Jeremiah 31
1 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Pacl se ac tuku ke nga ac fah God lun sruf nukewa lun Israel, ac elos ac fah mwet luk.
At that time, saith Jehovah, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, And they shall be my people.
2 In acn mwesis nga tuh akkalemye pakomuta luk nu selos su painmoulla. Ke pacl se mwet Israel elos kena mongla,
Thus saith Jehovah: The people, escaped from the sword, hath found favor in the wilderness; I will go and give rest to Israel.
3 nga sikyang nu selos liki acn loessula. Mwet Israel, nga nuna lungse kowos oemeet me, ouinge nga srakna fahkak lungse kawil luk nu suwos.
Jehovah appeared to me from afar, [[saying, ]] With an everlasting love do I love thee, Therefore have I kept mercy for thee.
4 Nga fah sifilpa musaikowosyak, na kowos ac sifilpa srukak tambourine nutuwos, ac onsrosro ke engan.
Again will I build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel! Again shalt thou adorn thy tabrets, And go forth in the dance of them that make merry.
5 Kowos ac sifilpa yok ima in grape fin inging Samaria, ac elos su yukwiya fah kang fahko kac.
Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria; The planters shall plant, and eat the fruit.
6 Aok, pacl se ac tuku ke mwet san uh ac wowoyak fin inging Ephraim ac fahk, ‘Fahsru, kut utyak som nu Zion, nu yurin LEUM GOD lasr.’”
For the day is coming when the watchmen shall cry upon Mount Ephraim, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion, To Jehovah, our God.
7 LEUM GOD El fahk, “On ac insewowo ke mwet Israel, Mutunfacl se su yohk ac pwengpeng inmasrlon mutunfaclu. Alullul ke on in kaksak lowos ac fahk, ‘LEUM GOD El molela mwet lal; El loangelos nukewa su painmoulla.’
For thus saith Jehovah: Sing with gladness for Jacob, And shout for the head of the nations! Publish ye, praise ye, and say: Jehovah, thou hast saved thy people, The remnant of Israel.
8 Nga fah usalosme liki acn epang, Ac eisaloseni liki saflaiyen faclu. Mwet kun ac mwet ul fah welulos tuku — Mutan pitutu ac elos su apkuran in isusla. Elos ac foloko tuh na sie mutunfacl lulap.
Behold, I will bring them from the land of the North, And gather them from the extremities of the earth; And with them shall be the blind and the lame, The woman with child, and she that is in travail with child together; A great company shall return thither.
9 Mwet luk fah tung ke elos foloko, Elos ac pre ke nga pwanulosme. Nga ac kololos nu ke infacl srisrik Fin soko inkanek fwel, yen elos fah tia tukulkul we. Nga oana sie papa nu sin Israel, Ac Ephraim pa wen se ma matu oemeet nutik.”
They shall come with weeping, And amid supplications will I lead them; I will conduct them to streams of water, In a straight way, in which they shall not stumble. For I have become a father to Israel, And Ephraim is my first-born.
10 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Kowos mutanfahl uh, lohngyu Ac sulkakin kas luk nwe yen loessula. Nga tuh akfahsryelik mwet luk, tusruktu nga ac sifil eisaloseni Ac liyalosyang oana sie mwet sropo su liyaung un kosro natul.
Hear the word of Jehovah, O ye nations, And proclaim it in the distant coasts, and say: “He that scattered Israel will gather him, And will guard him, as a shepherd his flock.”
11 Nga aksukosokyela mwet Israel, Ac molelosla liki sie mutunfacl kulana.
For Jehovah hath redeemed Jacob, And ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.
12 Elos ac tuku ac on ke engan Fineol Zion, Ac arulana insewowo ke mwe kite luk inge: Wheat, ac wain, ac oil in olive, Oayapa sheep ac cow. Moul lalos ac fah oana sie ima ma aksroksrokyeyuk wo; Ma nukewa elos enenu ac fah itukyang nu selos.
And they shall come and sing upon the height of Zion; They shall exult in the bounty of Jehovah, The corn, and the new wine, and the oil, And the young of the flock, and of the herd; And they shall be as a well-watered garden, And they shall languish no more.
13 Na mutan fusr fah tacn ac engan, Ac mukul fusr ac mukul matu ac fah insewowo. Nga fah akwoyalos ac ekulla sasao lalos nu ke insewowo, Ac asor lalos nu ke engan.
Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, And the young men and old men together, For I will change their mourning into joy; I will comfort them, and cheer them after their sorrow.
