Jeremiah 39
1 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.
In the ninth year of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem, with his entire army, and they besieged it.
2 Ke len se akeu in malem akakosr in yac aksingoul sie ma Zedekiah el tokosra, mwet Babylonia elos fukulya pot uh ac utyak. (
Then, in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the fifth of the month, the city was opened.
3 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.)
And all the rulers of the king of Babylon entered and were seated at the middle gate: Nergal-Sharezer, the priest of Nebo, Sarsechim, the chief eunuch, Nergal-Sharezer, the chief magi, and all the other rulers of the king of Babylon.
4 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.
And when Zedekiah, the king of Judah, with all the men of war, had seen them, they fled. And they departed from the city at night, by way of the king’s garden, and through the gate which was between the two walls. And they departed along the way of the desert.
5 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.
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued them. And they overtook Zedekiah in the plain of the desert of Jericho. And having captured him, they led him to Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, at Riblah, which is in the land of Hamath. And he declared a judgment against him
6 El uniya wen natul Zedekiah ye mutal in acn Riblah, ac el oayapa sap in anwuki mwet leum lun Judah nukewa.
And the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah, at Riblah, before his eyes. And the king of Babylon killed all the nobles of Judah.
7 Tukun ma inge, el sap tipulyukla atronmutal Zedekiah, ac kapiri el ke sein in utukla nu Babylonia.
Also, he plucked out the eyes of Zedekiah. And he bound him with fetters, to be led away to Babylon.
8 In pacl sacna, mwet Babylonia elos esukak inkul fulat sin tokosra, oayapa lohm nukewa sin mwet uh, ac rakinya pot Jerusalem.
Also, the Chaldeans burned the house of the king and the house of the people with fire, and they overturned the wall of Jerusalem.
9 Na Nebuzaradan, captain lun mwet mweun, el usla mwet lula nukewa in siti uh nu Babylonia, wi mwet nukewa ma tuh kaingme nu inpaol.
And Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, carried away captive to Babylon the remnant of the people who had remained in the city, and the fugitives who had fled to him, and all the rest of the people who had remained.
10 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.
And Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, released some of the poor people, those who had almost nothing, into the land of Judah. And he gave them vineyards and cisterns in that day.
11 Tusruktu Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el sap Nebuzaradan, captain fulat, elan oru na ma el sap in orek inge:
Now Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had instructed Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, about Jeremiah, saying:
12 “Som ac konalak Jeremiah, ac karinganulang akwoya. Nimet oru kutena ma nu sel, a oru kewa ma el enenu an.”
“Take him, and set your eyes on him, and you shall do no harm to him at all. But as he is willing, so shall you do with him.”
13 Ouinge Nebuzaradan, wi mwet fulat luo inge: Nebushazban ac Nergal Sarezer, oayapa mwet kol nukewa saya lun tokosra Babylonia,
Therefore, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, sent, and Nebushazban, the chief eunuch, and Nergal-Sharezer, the chief magi, and all the nobles of the king of Babylon sent,
14 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.
and they took Jeremiah from the vestibule of the prison, and they delivered him to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, so that he could enter a house and live among the people.
15 Ke nga srakna kaul in kalkal lun mwet san, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik
But the word of the Lord had come to Jeremiah, when he had been confined to the vestibule of the prison, saying: “Go, and speak to Ebedmelech, the Ethiopian, saying:
16 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.
Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring my words over this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be in your sight in that day.
17 Tusruktu nga, LEUM GOD, fah karingin kom, ac kom ac fah tia itukyang nu inpoun mwet ma kom sangeng se uh.
And I will free you in that day, says the Lord. And you will not be delivered into the hands of the men whom you dread.
18 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.”
But when delivering, I will free you. And you will not fall by the sword. Instead, your life will be saved for you, because you had faith in me, says the Lord.”
