Jeremiah 37
1 Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king, instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar 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, listened to the words of Jehovah, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.
Tusruktu Zedekiah ac mwet leum lal ac mwet uh tiana akos kas ma LEUM GOD El ase nu sik in fahkak.
3 Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, "Pray now to Jehovah our God for us."
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 in and went out among the people; for they had not put him into prison.
In pacl se inge nga soenna kauli in presin, ac nga srakna sukosok in forfor inmasrlon mwet uh.
5 Pharaoh's army had come forth out of Egypt; and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them, they broke up 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 Jehovah to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Na LEUM GOD lun Israel, El fahk nu sik
7 "Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, 'You shall tell the king of Judah, who sent you to me to inquire of me: "Look, Pharaoh's army, which has come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.
in fahkang nu sel Zedekiah, “Mwet mweun lun Egypt elos tuku in kasrekom, tusruktu elos ac folokla nu in facl selos.
8 The Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city; and they shall take it, and burn it with fire."
Na mwet Babylonia ac sifilpa foloko. Elos ac fah mweuni siti uh, sruokya, ac esukak.
9 Thus says Jehovah, "Do not deceive yourselves, saying, 'The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us'; for they shall not depart.
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 though you had struck the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yes would 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 It happened that, when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's army,
Un mwet mweun lun Babylonia elos folokla liki acn Jerusalem ke elos etauk lah mwet mweun lun Egypt uh apkuranme.
12 then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, 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 When he was in the Benjamin Gate, a captain of the guard was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he laid hold on Jeremiah the prophet, saying, "You are falling 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 Then Jeremiah said, "It is false; I am not falling away to the Chaldeans." But he did not listen to him; so Irijah laid hold on Jeremiah, and brought him to the officials.
Na nga fahk, “Mo! Nga tia kaing.” Tusruktu Irijah el tia lohngyu, a el sruokyuwi ac usyula nu yurin mwet leum.
15 And the officials were angry with Jeremiah, and struck him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that the prison.
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 come into the dungeon house, and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;
Elos filiyuwi in sie fukil srisrik oan ye fohk uh, ac nga muta we ke pacl na loeloes.
17 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and fetched him: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, "Is there any word from Jehovah?" Jeremiah said, "There is." He said also, "You shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon."
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 Moreover Jeremiah said to king Zedekiah, "Wherein have I sinned against you, or against your servants, or against this people, that you have put me in prison?
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 Where now are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?
Pia mwet palu lom ma fahk mu tokosra lun Babylonia ac fah tia mweuni kom ku facl sum?
20 Now please hear, my lord the king: please let my petition be presented before you, that you not cause me to 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 Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard; and they gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city was spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
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.
