Jeremias 38
1 At that time, saith the Lord, I will be a God to the family of Israel, and they shall be to me a people.
Shephatiah wen natul Mattan, ac Gedaliah wen natul Pashhur, ac Jehucal wen natul Shelemiah, ac Pashhur wen natul Malchiah, elos lohngak lah nga fahk nu sin mwet uh lah
2 Thus saith the Lord, I found him warm in the wilderness with them that were slain with the sword: go ye and destroy not Israel.
LEUM GOD El fahk mu, “Kutena mwet su mutana in siti uh fah misa ke mweun ku ke masrinsral ku ke mas upa. A kutena mwet su illa ac sifacna eisalosyang nu inpoun mwet Babylonia fah tia anwuki — elos ac mukaimtalla tuh elos ac moul.”
3 The Lord appeared to him from afar, [saying], I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore have I drawn thee in compassion.
Nga oayapa fahk nu selos lah LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah sang siti se inge nu inpoun mwet mweun lun Babylonia, ac elos fah eisla.”
4 For I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt yet take thy timbrel, and go forth with the party of them that make merry.
Na mwet leum elos som nu yorol tokosra ac fahk, “Enenu mwet se inge in anwuki. Ke el kaskas ouinge el akmunasye insien mwet mweun in siti uh, ac el oayapa akmunasye insien mwet nukewa ma lula in siti uh. El tia srike elan kasru mwet uh; el lungsena fahk ma in akkolukyalos.”
5 For ye have planted vineyards on the mountains of Samaria: plant ye, and praise.
Na Tokosra Zedekiah el topuk, “Wona. Oru ma kowos lungse oru nu sel an. Nga ac tia ikolkowosi.”
6 For it is a day when those that plead on the mountains of Ephraim shall call, [saying], Arise ye, and go up to Sion to the Lord your God.
Ouinge elos usyula ac kukinyuwi ke sucl nu in lufin kof se lal Fisrak Malchiah, ma oan inkul sin tokosra. Wangin kof in luf sac, a fohk furarrar na, ac nga tili nu loac.
7 For thus saith the Lord to Jacob; Rejoice ye, and exult over the head of the nations: make proclamation, and praise ye: say, The Lord has delivered his people, the remnant of Israel.
Ebedmelech, sie mwet Ethiopia ac el sie eunuch su orekma inkul fulat sin tokosra, el lohng lah elos filiyuwi in lufin kof uh. In pacl sac tokosra el muta ke nien nununku ke Mutunpot Benjamin.
8 Behold, I bring them from the north, and will gather them from the end of the earth to the feast of the passover: and [the people] shall beget a great multitude, and they shall return hither.
Ouinge Ebedmelech el som nu we ac fahk nu sel tokosra,
9 They went forth with weeping, and I will bring them back with consolation, causing them to lodge by the channels of waters in a straight way, and they shall not err in it: for I am become a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first-born.
“Leum Fulat luk, arulana koluk ma mwet inge oru ke elos kukinilya mwet palu Jeremiah nu in lufin kof sac. El ac misa we ke masrinsral, mweyen wanginla mongo in siti uh.”
10 Hear the words of the Lord, ye nations, and proclaim [them] to the islands afar off; say, He that scattered Israel will also gather him, and keep him as one that feeds his flock.
Na tokosra el sapkin nu sel Ebedmelech elan eis tolu mwet in welul amakinyuyak liki luf sac meet liki nga misa.
11 For the Lord has ransomed Jacob, he has rescued him out of the hand of them [that were] stronger than he.
Ouinge Ebedmelech el us mwet inge som nu nien filma ke lohm sin tokosra, ac eis kutu mahn nuknuk ac kwiya ke sucl nu yuruk.
12 And they shall come, and shall rejoice in the mount of Sion, and shall come to the good things of the Lord, [even] to a land of corn, and wine, and fruits, and cattle, and sheep: and their soul shall be as a fruitful tree; and they shall hunger no more.
El sap nga in sang mahn nuknuk ah nu ye pouk, sucl ah in tia kanteyuwi. Nga oru oana,
13 Then shall the virgins rejoice in the assembly of youth, and the old men shall rejoice; and I will turn their mourning into joy, and will make them merry.
ac elos amakinyuyak liki luf sac. Toko elos sap nga muta ke kalkal lun mwet san ke inkul lun tokosra.
14 I will expand and cheer with wine the soul of the priests the sons of Levi, and my people shall be satisfied with my good things: thus saith the Lord.
Ke sie pac pacl ah, Tokosra Zedekiah el sap in utuku nga nu yorol, ke nien utyak se aktolu nu in Tempul, ac el fahk, “Oasr ma nga ke siyuk sum, na kom in fahkma nufon pwayeiya uh.”
15 A voice was heard in Rama, of lamentation, and of weeping, and wailing; Rachel would not cease weeping for her children, because they are not.
Na nga topuk, “Nga fin fahkot in suwohs, kom ac uniyuwi. Ac nga finne sot kas in kasrekom, kom ac tiana lohang nu kac.”
16 Thus saith the Lord; Let thy voice cease from weeping, and thine eyes from thy tears: for their is a reward for thy works; and they shall return from the land of [thine] enemies.
Na Tokosra Zedekiah el wulema nu sik in lukma, “Nga fulahk ke Inen God moul, God se su ase moul nu sesr, lah nga fah tia unikomi ku eiskomyang nu inpoun mwet ma kena unikomi.”
17 [There shall be] an abiding [home] for thy children.
