< Jeremiah 39 >

1 And it came about, that when Jerusalem was taken, (in the ninth year of Zedekiah, king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, with all his army, came against Jerusalem, shutting it in on every side;
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.
2 In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the town was broken into: )
Ke len se akeu in malem akakosr in yac aksingoul sie ma Zedekiah el tokosra, mwet Babylonia elos fukulya pot uh ac utyak. (
3 All the captains of the king of Babylon came in and took their places in the middle doorway of the town, Nergal-shar-ezer, ruler of Sin-magir, the Rabmag, and Nebushazban, the Rab-saris, and all the captains of the king of Babylon.
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.)
4 And when Zedekiah, king of Judah, and all the men of war saw it, they went in flight from the town by night, by the way of the king's garden, through the doorway between the two walls: and they went out by the Arabah.
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.
5 But the Chaldaean army went after them and overtook Zedekiah in the lowlands of Jericho: and they made him a prisoner and took him up to Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, to Riblah in the land of Hamath, to be judged by him.
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.
6 Then the king of Babylon put the sons of Zedekiah to death before his eyes in Riblah: and the king of Babylon put to death all the great men of Judah.
El uniya wen natul Zedekiah ye mutal in acn Riblah, ac el oayapa sap in anwuki mwet leum lun Judah nukewa.
7 And more than this, he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and had him put in chains to take him away to Babylon.
Tukun ma inge, el sap tipulyukla atronmutal Zedekiah, ac kapiri el ke sein in utukla nu Babylonia.
8 And the Chaldaeans put the king's house on fire, as well as the houses of the people, and had the walls of Jerusalem broken down.
In pacl sacna, mwet Babylonia elos esukak inkul fulat sin tokosra, oayapa lohm nukewa sin mwet uh, ac rakinya pot Jerusalem.
9 Then Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away to Babylon as prisoners, all the rest of the workmen who were still in the town, as well as those who had given themselves up to him, and all the rest of the people.
Na Nebuzaradan, captain lun mwet mweun, el usla mwet lula nukewa in siti uh nu Babylonia, wi mwet nukewa ma tuh kaingme nu inpaol.
10 But Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, let the poorest of the people, who had nothing whatever, go on living in the land of Judah, and gave them vine-gardens and fields at the same time.
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.
11 Now Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, gave orders about Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, saying,
Tusruktu Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el sap Nebuzaradan, captain fulat, elan oru na ma el sap in orek inge:
12 Take him and keep an eye on him and see that no evil comes to him; but do with him whatever he says to you.
“Som ac konalak Jeremiah, ac karinganulang akwoya. Nimet oru kutena ma nu sel, a oru kewa ma el enenu an.”
13 So Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, sent Nebushazban, the Rab-saris, and Nergal-shar-ezer, the Rabmag, and all the chief captains of the king of Babylon,
Ouinge Nebuzaradan, wi mwet fulat luo inge: Nebushazban ac Nergal Sarezer, oayapa mwet kol nukewa saya lun tokosra Babylonia,
14 And they sent and took Jeremiah out of the place of the watchmen, and gave him into the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, to take him to his house: so he was living among the people.
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.
15 Now the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the place of the armed watchmen, saying,
Ke nga srakna kaul in kalkal lun mwet san, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik
16 Go and say to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, my words will come true for this town, for evil and not for good: they will come about before your eyes on that day.
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.
17 But I will keep you safe on that day, says the Lord: you will not be given into the hands of the men you are fearing.
Tusruktu nga, LEUM GOD, fah karingin kom, ac kom ac fah tia itukyang nu inpoun mwet ma kom sangeng se uh.
18 For I will certainly let you go free, and you will not be put to the sword, but your life will be given to you out of the hands of your attackers: because you have put your faith in me, says the Lord.
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.”
