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?
You are righteous, LORD, when I contend with you; yet I would like to plead a case with you. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are they all at ease who 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.
You have planted them. Yes, they have taken root. They grow. Yes, they produce fruit. You are near in their mouth, and far from their heart.
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 you, LORD, know me. You see me, and test my heart towards you. 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 will the land mourn, and the herbs of the whole country wither? Because of the wickedness of those who dwell therein, the animals and birds are consumed; because they said, “He won’t see our latter 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 you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? Though in a land of peace you are secure, yet how will you do in the pride of the 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 your brothers, and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you! Even they have cried aloud after you! Don’t believe them, though they speak beautiful words to you.
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 my house. I have cast off my 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.
My heritage has become to me as a lion in the forest. She has uttered her voice against me. Therefore I have hated her.
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!
Is my heritage to me as a speckled bird of prey? Are the birds of prey against her all around? Go, assemble all the animals of the field. Bring them 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 shepherds 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 a desolation. It mourns to me, being desolate. The whole land is made desolate, because no one cares.
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.
Destroyers have come on all the bare heights in the wilderness; for the sword of the LORD devours from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land. No flesh has 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, and have reaped thorns. They have exhausted themselves, and profit nothing. You will be ashamed of your fruits, because of the LORD’s fierce anger.”
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.
The LORD says, “Concerning all my evil neighbours, who touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: Behold, I will pluck them up from off their land, and will pluck up the house of Judah from amongst 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.
It will happen that after I have plucked them up, I will return and have compassion on them. I 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.
It will happen, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, ‘As the LORD lives;’ even as they taught my people to swear by Baal, then they will be built up in the middle 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 hear, then I will pluck up that nation, plucking up and destroying it,” says the LORD.
