Jeremiah 40
1 Nga tuh kapir ke sein ac utukla wi mwet Jerusalem ac mwet Judah su ac som mwet sruoh nu Babylonia. LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik tukun Nebuzaradan, captain fulat lun un mwet mweun, el tuleyula in acn Ramah.
The worde which came to Ieremiah from the Lord after that Nebuzar-adan the chiefe stewarde had let him goe from Ramath, when hee had taken him being bound in chaines among all that were caried away captiue of Ierusalem and Iudah, which were caried away captiue vnto Babel.
2 Captain fulat sac el pangonyu ac fahk nu sik, “LEUM GOD lom El sulkakin tari lah mwe ongoiya inge ac tuku nu fin facl se inge.
And the chiefe stewarde tooke Ieremiah, and said vnto him, The Lord thy God hath pronounced this plague vpon this place.
3 Na inge El oru oana ma El fahk. Ma inge nukewa sikyak ke sripen mwet lom orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD ac tia aksol.
Nowe the Lord hath brought it, and done according as he hath said: because ye haue sinned against the Lord, and haue not obeyed his voyce, therefore this thing is come vpon you.
4 Inge, nga ac eisla sein liki poum ac aksukosokyekomla. Kom fin lungse, kom ku in wiyu som nu Babylonia, ac nga fah karingin kom. Tusruktu kom fin tia lungse wiyu som, na kom ku in sifacna sulela kutena acn kom lungse muta we in facl se inge nufon.”
And nowe beholde, I loose thee this day from the chaines which were on thine handes, if it please thee to come with me into Babel, come, and I will looke well vnto thee: but if it please thee not to come with mee into Babel, tarie still: beholde, all the lande is before thee: whither it seemeth good, and conuenient for thee to goe, thither goe.
5 Na ke nga pahtlac in topkol, Nebuzaradan el fahk, “Kom fin lungse mutana inge, kom ku in folokla nu yorol Gedaliah, wen natul Ahikam su ma natul Shaphan, su tokosra lun Babylonia el tuh sulella elan governor ke siti lun Judah. Kom ku in muta yorol inmasrlon mwet uh, ku kom ku in som nu kutena acn kom lungse muta we.” Na el se nu sik mwe kite se ac mwe mongo nga in us, ac filiyula in som.
For yet he was not returned: therefore he said, Returne to Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam, the sonne of Shaphan, whom the King of Babel hath made gouernour ouer all the cities of Iudah, and dwell with him among the people, or goe wheresoeuer it pleaseth thee to goe. So the chiefe stewarde gaue him vitailes and a rewarde, and let him goe.
6 Na nga folokla nu yorol Gedaliah in acn Mizpah, ac muta inmasrlon mwet ma lula in facl sac.
Then went Ieremiah vnto Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam, to Mizpah, and dwelt there with him among the people that were left in the lande.
7 Kutu sin mwet fulat ac mwet mweun lun mwet Judah su tia eisalosyang nu inpoun mwet Babylonia, elos lohngak lah tokosra Babylonia el srisrngilya Gedaliah elan governor lun facl Judah, ac sang elan leumi mwet nukewa su tia utukla nu Babylonia. Mwet inge pa sukasrup oemeet in facl sac.
Nowe when all the captaines of the hoste, which were in the fieldes, euen they and their men heard, that the King of Babel had made Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam gouernour in the land, and that he had committed vnto him, men, and women, and children, and of the poore of the lande, that were not caried away captiue to Babel,
8 Ouinge Ishmael wen natul Nathaniah, Johanan wen natul Kareah, Seraiah wen natul Tanhumeth, ac wen ekasr natul Ephai mwet Netophah, ac Jezaniah mwet Maacah, wi mwet lalos elos som nu yorol Gedaliah in acn Mizpah.
Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, euen Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah, and Iohanan, and Ionathan the sonnes of Kareah, and Seraiah the sonne of Tanehumeth, and the sonnes of Ephai, the Netophathite, and Iezaniah the sonne of Maachathi, they and their men.
9 Na Gedaliah el fahk nu selos, “Nga fahk na pwaye nu suwos lah kowos tia enenu in sangeng in filikowosyang nu sin mwet Babylonia. Kowos in oakwuki in facl se inge ac orekma nu sin tokosra lun Babylonia, ac ma nukewa ac fah wo nu suwos.
And Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam, the sonne of Shaphan sware vnto them, and to their men, saying, Feare not to serue the Caldeans: dwell in the lande, and serue the King of Babel, and it shall be well with you.
10 Ac funu nga, nga ac mutana Mizpah, ac nga fah aol kowos in sramsram nu sin mwet Babylonia ke pacl elos ac tuku nu yen uh. Na kowos in folokla nu in acn kowos muta we, ac orani kosrani lowos ke wain, fokinsak, ac oil in olive, ac karinganang ke nien filma lowos.”
As for me, Beholde, I will dwell at Mizpah to serue the Caldeans, which will come vnto vs: but you, gather you wine, and sommer fruites, and oyle, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities, that ye haue taken.
11 In pacl sac pacna, mwet Israel nukewa su muta Moab, Ammon, Edom ac kutu pac facl saya, lohngak lah tokosra lun Babylonia el lela kutu sin mwet Israel in mutana in facl Judah, ac el srisrngilya Gedaliah elan governor lalos.
Likewise when all the Iewes that were in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and that were in all the countries, heard that the King of Babel had left a remnant of Iudah, and that he had set ouer them Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam the sonne of Shaphan,
12 Ke ma inge elos tuku liki acn elos fahsrelik muta we, ac folokla nu Judah. Elos som nu yorol Gedaliah in acn Mizpah, na elos usani wain ac fokinsak puspis.
Euen all the Iewes returned out of all places where they were driuen, and came to the land of Iudah to Gedaliah vnto Mizpah, and gathered wine and sommer fruites, very much.
13 Tukun ma inge, Johanan ac mwet kol lun mwet mweun su tia wi srasrapo nu sin mwet Babylonia elos tuku nu yorol Gedaliah in acn Mizpah
Moreouer Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and all the captaines of the hoste, that were in the fieldes, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,
14 ac fahk nu sel, “Ya kom etu lah Tokosra Baalis lun Ammon el supwalma Ishmael elan akmusekomi?” Tusruktu Gedaliah el tiana lulalfongi.
And said vnto him, Knowest thou not that Baalis the King of the Ammonites hath sent Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah to slay thee? But Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam beleeued them not.
15 Na Johanan el tuku nu yorol in lukma ac fahk nu sel, “Lela nga in som unilya Ishmael, ac wangin mwet ac etu lah su orala. Efu ku in filfilla elan akmusekomi? Ac oru mwet Jew nukewa su tukeni muta raunikomla inge in kaingelik, ac ma se inge ac pwanang ongoiya nu fin mwet nukewa su lula muta in acn Judah.”
Then Iohanan the sonne of Kareah spake to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me goe, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it. Wherefore should he kill thee, that all the Iewes, which are gathered vnto thee, shoulde be scattered, and the remnant in Iudah perish?
16 Tusruktu Gedaliah el topuk, “Nimet oru ma sacn! Tia pwaye ma kom fahk kacl Ishmael!”
But Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam said vnto Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, Thou shalt not doe this thing: for thou speakest falsely of Ishmael.
