< Jeremiah 30 >

1 LEUM GOD, God lun Israel,
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
2 El fahk nu sik, “Simusla ma nukewa nga fahkot nu sum uh in sie book an,
“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you.
3 mweyen pacl se ac tuku ke nga ac sifil tulokonak mwet luk, mwet Israel ac mwet Judah. Nga ac folokunulosme nu in facl se ma nga tuh sang nu sin mwet matu lalos, ac elos ac fah sifilpa eisla in ma lalos ac oakwuki we. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
For behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will restore from captivity My people Israel and Judah, declares the LORD. I will restore them to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.’”
4 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet Israel ac mwet Judah,
These are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and Judah.
5 “Nga lohng pusren tung in fosrngala, Pusren sangeng, ac tia pusren misla.
Yes, this is what the LORD says: “A cry of panic is heard— a cry of terror, not of peace.
6 Na inge, tui ac nunku! Ya sie mukul ku in isus? Na efu ku nga liye mukul nukewa iseya sialos Oana sie mutan isus? Efu ku mutun mwet nukewa fasrfasrla?
Ask now, and see: Can a male give birth? Why then do I see every man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor and every face turned pale?
7 Sie len na koluk ac tuku; Wangin sie len saya ku in lumweyuk nu kac — Sie pacl in fosrnga nu sin mwet luk, Tusruktu elos ac fah moul ac tia misa.”
How awful that day will be! None will be like it! It is the time of Jacob’s distress, but he will be saved out of it.
8 LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk, “Ke len sac ac tuku, nga ac koteya mwe utuk ma oan fin kwawalos ac tulalik sein kaclos, ac elos fah tia sifilpa mwet kohs nu sin mwet in mutunfacl saya.
On that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, I will break the yoke off their necks and tear off their bonds, and no longer will strangers enslave them.
9 A elos ac fah kulansupweyu, LEUM GOD lalos, ac kulansupu sie sin fwilin tulik natul David, su nga fah akleumyalak in tokosra lalos.
Instead, they will serve the LORD their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
10 “Mwet luk, nimet sangeng; Mwet Israel, kowos in tia fosrnga. Nga ac molikowosla liki facl loessula sac, Liki acn ma kowos mwet sruoh nu we. Kowos ac foloko nu yen suwos ac muta in misla; Kowos fah okak, ac wangin mwet ac aksangengye kowos.
As for you, O Jacob My servant, do not be afraid, declares the LORD, and do not be dismayed, O Israel. For I will surely save you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their captivity! Jacob will return to quiet and ease, with no one to make him afraid.
11 Nga fah wi kowos ac molikowosla. Nga fah kunausla mutunfacl nukewa Yen nga akfahsryekowoselik nu we, Tusruktu nga fah tia kunauskowosla. Nga fah tia lela in wangin kaiyuk nu suwos, A nga fah oru kai ma fal nu suwos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
For I am with you to save you, declares the LORD. Though I will completely destroy all the nations to which I have scattered you, I will not completely destroy you. Yet I will discipline you justly, and will by no means leave you unpunished.”
12 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Kinet keiwos uh ac tia ku in mahla; Acn musalla keiwos tiana ku in wola.
For this is what the LORD says: “Your injury is incurable; your wound is grievous.
13 Wangin mwet in liyekowosyang, Wangin ono nu ke srolot keiwos uh. Wangin finsrak mu kowos ac kwela.
There is no one to plead your cause, no remedy for your sores, no recovery for you.
14 Mwet nukewa ma asruoki nu suwos meet ah, elos mulkinkowosla; Elos tia sifil nunkekowos. Nga tuh anwuk nu suwos oana sie mwet lokoalok; Kalya nu suwos uh arulana upa Mweyen pusla ma koluk lowos Ac yokna orekma sulallal lowos.
All your lovers have forgotten you; they no longer seek you, for I have struck you as an enemy would, with the discipline of someone cruel, because of your great iniquity and your numerous sins.
15 Tia sifil torkaskas ke kinet keiwos uh; Wanginna ono ac ku in unwekowosla. Nga kai kowos ouinge Mweyen pusla ma koluk lowos, Ac yokna orekma sulallal lowos.
Why do you cry out over your wound? Your pain has no cure! Because of your great iniquity and your numerous sins I have done these things to you.
16 Tusruktu inge, elos nukewa su kunauskowosla ac fah kunausyukla, Ac mwet lokoalok lowos nukewa ac fah utukla tuh elos in mwet sruoh. Elos nukewa su akkeokye kowos fah akkeokyeyuk, Ac elos nukewa su pisre ma lowos ac fah pusrla pac ma lalos.
Nevertheless, all who devour you will be devoured, and all your adversaries—every one of them— will go off into exile. Those who plundered you will be plundered, and all who raided you will be raided.
17 Nga fah oru tuh kowos in sifilpa kwela. Nga fah unwala kinet keiwos, Mwet lokoalok lowos finne fahk mu, ‘Zion el sisila, Wangin mwet nunku kacl.’ Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
But I will restore your health and heal your wounds, declares the LORD, because they call you an outcast, Zion, for whom no one cares.”
18 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga ac fah folokonma mwet luk nu in facl selos Ac fahkak pakomuta luk nu sin sou nukewa. Ac fah sifilpa musaiyuk acn Jerusalem, Ac inkul fulat lun tokosra ac fah aksasuyeyukla.
This is what the LORD says: “I will restore the fortunes of Jacob’s tents and have compassion on his dwellings. And the city will be rebuilt on her own ruins, and the palace will stand in its rightful place.
19 Mwet su muta we fah yuk on in kaksak, Ac sasa ke engan. Ke sripen nga akinsewowoyalos, elos fah puseni. Mutunfacl saya ac fah akfulatyalos, ke sripen mwe akinsewowo luk oan faclos.
Thanksgiving will proceed from them, a sound of celebration. I will multiply them, and they will not be decreased; I will honor them, and they will not be belittled.
20 Nga fah folokonak ku lun mutunfacl se inge in oana meet ah, Ac sifilpa oakiya in ku; Nga fah kaelos nukewa su akkeokyalos.
Their children will be as in days of old, and their congregation will be established before Me; and I will punish all their oppressors.
21 Tokosra lalos el fah ma na in facl selos sifacna, Mwet kol lalos el fah tuku na inmasrlolos me. LEUM GOD El fahk, Nga fah solal elan tuku nu yuruk, Ac el ac fah tuku, Tuh su ac ku in tuku fin tia solsol el?
Their leader will be one of their own, and their ruler will arise from their midst. And I will bring him near, and he will approach Me, for who would dare on his own to approach Me?”
22 Kowos fah mwet luk, Ac nga fah God lowos.”
“And you will be My people, and I will be your God.”
23 Liye, kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD oana sie paka, sie eng na upa ma ac tuhyak ac putati fin sifen mwet koluk,
Behold, the storm of the LORD has gone out with fury, a whirlwind swirling down upon the heads of the wicked.
24 na ac fah tiana tui nwe ke El orala ma nukewa ma El nunku in oru. In len fahsru, mwet lal fah kalem na pwaye ke ma inge.
The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has fully accomplished the purposes of His heart. In the days to come you will understand this.
