Jeremiah 12
1 LEUM GOD, nga fin srukak sie sripa nga kom in tukeni akukuin kac, Ma kom ac fahk uh pa pwaye uh. Ne ouinge, nga ke kusen siyuk nu sum ke nununku suwohs. Efu ku mwet koluk uh kasrupi? Efu ku mwet kutasrik uh wo ouiyalos?
Righteous art thou, O Yhwh, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously?
2 Kom yokwalosi, ac elos okahla; Elos kapak ac isus fahko. Elos fahk kas wo keim pacl nukewa A insialos loesla nu sum.
Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins.
3 Tusruktu, LEUM GOD, kom eteyu. Kom liye ma nga oru Ac etu lah nga lungse kom. Amakunla mwet koluk inge oana sheep ma ac anwuki; Taranulos nu ke pacl lalos in anwuki.
But thou, O Yhwh, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
4 Facl sesr uh ac paola nwe ngac? Mah nukewa inima uh ac uli putaka? Kosro ac won uh masla Ke sripen orekma koluk lun mwet lasr — Mwet su fahk mu, “God El tia liye ma kut oru uh.”
How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end.
5 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Jeremiah, kom fin totola ke kom akutun nu sin mwet, Na kom ac akutun fuka nu sin horse uh? Kom fin tukulkul ke sie acn mwesas, Na kom ac tuyak fuka ke insak matol sisken Infacl Jordan?
If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?
6 Finne ma lim, mwet in sou lom sifacna, elos kiapwekomla. Elos welulosyang su lain kom. Nik kom lulalfongelos, elos finne kaskas kulang nu sum.”
For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee.
7 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga ngetla liki Israel. Nga sisla tari mutunfacl se nga sulela in ma luk. Mwet su nga lungse uh nga eisalosyang Nu inpoun mwet lokoalok lalos.
I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
8 Mwet solla luk elos forma lainyu. Elos ngutngut nu sik Oana soko lion insak uh. Ke ma inge nga srungalos.
Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it.
9 Mwet solla luk elos oana sie won Ma won ngia tuku liki acn nukewa in lainul. Pangonma kosro lemnak nukewa In tuku kangla nufon!
Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.
10 Mwet kol puspis ke mutunfacl saya elos kunausla ima in grape luk. Elos lolongya ima luk uh. Elos ekulla facl wolana sik nu ke acn mwesis.
Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
11 Elos oru acn uh sie acn mwesisla, wangin ma oan fac, Musalla oan ye mutuk. Facl sac nufon ekla nu ke sie acn mwesis, Ac wanginna mwet lohang nu kac.
They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.
12 Mwet uh tuku liki acn fulat nukewa yen mwesis uh In usla kutena ma lula we. Nga supwala mweun in kunausla facl sac nufon; Wangin mwet ac muta in misla.
The spoilers are come upon all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of Yhwh shall devour from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh shall have peace.
13 Mwet luk elos taknelik wheat, a kosrani kokul. Elos kemkatu ke wangin. Ke sripen kasrkusrak luk Ma sunalos uh tiana fok.”
They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of Yhwh.
14 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Oasr ma nga ac fahk ke mwet tulan lun Israel su kunausla facl se nga tuh sang sin mwet luk, mwet Israel. Nga fah eisla mwet kutasrik inge liki facl selos, oana ke soko sak ac fifyak uh. Ac nga fah molela Judah lukelos.
Thus saith Yhwh against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.
15 Tusruktu tukun nga usalosla, nga fah pakomutalos. Nga fah folokonma kais sie mutunfacl nu fin acn selos sifacna, ac nu facl selos sifacna.
And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
16 Elos fin wi mwet luk alu ke insialos pwaye, ac elos fin fulahk ke kas inge: ‘Oana ke LEUM GOD El moul’ — oana ke elos tuh luti mwet luk in fulahk inen Baal in pacl meet ah — na elos fah ku in oaoala yurin mwet luk, ac wi eis mwe insewowo.
And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, Yhwh liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people.
17 Tusruktu kutena mutunfacl fin tia akos, na nga fah fusulosyak ac kunauselosla. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith Yhwh.
