Jeremiah 14
1 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ke sie pacl in tuka.
So much of the word of Yahweh as came unto Jeremiah, concerning the matter of the drought: —
2 “Judah el muta in asor; Wanginla ma orek ke mutunpot lun siti we. Mwet lal uh ona in fohk uh in asor, Ac Jerusalem el wowoyak in suk kasru.
Judah mourneth, And the gates thereof, pine They lie in gloom on the ground, —And, the outcry of Jerusalem, hath ascended;
3 Mwet leum uh supwala mwet kulansap lalos in ut kof; Elos som nu ke nien kof Tusruktu wangin kof we. Elos foloko ac wangin koanon mwe neinyuk kof lalos. Ke sripen elos fohsak ac mwekinla, Elos okanla mutalos.
And, their nobles have sent their menials to the waters, —They have been to the pits, They have found no water They have returned, their vessels empty, They are pale and ashamed and have covered their heads.
4 Mwet orek ima uh arulana supwarla, Ac afinya mutalos Ke sripen wanginna af, Ac infohk uh paolana.
Because the ground, is cracked, For there hath been no rain in the land, The plowmen are pale They have covered their heads.
5 Soko deer mutan isusla inimae Ac sisla natu natul ac som, Mweyen wanginna mah.
For, even the hind of the field hath calved and forsaken, Because there is no young herbage;
6 Donkey lemnak uh tu fin mangon inging uh Ac mongolos tuhyak ke mal, oana kosro jackal. Ohkla mutalos Mweyen wangin mwe mongo nalos.
Yea, wild asses stand still on the bare heights, They pant for air like jackals, —Dimmed are their eyes Because there is no grass.
7 Mwet luk elos wowoyak nu sik ac fahk, ‘Ma koluk lasr finne fal in liskutla, LEUM GOD, kasre kut oana ke kom wulema. Kut forla liki kom pacl pus; Kut orekma koluk lain kom.
Though, our iniquities, have testified against us, O Yahweh, effectually work thou for the sake of thy Name, —For our apostasies have abounded Against thee, have we sinned.
8 Kom mukena pa mwe finsrak lun mwet Israel, Kom na pa molikutla liki mwe ongoiya. Efu kom ku oana sie mwetsac in facl sesr, Oana sie mwet fufahsryesr su muta yorosr ke fong se na?
Thou Hope of Israel, His Saviour in the time of distress, —Wherefore shouldst thou be as a sojourner in the and? Or as a wayfarer, who hath turned aside to lodge for the night?
9 Efu kom oana sie mwet ma lut ke ma sikyak uh, Oana sie mwet mweun ma tia ku in kasru? LEUM GOD, kom muta inmasrlosr! Eteyuk kut lah kut mwet lom; Nimet siskutla.’”
Wherefore, shouldst thou be as a man astounded, As a mighty man who cannot save? Yet, thou, art in our midst—O Yahweh And, thy Name, on us, hath been called Do not abandon us!
10 Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk ke mwet inge: “Elos lungse in kaingla likiyu, ac tia sifacna karingin ouiyalos. Ke ma inge, nga tia insewowo selos. Nga fah esam orekma tafongla lalos, ac kalyaelos ke sripen ma koluk lalos.”
Thus, saith Yahweh To this people In this way, have they loved to wander, Their feet, have they not restrained, —Yahweh, therefore hath not accepted them, Now, will he call to mind their iniquity, —That he may punish their sins.
11 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Nik kom siyuk sik in kasru mwet inge.
And Yahweh said unto me, —Do not pray for this people for blessing;
12 Elos finne lalo, nga fah tia lohng pusren tung lalos. Elos finne oru mwe kisa firir ac mwe kisa wheat nu sik, nga ac fah tia engan kac. A nga fah onelosi ke mweun ac ke sracl ac ke mas.”
Though they fast, I am not going to hearken unto their loud cry, and Though they offer ascending-sacrifice and meal-offering, I am not going to accept them, —For with sword and with famine and with pestilence, am, I, about to consume them.
13 Na nga fahk, “LEUM GOD Fulatlana, kom etu lah mwet palu elos fahkang nu sin mwet uh lah ac fah wangin mweun ku sracl, mweyen elos fahk mu kom wulela tari mu ac fah oasr misla mukena in facl sesr uh.”
