Jeremiah 32

1 LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik in yac se aksingoul ke Zedekiah el tokosra lun Judah, su pa yac aksingoul oalkosr ke Nebuchadnezzar el tokosra lun Babylonia.

This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.

2 In pacl sac, un mwet mweun lun tokosra lun Babylonia elos kuhlusya acn Jerusalem, ac nga kauli in kalkal lun mwet san inkul sin tokosra.

Now at that time the king of Babylon’s army was besieging Jerusalem. Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah’s house.

3 Tokosra Zedekiah el kaliyuwi we ke sripen nga fahkak mu LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah lela tokosra Babylonia in sruokya siti se inge,

For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, “Why do you prophesy, and say, ‘The LORD says, “Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will take it;

4 ac Tokosra Zedekiah el fah tia ku in kaingla. Ac fah itukyang el nu inpoun tokosra Babylonia. Eltal fah ngetani sie sin sie, ac sramsram.

and Zedekiah king of Judah won’t escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but will surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and will speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes will see his eyes;

5 Ac fah utukla Zedekiah nu Babylonia, ac el fah mutana we nwe ke nga sulela ma fal in orek nu sel. El finne mweuni mwet Babylonia, el ac fah tiana kutangla. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”

and he will bring Zedekiah to Babylon, and he will be there until I visit him,” says the LORD, “though you fight with the Chaldeans, you will not prosper”’?”

6 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik lah

Jeremiah said, “The LORD’s word came to me, saying,

7 Hanamel, wen natul Shallum su matu lukel papa, el ac tuku nu yuruk ac siyuk nga in molela ima se lal in acn Anathoth in facl sin Benjamin, mweyen nga pa sou fototo oemeet nu sel, ac oasr suwohs luk in molela ima sac luk.

‘Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle will come to you, saying, “Buy my field that is in Anathoth; for the right of redemption is yours to buy it.”’”

8 Na oana ke LEUM GOD El fahk ah, Hanamel el tuku nu yuruk ke inkul lun tokosra, ac siyuk ngan molela ima sac. Ke ma inge nga etu lah pwaye LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik.

“So Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the guard according to the LORD’s word, and said to me, ‘Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours. Buy it for yourself.’ “Then I knew that this was the LORD’s word.

9 Na nga molela ima sac sel Hanamel, ac pauniya molo ah, su oasr ke ipin silver singoul itkosr.

I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.

10 Nga sainiya inek ke pwepu in kuka acn, ac siliya ye mutun mwet loh, na nga pauniya molo ah ke mwe paun.

I signed the deed, sealed it, called witnesses, and weighed the money in the balances to him.

11 Nga eis pwepu luo ma simla oakwuk nukewa ke acn kukala sac — sie oasr sil kac, ac sie wangin sil kac —

So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, containing the terms and conditions, and that which was open;

12 ac nga sang pwepu inge nu sel Baruch, wen natul Neriah su ma natul Mahseiah. Nga oru ma inge nukewa ye mutal Hanamel ac ye mutun mwet loh su wi pac sain inelos ke pwepu in kuka sac, oayapa ye mutun mwet su wi muta inkul lun tokosra.

and I delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the witnesses who signed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the guard.

13 Ye mutalos nukewa nga fahk nu sel Baruch,

“I commanded Baruch before them, saying,

14 “LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, El sap kom in eis pwepu inge, kewana ma siliyuki ac ma wangin sil kac, ac in filiya in sie sufa eot tuh in ku in oan kawil nu ke yac puspis fahsru.

the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase which is sealed, and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may last many days.’

15 LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, El fahk mu lohm, ima, ac nien grape fah sifilpa kukakinyuk in facl se inge.”

For the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says: ‘Houses and fields and vineyards will yet again be bought in this land.’

16 Tukun nga sang pwepu in kuka sac nu sel Baruch, na nga pre,

Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD, saying,

17 “LEUM GOD Fulatlana, kom orala faclu ac kusrao ke ku lulap lom. Wanginna ma upa nu sum.

