Jeremiah 4
1 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet Israel, kowos fin lungse forla, kowos forma nu sik. Kowos fin pwaye nu sik ac sisla ma sruloala ma nga srunga ingan,
O Israel, if thou returne, returne vnto me, saith the Lord: and if thou put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remoue.
2 na ac tufah fal kowos in fulahk ke Inek. Mutunfacl nukewa fah siyuk sik in akinsewowoyalos, ac elos fah kaksakinyu.”
And thou shalt sweare, The Lord liueth in trueth, in iudgement, and in righteousnesse, and the nations shall be blessed in him, and shall glorie in him.
3 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet Judah ac Jerusalem, “Akfisrasryeak fohk ke acn ma soenna imaiyuk. Nimet yukwiya fita sunowos inmasrlon kokul uh.
For thus saith the Lord to the men of Iudah, and to Ierusalem,
4 Kowos mwet Judah ac Jerusalem, kowos in karinganang wuleang su nga, LEUM GOD lowos, orala inmasrlok ac kowos, ac kowos in sifacna kisakinkowosme nu sik. Kowos fin tia oru, na kasrkusrak luk ac tayak oana e, ke sripen ma koluk kowos oru. Ac fah firir ac wangin sie ku in konela.”
Breake vp your fallowe ground, and sowe not among the thornes: be circumcised to the Lord, and take away the foreskinnes of your hearts, ye men of Iudah, and inhabitants of Ierusalem, lest my wrath come foorth like fire, and burne, that none can quenche it, because of the wickednesse of your inuentions.
5 Ukya mwe ukuk in sasla facl sac nufon! Sasa in yohk ac kalem! Fahkang nu sin mwet Judah ac Jerusalem In kaing nu ke siti ma potiyukyak ku.
Declare in Iudah, and shewe forth in Ierusalem, and say, Blowe the trumpet in the lande: cry, and gather together, and say, Assemble your selues, and let vs goe into strong cities.
6 Srisrngi inkanek nu Zion! Kaing, kom in moulla! Nimet pahtlac! LEUM GOD El use ongoiya Ac kunausten lulap liki acn epang.
Set vp the standart in Zion: prepare to flee, and stay not: for I will bring a plague from the North, and a great destruction.
7 Sie su kunausla mutunfacl uh mukuiyak tari, Oana soko lion otyak liki acn in wikwik lal. El tuku in kunausla Judah. Siti lun Judah ac oan musalla, Ac wangin mwet ac muta we.
The lyon is come vp from his denne, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is departed, and gone forth of his place to lay thy land waste, and thy cities shalbe destroyed without an inhabitant.
8 Ke ma inge nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa, ac tung ac mwemelil Mweyen kasrkusrak upa lun LEUM GOD Tiana forla liki Judah.
Wherefore girde you with sackecloth: lament, and howle, for the fierce wrath of the Lord is not turned backe from vs.
9 LEUM GOD El fahk, “In len sac, tokosra ac mwet fulat ac fah wanginla pulaik lalos. Mwet tol ac arulana lut, ac mwet palu ac fah oela.”
And in that day, saith the Lord, the heart of the King shall perish, and the heart of the princes and the Priestes shall be astonished, and the Prophets shall wonder.
10 Na nga fahk, “LEUM GOD Fulatlana, kom arulana kiapwela mwet Jerusalem! Kom fahk mu ac fah oasr misla, a cutlass se pa oanna inkwawalos.”
Then saide I, Ah, Lord God, surely thou hast deceiued this people and Ierusalem, saying, Ye shall haue peace, and the sworde perceth vnto the heart.
11 Pacl se ac tuku ke ac fah fwackyang nu sin mwet Jerusalem lah sie eng na fol ac tuku yen mwesis uh nu yorolos. Ac fah tia sie eng srisrik mwe na okla kulun wheat —
At that time shall it bee saide to this people and to Ierusalem, A dry winde in the hie places of the wildernes commeth towarde ye daughter of my people, but neither to fanne nor to clense.
12 a ac fah sie eng na upa supweyuku sin LEUM GOD. LEUM GOD sifacna pa akkalemye nununku lal nu sin mwet lal.
A mightie winde shall come vnto me from those places, and nowe will I also giue sentence vpon them.
13 Ngetla liye — mwet lokoalok el tuku oana pukunyeng uh. Chariot in mweun lal oana eng fohru, ac horse natul uh mui liki eagle uh. We nu sesr! Kut ac sikiyukla!
Beholde, he shall come vp as the cloudes, and his charets shalbe as a tempest: his horses are lighter then eagles. Woe vnto vs, for wee are destroyed.
14 O Jerusalem, ohlla ma koluk liki insiom tuh kom in ku in moul. Kom ac nunku nunak koluk uh nwe ngac?
O Ierusalem, wash thine heart from wickednes, that thou maiest be saued: how long shall thy wicked thoughtes remaine within thee?
15 Mwet utuk kas tuku Dan me, ac liki fineol in acn Ephraim, in sulkakinelik pweng koluk.
For a voyce declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.
