Jeremiah 14
1 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ke sie pacl in tuka.
This is the LORD’s word that came to Jeremiah concerning 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 mourns, and its gates languish. They sit in black on the ground. The cry of Jerusalem goes up.
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.
Their nobles send their little ones to the waters. They come to the cisterns, and find no water. They return with their vessels empty. They are disappointed and confounded, and cover their heads.
4 Mwet orek ima uh arulana supwarla, Ac afinya mutalos Ke sripen wanginna af, Ac infohk uh paolana.
Because of the ground which is cracked, because no rain has been in the land, the plowmen are disappointed. They cover their heads.
5 Soko deer mutan isusla inimae Ac sisla natu natul ac som, Mweyen wanginna mah.
Yes, the doe in the field also calves and forsakes her young, because there is no grass.
6 Donkey lemnak uh tu fin mangon inging uh Ac mongolos tuhyak ke mal, oana kosro jackal. Ohkla mutalos Mweyen wangin mwe mongo nalos.
The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights. They pant for air like jackals. Their eyes fail, because there is no vegetation.
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 testify against us, work for your name’s sake, LORD; for our rebellions are many. We have sinned against you.
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?
You hope of Israel, its Savior in the time of trouble, why should you be as a foreigner in the land, and as a wayfaring man who turns aside to stay for a 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.’”
Why should you be like a scared man, as a mighty man who can’t save? Yet you, LORD, are in the middle of us, and we are called by your name. Don’t leave 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.”
The LORD says to this people: “Even so they have loved to wander. They have not restrained their feet. Therefore the LORD does not accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish them for their sins.”
11 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Nik kom siyuk sik in kasru mwet inge.
The LORD said to me, “Don’t pray for this people for their good.
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.”
When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and meal offering, I will not accept them; but I will consume them by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.”
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 I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, the prophets tell them, ‘You will not see the sword, neither will you have famine; but I will give you assured peace 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.
Then the LORD said to me, “The prophets prophesy lies in my name. I didn’t send them. I didn’t command them. I didn’t speak to them. They prophesy to you a lying vision, divination, and a thing of nothing, and the deceit of their own heart.
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 the LORD says concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name, but I didn’t send them, yet they say, ‘Sword and famine will not be in this land.’ Those prophets will be consumed by sword and famine.
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.”
The people to whom they prophesy will be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword. They will have no one to bury them—them, their wives, their sons, or their daughters, for I will pour their wickedness on them.
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.
“You shall say this word to them: “‘Let my eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease; for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous wound.
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 go out into the field, then behold, the slain with the sword! If I enter into the city, then behold, those who are sick with famine! For both the prophet and the priest go about in the land, and have no knowledge.’”
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.
Have you utterly rejected Judah? Has your soul loathed Zion? Why have you struck us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!
20 Kut orekma koluk lain kom, LEUM GOD; Kut fahkak ma koluk lasr sifacna Ac ma koluk lun mwet matu lasr.
We acknowledge, LORD, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against you.
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 abhor us, for your name’s sake. Do not disgrace the throne of your glory. Remember, and don’t break your 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 any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? Or can the sky give showers? Aren’t you he, the LORD our God? Therefore we will wait for you; for you have made all these things.
