Jeremiah 13
1 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik nga in som ac molela sie mwe lohl linen ac sang losya infulwuk; a El fahk mu nga in tia twenya in kof uh.
Thus says the Lord, Go and procure for yourself a linen girdle, and put it about your loins, and let it not be put in water.
2 Ke ma inge nga molela ac sang losyuwi, oana ma LEUM GOD El fahk.
So I procured the girdle according to the word of the Lord, and put it about my loins.
3 Na LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
4 “Fahla nu Infacl Euphrates ac okanla mwe lohl se ingan in sie luf ke eot uh.”
Take the girdle that is upon your loins, and arise, and go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.
5 Ouinge nga som ac okanla sisken Infacl Euphrates, oana LEUM GOD El fahk.
So I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as the Lord commanded me.
6 Tukun len puspis, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik in folokla nu Infacl Euphrates ac eis mwe lohl sac.
And it came to pass after many days, that the Lord said to me, Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take thence the girdle, which I commanded you to hide there.
7 Ouinge nga folokla, ac pacl se nga konauk acn se ma nga okanla we ah, nga liye lah kulawi ac wanginla sripa.
So I went to the river Euphrates, and dug, and took the girdle out of the place where I [had] buried it: and, behold, it was rotten, utterly good for nothing.
8 Na LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Thus says the Lord,
9 “In ouiya se pacna inge, nga fah kunausla inse fulat lun Judah ac filang lulap lun Jerusalem.
Thus will I mar the pride of Juda, and the pride of Jerusalem;
10 Mwet koluk inge elos tia lungse akosyu. Elos likkeke ac orekma koluk oana meet ah, ac elos alu ac kulansupu god ngia. Ke ma inge, elos ac fah oana mwe lohl se inge ma wanginla sripa.
[even] this great pride [of the men] that will not listen to my words, and have gone after strange gods, to serve them, and to worship them: and they shall be as this girdle, which can be used for nothing.
11 Oana ke sie mwe lohl ac tingilya infulwen sie mwet, ouinge nga tuh finsrak mu mwet Israel ac mwet Judah nukewa in arulana fulme nu sik. Nga oru ouinge tuh elos fah mwet luk, ac elos in kaksakinyu ac akfulatye Inek. Tusruktu elos tiana akosyu.”
For as a girdle cleaves about the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave to myself the house of Israel, and the whole house of Juda; that they might be to me a famous people, and a praise, and a glory: but they did not listen to me.
12 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Jeremiah, fahk nu sin mwet Israel lah sufa in wain nukewa in nwanala ke wain. Elos ac fah topuk mu elos etu lah sufa in wain nukewa enenu in nwanala ke wain.
And you shall say to this people, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and it shall come to pass, if they shall say to you, Shall we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine? that you shall say to them,
13 Na kom in fahk nu selos lah nga, LEUM GOD, ac fah oru tuh mwet uh in sruhila — aok tokosra ke fwilin tulik natul David, mwet tol, mwet palu, ac mwet Jerusalem nukewa.
Thus says the Lord, Behold, I [will] fill the inhabitants of this land, and their kings the sons of David that sit upon their throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and Juda and all the dwellers in Jerusalem, with strong drink.
14 Toko nga fah fukulya mwet inge oana ke sufa uh afokfoki, mwet matu ac mwet fusr oana sie. Wangin pakomuta, kulang, ku nunak munas fah sruokyuwi liki in onelosla.”
And I will scatter them a man and his brother, and their fathers and their sons together: I will not have compassion, says the Lord, and I will not spare, neither will I pity [to save them] from destruction.
15 Mwet Israel, LEUM GOD El kaskas tari! Kowos in inse pusisel ac porongel.
Hear you, and give ear, and be not proud: for the Lord has spoken.
16 Akfulatye LEUM GOD lowos, Meet liki El use lohsr Ac kowos tukulkul fineol uh; Meet liki El ekulla kalem se su kowos finsrak nu kac Nu ke lohsr matoltol.
Give glory to the Lord your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and you shall wait for light, and behold the shadow of death, and they shall be brought into darkness.
17 Kowos fin tia porongo, Nga ac tung in lukma ke sripen inse fulat lowos. Nga fah tung mwemelil, ac sroninmutuk fah kahkla, Mweyen mwet lun God elos utukla nu in sruoh.
But if you will not listen, your soul shall weep in secret because of pride, and your eyes shall pour down tears, because the Lord's flock is sorely bruised.
18 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Fahk nu sin tokosra ac nina kial in fani liki tron lalos, mweyen tefuro wolana lalos itukla liki sifalos.
Say you to the king and the princes, Humble yourselves, and sit down; for your crown of glory is removed from your head.
19 Siti lun Judah layen eir kuhlusyuki. Wangin mwet ku in utyak nu we. Mwet Judah nukewa utukla nu in sruoh.”
The cities towards the south were shut, and there was none to open [them]: Juda is removed [into captivity, ]they have suffered a complete removal.
20 Jerusalem, liye! Mwet lokoalok lom pa tuku liki acn epang! Pia mwet itukot tuh kom in karingin uh — mwet lom su kom arulana yukin?
Lift up your eyes, O Jerusalem, and behold them that come from the north; where is the flock that was given you, the sheep of your glory?
21 Mea kom ac fahk ke mwet su kom pangon mu kawuk lom elos kutangkomla ac leum fom? Kom ac keok oana sie mutan isus.
What will you say when they shall visit you, for you did teach them lessons for rule against yourself; shall not pangs seize you as a woman in travail?
22 Kom fin siyuk lah efu ku ma inge sikyak nu sum — efu ku nuknuk lom sisala liki monum ac sruinkuiyuki kom — mweyen ma koluk lom uh arulana yohk.
And if you should say in your heart, Therefore have these things happened to me? Because of the abundance of your iniquity have your skirts been discovered, that your heels might be exposed.
23 Ya sie mwet sroalsroal ku in ekulla tuhnal, ku soko leopard ku in sisla tuhntun kacl? Elos funu ku, na kowos su pahlana in oru ma koluk lukun ku in lotela in oru ma pwaye.
If the Ethiopian shall change his skin, or the leopardess her spots, then shall you be able to do good, having learnt evil.
24 LEUM GOD El ac akfahsryekowoselik oana ke eng uh okla kutkut yen mwesis.
So I scattered them as sticks carried by the wind into the wilderness.
25 El fahk mu pa inge ma ac sikyak nu sum tok. Pa inge ma El sulela in oru nu sum, mweyen kom mulkunulla ac lulalfongi ke god ma tia pwaye.
Thus is your lot, and the reward of your disobedience to me, says the Lord; as you did forget me, and trust in lies,
26 LEUM GOD sifacna El ac fah sarukkomla in akmwekinye kom.
I also will expose your skirts upon your face, and your shame shall be seen;
27 El liyena ke kom oru ma El srunga. El liye ke kom fahsr tukun god lun mwet pegan fin inging ac acn tupasrpasr, oana sie mukul su rapkui mutan kien mwet tulan lal, ku oana soko horse mukul mwel horse mutan. We nu suwos, mwet Jerusalem! Kowos ac nasnasla ngac?
your adultery also, and your neighing, and the looseness of your fornication: on the hills and in the fields I have seen your abominations. Woe to you, O Jerusalem, for you have not been purified so as to follow me; how long yet [shall it be]?
