Jeremiah 7
1 Kas inge tuku nu sel Jeremiah sin LEUM GOD:
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 “Tu ke mutunpot in lohm sin LEUM GOD ac sulkakin kas inge we, fahkang: Lohng kas lun LEUM GOD, kowos mwet Judah nukewa, kowos su ilyak ke mutunpot inge in alu nu sel.
Stand in the gate of the LORD’s house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all you of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD.
3 Ouinge LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, El fahk: Ekulla ouiyen moul lowos ac ma kowos oru, ac nga fah lela kowos in mutana in facl suwos.
Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
4 Nimet lulalfongi kas ma mwet uh kiapwekowos kac, fahk mu, ‘Ac wangin ongoiya nu sesr! Tempul lun LEUM GOD pa inge! Tempul lun LEUM GOD pa inge!’ Tempul lun LEUM GOD pa inge!’
Trust you not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these.
5 “Ekulla ouiyen moul lowos ac tui liki ma kowos oru ingan. Oru in fal ac suwohs ma kowos oru nu sin sie sin sie.
For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if you thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbor;
6 Tui liki inkanek kutasrik nu sin mwetsac, mwet mukaimtal, ac katinmas. Tui liki akmuseyen mwet wangin mwata in facl se inge. Tui liki alu nu sin god saya, tuh ma inge ac pwanang in kunausyukla kowos.
If you oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:
7 Kowos fin ekla, nga ac lela kowos in mutana in facl se inge su nga sang nu sin papa matu tomowos tuh in ma selos nwe tok.
Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.
8 “Liye, kowos filiya lulalfongi lowos in kas kikiap ma wangin sripa.
Behold, you trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
9 Kowos pisrapasr, akmas, kunaus wuleang in marut, oru fulahk kikiap, orek kisa nu sin Baal, ac alu nu sin god ma kowos tia etu meet.
Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods whom you know not;
10 Kowos oru ma nga srunga inge, tari kowos tuku tu ye mutuk in Tempul sik sifacna, ac fahk, ‘Ac wangin ongoiya nu sesr!’
And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?
11 Ya kowos nunku mu Tempul sik sie acn in wikwik lun mwet pisrapasr? Nga liyena ma kowos oru an.
Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, says the LORD.
12 Kowos som nu Shiloh, acn se oemeet nga sulela tuh mwet in alu nu sik we, ac liye ma nga oru we ke sripen ma koluk lun Israel, mwet luk.
But go you now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.
13 Kowos oru ma koluk inge nukewa, ac nga finne kalwenina in kaskas na kaskas, kowos tia lungse lohng. Pacl nga pangon kowos, kowos tiana topuk.
And now, because you have done all these works, says the LORD, and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you heard not; and I called you, but you answered not;
14 Ke ma inge, ma nga tuh oru in acn Shiloh nga fah oru pac nu ke Tempul sik inge, su yohk lulalfongi lowos kac. In acn se inge su nga tuh sang nu sin mwet matu lowos ac oayapa nu suwos, nga ac fah oru oapana ma nga tuh oru in acn Shiloh.
Therefore will I do to this house, which is called by my name, wherein you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
15 Nga fah liskowosla liki ye mutuk, oana ke nga lusla Israel, sou lowos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brothers, even the whole seed of Ephraim.
16 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Jeremiah, nimet kom pre ke mwet inge. Nimet tung ku pre nu sik kaclos; nimet kwafe nu sik in kasrelos, mweyen nga ac tia porongekom.
Therefore pray not you for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear you.
17 Ya kom tia liye ma elos oru in siti lun Judah ac inkanek lun Jerusalem?
See you not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
18 Tulik uh ti etong, ac papa uh ta e, ac mutan uh aryar flao in orek bread nu sin god mutan se su elos pangon Kasra lun Kusrao. Elos oayapa okwok wain in mwe sang lalos nu sin god saya in aktoasryeyu.
