< Jeremiah 3 >
1 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mukul se fin sisla mutan kial, ac mutan sac som ac payuk sin sie pac mukul, mukul se meet ah tia ku in sifil eis mutan sac, mweyen ac tuh arulana akfohkfokyela acn uh. Tusruktu, Israel, pukanten na mwet kom pwar se, ac inge kom lungse foloko nu yuruk!
They say, If a man put away his wife, and she goe from him, and become another mans, shall hee returne againe vnto her? shall not this land be polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many louers: yet turne againe to mee, sayeth the Lord.
2 Ngetak nu yen turangang fin inging uh. Ya oasr acn kom tia kukakin monum we? Kom mutana soano mwet kom pwar se pe inkanek, oana sie mwet Arab el mutana yen mwesis soano sie mwet in fahsryak elan ku in oru inkanek in sulallal nu sel. Moul in kosro lom uh akfohkfokyela acn uh.
Lift vp thine eyes vnto the hie places, and beholde, where thou hast not plaied the harlot: thou hast sit waiting for them in the waies, as the Arabian in the wildernesse: and thou hast polluted the lande with thy whoredomes, and with thy malice.
3 Pa oru af uh tui, ac wangin pac af ke pacl in taknelik. Ngetnget lom an oapana ngetnget lun sie mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lal, ac kom tiana mwekin.
Therefore the showres haue beene restrained, and the latter raine came not, and thou haddest a whores forehead: thou wouldest not bee ashamed.
4 “Ac inge kom fahk nu sik, ‘Kom pa papa tumuk, ac kom nuna lungsena nga e ke nga srikyak.
Diddest thou not stil crie vnto me, Thou art my father, and the guide of my youth?
5 Kom ac tia kasrkukrak pacl nukewa. Kom ac tia mulat sik nwe tok.’ Israel, kom fahk ouingan, a kom nuna oru na ma koluk pacl nukewa.”
Wil he keepe his anger for euer? will he reserue it to the ende? thus hast thou spoken, but thou doest euill, euen more and more.
6 Ke pacl se Josiah el tuh tokosra, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Ya kom liye ma koluk Israel el oru? El forla likiyu oana sie mutan su tia pwaye nu sin mukul tumal. Fin inging nukewa ac ye sak folfol nukewa el oru oana sie mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lal.
The Lord saide also vnto me, in the daies of Iosiah the King, Hast thou seene what this rebell Israel hath done? for she hath gone vp vpon euery high mountaine, and vnder euery greene tree, and there plaied the harlot.
7 Nga tuh nunku mu tukun el oru ma inge nukewa, el ac foloko nu yuruk. Tuh pa el tiana foloko. Na Judah, tamtael se wial su tia pac pwaye nu sin mukul tumal, el liye ma inge nukewa.
And I sayde, when shee had done all this, Turne thou vnto me: but she returned not, as her rebellious sister Iudah sawe.
8 Judah el liye pac lah nga Israel fahsrelik, ac nga supwalla mweyen el forla likiyu ac mutawauk in sie mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lal. Tusruktu Judah, tamtael kutasrik se wial Israel, tiana sangeng. El oayapa mutawauk in moul oana sie mutan kosro,
When I sawe, howe that by all occasions rebellious Israel had plaied the harlot, I cast her away, and gaue her a bill of diuorcement: yet her rebellious sister Iudah was not afraied, but shee went also, and plaied the harlot.
9 ac tia pacna mwekin kutu srisrik. El akfohkfokyela acn uh, ac orek kosro ke el alu nu ke eot ac sak.
So that for the lightnesse of her whoredome shee hath euen defiled the lande: for shee hath committed fornication with stones and stockes.
10 Tukun ma inge nukewa, Judah, tamtael kutasrik se wial Israel, el orek fwacfa mu el foloko nu yuruk, sruhk tia pwaye insial. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
Neuerthelesse for all this, her rebellious sister Iudah hath not returned vnto mee with her whole heart, but fainedly, sayth the Lord.
11 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik lah Israel el finne forla lukel, pwayeiya uh el wo lukel Judah, su kutasrik.
And the Lord said vnto me, The rebellious Israel hath iustified her selfe more then the rebellious Iudah.
12 El fahk nu sik in som ac fahkak kas inge nu epang, “Israel, sifilpa foloko nu yuruk, kom finne tia pwaye nu sik. Nga pakoten ac nga fah tia kasrkusrak. Nga ac fah tia sruokya mulat luk nwe tok.
Goe and crie these woordes towarde the North and say, Thou disobedient Israel, returne, sayeth the Lord, and I will not let my wrath fall vpon you: for I am mercifull, sayeth the Lord, and I will not alway keepe mine anger.
