< Jeremiah 32 >
1 Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah angraenghaih saning hato haih, Nebuchadnezzar angraenghaih saning hathlai tazetto naah, Jeremiah khaeah Angraeng ih lok to angzoh.
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
2 To nathuem ah Babylon siangpahrang ih misatuh kaminawk mah Jerusalem to takui o, tahmaa Jeremiah loe Judah siangpahrang im thungah, paung o.
At that time the army of the king of Babylon was besieging Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was imprisoned in the courtyard of the guard, which was in the palace of the king of Judah.
3 Angraeng mah thuisak ih lok to tahmaa Jeremiah mah kaminawk boih khaeah thuih pae pongah, Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah mah anih to thongim thungah paung; siangpahrang Zedekiah mah tahmaa Jeremiah khaeah, Tipongah hae vangpui hae Babylon siangpahrang ban ah ka paek han, anih mah hae vangpui hae laa tih,
For Zedekiah king of Judah had imprisoned him, saying: “Why are you prophesying like this? You claim that the LORD says, ‘Behold, I am about to deliver this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it.
4 Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah loe, Khaldian kaminawk ih ban thung hoiah loih mak ai, Babylon siangpahrang ban ah paek tih, nihnik loe mikhmai kangtong ah lokthui hoi ueloe, mik hoi angkhen hoi tih;
Zedekiah king of Judah will not escape from the hands of the Chaldeans, but he will surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and will speak with him face to face and see him eye to eye.
5 anih mah Zedekiah to Babylon ah hoi tih, anih ka khen ai karoek to Zedekaih loe to ahmuen ah om tih: Khaldian kaminawk hoi misa nang tuh hoi tih, toe na pazawk mak ai, tiah Angraeng mah thuih, tiah na thuih loe? tiah a naa.
He will take Zedekiah to Babylon, where he will stay until I attend to him, declares the LORD. If you fight against the Chaldeans, you will not succeed.’”
6 To naah Jeremiah mah, Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
Jeremiah replied, “The word of the LORD came to me, saying:
7 Khenah, nam pa ih amnawk Shallum ih capa Hanamel to nang khaeah angzo ueloe, Anathoth ah kaom kai ih lawk hmuen to qan ah, nang loe anghnai koek acaeng ah na oh pongah, na qan thaih, tiah na thui tih, tiah ang naa.
Behold! Hanamel, the son of your uncle Shallum, is coming to you to say, ‘Buy for yourself my field in Anathoth, for you have the right of redemption to buy it.’
8 Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, ampa kanawk ih capa Hanamel loe angraeng imthung ih thongim toep kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen ah kai khaeah angzoh, Benjamin prae, Anathoth ih ka lawk to qan ah; nang loe qawktoep thaihaih, akrang thaihaih na tawnh, nangmah hanah qan ah, tiah ang naa. To naah hae loe Angraeng ih lok ni, tiah ka panoek pongah;
Then, as the LORD had said, my cousin Hanamel came to me in the courtyard of the guard and urged me, ‘Please buy my field in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, for you own the right of inheritance and redemption. Buy it for yourself.’” Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD.
9 Anathoth ah kaom kam pa kanawk ih capa Hanamel ih lawk to ka qanh, anih hanah phoisa shekel hathlai sarihto ka noek pae.
So I bought the field in Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel, and I weighed out seventeen shekels of silver.
10 Ka qan ih hmuen nuiah ahmin ka tarik, angmathaih ka sak, hnukung kaminawk to ka kawk moe, tangka to tahhaih hoiah ka noek pae.
I signed and sealed the deed, called in witnesses, and weighed out the silver on the scales.
11 Hmuen qanhaih caqam to ka lak moe, sakzong ih atawk baktih toengah, catui daeng ih caqam hoi catui daeng ai ih caqam kawpi to ka lak hmaek,
Then I took the deed of purchase—the sealed copy with its terms and conditions, as well as the open copy—
12 to pacoengah kam pa kanawk ih capa Hanamel, hmuen qan naah hnukung ah kaom kaminawk, angraeng imthung ih thongim toep kami ohhaih ahmuen ah anghnu Judah kaminawk boih mik hnukah, Mahseiah capa Neriah capa Baruk khaeah ka paek.
and I gave this deed to Baruch son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the sight of my cousin Hanamel and the witnesses who were signing the purchase agreement and all the Jews sitting in the courtyard of the guard.
13 Nihcae hmaa ah Baruk khaeah,
In their sight I instructed Baruch,
14 misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah, Hmuen qan panoekhaih ah kaom hae caqam, caqamnawk hae la ah loe, catui daeng ih caqam hoi catui daeng ai ih caqam to la hmaek ah; saning kasawk kaan hanah, long laom thungah suem ah, tiah ang naa, tiah ka thuih pae.
“This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Take these deeds—both the sealed copy and the open copy of the deed of purchase—and put them in a clay jar to preserve them for a long time.
