< Jeremiah 26 >
1 Judah manghai Josiah capa Jehoiakim a manghai cuek vaengah he ol he BOEIPA taeng lamloh thui hamla ha pawk.
At the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came from the LORD:
2 BOEIPA loh, “BOEIPA im kah vongup ah pai lamtah BOEIPA im ah bawk hamla aka pawk Judah khopuei boeih te thui pah. Amih taengah thui ham nang kang uen ol boeih tah ol te yuek boeh.
“This is what the LORD says: Stand in the courtyard of the house of the LORD and speak all the words I have commanded you to speak to all the cities of Judah who come to worship there. Do not omit a word.
3 A hnatun uh tih hlang loh a boethae longpuei lamloh mael uh khaming. Te daengah ni a khoboe thaenah hmai ah boethae neh amih saii ham ka moeh te ko ka hlawt eh.
Perhaps they will listen and turn—each from his evil way of life—so that I may relent of the disaster I am planning to bring upon them because of the evil of their deeds.
4 BOEIPA loh a thui he amih taengah thui pah. Nangmih mikhmuh ah kang khueh ka olkhueng dongah pongpa ham kai ol he na hnatun pawt atah,
And you are to tell them that this is what the LORD says: ‘If you do not listen to Me and walk in My law, which I have set before you,
5 Ka sal rhoek kah ol te hnatun sak ham kai loh nangmih taengah tonghma te kan tueih. Ka thoh neh kan tueih akhaw na yaak uh moenih.
and if you do not listen to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I have sent you again and again even though you did not listen,
6 Te dongah he im he Shiloh bangla ka khueh vetih he khopuei rhoe he diklai namtom boeih taengah rhunkhuennah la ka khueh ni,” a ti.
then I will make this house like Shiloh, and I will make this city an object of cursing among all the nations of the earth.’”
7 Jeremiah loh BOEIPA im ah he ol a thui te khosoih rhoek, tonghma rhoek neh pilnam pum loh a yaak.
Now the priests and prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD,
8 Pilnam boeih taengah thui ham BOEIPA loh a uen boeih thui ham khaw Jeremiah loh a bawt sak ham a om coeng. Te vaengah anih te khosoih rhoek, tonghma rhoek neh pilnam boeih loh a tuuk uh tih, “Duek khaw duek laeh.
and as soon as he had finished telling all the people everything the LORD had commanded him to say, the priests and prophets and all the people seized him, shouting, “You must surely die!
9 Balae tih BOEIPA ming neh na tonghma vaengah, “He im he Shiloh bangla om ni, he khopuei khaw khosa a om pawt la a khah ni, ' na ti,” a ti na uh. Te vaengah pilnam boeih loh Jeremiah te BOEIPA im ah a tingtun thiluh.
How dare you prophesy in the name of the LORD that this house will become like Shiloh and this city will be desolate and deserted!” And all the people assembled against Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.
10 Te olka te Judah mangpa rhoek loh a yaak uh tih BOEIPA im kah manghai im lamloh cet uh. Te phoeiah BOEIPA vongka thai thohka ah ngol uh.
When the officials of Judah heard these things, they went up from the king’s palace to the house of the LORD and sat there at the entrance of the New Gate.
11 Te phoeiah khosoih rhoek neh tonghma rhoek loh mangpa rhoek neh pilnam boeih taengah a thui uh tih, “Na hna neh na yaak uh bangla he khopuei a tonghma thil dongah he hlang ham laitloeknah tah dueknah ni aka om coeng,” a ti uh.
Then the priests and prophets said to the officials and all the people, “This man is worthy of death, for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your own ears!”
12 Tedae Jeremiah loh mangpa boeih taeng neh pilnam boeih taengah a thui pah tih, “He im neh he khopuei he tonghma thil ham ni BOEIPA loh kai tueih. Tekah ol cungkuem te na yaak uh coeng.
But Jeremiah said to all the officials and all the people, “The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.
13 Na longpuei neh na khoboe te tlaih uh laeh lamtah BOEIPA na Pathen ol te hnatun uh. Te daengah ni nangmih taengah a thui bangla yoethae kawng te BOEIPA loh ko a hlawt eh.
