Jeremiah 42
1 Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest, came near,
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 said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us unto Yhwh thy God, even for all this remnant; ( for we are left but a few of many, as thine eyes do behold us: )
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 Yhwh thy God may shew us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do.
Pre tuh LEUM GOD lasr fah akkalemye nu sesr inkanek ma fal kut in fahsr we, ac ma fal kut in oru.”
4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray unto Yhwh your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing Yhwh shall answer you, I will declare it unto you; I will keep nothing back 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 Jeremiah, Yhwh be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not even according to all things for the which Yhwh thy God shall send thee to us.
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 whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of Yhwh our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of Yhwh 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 it came to pass after ten days, that the word of Yhwh came unto Jeremiah.
Len singoul toko LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik.
8 Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
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 said unto them, Thus saith Yhwh, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication 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 still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up: for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto 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 Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith Yhwh: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
Nimet sifil sangeng sin tokosra Babylonia. Nga muta yuruwos, ac nga fah molikowosla liki ku lal.
12 And I will shew mercies unto you, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own 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 obey the voice of Yhwh your God,
“Tusruktu kowos fin fahk mu, ‘Kut ac tia mutana in facl se inge,’ ac kowos seakos pusren LEUM GOD lowos
14 Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have 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 now therefore hear the word of Yhwh, ye remnant of Judah; Thus saith Yhwh of Armies, the God of Israel; If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn 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 it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die.
na mweun ac masrinsral ma kowos sangeng kac ac fah ukwekowosla nu we, ac kowos fah misa in acn Egypt.
17 So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon 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 Yhwh of Armies, the God of Israel; As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; 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 Yhwh hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have 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 For ye dissembled in your hearts, when ye sent me unto Yhwh your God, saying, Pray for us unto Yhwh our God; and according unto all that Yhwh our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do 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 And now I have this day declared it to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of Yhwh your God, nor any thing for the which he hath sent me unto you.
Na inge nga fahkot tari, a kowos seakos ma nukewa ma LEUM GOD lasr El supweyume in fahk nu suwos.
22 Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go and to sojourn.
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.”
