< Jeremiah 28 >

1 And it came to pass in the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah the king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that there said unto me Chananyah the son of 'Azzur the prophet, who was from Gib'on, in the house of the Lord, before the eyes of the priests, and of all the people, as followeth,
In yac sacna, in malem aklimekosr ke yac akakosr ma Zedekiah el tokosra lun Judah, mwet palu Hananiah wen natul Azzur mwet Gibeon, el kaskas nu sik in Tempul. Ye mutun mwet tol ac mwet nukewa el fahk
2 Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon;
lah LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, El fahk: “Nga koteya mwe utuk toasr lun tokosra Babylonia.
3 Within yet two years' time will I cause to be brought back unto this place all the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon hath taken away from this place, and which he hath carried to Babylon:
Inmasrlon yac luo, nga fah folokonma ma saok nukewa lun Tempul ma Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el tuh usla nu Babylonia.
4 And Jechonyah the son of Jehoyakim the king of Judah, and all the exiles of Judah that are gone to Babylon, will I cause to return to this place, saith the Lord; for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
Nga fah oayapa folokunulma Tokosra Jehoiachin lun Judah, wen natul Jehoiakim, wi mwet Judah nukewa su tuh mwet sruoh ac som nu Babylonia. Aok, nga ac fah kunausla ku lun Tokosra lun Babylonia. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
5 Then said Jeremiah the prophet unto Chananyah the prophet before the eyes of the priests, and before the eyes of all the people that stood in the house of the Lord,
Na ye mutun mwet tol ac mwet nukewa su tu in Tempul uh, nga fahk nu sel Hananiah,
6 Yea, then said Jeremiah the prophet, Amen, may the Lord do so: may the Lord fulfill thy words which thou hast prophesied, to cause the vessels of the Lord's house, and all that have been carried into exile, to be brought back from Babylon unto this place.
“Wona! Nga finsrak mu LEUM GOD Elan oru oana ma kom fahk! Nga kena Elan oru kas in palu lom in pwaye, ac Elan folokunma ma saok nukewa lun Tempul liki Babylonia, wi mwet nukewa su utukla mwet sruoh we.
7 Nevertheless hear thou now this word which I speak before thy ears, and before the ears of all the people:
Tusruktu, lipsre ma nga ac fahk nu sum ac nu sin mwet uh.
8 The prophets that have been before me and before thee from olden times prophesied both concerning many countries, and against great kingdoms, respecting war, and respecting evil, and respecting pestilence.
Mwet palu ma tuh kaskas pacl loeloes somla, meet liki pacl luk kom, elos palye mu mweun, sracl, ac mas upa ac fah tuku nu fin mutunfacl puspis ac tokosrai kulana.
9 The prophet who prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet doth come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, [as the one] whom the Lord hath sent in truth.
Tusruktu sie mwet palu su palye ke misla, ke pacl se na sikyak tuh na pwaye kas in palu lal, na ac ku in akilenyuk mu el mwet palu pwaye se su LEUM GOD El supwama.”
10 Then took Chananyah the prophet the yoke-bar from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, and broke it.
Na Hananiah el eisla mwe utuk sac liki inkwawuk, ac koteya nu ke ip srisrik,
11 And Chananyah said before the eyes of all the people, as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord, Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon within two years' time from the neck of all the nations. And Jeremiah the prophet went his way.
ac fahk ye mutun mwet nukewa, “In lumah se pacna inge, LEUM GOD El fahk mu El ac koteya mwe utuk ma Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el tuh filiya inkwawen mutunfacl nukewa! Ac El ac oru ma inge inmasrlon yac luo.” Na nga som.
12 Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, after Chananyah the prophet had broken the yoke-bar from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
Kutu pacl tukun ma inge, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik
13 Go and say unto Chananyah as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord, Yoke-bars of wood hast thou broken; but thou shalt make in their stead yoke-bars of iron.
in som ac fahk nu sel Hananiah: “LEUM GOD El fahk mu sahp kom ac ku in koteya sie mwe utuk orekla ke sak, tusruktu El ac aolla ke sie mwe utuk orekla ke osra.
14 For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, A yoke of iron have I placed upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon; and they shall work for him: and also the beasts of the field have I given him.
LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, El fahk mu El ac filiya sie mwe utuk osra fin mutunfacl inge nukewa, ac elos ac fah orekma nu sel Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia. LEUM GOD El fahk mu El ac oru tuh finne kosro lemnak, elos ac kulansupwal pac Nebuchadnezzar.”
15 Then said Jeremiah the prophet unto Chananyah the prophet, Hear now, Chananyah, The Lord did not send thee; but thou hast caused this people to trust on a falsehood.
Na nga fahkang nu sel Hananiah ma se inge, ac tafwelana ac fahk, “Hananiah, lohng pac! LEUM GOD El tia supwekom, ac kom oru mwet inge lulalfongi sie kas kikiap.
16 Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will send thee away from off the face of the earth: this year shalt thou die, because thou hast spoken rebellion against the Lord.
Ke ma inge LEUM GOD sifacna El fahk mu El ac siskomla. Meet liki yac se inge safla, kom ac fah misa, mweyen kom fahk mwet uh in tuyak lain LEUM GOD.
17 So Chananyah the prophet died in that same year, in the seventh month.
Ac Hananiah el misa ke malem akitkosr in yac sacna.
