Jeremias 21
1 THE WORD THAT CAME FROM THE LORD TO JEREMIAS, WHEN KING SEDEKIAS SENT TO HIM PASCHOR THE SON OF MELCHIAS, AND SOPHONIAS SON OF BASAEAS, THE PRIEST, SAYING,
Tokosra Zedekiah lun Judah el supwalma Pashhur wen natul Malchiah, ac mwet tol Zephaniah wen natul Maaseiah, nu yuruk. Elos use enenu se inge:
2 Enquire of the Lord for us; for the king of Babylon has risen up against us; if the Lord will do according to all his wonderful works, and [the king] shall depart from us.
“Nunak munas, pre nu sin LEUM GOD kacsr, mweyen Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia ac mwet mweun lal elos kuhlusya siti uh. Sahp LEUM GOD El ac oru sie mwenmen lal ke sripasr, ac ukwalak Nebuchadnezzar liki kut.”
3 And Jeremias said to them, Thus shall ye say to Sedekias king of Juda,
Na LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik, ac nga fahk nu sin mwet ma supweyuku nu yuruk
4 Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I [will] turn back the weapons of war wherewith ye fight against the Chaldeans that have besieged you from outside the wall, and I will gather them into the midst of this city.
tuh elos in fahk nu sel Zedekiah lah LEUM GOD lun Israel El fahk, “Zedekiah, nga ac kutangla mwet lom su mweun lain tokosra lun Babylonia ac mwet lal. Nga fah elosak kufwen mwe mweun nutin mwet lom infulwen siti uh.
5 And I will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, with wrath and great anger.
Nga fah sifacna mweun lain kom ke ku luk nufon, ac ke mulat ac kasrkusrak luk nufon.
6 And I will smite all the dwellers in this city, [both] men and cattle, with grievous pestilence: and they shall die.
Nga fah onela ma nukewa su moul in siti se inge: kewana mwet ac ma orakrak ac fah misa ke sie mas upa.
7 And after this, thus saith the Lord; I will give Sedekias king of Juda, and his servants, and the people that is left in this city from the pestilence, and from the famine, and from the sword, into the hands of their enemies, that seek their lives: and they shall cut them in pieces with the edge of the sword: I will not spare them, and I will not have compassion upon them.
A kom, ac mwet pwapa fulat lom, ac mwet su painmoulla ke mweun, sracl, ac mas — nga ac fah lela kowos nukewa in sruoh sel Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar ac mwet lokoalok lowos su lungse unikowosi. Nebachudnezzar el ac fah unikowosi nukewa. El ac tiana nunak munas ku pakomuta kutena suwos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
8 And thou shalt say to this people, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I have set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik nga in fahkang nu sin mwet uh, “Kowos in porongo! Nga, LEUM GOD, fah sot nu suwos in sulela inmasrlon inkanek nu ke moul ac inkanek nu ke misa.
9 He that remains in this city shall die by the sword, and by famine: but he that goes forth to advance to the Chaldeans that have besieged you, shall live, and his life shall be to him for a spoil, and he shall live.
Kutena mwet su muta in siti uh ac fah misa ke mweun ku ke masrinsral ku ke mas. Tusruktu kutena mwet su illa liki siti uh, ac sifacna eisalosyang nu inpoun mwet Babylonia su kuhlusya siti uh, ac fah moul.
10 For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good: it shall be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall consume it with fire.
Nga sulela ku sik lah nga fah tia molela siti se inge, a nga fah kunausla. Ac itukyang nu inpoun tokosra lun Babylonia, ac el ac fah esukak nwe ke apatla. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
11 O house of the king of Juda, hear ye the word of the Lord.
Fahk nu sin sou oaleum lun Judah: Lohng kas lun LEUM GOD.
12 O house of David, thus saith the Lord; Judge judgment in the morning, and act rightly, and rescue the spoiled one from the hand of him that wrongs him, lest mine anger be kindled like fire, and it burn, and there be none to quench [it].
Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu suwos su fwilin tulik natul David: “Liyaung tuh nununku suwohs in orek ke len nukewa. Karinganang mwet ma pisreyukla ma la liki inpoun mwet pisrapasr. Kowos fin tia, na kasrkusrak luk ac fah tayak oana sie e su koflana kuniyukla.
13 Behold, I am against thee that dwellest in the valley of Sor; in the plain country, [even against] them that say, Who shall alarm us? or who shall enter into our habitation?
Mwet Jerusalem, kowos muta ke sie acn fulat, lucng liki infahlfal uh, oana sie eot lulap tuyak yen tupasrpasr. Tusruktu nga fah mweun lain kowos. Kowos fahk mu wangin mwet ku in mweuni kowos, ku kunausla pot ku lowos ac utyak nu in siti uh.
14 And I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.
Nga fah kalyei kowos fal nu ke orekma koluk lowos. Nga fah esukak inkul fulat sin tokosra lowos, ac e uh fah esukak ma nukewa ma oan raunela. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
