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 to me, "Go, and buy yourself a linen belt, and put it on your waist, and do not put it in water."
2 Ke ma inge nga molela ac sang losyuwi, oana ma LEUM GOD El fahk.
So I bought a belt according to the word of the LORD, and put it on my waist.
3 Na LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
The word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying,
4 “Fahla nu Infacl Euphrates ac okanla mwe lohl se ingan in sie luf ke eot uh.”
"Take the belt that you have bought, which is on your waist, and arise, go to the Perath, and hide it there in a cleft 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 Perath, 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.
It happened after many days, that the LORD said to me, "Arise, go to the Perath, and take the belt from there, 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.
Then I went to the Perath, and dug, and took the belt from the place where I had hidden it; and look, the belt was marred, it was profitable for nothing.
8 Na LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
9 “In ouiya se pacna inge, nga fah kunausla inse fulat lun Judah ac filang lulap lun Jerusalem.
"Thus says the LORD, 'In this way I will mar the pride of Judah, and the great 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.
This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and are gone after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this belt, which is profitable 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 the belt clings to the waist of a man, so have I caused to cling to me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah,' says the LORD; 'that they might be my people, for a name, for praise, and for glory. But they would not listen.
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.
Therefore you shall speak to them this word: 'Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, "Every jar shall be filled with wine."' And if they shall say to you, 'Do we not certainly know that every jar shall be filled with wine?'
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.
Then you shall tell them, 'Thus says the LORD, "Look, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings who sit on David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
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.”
I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, says the LORD. I will not pity, nor spare, nor have compassion, that I should not destroy them."'"
15 Mwet Israel, LEUM GOD El kaskas tari! Kowos in inse pusisel ac porongel.
"Hear, and give ear; do not be 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 causes darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and, while you look for light, he turns it into the shadow of death, and makes it gross 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 hear it, my soul shall weep in secret for your pride; and my eye shall weep bitterly, and run down with tears, because the LORD's flock is taken captive."
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 to the king and to the queen mother, 'Take a lowly seat, for your glorious crowns have come down from your heads.
19 Siti lun Judah layen eir kuhlusyuki. Wangin mwet ku in utyak nu we. Mwet Judah nukewa utukla nu in sruoh.”
The cities toward the Negev are shut, and there is no one to open them: Judah is carried away into exile, all of it; it is wholly carried away into exile.'"
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, and see those who come from the north: where is the flock that was given you, your beautiful flock?
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 he shall set over you as head those whom you have yourself taught to be friends to you? Shall not sorrows take hold of you, as of 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.
If you say in your heart, 'Why are these things come on me?' for the greatness of your iniquity are your skirts uncovered, and your heels suffer violence.
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.
Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Then may you also do good, who are accustomed to do evil.
24 LEUM GOD El ac akfahsryekowoselik oana ke eng uh okla kutkut yen mwesis.
'therefore I will scatter them, as the stubble that passes away, by the wind of 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.
This is your lot, the portion measured to you from me,' says the LORD; 'because you have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
26 LEUM GOD sifacna El ac fah sarukkomla in akmwekinye kom.
therefore I will also uncover your skirts on your face, and your shame shall appear.
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?
I have seen your abominations, even your adulteries, and your neighing, the lewdness of your prostitution, on the hills in the field. Woe to you, Jerusalem. You will not be made clean; how long shall it yet be?'"