The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
19 Tusruktu, ya nga pa elos aktoasrye uh? Mo, elos aktoasryalos sifacna, ac sifacna akmwekinyalos.
Do they provoke me to anger? says the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?
20 Ke ma inge nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fah okoala kasrkusrak lulap luk nu fin Tempul se inge. Nga fah ukuiya nu fin mwet ac kosro oana sie, oayapa nu fin ma yukwiyuki ac sak inimae. Kasrkusrak luk ac fah oana sie e ma wangin mwet ku in konela.
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, my anger and my fury shall be poured out on this place, on man, and on beast, and on the trees of the field, and on the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.
21 “Mwet luk, kutu kisa lowos uh kowos furreak fin loang uh, ac kutu filfilla in mwe mongo. Tusruktu nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, fahk mu mansis kowos in kangla kewa.
Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat flesh.
22 Ke nga tuh usla mwet matu lowos liki facl Egypt, wangin ma sap nga sang nu selos ke mwe kisa firir, ku ke kutepacna kain in mwe kisa.
For I spoke not to your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
23 Ma nga sapkin nu selos pa elos in akosyu, tuh nga fah God lalos ac elos fah mwet luk. Ac nga fahkang nu selos in moul fal nu ke ma sap luk, tuh ma nukewa fah wo nu selos.
But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people: and walk you in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well to you.
24 Tusruktu elos tiana akos ku porongeyu. Elos likkekena ac oru oana lungse koluk lalos sifacna — pwanang elos tia wola a elos kolukla liki meet.
But they listened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
25 Mutawauk ke len se mwet matu lowos illa liki facl Egypt nwe misenge, nga nuna supuna nu yuruwos mwet kulansap luk, mwet palu.
Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt to this day I have even sent to you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them:
26 Ne ouinge, tia sie porongalos ku lohang nu ke kas lalos. A kowos likkekelana ac orekma koluk yohk liki mwet matu lowos.
Yet they listened not to me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.
27 “Ke ma inge, Jeremiah, kom ac fahk kas inge nukewa nu sin mwet luk, a elos ac tiana porongekom. Kom ac pang nu selos, a elos ac tia topuk.
Therefore you shall speak all these words to them; but they will not listen to you: you shall also call to them; but they will not answer you.
28 Kom fah fahk nu selos lah mutunfacl selos uh tiana akosyu, LEUM GOD lalos. Kaiyuk elos, a elos tiana ekla. Wanginla inse pwaye, ac tia pacna sramsramkinyuk.
But you shall say to them, This is a nation that obeys not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receives correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
29 “Mwet Jerusalem, kowos in tung; Kowos in kalla aunsifowos ac sisla. Onkakin soko on in pukmas fin mangon eol uh, Mweyen nga, LEUM GOD, nga kasrkusrak, Ac nga sisla mwet luk.
Cut off your hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the LORD has rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
30 “Mwet Judah elos orala sie ma na koluk. Elos likiya ma sruloala lalos, ma nga srunga, in Tempul sik, pwanang Tempul uh taekla.
For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, says the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.
31 Ke Infahlfal Hinnom elos etoak sie loang su pangpang Topheth, tuh elos in ku in kisakin tulik mukul ac tulik mutan natulos fin e. Nga tia sapkin elos in oru ma inge — nga tia pacna nunkauk lumah ouinge.
And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.
32 Ke ma inge, oasr pacl se ac fah tuku, ke ac fah tia sifilpa pangpang acn se inge Topheth ku Infahlfal Hinnom, a ac fah pangpang Infahlfal in Uniya. Elos fah pikinya mwet misa we nwe ke na lisr acn in pukmas.
Therefore, behold, the days come, says the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place.
33 Monin mwet misa uh ac fah mwe mongo nun won ac kosro lemnak, mweyen ac wangin mwet in luselosla.
And the carcasses of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away.
34 Facl sac ac fah ekla nu ke sie acn mwesis. In siti lun Judah ac inkanek Jerusalem nga fah aksafyela pusren engan ac insewowo, ac oayapa ac fah wanginla engneyen marut uh.
Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.