14 Nga fah akkihpye mwet tol ke mwe mongo na yuyu, Ac akfalye enenu nukewa lun mwet luk. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
And I will satisfy the priests with fatness, And my people shall be satisfied with my bounty, saith Jehovah.
15 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Sie pusra lohngyuk Ramah me, Pusren tung na upa. Rachel el tungi tulik natul. Elos wanginla, Ac el tia lungse in akwoyeyuk el.
Thus saith Jehovah: A voice hath been heard in Ramah, Lamentation and bitter weeping; Rachel, weeping for her children, Refuseth to be comforted, because they are no more.
16 Nimet tung. Eela sroninmotom. Kom ac fah eis lacnen orekma nukewa Ma kom oru nu sin tulik nutum an. Elos ac foloko liki facl sin mwet lokoalok lalos.
Thus saith Jehovah: Refrain thy voice from weeping, And thine eyes from tears, For thy labor shall be rewarded, saith Jehovah; They shall come again from the land of the enemy.
17 Oasr mwe finsrak lom nu ke pacl fahsru; Tulik nutum ac foloko nu yen selos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
There is hope for thy future days, saith Jehovah; Thy children shall come again to their border.
18 “Nga lohng ke mwet Israel elos fahk ke asor lun insialos, ‘LEUM GOD, kut oana kosro lemnak ma soenna akmunayeyuk. Tusruktu kom luti kut in akos. Folokinkutwot. Kut akola in folok nu yurum, LEUM GOD lasr.
I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself: “Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, Like a steer not broken. Turn thou me, and I shall be turned, For thou, O Jehovah, art my God!
19 Kut tuh forla liki kom, A tia paht na kut kena folokot nu yurum. Tukun kom kai kut Kut suwoli ke asor lulap. Kut mwekinla ac tonongla Mweyen kut oru ma koluk ke pacl in fusr lasr!’
Surely, after I returned, I repented, And after I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh; I was ashamed, yea, I was confounded, Because I bore the reproach of my youth.”
20 “Israel, kom wen saoklana nutik, Tulik se su nga kuloi. Pacl nukewa nga fahk inem uh Nga asor yohk keim. Nga arulana nunkekom; Ac pakomutom na pwaye.
Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he a beloved child? For as often as I speak of him, I do earnestly remember him still. My heart beateth for him; I will have mercy upon him, saith Jehovah.
21 Tulokunak kutu akul in akilenya inkanek. Sifilpa konauk innek ma kowos tuh ut we som. Foloko, mwet Israel, Fahsru nu yen suwos, nu ke siti srisrik ma kowos tuh som liki.
Set thee up waymarks; Raise thee pillars; Have regard to the highway, the way that thou goest! Return, O virgin of Israel, Return to these thy cities!
22 Kowos su sululalfongi, kowos ac nikinkowosla nwe ngac? Nga orala sie lumah sasu, sie liki ma meet ah, Ekla na yohk se, oana ke sie mutan fin loango sie mukul.”
How long wilt thou wander about, O rebellious daughter? Behold, Jehovah createth a new thing in the earth: The woman shall protect the man.
23 LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, El fahk, “Ke nga ac folokunla mwet uh nu in facl selos, elos ac sifilpa fahk in facl Judah ac siti nukewa we mu, ‘Lela LEUM GOD Elan akinsewowoye eol mutal lun Jerusalem, Acn mutal yen El muta we.’
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Again shall they say in the land of Judah, And in the cities thereof, when I bring back their captives, “May Jehovah bless thee, O habitation of justice, O holy mountain!”
24 Mwet uh ac fah muta Judah ac in siti nukewa we, na ac fah oasr mwet ima, ac mwet shepherd wi un kosro natulos.
And Judah shall dwell in it, and all his cities together, Husbandmen, and they that go forth with their flocks.
25 Nga ac fah akkeyalos su totola, ac sang mwe mongo nu selos su munasla.
For I will refresh him that is thirsty, And I will satisfy him that languisheth.
26 Ouinge mwet uh fah fahk, ‘Nga motulla ac ke nga ngutalik monuk arulana kui.’
Upon this I awoke, and beheld, And my sleep was sweet to me.
27 “Nga, LEUM GOD, fahk mu pacl se ac tuku ke nga fah akpusyelik pisen mwet ac kosro natulos in facl Israel ac Judah.
Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, That I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah. With the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.
28 Na oana ke nga tuh oaru in fusak, amakinya, topkakunla, kunausla, ac fukulya, in pacl fahsru nga fah oayapa oaru in yokwalosi ac in musaelosyak.
