Jeremiah 25
1 Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar angraeng ah ohhaih saningto haih, Josiah capa Judah siangpahrang Jehoiakim angraenghaih saning palito haih naah, Judah kaminawk boih kawng pongah Jeremiah khaeah lok to angzoh,
This is the message that came to Jeremiah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, son of Josiah, king of Judah, which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. It concerned all the people of Judah.
2 to pongah tahmaa Jeremiah mah Judah kaminawk boih hoi Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk boih khaeah;
So the prophet Jeremiah went and spoke to all the people of Judah and all of the people living in Jerusalem, telling them:
3 Judah siangpahrang Amon capa Josiah angraenghaih saning hathlai thumto nathuem hoi vaihni ni khoek to, saning pumphae thumto thung, Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh, to lok to khawnthaw ah kang thawk moe, kang thuih o boeh, toe na tahngai o ai.
From the thirteenth year of the reign of Josiah, son of Amon, king of Judah until now, twenty-three years in total, messages from the Lord have come to me, and I have told you what he said time and again, but you have not listened.
4 Angraeng loe khawnthaw ah angthawk moe, a tamna tahmaanawk to nangcae khaeah ang patoeh; toe lok na tahngai pae o ai, thaih han ih naa doeh na patueng o ai.
Even though the Lord has sent all his servants the prophets to you time and again, you don't bother to listen or pay any attention.
5 Nihcae mah, nangcae boih, vaihi na caeh o ih kasae loklam hoiah na sak o ih kasae hmuennawk hoiah amlaem oh ah loe, Angraeng mah nangmacae khae hoi nam panawk khaeah dungzan ah paek ih prae thungah om oh;
The consistent message has been: Give up your evil ways and the evil things you're doing so you can live in the country that the Lord has given to you and your forefathers forever.
6 kalah sithawnawk hnukah bang o hmah, a tok doeh sah pae o hmah, bok doeh bok o hmah; na ban hoiah sak ih hmuennawk hoiah kai palung na phui o sak hmah, to tih nahaeloe nganbawh kana kang paek o mak ai, tiah ang thuih o.
Don't follow other gods and worship them, and don't anger me by making idols. Then I won't do anything to hurt you.
7 Toe ka lok na tahngai o ai, nam ro o hanah, nangmacae ban hoi sak ih hmuen hoiah palung nang phui o sak, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
But you've hurt yourselves by not listening to me, declares the Lord, because you angered me by making idols.
8 To pongah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, Ka lok na tahngai o ai pongah,
So this is what the Lord Almighty says: Because you have not obeyed what I told you,
9 khenah, aluek bang ih kaminawk boih hoi ka tamna Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar to ka kawk moe, hae prae hoi a thungah kaom kaminawk boih, hae kami taengah kaom kaminawk to laksak boih hanah ka patoeh han; anih mah nihcae to amrosak tih, nihcae to dawnraisak tih, hanghaih hoiah dungzan ah kang hmatsak zuep han.
watch as I summon all the people of the north, declares the Lord. I'm going to send for my servant Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, to attack this country and the people who live here, and all the surrounding nations. I will set them apart for destruction. I'm going to totally destroy you, and people will be horrified at what's happened to you and will mock you.
10 Nihcae khae hoi anghoehaih lok, oephaih lok, zu la kami ih lok, sava sah kami ih lok, cang kaehhaih lok hoi hmaithawk paanghaih to ka lak pae ving han boeh.
I will also put a stop to the cheerful sounds of celebration and the happy voices of the bride and bridegroom. No noise will come from millstones being used; no lamps will be lit.
11 Hae prae boih loe pong sut ueloe, dawnraihaih hoiah om o tih; hae kaminawk mah Babylon siangpahrang ih tok to saning qui sarihto thung sah pae o tih, tiah thuih.
This whole country will become an empty wasteland, and Judah and these other nations will serve the king of Babylon for seventy years.
12 Toe saning qui sarihto koep pacoengah loe, hae kaminawk nuiah sakpazae ih hmuen pongah, Babylon siangpahrang hoi anih ih kaminawk to ka thuitaek moe, dungzan khoek to ka pongsak han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
However, when these seventy years are over, I'm going to punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the country of Babylonia, for their sin, declares the Lord. I will completely destroy them.
