< Jeremiah 11 >

1 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD saying,
2 “Porongo kas ke wuleang uh. Fahk nu sin mwet Judah ac nu selos su muta Jerusalem
Hear you the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
3 lah nga, LEUM GOD lun Israel, fah selngawi mwet nukewa su tia akos kas in wuleang se inge —
And say you to them, Thus says the LORD God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeys not the words of this covenant,
4 wuleang se su nga tuh orala yurin mwet matu lalos ke nga tuh usalosme liki acn Egypt, acn se ma oana funyu firirir se nu selos ah. Nga tuh fahk nu selos in akosyu ac in oru ma nukewa ma nga sapkin. Nga fahkang nu selos mu elos fin akos, elos ac fah mwet luk ac nga ac fah God lalos.
Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall you be my people, and I will be your God:
5 Na nga fah akpwayei wuleang su nga tuh orala yurin mwet matu lalos mu nga ac sang nu selos facl mut ac kasrup fohk we se su elos muta fac inge.” Ac nga fahk, “Aok pwaye, LEUM GOD.”
That I may perform the oath which I have sworn to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O LORD.
6 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Fahla nu in siti lun Judah ac nu inkanek Jerusalem ac sulkakin kas luk we. Fahk nu sin mwet uh in porongo kalmen kas in wuleang sac ac akos.
Then the LORD said to me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear you the words of this covenant, and do them.
7 Ke nga tuh use mwet matu lalos liki facl Egypt, nga wili na nu selos in akosyu, ac nga kalwenina in akesmakinyalos kac nwe misenge.
For I earnestly protested to your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.
8 Tusruktu elos tiana porongo ku akosyu, a elos nukewa likkekelana ac oru na ma koluk. Nga sapkin elos in karinganang wuleang sac, a elos srunga. Ouinge nga use nu faclos mwe kalyai nukewa ma aketeyuki in wuleang uh.”
Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring on them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do: but they did them not.
9 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Mwet Judah ac mwet Jerusalem elos orek pwapa koluk in lainyu.
And the LORD said to me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
10 Elos sifilpa folokla nu ke ouiya koluk lun mwet matu lalos meet ah, su srunga oru ma nga fahk. Elos alu nu ke god saya. Israel ac Judah kewa kunausla wuleang ma nga tuh oru yurin mwet matu lalos.
They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
11 Ouinge nga, LEUM GOD, akesmakinyalos lah nga ac fah use ongoiya lulap nu faclos, ac elos fah tia ku in kaingkunla. Elos fin mau wowoyak nu sik nga in kasrelos, nga ac fah tia lohngolos.
Therefore thus says the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil on them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry to me, I will not listen to them.
12 Na mwet Judah ac Jerusalem fah som ac wowoyak nu ke god ma elos esukak mwe kisa keng nu se, tusruktu god ingan ac fah koflana molelosla ke pacl se ongoiya inge ac tuku uh.
Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry to the gods to whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
13 Oasr god puspis lun mwet Judah oana pisen siti lalos. Ac mwet Jerusalem elos etoak loang puspis in orek kisa nu sin Baal, god srungayuk sac, oana pisen inkanek in siti uh.
For according to the number of your cities were your gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have you set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal.
14 Jeremiah, nimet kom aol mwet inge in pre nu sik ku kwafe nu sik kaclos. Elos fin sun ongoiya ac pang in sukok kasru sik, nga ac tia porongalos.”
Therefore pray not you for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry to me for their trouble.
15 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet su nga lungse yohk elos oru na ma koluk. Ya oasr suwohs lalos in muta in Tempul sik? Ya elos nunku mu elos ku in kutongya mwe ongoiya nu selos ke elos orek wulela ac ke elos kisakin kosro natulos? Ya elos ku in engan?
What has my beloved to do in my house, seeing she has worked lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from you? when you do evil, then you rejoice.
16 Sie pacl ah nga pangon elos oana soko sak olive matol insroa ac rukruk ke fahko kato. A inge, ke sie ngirngir oana pusren pulal, nga fah esukak sra uh ac koteya lah kac uh.
The LORD called your name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he has kindled fire on it, and the branches of it are broken.
17 “Nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, pa tuh yukwiya Israel ac Judah. Tuh pa inge nga akkalemye nu selos lah elos ac sun ongoiya. Elos sifacna use ma inge nu faclos mweyen elos orekma koluk. Elos akkasrkusrakyeyu ke sripen elos orek kisa nu sel Baal.”
For the LORD of hosts, that planted you, has pronounced evil against you, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense to Baal.
18 LEUM GOD El akkalemye nu sik ke nunak sulallal ma mwet lokoalok luk elos oru lainyu.
And the LORD has given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then you showed me their doings.
19 Nga oana soko sheep fusr ma tia etu lah ac utukla in anwuki — nga tiana etu lah pwapa koluk lalos uh ma nu sik. Elos fahk, “Lela kut in pakiya sak soko uh ke srakna moul. Kut in uniya tuh in wangin mwet sifil esamul.”
But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.
20 Na nga pre ac fahk, “O LEUM GOD Kulana, nununku lom uh suwohs. Kom srike ac etu nunak ac insien mwet. Nga filiyuwot nu inpoum, ouinge lela nga in liye ke kom ac oru foloksak nu sin mwet inge.”
But, O LORD of hosts, that judge righteously, that try the reins and the heart, let me see your vengeance on them: for to you have I revealed my cause.
21 Mukul Anathoth elos lungse nga in anwuki, ac elos fahkma nu sik lah elos ac uniyuwi nga fin tia tui in kaskas Inen LEUM GOD.
Therefore thus says the LORD of the men of Anathoth, that seek your life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD, that you die not by our hand:
22 Ouinge LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk, “Nga ac kalyaelos! Mukul fusr natulos ac fah anwuki ke mweun, ac tulik natulos ac fah misa ke masrinsral.
Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine:
23 Nga oakiya pacl in ongoiya se tari nu fin mwet Anathoth, ac ke pacl sac tuku, wangin sie selos fah moul.”
And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil on the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.
