< Jeremiah 32 >

1 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik in yac se aksingoul ke Zedekiah el tokosra lun Judah, su pa yac aksingoul oalkosr ke Nebuchadnezzar el tokosra lun Babylonia.
The word which came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, —the same, was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar;
2 In pacl sac, un mwet mweun lun tokosra lun Babylonia elos kuhlusya acn Jerusalem, ac nga kauli in kalkal lun mwet san inkul sin tokosra.
and, then, the forces of the king of Babylon were besieging Jerusalem, —and, Jeremiah the prophet, had been shut up in the guard-court, which was in the house of the king of Judah;
3 Tokosra Zedekiah el kaliyuwi we ke sripen nga fahkak mu LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah lela tokosra Babylonia in sruokya siti se inge,
whom Zedekiah king of Judah, had shut up, saying, —Why art thou prophesying, saying, —Thus, saith Yahweh, Behold me! giving up this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall capture it;
4 ac Tokosra Zedekiah el fah tia ku in kaingla. Ac fah itukyang el nu inpoun tokosra Babylonia. Eltal fah ngetani sie sin sie, ac sramsram.
and, Zedekiah king of Judah! shall not be delivered out of the hand of the Chaldeans, —for he shall be wholly given up, into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak—the mouth of the one to the mouth of the other, and the eyes of the one into the eyes of the other, shall look;
5 Ac fah utukla Zedekiah nu Babylonia, ac el fah mutana we nwe ke nga sulela ma fal in orek nu sel. El finne mweuni mwet Babylonia, el ac fah tiana kutangla. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
and into Babylon, shall he lead Zedekiah and, there, shall he remain, until I visit him, Declareth Yahweh, —though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper?
6 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik lah
And Jeremiah said, —The word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
7 Hanamel, wen natul Shallum su matu lukel papa, el ac tuku nu yuruk ac siyuk nga in molela ima se lal in acn Anathoth in facl sin Benjamin, mweyen nga pa sou fototo oemeet nu sel, ac oasr suwohs luk in molela ima sac luk.
Lo! Hanameel son of Shallum thine uncle, hath come unto thee saying, —Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth, for, thine, is the right of redemption to buy it.
8 Na oana ke LEUM GOD El fahk ah, Hanamel el tuku nu yuruk ke inkul lun tokosra, ac siyuk ngan molela ima sac. Ke ma inge nga etu lah pwaye LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik.
So Hanameel son of mine uncle, came unto me, according to the word of Yahweh into the guard-court, and said unto me, Buy, I pray thee my field that is in Anathoth which is in the land of Benjamin, for, thine, is the right of inheritance, and, thine, the redemption, —buy it for thyself. So I knew, that the word of Yahweh, it was.
9 Na nga molela ima sac sel Hanamel, ac pauniya molo ah, su oasr ke ipin silver singoul itkosr.
And I bought the field from Hanameel son of mine uncle that was in Anathoth, —and weighed him the silver, seventeen shekels, was the silver;
10 Nga sainiya inek ke pwepu in kuka acn, ac siliya ye mutun mwet loh, na nga pauniya molo ah ke mwe paun.
and I wrote in the scroll and sealed it, and took in attestation witnesses, —and weighed the silver in the balances.
11 Nga eis pwepu luo ma simla oakwuk nukewa ke acn kukala sac — sie oasr sil kac, ac sie wangin sil kac —
Then took I the scroll of purchase, both that which was sealed—the title and the conditions—and that which was open;
12 ac nga sang pwepu inge nu sel Baruch, wen natul Neriah su ma natul Mahseiah. Nga oru ma inge nukewa ye mutal Hanamel ac ye mutun mwet loh su wi pac sain inelos ke pwepu in kuka sac, oayapa ye mutun mwet su wi muta inkul lun tokosra.
and gave the scroll of purchase unto Baruch son of Neriah son of Mahseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle[’s son], and in the sight of the witnesses who subscribed the scroll of purchase, —in the sight of all the Jews who were sitting in the guard-court.
13 Ye mutalos nukewa nga fahk nu sel Baruch,
Then charged I Baruch in their sight saying:
14 “LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, El sap kom in eis pwepu inge, kewana ma siliyuki ac ma wangin sil kac, ac in filiya in sie sufa eot tuh in ku in oan kawil nu ke yac puspis fahsru.
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Take thou these scrolls, this scroll of purchase even that which is sealed, and this scroll that is open, and put them in an earthen vessel, —that they may remain many days,
15 LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, El fahk mu lohm, ima, ac nien grape fah sifilpa kukakinyuk in facl se inge.”
For Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel: Again, shall houses and fields and vineyards, be bought, in this land.
