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.

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

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; and 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: 'Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say: Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall 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 shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold 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 shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I remember him, saith the LORD; though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper?'

6 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik lah

And Jeremiah said: 'The word of the LORD came unto 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 thine uncle, shall come unto thee, saying: Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth; for the right of redemption is thine 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 mine uncle's son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of the LORD, and said unto me: 'Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself.' Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD.

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

And I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel mine 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.

And I subscribed the deed, and sealed it, and called witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.

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 unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel mine uncle 's son, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the guard.

13 Ye mutalos nukewa nga fahk nu sel Baruch,

And I charged 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.

'Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase, both that which is sealed, and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel; that they may continue 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 thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall 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 unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto 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, Thou hast made the heaven and the earth by Thy great power and by Thy outstretched arm; there is nothing too hard for Thee;

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.

who showest mercy unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them; the great, the mighty God, the LORD of hosts is His 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 upon all the ways of the sons of men, to give every one 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 didst set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel and among other men; and madest Thee a name, as at this day;

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

and didst bring forth Thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and 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 gavest them this land, which Thou didst swear 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.

and they came in, and possessed it; but they hearkened not to Thy voice, neither walked in Thy law; they have done nothing of all that Thou commandedst them to do; therefore Thou hast caused all this evil to befall 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 the mounds, they are come unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence; and what Thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, Thou seest 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.”

Yet Thou hast said unto me, O Lord GOD: Buy thee 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 came the word of the LORD unto 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 any thing 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 thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall 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.

and the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered unto Baal, and poured out drink-offerings unto other gods, to provoke Me.

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 only done that which was evil in My sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked Me with the work of their hands, saith 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 hath been to Me a provocation of Mine anger and of My fury from the day that they built it even unto this day, 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, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and 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.

And they have turned unto Me the back, and not the face; and though I taught them, teaching them betimes and often, yet they have not hearkened 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 whereupon My name is called, 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.”

And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to set apart their sons and their daughters unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it 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.

And now therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say: It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and 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, whither I have driven them in Mine anger, and in My fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them back unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely;

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

and they shall 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.

and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me for ever; for the good of them, and 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.

and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; and I will put My fear in their hearts, that they shall 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.

Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land in truth 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 thus saith the LORD: Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon 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.

And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say: It is desolate, without man or beast; 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 shall buy fields for money, and subscribe the deeds, and seal them, and call witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill-country, and in the cities of the Lowland, and in the cities of the South; for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the LORD.'
