Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Strengthen yourselves, ye sons of Benjamin, in the midst of Jerusalem, and sound the trumpet in Thecua, and set up the standard over Bethacarem: for evil is seen out of the north, and a great destruction.
1Kowos mwet Benjamin, kaing ac suk moul lowos! Kaingla liki Jerusalem! Ukya mwe ukuk in Tekoa, ac tanak sie e an in Beth Haccherem in sulkakin lah ongoiya ac kunausten akuranna tuku liki acn epang.
2I have likened the daughter of Sion to a beautiful and delicate woman.
2Siti Zion arulana oasku, tusruktu ac fah kunausyukla;
3The shepherds shall come to her with their flocks: they have pitched their tents against her round about: every one shall feed them that are under his hand.
3tokosra uh ac fah mutangan aktuktuk we wi mwet mweun lalos. Elos ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos rauneak siti sac, ac kais sie selos fah aktuktuk in acn na el lungse.
4Prepare ye war against her: arise, and let us go up at midday: woe unto us, for the day is declined, for the shadows of the evening are grown longer.
4Elos fah fahk, “Akola in mweuni Jerusalem! Tuyak, kut ac mweunel ke infulwen len!” Na elos sifilpa fahk, “Tari, arulana pahtlac. Fongeni pa inge.
5Arise, and let us go up in the night, and destroy her houses.
5Kut fah mweunel ofong. Kut ac kunausla pot ku lun siti uh.”
6For thus saith the Lord of hosts: Hew down her trees, cast up a trench about Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited, all oppression is in the midst of her.
6LEUM GOD Kulana El sapkin tokosra inge in pakiya kutu sak ac elosak fohkon acn uh mwe fanyak nu fin pot Jerusalem. El fahk, “Nga fah kai siti se inge mweyen yokna akkeok we.
7As a cistern maketh its water cold, so hath she made her wickedness cold: violence and spoil shall be heard in her, infirmity and stripes are continually before me.
7Oana ke sie lufin kof oasr kof sasu loac pacl nukewa, ouinge oasr ma koluk sasu in Jerusalem pacl nukewa. Nga lohng na ke akmas ac sulallal orek in siti uh. Pwayena ma nga liye pa mas ac kinet.
8Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee, lest I make thee desolate, a land uninhabited.
8Mwet Jerusalem, lela mwe lokoalok inge in mwe akesmakye kowos. Fin tia, nga fah siskowosla. Nga ac ekulla siti lowos nu ke sie acn mwesis, sie acn ma wangin mwet muta we.”
9Thus saith the Lord of hosts: They shall gather the remains of Israel, as in a vine, even to one cluster: turn back thy hand, as a grape gatherer into the basket.
9LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk nu sik, “Israel ac fah wanginla mwet we oana sie ima in grape su fahko nukewa kac uh kinkinla. Ke ma inge kom enenu in molelosla nukewa su kom ku in molela ke srakna oasr pacl.”
10To whom shall I speak? and to whom shall I testify, that he may hear? behold, their ears are uncircumcised, and they cannot hear: behold the word of the Lord is become unto them a reproach: and and they will not receive it.
10Ac nga fahk, “Su ac lohngyu nga fin kaskas nu selos in akesmakyalos? Elos likkeke ac srangesr lohng kas lom. Elos isrun ma kom sap nga in fahk.
11Therefore am I full of the fury of the Lord, I am weary with holding in: pour it out upon the child abroad, and upon the council of the young men together: for man and woman shall be taken, the ancient and he that is full of days.
11LEUM GOD , kasrkusrak lom selos firir pac in nga, ac nga koflana in sifil kutong.” Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Okoala kasrkusrak luk nu fin tulik srisrik inkanek uh, ac nu fin tukeni lun mukul fusr. Ac fah utukla pac mwet payuk nukewa, wi mwet arulana matu.
12And their houses shall be turned over to others, with their lands and their wives together: for I will stretch for my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord.
12Lohm selos ac ima lalos ac mutan kialos ac fah itukyang nu sin kutu pac mwet. Nga ac kalyei mwet in facl se inge.
13For from the least of them even to the greatest, all are given to covetousness: and from the prophet even to the priest, all are guilty of deceit.
13Mwet nukewa, mwet fulat ac mwet srisrik, elos srike in orek mani ke inkanek kutasrik. Finne mwet palu ac mwet tol, elos kiapu pac mwet uh.
14And they healed the breach of the daughter of my people disgracefully, saying: Peace, peace: and there was no peace.
14Elos oru oana in ma na kuretyuki pa kinet ke mwet luk uh. Elos fahk mu, ‘Ma nukewa wo na,’ sruhk ma uh tiana wo.
15They were confounded, because they committed abomination: yea, rather they were not confounded with confusion, and they knew not how to blush: wherefore they shall fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall fall down, saith the Lord.
