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,” says the LORD, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.”
2 In acn mwesis nga tuh akkalemye pakomuta luk nu selos su painmoulla. Ke pacl se mwet Israel elos kena mongla,
The LORD says, “The people who survive the sword found favour in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.”
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.
The LORD appeared of old to me, saying, “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore I have drawn you with loving kindness.
4 Nga fah sifilpa musaikowosyak, na kowos ac sifilpa srukak tambourine nutuwos, ac onsrosro ke engan.
I will build you again, and you will be built, O virgin of Israel. You will again be adorned with your tambourines, and will go out in the dances of those who make merry.
5 Kowos ac sifilpa yok ima in grape fin inging Samaria, ac elos su yukwiya fah kang fahko kac.
Again you will plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria. The planters will plant, and will enjoy its 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 there will be a day that the watchmen on the hills of Ephraim cry, ‘Arise! Let’s go up to Zion to the LORD 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 the LORD says, “Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout for the chief of the nations. Publish, praise, and say, ‘LORD, save your 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 north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth, along with the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her who travails with child together. They will return as a great company.
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 will come with weeping. I will lead them with petitions. I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they won’t stumble; for I am a father to Israel. Ephraim is my firstborn.
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 LORD’s word, you nations, and declare it in the distant islands. Say, ‘He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd does his flock.’
11 Nga aksukosokyela mwet Israel, Ac molelosla liki sie mutunfacl kulana.
For the LORD has ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of him who 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.
They will come and sing in the height of Zion, and will flow to the goodness of the LORD, to the grain, to the new wine, to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd. Their soul will be as a watered garden. They will not sorrow any more at all.
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 the virgin will rejoice in the dance, the young men and the old together; for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from 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.”
I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people will be satisfied with my goodness,” says the LORD.
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.
The LORD says: “A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children. She refuses to be comforted for her children, 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.
The LORD says: “Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears, for your work will be rewarded,” says the LORD. “They will 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 your latter end,” says the LORD. “Your children will come again to their own territory.
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 grieving thus, ‘You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as an untrained calf. Turn me, and I will be turned, for you are the LORD 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 that I was turned. I repented. After that I was instructed. I struck my thigh. I was ashamed, yes, even 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 darling child? For as often as I speak against him, I still earnestly remember him. Therefore my heart yearns for him. I will surely have mercy on him,” says the LORD.
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 up road signs. Make guideposts. Set your heart towards the highway, even the way by which you went. Turn again, virgin of Israel. Turn again to these your 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 will you go here and there, you backsliding daughter? For the LORD has created a new thing in the earth: a woman will encompass a 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.’
The LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Yet again they will use this speech in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I reverse their captivity: ‘The LORD bless you, habitation of righteousness, mountain of holiness.’
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.
Judah and all its cities will dwell therein together, the farmers, and those who go about with flocks.
25 Nga ac fah akkeyalos su totola, ac sang mwe mongo nu selos su munasla.
For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.”
26 Ouinge mwet uh fah fahk, ‘Nga motulla ac ke nga ngutalik monuk arulana kui.’
On this I awakened, and saw; 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,” says the LORD, “that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and with the seed of animal.
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.
It will happen that, like as I have watched over them to pluck up and to break down and to overthrow and to destroy and to afflict, so I will watch over them to build and to plant,” says the LORD.
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 will say no more, “‘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 everyone will die for his own iniquity. Every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth will 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,” says the LORD, “that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah,
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 that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, which covenant of mine they broke, although I was a husband to them,” says the LORD.
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 that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says the LORD: “I will put my law in their inward parts, and I will write it in their heart. 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.”
They will no longer each teach his neighbour, and every man teach his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD;’ for they will all know me, from their least to their greatest,” says the LORD, “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.
The LORD, who gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar— the LORD of Hosts is his name, says:
36 Ke sripen oakwuk inge nukewa ac tia wanginla, Ouinge El wulela mu mutunfacl Israel ac fah tia wanginla.
“If these ordinances depart from before me,” says the LORD, “then the offspring of Israel also will 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.
The LORD says: “If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, then I will also cast off all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done,” says the LORD.
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,” says the LORD, “that the city will be built to the LORD from the tower of Hananel to the gate of the corner.
39 Na masrol uh ac fahla liki Mutunpot Sruwasrik suwoslana nu ke eol Gareb, na kuhfla nu Goah.
The measuring line will go out further straight onward to the hill Gareb, and will turn towards Goah.
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.”
The whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields to the brook Kidron, to the corner of the horse gate towards the east, will be holy to the LORD. It will not be plucked up or thrown down any more forever.”