“Ah Lord GOD! Behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for you.

18 Kom akkalemye lungse kawil lom nu sin tausin fwil, tusruktu kom oayapa kai mwet ke sripen ma koluk lun papa tumalos ac nina kialos. Kom sie God fulat ac ku. Kom LEUM GOD Kulana.

You show loving kindness to thousands, and repay the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them. The great, the mighty God, the LORD of Armies is your name:

19 Kom oru lemlem lalmwetmet ac oru orekma usrnguk ac kulana. Kom liye ma nukewa ma mwet uh oru, ac kom sang nu selos fal nu ke orekma lalos.

great in counsel, and mighty in work; whose eyes are open to all the ways of the children of men, to give everyone according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings;

20 Pacl loes somla kom orek mwenmen ac ma usrnguk in acn Egypt, ac kom srakna oru nwe misenge in acn Israel ac inmasrlon mutunfacl saya nukewa. Inge eteyuk kom yen nukewa.

who performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even to this day, both in Israel and amongst other men; and made yourself a name, as it is today;

21 Ke mwenmen ac usrnguk ma aksangengye mwet lokoalok lasr, kom orekmakin ku lulap lom in use mwet lom liki facl Egypt.

and brought your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, with wonders, with a strong hand, with an outstretched arm, and with great terror;

22 Kom sang nu selos acn mut ac kasrup fohk we, oana kom tuh wulela nu sin mwet matu lalos.

and gave them this land, which you swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey.

23 Tusruktu ke elos utyak nu in facl se inge ac sruokya tuh in ma lalos, elos tuh tia akos ma sap lom, ku moul fal nu ke mwe luti lom. Elos tia oru kutena ma kom sapkin nu selos, pwanang kom use mwe ongoiya inge nukewa nu faclos.

They came in and possessed it, but they didn’t obey your voice and didn’t walk in your law. They have done nothing of all that you commanded them to do. Therefore you have caused all this evil to come upon them.

24 “Liye, mwet Babylonia elos elosak tari acn in fan lalos nu fin pot uh, ac inge elos mweuni. Ke sripen mweun, sracl, ac mas upa, elos ac sruokya siti uh. Kom ku in liye lah ma kom tuh fahk ah nufon akpwayeiyuk.

“Behold, siege ramps have been built against the city to take it. The city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of the sword, of the famine, and of the pestilence. What you have spoken has happened. Behold, you see it.

25 Tusruktu, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, kom pa sapkin nga in molela ima sac ye mutun mwet loh, siti uh finne apkuran in sruhu sin mwet Babylonia.”

You have said to me, Lord GOD, ‘Buy the field for money, and call witnesses;’ whereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.”

26 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,

Then the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,

27 “Nga LEUM GOD, God lun mwet nukewa faclu. Wanginna ma upa nu sik.

“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?

28 Nga ac fah sang siti se inge nu inpaol Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia ac un mwet mweun lal. Elos ac sruokya

Therefore the LORD says: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will take it.

29 ac esukak. Elos ac furreak nwe ke apatla, wi pacna lohm ma mwet uh akkasrkusrakyeyu we ke elos esukak mwe keng nu sel Baal fin lohm selos, ac ke elos okoala mwe kisa wain nu sin god saya.

The Chaldeans, who fight against this city, will come and set this city on fire, and burn it with the houses on whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger.

30 Oe ke mutaweyen sramsram kaclos me, mutunfacl Israel ac Judah elos tiana oru lungse luk, ac elso akkasrkusrakyeyu ke ma elos oru.

“For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done only that which was evil in my sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, says the LORD.

