< Jeremiah 27 >
1 At the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD.
Tia paht tukun Zedekiah wen natul Josiah el tokosrala lun Judah, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik
2 This is what the LORD said to me: “Make for yourself a yoke out of leather straps and put it on your neck.
ngan orala soko mwe utuk ke sak ac kapriya ke kulun kosro ac filiya fin kwawuk.
3 Send word to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, and Sidon through the envoys who have come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik in supwala kas nu sin tokosra lun Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, ac Sidon, sin mwet fulat aolyalos su tuku nu Jerusalem in sonol Tokosra Zedekiah.
4 Give them a message from the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, to relay to their masters:
LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, El fahk nu sik in sapkin nu selos tuh elos in fahk nu sin tokosra lalos lah LEUM GOD El fahk ouinge:
5 By My great power and outstretched arm, I made the earth and the men and beasts on the face of it, and I give it to whom I please.
“Ke ku lulap ac po kulana luk, nga orala faclu, mwet uh, ac ma orakrak nukewa su oasr faclu, na nga sang nu sin kutena mwet su nga sulela.
6 So now I have placed all these lands under the authority of My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. I have even made the beasts of the field subject to him.
Nga pa sang mutunfacl inge nukewa nu ye ku lun mwet kulansap luk, Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia, ac nga oru tuh finne kosro lemnak uh ac wi pac orekma nu sel.
7 All nations will serve him and his son and grandson, until the time of his own land comes; then many nations and great kings will enslave him.
Mutunfacl nukewa fah kulansupwal, ac elos fah oayapa kulansupu wen natul ac wen nutin natul, nwe ke sun pacl se mutunfacl sel uh ac musalla. Na mutunfacl sel ac fah kulansupu mutunfacl kulana ac tokosra fulat lalos.
8 As for the nation or kingdom that does not serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and does not place its neck under his yoke, I will punish that nation by sword and famine and plague, declares the LORD, until I have destroyed it by his hand.
Tusruktu fin oasr kutena mutunfacl ku tokosrai su tia akos sap lal, na nga ac kai mutunfacl sacn ke mweun, sracl, ac mas lulap, nwe ke nga lela Nebuchadnezzar elan kunauselos nufon.
9 But as for you, do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your interpreters of dreams, your mediums, or your sorcerers who declare, ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon.’
Nik kowos porongo mwet palu lowos, ku kutena mwet su fahk mu el ku in palye pacl fahsru uh — ke mweme, ku ke lolngok yurin mwet misa, ku ke inutnut. Elos nukewa fahk mu kowos in tia kulansupu tokosra lun Babylonia.
10 For they prophesy to you a lie that will serve to remove you from your land; I will banish you and you will perish.
Elos kiapwekowos, ac elos ac oru in utukla kowos nu yen loesla liki acn suwos. Nga fah liskowosla, ac kowos fah kunausyukla.
11 But the nation that will put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will leave in its own land, to cultivate it and reside in it, declares the LORD.”
Tusruktu fin oasr kutena mutunfacl su akpusiselyal nu sin tokosra Babylonia ac orekma nu sel, na nga ac lela elan mutana in facl sel sifacna ac imai. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
12 And to Zedekiah king of Judah I spoke the same message: “Put your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon; serve him and his people, and live!
Nga tuh fahk oapana nu sel Tokosra Zedekiah lun Judah: “Eiskowosyang nu sin tokosra Babylonia. Kulansupwal ac mwet lal, ac kowos fah moul.
13 Why should you and your people die by sword and famine and plague, as the LORD has decreed against any nation that does not serve the king of Babylon?
Efu ku kom ac mwet lom in misa ke mweun, ku ke sracl, ku ke mas upa? Pa ingan ma LEUM GOD El fahk mu ac sikyak nu sin kutena mutunfacl ma tia fungyang nu sin tokosra lun Babylonia.
14 Do not listen to the words of the prophets who say, ‘You must not serve the king of Babylon,’ for they are prophesying to you a lie.
Nimet porongo mwet palu su fahk mu kowos in tia filikowosyang nu sel. Elos kiapwekowos.
15 For I have not sent them, declares the LORD, and yet they are prophesying falsely in My name; therefore I will banish you, and you will perish—you and the prophets who prophesy to you.”
LEUM GOD sifacna El fahk mu El tiana supwalos, ac elos kikiap nu suwos Inel. Ke ma inge El fah liskowosla, ac kowos ac fah anwuki — kowos ac mwet palu su fahk kas kikiap inge nu suwos.”
16 Then I said to the priests and to all this people, “This is what the LORD says: Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, ‘Look, very soon now the articles from the house of the LORD will be brought back from Babylon.’ They are prophesying to you a lie.
Na nga fahkang nu sin mwet tol ac mwet uh lah LEUM GOD El fahk: “Nimet porongo mwet palu su fahk mu ma saok lun Tempul fah folokinyukme liki acn Babylonia ke pacl na sa. Elos kikiap nu suwos.
17 Do not listen to them. Serve the king of Babylon and live! Why should this city become a ruin?
Nimet porongalos! Filikowosyang nu inpoun tokosra Babylonia ac kowos fah moul! Efu ku siti se inge in sie acn oan musalla?
18 If they are indeed prophets and the word of the LORD is with them, let them now plead with the LORD of Hosts that the articles remaining in the house of the LORD, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, not be taken to Babylon.
Elos fin mwet palu pwaye, ac fin kas luk pa oasr selos, lela elos in siyuk sik, LEUM GOD Kulana, in tia fuhlela ma saok lula in Tempul ac inkul fulat lun tokosra, in utukla nu Babylonia.” (
19 For this is what the LORD of Hosts says about the pillars, the sea, the bases, and the rest of the articles that remain in this city,
Tuh pa inge ma LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk ke sru, ke tacng bronze, ke mwe wiwa, ac kutu pac ma saok lula in Tempul.
20 which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take when he carried Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon, along with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem.
Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia el tuh tia usla ma inge ke pacl se el usalla Tokosra Jehoiachin lun Judah, wen natul Jehoiakim, ac mwet leum nukewa lun Judah ac Jerusalem, liki Jerusalem nu in sruoh in acn Babylonia.)
21 Yes, this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says about the articles that remain in the house of the LORD, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem:
“Lohng ma nga LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, fahk ke ma saok lula in Tempul, oayapa in lohm sin tokosra in acn Jerusalem:
22 ‘They will be carried to Babylon and will remain there until the day I attend to them again,’ declares the LORD. ‘Then I will bring them back and restore them to this place.’”
Ma inge ac fah utukla nu Babylonia, na ac fah oan we nwe ke pacl se nga sifil lohang nu kac. Toko nga fah folokonma ac filiya in acn se inge. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
