< Jeremiah 27 >

1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
Tia paht tukun Zedekiah wen natul Josiah el tokosrala lun Judah, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik
2 Thus said the Lord to me, Make for thyself bands and yoke-bars, and put them around thy neck,
ngan orala soko mwe utuk ke sak ac kapriya ke kulun kosro ac filiya fin kwawuk.
3 And send such to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of 'Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by means of the messengers who come to Jerusalem unto 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 thou shalt charge them unto their masters, saying, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Thus shall ye say unto 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 It is I who have made the earth, the men, and the beasts that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and I have given it unto the one who seemeth proper 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 it is I who have given all these countries into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and also the beasts of the field have I given him to 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 nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the time of his land is also come in its turn: when many nations and great kings shall make it serve.
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 And it shall come to pass, that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve him, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put its neck in the yoke of the king of Babylon, —even that nation will I punish with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, saith the Lord, until I have made an end of 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 But do ye not hearken to your prophets, and to your diviners, and to your dreamers, and to your enchanters, and to your sorcerers, who speak unto you, saying, Ye 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 falsehood do they prophesy unto you, in order to remove you far from your land; and that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish.
Elos kiapwekowos, ac elos ac oru in utukla kowos nu yen loesla liki acn suwos. Nga fah liskowosla, ac kowos fah kunausyukla.
11 But the nation that will bring its neck into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, —that one will I then let remain quietly in its own land, saith the Lord: and it shall till it, and dwell therein.
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 unto Zedekiah the king of Judah did I speak in accordance with all these words, saying, Bring your neck into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, that ye may 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 will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by pestilence, as the Lord hath spoken concerning the nation that will not 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 And do ye not hearken unto the words of the prophets that say unto you, as followeth, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon; for a falsehood do they prophesy unto you.
Nimet porongo mwet palu su fahk mu kowos in tia filikowosyang nu sel. Elos kiapwekowos.
15 For I have not sent them, saith the Lord, yet they prophesy in my name falsely: in order that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto 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 And unto the priests and unto all this people did I speak, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, Do not hearken to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the house of the Lord shall be brought again from Babylon now speedily; for a falsehood do they prophesy unto you.
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 Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, that ye may live: wherefore should this city become a ruin?
Nimet porongalos! Filikowosyang nu inpoun tokosra Babylonia ac kowos fah moul! Efu ku siti se inge in sie acn oan musalla?
18 And if they be prophets, and if the word of the Lord be with them, let them now make intercession with the Lord of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, may not be carried 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 hath said the Lord of hosts of the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that are left 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 away, when he carried away into exile Jechonyah the son of Jehoyakim the king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, with all the nobles 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 [Yea] for thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah and in 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 Unto Babylon shall they be carried, and there shall they remain until the day that I think of them, saith the Lord, when I will bring them up, and restore them 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.”
