Jeremiah 43
1 Nga aksafyela in fahk ma nukewa nu sin mwet uh ma LEUM GOD lalos El supweyu in fahk nu selos.
Then it happened that, when Jeremiah had finished speaking all the words of the Lord their God to the people, all those words concerning which the Lord their God had sent him to them,
2 Na Azariah wen natul Hoshaiah, ac Johanan wen natul Kareah, ac mwet enum saya nukewa elos fahk nu sik, “Kom kikiap. LEUM GOD lasr El tiana supwekom in fahk nu sesr kut in tia som muta Egypt.
Azariah, the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the exalted men, spoke to Jeremiah, saying: “You are speaking a lie! The Lord our God has not sent you to say: ‘You shall not enter into Egypt so as to live in that place.’
3 Baruch, wen natul Neriah, el pirikkomyak lain kut, tuh mwet Babylonia fah ku facsr ac unikuti, ku uskutla nu Babylonia.”
Instead, Baruch, the son of Neriah, has incited you against us, so as to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, to put us to death and to cause us to be led away into Babylon.”
4 Ouinge Johanan, ac mwet fulat lun un mwet mweun, ac mwet nukewa, tiana akos sap lun LEUM GOD tuh elos in mutana in facl Judah.
And so Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the warriors, and all the people, did not heed the voice of the Lord to remain in the land of Judah.
5 Na Johanan, ac mwet fulat nukewa lun un mwet mweun, elos usla mwet nukewa su lula in facl Judah nu Egypt, weang mwet nukewa su foloko liki mutunfacl puspis ma elos fahsrelik nu we:
But Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the warriors, took away all the remnant of Judah, who had returned from all the nations (to which they had been scattered before) to live in the land of Judah:
6 mukul, mutan, tulik, ac acn nutin tokosra, oayapa nga ac Baruch — aok, mwet nukewa su captain fulat Nebuzaradan el tuh filiya ye karinginyuk lal Gedaliah.
men, and women, and children, and the daughters of the king, and every soul that Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, had left behind with Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, as well as Jeremiah, the prophet, and Baruch, the son of Neriah.
7 Elos tia akos sap lun LEUM GOD, a elos som na nu Egypt, ac fahlana nwe ke siti Tahpanhes.
And they entered into the land of Egypt. For they did not obey the voice of the Lord. And they went as far as Tahpanhes.
8 In acn Tahpanhes LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes, saying:
9 “Eis kutu eot lulap ac pikinya ye acn se ma pave ke nien utyak nu in lohm sin tokosra in siti se inge. Lela kutu sin mwet Judah in liye ke kom oru.
“Take great stones in your hand, and you shall conceal them in the crypt which is under the brick wall at the gate of the house of Pharaoh at Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah.
10 Na fahk nu selos lah nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, ac fah usalu mwet kulansap luk, Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia, nu yenu, ac el fah likiya tron lal fin eot ma kom pikinya inge, na el fah laknelik lohm nuknuk sel fac.
And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send for and take Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will set his throne over these stones which I have concealed, and he will establish his throne upon them.
11 Nebuchadnezzar el ac tuku ac kutangla Egypt. Mwet ma srisrngiyuki in misa ke mas fah misa ke mas, elos su srisrngiyuki in utukla nu ke sruoh ac fah utukla sruoh, ac elos su srisrngiyuki in anwuki ke mweun ac fah misa ke mweun.
And he will come and strike the land of Egypt: those who are meant for death, shall go to death, and those for captivity, to captivity, and those for the sword, to the sword.
12 Nga fah esukak tempul lun god nukewa lun Egypt, ac tokosra lun Babylonia el fin tia esukak ma sruloala lalos, el ac usla. Oana ke sie shepherd el ac kunesla kuut uh liki nuknuk lal, ouinge tokosra lun Babylonia fah sisla ma nukewa ma akkolukyela facl Egypt. Na tukun el kutangla, el ac som liki acn we.
And he will kindle a fire in the shrines of the gods of Egypt, and he will burn them down, and he will lead them away captive. And he will clothe himself with the land of Egypt, just as a shepherd is clothed with his cloak. And he will go forth from that place in peace.
13 El fah kunausla sru ma oalkinyuk in acn Heliopolis in Egypt, ac el fah furreak tempul lun god lun mwet Egypt.”
And he will crush the statues of the house of the Sun, those that are in the land of Egypt, and the shrines of the gods of Egypt he will burn up with fire.”
