Jeremiah 26

1 Tia paht tukun Jehoiakim, wen natul Josiah, el tokosrala lun Judah,

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word from the LORD, saying,

2 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Tu in kalkal lun Tempul ac sulkakin ma nukewa nga sapkin nu sum in fahkak nu sin mwet su tuku liki siti lun Judah in alu we. Nimet kom sisla siefanna kas.

Thus says the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD’s house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD’s house, all the words that I command you to speak to them; diminish not a word:

3 Sahp mwet uh ac porongo ac forla liki ouiya koluk lalos. Elos fin oru ouinge, na nga fah ekulla nunak luk ac tia kunauselosla oana ke nga tuh akoo in oru ke sripen orekma koluk nukewa lalos.”

If so be they will listen, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do to them because of the evil of their doings.

4 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik in fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Nga, LEUM GOD, fahk mu kowos enenu in akosyu, ac fahsr tukun mwe luti nga sot nu suwos,

And you shall say to them, Thus says the LORD; If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,

5 ac lohang nu ke kas lun mwet kulansap luk mwet palu, su nga nuna supu nu yuruwos. Kowos tiana akos ma elos fahk.

To listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent to you, both rising up early, and sending them, but you have not listened;

6 Kowos fin oeoelana in seakos, na nga ac oru nu ke Tempul se inge oana ma nga tuh oru nu ke Shiloh, ac mutunfacl nukewa fin faclu fah orekmakin inen siti se inge oana sie mwe selnga.”

Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.

7 Mwet tol, mwet palu, ac mwet nukewa lohng ke nga fahk ma inge in Tempul,

So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD.

8 na tukunna nga fahkla tari ma nukewa ma LEUM GOD El sapkin ngan fahk, elos sruokyuwi ac wowo ac fahk, “Kom enenu na in anwuki!

Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, You shall surely die.

9 Efu kom ku fahk ke Inen LEUM GOD mu Tempul se inge ac fah oana Shiloh, ac siti se inge ac fah kunausyukla ac wangin mwet ac fah muta we?” Na mwet uh rireni rauniyula.

Why have you prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.

10 Ke mwet kol lun Judah lohng ma sikyak inge, elos sulaklak tuku liki inkul fulat sin tokosra nu ke Tempul, ac muta ke acn selos ke Mutunpot Sasu.

When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king’s house to the house of the LORD, and sat down in the entry of the new gate of the LORD’s house.

11 Na mwet tol ac mwet palu fahk nu sin mwet kol ac nu sin mwet uh, “Mwet se inge fal in anwuki, mweyen el kaskas lain siti sesr uh. Kowos sifacna lohng ma el fahk inge.”

Then spoke the priests and the prophets to the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy to die; for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.

12 Na nga fahk, “LEUM GOD El supweyume in sulkakin ma nukewa ma kowos lohng nga fahk lain Tempul se inge ac lain siti se inge.

Then spoke Jeremiah to all the princes and to all the people, saying, The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.

13 Kowos enenu in ekulla ouiyen moul lowos ac ma kowos oru, ac enenu in akos LEUM GOD lowos. Kowos fin oru ouinge, El ac ekulla pwapa in kunausten ma El akoo in oru nu suwos.

Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will repent him of the evil that he has pronounced against you.

14 Ac funu keik, nga oasr inpouwos! Oru kutena ma kowos nunku mu fal ku suwohs.

As for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as seems good and meet to you.

15 Tusruktu kowos in arulana etu lah kowos fin uniyuwi, kowos uniya sie mwet wangin mwata, na oasr mwatuwos ac mwet in siti se inge ke akmas, mweyen LEUM GOD pa supweyume in fahk ma inge in sensenkakin kowos.”

But know you for certain, that if you put me to death, you shall surely bring innocent blood on yourselves, and on this city, and on the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the LORD has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.

16 Na mwet kol ac mwet uh fahk nu sin mwet tol ac mwet palu, “Mwet se inge kaskas nu sesr ke Inen LEUM GOD lasr. Tia fal in anwuki el.”

Then said the princes and all the people to the priests and to the prophets; This man is not worthy to die: for he has spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God.

17 Tukun ma ine, kutu sin mwet matu tuyak ac fahk nu sin mwet su tukeni,

Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,

18 “Ke pacl se Hezekiah el tuh tokosra lun Judah, mwet palu Micah lun Moresheth el fahkang nu sin walil sac nufon lah LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk mu, ‘Zion ac fah pukpukyak oana sie ima. Jerusalem fah oana sie yol in ma kulawi, Ac inging in Tempul fah ekla oana insak uh!’

Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus says the LORD of hosts; Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.

19 Tokosra Hezekiah ac mwet Judah tuh tiana unilya Micah, a Hezekiah el tuh akfulatye LEUM GOD ac kwafe tuh Elan pakoten nu sel. Na LEUM GOD El aolla nunak lal liki kunausten ma El tuh fahk mu El ac use nu faclos. Ac inge, kut apkuran in sifacna use sie kunausten lulap nu facsr.” (

Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? did he not fear the LORD, and sought the LORD, and the LORD repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls.

20 Tuh oasr pac mukul se, pangpang Uriah wen natul Shemaiah in acn Kiriath Jearim, su tuh kaskas ke Inen LEUM GOD lain siti se inge ac mutunfacl se inge, oana ke Jeremiah el oru.

And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the LORD, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjathjearim, who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah.

21 Ke Tokosra Jehoiakim, ac mwet mweun ac mwet fulat lal lohng ma Uriah el tuh fahk, na tokosra el tuh srike in sang elan anwuki. Tusruktu Uriah el lohngak, oru el sangeng ac kaingla nu Egypt.

And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death: but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt;

22 Na Tokosra Jehoiakim el supwalla Elnathan wen natul Achbor, ac kutu pac mukul nu Egypt in usalu Uriah.

And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him into Egypt.

23 Elos folokunulma nu yorol Tokosra Jehoiakim, su sap in anwuki el, ac manol sisiyang nu in kulyuk lun mwet pusisel.)

And they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt, and brought him to Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.

24 Tusruktu ke sripen kasru lal Ahikam wen natul Shaphan, elos tia eisyuyang nu inpoun mwet uh in anwuki nga.

Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