So now, correct your ways and deeds, and obey the voice of the LORD your God, so that He might relent of the disaster He has pronounced against you.
14 Kai aih he, nangmih kut dongkah kai aih he. Then na ti bangla, nangmih mik ah thuem na ti bangla kai taengah saii uh.
As for me, here I am in your hands; do to me what you think is good and right.
15 Tedae na ming khaw na ming uh coeng. Kai he nan duek sak uh cakhaw ommongsitoe thii te namamih long ni namamih so neh he khopuei so neh a khuikah khosa rhoek soah na khueh uh eh. He ol cungkuem he nangmih hna dongah thui ham ni BOEIPA loh kai he nangmih taengah oltak la n'tueih,” a ti nah.
But know for certain that if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood upon yourselves, upon this city, and upon its residents; for truly the LORD has sent me to speak all these words in your hearing.”
16 Te vaengah mangpa rhoek neh pilnam boeih loh khosoih rhoek taeng neh tonghma taengah, “Dueknah neh laitloeknah tah he kah hlang ham moenih, mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA ming neh mamih ham ni a thui,” a ti uh.
Then the officials and all the people told the priests and prophets, “This man is not worthy of death, for he has spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God!”
17 Khohmuen patong rhoek khui lamkah hlang rhoek te thoo uh tih pilnam hlangping boeih te a voek uh.
Some of the elders of the land stood up and said to the whole assembly of the people,
18 “Maikah, Judah manghai Hezekiah tue vaengah tonghma la aka om Morasthite Maikah loh, Judah pilnam boeih taengah a thui pah tih, 'Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui, Zion te lohma bangla a yoe ni. Jerusalem te lairhok la poeh vetih a im tlang te hmuensang duup la poeh ni,’ a ti.
“Micah the Moreshite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah and told all the people of Judah that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the temple mount a wooded ridge.’
19 Anih te Judah manghai Hezekiah neh Judah pum loh na duek rhoe na duek sak uh nama? BOEIPA te a rhih moenih a? BOEIPA maelhmai te a sak pah daengah ni amih taengah a thui yoethae kawng te BOEIPA loh ko a hlawt. Tedae boethae he mamih loh mamih kah hinglu soah ni muep n'saii uh coeng.
Did Hezekiah king of Judah or anyone else in Judah put him to death? Did Hezekiah not fear the LORD and seek His favor, and did not the LORD relent of the disaster He had pronounced against them? But we are about to bring great harm on ourselves!”
20 Hlang he Kiriathjearim lamloh Shemaiah capa Uriah khaw BOEIPA ming neh tonghma la om van. Te vaengah he khopuei neh he khohmuen taengah khaw Jeremiah ol bang boeih lam ni a tonghma thil coeng,” a ti nah.
Now there was another man prophesying in the name of the LORD, Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-jearim. He prophesied against this city and against this land the same things that Jeremiah did.
21 Manghai Jehoiakim neh a hlangrhalh boeih long khaw, mangpa boeih long khaw anih ol te a yaak. Te dongah anih te duek sak ham manghai loh a tlap. Tedae Uriah loh a yaak vaengah a rhih. Te dongah yong tih Egypt la pawk.
King Jehoiakim and all his mighty men and officials heard his words, and the king sought to put him to death. But when Uriah found out about it, he fled in fear and went to Egypt.
22 Tedae manghai Jehoiakim loh Egypt hlang Akbor capa Elnathan neh amah taengkah hlang rhoek te Egypt la a thueih.
Then King Jehoiakim sent men to Egypt: Elnathan son of Achbor along with some other men.
23 Te dongah Uriah te Egypt lamloh a khuen uh tih Jehoiakim manghai taengla a thak uh. Te phoeiah anih te cunghang neh a ngawn tih a rhok te pilnam koca kah phuel ah a voeih.
They brought Uriah out of Egypt and took him to King Jehoiakim, who had him put to the sword and his body thrown into the burial place of the common people.
24 Tedae Shaphan capa Ahikam kut he Jeremiah taengah om dae, anih duek sak ham pilnam kut dongah pae pawh.
Nevertheless, Ahikam son of Shaphan supported Jeremiah, so he was not handed over to the people to be put to death.
