Jeremiah 27
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:
Tia paht tukun Zedekiah wen natul Josiah el tokosrala lun Judah, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik
2 “Thus says the Lord to me: Make bands and chains for yourself. And you shall place them on your neck.
ngan orala soko mwe utuk ke sak ac kapriya ke kulun kosro ac filiya fin kwawuk.
3 And you shall send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the sons of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who came to Jerusalem, to Zedekiah, the 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 And you shall instruct them to say to their masters: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: You shall say these things to your 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 I made the earth, and the men and beasts which are upon the face of the earth, by my great strength and by my outstretched arm. And I have given it to whomever it was pleasing in my eyes.
“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 And now, therefore, I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant. Moreover, I have given to him also the beasts of the field, so that they may serve 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 And all the nations will serve him, and his son, and his son’s son. Many nations and great kings will serve him, until the time arrives for him and his land.
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 But the nation or kingdom that will not serve Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and whoever will not bend his neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, I will visit upon that nation with the sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, says the Lord, until I consume them 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 Therefore, you should not choose to listen to your own prophets, and diviners, and dreamers, and soothsayers, and sorcerers, who say to you: ‘You shall 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 lies to you, so that they may cause you to be far from your own country, and may cast you out, and may cause you to perish.
Elos kiapwekowos, ac elos ac oru in utukla kowos nu yen loesla liki acn suwos. Nga fah liskowosla, ac kowos fah kunausyukla.
11 Furthermore, the nation which will bend its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and which will serve him, I will permit them to remain in their own land, says the Lord. And they will cultivate it, and they will live in it.”
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 I spoke to Zedekiah, the king of Judah, according to all these words, saying: “Subject your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and you will 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 suffer death, you and your people, by the sword, and famine, and pestilence, just as the Lord has spoken against any nation that refuses to 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 choose to listen to the words of the prophets, saying to you: ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon.’ For they are speaking a lie to you.
Nimet porongo mwet palu su fahk mu kowos in tia filikowosyang nu sel. Elos kiapwekowos.
15 For I have not sent them, says the Lord. And they prophesy falsely in my name, so that they may cast you out, and so that you may perish, both you and the prophets who make predictions for 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 I spoke also to the priests and to this people, saying: “Thus says the Lord: Do not choose to listen to the words of your prophets, who prophesy to you, saying: ‘Behold, the vessels of the Lord will now quickly be returned from Babylon.’ For 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 Therefore, do not choose to listen to them, but instead, serve the king of Babylon, so that you may live. Why should this city be given over into desolation?
Nimet porongalos! Filikowosyang nu inpoun tokosra Babylonia ac kowos fah moul! Efu ku siti se inge in sie acn oan musalla?
18 But if they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is in them, then let them intercede before the Lord of hosts, so that the vessels that were left behind in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, may not go 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 thus says the Lord of hosts to the pillars, and to the sea of brass, and to the bases, and to the remainder of the vessels that have been left behind 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, the king of Babylon, did not take when he carried away Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, from Jerusalem into Babylon, with all the nobility 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 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to the vessels that were left behind in the house of the Lord and in the house of the king of Judah and 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 shall be carried away to Babylon, and there they shall be, until the day of their visitation, says the Lord. And then I will cause them to be carried back, and to be restored 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.”
