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,
"If you will return, Israel," says the LORD, "if you will return to me, and if you will put away your abominations out of my sight; then you shall not be removed;
2 na ac tufah fal kowos in fulahk ke Inek. Mutunfacl nukewa fah siyuk sik in akinsewowoyalos, ac elos fah kaksakinyu.”
and you shall swear, 'As the LORD lives,' in truth, in justice, and in righteousness. The nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory."
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 says the LORD to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, "Break up your fallow ground, and do not sow among thorns.
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.”
Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, you men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; lest my wrath go forth like fire, and burn so that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
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 Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, 'Blow the trumpet in the land.' Cry aloud and say, 'Assemble yourselves. Let us go into the fortified cities.'
6 Srisrngi inkanek nu Zion! Kaing, kom in moulla! Nimet pahtlac! LEUM GOD El use ongoiya Ac kunausten lulap liki acn epang.
Set up a standard toward Zion. Flee for safety. Do not wait; for I will bring evil 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.
A lion is gone up from his thicket, and a destroyer of nations; he is on his way, he is gone forth from his place, to make your land desolate, that your cities be laid waste, without inhabitant.
8 Ke ma inge nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa, ac tung ac mwemelil Mweyen kasrkusrak upa lun LEUM GOD Tiana forla liki Judah.
For this clothe yourself with sackcloth, lament and wail; for the fierce anger of the LORD hasn't turned back from us.
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.”
"It shall happen at that day," says the LORD, "that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the officials; and the priests 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 I said, "Ah, Lord GOD. Surely you have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, 'You shall have peace;' whereas the sword reaches to 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 be said to this people and to Jerusalem, "A hot wind from the bare heights in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to winnow, nor to cleanse;
12 a ac fah sie eng na upa supweyuku sin LEUM GOD. LEUM GOD sifacna pa akkalemye nununku lal nu sin mwet lal.
a full wind from these shall come for me. Now I will also utter judgments against 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!
Look, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as the whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us. For we are ruined.
14 O Jerusalem, ohlla ma koluk liki insiom tuh kom in ku in moul. Kom ac nunku nunak koluk uh nwe ngac?
Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long shall your evil thoughts lodge within you?
15 Mwet utuk kas tuku Dan me, ac liki fineol in acn Ephraim, in sulkakinelik pweng koluk.
For a voice declares from Dan, and publishes evil from the hills of 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
"Tell the nations; look, publish against Jerusalem, 'Besiegers come from a far country, and raise their voice against the cities of Judah.
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.
As keepers of a field, they are against her all around, because she has been rebellious against me,'" says 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.
"Your way and your doings have brought these things to you. This is your wickedness; for it is bitter, for it reaches to your 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 anguish, my anguish. I am pained at my very heart; my heart is disquieted in me; I can't hold my peace; because you have heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
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 on destruction is proclaimed; for the whole land is laid waste: suddenly are my tents destroyed, and my curtains in a moment.
21 Nga ac liye flag lun mweun nwe ngac, Ac lohng pusren mwe ukuk putaka?
How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound 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 are foolish, they do not know me. They are foolish children, and they have no understanding. They are skillful in doing evil, but to do good they have no knowledge."
23 Nga ngetla liye faclu — wangin lumah ac wangin koano. Nga ngetak nu yen engyeng uh — wangin kalem we.
I saw the earth, and, look, it was waste and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
24 Nga ngetang nu ke eol uh, tuh na kusrusrsrusr, Ac tohktok uh wacwat.
I saw the mountains, and look, they trembled, and all the hills moved back and forth.
25 Nga liye lah wangin mwet. Finne won yen engyeng uh — sohkla wanginla.
I saw, and look, there was no man, and all the birds of the sky had fled.
26 Acn ma imaiyukla ekla yen mwesis. Siti nukewa kunausyukla Ke sripen kasrkusrak upa lun LEUM GOD. (
I saw, and look, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all its cities were broken down at the presence of the LORD; before his fierce anger they were destroyed.
27 LEUM GOD El fahk mu faclu nufon ac fah mwesisla ac wangin ma oan fac, tusruktu El fah tia kunausla nufon.)
For thus says the LORD, "The whole land shall be a desolation; yet I will not make a full end.
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.
For this the earth will mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and I have not relented, neither will I turn back 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.
Every city flees for the noise of the horsemen and archers; they go into caves, and they hide themselves in the thickets, and climb up on the rocks; every city is forsaken, and not a man dwells in it.
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!
You, when you are made desolate, what will you do? Though you clothe yourself with scarlet, though you dress yourselves with ornaments of gold, though you enlarge your eyes with paint, in vain do you make yourself beautiful; your lovers despise you, they seek your 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 have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, the anguish as of her who brings forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, who gasps for breath, who spreads her hands, saying, "Woe is me now. For my soul faints before the murderers."
