Jeremiah 15
1 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Moses ac Samuel finne tu inge in kwafe nu sik ke mwet uh, nga fah tiana pakomutalos. Sap elos in som liki ye mutuk.
And the Lord said to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before my face, my soul could not be toward them: dismiss this people, and let them go forth.
2 Ke elos siyuk sum lah elos ac som nu ya, fahkang nu selos lah nga fahk ouinge: “Kutu selos ac fah misa ke mas — Na pa ingan acn elos ac som nu we! Kutu selos ac fah misa ke mweun — Na pa ingan acn elos ac som nu we! Kutu selos fah misa ke masrinsral — Na pa ingan acn elos ac som nu we! Kutu selos ac fah utukla nu ke nien kapir — Na pa ingan acn elos ac som nu we!
And it shall be, if they say to thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord; As many as are for death, to death; and as many as are for famine, to famine; and as many as are for the sword, to the sword; and as many as are for captivity, to captivity.
3 Nga, LEUM GOD, sulela tari ma upa akosr inge in sikyak nu selos: elos fah anwuki ke mweun; kosro ngalngul fah amakunla manolos; won ac fah kangla ikwalos, ac kosro lemnak fah kangla ma lula kac.
And I will punish them with four kinds [of death], saith the Lord, the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the wild beasts of the earth, and the birds of the sky to devour and destroy.
4 Nga fah oru mwet nukewa faclu in fwefela kaclos ke sripen ma koluk lulap Manasseh, wen natul Hezekiah, el oru in Jerusalem pacl se el tuh tokosra lun acn Judah.”
And I will deliver them up for distress to all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasses son of Ezekias king of Juda, for all that he did in Jerusalem.
5 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet Jerusalem, su ac pakomutowos, Ac su ac tungi kowos? Su ac sisla pacl la in tui Ac siyuk lah kowos fuka?
Who will spare thee, O Jerusalem? and who will fear for thee? or who will turn back [to ask] for thy welfare?
6 Kowos sisyula; Kowos totulikla likiyu. Ke ma inge nga srukak pouk ac itungkowosi Mweyen nga totola in kutong kasrkusrak luk.
Thou hast turned away from me, saith the Lord, thou wilt go back: therefore I will stretch out my hand, and will destroy thee, and will no more spare them.
7 In siti nukewa in facl se inge Nga siskowosyak nu ke eng uh, oana ke kulun wheat uh sisiyak nu ke eng uh. Nga kunauskowosla, mwet luk. Nga uniya tulik nutuwos Mweyen kowos tiana tui liki ouiyen moul koluk lowos.
And I will completely scatter them; in the gates of my people they are bereaved of children: they have destroyed my people because of their iniquities.
8 Puslana katinmas in facl suwos Liki puk wekof uh. Nga uniya mukul fusr nutuwos an ke pacl na elos sun kuiyalos, Ac oru nina kialos in keok. In kitin pacl na nga srunglulos Ke mwe akkeok ac mwe aksangeng.
Their widows have been multiplied more than the sand of the sea: I have brought young men against the mother, [even] distress at noon-day: I have suddenly cast upon her trembling and anxiety.
9 Nina se ma tulik itkosr natul misa El mulalla ac suk mongol. Kalem lun len uh yorol ekla lohsr. El mwekinla ac oela insial ke asor. Nga fah lela mwet lokoalok lowos in onelosla Su srak moul inmasrlowos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
She that bore seven is spent; her soul has fainted under trouble; her sun is gone down while it is yet noon; she is ashamed and disgraced: I will give the remnant of them to the sword before their enemies.
10 Nga mwet na supwar se! Efu ku nina kiuk el osweyula nu faclu? Mwet nukewa in mutunfacl se inge amei ac akukuin yuruk. Nga tiana sang mani nu sin mwet ma ngisreyu, ac nga tia pac ngisre mani sin mwet. Ne ouinge elos nuna selngawiyu na.
