Jeremiah 17
1 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet Judah, ma koluk lowos simla ke pen osra soko. Kihlisyukyak insiowos ke mutun pin diamond soko, ac kihlyak ke sruwasrik in loang lowos.
The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, With the point of a diamond is it engraved Upon the tablet of their hearts, Upon the horns of their altars.
2 Mwet lowos uh alu ke loang uh ac ke lumah ma tulokyak nu sin god mutan Asherah, ye sak folfol nukewa ac fin tohktok uh,
While their children remember the altars, and the images of Astarte, Near the green trees, And upon the high hills.
3 ac yen turangang fineol uh. Nga fah lela mwet lokoalok lowos in usla mwe kasrup ac ma saok lowos ke sripen ma koluk lowos nukewa ma kowos orala in acn suwos.
My mountain in the field! thy substance and all thy treasures will I give up for spoil; Thy high places for sin in all thy borders.
4 Kowos fah enenu in fuhleak facl se ma nga sot nu suwos, ac nga fah oru tuh kowos in orekma nu sin mwet lokoalok lowos in sie facl ma wangin etu lowos kac, mweyen kasrkusrak luk oana sie e ma ac firir nwe tok.”
Thou shalt of thyself cease to possess the inheritance which I gave thee, And I will cause thee to serve thy enemies in a land which thou knowest not; For ye have kindled a fire in my anger, Which shall burn forever.
5 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah selngawi mwet se Su forla likiyu Ac filiya lulalfongi lal sin mwet, Ac lulalfongi ku lun mwet sukawil moul la.
Thus saith Jehovah: Cursed be the man who trusteth in man, And maketh flesh his arm, And whose heart departeth from Jehovah!
6 El oana soko mahsrik in acn mwesis Ma kapak in acn pao, yen wangin ma oan we, Fin acn kifintela, yen wangin pac ma ku in kapak we. Wangin ma wo ku in sonol.
He shall be like a poor wanderer in the desert, Who seeth not when good cometh, But dwelleth in the parched places of the desert, In a salt land, and uninhabited.
7 “Tusruktu nga ac fah akinsewowoye mwet se Su filiya lulalfongi lal in nga.
Blessed is the man who trusteth in Jehovah; Who in Jehovah placeth his hope!
8 El oana soko sak ma kap sisken soko infacl srisrik Ac kapla okahl nwe ke sun kof uh. Wangin sangeng lal ke pacl fol Mweyen sroan sak uh folfolna. El tia fosrnga finne wangin af. Pacl nukewa oasr fahko kacl.
He shall be like a tree planted by the water-side, That spreadeth out her roots by the stream, That feeleth not when the heat cometh, But whose leaf is green; That careth not in the year of drought, Nor ceaseth from yielding fruit.
9 “Su ku in etu ma oan insien mwet? Wangin ma kutasrik oana nunak lun mwet — Sie ma su tia ku in akkeyeyukla.
The heart is deceitful above all things; Yea, it is corrupt; who can know it?
10 Nga, LEUM GOD, iluhs nunak lun mwet, Ac srike insialos. Nga oru nu sin kais sie mwet fal nu ke ouiyen moul lal, Ac fal nu ke orekma lal.”
I, Jehovah, search the heart, And try the reins, To give to every man according to his ways, And according to the fruit of his doings.
11 Mwet se su eis mani lal ke sesuwos El oana sie won ma sawulla atro ma tia ma natul. Ke mwet sac el sun kuiyal, na mwe kasrup lal ac wanginla, Ac saflaiyal el fah sie mwet lalfon.
As the partridge sitteth on eggs which she hath not laid, So is he that getteth riches, and not by right; In the midst of his days shall he leave them, And in his latter end find himself a fool.
12 Tempul sesr oana sie tron oaskulana, Musaiyukyak fin soko eol fulat ke mutawauk ah me.
A glorious, lofty throne from the beginning Hath been the place of our sanctuary.
13 LEUM GOD, kom mwe finsrak lun Israel. Elos nukewa su siskomla ac fah akmwekinyeyuk. Elos ac fah wanginla oana inen mwet ma simla fin fohk uh, Mweyen elos siskomla, LEUM GOD, Su oana unon in kof se.
O thou hope of Israel, Jehovah! All that forsake thee shall be put to shame; Yea, all that depart from me shall be written in dust, Because they have forsaken the fountain of living water, they have forsaken Jehovah.
14 LEUM GOD, akkeyeyula ac nga fah kwela na pwaye. Langoeyula ac nga fah moulla. Kom na pa nga kaksakin uh!
Heal me, O Jehovah, and I shall be healed; Save me, and I shall be saved; For thou art my praise!
15 Mwet uh fahk nu sik, “Pia ma LEUM GOD El fahk mu El ac oru nu sesr ah? Lela Elan orala ingena!”
Behold, they say to me, “Where is the word of Jehovah? Let it come to pass!”
