< Jeremiah 42 >

1 Then all the captaines of the hoste, and Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and Iezaniah the sonne of Hoshaaiah, and all the people from the least vnto the most came,
Na mwet kol nukewa lun un mwet mweun, welulang Johanan wen natul Kareah, ac Azariah wen natul Hoshaiah, wi mwet nukewa, sin mwet pusisel nwe ke mwet fulat, elos tuku
2 And saide vnto Ieremiah the Prophete, Heare our prayer, we beseeche thee, and pray for vs vnto the Lord thy God, euen for all this remnant (for we are left, but a fewe of many, as thine eyes doe beholde)
ac fahk nu sik, “Nunak munas, oru ma kut ac siyuk sum uh! Pre nu sin LEUM GOD lasr kacsr. Pre kacsr nukewa su painmoulla. Meet kut arulana pus suna, a inge kut mwet ekasrna lula, oana ke kom liye.
3 That the Lord thy God may shewe vs the way wherein wee may walke, and the thing that we may doe.
Pre tuh LEUM GOD lasr fah akkalemye nu sesr inkanek ma fal kut in fahsr we, ac ma fal kut in oru.”
4 Then Ieremiah the Prophet said vnto them, I haue heard you: behold, I will pray vnto ye Lord your God according to your wordes, and whatsoeuer thing the Lord shall answere you, I will declare it vnto you: I will keepe nothing backe from you.
Na nga topuk, “Wona. Nga fah pre nu sin LEUM GOD lasr, in oana ke kowos siyuk an, ac kutena ma El fahk nga fah fahk nu suwos. Wangin ma nga ac okanla liki kowos.”
5 Then they said to Ieremiah, The Lord be a witnesse of trueth, and faith betweene vs, if we doe not, euen according to all things for ye which the Lord thy God shall send thee to vs.
Na elos fahk nu sik, “Lela LEUM GOD, su oaru ac pwaye, Elan orek loh lain kut, kut fin tia akos ma sap nukewa El sot nu sum kacsr.
6 Whether it be good or euill, we will obey the voyce of the Lord God, to whom we sende thee that it may be well with vs, when wee obey the voyce of the Lord our God.
Finne ma kut ac insewowo kac ku tia, kut fah akos LEUM GOD lasr, su kut siyuk kom in pre nu sel kacsr. Ma nukewa ac wo nu sesr kut fin aksol.”
7 And so after ten dayes came the word of the Lord vnto Ieremiah.
Len singoul toko LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik.
8 Then called he Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and all the captaines of the hoste, which were with him, and all ye people from ye least to the most,
Ke ma inge nga solalma Johanan, ac mwet kol lun mwet mweun nukewa su welul, ac mwet nukewa saya, mwet pusisel ac mwet fulat.
9 And saide vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, vnto whom ye sent me to present your prayers before him,
Nga fahk nu selos, “LEUM GOD lun Israel, su kowos supweyu nu yoro ke mwe siyuk lowos, El fahk mu,
10 If ye will dwell in this land, then I wil build you, and not destroy you, and I will plant you, and not roote you out: for I repent me of the euill that I haue done vnto you.
‘Kowos fin lungse mutana in facl se inge, na nga ac musaikowosyak ac tia ikruikowosi. Nga ac yukwikowosi ac tia fiskowosyak. Nga arulana oela ac asor ke sripen mwe ongoiya nga tuh akkeokye kowos kac.
11 Feare not for the King of Babel, of whom ye are afraide: be not afraid of him, saith the Lord: for I am with you, to saue you, and to deliuer you from his hand,
Nimet sifil sangeng sin tokosra Babylonia. Nga muta yuruwos, ac nga fah molikowosla liki ku lal.
12 And I will graunt you mercie that he may haue compassion vpon you, and he shall cause you to dwell in your owne land.
Nga pakoten, ac nga fah oru tuh elan pakomutowos, ac lela kowos in folokla nu yen suwos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.’
13 But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither heare the voyce of the Lord your God,
“Tusruktu kowos fin fahk mu, ‘Kut ac tia mutana in facl se inge,’ ac kowos seakos pusren LEUM GOD lowos
14 Saying, Nay, but we will goe into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no warre, nor heare the sounde of the trumpet, nor haue hunger of bread, and there will we dwell,
ac fahk, ‘Kut fah som nu in facl Egypt, yen kut ac tia liye mweun, ku sensen, ku masrinsral,’
15 (And nowe therefore heare the worde of the Lord, ye remnant of Iudah: thus sayeth the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, If ye set your faces to enter into Egypt, and goe to dwell there)
na kowos in lohng ma LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, El fahk nu sin mwet lula in facl Judah: ‘Kowos fin sulela ku suwos mu kowos ac som nu Egypt ac oakwuki we,
16 Then the sworde that ye feared, shall take you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, for the which ye care, shall there hang vpon you in Egypt, and there shall ye die.
na mweun ac masrinsral ma kowos sangeng kac ac fah ukwekowosla nu we, ac kowos fah misa in acn Egypt.
17 And all the men that set their faces to enter into Egypt to dwell there, shall die by ye sword, by the famine and by the pestilence, and none of them shall remaine nor escape from the plague, that I will bring vpon them.
Mwet nukewa su sulela in som ac muta Egypt fah misa we ke mweun, masrinsral, ku mas. Wangin mwet ac moul, ac wangin mwet ac kaingkunla mwe ongoiya nga ac use nu faclos.’
18 For thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, As mine anger and my wrath hath bene powred foorth vpon the inhabitants of Ierusalem: so shall my wrath be powred foorth vpon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt, and ye shall be a detestation, and an astonishment, and a curse and a reproche, and ye shall see this place no more.
“LEUM GOD lun Israel El fahk, ‘Oana ke nga tuh okoala kasrkusrak lulap luk nu fin mwet Jerusalem, ouinge nga fah okoaot kasrkusrak luk nu fowos, kowos fin som nu Egypt. Mutanfahl saya uh ac langinging ke liyeya. Mwet ac fah aksruksruk ac israsrinkusrai kowos, ac orekmakin inen Jerusalem in mwe selnga lalos. Kowos ac fah tia sifilpa liye acn se inge.’”
19 O ye remnant of Iudah, the Lord hath said concerning you, Goe not into Egypt: knowe certeinely that I haue admonished you this day.
Na nga sifilpa fahk, “LEUM GOD El fahk nu suwos, mwet su lula in Judah, kowos in tia som nu Egypt. Ouinge nga sensenkakin kowos inge
20 Surely ye dissembled in your hearts When ye sent me vnto the Lord your God, saying, Pray for vs vnto the Lord our God, and declare vnto vs euen according vnto al that the Lord our God shall say, and we will doe it.
lah kowos oru sie tafongla su ac ma nu ke misa. Kowos siyuk sik ngan pre nu sin LEUM GOD lasr keiwos, ac kowos wulela mu kowos ac fah oru ma nukewa ma El sapkin.
21 Therefore I haue this day declared it you, but you haue not obeyed the voyce of the Lord your God, nor any thing for the which he hath sent me vnto you.
Na inge nga fahkot tari, a kowos seakos ma nukewa ma LEUM GOD lasr El supweyume in fahk nu suwos.
22 Nowe therefore, knowe certeinely that ye shall die by the sworde, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to goe and dwell.
Ke ma inge, kowos in arulana esam lah kowos ac misa ke mweun, ku masrinsral ku mas, fin acn se ma kowos lungse in som ac muta we.”
