither shall it come up on the heart, Neither shall they remember it, Neither shall they miss it, Neither shall it be made any more.
Na ke kowos ac puseni in facl sac, mwet uh fah tia sifil kaskas ke Tuptup in Wuleang luk. Elos fah tia sifil nunku kac ku esam. Elos ac tia pac enenu, ku nunku in orala pac sie.
17 At that time, shall they call Jerusalem, The throne of Yahweh, and there shall be gathered unto her all the nations—to the Name of Yahweh, to Jerusalem; and they shall walk no more after the stubbornness of their own wicked heart.
In pacl sac, Jerusalem ac fah pangpang ‘Tron Lun LEUM GOD,’ ac mutunfacl nukewa fah tukeni we in alu nu sik. Elos fah tia sifilpa fahsr tukun inse likkeke ac koluk lalos.
18 In those days, shall the house of Judah go unto the house of Israel, —that they may enter together out of the land of the North, upon the land which I gave as an inheritance unto your fathers.
Mwet Israel ac mwet Judah ac fah tukeni foloko liki sruoh lalos in acn epang, ac sifil foloko nu ke facl se nga tuh sang nu sin papa matu tomowos tuh in mwe usru lalos nwe tok.”
19 Though, I myself, had said, —How can I put thee among the sons, And give thee a land to be coveted, An inheritance of beauty, of the hosts of nations? Yet I said, My father, shalt thou call me, And away from me, shalt thou not turn.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Israel, nga kena eis kowos oana tulik nutik Ac asot nu suwos sie facl insewowo, Su sie mwe usru wolana inmasrlon mutunfacl nukewa. Nga kena kowos in pangonyu papa, Ac tia sifil forla likiyu.
20 But indeed [as] a wife goeth treacherously from her husband, so, have ye acted treacherously with me, O house of Israel, Declareth Yahweh.
Tusruktu kowos tiana pwaye nu sik, Oana sie mutan su tia pwaye nu sin mukul tumal. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
21 A voice on the bare heights, is heard, The weeping of the supplications of the sons of Israel, —Because they have perverted their way, Have forgotten Yahweh their God.
Sie pusra lohngyuk yen turangang fin inging uh: Pusren tung ac kwafe lun mwet Israel Mweyen elos moulkin moul koluk, Ac mulkunla LEUM GOD lalos.
22 Return ye apostate sons, I will heal your apostasies! Behold us! we have come unto thee, For thou, art Yahweh our God.
Foloko, kowos nukewa su forla liki LEUM GOD. Nga fah unwe kowos ac oru kowos in pwayena nu sik. Kowos fahk, “Aok, kut tuku nu yurum, mweyen kom LEUM GOD lasr.
23 Surely, to falsehood, pertain the hills The noisy throng on the mountains, —Surely, in Yahweh our God, is the salvation of Israel!
Wanginna kasreyasr ke kut alu nu sin god lun mwet pegan fin mangon inging uh. Kasru nu sin Israel tuku sin LEUM GOD lasr mukena.
24 But, the Shameful thing, hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth: Their flocks, and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
Tusruktu ke kut alu nu sel Baal, god lun mwekin, wanginla ma nukewa mwet matu lasr tuh kemkatu kac in pacl meet ah — un sheep ac un cow, oayapa tulik mukul ac tulik mutan.
25 We must lie down in our shame And our reproach, be our covering, For, against Yahweh our God, have we sinned, We and our fathers, from our youth even until this day, —Neither have we hearkened unto the voice of Yahweh our God.
Lela kut in oan in mwekin lasr, ac lela mwe mwekin lasr in afinkuti. Kut, ac mwet matu lasr, orekma koluk pacl nukewa lain LEUM GOD lasr. Kut tiana akos ma sap lal.”
