Jeremiah 20
1 Pashhur, wen natul Immer, el sie mwet tol su sifen mwet liyaung inkul in Tempul. Ke el lohng ke nga fahkak ma inge
Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in the house of Jehovah, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.
2 el sap in sringsring nga ac kapiri ke mwe kapir apkuran nu ke Mutunpot Benjamin, ma oan lucng ke Tempul.
Then Pashhur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of Jehovah.
3 Lotutang tok ah, tukun Pashhur el tuleyula liki mwe kapir, nga fahk nu sel, “LEUM GOD El fahk mu ac tia sifil pangpang kom Pashhur, a ac fah pangpang kom ‘Sangeng Yen Nukewa.’
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, Jehovah hath not called thy name Pashhur, but Magor-missabib.
4 LEUM GOD El sifacna fahk mu, ‘Nga ac fah oru kom in sie mwe aksangeng nu sum sifacna ac nu sin mwet kawuk lom, ac kom ac fah liye ke elos nukewa anwuki ke cutlass nutin mwet lokoalok lalos. Nga ac fah filiya mwet Judah nukewa ye ku lun tokosra Babylonia. El ac fah usla kutu selos in mwet kapir nu in facl sel, ac uniya mwet lula.
For thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it; and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword.
5 Nga fah oayapa lela mwet lokoalok lalos in usla mwe kasrup nukewa in siti se inge, ac sruokya ma lalos nukewa oayapa acn selos, wi pac ma saok lun tokosra Judah, ac usla ma nukewa nu Babylonia.
Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all the gains thereof, and all the precious things thereof, yea, all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies; and they shall make them a prey, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.
6 A funu kom, Pashhur, kom ac sou lom nukewa fah oayapa sruoh ac utukla nu Babylonia. Kom ac fah misa ac pukpuki we, wi mwet kawuk lom nukewa su kom fahk kas kikiap puspis nu se.’”
And thou, Pashhur, and all that dwell in thy house shall go into captivity; and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and there shalt thou be buried, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied falsely.
7 LEUM GOD, kom kifasla insiuk Na nga tari wikomla. Kom ku likiyu, Ac kom kutangyula. Mwet nukewa aksruksrukyeyu. Elos tia tui in isrunyu.
O Jehovah, thou hast persuaded me, and I was persuaded; thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am become a laughing-stock all the day, every one mocketh me.
8 Pacl nukewa nga kaskas uh, yokla pusrek, Ac nga wowoyak ac fahk, “Yokna sulallal ac kunausten!” LEUM GOD, aksruksrukyeyuk nga ac angonyuk nga pacl nukewa Mweyen nga sulkakin kas lom.
For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, Violence and destruction! because the word of Jehovah is made a reproach unto me, and a derision, all the day.
9 A nga fin fahk mu, “Nga ac fah mulkunla LEUM GOD Ac tia sifilpa kaskas ke Inel,” Na kas lom uh oana sie e in nga Ma firir in sri keik uh. Nga srike kuiyuk in sruokyana, Tusruktu nga tia ku in kutongya.
And if I say, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with forbearing, and I cannot [contain].
10 Nga lohng ke mwet nukewa mahmah mu, “Mwe aksangeng oasr yen nukewa! Lela kut in tukakunulak nu sin mwet fulat lasr!” Finne kawuk fototo luk elos soano nga in ikori. Elos fahk mu, “Sahp kut ac ku in kiapwella, Na kut fah sruokilya ac oru foloksak lasr nu sel.”
For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side. Denounce, and we will denounce him, [say] all my familiar friends, they that watch for my fall; peradventure he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.
11 Tusruktu, LEUM GOD, kom wiyu lac, ac kom kulana, Elos su kalyeiyu tia ku in kutangyula. Elos fah akmwekinyeyuk nwe tok, Mweyen elos tia ku in sun finsrak lalos. Mwekin lalos ac fah tiana mulkinyukla.
But Jehovah is with me as a mighty one [and] a terrible: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail; they shall be utterly put to shame, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which shall never be forgotten.
12 Tusruktu, LEUM GOD Kulana, kom srike mwet uh ke suwohs; Kom etu nunak lalos ac ma oan insialos. Ke ma inge lela nu sik in liye ke kom ac foloksak nu sin mwet lokoalok luk, Tuh nga likiya sripa nukewa luk inpoum.
But, O Jehovah of hosts, that triest the righteous, that seest the heart and the mind, let me see thy vengeance on them; for unto thee have I revealed my cause.
13 On nu sin LEUM GOD! Kaksakin LEUM GOD! El molela mwet su akkeokyeyuk liki ku lun mwet koluk.
Sing unto Jehovah, praise ye Jehovah; for he hath delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evil-doers.
14 Selngawiya len se nga isusla! Mulkunla len se nina kiuk el osweyula!
Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.
15 Selngawiya mwet se su akenganye papa tumuk Ke el us pweng wo se nu sel ac fahk, “Tulik mukul se pa nutum!”
Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man-child is born unto thee; making him very glad.
16 Lela elan oana siti nukewa Ma LEUM GOD El kunausla ac wangin pakomuta lal. Lela elan lohng tung in mwaiok ke lotutang, Ac sulkakinyen mweun ke infulwen len,
And let that man be as the cities which Jehovah overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime;
17 Mweyen el tia uniyuwi meet liki nga isusla, Na insien nina kiuk lukun pa kulyuk luk.
because he slew me not from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.
18 Efu ku nga isusla? Ya ngan tuh sun mwe lokoalok ac mwe asor, Ac in aksafyela moul luk ke mwekin?
Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