15 Kaminawk mah hae prae ah im lawk hoi misur takhanawk to qan o let tih, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah thuih, tiah ang naa.
For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Houses, fields, and vineyards will again be bought in this land.”
16 Neriah capa Baruk khaeah hmuen qanhaih caqam ka paek pacoengah, Angraeng khaeah lawk ka thuih,
After I had given the deed of purchase to Baruch son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD:
17 Aw, Angraeng Sithaw! Khenah, na thacakhaih hoiah ban na payangh moe, long hoi van to na sak, na sak thai ai ih hmuen tidoeh om ai;
“Oh, Lord GOD! You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for You!
18 nang loe asing asang kaminawk khaeah amlunghaih to nam tuengsak, toe ampanawk zaehaih doeh a caanawk lu nuiah na kraksak; nang loe lensawk, thacak Sithaw ah na oh, na hmin loe misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, tiah oh.
You show loving devotion to thousands but lay the iniquity of the fathers into the laps of their children after them, O great and mighty God whose name is the LORD of Hosts,
19 Na poekhaih loe thuk, na sak ih hmuennawk doeh lensawk; kami boih a caehhaih loklam hoi a sak ih hmuennawk baktih toengah pathok hanah, kaminawk caehhaih loklamnawk to na khet parui boih;
the One great in counsel and mighty in deed, whose eyes are on all the ways of the sons of men, to reward each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds.
20 Izip prae ah angmathaih hoi dawnrai hmuen to na sak, vaihni ni khoek to, Israel prae thung hoi kalah kaminawk salakah na sak vop moe, vaihni ni khoek to na hmin amthanghaih to oh poe vop.
You performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and You do so to this very day, both in Israel and among all mankind. And You have made a name for Yourself, as is the case to this day.
21 Angmathaih, dawnraihaih, na ban thacakhaih, na ban payuenghaih, zit kaom thacakhaih hoiah ni nangmah ih Israel kaminawk to Izip prae thung hoiah na zaehhoih.
You brought Your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and wonders, with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and with great terror.
22 Kam panawk khaeah paek han, tiah ka sak ih lokkamhaih baktih toengah, khoitui hoi tahnutui longhaih, hae prae hae nihcae hanah na paek;
You gave them this land that You had sworn to give their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.
23 nihcae mah akun o moe, toep o; toe na lok tahngai o ai; na patuk ih kaalok doeh pazui o ai; sak han na paek ih hmuen maeto doeh sah o ai; to pongah kahoih ai hmuennawk boih nihcae nuiah na phaksak boeh.
They came in and possessed it, but they did not obey Your voice or walk in Your law. They failed to perform all that You commanded them to do, and so You have brought upon them all this disaster.
24 Khenah, vangpui lak hanah nihcae loe misa abuephaih long khaw thung hoiah angzoh o boeh; sumsen, khokhahaih, kasae nathaih hoiah misa to tuk o pongah, vangpui loe Khaldian kaminawk ban ah paek boeh; na thuih ih lok baktiah vaihi phak boeh.
See how the siege ramps are mounted against the city to capture it. And by sword and famine and plague, the city has been given into the hands of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it. What You have spoken has happened, as You now see!
25 Aw Angraeng Sithaw, Khaldian kaminawk ban ah vangpui to ka paek cadoeh, phoisa hoiah lawk to qan ah loe, hnukungnawk to kawk ah, tiah nang thuih, tiah a naa.
Yet You, O Lord GOD, have said to me, ‘Buy for yourself the field with silver and call in witnesses, even though the city has been delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans!’”
26 To pacoengah Angraeng ih lok Jeremiah khaeah angzoh,
Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
27 khenah, Kai loe kaminawk boih ih Angraeng Sithaw ah ka oh; Ka sak thai ai ih hmuen oh maw?
“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too difficult for Me?
28 Angraeng mah, Khenah, hae vangpui loe khaldian kaminawk ban ah, Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar ban ah ka paek, anih mah la tih boeh, tiah thuih.
Therefore this is what the LORD says: Behold, I am about to deliver this city into the hands of the Chaldeans and of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who will capture it.
29 Hae vangpui katuh, Khaldian kaminawk to angzo o ueloe, hae vangpui hae hmai hoiah thlaek o tih; kai palungphuisak hanah, imphu ah Baal hanah hmuihoih to thlaek o moe, kalah sithawnawk mah naek hanah tui kraih pae o ih imnawk to hmai mah kang boih tih.
And the Chaldeans who are fighting against this city will come in, set it on fire, and burn it, along with the houses of those who provoked Me to anger by burning incense to Baal on their rooftops and by pouring out drink offerings to other gods.
30 Israel hoi Judah kaminawk loe nawkta nathuem hoi boeh ni ka hmaa ah kahoih ai hmuen to a sak o; angmacae ban hoi sak o ih hmuen hoiah kai palung ang phui o sak, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
For the children of Israel and of Judah have done nothing but evil in My sight from their youth; indeed, they have done nothing but provoke Me to anger by the work of their hands, declares the LORD.