Na nga fahkang nu sel Zedekiah lah LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, El fahk, “Kom fin sifacna eiskomyang nu sin Tokosra Babylonia ac mwet lal, kom ac tia misa, ac siti se inge ac tia isisyak. Kom, ac sou lom kewa, ac fah moul.
18 I have heard the sound of Ephraim lamenting, [and saying], Thou hast chastened me, and I was chastened; I as a calf was not [willingly] taught: turn thou me, and I shall turn; for thou [art] the Lord my God.
Tusruktu kom fin tia eiskomyang nu selos, na siti se inge ac fah itukyang nu inpaolos, ac elos ac fah esukak, na kom ac tia ku in kaingla lukelos.”
19 For after my captivity I repented; and after I knew, I groaned for the day of shame, and shewed thee that I bore reproach from my youth.
Tusruktu tokosra el fahk, “Nga sangeng sin mwet lasr ma som liki kut nu yurin mwet Babylonia. Sahp ac ku in itukyang nga nu selos ac elos ac akkeokyeyu.”
20 Ephraim is a beloved son, a pleasing child to me: for because my words are in him, I will surely remember him: therefore I made haste [to help] him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the Lord.
Na nga fahk, “Kom ac fah tia itukyang nu inpaolos. Nga kwafe sum kom in akos kas lun LEUM GOD; na ma nukewa ac fah wo nu sum, ac kom ac moulna.
21 Prepare thyself, O Sion; execute vengeance; look to thy ways: return, O virgin of Israel, by the way by which thou wentest, return mourning to thy cities.
Tusruktu LEUM GOD El akkalemye nu sik in sie aruruma ma ac sikyak kom fin srunga eiskomyang nu selos.
22 How long, O disgraced daughter, wilt thou turn away? for the Lord has created safety for a new plantation: men shall go about in safety.
In aruruma sac nga liye mutan lula nukewa inkul fulat sin tokosra Judah, kokola elos nu yurin mwet fulat lun Tokosra Babylonia. Porongo ma elos fahk ke elos fahla: ‘Mwet kawuk saok lun tokosra kifasulla, Elos toanya ma el nunku. Ac inge, ke nial tilla in fohk furarrar, Mwet kawuk lal elos som lukel.’”
23 For thus saith the Lord; They shall yet speak this word in the land of Juda, and in the cities thereof, when I shall turn his captivity; blessed be the Lord on his righteous holy mountain!
Na nga tafwela ac fahk, “Mutan kiom nukewa ac tulik nutum nukewa ac fah utukla nu yurin mwet Babylonia, ac kom sifacna fah tia ku in kaingla lukelos. Kom ac fah utukla mwet kapir sin tokosra lun Babylonia, ac siti se inge ac fah isisyak nwe ke apatla.”
24 And there shall be dwellers in the cities of Juda, and in all his land, together with the husbandman, and [the shepherd] shall go forth with the flock.
Zedekiah el topuk, “Nimet srumun nu sin mwet saya ma kut sramsram kac inge, na kom fah tia fosrnga ke moul lom.
25 For I have saturated every thirsting soul, and filled every hungry soul.
Mwet leum inge fin lohng lah nga sramsram nu sum, elos ac tuku siyuk sum lah mea kut srumun ah. Elos ac wuleot mu elos ac tia unikomi kom fin fahkang ma nukewa nu selos.
26 Therefore I awake, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet to me.
Fahk na nu selos mu kom kwafe nga in tia folokinkomla nu in presin in lohm sel Jonathan, mweyen kom ac tuh misa we.”
27 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Juda with the seed of man, and the seed of beast.
Na mwet leum nukewa elos tuku siyuk sik, na nga fahk oana ma tokosra el fahk nga in tuh fahk ah. Wangin ma elos ku in oru, mweyen wangin mwet lohng sramsram se lasr ah.
28 And it shall come to pass, that as I watched over them, to pull down, and to afflict, so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the Lord.
Na filiyuki nga in kalkal lun mwet san ke inkul sin tokosra nwe ke na len se ma sruoh acn Jerusalem.
29 In those days they shall certainly not say, The fathers ate a sour grape, and the children's teeth were set on edge.
30 But every one shall die in his own sin; and the teeth of him that eats the sour grape shall be set on edge.
31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Juda:
32 not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day when I took hold of their hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; for they abode not in my covenant, and I disregarded them, saith the Lord.
33 For this is my covenant which I will make with the house of Israel; after those days, saith the Lord, I will surely put my laws into their mind, and write them on their hearts; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.
34 And they shall not at all teach every one his [fellow] citizen, and every one his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them: for I will be merciful to their iniquities, and their sins I will remember no more.
35 Thus saith the Lord, who gives the sun for a light by day, the moon and the stars for a light by night, and [makes] a roaring in the sea, so that the waves thereof roar; the Lord Almighty is his name:
36 if these ordinances cease from before me, saith the Lord, then shall the family of Israel cease to be a nation before me forever.
37 Though the sky should be raised to a [greater] height, saith the Lord, and though the ground of the earth should be sunk [lower] beneath, yet I will not cast off the family of Israel, saith the Lord, for all that they have done.
38 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when the city shall be built to the Lord from the tower of Anameel to the gate of the corner.
39 And the measurement of it shall proceed in front of them as far as the hills of Gareb, and it shall be compassed with a circular wall of choice stones.
40 And all the Asaremoth even to Nachal Kedron, as far as the corner of the horse-gate eastward, shall be holiness to the Lord; and it shall not fail any more, and shall not be destroyed for ever.