15Ya elos mwekin ke elos oru ma srungayuk inge? Mo, elos tiana mwekin kutu srisrik. Elos tia pacna ngetnget in mwekin. Ke ma inge elos ac fah misa oana mwet misa tari. Pacl se nga kalyaelos uh, pa ingan saflaiyalos. Nga, LEUM GOD , pa fahk ma inge.”
16Thus saith the Lord: Stand ye on the ways, and see and ask for the old paths which is the good way, and walk ye in it: and you shall find refreshment for your souls. And they said: we will not walk.
16LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Tu ke inkanek sengelik uh ac liye. Siyuk lah pia inkanek ma matu ac wo emeet uh. Fahsr kac, ac kowos fah muta in misla.” Tusruktu elos fahk, “Mo, kut ac fah tia fahsr kac!”
17And I appointed watchmen over you, saying: Hearken ye to the sound of the trumpet. And they said: We will not hearken.
17Na LEUM GOD El srisrngiya mwet san in porongo ke ukuk uh ac kas. Tuh elos fahk, “Kut ac tia porongo.”
18Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what great things I will do to them.
18Ke ma inge LEUM GOD El fahk, “Porongo, kowos mutunfacl uh, ac liye ma ac sikyak nu sin mwet luk.
19Hear, O earth: Behold I will bring evils upon this people, the fruits of their own thoughts: because they have not heard my words, and they have cast away my law.
19Lohng, O faclu! Nga ac use mwe ongoiya nu sin mwet inge in kaelos ke pwapa koluk lalos nukewa, mweyen elos srunga mwe luti luk ac tia akos kas luk.
20To what purpose do you bring me frankincense from Saba, and the sweet smelling cane from a far country? your holocausts are not acceptable, nor are your sacrifices pleasing to me.
20Mwe mea mwe kisa keng elos use Sheba me nu yuruk, ku mwe akyuye mongo elos use yen loesla me? Nga fah tia eis mwe sang lalos, ku insewowokin mwe kisa lalos.
21Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will bring destruction upon this people, by which fathers and sons together shall fall, neighbor and kinsman shall perish.
21Ke ma inge nga ac oru mwet inge in tukulkul ac ikori. Papa uh ac wen natulos ac fah misa, oayapa mwet kawuk ac mwet tulan.”
22Thus saith the Lord: Behold a people cometh from the land of the north, and a great nation shall rise up from the ends of the earth.
22LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mwet ac fah tuku liki sie facl in acn epang. Sie mutunfacl kulana yen loesla el akola nu ke mweun.
23They shall lay hold on arrow and shield: they are cruel, and will have no mercy. Their voice shall roar like the sea: and they shall mount upon horses, prepared as men for war, against thee, O daughter of Sion.
23Elos sruok mwe pisr ac cutlass natulos; elos mwet sulallal ac wangin pakomuta lalos. Pusren kasrusr lun horse natulos oana pusren ngirngir lun meoa uh. Elos akola in mweun lain Jerusalem.”
24We have heard the fame thereof, our hands grow feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, as a woman in labor.
24Na mwet Jerusalem elos fahk, “Kut lohng tari pweng ingan, ac paosr munas ac atla; kut fosrngala ac keok oana sie mutan isus.
25Go not out into the fields, nor walk in the highway: for the sword of the enemy, and fear is on every side.
25Kut tia ku in som likin siti uh, ku forfor inkanek uh, mweyen mwet lokoalok lasr uh akoela mwe mweun natulos, ac mwe aksangeng lulap raunikutla yen nukewa.”
26Gird thee with sackcloth, O daughter of my people, and sprinkle thee with ashes: make thee mourning as for an only son, a bitter lamentation, because the destroyer shall suddenly come upon us.
26LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa ac ipippip in apat uh. Kowos in arulana tung ac mwemelil oana ke wen sefanna nutuwos el misa, mweyen el su tuku in sikikowosla ac fah tuku ke pacl na sa in mweuni kowos.
27I have set thee for a strong trier among my people: and thou shalt know and prove their way.
27Jeremiah, srike mwet luk uh oana ke kom ac srike osra uh, kom in konauk kuiyalos.
28All of these princes go out of the way, they walk deceitfully, they are brass and iron: they are all corrupted.
28Elos nukewa likkeke ac lainyu na. Elos keke oana osra bronze ac iron. Elos nukewa koluk. Elos forfor ac srumun kas kikiap ke mwet.
29The bellows have failed, the lead is consumed in the fire, the founder hath melted in vain: for their wicked deeds are not consumed.
29Funyu uh arulana folla, ac kutkut ke osra uh tiana kofelik in nasnasla. Ouinge wangin sripa in tayak e uh in aknasnasyela mwet luk, mweyen mwet koluk uh tiana som lukelos.
30Call them reprobate silver, for the Lord hath rejected them.
30Elos ac fah pangpang kutkut wangin sripa ma sisila, mweyen nga, LEUM GOD , siselosla.”
