Jeremiah 39
1 In malem se aksingoul in yac akeu lal Zedekiah in tokosra lun Judah, Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia ac un mwet mweun lal nukewa elos tuku ac kuhlusya acn Jerusalem.
In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem, and besieged it.
2 Ke len se akeu in malem akakosr in yac aksingoul sie ma Zedekiah el tokosra, mwet Babylonia elos fukulya pot uh ac utyak. (
In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city.
3 Ke pacl se sruoh Jerusalem, mwet fulat nukewa lun tokosra Babylonia elos tuku ac tu yen srisrngiyuk nu selos ke Mutunpot Infulwa. Kutu sin mwet inge pa Nergal Sarezer, Samgar Nebo, Sarsechim, ac sie pac Nergal Sarezer.)
All the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate: Nergal Sharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim the Rabsaris, Nergal Sharezer the Rabmag, with all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.
4 Ke Tokosra Zedekiah ac mwet mweun lal nukewa liye ma sikyak inge, elos srike in kaingla liki siti uh ke fong. Elos ut ke layen ma ima lun mwet leum uh oan we, ac som sasla ke mutunpot se ma kapsreni pot luo, ac kaing ut layen nu ke Infahlfal Jordan.
When Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled and went out of the city by night, by the way of the king’s garden, through the gate between the two walls; and he went out toward the Arabah.
5 Tusruktu mwet mweun lun Babylonia ukwalos, ac sruokilya Zedekiah in acn tupasrpasr apkuran nu Jericho. Na elos usalla nu yorol Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar, su muta in siti Riblah in facl lun Hamath in pacl sac, ac Nebuchadnezzar el woteang ma in orek nu sel Zedekiah we.
But the army of the Kasdim pursued them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. When they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he pronounced judgment on him.
6 El uniya wen natul Zedekiah ye mutal in acn Riblah, ac el oayapa sap in anwuki mwet leum lun Judah nukewa.
Then the king of Babylon killed Zedekiah’s sons in Riblah before his eyes. The king of Babylon also killed all the nobles of Judah.
7 Tukun ma inge, el sap tipulyukla atronmutal Zedekiah, ac kapiri el ke sein in utukla nu Babylonia.
Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
8 In pacl sacna, mwet Babylonia elos esukak inkul fulat sin tokosra, oayapa lohm nukewa sin mwet uh, ac rakinya pot Jerusalem.
The Kasdim burned the king’s house and the people’s houses with fire and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
9 Na Nebuzaradan, captain lun mwet mweun, el usla mwet lula nukewa in siti uh nu Babylonia, wi mwet nukewa ma tuh kaingme nu inpaol.
Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the rest of the people who remained in the city, the deserters also who fell away to him, and the rest of the people who remained.
10 El filiya kutu sin mwet sukasrup ma wanginna acn ku kutena ma lalos in mutana Judah, ac el sang nien grape ac acn in ima lalos.
But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
11 Tusruktu Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el sap Nebuzaradan, captain fulat, elan oru na ma el sap in orek inge:
Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon commanded Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard concerning Jeremiah, saying,
12 “Som ac konalak Jeremiah, ac karinganulang akwoya. Nimet oru kutena ma nu sel, a oru kewa ma el enenu an.”
“Take him and take care of him. Do him no harm; but do to him even as he tells you.”
13 Ouinge Nebuzaradan, wi mwet fulat luo inge: Nebushazban ac Nergal Sarezer, oayapa mwet kol nukewa saya lun tokosra Babylonia,
So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, Nebushazban, Rabsaris, and Nergal Sharezer, Rabmag, and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon
14 elos usyume liki inkalkal lun mwet san ke inkul fulat sin tokosra. Elos eisyuyang nu inpaol Gedaliah, wen natul Ahikam ac nutin natul Shaphan. Ma kunal in liye lah nga moul nwe ke nga ac sun acn sik. Ouinge nga muta we inmasrlon mwet uh.
sent and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should bring him home. So he lived among the people.
15 Ke nga srakna kaul in kalkal lun mwet san, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik
Now the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
16 nga in fahkang nu sel Ebedmelech, mwet Ethiopia sac, lah LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, El fahk, “Nga tuh fahk mu nga ac sang mwe ongoiya nu fin siti se inge, ac tia sang mwe insewowo. Inge nga akola in oru oana nga tuh fahk ah, na kom ac mutana we ac liye ke ma inge ac sikyak.
“Go, and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, ‘The LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will bring my words on this city for evil, and not for good; and they will be accomplished before you in that day.
17 Tusruktu nga, LEUM GOD, fah karingin kom, ac kom ac fah tia itukyang nu inpoun mwet ma kom sangeng se uh.
But I will deliver you in that day,” says the LORD; “and you will not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.
18 Nga fah liyekomyang tuh kom in moulna ac tia anwuki. Kom ac fah painmoulla mweyen kom filiya lulalfongi lom in nga. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
For I will surely save you. You won’t fall by the sword, but you will escape with your life, because you have put your trust in me,” says the LORD.’”
