Jeremiah 25
1 Judah manghai Josiah capa Jehoiakim kah a kum li dongah Judah pilnam pum kawng dongah Jeremiah taengla ol ha pawk. Te vaengah Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar kah kum lamhmacuek la om.
This is the word that came to Jeremiah about all the people of Judah. It came in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah. That was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon.
2 Te te tonghma Jeremiah loh Judah pilnam boeih taeng neh Jerusalem khosa boeih taengah thui hamla a thui pah.
Jeremiah the prophet proclaimed this to all the people of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
3 Judah manghai Amon capa Josiah kum hlai thum lamloh tahae khohnin duela kum kul kum thum hil he kai taengla BOEIPA ol ha pawk. Ka thoh lamloh nangmih taengah ka thui khaw ka thui van dae na yaak uh moenih.
He said, “For twenty-three years, from the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah until this day, Yahweh's words have been coming to me and I have spoken to you again and again, but you have not listened.
4 BOEIPA loh a thoh lamkah ni a sal rhoek tonghma boeih te nangmih taengah han tueih coeng dae na hnatun uh pawt tih hnatun ham hna na kaeng uh moenih.
Yahweh sent out all his servants the prophets to you again and again, but you have not listened or paid any attention.
5 Hlang he a longpuei thae neh na khoboe thaenah lamloh mael laeh saeh ti nah. BOEIPA loh nangmih taeng neh na pa rhoek taengah khosuen lamloh kumhal duela a paek khohmuen ah khosa uh.
These prophets said, 'Let each man turn from his wicked way and the corruption of his practices and return to the land that Yahweh gave in ancient times to your ancestors and to you, as a permanent gift.
6 Pathen tloe rhoek taengah thothueng ham neh amih te bawk ham cet uh boeh. Na kut dongkah khoboe neh kai nan veet uh pawt daengah ni nangmih taengah thae ka huet pawt eh.
So do not walk after other gods to worship them or bow down to them, and do not provoke him with the work of your hands so that he does you harm.'
7 Tedae kai BOEIPA kah olphong he na hnatun uh moenih. Te dongah ni nangmih te yoethae sak ham nangmih kut dongkah bibi neh kai nan veet la nan veet uh.
But you have not listened to me—this is Yahweh's declaration—so you have provoked me with the work of your hands to do harm to you.
8 Ka ol he na hnatun uh pawt dongah ni caempuei BOEIPA loh he khaw a thui van.
So Yahweh of hosts says this, 'Because you did not listen to my words,
9 Kai loh ka tueih dongah tlangpuei cako te boeih ka loh pawn ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Ka sal Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar khaw he khohmuen kah amih taeng neh khosa rhoek taengah khaw, a kaepvai rhoek kah namtom boeih taengah khaw ka thoeng sak ni. Te vaengah amih te ka thup vetih imsuep neh thuithetnah neh kumhal kah imrhong la ka khueh ni.
see, I am about to send out a command to gather all the peoples of the north—this is Yahweh's declaration—with Nebuchadnezzar my servant, king of Babylon, and bring them against this land and its inhabitants, and against all the nations around you. For I will set them apart for destruction. I will turn them into a horror, an object for hissing, and an unending desolation.
10 Omngaihnah ol neh kohoenah ol, yulokung kah ol neh vasa ol khaw, kuelhsum ol neh hmaiim hmaivang khaw amih lamloh ka paltham sak ni.
I will put an end to the sound of joy and sound of gladness, the sound of the groom and the sound of the bride, the sound of the millstones and the light of the lamp.
11 Diklai pum he imrhong la, imsuep la poeh ni. Te vaengah namtom he Babylon manghai taengah kum sawmrhih thohtat uh ni.
Then all of this land will become a desolation and a horror, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon for seventy years.
12 Kum sawmrhih a cup vaengah Babylon manghai neh namtom te ka cawh ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Amih kah thaesainah kongah Khalden khohmuen ah pataeng kumhal kah khopong la ka khueh ni.
