Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1“They say, ‘If a man puts away his wife, and she goes from him, and becomes another man’s, should he return to her again?’ Wouldn’t that land be greatly polluted? But you have played the prostitute with many lovers; yet return again to me,” says the LORD.
1LEUM GOD El fahk, “Mukul se fin sisla mutan kial, ac mutan sac som ac payuk sin sie pac mukul, mukul se meet ah tia ku in sifil eis mutan sac, mweyen ac tuh arulana akfohkfokyela acn uh. Tusruktu, Israel, pukanten na mwet kom pwar se, ac inge kom lungse foloko nu yuruk!
2“Lift up your eyes to the bare heights, and see! Where have you not been lain with? You have sat waiting for them by the road, as an Arabian in the wilderness. You have polluted the land with your prostitution and with your wickedness.
2Ngetak nu yen turangang fin inging uh. Ya oasr acn kom tia kukakin monum we? Kom mutana soano mwet kom pwar se pe inkanek, oana sie mwet Arab el mutana yen mwesis soano sie mwet in fahsryak elan ku in oru inkanek in sulallal nu sel. Moul in kosro lom uh akfohkfokyela acn uh.
3Therefore the showers have been withheld and there has been no latter rain; yet you have had a prostitute’s forehead and you refused to be ashamed.
3Pa oru af uh tui, ac wangin pac af ke pacl in taknelik. Ngetnget lom an oapana ngetnget lun sie mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lal, ac kom tiana mwekin.
4Will you not from this time cry to me, ‘My Father, you are the guide of my youth!’?
4“Ac inge kom fahk nu sik, ‘Kom pa papa tumuk, ac kom nuna lungsena nga e ke nga srikyak.
5“‘Will he retain his anger forever? Will he keep it to the end?’ Behold, you have spoken and have done evil things, and have had your way.”
5Kom ac tia kasrkukrak pacl nukewa. Kom ac tia mulat sik nwe tok.’ Israel, kom fahk ouingan, a kom nuna oru na ma koluk pacl nukewa.”
6Moreover, the LORD said to me in the days of Josiah the king, “Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? She has gone up on every high mountain and under every green tree, and has played the prostitute there.
6Ke pacl se Josiah el tuh tokosra, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Ya kom liye ma koluk Israel el oru? El forla likiyu oana sie mutan su tia pwaye nu sin mukul tumal. Fin inging nukewa ac ye sak folfol nukewa el oru oana sie mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lal.
7I said after she had done all these things, ‘She will return to me;’ but she didn’t return, and her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
7Nga tuh nunku mu tukun el oru ma inge nukewa, el ac foloko nu yuruk. Tuh pa el tiana foloko. Na Judah, tamtael se wial su tia pac pwaye nu sin mukul tumal, el liye ma inge nukewa.
8I saw when, for this very cause, that backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a certificate of divorce, yet treacherous Judah, her sister, had no fear, but she also went and played the prostitute.
8Judah el liye pac lah nga Israel fahsrelik, ac nga supwalla mweyen el forla likiyu ac mutawauk in sie mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lal. Tusruktu Judah, tamtael kutasrik se wial Israel, tiana sangeng. El oayapa mutawauk in moul oana sie mutan kosro,
9Because she took her prostitution lightly, the land was polluted, and she committed adultery with stones and with wood.
9ac tia pacna mwekin kutu srisrik. El akfohkfokyela acn uh, ac orek kosro ke el alu nu ke eot ac sak.
10Yet for all this her treacherous sister, Judah, has not returned to me with her whole heart, but only in pretense,” says the LORD.
10Tukun ma inge nukewa, Judah, tamtael kutasrik se wial Israel, el orek fwacfa mu el foloko nu yuruk, sruhk tia pwaye insial. Nga, LEUM GOD , pa fahk ma inge.”
11The LORD said to me, “Backsliding Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.
11Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik lah Israel el finne forla lukel, pwayeiya uh el wo lukel Judah, su kutasrik.
12Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, ‘Return, you backsliding Israel,’ says the LORD; ‘I will not look in anger on you, for I am merciful,’ says the LORD. ‘I will not keep anger forever.
12El fahk nu sik in som ac fahkak kas inge nu epang, “Israel, sifilpa foloko nu yuruk, kom finne tia pwaye nu sik. Nga pakoten ac nga fah tia kasrkusrak. Nga ac fah tia sruokya mulat luk nwe tok.
13Only acknowledge your iniquity, that you have transgressed against the LORD your God, and have scattered your ways to the strangers under every green tree, and you have not obeyed my voice,’” says the LORD.
