Words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, of the priests who [are] in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin,
2 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sel Jeremiah in yac se aksingoul tolu ma Josiah wen natul Amon el tuh tokosra lun Judah,
to whom the word of YHWH has been in the days of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign,
3 ac El sifilpa kaskas nu sel Jeremiah ke Jehoiakin wen natul Josiah el tuh tokosra. Tukun pacl sac, LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sel ke pacl na pus, nwe ke yac aksingoul sie ma Zedekiah, wen natul Josiah, el tokosra. Ke malem se aklimekosr in yac sac mwet Jerusalem elos utukla nu in sruoh.
and it is in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the completion of the eleventh year of Zedekiah son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the expulsion of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
4 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
5 “Meet liki nga lumwekomla nga sulekomla, ac meet liki kom isusla nga srikomla in sie mwet palu nu sin mutunfacl uh.”
“Before I form you in the belly, I have known you; and before you come forth from the womb I have separated you; I have made you a prophet to the nations.”
6 Na nga topuk, “LEUM GOD Fulatlana, nga nikin lah mea nga ac fahk. Nga arulana fusrla.”
And I say, “Aah! Lord YHWH! Behold, I have not known—to speak, for I [am] a youth.”
7 Tusruktu LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Nikmet fahk mu kom fusrla, a fahla nu yurin mwet ma nga supwekom nu se uh, ac fahk nu selos ma nukewa nga sapkin kom in fahk.
And YHWH says to me, “Do not say, I [am] a youth, for to all to whom I send you—go, and all that I command you—speak.
8 Nimet sangeng selos, tuh nga ac fah wi kom ac karingin kom. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge!”
Do not be afraid of their faces, for I [am] with you to deliver you,” a declaration of YHWH.
9 Na LEUM GOD El asroema paol, pusralla ngoasrok, ac fahk nu sik, “Porongo, nga ac sot nu sum kas kom in fahk.
And YHWH puts forth His hand, and strikes against my mouth, and YHWH says to me, “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
10 Misenge nga sot ku nu sum fin mutunfacl ac tokosrai nukewa, in fusak ac in ikorinya, in kunausla ac sisla, in musai ac in yukwiya.”
See, I have charged you this day concerning the nations, and concerning the kingdoms, to pluck up, and to break down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.”
11 LEUM GOD El siyuk sik, “Jeremiah, mea kom liye?” Nga topuk, “Nga liye lesak almond se.”
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “What are you seeing, Jeremiah?” And I say, “I am seeing a rod of an almond tree.”
12 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Pwaye sum, ac nga tawi in liye lah kas luk akpwayeiyuk.”
And YHWH says to me, “You have seen well: for I am watching over My word to do it.”
13 Na LEUM GOD El sifil kaskas nu sik, ac siyuk, “Mea pac kom liye?” Nga topuk, “Nga liye pac tup in kof se poel epang, ac apkuran in topme nu layenu.”
And there is a word of YHWH to me a second time, saying, “What are you seeing?” And I say, “I am seeing a blown pot, and its face [is] from the north.”
14 El fahk nu sik, “Mwe ongoiya ac fah kahkma epangme nu faclos nukewa su muta in facl se inge,
And YHWH says to me, “From the north the evil is loosed against all inhabitants of the land.
15 mweyen nga pangon mutunfacl nukewa in acn epang in tuku. Tokosra lalos fah oakiya tron lalos ke mutunpot lun Jerusalem ac rauneak pot we, ac oayapa rauneak siti saya lun Judah.
For behold, I am calling for all families of the kingdoms of the north,” a declaration of YHWH, “And they have come, and each put his throne at the opening of the gates of Jerusalem, and by its walls all around, and by all cities of Judah.
16 Nga fah kalyei mwet luk mweyen elos orekma koluk. Elos fahsr likiyu, sang mwe kisa lalos nu sin god ngia, ac orek ma sruloala ac alu nu selos.
And I have spoken My judgments with them concerning all their evil, in that they have forsaken Me, and make incense to other gods, and bow themselves to the works of their own hands.
17 Jeremiah, akola kom in som ac fahk nu selos ma nukewa nga sapkin kom in fahk. Nikmet sangeng selos inge. Kom fin sangeng nga fah akyokye sangeng lom ke kom ac tu ye mutalos.
And you, you gird up your loins, and have arisen, and spoken to them all that I command you: do not be frightened because of them, lest I frighten you before them.
18 Misenge nga oru tuh kom in oana sie siti potiyukyak kulana, soko sru osra, sie kalkal bronze, ma in lain facl se inge nufon — lain tokosra nukewa lun Judah, wi fisrak we, mwet tol we, ac mwet in facl sac.
And I, behold, have given you this day for a fortified city, and for an iron pillar, and for bronze walls over all the land, to the kings of Judah, to its heads, to its priests, and to the people of the land;
19 Elos fah mweun lain kom; tusruktu elos ac fah tia ku in kutangkomla, tuh nga ac fah wi kom ac karingin kom. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
and they have fought against you, and they do not prevail against you; for I [am] with you,” a declaration of YHWH, “to deliver you.”
