Jeremiah 36
1 In yac se akakosr ma Jehoiakim, wen natul Josiah, el tokosra lun Judah, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
It came about in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, and he said,
2 “Eis sie book limlim ac simusla ma nukewa ma nga tuh fahk nu sum lain Israel ac Judah ac mutunfacl nukewa. Simusla ma nukewa nga tuh fahk nu sum, ke pacl se emeet nga kaskas nu sum in pacl lal Tokosra Josiah nwe misenge.
“Take a scroll for yourself and write on it all the words that I have told you concerning Israel and Judah, and every nation. Do this for everything I have told from the days of Josiah until this very day.
3 Sahp ke mwet Judah ac lohng ke ma upa nukewa nga akoo in oru nu selos, elos ac forla liki ouiyen moul koluk lalos. Na nga fah nunak munas ke ma koluk ac ma sutuu lalos.”
Perhaps the people of Judah will listen to all the disasters that I intend to bring on them. Perhaps everyone will turn away from his wicked way, so I can forgive their iniquity and their sin.”
4 Ouinge nga pangnol Baruch, wen natul Neriah, ac fahkang nu sel ma nukewa ma LEUM GOD El tuh fahkma nu sik. Ac Baruch el simusla ma inge nukewa in sie book limlim.
Then Jeremiah called Baruch son of Neriah, and Baruch wrote in a scroll, at Jeremiah's dictation, all the words of Yahweh spoken to him.
5 Na nga fahkang nu sel Baruch ma elan oru: “Tia filfilla nga in som nu in Tempul.
Next Jeremiah gave a command to Baruch. He said, “I am in prison and cannot go to Yahweh's house.
6 Ke ma inge kom fah som nu we ke pacl mwet uh ac sifil tukeni in lalo. Kom fah riti book limlim uh elos in lohng ma nukewa LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, ac nga takin nu sum. Riti ma inge ke sie acn ma mwet nukewa ku in lohng kom we, weang mwet Judah su tuku liki siti srisrik selos.
So you must go and read from the scroll that you wrote at my dictation. On the day of the fast, you must read Yahweh's words in the hearing of the people in his house, and also in the hearing of all of Judah who have come from their cities. Proclaim these words to them.
7 Sahp elos fah pre nu sin LEUM GOD, ac forla liki moul koluk lalos, mweyen LEUM GOD El akkalemye tari ma El akoo in sang lainulos ke mulat ac kasrkusrak yohk lal.”
Perhaps their pleas for mercy will come before Yahweh. Perhaps each person will turn from his wicked way, since the wrath and fury that Yahweh has proclaimed against this people are severe.”
8 Ouinge Baruch el riti kas lun LEUM GOD in Tempul oana ke nga supwal in oru.
So Baruch son of Neriah did everything that Jeremiah the prophet had commanded him to do. He read aloud the words of Yahweh in the house of Yahweh.
9 In malem se akeu ke yac se aklimekosr ke Jehoiakim, wen natul Josiah, el tokosra lun Judah, mwet Jerusalem nukewa, oayapa mwet nukewa su tuku liki siti srisrik lun Judah, elos tukeni lalo ye mutun LEUM GOD.
It came about in the fifth year and ninth month of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, that all the people in Jerusalem and the people who came to Jerusalem from the cities of Judah proclaimed a fast before Yahweh.
10 Na ke mwet nukewa porongo, Baruch el riti ma nukewa nga tuh fahk nu sel su simla in book limlim sac. El tu in Tempul ke infukil sel Gemariah, wen natul Shaphan mwet sim lun inkul lun tokosra. Infukil se inge oan lucng, apkuran nu ke acn in utyak lun Mutunpot Sasu lun Tempul.
Baruch read aloud Jeremiah's words in the house of Yahweh, from the room of Gemariah son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper courtyard, by the gate of the entrance to the house of Yahweh. He did this in the hearing of all the people.
11 Micaiah, wen natul Gemariah su ma natul Shaphan, el lohng ke Baruch el riti kas nukewa lun LEUM GOD ma simla in book limlim sac.
Now Micaiah son of Gemariah son of Shaphan heard all of Yahweh's words in the scroll.
12 Na el som nu inkul fulat sin tokosra, nu infukil sin mwet sim lun tokosra, yen mwet leum nukewa tukeni we. Elishama, su mwet sim lun tokosra, Delaiah wen natul Shemaiah, Elnathan wen natul Achbor, Gemariah wen natul Shaphan, Zedekiah wen natul Hananiah, ac mwet leum saya nukewa elos oasr we.
He went down to the house of the king, to the secretary's room. Look, all the officials were sitting there: Elishama the secretary, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Akbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the officials.
13 Micaiah el fahkang nu selos ma nukewa ma el lohng Baruch el riti nu sin mwet uh.
Then Micaiah reported to them all the words that he had heard that Baruch read aloud in the hearing of the people.
14 Na mwet leum elos supwalla Jehudi (wen natul Nethaniah, su ma natul Shelemiah, su ma natul Cushi) in fahk nu sel Baruch elan use book limlim se ma el tuh riti nu sin mwet ah. Na Baruch el use book limlim sac nu yorolos.
So all the officials sent Jehudi son of Nethaniah son of Shelemiah son of Cushi, to Baruch. Jehudi said to Baruch, “Take the scroll in your hand, the scroll from which you were reading in the hearing of the people, and come.” So Baruch son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand and went to the officials.
15 Na elos fahk, “Fahsru muta, ac riti book limlim sacn nu sesr.” Na Baruch el riti nu selos.
Then they said to him, “Sit down and read this in our hearing.” So Baruch read the scroll.
