< Jeremiah 49 >

1 Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk ke mwet Ammon: “Pia mukul Israel uh? Ya wangin mwet in tuyak loango facl selos? Fuka tuh mwet ma alu nu sel Molech elos tuku eisla acn sin sruf lal Gad ac oakwuki we?
Concerning the children of Ammon. Thus saith Jehovah: Hath Israel no sons? Hath he not an heir? Why then doth Milcom inherit Gad, And his people dwell in his cities?
2 Tusruktu pacl se ac fah tuku ke nga fah oru mwet in siti fulat Rabbah in lohng kusen mweun, na acn we ac fah sikiyukla, ac inkul we ac fah firirla nwe ke apatla. Na mwet Israel fah sifil eisla acn selos ma mwet Ammon tuh eisla.
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, That I will cause a cry of war to be heard against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, And she shall become a ruinous heap, And her daughters shall be burned with fire; And Israel shall take possession of their land, who took possession of his.
3 Mwet Heshbon, kowos in wowoyak tung! Acn Ai kunausyukla! Mutan Rabbah, kowos in eoksra! Nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa ac muta in asor, ac sifacna sringil monuwos. Molech, god lowos, fah utukla nu in sruoh, wi mwet tol ac mwet fulat lal.
Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste! Cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, Gird yourselves with sackcloth, lament, And run ye to and fro within the fences! For Milcom goeth into captivity, His priests and his princes together.
4 Kowos mwet sesuwos, efu kowos ku konkin? Ku lowos uh sriksrikeni. Efu ku kowos lulalfongi ku lowos sifacna, ac fahk mu wangin mwet ac pulaik in mweuni kowos?
Wherefore dost thou glory in the valleys? Thy valley shall flow [[with blood]], O perverse daughter, That gloriest in thy treasures, [[Saying, ]] “Who shall come against me?”
5 Nga fah use mwe aksangeng nu fowos liki acn nukewa. Kowos nukewa fah kaingelik. Kais sie fah kaing in suk moul lal, ac wangin sie fah ku in orani mwet mweun lowos uh.
Behold, I will bring a terror upon thee, saith Jehovah of hosts, From all those that are around thee, And ye shall be driven out, every one right forth, And there shall be none to gather up the fugitives.
6 Tusruktu tok, nga fah oru mwet Ammon in sifil kapkapak. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
But after this will I bring back the captivity of the sons of Ammon, saith Jehovah.
7 Pa inge ma LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk ke acn Edom: “Ya wanginla pwapa ac oakwuk wo yurin mwet Edom? Ya mwet kasru lalos tila lotelos ke ma fal elos in oru? Ya lalmwetmet nukewa lalos wanginla?
Concerning the Edomites. Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Is wisdom no more in Teman? Is counsel passed away from the prudent? Is their wisdom vanished?
8 Mwet Dedan, kowos in forla, kaing, ac wikla! Nga ac kunausla fwilin tulik natul Esau mweyen sun pacl ngan kaelos.
Flee ye, turn ye back, Dwell in deep places, O ye inhabitants of Dedan! For the destruction of Esau do I bring, The time of his punishment upon him.
9 Ke mwet uh sifani grape, elos ac likiya kutu in oanna ke oa in grape ah. Ac finne mwet pusrapasr uh ac tuku ke fong, elos ac eis na lupa elos enenu.
If grape-gatherers had come upon thee, Would they not have left some gleanings? If thieves by night, They would have destroyed only till they had enough.
10 Tusruktu nga arulana kunausla ma nukewa lun fwilin tulik natul Esau, ac nga konauk ac kunausla acn in wikwik lalos, na elos tia ku in sifil wikla we. Mwet Edom nukewa sikiyukla. Wangin siefanna selos lula.
But I will make Esau bare; I will uncover his hiding-places, So that he shall not be able to hide himself. His offspring shall be destroyed, and his brethren, and his neighbors, And he shall be no more.
11 Filiya tulik mukaimtal nutuwos an yuruk, ac nga fah liyalosyang. Katinmas lowos an ku in lulalfongiyu in kasrelos.
Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive, And thy widows, let them trust in me!
12 “Fin pa mwet su wangin mwata enenu in nim ke cup in kaiyuk, ya kowos nunku mu kowos ac tia wi sun kaiyuk? Mo, kowos enenu na in nim ke cup sac!
For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, they who ought not to have drunk the cup have deeply drunken, And shalt thou go altogether unpunished? Thou shalt not go unpunished; Thou shalt surely drink.
