Jeremiah 22
1 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik nga in tufokla nu in lohm sin tokosra lun Judah, ac fahk kas inge:
This is what the LORD says: “Go down to the palace of the king of Judah and proclaim this message there,
2 “Lohng kas lun LEUM GOD, O tokosra lun Judah su muta fin tron lal David — kom, ac mwet pwapa fulat lom, ac mwet Jerusalem nukewa su ilyak ke mutunpot inge.
saying, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David—you and your officials and your people who enter these gates.
3 Nga, LEUM GOD, sapkin nu suwos in oru ma suwohs ac pwaye. Karinganang mwet ma pisreyukla ma la liki inpoun mwet pisrapasr. Nimet akkolukye ku akkeokye mwetsac, mwet mukaimtal ac katinmas, oayapa nimet uniya mwet wangin mwata in acn mutal se inge.
This is what the LORD says: Administer justice and righteousness. Rescue the victim of robbery from the hand of his oppressor. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Do not shed innocent blood in this place.
4 Kowos fin oru oana ma nga sapkin, na ac fah oasr tokosra tuku ke fwilin tulik natul David nwe tok. Elos, ac mwet fulat lalos ac mwet nukewa lalos saya, fah uti-utyak ke mutunpot lun inkul fulat ke chariot ac fin horse uh.
For if you will indeed carry out these commands, then kings who sit on David’s throne will enter through the gates of this palace riding on chariots and horses—they and their officials and their people.
5 Tusruktu kowos fin tia akos ma nga sapkin inge, na nga fulahk ke Inek sifacna lah inkul fulat se inge fah sikiyukla. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
But if you do not obey these words, then I swear by Myself, declares the LORD, that this house will become a pile of rubble.’”
6 “In nunak luk, inkul fulat sin tokosra lun Judah oasku oana acn Gilead, ac oana eol in acn Lebanon. Tusruktu nga ac oru tuh in sie acn oan musalla ma wangin mwet muta we.
For this is what the LORD says concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You are like Gilead to Me, like the summit of Lebanon; but I will surely turn you into a desert, like cities that are uninhabited.
7 Nga ac supwala mwet in kunausya. Elos ac us tuhla lalos ac pakiya sru cedar kato we, ac sisla nu in e uh.
I will appoint destroyers against you, each man with his weapons, and they will cut down the choicest of your cedars and throw them into the fire.
8 “Na toko, mwet in mutunfacl puspis fah fahsr aliki ac asiyuki sie sin sie lah efu ku nga, LEUM GOD, oru ouinge nu ke siti pwengpeng se inge.
And many nations will pass by this city and ask one another, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this great city?’
9 Na elos fah topuk mu mweyen kowos fahsr sayen wuleang lowos yurin God lowos ke kowos alu ac kulansupu god saya.”
Then people will reply, ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God and have worshiped and served other gods.’”
10 Mwet Judah, nimet tungel Tokosra Josaiah; Kowos in tia eoksra ke misa lal. A kowos in arulana tung kacl Joahas, wen natul. Elos ac usalla, ac el ac tia sifil foloko. El ac tiana sifilpa liye acn el isusla we.
Do not weep for the dead king; do not mourn his loss. Weep bitterly for the one who is exiled, for he will never return to see his native land.
11 LEUM GOD El fahk kacl Joahas su aolla Josiah, papa tumal, in tokosra Judah, “El som liki acn inge, ac el ac tiana sifil foloko.
For this is what the LORD says concerning Shallum son of Josiah, king of Judah, who succeeded his father Josiah but has gone forth from this place: “He will never return,
12 El ac misa in facl se elos usalla nu we, ac el ac tia sifil liye facl se inge.”
but he will die in the place to which he was exiled; he will never see this land again.”
13 We nu sin mwet se su musai lohm sel ke sesuwos Ac akyokye ke inkanek kutasrik, Su akkohsye mwet in facl sel in orekma nu sel Ac tia sang molin orekma lalos.
“Woe to him who builds his palace by unrighteousness, and his upper rooms without justice, who makes his countrymen serve without pay, and fails to pay their wages,
14 We nu sin mwet se ma fahk, “Nga ac musaela sie lohm lulap nu sik sifacna Ac oru tuh infukil lucng uh in yohk.” Ouinge el orala winto in lohm sel Ac sinkaeak acn loac ke sak cedar, Ac sroalela ke sroal srusra.
who says, ‘I will build myself a great palace, with spacious upper rooms.’ So he cuts windows in it, panels it with cedar, and paints it with vermilion.
15 Ya ma inge ac oru tuh kom in sie tokosra wo Kom fin musa lohm ke sak cedar Ma wo liki lohm sin mwet ngia? Papa tomom el insewowo ke moul lal nufon. Orekma lal pwaye ac suwohs pacl nukewa, Ac el kapkapak in ma nukewa el orala.