16 Tukun el riti tari, elos ngetani nu sin sie sin sie ke lut ac fosrnga, ac elos fahk nu sel Baruch, “Kut enenu in fahkang ma inge nu sel tokosra.”
It happened that when they heard all these words, each man turned in fear to the one next to him and said to Baruch, “We must certainly report all of these words to the king.”
17 Na elos siyuk sel Baruch, “Fahk nu sesr lah fuka tuh kom simusla ma inge nukewa? Ya Jeremiah pa fahkot ma kom in simis uh?”
Then they asked Baruch, “Tell us, how did you come to write all these words at Jeremiah's dictation?”
18 Baruch el topuk, “Jeremiah el fahk kas inge nukewa nu sik, na nga simusla ke ink nu in book limlim se inge.”
Baruch said to them, “He dictated all these words to me, and I wrote them in ink on this scroll.”
19 Na elos fahk nu sel, “Kom ac Jeremiah enenu in som wikla. Taran mwet in tia etu yen komtal wikla we.”
Then the officials said to Baruch, “Go, hide yourself, and Jeremiah, too. Do not let anyone know where you are.”
20 Mwet leum elos filiya book limlim sac infukil sel Elishama, mwet sim lun tokosra, na elos som nu inkalkal lun tokosra, ac srumunang ma inge nukewa nu sel.
So they put the scroll in the room of Elishama the secretary, and they went to the king in the courtyard and they reported everything in the hearing of the king.
21 Na tokosra el supwalla Jehudi elan use book limlim sac. El som use liki infukil sel Elishama ac riti nu sel tokosra ac mwet leum nukewa su tu raunella.
Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll. Jehudi took it from the room of Elishama the secretary. Then he read it in the hearing of the king and all the officials who were standing beside him.
22 Pacl sac pacl in mihsrisr, ouinge tokosra el muta sisken e se ke nien ta e in lohm se el muta we ke pacl in mihsrisr.
Now the king was staying in the winter house in the ninth month, and a brazier was burning in front of him.
23 Tukunna Jehudi el ritela tak tolkwe ku akosr kac, na tokosra el sang mitmit srisrik se supukla ac sisang nu in e sac. El sipik, na firri, nwe ke na lisr book limlim sac.
It happened that as Jehudi read three or four columns, the king would cut it off with a knife and throw it into the fire in the brazier until all of the scroll was destroyed.
24 Tokosra ac mwet leum lal nukewa su lohng ma ritiyuk inge tiana luman sangeng ku oela kutu srisrik.
But neither the king nor any of his servants who heard all these words were frightened, nor did they tear their clothes.
25 Elnathan, Delaiah, ac Gemariah nwe kwafe sel tokosra elan tia isik book limlim sac, a el tiana lohngoltal.
Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah had even urged the king not to burn the scroll, but he did not listen to them.
26 Toko el sapkin Fisrak Jerahmeel, welul Seraiah wen natul Azriel, ac Shelemiah wen natul Abdeel, in sruokyuwi ac Baruch mwet sim luk. Tusruktu LEUM GOD El wikinkutla.
Then the king commanded Jerahmeel, a relative, Seraiah son of Azriel, and Shelemiah son of Abdeel to arrest Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet, but Yahweh had hidden them.
27 Tukun Tokosra Jehoiakim el esukak book limlim se ma nga sap Baruch elan simusla kas nukewa nga fahk nu sel, na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik
Then the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah after the king had burned the scroll and the words that Baruch had written at Jeremiah's dictation, saying,
28 ngan eis sie pac book limlim, ac simusla kas nukewa ma oan in book se meet ah.
“Go back, take another scroll for yourself, and write in it all the words that were on the original scroll, the one that Jehoiakim king of Judah burned.
29 LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sik in fahk nu sel tokosra, “Kom esukak book limlim sac, ac kom tuh siyuk sel Jeremiah lah efu ku el simusla mu tokosra lun Babylonia ac tuku ac kunausla facl se inge ac onela mwet fac wi pac ma orakrak.
Then you must say this to Jehoiakim king of Judah: 'You burned that scroll, saying, “Why have you written on it, 'The king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, for he will destroy both man and beast in it'?”'”
30 Ke ma inge, Tokosra Jehoiakim, nga, LEUM GOD, fahk nu sum lah wangin sin fwilin tulik nutum ac fah leum fin tokosrai lal David. Mano misa lom ac fah sisila in oan ye fol lun faht ke len, ac ye ohu lun fong uh.
Therefore Yahweh says this concerning you, Jehoiakim king of Judah: “No descendant of yours will ever sit on the throne of David. As for you, your corpse will be thrown out into the heat of day and the frost of night.
31 Nga fah kalyei kom ac fwilin tulik nutum ac mwet leum lom, ke sripen orekma koluk nukewa kowos oru. Kowos, oayapa mwet Jerusalem ac mwet Judah, tiana porongo kas in sensenkakin luk nu suwos. Ouinge nga fah use nu fowos nukewa mwe ongoiya ma nga fahk tari mu nga ac oru.”
For I will punish you, your descendants, and your servants for the iniquity of you all. I will bring on you, on all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on every person in Judah all the disasters with which I have threatened you with, but to which you paid no attention.”
32 Na nga eis sie pac book limlim ac sang nu sel Baruch mwet sim luk, ac el simusla kas nukewa ma nga fahk nu sel. El simusla ma nukewa ma tuh oan in book limlim se ma Tokosra Jehoiakim el tuh esukak, wi pac kutu kas ma nga sang laesla.
So Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch son of Neriah the scribe. Baruch wrote on it at Jeremiah's dictation all the words that had been in the scroll burned by Jehoiakim king of Judah. Furthermore, many other similar words were added to this scroll.
