1 Book se inge fahkak ke kas lal Jeremiah wen natul Hilkiah, sie sin mwet tol lun siti srisrik Anathoth ke facl lun Benjamin.
The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, one of the priests who were 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,
The LORD’s word came to him in the days of Josiah the 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.
It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
4 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
Now the LORD’s word came 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 formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
6 Na nga topuk, “LEUM GOD Fulatlana, nga nikin lah mea nga ac fahk. Nga arulana fusrla.”
Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I don’t know how to speak; for I am a child.”
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.
But the LORD said to me, “Don’t say, ‘I am a child;’ for you must go to whomever I send you, and you must say whatever I command you.
8 Nimet sangeng selos, tuh nga ac fah wi kom ac karingin kom. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge!”
Don’t be afraid because of them, for I am with you to rescue you,” says the LORD.
9 Na LEUM GOD El asroema paol, pusralla ngoasrok, ac fahk nu sik, “Porongo, nga ac sot nu sum kas kom in fahk.
Then the LORD stretched out his hand and touched my mouth. Then the LORD said 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.”
Behold, I have today set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to uproot and to tear down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.”
11 LEUM GOD El siyuk sik, “Jeremiah, mea kom liye?” Nga topuk, “Nga liye lesak almond se.”
Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.”
12 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Pwaye sum, ac nga tawi in liye lah kas luk akpwayeiyuk.”
Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well; for I watch over my word to perform 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.”
The LORD’s word came to me the second time, saying, “What do you see?” I said, “I see a boiling cauldron; and it is tipping away from the north.”
14 El fahk nu sik, “Mwe ongoiya ac fah kahkma epangme nu faclos nukewa su muta in facl se inge,
Then the LORD said to me, “Out of the north, evil will break out on all the 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 will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north,” says the LORD. “They will come, and they will each set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls all around, and against all the 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.
I will utter my judgements against them concerning all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burnt incense to other gods, and worshipped 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.
“You therefore put your belt on your waist, arise, and say to them all that I command you. Don’t be dismayed at them, lest I dismay 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.
For behold, I have made you today a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against 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.”
They will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you”, says the LORD, “to rescue you.”