16 Tukun nga sang pwepu in kuka sac nu sel Baruch, na nga pre,
Then prayed I unto Yahweh, —after I had delivered the scroll of purchase unto Baruch son of Neriah, saying: —
17 “LEUM GOD Fulatlana, kom orala faclu ac kusrao ke ku lulap lom. Wanginna ma upa nu sum.
Alas! My Lord, Yahweh! Lo! thou thyself, didst make the heavens, and the earth, by thy great might, and by thine outstretched arm, —There is nothing, too wonderful for thee:
18 Kom akkalemye lungse kawil lom nu sin tausin fwil, tusruktu kom oayapa kai mwet ke sripen ma koluk lun papa tumalos ac nina kialos. Kom sie God fulat ac ku. Kom LEUM GOD Kulana.
Executing lovingkindness unto thousands, But recompensing the iniquity of fathers, into the bosom of their children, after them, Thou GOD, the great the mighty, Yahweh of hosts, is his name:
19 Kom oru lemlem lalmwetmet ac oru orekma usrnguk ac kulana. Kom liye ma nukewa ma mwet uh oru, ac kom sang nu selos fal nu ke orekma lalos.
Great in counsel, and mighty in deed, —Whose eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of men, to give unto every one, According to his ways, and According to the fruit of his doings:
20 Pacl loes somla kom orek mwenmen ac ma usrnguk in acn Egypt, ac kom srakna oru nwe misenge in acn Israel ac inmasrlon mutunfacl saya nukewa. Inge eteyuk kom yen nukewa.
Who didst set signs and wonders, in the land of Egypt, unto this day, and in Israel and among mankind, —And didst make for thyself a name as at this day;
21 Ke mwenmen ac usrnguk ma aksangengye mwet lokoalok lasr, kom orekmakin ku lulap lom in use mwet lom liki facl Egypt.
And didst bring forth thy people Israel out of the land of, Egypt, With signs and with wonders, and With a strong hand, and With an outstretched arm, and With great terror;
22 Kom sang nu selos acn mut ac kasrup fohk we, oana kom tuh wulela nu sin mwet matu lalos.
And didst give unto them this land, which thou hadst sworn to their fathers to give unto them, —a land flowing with milk and honey;
23 Tusruktu ke elos utyak nu in facl se inge ac sruokya tuh in ma lalos, elos tuh tia akos ma sap lom, ku moul fal nu ke mwe luti lom. Elos tia oru kutena ma kom sapkin nu selos, pwanang kom use mwe ongoiya inge nukewa nu faclos.
And they came in and took possession of it But hearkened not unto thy voice Nor in thy law, did they walk, Nought of what thou hadst commanded them to do, did they do, —And so thou hast caused to befall them all this calamity.
24 “Liye, mwet Babylonia elos elosak tari acn in fan lalos nu fin pot uh, ac inge elos mweuni. Ke sripen mweun, sracl, ac mas upa, elos ac sruokya siti uh. Kom ku in liye lah ma kom tuh fahk ah nufon akpwayeiyuk.
Lo! the earthworks! they have entered the city, to capture it, And the city, hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans, who are fighting against it, because of the sword and the famine and the pestilence, —And so what thou didst speak, hath come to pass, And there thou art looking on!
25 Tusruktu, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, kom pa sapkin nga in molela ima sac ye mutun mwet loh, siti uh finne apkuran in sruhu sin mwet Babylonia.”
Yet, thou thyself, saidst unto me, O My Lord, Yahweh, Buy thee the field for silver And take in attestation, witnesses, —Whereas, the city, hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans!
26 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
Then came the word of Yahweh, unto Jeremiah, saying: —
27 “Nga LEUM GOD, God lun mwet nukewa faclu. Wanginna ma upa nu sik.
Lo! I, am Yahweh, God of all flesh, —For me, is any thing too wonderful?
28 Nga ac fah sang siti se inge nu inpaol Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia ac un mwet mweun lal. Elos ac sruokya
Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, —Behold me! giving this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall capture it;
29 ac esukak. Elos ac furreak nwe ke apatla, wi pacna lohm ma mwet uh akkasrkusrakyeyu we ke elos esukak mwe keng nu sel Baal fin lohm selos, ac ke elos okoala mwe kisa wain nu sin god saya.
And the Chaldeans, who are fighting against this city, Shall enter, and Shall set this city on fire, and Shall consume it, —With the houses on whose roofs they burned incense to Baal and poured out drink-offerings to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger;
30 Oe ke mutaweyen sramsram kaclos me, mutunfacl Israel ac Judah elos tiana oru lungse luk, ac elso akkasrkusrakyeyu ke ma elos oru.
