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
But when Pashchur the son of Immer the priest, who was chief superintendent in the house of the Lord, heard Jeremiah prophesying these words:
2 el sap in sringsring nga ac kapiri ke mwe kapir apkuran nu ke Mutunpot Benjamin, ma oan lucng ke Tempul.
Then smote Pashchur Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of the Lord.
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 Pashchur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. And Jeremiah said unto him, Not Pashchur [Fulness of Freedom] hath the Lord called thy name, but Magor-missabib [[Terror all around]].
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 hath said the Lord, 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 thy eyes shall see it; and all Judah will I give into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall lead them into exile to Babylon, and shall smite 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.
And I will give up all the wealth of this city, and all its acquisitions, and all its precious things; and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, who shall plunder them, and take them and carry them away 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, Pashchur, and all the inhabitants of thy house, shall go into captivity; and to Babylon shalt thou come, and there thou shalt die, and there shalt thou be buried, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied with falsehood.
7 LEUM GOD, kom kifasla insiuk Na nga tari wikomla. Kom ku likiyu, Ac kom kutangyula. Mwet nukewa aksruksrukyeyu. Elos tia tui in isrunyu.
Thou didst persuade me, O Lord, and I was persuaded; thou laidst thy [hand] strongly on me, and didst prevail: I am laughed at all the time, 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 must I cry out, violence and wasting must I proclaim; because the word of the Lord is become unto me a disgrace, and a derision, all the time.
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 I thought, I will not make mention of him, and I will not speak any more in his name. But it became in my heart as a burning fire enclosed within my bones, and I was weary with enduring, and I could not overcome it.
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 heard the defaming of many, angry assemblies on every side, “Tell, and we will tell of him.” All the men who ought to seek my welfare, watch for my fall; saying, “Peradventure he may he enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we will then 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 the Lord is with me as a mighty powerful one; therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they will not prevail: they will be greatly ashamed, for they will not prosper; [it is] an everlasting confusion which will 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 Lord of hosts, that probest the righteous, seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them; for unto thee have I laid open my cause.
13 On nu sin LEUM GOD! Kaksakin LEUM GOD! El molela mwet su akkeokyeyuk liki ku lun mwet koluk.
Sing unto the Lord, praise ye the Lord; 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 whereon I was born: the day on which my mother bore me shall not 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. How very glad did he make him!
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 may that same man become like the cities which the Lord overthrew, and bethought himself not; and may he hear a cry of anguish in the morning, and a tumultuous noise at noontide;
17 Mweyen el tia uniyuwi meet liki nga isusla, Na insien nina kiuk lukun pa kulyuk luk.
Because I was not slain [as I escaped] from the womb; or that my mother might have become unto me my grave, and her womb have been affected with a perpetual pregnancy.
18 Efu ku nga isusla? Ya ngan tuh sun mwe lokoalok ac mwe asor, Ac in aksafyela moul luk ke mwekin?
Wherefore was this that I came forth out of the womb to see trouble and sorrow, that my days should pass away in shame?