Woe is me, [my] mother! thou hast born me as some man of strife, and at variance with the whole earth; I have not helped [others], nor has any one helped me; my strength has failed among them that curse me.
11 LEUM GOD, lela selnga nukewa lalos uh in akpwayeiyuk nga fin tia kulansupwekom wo, ac nga fin tia kwafe sum ke mwet lokoalok luk in pacl elos sun ma upa ac ongoiya nu selos. (
Be it so, Lord, in their prosperity; surely I stood before thee in the time of their calamities, and in the time of their affliction, for [their] good against the enemy.
12 Wangin mwet ku in koteya osra uh, yokna osra ma tuku epang me ma karyak ke bronze.)
Will iron be known? whereas thy strength is a brazen covering.
13 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Nga fah supwala mwet lokoalok in usla mwe kasrup ac ma saok lun mwet luk, in kaelos ke koluk lalos elos oru apunla acn selos.
Yea, I will give thy treasures for a spoil as a recompence, because of all thy sins and [that] in all thy borders.
14 Nga ac oru elos in kulansupu mwet lokoalok lalos in sie facl elos tia etu kac, mweyen kasrkusrak luk oana e uh, su ac firir nwe tok.”
And I will enslave thee to thine enemies round about, in a land which thou hast not known; for a fire has been kindled out of my wrath; it shall burn upon you.
15 Na nga fahk, “LEUM GOD, kom etu. Esamyu ac kasreyu. Lela nga in foloksak nu selos su kalyeiyu. Nimet arulana mongfisrasr nu selos, pwanang elos in uniyuwi. Esam lah elos akkolukyeyu ke sripom.
O Lord, remember me, and visit me, and vindicate me before them that persecute me; do not bear long with them; know how I have met with reproach for thy sake, from those who set at nought thy words;
16 Kom kaskas nu sik, ac nga porongo kas nukewa lom. LEUM GOD Kulana, nga ma lom, ac kas lom nwakla insiuk ke engan ac insewowo.
consume them; and thy word shall be to me for the joy and gladness of my heart: for thy name has been called upon me, O Lord Almighty.
17 Nga tia wi sisla pacl luk in israsr ac pwar yurin mwet ngia. A nga mukena muta oana kom sapkin, ac sessesla ke kasrkusrak.
I have not sat in the assembly of them as they mocked, but I feared because of thy power: I sat alone, for I was filled with bitterness.
18 Efu ku nga nuna keok na? Efu ku kinet keik uh koflana unweyukla in mahla? Yah kom ac aksupwaryeyu oana soko infacl srisrik ma oan nwe mihnla?”
Why do they that grieve me prevail against me? my wound is severe; whence shall I be healed? it is indeed become to me as deceitful water, that has no faithfulness.
19 Na LEUM GOD El topukyu ouinge: “Kom fin foloko, nga ac sifil eis kom ac kom ac fah sifilpa mwet kulansap luk. Kom fin tila fahk ma wangin sripa a kom fahkak ma yohk sripa, na kom ac fah sifilpa mwet palu luk. Kom in tia som nu yurin mwet uh — lela elos in tuku nu yurum.
Therefore thus saith the Lord, If thou wilt return, then will I restore thee, and thou shalt stand before my face: and if thou wilt bring forth the precious from the worthless, thou shalt be as my mouth: and they shall return to thee; but thou shalt not return to them.
20 Nga ac orekom in oana sie pot bronze kulana nu selos. Elos ac mweun lain kom, tusruktu elos fah tia kutangkomla. Nga fah wi kom in langoekom ac molikomla.
And I will make thee to this people as a strong brazen wall; and they shall fight against thee, but they shall by no means prevail against thee;
21 Nga fah liyekomyang ac loangekom liki inpoun mwet koluk ac mwet sulallal. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
for I am with thee to save thee, and to deliver thee out of the hand of wicked [men]; and I will ransom thee out of the hand of pestilent [men].
