Jeremiah 43

1 Nga aksafyela in fahk ma nukewa nu sin mwet uh ma LEUM GOD lalos El supweyu in fahk nu selos.

And it came to pass, that when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking to all the people all the words of the LORD their God, for which the LORD their God had sent him to them, even all these words,

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.

Then spoke Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying to Jeremiah, You speak falsely: the LORD our God has not sent you to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there:

3 Baruch, wen natul Neriah, el pirikkomyak lain kut, tuh mwet Babylonia fah ku facsr ac unikuti, ku uskutla nu Babylonia.”

But Baruch the son of Neriah sets you on against us, for to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and carry us away captives 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.

So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the LORD, to dwell 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 captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all nations, where they had been driven, to dwell 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.

Even men, and women, and children, and the king’s daughters, and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and 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.

So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: thus came they even to Tahpanhes.

8 In acn Tahpanhes LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,

Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah in 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 hide them in the clay in the brick kiln, which is at the entry of Pharaoh’s house in 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 say to them, Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne on these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over 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 when he comes, he shall smite the land of Egypt, and deliver such as are for death to death; and such as are for captivity to captivity; and such as are 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 I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd puts on his garment; and he shall go forth from there in peace.

13 El fah kunausla sru ma oalkinyuk in acn Heliopolis in Egypt, ac el fah furreak tempul lun god lun mwet Egypt.”

He shall break also the images of Bethshemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire.