Does it make you a king to excel in cedar? Did not your father have food and drink? He administered justice and righteousness, and so it went well with him.
16 El oru nununku suwohs nu sin mwet sukasrup, Na ma nukewa fahsr pac wo nu sel. Pa inge kalmen etu ke LEUM GOD.
He took up the cause of the poor and needy, and so it went well with him. Is this not what it means to know Me?” declares the LORD.
17 A kom sukna ma ac wo nu sum sifacna; Kom uniya mwet wangin mwata Ac arulana aklalfonye mwet lom. LEUM GOD pa fahk ma inge.
“But your eyes and heart are set on nothing except your own dishonest gain, on shedding innocent blood, on practicing extortion and oppression.”
18 Ouinge LEUM GOD El fahk kacl Tokosra Jehoiakim lun Judah, wen natul Josiah, “Wangin mwet ac fah mwemelil ke misa lal, ku fahk mu, ‘Pakomuta kawuk se luk! Fuka koluk in mau!’ Wangin mwet ac fah wowoyak ac tung kacl ac fahk, ‘Leum luk, We! Tokosra, We!’
Therefore this is what the LORD says concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: “They will not mourn for him: ‘Alas, my brother! Alas, my sister!’ They will not mourn for him: ‘Alas, my master! Alas, his splendor!’
19 Ac fah orek nu sel oana misa lun soko donkey: Ac fah amala el Ac sisila likin mutunpot Jerusalem.”
He will be buried like a donkey, dragged away and thrown outside the gates of Jerusalem.
20 Mwet Jerusalem, fahla nu Lebanon ac wowoyak, Fahla nu facl Bashan ac tung; Som ac wowoyak infulan eol Moab, Mweyen kutangyukla mutunfacl nukewa su kasrekom ke pacl in mweun.
Go up to Lebanon and cry out; raise your voice in Bashan; cry out from Abarim, for all your lovers have been crushed.
21 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sum ke pacl kom srak mut, A kom tia lungse porongo. Pa ingan ouiyom in moul lom nufon — Kom tiana akos LEUM GOD.
I warned you when you were secure. You said, ‘I will not listen.’ This has been your way from youth, that you have not obeyed My voice.
22 Mwet kol lom ac fah ukukla ke eng; Mwet kasrekom in pacl in mweun ac utukla nu in sruoh. Siti sum ac fah aklusrongtenyeyuk ac akmwekinyeyuk Ke sripen ma koluk nukewa kom orala.
The wind will drive away all your shepherds, and your lovers will go into captivity. Then you will be ashamed and humiliated because of all your wickedness.
23 Kom mongla wo in lohm sum orekla ke sak cedar ma utuku Lebanon me; Tusruktu ac fah mwe pakomuta na yohk nu sum ke pacl se ngal upa ac sun kom — Ngal oana ngal lun sie mutan isus.
O inhabitant of Lebanon, nestled in the cedars, how you will groan when pangs of anguish come upon you, agony like a woman in labor.”
24 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Tokosra Jehoiachin, wen natul Tokosra Jehoiakim lun Judah, “Oana ke nga pa God moul, fin kom pa ring lun tokosra ma oan lac po layot sik, nga ac faiskomla
“As surely as I live,” declares the LORD, “even if you, Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, were a signet ring on My right hand, I would pull you off.
25 ac eiskomyang nu sin mwet ma lungse unikomi, su kom sangeng se. Nga ac eiskomyang nu sel Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia ac un mwet mweun lal.
In fact, I will hand you over to those you dread, who want to take your life—to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and to the Chaldeans.
26 Nga ac liskomla ac nina kiom ke ku luk tuh komtal in mwet sruoh in sie facl ma komtal kewa tia isusla we, ac komtal ac fah misa we.
I will hurl you and the mother who gave you birth into another land, where neither of you were born—and there you both will die.
27 Komtal ac fah kena sifilpa liye facl se inge, tusruktu komtal ac fah tiana foloko.”
You will never return to the land for which you long.”
28 Ac nga fahk, “Ya Tokosra Jehoiachin el oana soko sufa fokelik ma sisila ac wangin mwet enenu? Na efu ku el, ac tulik natul, utukla nu in sruoh nu ke sie facl ma elos tiana etu?”
Is this man Coniah a despised and shattered pot, a jar that no one wants? Why are he and his descendants hurled out and cast into a land they do not know?
29 O fahl Judah, fahl Judah, fahl Judah! Porongo ma LEUM GOD El fahk:
O land, land, land, hear the word of the LORD!
30 “Filiya ke ma simusla lah ac fah wangin tulik natul Jehoiachin. Ac fah wangin ma wo el orala in pacl lal. Wangin sin fwilin tulik natul Ac fah aolulla ke tron lal David In leum fin acn Judah. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
This is what the LORD says: “Enroll this man as childless, a man who will not prosper in his lifetime. None of his descendants will prosper to sit on the throne of David or to rule again in Judah.”