Then said I, Ah, My Lord Yahweh! Lo! the prophets, are saying to them—Ye shall not see the sword And famine, shall ye not have, —For prosperity in truth, will I give you, in this place.
14 Na LEUM GOD El topuk, “Mwet palu elos kaskas kikiap Inek. Nga tiana supwalos, ac nga tia sapkin elos in oru kutena ma, ku fahkang kutena ma nu selos. Aruruma elos fahk uh tia ma sik. Kas in palu lalos ma na elos sifacna kinauk ac wanginna sripa.
So then Yahweh said unto me, Falsehood, are the prophets prophesying in my name, I have not sent them Neither have I commanded them, Neither have I spoken unto them, —A vision of falsehood, and A divination of worthlessness and A fraud of their own hearts, They, are prophesying unto you.
15 Nga, LEUM GOD, fahk nu sum ma nga ac oru nu sin mwet palu ingan su nga tia supu a elos kaskas Inek, ac fahk mu mweun ac sracl fah tia sun facl se inge. Nga fah onelosi ke mweun ac ke sracl.
Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh concerning the prophets who are prophesying in my Name though, I, sent them not, and yet, they have been, saying, Neither sword nor famine, shall there be in this land, —By sword or by famine, shall, those prophets, be consumed;
16 Ac funu mwet ma elos fahk ma inge nu se, ac fah anwuki pac elos ke mweun ac ke sracl. Manolos ac fah sisilana ke inkanek Jerusalem. Ac fah wangin mwet in puknelosi. Ma inge ac sikyak nu selos nukewa — mukul, mutan, ac tulik. Nga ac fah oru nu selos fal nu ke ma koluk lalos.”
And the people to whom they have been prophesying shall be getting cast out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword, and of there being none to give burial unto them, them, their wives, nor their sons nor their daughters, —So will I pour out upon them their own wickedness.
17 LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sik in fahkang nu sin mwet uh ke asor luk. Na nga fahk: “Lela sroninmutuk in soror ke len ac fong. Lela nga in tia tui ke tung, Mweyen acn virgin nutik — su mwet luk — arulana kinkineta Ac apkuran in misa.
Therefore shalt thou say unto them this word, Let mine eyes, run down with tears night and day, And let them not rest, —For with a grievous injury, hath been injured the virgin the daughter of my people, With a wound, severe indeed!
18 Ke nga illa nu likin siti uh, Nga liye monin mwet anwuki ke mweun. Ke nga som nu in siti srisrik, Nga liye mwet misa ke masrinsral. Mwet palu ac mwet tol uh oru na orekma lalos, Tusruktu elos tia etu ma elos oru.”
If I have gone out into the field, Then lo! the slain of the sword! And, if I have entered the city, Then lo! the diseases of famine! For, both prophet and priest, have trafficked against the land unnoticed.
19 LEUM GOD, ya kom ngetla na pwaye liki Judah? Ya kom srunga mwet Zion? Efu kom ku puok kut Pwanang kut apkuran in misa? Kut suk misla, a wangin ma wo sikyak; Kut finsrak mu kut ac kwela, a mwe aksangeng mukena pa kut liye.
Hast thou, utterly rejected, Judah? Zion itself, hath thy soul loathed? Why, hast thou smitten us so that there is for us no healing? A waiting For prosperity, but no welfare, and For a time of healing, but lo! terror!
20 Kut orekma koluk lain kom, LEUM GOD; Kut fahkak ma koluk lasr sifacna Ac ma koluk lun mwet matu lasr.
We acknowledge O Yahweh Our own lawlessness The iniquity of our fathers, —For we have sinned against thee.
21 Esam wuleang lom ac nimet ngetla liki kut; Nimet akmwekinye acn Jerusalem, Acn sin tron wolana lom. Karinganang wuleang se kom orala inmasrlosr, ac tia kunausla.
Do not despise—for the sake of thy Name, Do not treat with contempt—the throne of thy glory, —Remember!—do not break thy covenant with us.
22 Ma sruloala uh tia ku in supwama af; Pukunyeng uh tia ku in sifacna oru in afi. Kom na pa oru ma inge, Pwanang kut filiya finsrak lasr in kom, LEUM GOD lasr.
Are there, among the vanities of the nations senders of rain? Or can, the heavens themselves, give myriad drops? Art not, thou, he, O Yahweh our God? Therefore will we wait for thee, For, thou, hast made all these.