16 Elos tuku in sensenkakin mutunfacl uh, ac in fahk nu sin Jerusalem lah mwet mweun elos tuku liki sie facl loessula. Mwet lokoalok inge fah wowoyak lain siti lun Judah
Make ye mention of the heathen, and publish in Ierusalem, Beholde, the skoutes come from a farre countrey, and crie out against the cities of Iudah.
17 ac elos fah rauneak Jerusalem oana mwet san elos rauneak ima se, mweyen mwet lal uh orek likkeke lain LEUM GOD. LEUM GOD pa fahk ma inge.
They haue compassed her about as the watchmen of the fielde, because it hath prouoked me to wrath, saith the Lord.
18 Judah, kom sifacna oru ma inge in tuku nu fom. Ouiyen moul lom ac orekma koluk lom pa pwanang keok se inge in fakiskomi sasla insiom.
Thy wayes and thine inuentions haue procured thee these things, such is thy wickednesse: therefore it shall be bitter, therefore it shall perce vnto thine heart.
19 Nga waiok! Nga tia ku in muteng waiok se inge! Insiuk kihmkimyak ke sangeng! Nga tia ku in misla. Nga lohng mwe ukuk Ac pusren sasa lun mweun.
My bely, my bely, I am pained, euen at the very heart: mine heart is troubled within me: I cannot be still: for my soule hath heard the sounde of the trumpet, and the alarme of the battell.
20 Mwe ongoiya uh kalkalwen in sun kut; Facl sac nufon sikiyukla. Lohm nuknuk sesr kunausyukla in kitin pacl na. Mwe lisrlisr uh mihsasa uh.
Destruction vpon destruction is cryed, for the whole lande is wasted: suddenly are my tents destroyed, and my curtaines in a moment.
21 Nga ac liye flag lun mweun nwe ngac, Ac lohng pusren mwe ukuk putaka?
Howe long shall I see the standert, and heare the sounde of the trumpet?
22 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet luk elos lalfon; Elos tia eteyu. Elos oana tulik lalfon; Wangin etauk lalos. Elos sasla ke oru ma koluk, A tiana etu in oru ma wo.”
For my people is foolish, they haue not knowen me: they are foolish children, and haue none vnderstanding: they are wise to doe euill, but to doe well they haue no knowledge.
23 Nga ngetla liye faclu — wangin lumah ac wangin koano. Nga ngetak nu yen engyeng uh — wangin kalem we.
I haue looked vpon the earth, and loe, it was without forme and voide: and to the heauens, and they had no light.
24 Nga ngetang nu ke eol uh, tuh na kusrusrsrusr, Ac tohktok uh wacwat.
I behelde the mountaines: and loe, they trembled and all the hilles shooke.
25 Nga liye lah wangin mwet. Finne won yen engyeng uh — sohkla wanginla.
I behelde, and loe, there was no man, and all the birdes of the heauen were departed.
26 Acn ma imaiyukla ekla yen mwesis. Siti nukewa kunausyukla Ke sripen kasrkusrak upa lun LEUM GOD. (
I behelde, and loe, the fruitfull place was a wildernesse, and all the cities thereof were broken downe at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce wrath.
27 LEUM GOD El fahk mu faclu nufon ac fah mwesisla ac wangin ma oan fac, tusruktu El fah tia kunausla nufon.)
For thus hath the Lord saide, The whole lande shall be desolate: yet will I not make a full ende.
28 Faclu ac fah mwemelil; Inkusrao fah lohsrla. LEUM GOD El fahk ma inge, Ac El fah tia ekulla nunak lal. El orala tari sulela lal Ac fah tiana ekla liki.
Therefore shall the earth mourne, and the heauens aboue shall be darkened, because I haue pronounced it: I haue thought it, and will not repent, neither will I turne backe from it.
29 Ke kusen kasrusr lun un mwet mweun fin horse ac mwet pisr, Mwet nukewa ac kaingla. Kutu ac kaing nu insak uh, Ac kutu ac fanyak nu inmasrlon eot lulap. Siti nukewa ac pisala, Ac wangin mwet ac sifil muta we.
The whole citie shall flee, for the noyse of the horsemen and bowemen: they shall goe into thickets, and clime vp vpon the rockes: euery citie shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
30 Jerusalem, kom sikiyukla tari! Mwe mea kom in nukum nuknuk srusra? Mwe mea kom in yunikomla ke mwe naweyuk gold ac sang sroal in akkatoye motom? Kom sifacna oru kom in kato ke wangin! Mwet kawuk lom siskomla Ac kena unikomi!
And when thou shalt be destroyed, what wilt thou doe? Though thou clothest thy selfe with skarlet, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of golde, though thou paintest thy face with colours, yet shalt thou trimme thy selfe in vaine: for thy louers will abhorre thee and seeke thy life.
31 Nga lohng sie sao, oana pusren sie mutan akola in isus, Oana pusren tung lun sie mutan oswe tulik se oemeet natul. Pa inge tung lun Jerusalem, ke el suk mongol Ac asroelik paol ac fahk, “Nga ac misa! Elos tuku in uniyuwi!”
For I haue heard a noyse as of a woman trauailing, or as one labouring of her first child, euen the voyce of the daughter Zion that sigheth and stretcheth out her handes: woe is me nowe: for my soule fainteth because of the murtherers.
