Jeremiah 21
1 Tokosra Zedekiah lun Judah el supwalma Pashhur wen natul Malchiah, ac mwet tol Zephaniah wen natul Maaseiah, nu yuruk. Elos use enenu se inge:
The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, when king Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur the son of Malchijah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the cohen, saying,
2 “Nunak munas, pre nu sin LEUM GOD kacsr, mweyen Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia ac mwet mweun lal elos kuhlusya siti uh. Sahp LEUM GOD El ac oru sie mwenmen lal ke sripasr, ac ukwalak Nebuchadnezzar liki kut.”
"Please inquire of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon makes war against us: perhaps the LORD will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us."
3 Na LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik, ac nga fahk nu sin mwet ma supweyuku nu yuruk
Then Jeremiah said to them, "You shall tell Zedekiah:
4 tuh elos in fahk nu sel Zedekiah lah LEUM GOD lun Israel El fahk, “Zedekiah, nga ac kutangla mwet lom su mweun lain tokosra lun Babylonia ac mwet lal. Nga fah elosak kufwen mwe mweun nutin mwet lom infulwen siti uh.
'Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, "Look, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans who besiege you, without the walls; and I will gather them into the midst of this city.
5 Nga fah sifacna mweun lain kom ke ku luk nufon, ac ke mulat ac kasrkusrak luk nufon.
I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation.
6 Nga fah onela ma nukewa su moul in siti se inge: kewana mwet ac ma orakrak ac fah misa ke sie mas upa.
I will strike the inhabitants of this city, both man and animal: they shall die of a great pestilence.
7 A kom, ac mwet pwapa fulat lom, ac mwet su painmoulla ke mweun, sracl, ac mas — nga ac fah lela kowos nukewa in sruoh sel Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar ac mwet lokoalok lowos su lungse unikowosi. Nebachudnezzar el ac fah unikowosi nukewa. El ac tiana nunak munas ku pakomuta kutena suwos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
Afterward," says the LORD, "I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, even such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life: and he shall strike them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy."'
8 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik nga in fahkang nu sin mwet uh, “Kowos in porongo! Nga, LEUM GOD, fah sot nu suwos in sulela inmasrlon inkanek nu ke moul ac inkanek nu ke misa.
To this people you shall say, "Thus says the LORD: 'Look, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.
9 Kutena mwet su muta in siti uh ac fah misa ke mweun ku ke masrinsral ku ke mas. Tusruktu kutena mwet su illa liki siti uh, ac sifacna eisalosyang nu inpoun mwet Babylonia su kuhlusya siti uh, ac fah moul.
He who remains in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he who goes out, and passes over to the Chaldeans who besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be to him for a prey.
10 Nga sulela ku sik lah nga fah tia molela siti se inge, a nga fah kunausla. Ac itukyang nu inpoun tokosra lun Babylonia, ac el ac fah esukak nwe ke apatla. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
For I have set my face on this city for evil, and not for good,' says the LORD: 'it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.'
11 Fahk nu sin sou oaleum lun Judah: Lohng kas lun LEUM GOD.
Touching the house of the king of Judah, hear the word of the LORD:
12 Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu suwos su fwilin tulik natul David: “Liyaung tuh nununku suwohs in orek ke len nukewa. Karinganang mwet ma pisreyukla ma la liki inpoun mwet pisrapasr. Kowos fin tia, na kasrkusrak luk ac fah tayak oana sie e su koflana kuniyukla.
'House of David, thus says the LORD, "Execute justice in the morning, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my wrath go forth like fire, and burn so that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
13 Mwet Jerusalem, kowos muta ke sie acn fulat, lucng liki infahlfal uh, oana sie eot lulap tuyak yen tupasrpasr. Tusruktu nga fah mweun lain kowos. Kowos fahk mu wangin mwet ku in mweuni kowos, ku kunausla pot ku lowos ac utyak nu in siti uh.
Look, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley, and of the rock of the plain," says the LORD; "you that say, 'Who shall come down against us? Or who shall enter into our habitations?'
14 Nga fah kalyei kowos fal nu ke orekma koluk lowos. Nga fah esukak inkul fulat sin tokosra lowos, ac e uh fah esukak ma nukewa ma oan raunela. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings," says the LORD; "and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it shall devour all that is around her."'"
