Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fertile valley of those who are overcome with wine!
1We nu sin tokosrai lun Israel! Wolana lal efla oana losr ma oan fin sifen mwet kol sruhi lalos. Insuf filang lalos onola keng na, tusruktu elos sruhilana oan ac tia etalos.
2Behold, the Lord has one who is mighty and strong. Like a storm of hail, a destroying storm, and like a storm of mighty waters overflowing, he will cast them down to the earth with his hand.
2Leum El akoela tari sie su ku ac fokoko in mweun nu selos — sie su fah tuku oana sie paka in af na yohk kosra, oana sie af matol ma oana sie sronot fungme ac afunla acn uh.
3The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim will be trodden under foot.
3Filang lun mwet kol sruhi lalos ac fah lolongyuki.
4The fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fertile valley, shall be like the first-ripe fig before the summer, which someone picks and eats as soon as he sees it.
4Wolana lun mwet kol filang lalos fah wanginla, oana fahko se meet ke sak fig ke pacl la, sifeyukyak ac mongola ke tufahna mwesrla.
5In that day, the LORD of Armies will become a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty to the residue of his people,
5Sie len ac tuku ke LEUM GOD Kulana El ac fah oana sie losr wolana nu sin mwet lal su moulla.
6and a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
6El ac fah sang ngunin nununku suwohs nu sin mwet nununku, ac akpulaikyalos su liyaung mutunpot lun siti in lain mwet lokoalok.
7They also reel with wine, and stagger with strong drink. The priest and the prophet reel with strong drink. They are swallowed up by wine. They stagger with strong drink. They err in vision. They stumble in judgment.
7Finne mwet palu ac mwet tol, elos arulana sruhi, oru elos fahsr tukulkul. Yokla nim wain ac mwe nim ku, oru elos nukanulosla ac fahsr toptop. Mwet palu elos arulana sruhi ac tia kalem ke aruruma ma God El supu, ac mwet tol elos arulana sruhi ac tia ku in oru nununku suwohs nu ke mwe elya lun mwet uh.
8For all tables are completely full of filthy vomit and filthiness.
8Tepu ma elos muta kac afla ke woht, ac wangin acn nasnas lula fac.
9Whom will he teach knowledge? To whom will he explain the message? Those who are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts?
9Elos torkaskas keik ac fahk, “Ku El nunku mu su El luti uh? Su enenu kas lal? Ma na nu sin tulik fusr ma tufahna liktitla!
10For it is precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little.
10Ma na fisrasr pa El luti nu sesr: El kalweni kais sie leta, lain nu ke lain, mwe luti nu ke mwe luti.”
11But he will speak to this nation with stammering lips and in another language,
11Kowos fin tia porongeyu, na God El ac supwaot kutu mwetsac su orekmakin kas sakirik ma kowos tia kalem kac in luti kowos.
12to whom he said, “This is the resting place. Give rest to the weary,” and “This is the refreshing;” yet they would not hear.
12El kena akwoye kowos ac sot mongla nu suwos nukewa, a kowos srunga porongal.
13Therefore the LORD’s word will be to them precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, fall backward, be broken, be snared, and be taken.
13Pa pwanang LEUM GOD El ac kalweni kais sie leta, lain nu ke lain, ac mwe luti nu ke mwe luti. Na kowos fah tukulkul yen nukewa kowos fahsr we. Kowos ac fah kinkineta, sremla ke kwasrip, ac utukla nu in sruoh.
14Therefore hear the LORD’s word, you scoffers, that rule this people in Jerusalem:
14Inge, kowos mwet enum su leum fin mwet inge in acn Jerusalem, porongo ma LEUM GOD El fahk.
15“Because you have said, ‘We have made a covenant with death, and we are in agreement with Sheol. When the overflowing scourge passes through, it won’t come to us; for we have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves under falsehood.’”
15Kowos konkin mu kowos orala sie wuleang yurin misa, ac kowos insesela yurin mwet in facl sin mwet misa. Kowos nunku mu mwe ongoiya ac fah aliki kowos ke pacl se ac tuku, mweyen kowos lulalfongi ke kikiap ac kutasrik lowos in loangekowos.