13 Ma sefanna, kom in fahkak lah oasr ma koluk lom ke kom lain LEUM GOD lom. Fahkak lah ye sak folfol nukewa kom sang lungse lom nu sin god lun mutunfacl saya, ac lah kom tia akos ma sap luk. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
But knowe thine iniquitie: for thou hast rebelled against the Lord thy God, and hast scattered thy waies to the straunge gods vnder euery greene tree, but yee woulde not obey my voyce, sayeth the Lord.
14 “Foloko, kowos su tia pwaye nu sik. Kowos ma luk. Nga ac eis sie suwos liki kais sie siti srisrik, ac luo suwos liki kais sie sruf, ac nga fah folokinkowosme nu Fineol Zion.
O yee disobedient children, turne againe, sayeth the Lord, for I am your Lord, and I will take you one of a citie, and two of a tribe and wil bring you to Zion,
15 Nga fah sot nu suwos mwet kol su akosyu, ac elos fah kol kowos ke lalmwetmet ac etauk.
And I will giue you pastours according to mine heart, which shall feede you with knowledge and vnderstanding.
16 Na ke kowos ac puseni in facl sac, mwet uh fah tia sifil kaskas ke Tuptup in Wuleang luk. Elos fah tia sifil nunku kac ku esam. Elos ac tia pac enenu, ku nunku in orala pac sie.
Moreouer, when yee be increased and multiplied in the land, in those daies, saieth the Lord, they shall say no more, The Arke of the couenant of the Lord: for it shall come no more to minde, neither shall they remember it, neither shall they visite it, for that shalbe no more done.
17 In pacl sac, Jerusalem ac fah pangpang ‘Tron Lun LEUM GOD,’ ac mutunfacl nukewa fah tukeni we in alu nu sik. Elos fah tia sifilpa fahsr tukun inse likkeke ac koluk lalos.
At that time they shall cal Ierusalem, The throne of the Lord, and all the nations shall be gathered vnto it, euen to the Name of the Lord in Ierusalem: and thence foorth they shall follow no more the hardnesse of their wicked heart.
18 Mwet Israel ac mwet Judah ac fah tukeni foloko liki sruoh lalos in acn epang, ac sifil foloko nu ke facl se nga tuh sang nu sin papa matu tomowos tuh in mwe usru lalos nwe tok.”
In those daies ye house of Iudah shall walke with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the lande of the North, into the lande, that I haue giuen for an inheritance vnto your fathers.
19 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Israel, nga kena eis kowos oana tulik nutik Ac asot nu suwos sie facl insewowo, Su sie mwe usru wolana inmasrlon mutunfacl nukewa. Nga kena kowos in pangonyu papa, Ac tia sifil forla likiyu.
But I sayde, Howe did I take thee for children and giue thee a pleasant lande, euen the glorious heritage of the armies of the heathen, and saide, Thou shalt call mee, saying, My father, and shalt not turne from me?
20 Tusruktu kowos tiana pwaye nu sik, Oana sie mutan su tia pwaye nu sin mukul tumal. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
But as a woman rebelleth against her husband: so haue yee rebelled against me, O house of Israel, sayeth the Lord.
21 Sie pusra lohngyuk yen turangang fin inging uh: Pusren tung ac kwafe lun mwet Israel Mweyen elos moulkin moul koluk, Ac mulkunla LEUM GOD lalos.
A voice was heard vpon the hie places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they haue peruerted their way, and forgotten the Lord their God.
22 Foloko, kowos nukewa su forla liki LEUM GOD. Nga fah unwe kowos ac oru kowos in pwayena nu sik. Kowos fahk, “Aok, kut tuku nu yurum, mweyen kom LEUM GOD lasr.
O yee disobedient children, returne and I wil heale your rebellions. Behold, we come vnto thee, for thou art the Lord our God.
23 Wanginna kasreyasr ke kut alu nu sin god lun mwet pegan fin mangon inging uh. Kasru nu sin Israel tuku sin LEUM GOD lasr mukena.
Truely the hope of the hilles is but vaine, nor the multitude of mountaines: but in the Lord our God is the health of Israel.
24 Tusruktu ke kut alu nu sel Baal, god lun mwekin, wanginla ma nukewa mwet matu lasr tuh kemkatu kac in pacl meet ah — un sheep ac un cow, oayapa tulik mukul ac tulik mutan.
For confusion hath deuoured our fathers labour, from our youth their sheepe and their bullocks, their sonnes and their daughters.
25 Lela kut in oan in mwekin lasr, ac lela mwe mwekin lasr in afinkuti. Kut, ac mwet matu lasr, orekma koluk pacl nukewa lain LEUM GOD lasr. Kut tiana akos ma sap lal.”
Wee lie downe in our confusion, and our shame couereth vs: for we haue sinned against the Lord our God, we and our fathers from our youth, euen vnto this day, and haue not obeyed the voyce of the Lord our God.
