Jeremiah 21
1 Tokosra Zedekiah lun Judah el supwalma Pashhur wen natul Malchiah, ac mwet tol Zephaniah wen natul Maaseiah, nu yuruk. Elos use enenu se inge:
The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashur, the son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah, the priest, saying:
2 “Nunak munas, pre nu sin LEUM GOD kacsr, mweyen Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia ac mwet mweun lal elos kuhlusya siti uh. Sahp LEUM GOD El ac oru sie mwenmen lal ke sripasr, ac ukwalak Nebuchadnezzar liki kut.”
Inquire, I pray thee, of Jehovah for us; for Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, maketh war against us; whether Jehovah will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us.
3 Na LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik, ac nga fahk nu sin mwet ma supweyuku nu yuruk
And Jeremiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah:
4 tuh elos in fahk nu sel Zedekiah lah LEUM GOD lun Israel El fahk, “Zedekiah, nga ac kutangla mwet lom su mweun lain tokosra lun Babylonia ac mwet lal. Nga fah elosak kufwen mwe mweun nutin mwet lom infulwen siti uh.
Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war which are in your hands, with which ye fight against the king of Babylon and the Chaldaeans, which besiege you without the walls, and I will assemble them in the midst of this city.
5 Nga fah sifacna mweun lain kom ke ku luk nufon, ac ke mulat ac kasrkusrak luk nufon.
And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand, and with a strong arm, with anger and fury and great wrath.
6 Nga fah onela ma nukewa su moul in siti se inge: kewana mwet ac ma orakrak ac fah misa ke sie mas upa.
And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast; by a great pestilence shall they die.
7 A kom, ac mwet pwapa fulat lom, ac mwet su painmoulla ke mweun, sracl, ac mas — nga ac fah lela kowos nukewa in sruoh sel Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar ac mwet lokoalok lowos su lungse unikowosi. Nebachudnezzar el ac fah unikowosi nukewa. El ac tiana nunak munas ku pakomuta kutena suwos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
And after this, saith Jehovah, I will deliver Zedekiah, the king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and those in the city who shall be left alive by the pestilence, the sword, and the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life; and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword. He shall not spare them, nor have pity, nor show mercy.
8 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik nga in fahkang nu sin mwet uh, “Kowos in porongo! Nga, LEUM GOD, fah sot nu suwos in sulela inmasrlon inkanek nu ke moul ac inkanek nu ke misa.
And to this people thou shalt say, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
9 Kutena mwet su muta in siti uh ac fah misa ke mweun ku ke masrinsral ku ke mas. Tusruktu kutena mwet su illa liki siti uh, ac sifacna eisalosyang nu inpoun mwet Babylonia su kuhlusya siti uh, ac fah moul.
He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence; but he that goeth out and surrendereth himself to the Chaldaeans that besiege you, he shall live, and bear away his life as a prey.
10 Nga sulela ku sik lah nga fah tia molela siti se inge, a nga fah kunausla. Ac itukyang nu inpoun tokosra lun Babylonia, ac el ac fah esukak nwe ke apatla. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, saith Jehovah. It shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
11 Fahk nu sin sou oaleum lun Judah: Lohng kas lun LEUM GOD.
And to the house of the king of Judah: Hear ye the word of Jehovah,
12 Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu suwos su fwilin tulik natul David: “Liyaung tuh nununku suwohs in orek ke len nukewa. Karinganang mwet ma pisreyukla ma la liki inpoun mwet pisrapasr. Kowos fin tia, na kasrkusrak luk ac fah tayak oana sie e su koflana kuniyukla.
O house of David! Thus saith Jehovah: Administer justice in season, and deliver him that is spoiled from the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go forth like fire, and burn so that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings!
13 Mwet Jerusalem, kowos muta ke sie acn fulat, lucng liki infahlfal uh, oana sie eot lulap tuyak yen tupasrpasr. Tusruktu nga fah mweun lain kowos. Kowos fahk mu wangin mwet ku in mweuni kowos, ku kunausla pot ku lowos ac utyak nu in siti uh.
Behold, I am against thee, thou inhabitant of the valley, the rock of the plain, who sayest, “Who shall come down against us? Or who shall enter our habitations?”
14 Nga fah kalyei kowos fal nu ke orekma koluk lowos. Nga fah esukak inkul fulat sin tokosra lowos, ac e uh fah esukak ma nukewa ma oan raunela. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
But I will punish you with the fruit of your doings. I will kindle a fire in her forest, which shall consume all around her.