31 Mwet in siti se inge elos arulana angonyu ac akkasrkusrakyeyu, mutawauk na ke tufahna musaeak siti se inge nwe misenge. Nga wotela ku sik mu nga ac sukela

For this city has been to me a provocation of my anger and of my wrath from the day that they built it even to this day, so that I should remove it from before my face,

32 ke sripen ma koluk nukewa ma orekla sin mwet Judah ac Jerusalem, weang pac tokosra, mwet kol, mwet tol, ac mwet palu lalos.

because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger—they, their kings, their princes, their priests, their prophets, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

33 Elos totulikiyula, ac nga nwe kwafeang in lotelos elos tiana porongeyu ku eis mwe luti luk.

They have turned their backs to me, and not their faces. Although I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not listened to receive instruction.

34 Elos oru nwe ke na elos filiya pac ma sruloala srungayuk lalos uh in Tempul ma musaiyukla tuh in nien alu nu sik, ouinge elos akfohkfokyela.

But they set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.

35 Elos etoak loang nu sel Baal ke Infahlfal Hinnom in kisakin wen ac acn natulos nu sel Molech, god lalos. Nga tiana sapkin elos in oru ma inge, ac nga tia pacna nunku mu elos ac ku in oru ouiya inge, in tuh pwanang mwet Judah elos oru ma koluk.”

They built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through fire to Molech, which I didn’t command them. It didn’t even come into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.”

36 LEUM GOD lun Israel El fahk nu sik, “Jeremiah, mwet uh fahk mu mweun, sracl, ac mas upa ac oru siti se inge in itukyang nu inpoun tokosra lun Babylonia. Inge, porongo pac ma nga ac fahk uh.

Now therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, says concerning this city, about which you say, “It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence:”

37 Nga ac fah eisani mwet uh liki mutunfacl nukewa ma nga akfahsryeloselik nu we ke sripen mulat ac kasrkusrak luk, ac nga ac fah folokunulosme nu in acn se inge, ac oru tuh elos in mutana we ac tia fosrnga.

“Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries where I have driven them in my anger, and in my wrath, and in great indignation; and I will bring them again to this place. I will cause them to dwell safely.

38 Elos ac fah mwet luk, ac nga ac fah God lalos.

Then they will be my people, and I will be their God.

39 Nga fah sang nu selos sripa sefanna nu ke moul lalos: in akfulatyeyu pacl nukewa, tuh in wo nu selos sifacna ac oayapa nu sin fwilin tulik natulos.

I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their good and the good of their children after them.

40 Nga fah oru sie wuleang yorolos su ma na nwe tok. Nga fah tiana tui in oru ma wo nu selos, ac nga fah oru elos in sangeng sik ke insialos nufon tuh elos fah tiana sifil forla likiyu.

I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good. I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me.

41 Nga fah arulana insewowo in oru ma wo nu selos, ac nga fah oakelosi in facl se inge nwe tok.

Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.”

42 “In oana ke nga tuh sang mwe ongoiya se inge nu fin mwet inge, nga fah oayapa sang nu selos ma wo nukewa ma nga wulela kac.

For the LORD says: “Just as I have brought all this great evil on this people, so I will bring on them all the good that I have promised them.

43 Mwet uh fahk mu acn se inge ac fah oana sie acn mwesis ma wangin mwet ku ma orakrak muta we, ac lah ac mau itukyang nu inpoun mwet Babylonia. Tusruktu acn in ima ac fah sifilpa kukakinyuk ac moliyuk in acn se inge.

Fields will be bought in this land, about which you say, ‘It is desolate, without man or animal. It is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.’

44 Mwet uh ac molela acn, ac pwepu kac ac fah sainiyuki ac siliyuki ye mutun mwet loh. Ma inge ac fah orek in facl sin Benjamin, in siti srisrik ma rauneak Jerusalem, inkul srisrik lun Judah, yen tohktok uh, pe eol uh, ac layen eir in Judah. Nga fah folokunla mwet uh nu in facl selos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”

Men will buy fields for money, sign the deeds, seal them, and call witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places around Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, in the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South; for I will cause their captivity to be reversed,” says the LORD.