And it shall be that as I have watched over them To pluck up, and to pull down, and to overthrow, And to destroy, and to afflict, So will I watch over them To build, and to plant, saith Jehovah.
29 Ke pacl sac summa, mwet uh ac tia sifilpa fahk kas se inge: ‘Papa ac nina kangla grape mukol, A tulik uh isla wihselos.’
In those days they shall no more say, “The fathers have eaten sour grapes, And the children's teeth are set on edge.”
30 A ac fah ouinge: kutena su kang grape mukol, wihsel sifacna fah isla. Ac kais sie mwet fah misa ke sripen koluk lal sifacna.”
But every one shall die for his own iniquity; Every man that eateth sour grapes, His teeth shall be set on edge.
31 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Pacl se ac tuku ke nga fah oakiya sie wuleang sasu yurin mwet Israel ac yurin mwet Judah.
Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, That I will make with the house of Israel, And with the house of Judah, a new covenant;
32 Ac fah tia oana wuleang matu su nga tuh orala yurin mwet matu lalos pacl se nga tuh sruokya paolos ac kololosme liki Egypt. Nga finne oana sie mukul tuma nu selos, a elos tuh tiana liyaung wuleang sac.
Not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, In the day when I took them by the hand To bring them out of the land of Egypt; Which covenant of mine they broke, And I rejected them, saith Jehovah.
33 Wuleang sasu se su nga ac oru yurin mwet Israel fah ouinge: Nga fah likiya ma sap luk in elos, ac simusla insialos. Nga fah God lalos, ac elos fah mwet luk.
But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel: After those days, saith Jehovah, I will put my law into their inward parts, And upon their hearts will I write it; And I will be their God, And they shall be my people.
34 Wangin selos ac fah enenu in luti mwet in facl sel in etu ke LEUM GOD mweyen mwet nukewa fah eteyu, mutawauk yurin mwet su arulana pusisel nwe ke elos su fulatlana. Nga fah nunak munas ke ma koluk lalos, ac nga fah tia sifil esam ma sutuu lalos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
And they shall teach no more, Every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, Saying, “Know ye Jehovah!” For they shall all know me, From the least of them even to the greatest of them, saith Jehovah; For I will forgive their iniquity, And I will remember their sin no more.
35 LEUM GOD pa sang tuh faht in kalem ke len, Ac malem ac itu in kalem ke fong. El pa purakak noa in meoa uh in ngirngir. Inel pa LEUM GOD Kulana.
Thus saith Jehovah, Who made the sun for a light by day, And the ordinances of the moon and stars for a light by night, Who stirreth up the sea, so that the waves thereof roar, Jehovah of hosts is his name:
36 Ke sripen oakwuk inge nukewa ac tia wanginla, Ouinge El wulela mu mutunfacl Israel ac fah tia wanginla.
If these ordinances shall depart from before me, Then shall the race of Israel also cease from being a nation before me forever.
37 Oana ke koflana srikasrak uh acn lucng inkusrao, Ac koflana tuniyuk acn loallana ke pwelung lun faclu, Ouinge nga fah tia sisla mwet Israel Elos finne orekma koluk. LEUM GOD pa fahk ma inge.
Thus saith Jehovah: If the heavens above can be measured, Or the foundations of the earth beneath searched out, Then will I cast off all the race of Israel For all which they have done, saith Jehovah.
38 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Pacl se ac tuku ke acn nukewa in Jerusalem ac fah musaiyukla tuh in siti sik, liki Tower Hananel layen roto, nwe ke Mutunpot Sruwasrik.
Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, That the city shall be built to Jehovah From the tower of Hananeel to the corner-gate.
39 Na masrol uh ac fahla liki Mutunpot Sruwasrik suwoslana nu ke eol Gareb, na kuhfla nu Goah.
And the measuring line shall go forth over against it even to the hill Gareb, And extend itself to Goath.
40 Infahlfal sac nufon yen mwet misa pukpuk we ac acn in sisi kutkut, wi ima nukewa lucng liki Infacl Kidron fahla nwe ke Mutunpot Horse nu kutulap, ac fah acn mutal nu sik. Mwet lokoalok ac fah tia sifilpa utyak ac sruokya siti se inge ku kunausla.”
And the whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, And all the fields to the brook Kidron, Even to the corner of the horsegate toward the East, Shall be holy to Jehovah. No more shall it be plucked up, Or thrown down, forever.
