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.

Then said the LORD unto me: 'Though Moses and Samuel stood before Me, yet My mind could not be toward this people; cast them out of My sight, 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 come to pass, when they say unto thee: Whither shall we go forth? then thou shall tell them: Thus saith the LORD: Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such 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 appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to drag, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and to 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 cause them to be a horror among all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which 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?

For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? Or who shall bemoan thee? Or who shall turn aside to ask of 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 cast Me off, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward; Therefore do I stretch out My hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.

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 fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I bereave them of children, I destroy My people, since they return not from their ways.

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 are increased to Me above the sand of the seas; I bring upon them, against the mother, a chosen one, even a spoiler at noonday; I cause anguish and terrors to fall upon her suddenly.

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 hath borne seven languisheth; her spirit droopeth; her sun is gone down while it was yet day, she is ashamed and confounded; and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.'

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, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have not lent, neither have men lent to me; yet every one of them doth 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. (

The LORD said: 'Verily I will release thee for good; verily I will cause the enemy to make supplication unto thee in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.

12 Wangin mwet ku in koteya osra uh, yokna osra ma tuku epang me ma karyak ke bronze.)

Can iron break iron from the north and brass?

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.

Thy substance and thy treasures will I give for a spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even 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 make thee to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not; for a fire is kindled in My nostril, which 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.

Thou, O LORD, knowest; Remember me, and think of me, and avenge me of my persecutors; take me not away because of Thy long-suffering; know that for Thy sake I have suffered taunts.

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.

Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and Thy words were unto me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart; because Thy name was called on me, O LORD God of hosts.

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 sat not in the assembly of them that make merry, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of Thy hand; for Thou hast filled me with indignation.

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 is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, so that it refuseth to be healed? Wilt Thou indeed be unto me as a deceitful brook, as waters that fail?

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 return, and I bring thee back, thou shalt stand before Me; and if thou bring forth the precious out of the vile, thou shalt be as My mouth; let them return unto thee, but thou shalt not return unto 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 unto this people a fortified brazen wall; and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.

21 Nga fah liyekomyang ac loangekom liki inpoun mwet koluk ac mwet sulallal. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”

And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.
