Jeremiah 26
1 Tia paht tukun Jehoiakim, wen natul Josiah, el tokosrala lun Judah,
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, this word came from Yahweh, 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.
“Yahweh says this: Stand in the courtyard of my house and speak about all the cities of Judah who come to worship at my house. Proclaim all the words that I have commanded you to say to them. Do not cut short any 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.”
It may be that they will listen, that each man will turn from his wicked ways, so I will relent concerning the disaster that I am planning to bring on them because of the wickedness of their practices.
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,
So you must say to them, 'Yahweh says this: If you do not listen to me so as to walk in my law that I have placed 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.
if you do not listen to the words of my servants the prophets whom I am persistently sending to you—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 I will make this house like Shiloh; I will turn this city into a curse in the sight of all the nations on earth.'”
7 Mwet tol, mwet palu, ac mwet nukewa lohng ke nga fahk ma inge in Tempul,
The priests, the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah announcing these words in Yahweh's house.
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!
So it happened that when Jeremiah had finished announcing all that Yahweh commanded him to say to all the people, the priests, prophets, and all the people seized him and said, “You will certainly 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 Yahweh's name and said that this house will become like Shiloh and this city will become desolate, with no inhabitant?” For all the people had formed a mob against Jeremiah in Yahweh's house.
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.
Then the officials of Judah heard these words and went up from the king's house to Yahweh's house. They sat in the gateway at the New Gate of Yahweh'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.”
The priests and the prophets spoke to the officials and to all the people. They said, “It is right for this man to die, for he prophesied against this city, just as you heard with your own 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.
So Jeremiah spoke to all the officials and all the people and said, “Yahweh has sent me out to prophesy against this house and this city, to say 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.
So now, improve your ways and your practices, and listen to the voice of Yahweh your God so that he will relent concerning the disaster that he has proclaimed against you.
14 Ac funu keik, nga oasr inpouwos! Oru kutena ma kowos nunku mu fal ku suwohs.
I myself—look at me!—am in your hand. Do to me what is good and right in your eyes.
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 you must surely know that if you kill me, then you are bringing innocent blood on yourselves and on this city and its inhabitants, for Yahweh has truly sent me to you to proclaim all these words for 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 the officials and all the people said to the priests and prophets, “It is not right for this man to die, for he has proclaimed things to us in the name of Yahweh our God.”
17 Tukun ma ine, kutu sin mwet matu tuyak ac fahk nu sin mwet su tukeni,
Then men from the elders of the land rose up and spoke to the entire assembly of the people.
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!’
They said, “Micah the Morashite was prophesying in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah. He spoke to all the people of Judah and said, 'Yahweh of hosts says this: Zion will become a plowed field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the hill of the temple will become a thicket.'
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 of Judah put him to death? Did he not fear Yahweh and appease the face of Yahweh so that Yahweh would relent concerning the disaster that he proclaimed to them? So will we do greater evil against our own lives?”
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.
Meanwhile there was another man who prophesied in the name of Yahweh—Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath Jearim—he also prophesied against this city and this land, agreeing with all of Jeremiah's words.
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.
But when King Jehoiakim and all his soldiers and officials heard his word, then the king tried to put him to death, but Uriah heard and was afraid, so he ran away and went to Egypt.
22 Na Tokosra Jehoiakim el supwalla Elnathan wen natul Achbor, ac kutu pac mukul nu Egypt in usalu Uriah.
Then King Jehoiakim sent out men to go to Egypt—Elnathan son of Akbor and men to go into Egypt after Uriah.
23 Elos folokunulma nu yorol Tokosra Jehoiakim, su sap in anwuki el, ac manol sisiyang nu in kulyuk lun mwet pusisel.)
They took Uriah out from Egypt and brought him to King Jehoiakim. Then Jehoiakim killed him with a sword and sent his corpse out to the graves of the ordinary people.
24 Tusruktu ke sripen kasru lal Ahikam wen natul Shaphan, elos tia eisyuyang nu inpoun mwet uh in anwuki nga.
But the hand of Ahikam son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, so he was not given into the hand of the people to be put to death.
