Jeremiah 28

1 To saning thung, Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah prae uk amtonghaih saning palito haih, khrah pangato naah, Gibeon ah kaom tahmaa Azzur capa Hananiah mah, Angraeng im ah, qaimanawk hoi kaminawk boih hmaa ah, ang thuih ih lok loe,

And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, [and] in the fifth month, [that] Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, which [was] of Gibeon, spake unto me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,

2 misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah, Babylon sianhgpahrang ih hnam to ka khaeh pae boeh, tiah thuih.

Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

3 Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar mah, hae ahmuen hoi ah lak moe, Babylon ah sin ving ih, Angraeng imthung ih laom sabaenawk boih to saning hnetto thungah hae ahmuen ah ka sin let han.

Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD’s house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon:

4 Judah siangpahrang Jehoiakim capa Jekoniah doeh, Babylon ah misong ah kalaem Judah kaminawk boih hoi nawnto, hae ahmuen ah ka hoih let han, nihcae ih hnam to ka khaeh pae boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih, tiah a naa.

And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, that went into Babylon, saith the LORD: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.

5 Tahmaa Jeremiah mah, qaimanawk hoi Angraeng ih im thungah angdoe kaminawk boih mikhnuk ah tahmaa Hananiah khaeah lok a thuih pae.

Then the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of the LORD,

6 Tahmaa Jeremiah mah, anih khaeah, Amen! Angraeng mah sah nasoe! Angraeng im ih laom sabaenawk boih, hae ahmuen hoiah Babylon ah misong ah caeh kaminawk kawng pongah, na thuih ih lok baktih toengah Angraeng mah koepsak nasoe!

Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the LORD do so: the LORD perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the LORD’s house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place.

7 Toe nangmah hoi kaminawk boih khaeah, vaihi ka thuih ih lok hae tahngai ah;

Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people;

8 kai hoi nangcae om ai nathuem, canghnii ah kaom tahmaanawk mah kapop parai praenawk hoi misa ohhaih kawng, thacak praenawk hoi misa angcoenghaih kawng, misa angtukhaih kawng, kasae tonghaih hoi kasae nathaih kawngnawk to a thuih o.

The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.

9 Misa amdinghaih kawng kathui, tahmaa mah thuih ih lok to koep naah ni, to tahmaa loe Angraeng mah patoeh tangtang, tiah panoek o tih, tiah a naa.

The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, [ then] shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him.

10 To naah tahmaa Hananiah mah tahmaa Jeremiah tahnong pong ih hnam to lak moe, a khaeh pae.

Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and brake it.

11 Hananiah mah kaminawk boih hmaa ah, Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar mah, prae kaminawk ih tahnong ah bang ih hnam to saning hnetto thung, hae tiah ka khaeh pae boih han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih, tiah a naa. To naah tahmaa Jeremiah mah anih to caehtaak ving.

And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.

12 Tahmaa Jeremiah tahnong pong ih hnam to tahmaa Hananiah mah khaeh pae pacoengah, Angraeng ih lok tahmaa Jeremiah khaeah angzoh,

Then the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah [the prophet], after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,

13 Caeh ah loe, Hananiah khaeah, Angraeng mah, Thing hoi sak ih hnam to na khaeh pae; toe sum hoi sak ih hnam to na hnu tih, tiah thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.

Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron.

14 Nihcae mah Babylon siangpahrang Nebukhanezzar ih toksak pae o hanah, sum hoi sak ih hnam to hae prae kaminawk boih ih tahnong ah ka suek pae han; nihcae mah anih ih tok to sah pae o tih; taw ah kaom moisannawk doeh anih han ka paek boih boeh, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah thuih.

For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also.

15 To pacoengah tahmaa Jeremiah mah, tahmaa Hananiah khaeah, Hananiah, vaihi tahngai ah! Nang loe Angraeng mah patoeh ih kami na ai ni; toe hae kaminawk mah na thuih ih amsawnlok to tang o thai hanah, na zoek khing.

Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie.

16 To pongah Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Khenah, long hoiah kang takhoe ving han; Angraeng ih lok aek hanah na patuk pongah, vaining saning thungah na dueh tih, tiah a naa.

Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD.

17 To na saning khrah sarihto naah tahmaa Hananiah to duek.

So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
