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 Jehovah saith unto me: Though Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My soul is not toward this people, Send from before My face, and they go out.

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 hath come to pass, when they say to thee, Whither do we go out? that thou hast said unto them, Thus said Jehovah: Those who [are] for death — to death, And those who are for the sword, to the sword, And those who are for famine, to famine, And those who 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 have appointed over them four kinds, an affirmation of Jehovah, The sword to slay, and the dogs to drag, And the fowl of the heavens, And the beast of the earth, to consume and to devour.

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 have given them for a trembling To all kingdoms of the earth, Because of Manasseh 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 hath pity on thee, O Jerusalem? And who doth bemoan for thee? And who turneth 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 — thou hast left Me — an affirmation of Jehovah, Backward thou goest, And I stretch out My hand against thee, And I destroy thee, I have been weary of 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 scatter them with a fan, in the gates the land, I bereaved, I have destroyed My people, From their ways they turned not back.

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.

Its widows have been more to Me than the sand of the seas, I brought in to them — against the mother — A young man — a spoiler — at noon. I caused to fall upon her suddenly, wrath and trouble.

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.”

Languished hath the bearer of seven, She hath breathed out her spirit, Gone in hath her sun while yet day, It hath been ashamed and confounded, And their residue to the sword I give up before their enemies, An affirmation of Jehovah.

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 to me, my mother, For thou hast borne me a man of strife, And a man of contention to all the land, I have not lent on usury, Nor have they lent on usury to me — All of them are reviling 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. (

Jehovah said, Did I not direct thee for good? Did not I intercede for thee in a time of evil, And in a time of adversity, with the enemy?

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

Doth one break iron — northern iron, 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 strength and thy treasures For a prey I do give — not for price, Even for all thy sins, and 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 have caused thine enemies To pass over into the land — Thou hast not known, For a fire hath been kindled in Mine anger, Against you it doth burn.

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, Thou hast known, O Jehovah, Remember me, and inspect me, And take vengeance for me of my pursuers, In Thy long-suffering take me not away, Know — I have borne for Thee reproach.

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 have been found, and I eat them, And Thy word is to me for a joy, And for the rejoicing of my heart, For Thy name is called on me, O Jehovah, 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 have not sat in an assembly of deriders, Nor do I exult, because of thy hand, — Alone I have sat, For [with] indignation Thou hast filled me.

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 hath my pain been perpetual? And my wound incurable? It hath refused to be healed, Thou art surely to me as a failing stream, Waters not stedfast.

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 said Jehovah: If thou turnest back, then I bring thee back, Before Me thou dost stand, And if thou bringest out the precious from the vile, As My mouth thou art! They — they turn back unto thee, And thou dost not turn back 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 have made thee to this people For a wall — brazen — fenced, And they have fought against thee, And they do not prevail against thee, For with thee [am] I to save thee, And to deliver thee — an affirmation of Jehovah,

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

And I have delivered thee from the hand of evil doers, And I have ransomed thee From the hand of the terrible!