For the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have been nothing but doers of wickedness in my sight from the days of their youth, —For the sons of Israel have been doing nothing but provoke me to anger by the workmanship of their hands, Declareth Yahweh;
31 Mwet in siti se inge elos arulana angonyu ac akkasrkusrakyeyu, mutawauk na ke tufahna musaeak siti se inge nwe misenge. Nga wotela ku sik mu nga ac sukela
For According to mine anger, and According to mine indignation, hath been to me this city, from the day when they built it even unto this day, —that I should pull it down from before my face:
32 ke sripen ma koluk nukewa ma orekla sin mwet Judah ac Jerusalem, weang pac tokosra, mwet kol, mwet tol, ac mwet palu lalos.
because of all the wickedness of the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem:
33 Elos totulikiyula, ac nga nwe kwafeang in lotelos elos tiana porongeyu ku eis mwe luti luk.
Thus have they turned unto me the back, and not the face, —Though I instructed them, betimes, instructing them, Yet have they not been hearkening, to receive correction;
34 Elos oru nwe ke na elos filiya pac ma sruloala srungayuk lalos uh in Tempul ma musaiyukla tuh in nien alu nu sik, ouinge elos akfohkfokyela.
But have set their abominations in the house on which my name hath been called, to defile it;
35 Elos etoak loang nu sel Baal ke Infahlfal Hinnom in kisakin wen ac acn natulos nu sel Molech, god lalos. Nga tiana sapkin elos in oru ma inge, ac nga tia pacna nunku mu elos ac ku in oru ouiya inge, in tuh pwanang mwet Judah elos oru ma koluk.”
And have built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of Ben-hinnom, To cause their sons and their daughters to pass through unto Molech, Which I commanded them not Neither came it up on my heart, That they should do this horrible thing, —Causing, Judah, to sin!
36 LEUM GOD lun Israel El fahk nu sik, “Jeremiah, mwet uh fahk mu mweun, sracl, ac mas upa ac oru siti se inge in itukyang nu inpoun tokosra lun Babylonia. Inge, porongo pac ma nga ac fahk uh.
Now therefore, because of this, —Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, —Concerning this city, whereof ye are saying, It hath been delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, by sword, and by famine and by pestilence:
37 Nga ac fah eisani mwet uh liki mutunfacl nukewa ma nga akfahsryeloselik nu we ke sripen mulat ac kasrkusrak luk, ac nga ac fah folokunulosme nu in acn se inge, ac oru tuh elos in mutana we ac tia fosrnga.
Behold me! gathering them out of all the lands whither I have driven them—In mine anger and In mine indignation and In great vexation, —And I will cause them to return into this place, And will make them dwell, securely;
38 Elos ac fah mwet luk, ac nga ac fah God lalos.
And they shall become my people, —And, I, will become their God;
39 Nga fah sang nu selos sripa sefanna nu ke moul lalos: in akfulatyeyu pacl nukewa, tuh in wo nu selos sifacna ac oayapa nu sin fwilin tulik natulos.
And I will give them one heart, and one way, That they may revere me, all the days, —For the good of them and of their children after them;
40 Nga fah oru sie wuleang yorolos su ma na nwe tok. Nga fah tiana tui in oru ma wo nu selos, ac nga fah oru elos in sangeng sik ke insialos nufon tuh elos fah tiana sifil forla likiyu.
And I will solemnise to them an age-abiding covenant, That I will not turn away from following them, to do them good, —But the reverence of myself, will I put in their heart, so that they shall not turn away from me.
41 Nga fah arulana insewowo in oru ma wo nu selos, ac nga fah oakelosi in facl se inge nwe tok.
And I will rejoice over them, to do them good, —And will plant them in this land in truth, with all my heart and with all my soul.
42 “In oana ke nga tuh sang mwe ongoiya se inge nu fin mwet inge, nga fah oayapa sang nu selos ma wo nukewa ma nga wulela kac.
For, Thus, saith Yahweh, Like as I have brought upon this people all this great calamity, So, am I bringing upon them all the good that I am speaking concerning them.
43 Mwet uh fahk mu acn se inge ac fah oana sie acn mwesis ma wangin mwet ku ma orakrak muta we, ac lah ac mau itukyang nu inpoun mwet Babylonia. Tusruktu acn in ima ac fah sifilpa kukakinyuk ac moliyuk in acn se inge.
Therefore shall fields be bought in this land, —whereof ye are saying, It is, a desolation, Without man or beast, It hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans:
44 Mwet uh ac molela acn, ac pwepu kac ac fah sainiyuki ac siliyuki ye mutun mwet loh. Ma inge ac fah orek in facl sin Benjamin, in siti srisrik ma rauneak Jerusalem, inkul srisrik lun Judah, yen tohktok uh, pe eol uh, ac layen eir in Judah. Nga fah folokunla mwet uh nu in facl selos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
Fields—for silver, shall men buy, And write in scrolls And seal them, And take in attestation, witnesses, In the land of Benjamin, and In the places round about Jerusalem, and In the cities of Judah, and In the cities of the hill country, and In the cities of the lowland and In the cities of the South, —For I will cause them of their captivity to return Declareth Yahweh.
