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 saith Jehovah to me: Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it on thy loins, and put it not into water!
2 Ke ma inge nga molela ac sang losyuwi, oana ma LEUM GOD El fahk.
So I got a girdle according to the word of Jehovah, and put it on my loins.
3 Na LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
Then the word of Jehovah 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 girdle which thou hast gotten, which is upon thy loins, and arise, 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 near the Euphrates, as Jehovah commanded me.
6 Tukun len puspis, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik in folokla nu Infacl Euphrates ac eis mwe lohl sac.
And after many days Jehovah said to me. Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take thence the girdle which I commanded thee 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 Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hidden it; and, behold, the girdle was marred, so that it was good for nothing.
8 Na LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sik ac fahk,
Then the word of Jehovah came to me, saying: —
9 “In ouiya se pacna inge, nga fah kunausla inse fulat lun Judah ac filang lulap lun Jerusalem.
Thus saith Jehovah: After this manner will I 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 hearken to my words, Who walk after the obstinacy of their heart, And walk after strange gods, To serve them and to worship them, Shall be like this girdle, Which is good 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 cleaveth to the loins of a man, So have I caused to cleave to me the whole house of Israel, And the whole house of Judah, saith Jehovah, That they might be to me a people, And a name, and a praise, and a glory; But they hearkened not 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.
Then shalt thou speak to them in this manner. Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Every flagon shall be filled with wine. And they will say to thee, “Do we not know that every flagon 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 shalt thou say to them, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, And the kings that sit upon 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.”
And I will dash them one against another, Even fathers and children together, saith Jehovah; I will not pity, nor spare, Nor show mercy, so as not to destroy them.
15 Mwet Israel, LEUM GOD El kaskas tari! Kowos in inse pusisel ac porongel.
Hear ye, and attend! be not lifted up! For Jehovah speaketh.
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 Jehovah, your God, Before he bring darkness, And your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, And, while ye look for light, He turn it into deathlike shade, And make 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 ye will not hear, I will mourn in secret places for your pride, I will weep continually, And my eyes shall run down with tears, Because the flock of Jehovah is carried away 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, Sit ye down upon the ground, For your beautiful crown shall fall 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 of the South are shut up, and none openeth them; Judah is carried away captive, all of it, Every man of it is carried away captive.
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 behold them that come from the North! Where is the flock that was given thee, thy 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 wilt thou say when he shall punish thee? For thou thyself hast taught them to be lords over thee. Shall not sorrows seize thee, 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 thou say in thine heart, “Wherefore are these things coming upon me?” For the greatness of thy iniquity are thy skirts uncovered, And thy heels made bare.
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 ye also do good, Who have been accustomed to do evil.
24 LEUM GOD El ac akfahsryekowoselik oana ke eng uh okla kutkut yen mwesis.
Therefore will I scatter you like stubble, Which passeth away before the wind of the desert.
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 thy lot, The portion measured out for thee by me, saith Jehovah, Because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
26 LEUM GOD sifacna El ac fah sarukkomla in akmwekinye kom.
Therefore will I lift up thy skirts over thy head, So that thy 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?
Thine adulteries, thy neighings, The lewdness of thy whoredom on the hills, in the fields, All thy abominations, have I seen. Woe to thee, O Jerusalem! How long ere thou wilt become pure!
