< Jeremiah 34 >
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and his entire army, and all the kingdoms of the earth that were under the authority of his hand, and all the people were making war against Jerusalem and against all of its cities, saying:
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 “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Go, and speak to Zedekiah, the king of Judah. And you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will deliver this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.
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 will not escape from his hand. Instead, you will be overtaken and captured, and you will be delivered into his hand. And your eyes will see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth will speak with your mouth, and you will enter into 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 Even so, listen to the word of the Lord, Zedekiah, king of Judah: Thus says the Lord to you: You will not die by the sword.
Zedekiah, porongo ma nga fahk keim uh. Kom ac fah tia anwuki ke mweun.
5 Instead, you will die in peace. And, in accord with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so will they burn you. And they will mourn you, saying: ‘Alas, lord!’ For I have spoken the word, says 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 And Jeremiah, the prophet, spoke all these words to Zedekiah, the king of Judah, in Jerusalem.
Na nga sang pweng se inge nu sel Tokosra Zedekiah in Jerusalem
7 And the army of the king of Babylon fought against Jerusalem and against all the cities of Judah that remained, against Lachish and against Azekah. For only these remained out of the cities of Judah that were fortified cities.
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 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after king Zedekiah had struck a pact with all the people in Jerusalem, proclaiming
Tokosra Zedekiah ac mwet Jerusalem elos insesela in aksukosokye
9 that each one should release his man servant, and each one his woman servant, as a free Hebrew man and a free Hebrew woman, and that they should never be rulers over them, that is, over the Jews, their own brothers.
mwet kohs Hebrew lalos, kewana mukul ac mutan, tuh in fah wangin mwet Israel akkohsyeyuk sin sie pac mwet Israel.
10 Then all the leaders and all the people who entered into the pact, heard that each one should release his man servant, and each one his woman servant, to be free, and that they should no longer rule over them. Therefore, they listened, and they released them.
Mwet nukewa, wi mwet kol lalos, insesela in tulala mwet kohs lalos ac tia sifilpa akkohsyelos. Ouinge elos aksukosokyalosla.
11 But later on, they turned back. And they took back again their man servants and their woman servants, whom they had released to be free. And they subjugated them as male and female servants.
Tusruktu tok elos aolla nunak lalos, folokunulosme, ac sifilpa akkohsyelos.
12 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:
Na LEUM GOD,
13 “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: I struck a pact with your fathers in the day when I led them away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude, 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 ‘When seven years have been completed, let each one release his brother, a Hebrew, who had been sold to him. And so he will serve you for six years, and then you shall release him to be free from you.’ But your fathers did not listen to me, nor did they 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 And today you converted, and you did what is right in my eyes, so that you proclaimed liberty, each one to his friend. And you entered into a pact in my sight, in the house in which and over which my name is invoked.
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 turned back, and you have stained my name. For you have led back again, each one his man servant, and each one his woman servant, whom you had released so that they would be free and under their own authority. And you have subjugated them, so that they would be your servants and handmaids.”
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 Because of this, thus says the Lord: “You have not heeded me, though you proclaimed liberty, each one to his brother and each one to his friend. Behold, I am proclaiming a liberty for you, says the Lord, to the sword, to pestilence, and to famine. And I will cause you to be removed 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 I will give over the men who have betrayed my covenant, and who have not observed the words of the covenant, to which they assented in my sight when they cut the calf into two parts and passed between its parts:
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 leaders of Judah, and the leaders of Jerusalem, the eunuchs and the priests, and all the people of the land, who have passed between the parts 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 And I will give them into the hands of their enemies and into the hands of those who are seeking their life. And their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the air and for 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 Zedekiah, the king of Judah, and his leaders, I will give over to the hands of their enemies, and to the hands of those who are seeking their lives, and to the hands of the armies of the king of Babylon, which 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 will command, says the Lord, and I will lead them back to this city, and they will fight against it, and seize it, and set it on fire. And I will make the cities of Judah into a desolation, for there shall be no 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.”
