Jeremiah 34
1 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ke pacl se Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia ac un mwet mweun lal, wi kasru lun mutunfacl nukewa ac kain in mwet nukewa su oan ye nununku lal, elos tuh mweuni Jerusalem ac inkul nukewa ma apkuran.
The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the peoples, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying:
2 LEUM GOD lun Israel El tuh fahk nu sik in som nu yorol Tokosra Zedekiah lun Judah, ac fahk, “Nga, LEUM GOD, fah sang siti se inge nu inpoun tokosra lun Babylonia, ac el ac furreak.
Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Go, and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:
3 Kom ac fah tia kaingla. Ac fah sruoh kom ac utukla kom nu yorol. Komtal ac fah ngetani nu sie, ac kom fah sifacna kaskas nu sel, na toko kom fah som nu Babylonia.
and thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
4 Zedekiah, porongo ma nga fahk keim uh. Kom ac fah tia anwuki ke mweun.
Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah: thus saith the LORD concerning thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword;
5 Kom fah misa in misla, ac oana ke mwet uh tuh furreak mwe keng ke pacl elos pikinya papa matu nukewa tomom su tuh tokosra mwet liki kom, in ouiya sacna elos fah furreak pac mwe keng keim. Elos fah mwemelil keim ac fahk, ‘We! Tokosra lasr el misa!’ Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
thou shalt die in peace; and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings which were before thee, so shall they make a burning for thee; and they shall lament thee, [saying], Ah lord! for I have spoken the word, saith the LORD.
6 Na nga sang pweng se inge nu sel Tokosra Zedekiah in Jerusalem
Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
7 ke pacl se un mwet mweun lun tokosra Babylonia elos mweuni siti sac. Mwet mweun elos oayapa mweuni Lachish ac Azekah, su pwayena siti lula ma potiyukyak in acn Judah.
when the king of Babylon’s army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish and against Azekah; for these [alone] remained of the cities of Judah [as] fenced cities.
8 Tokosra Zedekiah ac mwet Jerusalem elos insesela in aksukosokye
The word that came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them;
9 mwet kohs Hebrew lalos, kewana mukul ac mutan, tuh in fah wangin mwet Israel akkohsyeyuk sin sie pac mwet Israel.
that every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve himself of them, [to wit], of a Jew his brother:
10 Mwet nukewa, wi mwet kol lalos, insesela in tulala mwet kohs lalos ac tia sifilpa akkohsyelos. Ouinge elos aksukosokyalosla.
And all the princes and all the people obeyed, which had entered into the covenant, that every one should let his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more; they obeyed, and let them go:
11 Tusruktu tok elos aolla nunak lalos, folokunulosme, ac sifilpa akkohsyelos.
but afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids:
12 Na LEUM GOD,
Therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
13 God lun Israel, El tuh fahk nu sik in fahk nu sin mwet uh: “Nga orala sie wuleang yurin mwet matu lowos pacl se nga usalosme liki facl Egypt, ac aksukosokyalosla liki moul in mwet kohs. Nga fahkang nu selos lah
Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying,
14 yac akitkosr nukewa elos in tulala kutena mwet kohs Hebrew su kulansupwalos ke yac onkosr. Tusruktu papa matu tomowos tuh tiana lohma nu sik ku lipsre ma nga fahk ah.
At the end of seven years ye shall let go every man his brother that is an Hebrew, which hath been sold unto thee, and hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear.
15 Na inmasrlon len na pu somla, kowos aolla nunak lowos ac oru ma nga insewowo kac. Kowos nukewa insesela in fuhlela mwet Israel wiowos in sukosok, ac kowos orala sie wuleang ye mutuk in Tempul, yen mwet uh alu nu sik we.
And ye were now turned, and had done that which is right in mine eyes, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:
16 Na kowos sifilpa aolla nunak lowos ac pilesreyula. Kowos nukewa folokonma mwet kohs lowos su kowos tuh tulala oana ma elos lungse, ac kowos sifilpa akkohsyelos.
but ye turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom ye had let go free at their pleasure, to return; and ye brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.
17 Ke ma inge nga, LEUM GOD, fahk lah ke sripen kowos seakosyu ac tiana sang tuh mwet Israel wiowos in sukosokla, na nga fah sot sie sukosok nu suwos. Kowos sukosok in misa ke mweun, mas upa, ac masrinsracl. Nga fah oru mutunfacl nukewa fin faclu in sangengla ke ma nga ac oru nu suwos.
Therefore thus saith the LORD: Ye have not hearkened unto me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim unto you a liberty, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth.
18 Mweyen kowos likinsai wuleang inmasrlosr, ac tia akpwayeye kas in wuleang ma kowos oru ye mutuk, nga fah oru nu suwos oana ke kowos fulungya cow fusr soko, ac fahsr inmasrlon ip luo kac in akkeye wuleang lowos.
And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, which have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before me, when they cut the calf in twain and passed between the parts thereof;
19 Mwet fulat lun Judah, mwet fulat lun Jerusalem, mwet eunuch, mwet tol, ac mwet nukewa in facl sac su wi fahsr inmasrlon ip luo ke cow fusr soko ah,
the princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf;
20 nga ac fah eisalosyang nu sin mwet lokoalok lalos ac nu selos su suk in onelosi. Mano misa lalos ac fah mongola sin won ac kosro in ima uh.
I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.
21 Nga fah oayapa eisalang Tokosra Zedekiah lun Judah, ac mwet fulat lal, nu selos su kena onelosi. Nga fah eisalosyang nu inpoun mwet mweun lun Babylonia, su tui in mweuni kowos in pacl se inge.
And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon’s army, which are gone up from you.
22 Nga fah sap elos in foloko nu in siti se inge. Elos fah mweuni, sruokya, ac esukak. Nga fah oru siti srisrik lun Judah in oana acn mwesis se su wangin mwet muta we. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
Behold, I will command, saith the LORD, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.
