Jeremiah 40
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, after Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, has sent him from Ramah, in his taking him—and he a prisoner in chains—in the midst of all the expulsion of Jerusalem and of Judah, who are removed to Babylon.
Nga tuh kapir ke sein ac utukla wi mwet Jerusalem ac mwet Judah su ac som mwet sruoh nu Babylonia. LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik tukun Nebuzaradan, captain fulat lun un mwet mweun, el tuleyula in acn Ramah.
2 And the chief of the executioners takes Jeremiah and says to him, “Your God YHWH has spoken this calamity concerning this place,
Captain fulat sac el pangonyu ac fahk nu sik, “LEUM GOD lom El sulkakin tari lah mwe ongoiya inge ac tuku nu fin facl se inge.
3 and YHWH brings [it] in, and does as He spoke, because you have sinned against YHWH, and have not listened to His voice, even this thing has been to you.
Na inge El oru oana ma El fahk. Ma inge nukewa sikyak ke sripen mwet lom orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD ac tia aksol.
4 And now, behold, I have loosed you today from the chains that [are] on your hand; if [it is] good in your eyes to come with me [to] Babylon, come, and I keep my eye on you: and if [it is] evil in your eyes to come with me to Babylon, refrain; see, all the land [is] before you, to where [it is] good, and to where [it is] right in your eyes to go—go.”
Inge, nga ac eisla sein liki poum ac aksukosokyekomla. Kom fin lungse, kom ku in wiyu som nu Babylonia, ac nga fah karingin kom. Tusruktu kom fin tia lungse wiyu som, na kom ku in sifacna sulela kutena acn kom lungse muta we in facl se inge nufon.”
5 And while he does not reply—“Or turn back to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has appointed over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him in the midst of the people, or wherever it is right in your eyes to go—go.” And the chief of the executioners gives a ration and gift to him, and sends him away,
Na ke nga pahtlac in topkol, Nebuzaradan el fahk, “Kom fin lungse mutana inge, kom ku in folokla nu yorol Gedaliah, wen natul Ahikam su ma natul Shaphan, su tokosra lun Babylonia el tuh sulella elan governor ke siti lun Judah. Kom ku in muta yorol inmasrlon mwet uh, ku kom ku in som nu kutena acn kom lungse muta we.” Na el se nu sik mwe kite se ac mwe mongo nga in us, ac filiyula in som.
6 and Jeremiah comes to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, to Mizpah, and dwells with him in the midst of the people who are left in the land.
Na nga folokla nu yorol Gedaliah in acn Mizpah, ac muta inmasrlon mwet ma lula in facl sac.
7 And all the heads of the forces that [are] in the field hear, they and their men, that the king of Babylon has appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam over the land, and that he has charged him [with] men, and women, and infants, and of the poor of the land, of those who have not been removed to Babylon;
Kutu sin mwet fulat ac mwet mweun lun mwet Judah su tia eisalosyang nu inpoun mwet Babylonia, elos lohngak lah tokosra Babylonia el srisrngilya Gedaliah elan governor lun facl Judah, ac sang elan leumi mwet nukewa su tia utukla nu Babylonia. Mwet inge pa sukasrup oemeet in facl sac.
8 and they come to Gedaliah at Mizpah, even Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan [the] sons of Kareah, and Seraiah son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah son of the Maachathite, they and their men.
Ouinge Ishmael wen natul Nathaniah, Johanan wen natul Kareah, Seraiah wen natul Tanhumeth, ac wen ekasr natul Ephai mwet Netophah, ac Jezaniah mwet Maacah, wi mwet lalos elos som nu yorol Gedaliah in acn Mizpah.
9 And Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, swears to them and to their men, saying, “Do not be afraid of serving the Chaldeans, abide in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it is well for you;
Na Gedaliah el fahk nu selos, “Nga fahk na pwaye nu suwos lah kowos tia enenu in sangeng in filikowosyang nu sin mwet Babylonia. Kowos in oakwuki in facl se inge ac orekma nu sin tokosra lun Babylonia, ac ma nukewa ac fah wo nu suwos.
10 and I, behold, I am dwelling in Mizpah to stand before the Chaldeans who have come to us, and you, gather wine, and summer fruit, and oil, and put [them] in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that you have taken.”
Ac funu nga, nga ac mutana Mizpah, ac nga fah aol kowos in sramsram nu sin mwet Babylonia ke pacl elos ac tuku nu yen uh. Na kowos in folokla nu in acn kowos muta we, ac orani kosrani lowos ke wain, fokinsak, ac oil in olive, ac karinganang ke nien filma lowos.”
11 And also all the Jews who [are] in Moab, and among the sons of Ammon, and in Edom, and who [are] in all the lands, have heard that the king of Babylon has given a remnant to Judah, and that he has appointed over them Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan,
In pacl sac pacna, mwet Israel nukewa su muta Moab, Ammon, Edom ac kutu pac facl saya, lohngak lah tokosra lun Babylonia el lela kutu sin mwet Israel in mutana in facl Judah, ac el srisrngilya Gedaliah elan governor lalos.
12 and all the Jews from all the places to where they have been driven, return and enter the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and they gather wine and summer fruit—to multiply abundantly.
Ke ma inge elos tuku liki acn elos fahsrelik muta we, ac folokla nu Judah. Elos som nu yorol Gedaliah in acn Mizpah, na elos usani wain ac fokinsak puspis.
13 And Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces that [are] in the field, have come to Gedaliah at Mizpah,
Tukun ma inge, Johanan ac mwet kol lun mwet mweun su tia wi srasrapo nu sin mwet Babylonia elos tuku nu yorol Gedaliah in acn Mizpah
14 and they say to him, “Do you really know that Ba‘alis king of the sons of Ammon has sent Ishmael son of Nethaniah to strike your soul?” And Gedaliah son of Ahikam has not given credence to them.
ac fahk nu sel, “Ya kom etu lah Tokosra Baalis lun Ammon el supwalma Ishmael elan akmusekomi?” Tusruktu Gedaliah el tiana lulalfongi.
15 And Johanan son of Kareah has spoken to Gedaliah in secret, in Mizpah, saying, “Please let me go, and I strike Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and no one knows; why does he strike your soul? And all Judah who are gathered to you have been scattered, and the remnant of Judah has perished.”
Na Johanan el tuku nu yorol in lukma ac fahk nu sel, “Lela nga in som unilya Ishmael, ac wangin mwet ac etu lah su orala. Efu ku in filfilla elan akmusekomi? Ac oru mwet Jew nukewa su tukeni muta raunikomla inge in kaingelik, ac ma se inge ac pwanang ongoiya nu fin mwet nukewa su lula muta in acn Judah.”
16 And Gedaliah son of Ahikam says to Johanan son of Kareah, “You do not do this thing, for you are speaking falsehood concerning Ishmael.”
Tusruktu Gedaliah el topuk, “Nimet oru ma sacn! Tia pwaye ma kom fahk kacl Ishmael!”
