Jeremiah 37
1 And Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king in the place of Conyahu the son of Jehoyakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia el akleumyalak Zedekiah wen natul Josiah, tuh elan tokosrala lun Judah in aolul Jehoiachin wen natul Jehoiakim.
2 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the words of the Lord, which he had spoken by means of Jeremiah the prophet.
Tusruktu Zedekiah ac mwet leum lal ac mwet uh tiana akos kas ma LEUM GOD El ase nu sik in fahkak.
3 And king Zedekiah sent Jehuchal the son of Shelemyah and Zephanyahu the son of Ma'asseyah the priest unto Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Pray now in our behalf unto the Lord our God.
Tokosra Zedekiah el supwalma Jehucal wen natul Shelemiah, ac mwet tol Zephaniah wen natul Maaseiah, in siyuk sik in aol mutunfacl sesr in pre nu sin LEUM GOD lasr.
4 Now Jeremiah came and went out among the people; and they put him not into the prison-house.
In pacl se inge nga soenna kauli in presin, ac nga srakna sukosok in forfor inmasrlon mwet uh.
5 But the army of Pharaoh was come forth out of Egypt: and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard the report of them, they withdrew from Jerusalem.
Mwet mweun lun Babylonia elos kuhlusya Jerusalem, tusruktu ke elos lohngak lah un mwet mweun lun Egypt elos tupalla tari masrol lun Egypt, elos folokla.
6 Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
Na LEUM GOD lun Israel, El fahk nu sik
7 Thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that hath sent you unto me to inquire of me, Behold, Pharaoh's army, which is come forth to help you, returneth into its own land to Egypt.
in fahkang nu sel Zedekiah, “Mwet mweun lun Egypt elos tuku in kasrekom, tusruktu elos ac folokla nu in facl selos.
8 But the Chaldeans will come again, and fight against this city, and capture it, and burn it with fire.
Na mwet Babylonia ac sifilpa foloko. Elos ac fah mweuni siti uh, sruokya, ac esukak.
9 Thus hath said the Lord, Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans will certainly go away from us; for they will not go away.
Nga, LEUM GOD, fahk nu suwos in tia sifacna kiapwekowos ac nunku mu mwet Babylonia elos ac tia foloko, mweyen elos ac foloko.
10 For if even ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained among them [only such] men as are pierced through: yet should they rise up, every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.
Kowos finne kutangla un mwet mweun lun Babylonia nufon ac mwet kinet mukena lula oan in lohm nuknuk selos, mwet ingan ac tukakek ac furreak siti se inge nwe ke apatla.”
11 And it came to pass, when the army of the Chaldeans had withdrawn from Jerusalem because of the army of Pharaoh,
Un mwet mweun lun Babylonia elos folokla liki acn Jerusalem ke elos etauk lah mwet mweun lun Egypt uh apkuranme.
12 That Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to make his escape thence in the midst of the people.
Ouinge nga ako in mukuila liki acn Jerusalem ac som nu in facl sin Benjamin nga in eis ip luk ke acn lun sou.
13 But as he was in the gate of Benjamin, there was there a captain of the guardsmen, whose name was Yiriyah, the son of Shelemyah, the son of Chananyah; and he seized hold of Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou runnest away to the Chaldeans.
Tusruktu ke nga sun Mutunpot Benjamin, mwet kol lun mwet karingin mutunpot uh, su inel pa Irijah wen natul Shelemiah ma natul Hananaiah, el tulokinyuwi ac fahk, “Kom kaingkinkutla in som kasru mwet Babylonia!”
14 But Jeremiah said, It is false; I am not running away to the Chaldeans. But he listened not to him; and Yiriyah seized hold of Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
Na nga fahk, “Mo! Nga tia kaing.” Tusruktu Irijah el tia lohngyu, a el sruokyuwi ac usyula nu yurin mwet leum.
15 Thereupon were the princes wroth with Jeremiah, and struck him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for that had they made into a prison-house.
Elos arulana kasrkusrak sik ac sap in sringsring nga, ac kaliyuwi in lohm sel Jonathan, mwet sim lun tokosra, mweyen orekmakinyuk lohm sel nu ke iwen kapir.
16 When Jeremiah had been placed in the dungeon, within the traders' shops, where Jeremiah remained many days:
Elos filiyuwi in sie fukil srisrik oan ye fohk uh, ac nga muta we ke pacl na loeloes.
17 King Zedekiah sent, and had him taken out, and the king asked him in his house in secret, and said, “Is there any word from the Lord?” And Jeremiah said, “There is:” and he said, Into the hand of the king of Babylon shalt thou be given up.
Tok Tokosra Zedekiah el sapla suliyu. Ke nga el mukena muta in lohm sel, el siyuk sik in lukma, “Ya oasr kutena kas sin LEUM GOD me?” Na nga topuk, “Oasr.” Na nga tafwelana in fahk, “Kom fah itukyang nu inpoun tokosra Babylonia.”
18 And Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, What have I sinned against thee, and against thy servants, and against this people, that ye have put me into the prison-house?
Na nga siyuk, “Ma koluk fuka nga oru lain kom, ku lain mwet leum lom ac mwet inge, in pwanang kom filiyuwi in presin?
19 And where are now your prophets who have prophesied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon will not come against you, and against this land?
Pia mwet palu lom ma fahk mu tokosra lun Babylonia ac fah tia mweuni kom ku facl sum?
20 Yet now, do but hear, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let me offer my humble supplication, I pray thee, before thee, that thou wilt not make me return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
Na inge, Leum Fulat luk, nga kwafe sum in porongo mwe siyuk luk. Nunak munas, nimet folokinyula nu in presin in lohm sel Jonathan. Kom fin supweyula, pwayena nga fah misa we.”
21 Then commanded king Zedekiah that they should put Jeremiah in ward in the court of the prison, and that they should give him a loaf of bread for every day out of the bakers' street, until all the bread was spent out of the city. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
Na Tokosra Zedekiah el sapkin nga in kauli na inkalkal lun mwet san ke inkul sin tokosra. Nga mutana we, ac len nukewa ac utuku lof in bread se nak liki nien manman flao, nwe ke na lihsr bread in siti uh.