13 Nga sifacna fulahk lah siti Bozrah ac fah ekla sie acn sikiyukla ac mwet uh ac tuninfong ke liyeya. Elos ac fah sufan, ac orekmakin inen acn we oana kas in selnga. Inkul atulani nukewa ac fah oan srualana nwe tok. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
For by myself have I sworn, saith Jehovah, That Bozrah shall become an astonishment, A reproach, a desolation, and a curse; And all her cities shall be perpetual wastes.
14 Na nga fahk, “Edom, nga eis sie kas sin LEUM GOD me. El supwama sie mwet in sulkakin nu sin mutunfacl uh tuh elos in orani un mwet mweun lalos ac akola in mweuni kom.
I have heard a proclamation from Jehovah, And an ambassador hath been sent among the nations, [[Saying, ]] “Assemble yourselves, and come against her, And arise to battle!”
15 LEUM GOD El ac oru kom in munas inmasrlon mutunfacl uh, ac elos fah pilesrekom.
For, behold, I will make thee small among the nations, Despised among men.
16 Inse fulat lom uh kiapwekomla, ac kom nunku mu mutunfacl saya elos sangeng sum. Kom muta fin fulu uh, yen fulat fin mangon eol uh; tusruktu kom nwe muta yen fulat oana eagle uh, LEUM GOD El ac srukkomi nwe ten. LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, The pride of thy heart, Because thou dwellest in the recesses of the rock, And holdest the height of the hill. Though thou set thy nest on high, like the eagle, From thence will I bring thee down, saith Jehovah.
17 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Lupan musalla ma ac sikyak in acn Edom ac fah arulana upa, oru elos nukewa su fahsryak we ac fah lut ac tuninfongla.
And Edom shall be an astonishment: Every one that passeth by her shall be astonished, And shall hiss on account of all her plagues.
18 Ma ac sikyak nu ke acn Edom inge, pa pacna tuh sikyak nu ke acn Sodom ac Gomorrah ke tuh kunausyukla acn we, wi inkul nukewa ma oan raunela. Wangin mwet ac sifilpa muta we. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, And their neighboring cities, saith Jehovah, There shall not a man abide there, Nor a son of man dwell within her.
19 Oana ke soko lion ac sasma liki insak matol sisken Infahl Jordan yak nu ke inima folfol insroa, nga fah tuku ac oru mwet Edom in sa kaing liki facl selos. Na mwet kol se nga sulela uh ac fah leumi facl sac. Su ku in lumweyuk nu sik? Su pulaik in kisrungyu? Ma ya mwet leum se ac lainyu?
Behold, he [[the enemy]] cometh up like a lion from the pride of Jordan against the habitation of the rock; Suddenly will I drive him [[Edom]] thence, And him who is chosen by me will I set over her. For who is like me, Or who will summon me to trial? Or who is the shepherd that will stand up against me?
20 Ouinge, porongo oakwuk ma nga oru in lain mwet Edom, ac ma nga akoo in oru nu sin mwet in siti Teman. Finne tulik natulos, ac amala som, ac mwet nukewa ac fah tuninfongla.
Therefore, hear ye the purpose of Jehovah, Which he hath formed against Edom, And the designs which he meditateth against the inhabitants of Teman! Surely he [[the enemy]] shall drag them forth like feeble sheep; Surely he shall come upon them, And make their pastures desolate.
21 Pacl se Edom ac putatla uh, kusa uh ac arulana yohk, pwanang faclu nufon kusrusryak, ac pusren tuninfong lun mwet uh ac fah lohngyuk oe yen loessula, sun Meoa Srusra.
At the noise of their fall the earth trembleth, Even to the Red Sea is their cry heard.
22 Mwet lokoalok ac fah mweuni Bozrah oana sie eagle asroelik paol ac pwesroulme. Ke len sac, mwet mweun lun Edom ac fah sangeng oana sie mutan ac isus.”
Behold, like an eagle, he [[the enemy]] cometh up, And spreadeth his wings over Bozrah; And the hearts of the heroes of Edom, in that day, Shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
23 Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk ke acn Damascus: “Mwet in siti Hamath ac Arpad elos fosrnga ac sensen mweyen elos lohng pweng koluk. Mwe sensen afnulosi oana pulkulak lun noa meoa, ac elos tia ku in mongla.
Concerning Damascus. Hamath and Arpad are confounded; They faint, because they have heard evil tidings. There is anxiety at the sea; It cannot be at rest.