16Therefore the Lord GOD says, “Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone of a sure foundation. He who believes shall not act hastily.
16Pa inge ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk: “Nga likiya sie pwelung in Zion ma oakwuki ku. Nga filiya sie eot insruwasrik saok ac ku kac, ac kas inge simla fac: ‘Lulalfongi se su ku el oayapa mongfisrasr.’
17I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the plumb line. The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters will overflow the hiding place.
17Nununku suwohs pa mwe srikasrak nu fin pwelung uh, ac pwaya pa mwe srikasrak nu ke siska ah, tenyak nu lucng.” Af yohk kosra fah pokla kikiap nukewa ma kowos lulalfongi, ac sronot ac fah kunausla acn kowos lulalfongi in wikla we.
18Your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand. When the overflowing scourge passes through, then you will be trampled down by it.
18Wuleang ma kowos orala yurin misa ac fah sisila, ac insesela lowos yurin mwet in facl lun misa fah ikilyukla wanginla ku la. Ke mwe ongoiya lulap ac tuhme, ac fah afinkowosi ac kunauskowosla.
19As often as it passes through, it will seize you; for morning by morning it will pass through, by day and by night; and it will be nothing but terror to understand the message.”
19Ac fah kalkalwen in pokkowosla ke lotutang nukewa. Kowos ac fah keokkin ke len ac fong. Kais sie kas sin God me ac fah mwe aksangeng yohk nu suwos!
20For the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the blanket is too narrow to wrap oneself in.
20Kowos ac fah oana mukul se in soakas se inge: mwe oan kial fototola elan asrosrelik fac, ac kaot lal oasriksrikla elan afinilya kac.
21For the LORD will rise up as on Mount Perazim. He will be angry as in the valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his unusual work, and bring to pass his act, his extraordinary act.
21LEUM GOD El ac fah mweun in oana El tuh oru Fineol Perazim ac infahlfal lun Gibeon, Elan ku in orala ma El nunku in oru, finne mukuikui lal uh sie liki na ma mwet uh tawi. El fah aksafye orekma lal su mwet uh tia ku in kalem kac.
22Now therefore don’t be scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard a decree of destruction from the Lord, GOD of Armies, on the whole earth.
22Nimet isrun kas in sensenkakin nga sot nu suwos! Kowos fin isrun, ac fah upala nu suwos in kaingkunla. Nga lohng pwapa lun LEUM GOD Kulana in kunausla mutunfacl nufon se inge.
23Give ear, and hear my voice! Listen, and hear my speech!
23Porongo ma nga fahk uh, ac lohang nu ke ma nga fahk nu suwos.
24Does he who plows to sow plow continually? Does he keep turning the soil and breaking the clods?
24Wangin mwet ima kalwenina in akfisrasrye acn in ima lal ac tia yukwiya.
25When he has leveled its surface, doesn’t he plant the dill, and scatter the cumin seed, and put in the wheat in rows, the barley in the appointed place, and the spelt in its place?
25Ke pacl se el akoela fohk uh wo, na el yukwiya fiten mahsrik oana dill ac cumin. El yukwi tah in wheat ac barley, ac ke sisken ima lal el yukwi kutu pac kain fita.
26For his God instructs him in right judgment and teaches him.
26El etu lah el ac oru orekma lal fuka, mweyen God El lotel.
27For the dill isn’t threshed with a sharp instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned over the cumin; but the dill is beaten out with a stick, and the cumin with a rod.
27El tia orekmakin sak toasr in puokla fiten dill ku fiten cumin; a el orekmakin sak mulala ac fal lupa.
28Bread flour must be ground; so he will not always be threshing it. Although he drives the wheel of his threshing cart over it, his horses don’t grind it.
28El ac tia puok na puok wheat uh nwe ke na mukutkuti, a el etu lah el ac srungulla kolo uh ke el patok sie mwe wiwa fac in mau tia itungya wheat uh.
29This also comes out from the LORD of Armies, who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom.
29Lalmwetmet inge nukewa tuku sin LEUM GOD Kulana. Lemlem ma God El oru uh lalmwetmet, ac pacl nukewa safla tuh na wo.