13 Kaimah ka thuih ih nihcae misatukhaih loknawk boih, hae cabu thungah tahmaa Jeremiah mah tarik moe, thuih ih prae kaminawk misatukhaih loknawk to hae prae thungah ka phaksak boih han.
I will bring down on that country everything I threatened to do, everything that's written in this book which Jeremiah prophesied against all the different nations.
14 Babylon kaminawk loe pop parai, kalen parai kalah acaeng siangpahrangnawk ih misong ah om o tih; a sak o ih hmuen baktih, ban mah sak ih hmuen baktih toengah, nihcae nuiah ka sak pathok han, tiah thuih.
Many nations and powerful kings will make slaves of them, the Babylonians, and I will pay them back for the evil they've done.
15 Hae ka ban pong ih palungphuihaih misurtui boengloeng hae la ah loe, naek han kang patoeh ih prae kaminawk boih to, naesak ah.
This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, told me: Take this cup I'm handing to you. It contains the wine of my anger. You are to make all the nations I send you to drink from it.
16 Nihcae salakah sumsen to ka patoeh han boeh pongah, nihcae mah naek o naah paqui o ueloe, amthu o boih tih, tiah Israel Angraeng Sithaw mah ang thuih.
They will drink and stumble around and go mad because of the war brought by the armies I'm sending to attack them.
17 To pacoengah Angraeng ban pong ih boengloeng to ka lak moe, Angraeng mah kai khaeah patoeh ih prae kaminawk to ka naeksak boih:
I took the cup the Lord handed to me and made all the nations he sent me to drink from it:
18 ka naeksak ih kaminawk loe Jerusalem hoi Judah vangpuinawk hoiah kamtong, vaihniah kaom hmuen baktiah, Judah siangpahrangnawk hoi ukkung angraengnawk loe palungsethaih, dawnraihaih, paciip paaahaih, tangoenghaih hoiah ohsak;
To Jerusalem and the towns of Judah, its kings and officials, destroying them so that people were horrified at what happened to them and mocked them and cursed them (and they are still like this today);
19 to pacoengah Izip siangpahrang Faro hoi a tamnanawk, anih ih angraengnawk hoi anih ih kaminawk boih;
to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and his officials, leaders, all his people
20 to ah kaom congca kaminawk boih; Uz prae ih siangpahrangnawk boih; Philistin prae ih siangpahrangnawk boih, Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron hoi Ashdod ih kanghmat kaminawk,
and all the foreigners living there; to all the kings of the country of Uz; to all the kings of the Philistines: Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and what's left of Ashdod;
21 Edom, Moab hoi Ammon kaminawk,
to Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites;
22 Tura hoi Sidon ih siangpahrangnawk boih; tuipui thung ih prae ukkung siangpahrangnawk boih,
to all the kings of Tyre and Sidon; to the kings of the Mediterranean sea coast;
23 Dedan, Tema, Buz hoi kangthla koek ahmuen ah kaom kaminawk boih,
to Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all those who trim their hair on the sides of their heads;
24 Arabia siangpahrangnawk boih, praezaek ah kaom congca kaminawk ih siangpahrangnawk boih,
to all the kings of Arabia; and to all the kings of the different tribes living in the desert;
25 Zimri, Elam hoi Median ih siangpahrang boih,
to all the kings of Zimri, Elam, and Media;
26 Maeto hoi maeto kangthla maw, kanghnai maw tih ai ah, aluek bang ih siangpahrangnawk boih; long nuiah kaom long pum ih praenawk to athum o boih; nihcae naek o pacoengah, Sheshak siangpahrang doeh nae toeng tih.
to all the kings of the north; in fact to all the kingdoms on earth whether close or far away, one after another. After all of them, the king of Babylon will drink it too.
27 Nihcae khaeah, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Israel Sithaw mah, Nae oh, paqui oh loe, palok oh, angthawk let han ai ah, nangcae khaeah ka patoeh han ih sumsen pongah, amtim oh, tiah thui paeh.