24 Mwet Damascus elos munaslana, ac elos nukewa kaing. Elos fosrnga ac sensen ac keok, oana sie mutan in pacl in isus.
Damascus is faint-hearted; She turneth herself to flee; Trembling hath seized on her; Anguish and pangs have taken hold of her, as of a woman in travail.
25 Siti se ma tuh pwengpeng ac engan meet, inge wanginla mwet muta we.
“Why is not the praised city left, The city of my joy?”
26 Ke len sac, mwet fusr lal ac fah anwuki inkanek lun siti uh, ac mwet mweun lal nukewa sikiyukla.
Yea, her young men shall fall in her streets, And all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, Saith Jehovah of hosts.
27 Nga fah esukak pot lun Damascus, ac nga fah furreak inkul fulat sel Tokosra Benadad. Nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, pa fahk ma inge.”
Yea, I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, Which shall consume the palaces of Benhadad.
28 Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk ke sruf Kedar ac facl ma karinginyuk sin acn Hazor, su tuh kutangyukla sel Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia: “Mweuni mwet Kedar, ac sukela sruf se ingan su muta in acn kutulap!
Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, smote. Thus saith Jehovah: Arise ye, go up against Kedar, And spoil the sons of the East!
29 Sruokya lohm nuknuk selos ac un kosro natulos, mwe lisrlisr ke lohm nuknuk selos ac ma nukewa in lohm selos. Eisla camel natulos ac fahk nu sin mwet uh, ‘Kowos rauniyukla ke mwe aksangeng!’
Their tents and their flocks shall they take away; They shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their furniture, and their camels, And men shall cry to them, “Terror is on every side.”
30 “Mwet Hazor, nga LEUM GOD, sensenkakin kowos tuh kowos in kaingla nu yen loessula ac wikla. Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia el orek pwapa in lain kowos, ac pa inge ma el fahk,
Flee, get you far off, dwell in deep places, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith Jehovah. For Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, meditates a design against you, And has formed a purpose against you.
31 ‘Tuyak, som mweuni mwet ingo su muta in misla ac wangin fosrnga lalos! Acn selos wangin mutunpot, wangin pac polosak in sang kaliya, ac wangin facl apkuran nu yorolos.
Arise ye, go up against a nation at ease, That dwelleth securely, saith Jehovah; Which hath neither gates nor bars; Which dwelleth alone.
32 “Eisla camel ac cow nukewa natulos! Mwet ingan su kalla insifalos fototo, nga fah luselosla nu yen nukewa. Nga fah oru tuh ongoiya in tuku nu faclos yen nukewa me.
And their camels shall be a booty, And the multitude of their cattle a spoil; And I will scatter to all the winds them that shave the cheeks, And from every side will I bring their calamity, saith Jehovah.
33 Acn Hazor ac fah sie acn mwesis nwe tok, sie acn ma kosro inima mukena muta we. Wangin mwet ac sifilpa muta we. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
And Hazor shall be a dwelling for jackals, A desolation forever. There shall not a man abide there, Nor any son of man dwell therein.
34 Tia paht tukun Zedekiah el tokosrala lun Judah, LEUM GOD Kulana El kaskas nu sik ke acn Elam.
The word of Jehovah which came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, king of Judah, saying: —
35 El fahk, “Nga fah uniya mwet pisr nukewa su oru Elam arulana ku.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I break the bow of Elam, The chief part of their strength.
36 Nga fah oru eng uh in tuhyak lain Elam liki acn nukewa, ac nga fah akfahsryelik mwet lal nu yen nukewa, nwe ke wangin sie mutunfacl ma elos tia kaingelik nu we.
And I will bring against Elam The four winds from the four extremities of the heavens, And I will scatter them to all these winds, And there shall be no nation To which the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
37 Nga fah oru mwet Elam elos in sangeng sin mwet lokoalok lalos, su lungse onelosi. In kasrkusrak lulap luk, nga fah kunausla mwet Elam ac supwala un mwet mweun lainulos nwe ke nga sukelosla nufon.
For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, And before them that seek their life. And I will bring evil upon them, The fierceness of my anger, saith Jehovah. And I will send after them the sword, Until I have consumed them.
38 Nga fah kunausla tokosra ac mwet kol lalos, ac nga fah tulokunak tron luk we.
And I will set up my throne in Elam, And I will destroy from thence king and princes, saith Jehovah.
39 Tusruktu tok nga fah oru mwet Elam in sifilpa kapkapak. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
But it shall come to pass in future times, That I will bring back the captivity of Elam, saith Jehovah.