31 Hae vangpui loe sak tangsuek na hoi vaihni ni khoek to kai palungphuisak vangpui hoi kanung parai palungpuisak vangpui ah oh pongah, ka mik hnukhaih ahmuen hoiah ka pathuih ving han,
For this city has aroused My wrath and fury from the day it was built until now. Therefore I will remove it from My presence
32 Israel hoi Judah kaminawk ih siangpahrangnawk, ukkung angraengnawk, qaimanawk, tahmaanawk, Judah kaminawk, Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk loe a sak o ih kahoih ai hmuennawk boih hoiah kai palung ang phui o sak.
because of all the evil the children of Israel and of Judah have done to provoke Me to anger—they, their kings, their officials, their priests and prophets, the men of Judah, and the residents of Jerusalem.
33 Kai khaeah angqoi o ai, kai to hnuk ang qoi o taak ving, khawnthaw ah kang thawk moe, nihcae to ka patuk, toe nihcae mah ka thuitaekhaih lok to tahngai o ai.
They have turned their backs to Me and not their faces. Though I taught them again and again, they would not listen or respond to discipline.
34 Ka hmin hoi kawk ih im to amhnongsak hanah, panuet kaom hmuennawk to a suek o boeh.
They have placed their abominations in the house that bears My Name, and so have defiled it.
35 A capanawk hoi a canunawk to Molek sithaw khaeah hmai angbawnhaih ah tathlang hanah, Hinnom capa ih azawn ah kaom, Baal hmuensang to a sak o; Judah kaminawk to zaesak moe, hae baktih panuet thok hmuen to sak hanah nihcae khaeah ka thui pae ai, poek doeh ka poek ai.
They have built the high places of Baal in the Valley of Hinnom to make their sons and daughters pass through the fire to Molech—something I never commanded them, nor had it ever entered My mind, that they should commit such an abomination and cause Judah to sin.
36 Toe sumsen, khokhahaih, kasae nathaih mah, Babylon siangpahrang ban ah paek tih, tiah na thuih o ih, hae vangpui kawng pongah, Israel Angraeng Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih;
Now therefore, about this city of which you say, ‘It will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword and famine and plague,’ this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says:
37 Khenah, palung ka phui moe, palungphui parai pongah, ka haek ih prae thung boih hoiah nihcae to ka tacuu let han; nihcae to hae ahmuen ah ka hoih let moe, kamongah ka ohsak let han.
I will surely gather My people from all the lands to which I have banished them in My furious anger and great wrath, and I will return them to this place and make them dwell in safety.
38 Nihcae loe kai ih kami ah om o tih, kai doeh nihcae ih Sithaw ah ka oh han.
They will be My people, and I will be their God.
39 Nihcae ih caa khosak hoih o moe, kai ang zit o poe hanah, maeto ah amhonghaih palungthin to ka paek han.
I will give them one heart and one way, so that they will always fear Me for their own good and for the good of their children after them.
40 Nihcae hoi dungzan lokmaihaih ka sak moe, nihcae nuiah kahoih hmuen sakhaih to ka toengh sut mak ai; kai khae hoi tacawt o han ai ah, nihcae khaeah kai zithaih palungthin to ka suek han.
I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never turn away from doing good to them, and I will put My fear in their hearts, so that they will never turn away from Me.
41 Ue, nihcae han kahoih hmuen sakhaih pongah kang hoe, ka palungthin boih, ka hinghaih boih hoiah nihcae to hae prae ah kang doetsak han.
Yes, I will rejoice in doing them good, and I will faithfully plant them in this land with all My heart and with all My soul.
42 Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; hae kaminawk nuiah kalen parai raihaih ka phaksak baktih toengah, nihcae khaeah ka paek ih lokkamhaih to kang coengsak han.
For this is what the LORD says: Just as I have brought all this great disaster on this people, so I will bring on them all the good I have promised them.
43 Kami om ai, moi kasan doeh om ai ah pong sut boeh; Khaldian prae kaminawk ban ah paek ving boeh, tiah na thuih o ih hae prae thungah lawknawk to na qan o let vop tih.
And fields will be bought in this land about which you are saying, ‘It is a desolation, without man or beast; it has been delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans.’
44 Benjamin prae thungah maw, Jerusalem taengah maw, Judah vangpuinawk thungah maw, mae nui ih vangpuinawk thungah maw, azawn ih vangpuinawk thungah maw, aloih bang ih vangpuinawk ah maw, kaminawk mah tangka hoi lawk qanhaih hoi qanhaih caqam to la o ueloe, catui daenghaihnawk to sah o vop tih; misong ah ohhaih hoiah nihcae to kam laemsak let han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
Fields will be purchased with silver, and deeds will be signed, sealed, and witnessed in the land of Benjamin, in the areas surrounding Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah—the cities of the hill country, the foothills, and the Negev—because I will restore them from captivity, declares the LORD.”
