Jeremiah 34
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, all his army, all the earthly kingdoms under his control, and all the other nations were fighting against Jerusalem and all its surrounding cities.
LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ke pacl se Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia ac un mwet mweun lal, wi kasru lun mutunfacl nukewa ac kain in mwet nukewa su oan ye nununku lal, elos tuh mweuni Jerusalem ac inkul nukewa ma apkuran.
2 The LORD, the God of Israel, told Jeremiah to go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah and tell him that this is what the LORD says: “Behold, I am about to deliver this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it down.
LEUM GOD lun Israel El tuh fahk nu sik in som nu yorol Tokosra Zedekiah lun Judah, ac fahk, “Nga, LEUM GOD, fah sang siti se inge nu inpoun tokosra lun Babylonia, ac el ac furreak.
3 And you yourself will not escape his grasp, but will surely be captured and delivered into his hand. You will see the king of Babylon eye to eye and speak with him face to face; and you will go to Babylon.
Kom ac fah tia kaingla. Ac fah sruoh kom ac utukla kom nu yorol. Komtal ac fah ngetani nu sie, ac kom fah sifacna kaskas nu sel, na toko kom fah som nu Babylonia.
4 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah. This is what the LORD says concerning you: You will not die by the sword;
Zedekiah, porongo ma nga fahk keim uh. Kom ac fah tia anwuki ke mweun.
5 you will die in peace. As spices were burned for your fathers, the former kings who preceded you, so people will burn spices for you and lament, ‘Alas, O master!’ For I Myself have spoken this word, declares the LORD.”
Kom fah misa in misla, ac oana ke mwet uh tuh furreak mwe keng ke pacl elos pikinya papa matu nukewa tomom su tuh tokosra mwet liki kom, in ouiya sacna elos fah furreak pac mwe keng keim. Elos fah mwemelil keim ac fahk, ‘We! Tokosra lasr el misa!’ Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
6 In Jerusalem, then, Jeremiah the prophet relayed all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah
Na nga sang pweng se inge nu sel Tokosra Zedekiah in Jerusalem
7 as the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and the remaining cities of Judah—against Lachish and Azekah. For these were the only fortified cities remaining in Judah.
ke pacl se un mwet mweun lun tokosra Babylonia elos mweuni siti sac. Mwet mweun elos oayapa mweuni Lachish ac Azekah, su pwayena siti lula ma potiyukyak in acn Judah.
8 After King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem to proclaim liberty, the word came to Jeremiah from the LORD
Tokosra Zedekiah ac mwet Jerusalem elos insesela in aksukosokye
9 that each man should free his Hebrew slaves, both male and female, and no one should hold his fellow Jew in bondage.
mwet kohs Hebrew lalos, kewana mukul ac mutan, tuh in fah wangin mwet Israel akkohsyeyuk sin sie pac mwet Israel.
10 So all the officials and all the people who entered into this covenant agreed that they would free their menservants and maidservants and no longer hold them in bondage. They obeyed and released them,
Mwet nukewa, wi mwet kol lalos, insesela in tulala mwet kohs lalos ac tia sifilpa akkohsyelos. Ouinge elos aksukosokyalosla.
11 but later they changed their minds and took back the menservants and maidservants they had freed, and they forced them to become slaves again.
Tusruktu tok elos aolla nunak lalos, folokunulosme, ac sifilpa akkohsyelos.
12 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Na LEUM GOD,
13 “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I made a covenant with your forefathers when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, saying:
God lun Israel, El tuh fahk nu sik in fahk nu sin mwet uh: “Nga orala sie wuleang yurin mwet matu lowos pacl se nga usalosme liki facl Egypt, ac aksukosokyalosla liki moul in mwet kohs. Nga fahkang nu selos lah
14 Every seventh year, each of you must free his Hebrew brother who has sold himself to you. He may serve you six years, but then you must let him go free. But your fathers did not listen or incline their ear.
yac akitkosr nukewa elos in tulala kutena mwet kohs Hebrew su kulansupwalos ke yac onkosr. Tusruktu papa matu tomowos tuh tiana lohma nu sik ku lipsre ma nga fahk ah.
15 Recently you repented and did what pleased Me; each of you proclaimed freedom for his neighbor. You made a covenant before Me in the house that bears My Name.
Na inmasrlon len na pu somla, kowos aolla nunak lowos ac oru ma nga insewowo kac. Kowos nukewa insesela in fuhlela mwet Israel wiowos in sukosok, ac kowos orala sie wuleang ye mutuk in Tempul, yen mwet uh alu nu sik we.
16 But now you have changed your minds and profaned My name. Each of you has taken back the menservants and maidservants whom you had set at liberty to go wherever they wanted, and you have again forced them to be your slaves.
Na kowos sifilpa aolla nunak lowos ac pilesreyula. Kowos nukewa folokonma mwet kohs lowos su kowos tuh tulala oana ma elos lungse, ac kowos sifilpa akkohsyelos.
17 Therefore this is what the LORD says: You have not obeyed Me; you have not proclaimed freedom, each man for his brother and for his neighbor. So now I proclaim freedom for you, declares the LORD—freedom to fall by sword, by plague, and by famine! I will make you a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth.
Ke ma inge nga, LEUM GOD, fahk lah ke sripen kowos seakosyu ac tiana sang tuh mwet Israel wiowos in sukosokla, na nga fah sot sie sukosok nu suwos. Kowos sukosok in misa ke mweun, mas upa, ac masrinsracl. Nga fah oru mutunfacl nukewa fin faclu in sangengla ke ma nga ac oru nu suwos.
18 And those who have transgressed My covenant and have not fulfilled the terms of the covenant they made before Me, I will treat like the calf they cut in two in order to pass between its pieces.
Mweyen kowos likinsai wuleang inmasrlosr, ac tia akpwayeye kas in wuleang ma kowos oru ye mutuk, nga fah oru nu suwos oana ke kowos fulungya cow fusr soko, ac fahsr inmasrlon ip luo kac in akkeye wuleang lowos.
19 The officials of Judah and Jerusalem, the court officials, the priests, and all the people of the land who passed between the pieces of the calf,
Mwet fulat lun Judah, mwet fulat lun Jerusalem, mwet eunuch, mwet tol, ac mwet nukewa in facl sac su wi fahsr inmasrlon ip luo ke cow fusr soko ah,
20 I will deliver into the hands of their enemies who seek their lives. Their corpses will become food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth.
nga ac fah eisalosyang nu sin mwet lokoalok lalos ac nu selos su suk in onelosi. Mano misa lalos ac fah mongola sin won ac kosro in ima uh.
21 And I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah and his officials into the hands of their enemies who seek their lives, to the army of the king of Babylon that had withdrawn from you.
Nga fah oayapa eisalang Tokosra Zedekiah lun Judah, ac mwet fulat lal, nu selos su kena onelosi. Nga fah eisalosyang nu inpoun mwet mweun lun Babylonia, su tui in mweuni kowos in pacl se inge.
22 Behold, I am going to give the command, declares the LORD, and I will bring them back to this city. They will fight against it, capture it, and burn it down. And I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.”
Nga fah sap elos in foloko nu in siti se inge. Elos fah mweuni, sruokya, ac esukak. Nga fah oru siti srisrik lun Judah in oana acn mwesis se su wangin mwet muta we. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