13Ma sefanna, kom in fahkak lah oasr ma koluk lom ke kom lain LEUM GOD lom. Fahkak lah ye sak folfol nukewa kom sang lungse lom nu sin god lun mutunfacl saya, ac lah kom tia akos ma sap luk. Nga, LEUM GOD , pa fahk ma inge.
14“Return, backsliding children,” says the LORD, “for I am a husband to you. I will take one of you from a city, and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion.
14“Foloko, kowos su tia pwaye nu sik. Kowos ma luk. Nga ac eis sie suwos liki kais sie siti srisrik, ac luo suwos liki kais sie sruf, ac nga fah folokinkowosme nu Fineol Zion.
15I will give you shepherds according to my heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.
15Nga fah sot nu suwos mwet kol su akosyu, ac elos fah kol kowos ke lalmwetmet ac etauk.
16It will come to pass, when you are multiplied and increased in the land in those days,” says the LORD, “they will no longer say, ‘the ark of the LORD’s covenant!’ It will not come to mind. They won’t remember it. They won’t miss it, nor will another be made.
16Na ke kowos ac puseni in facl sac, mwet uh fah tia sifil kaskas ke Tuptup in Wuleang luk. Elos fah tia sifil nunku kac ku esam. Elos ac tia pac enenu, ku nunku in orala pac sie.
17At that time they will call Jerusalem ‘The LORD’s Throne;’ and all the nations will be gathered to it, to the LORD’s name, to Jerusalem. They will no longer walk after the stubbornness of their evil heart.
17In pacl sac, Jerusalem ac fah pangpang ‘Tron Lun LEUM GOD ,’ ac mutunfacl nukewa fah tukeni we in alu nu sik. Elos fah tia sifilpa fahsr tukun inse likkeke ac koluk lalos.
18In those days the house of Judah will walk with the house of Israel, and they will come together out of the land of the north to the land that I gave for an inheritance to your fathers.
18Mwet Israel ac mwet Judah ac fah tukeni foloko liki sruoh lalos in acn epang, ac sifil foloko nu ke facl se nga tuh sang nu sin papa matu tomowos tuh in mwe usru lalos nwe tok.”
19“But I said, ‘How I desire to put you among the children, and give you a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the armies of the nations!’ and I said, ‘You shall call me “My Father”, and shall not turn away from following me.’
19LEUM GOD El fahk, “Israel, nga kena eis kowos oana tulik nutik Ac asot nu suwos sie facl insewowo, Su sie mwe usru wolana inmasrlon mutunfacl nukewa. Nga kena kowos in pangonyu papa, Ac tia sifil forla likiyu.
20“Surely as a wife treacherously departs from her husband, so you have dealt treacherously with me, house of Israel,” says the LORD.
20Tusruktu kowos tiana pwaye nu sik, Oana sie mutan su tia pwaye nu sin mukul tumal. Nga, LEUM GOD , pa fahk ma inge.”
21A voice is heard on the bare heights, the weeping and the petitions of the children of Israel; because they have perverted their way, they have forgotten the LORD their God.
21Sie pusra lohngyuk yen turangang fin inging uh: Pusren tung ac kwafe lun mwet Israel Mweyen elos moulkin moul koluk, Ac mulkunla LEUM GOD lalos.
22Return, you backsliding children, and I will heal your backsliding. “Behold, we have come to you; for you are the LORD our God.
22Foloko, kowos nukewa su forla liki LEUM GOD . Nga fah unwe kowos ac oru kowos in pwayena nu sik. Kowos fahk, “Aok, kut tuku nu yurum, mweyen kom LEUM GOD lasr.
23Truly help from the hills, the tumult on the mountains, is in vain. Truly the salvation of Israel is in the LORD our God.
23Wanginna kasreyasr ke kut alu nu sin god lun mwet pegan fin mangon inging uh. Kasru nu sin Israel tuku sin LEUM GOD lasr mukena.
24But the shameful thing has devoured the labor of our fathers from our youth, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
24Tusruktu ke kut alu nu sel Baal, god lun mwekin, wanginla ma nukewa mwet matu lasr tuh kemkatu kac in pacl meet ah — un sheep ac un cow, oayapa tulik mukul ac tulik mutan.
25Let us lie down in our shame, and let our confusion cover us; for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even to this day. We have not obeyed the LORD our God’s voice.”
25Lela kut in oan in mwekin lasr, ac lela mwe mwekin lasr in afinkuti. Kut, ac mwet matu lasr, orekma koluk pacl nukewa lain LEUM GOD lasr. Kut tiana akos ma sap lal.”