Tell them this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Drink, make yourselves drunk, and vomit. Because of the war you'll be killed, falling down never to get up again.
28 Toe naek hanah na ban pong ih boengloeng lak han koeh o ai nahaeloe, nihcae khaeah, Na naek o han oh! tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih, tiah thui pae ah.
If they should refuse to take the cup and drink from it, tell them that this is what the Lord Almighty says: You can't avoid drinking it—you have to!
29 Khenah, Ka hmin hoi kawk ih vangpui nuiah amrohaih ka phaksak han, thuitaek ai ah na om o tih maw? Thuitaek ai ah na om o mak ai; long nuiah kaom kaminawk boih nuiah sumsen to ka patoeh han boeh, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih.
Can't you see that I'm about to bring disaster down on my own city, so do you really think you wouldn't be punished as well? You won't go unpunished, for I am bringing war to everyone on earth, declares the Lord Almighty.
30 Vaihi nihcae misa haih loknawk boih to thui paeh; nihcae khaeah, Angraeng loe hmuensang hoiah hang ueloe, a ohhaih hmuenciim hoiah lok to tacawt tih; a ohhaih ahmuen to hang thui tih, kaeh ih misurtui baktiah, long nui ih kaminawk to hang thui tih.
Give this whole message as a prophecy against them. Tell them: The Lord will thunder from high above. He will thunder loudly from the holy place where he lives. He will give a great roar against the sheepfolds. He will give a loud shout like people treading the grapes, frightening everyone who lives on earth.
31 Long boeng khoek to a lok to amsong tih; Angraeng mah prae kaminawk to lokcaek boih tih, kaminawk boih lokcaek tih; kasae kaminawk to sumsen hoi hum hanah paek tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
The sound will reach everywhere on the earth because the Lord is accusing the nations. He is judging everyone, executing the wicked, declares the Lord.
32 Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, Khenah, prae maeto hoi maeto ah amrohaih angcen tih; long boenghaih ahmuen hoiah kamhae takhi to song tih boeh, tiah thuih.
This is what the Lord Almighty says: Watch out! Disaster is falling on one nation after another; an immense storm is building up in the far distance.
33 To naah Angraeng mah hum ih kaminawk loe, long boenghaih maeto hoi kalah maeto bang khoek to om tih; nihcae to qah o haih mak ai, la o mak ai, aphum doeh aphum o mak ai; maiphu baktiah ni long ah om o tih.
Those killed by the Lord at that time will cover the earth from one end to the other. No one will mourn them, or collect them, or bury them. They will be like piles of manure lying on the ground.
34 Nangcae tuutoep kaminawk, qah oh loe, hang oh; kalen koek tuu zaehoikungnawk, long ah maiphu angnok oh loe asawt oh; nangcae humhaih atue hoi ampraek phanghaih atue to phak boeh; nangcae loe atho kana laom baktiah na krah o tih.
Cry out and weep, you shepherds! Roll around on the ground mourning, you leaders of the flock. The time for you to be killed has come; you will fall, smashed like the finest pottery.
35 Tuutoep kaminawk loe cawnhaih ahmuen tawn o mak ai, kalen koek tuutoep kaminawk doeh loih o mak ai.
The shepherds won't be able to run away; the leaders of the flock won't escape.
36 Angraeng mah nihcae prathaih ahmuen to phraek pae pongah, tuutoep kaminawk hoi kalen koek tuu zaehoikungnawk ih hanghaih lok to thaih o tih.
Listen to the cries of the shepherds, the weeping of the leaders of the flock, for the Lord is destroying their pasturelands.
37 Kanung parai Angraeng palungphuihaih pongah, kamongah ohhaih ahmuen to phraek o boeh.
The peaceful sheepfolds have been ruined because of the Lord's fierce anger.
38 Kaipui mah a ohhaih ahmuen to caehtaak baktih toengah, anih mah a ohhaih ahmuen to caehtaak boeh; kana parai ah pacaekthlaek ih kami hoi kanung parai anih palungphuihaih pongah prae loe pong sut boeh.
The Lord has left his den like a lion, because their country has been devastated by the invading armies, and because of the Lord's fierce anger.