16 Tusruktu, LEUM GOD, nga tiana kwafe sum in kunauselosla. Nga tiana ke in oasr pacl se koluk nu selos. LEUM GOD, kom etu ma inge. Kom etu ma nga tuh fahk ah.
I have not refused to follow thee, as thy shepherd, Neither have I desired the day of woe, as thou knowest! That which came from my lips hath been before thine eyes.
17 Nimet kom oana sie mwe aksangeng nu sik. Kom pa nien molela luk ke pacl koluk sikyak.
Be not thou a terror to me, Thou, my refuge in the day of distress! Let my persecutors be confounded, but let not me be confounded!
18 LEUM GOD, akmwekinyalos su kalyeiyu, tusruktu nimet akmwekinyeyu. Nwakulosla ke mwe aksangeng, ac nikmet akfosrngayeyu. Akyokye mwe ongoiya nu faclos ac kunauselosla nu ke ip srisrik.
Let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed! Bring upon them the day of calamity, And destroy them with double destruction!
19 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Jeremiah, fahla nu ke Mutunpot lun Mwet uh, yen ma tokosra lun Judah elos uti-utyak nu in siti uh, ac sulkakin kas luk inge we. Toko kom fah som nu ke mutunpot nukewa saya lun Jerusalem.
Thus said Jehovah to me: Go and stand in the people's gate, Through which the kings of Judah come in and go out, And in all the gates of Jerusalem,
20 Fahk nu sin tokosra ac mwet Judah nukewa, ac elos nukewa su muta Jerusalem ac orekmakin mutunpot inge, in porongo ma nga fahk uh.
And say to them, Hear the word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, All Judah, and all ye who dwell at Jerusalem, Who enter in through these gates!
21 Fahk nu selos lah elos fin seko moul lalos, elos in tia lippise kutena ma toasr ke len Sabbath. Elos in tia us kutena ma toasr utyak ke mutunpot lun Jerusalem,
Thus saith Jehovah: Take heed to yourselves, And carry no burden on the sabbath-day, And bring none through the gates of Jerusalem.
22 ku us kutena ma toasr illa liki lohm selos ke len Sabbath. Elos in tiana orekma ke len Sabbath. Elos in akfulatye oana sie len mutal, oana ke nga tuh sapkin nu sin mwet matu lalos.
Bear no burden from your houses on the sabbath-day, And do no kind of work; But keep ye holy the sabbath-day, As I commanded your fathers.
23 Mwet matu lalos ah tuh tiana porongeyu ku akosyu. A ma elos oru pa elos likkekeiyu na ac tia lohma nu ke kas in luti luk.
But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, But made their necks stiff, and refused to hear, And refused to receive instruction.
24 “Fahk nu sin mwet inge lah elos enenu na in akos ma sap luk nukewa. Elos in tiana us kutena ma toasr fahsr ke mutunpot in siti se inge ke len Sabbath. Elos enenu in akmutalye len Sabbath ac tia oru kutena orekma.
If ye will now diligently hearken to me, saith Jehovah, And bring no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath-day, But keep holy the sabbath-day, Doing no work therein,
25 Na tokosra lalos, ac fisrak lalos, fah ilyak ke mutunpot lun Jerusalem ac eis pacna ku fulat se ma tuh oan facl David. Elos fah wi na mwet Judah ac mwet Jerusalem kasrusr fin chariot ac fin horse, ac siti Jerusalem fah sessesla ke mwet pacl nukewa.
Then shall enter the gates of this city kings and princes, Who sit upon the throne of David, Riding in chariots and on horses, They and their chieftains, The men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; And this city shall be inhabited forever.
26 Mwet uh ac fah tuku liki siti srisrik lun Judah ac liki inkul ma raunela Jerusalem. Elos fah tuku liki facl lun Benjamin, liki pe eol uh, fineol uh, ac liki layen eir in Judah. Elos fah us nu in Tempul sik mwe kisa firir, ac kisakin mwe kisa wheat ac mwe keng, oayapa mwe kisa in sang kulo.
Then from the cities of Judah, and the places around Jerusalem, From the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, From the mountains, and from the South, Shall they come bringing burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, And flour-offerings, and incense, And bringing thank-offerings to the house of Jehovah.
27 Tusruktu elos enenu in akosyu ac karinganang len Sabbath tuh in sie len mutal. Elos in tia us kutena ma toasr fahsr ke mutunpot Jerusalem ke len sac, mweyen elos fin oru, nga ac esukak mutunpot Jerusalem. E uh ac fah furreak lohm sin tokosra Jerusalem, ac wangin mwet fah ku in konela.”
But if ye will not hearken to me, To keep holy the sabbath-day, And to carry no burden through the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath-day, Then will I kindle in her gates an unquenchable fire, Which shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