Then it will happen when seventy years have been completed, that I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans—this is Yahweh's declaration—for their iniquity and make it an unending desolation.
13 A taengah ka thui ka ol boeih he diklai soah ka thoeng rhoe ka thoeng sak ni. Namtom boeih taengah Jeremiah a tonghma te he cabu khuiah boeih a daek coeng.
Then I will carry out against that land all the words that I had spoken, and everything written in this book that Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
14 Amih khaw amamih lamloh namtom cungkuem neh manghai tanglue rhoek te thotat uh ni. Amamih kah bisai neh a kut dongkah a khoboe bangla amih taengah ka thuung ni.
For also many other nations and great kings will make slaves out of these nations. I will repay them for their deeds and the works of their hands.'”
15 Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh kai taengah he ni a thui. Ka kut lamkah kosi misur boengloeng he doe lamtah namtom boeih te tul lah. Nang te amih taengah kan tueih coeng.
For Yahweh, God of Israel, said this to me, “Take this cup of the wine of fury from my hand and make all the nations to which I am sending you drink it.
16 A ok uh vaengah tuen uh vetih yan uh bitni. cunghang hmai te amih laklo ah ka tueih coeng lah ko.
For they will drink and then stagger about and rant madly before the sword that I am sending out among them.”
17 Te dongah BOEIPA kut lamkah boengloeng te ka doe tih namtom te boeih ka tul. Amih taengah te ni BOEIPA loh kai n'tueih.
So I took the cup from Yahweh's hand, and I made all the nations to which Yahweh had sent me drink it:
18 Tahae khohnin kah bangla Jerusalem neh Judah khopuei rhoek khaw, a manghai rhoek neh a mangpa rhoek khaw, amih te imrhong la, imsuep la, thuithetnah la, rhunkhuennah la khueh ham,
Jerusalem, the cities of Judah and her kings and officials—to turn them into ruins and something terrifying, and into an object for hissing and cursing, as they are at this present day.
19 Egypt manghai Pharaoh neh a sal rhoek khaw, a mangpa rhoek neh a pilnam boeih,
Other nations also had to drink it: Pharaoh king of Egypt and his servants; his officials and all his people;
20 Namcom boeih neh Uz kho kah manghai boeih khaw, Philisti kho kah manghai boeih neh Ashkelon khaw, Gaza neh Ekron neh Ashdod kah a meet khaw,
all people of mixed heritage and all the kings of the land of Uz; all the kings of the land of Philistia—Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
21 Edom, Moab neh Ammon koca rhoek khaw,
Edom and Moab and the people of Ammon.
22 Tyre manghai boeih neh Sidon manghai boeih khaw, tuipuei rhalvangan ah sanglak manghai rhoek khaw,
The kings of Tyre and Sidon, the kings of the coasts on the other side of the sea,
23 Dedan, Tema, Buz neh baengki aka kuet boeih,
Dedan, Tema, and Buz with all the ones who cut the hair on the sides of their heads, they also had to drink it.
24 Arabia manghai boeih neh khosoek kah khosa rhoek, namcom manghai boeih,
All the kings of Arabia and all the kings of people of mixed heritage who live in the wilderness;
25 Zimri manghai boeih neh Elam manghai boeih khaw, Madai manghai boeih,
all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;
26 tlangpuei manghai boeih neh a yoei a hla neh a manuca taengkah hlang te khaw, khohmuen hman kah diklai ram boeih khaw, Sheshak manghai khaw amih hnukah a ok ni.
all the kings of the north, the ones close by and the ones far away—everyone with his brother and all the kingdoms of the world that are on the surface of the earth, all of them had to drink the cup from Yahweh's hand. Finally, the king of Babylon will also drink from that cup.
27 Te phoeiah amih te thui pah. He ni Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh a thui. O uh lamtah rhuihmil uh, lok uh lamtah cungku uh lamtah thoo boeh. cunghang hmai te nangmih laklo ah kan tueih coeng te.
