Jeremiah 18
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
2 “Arise and go out to the potter's house, for I will have you hear my word there.”
“Oatula nu ke lohm sin mwet orek ahlu ke fohk kle, ac ingo nga fah sot nu sum kas ma nga lungse kom in fahkak.”
3 So I went out to the potter's house, and behold! The potter was working on the potter's wheel.
Ouinge nga som nu we, ac nga liyauk mwet orek ahlu sac ke el orekma ke wheel in orekma lal.
4 But the object of clay that he was molding was ruined in his hand, so he changed his mind and made another object that seemed good in his eyes to do.
El fin orala sie ahlu tuh tia sun lungse lal, el ac eis kle sac ac ekulla nu ke sie pacna lumah.
5 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
6 “Should I not be able to act like this potter with you, house of Israel?—this is Yahweh's declaration. Behold! Like clay in a potter's hand—that is how you are in my hand, house of Israel.
“Ya tia oasr ku luk in oru nu suwos, mwet Israel, oana ke mwet orek ahlu se ac oru ke kle lal uh? Kowos muta inpouk oana ke kle uh oan inpoun mwet orek ahlu.
7 At one moment, I may proclaim something about a nation or a kingdom, that I will drive it out, tear it down, or destroy it.
Nga fin fahk ke kutu pacl mu nga ac fusak, koteya, ku kunausla kutena mutunfacl ku tokosrai,
8 But if the nation about which I have made that proclamation turns from its evil, then I will relent from the disaster that I was planning to bring upon it.
a toko mutunfacl sac forla liki orekma koluk lal, na nga ac tila oru ma nga tuh fahkla mu nga ac oru.
9 At another moment, I may proclaim something about a nation or a kingdom, that I will build it up or plant it.
Ku nga fin fahk mu nga ac musaeak ku akkeye sie mutunfacl ku tokosrai,
10 But if it does evil in my eyes by not listening to my voice, then I will stop the good that I had said I would do for them.
na toko mutunfacl sac tia akosyu ac orekma koluk, na nga ac tila oru ma nga fahkla mu nga ac oru.
11 So now, speak to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and say, 'Yahweh says this: See, I am about to form disaster against you. I am about to devise a plan against you. Repent, each person from his wicked way, so your ways and your practices will bring good to you.'
Ke ma inge, fahkang nu sin mwet Judah ac mwet Jerusalem lah nga akoo in lainulos ac kalyaelos. Fahkang elos in tui liki moul koluk lalos, ac aolla ouiya ma elos oru ingan.
12 But they will say, 'This is no use. We will act according to our own plans. Each one of us will do what his evil, stubborn heart desires.'
Elos ac topuk kom ac fahk, “Mo, efu ku kut in tui? Kut ac likkekena ac oru na ma koluk ke lungse lasr.”
13 Therefore Yahweh says this, 'Ask the nations, who has ever heard of such a thing as this? The virgin Israel has committed a horrible act.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Siyuk sin mutunfacl nukewa lah nu oasr pacl ma Kain ouiya inge nu sikyak meet. Ouiya na koluk se pa mwet Israel uh oru inge!
14 Does the snow in Lebanon ever leave the rocky hills on its sides? Are the mountain streams coming from far away ever destroyed, those cold streams?
Ya nu oasr pacl wanginla snow fin acn eoteot fulat Lebanon? Ya sungan infacl oyohu we uh nu oasr pacl mihnla?
15 Yet my people have forgotten me. They have made offerings to useless idols and been made to stumble in their paths; they have left the ancient paths to walk lesser paths.
Ma inge finne fahsrna wo, a mwet luk uh mulkinyula. Elos esukak mwe keng nu ke ma sruloala. Elos tukulkul ke inkanek lalos. Elos tia sifilpa fahsr ke ouiya meet ah, A elos fahsr ke inkanek ma tia akilenyuki.
16 Their land will become a horror, an object of everlasting hissing. Everyone who passes by her will shudder and shake his head.
Elos orala acn se inge in sie mwe aksangeng, Ma ac srungayukla nwe tok. Elos nukewa su fahsr we ac fah arulana lut ke ma elos liye. Elos ac fah usruk sifalos ke fwefela lalos.
17 I will scatter them before their enemies like an eastern wind. I will show them my back, and not my face, on the day of their disaster.'”
Nga ac fah luselik mwet luk ye mutun mwet lokoalok lalos, Oana ke kutkut uh ukukla ke eng kutulap. Nga ac fah ngetla lukelos, Ac tia kasrelos ke pacl in ongoiya nu selos.”
18 So the people said, “Come, let us make plots against Jeremiah, since the law will never perish from the priests, or advice from the wise men, or words from the prophets. Come, let us attack him with our words and no longer pay attention to anything he proclaims.”
Na mwet uh fahk, “Wona in oasr ma kut oru nu sel Jeremiah! Oasr mwet tol yorosr in luti kut, ac mwet lalmwetmet in aknunakye kut, ac mwet palu in fahkak kas lun God nu sesr. Lela kut in orek loh kikiap lainul ac tia sifil lohng ma el fahk uh.”
19 Pay attention to me, Yahweh, and listen to the voice of my enemies.
Na nga pre ac fahk, “LEUM GOD, lipsre pre luk, ac porongo ma mwet lokoalok luk inge fahk keik.
20 Will disaster from them really be my reward for being good to them? For they have dug a pit for me. Remember how I stood before you to speak for their welfare, to cause your fury to turn away from them.
Ya ma koluk uh pa molin ma wo? A liye, elos pukanak luf se nu sik nga in putatyang nu loac. Esam lah nga tuh tuku nu yurum in kwafe kaclos, ac srike in loangelos liki kasrkusrak lom.
21 Therefore give their children over to famine, and give them to the hands of those who use the sword. So let their women become bereaved and widows, and their men be killed, and their young men killed by the sword in battle.
Ke ma inge, LEUM GOD, lela tulik natulos in misa ke masrinsral, ac in anwuki pac ke mweun. Lela mukul uh in misa ke mas ac mwet fusr in anwuki ke mweun. Mutan an in katinmasla, ac wangin tulik natulos.
22 Let a distressed shout be heard from their houses, as you suddenly bring raiders against them. For they have dug a pit to capture me and have hidden traps for my feet.
Supwala sie un mwet koluk in kunausya lohm selos ac usla koano uh ke wangin eteya selos. Oru elos in wowoyak ke tuninfong. Mwet inge pukanak sie luf nga in putatyang nu loac, ac oakiya mwe kwasrip in sruokyuwi.
23 But you, Yahweh, you know all of their plans against me to kill me. Do not forgive their iniquities and sins. Do not wipe their sins away from you. Instead, let them be overthrown before you. Act against them in the time of your wrath.
LEUM GOD, kom etu nufon pwapa lalos in uniyuwi. Nikmet nunak munas nu selos ke orekma koluk lalos, ku tulalosla liki ma sufal lalos. Siselosi nu in fohk uh ac kutangulosla. Oru ma inge nu selos in kasrkusrak lom.”