Yahweh said to me, “Now you must say to them, 'Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: Drink and become drunk, then vomit, fall down, and do not rise before the sword that I am sending among you.'
28 Na kut lamkah boengloeng te doe ham neh ok ham a aal uh atah amih te, ‘He he caempuei BOEIPA long ni a thui na ok rhoe na ok ni,’ ti nah van.
Then it will happen that if they refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, you will say to them, 'Yahweh of hosts says this: You must certainly drink it.
29 Khopuei te kai ming a phuk thil coeng te. Tedae anih taengah thaehuet ham ka tong coeng dongah na hmil la na hmil cakhaw na hmil thai mahpawh. Kai loh diklai khosa boeih ham cunghang ni ka khue pah coeng. He tah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
For see, I am about to bring disaster on the city that is called by my name, and should you yourselves be free from punishment? You will not be free, for I am calling a sword against all the inhabitants of the land!—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts.'
30 Nang tah he ol cungkuem neh amih taengah na tonghma coeng dongah amih te thui pah. BOEIPA tah hmuensang lamloh kawk vetih a khuirhung cim lamloh a ol a huel ni. A tolkhoeng aka cawt bangla tamlung neh kawk rhoe kawk vetih diklai khosa boeih te a doo ni.
You must prophesy all these words against them, and say to them, 'Yahweh will roar from the heights and he will shout with his voice from his holy dwelling, and he will roar mightily against his fold; and he will shout, like those who tread the grapes against all those who live on the earth.
31 Longlonah te diklai khobawt duela pawk ni. Tuituknah dongah namtom taengah lai aka tloek BOEIPA amah loh pumsa halang boeih te cunghang dongah a tloeng ni.
The sound of battle will resound to the ends of the earth, for Yahweh brings charges against the nations, and he brings judgment on all flesh, and the wicked ones he will put to the sword—this is Yahweh's declaration.'
32 He tah caempuei BOEIPA long ni a thui. Yoethae he namtom taeng lamloh namtom taengla pawk coeng ke. Te dongah diklai tlanghlaep lamloh hlipuei tanglue haenghang coeng.
Yahweh of hosts says this, 'See, disaster is going out from nation to nation, and a great storm is beginning from the farthest parts of the earth.
33 Te khohnin ah BOEIPA kut kah rhok te diklai khobawt lamloh diklai khobawt duela om ni. Te vaengah rhaengsae uh pawt vetih coi uh mahpawh. Te dongah up uh pawt vetih diklai hman ah aek bangla om uh ni.
Then those killed by Yahweh will on that day extend from one end of the earth to the other; they will not be mourned, gathered, or buried. They will be like dung on the ground.
34 Boiva aka dawn rhoek rhung uh lamtah pang uh laeh. Boiva kah boei rhoek bol uh laeh. Nangmih ngawn ham neh nangmih taekyaknah khohnin cup coeng tih sahnaih hnopai bangla tla pawn ni.
Wail, shepherds, and shout for help! Roll about in the dust, you leaders of the flock, for the days of your slaughter have come; you will be scattered when you fall like fine pottery.
35 Boiva aka dawn ham thuhaelnah neh boiva boei ham loeihnah khaw bing ni.
There is no refuge for the shepherds, there will be no escape for the leaders of the flock.
36 BOEIPA loh a rhamtlim te a rhoelrhak pah coeng dongah boiva aka dawn rhoek kah pangngawlnah ol neh boiva boei rhoek kah a rhung ol aih te.
Hear the cries of the shepherds and the wails of the leaders of the flock, for Yahweh is destroying their pastures.
37 BOEIPA kah thintoek thinsa hmai ah tah ngaimongnah toitlim khaw kuemsuem van ni.
So the peaceful pastures will be devastated because of Yahweh's fierce anger.
38 A thinsa hmai ah a vuelvaek tih a thintoek thinsa hmai ah tah sathuengca bangla a po te a hnoo vetih a diklai te imsuep la om ni.
Like a young lion, he has left his den, for their land will become a horror because of the oppressor's anger, because of his angry wrath.'”
