Jeremiah 32
1 Judah manghai Zedekiah kah a kum, kum rha dongah BOEIPA taeng lamkah ol te Jeremiah taengla ha pawk. Te vaengah Nebukhanezar kah a kum tah kum hlai rhet lo coeng.
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 Te vaengah Babylon manghai tatthai rhoek loh Jerusalem te a dum uh coeng. Tonghma Jeremiah khaw Judah manghai im kah vongup thongim ah a khoh tih om coeng.
Now at that time the king of Babylon’s army was besieging Jerusalem. Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah’s house.
3 Judah manghai Zedekiah loh, “'BOEIPA loh he khopuei he Babylon manghai kut ah ka paek coeng tih a tuuk pawn ni.
For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, “Why do you prophesy, and say, ‘The LORD says, “Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will take it;
4 Tedae Judah manghai Zedekiah he Khalden kut lamloh poenghal mahpawh. Babylon manghai kut ah a paek rhoe a paek rhoe ni. Te vaengah a ka neh a ka voek uh rhoi vetih a mik rhoi khaw a mik, mik ah so uh rhoi bitni.
and Zedekiah king of Judah won’t escape out of the hand of the Kasdim, but will surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and will speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes will see his eyes;
5 Zedekiah te Babylon loh a khuen vetih kai n'hip hlan duela pahoi om ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Khalden te na vathoh thil akhaw na thaihtak mahpawh,’ a ti,” tila thui ham nim na tonghma?” a ti nah tih a khoh.
and he will bring Zedekiah to Babylon, and he will be there until I visit him,” says the LORD, “though you fight with the Kasdim, you will not prosper”’?”
6 Te vaengah Jeremiah loh, “BOEIPA ol kai taengla ha pawk tih,
Jeremiah said, “The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
7 “Na panoe Shallum capa Hanamel te na taengla ha pawk coeng te. Anathoth kah kai khohmuen te namah ham lai laeh. Lai ham tlannah khaw namah kah hamsum ni, ' a ti ni,” a ti.
‘Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle will come to you, saying, “Buy my field that is in Anathoth; for the right of redemption is yours to buy it.”’”
8 BOEIPA ol bangla ka panoe capa Hanamel te kai taengah thongim vongup la ha pawk. Te phoeiah kamah te, “Benjamin khohmuen, Anathoth kah kai khohmuen te lai laeh. Rho kah hamsum khaw namah coeng tih tlannah khaw namah kah ni, namah ham lai laeh. Te dongah he tah BOEIPA ol ni tila ka ming,” a ti.
“So Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the guard according to the LORD’s word, and said to me, ‘Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours. Buy it for yourself.’ “Then I knew that this was the LORD’s word.
9 Te dongah ka panoe capa Hanamel taeng lamkah khohmuen Anathoth kah te ka lai pah. Anih ham tangka la ngun te shekel hlai rhih ka thuek pah.
I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.
10 Cabu dongah khaw ka daek tih kutnoek ka daeng. Laipai te ka laipai sak phoeiah ni tangka te cooi dongah ka khiing pah.
I signed the deed, sealed it, called witnesses, and weighed the money in the balances to him.
11 Olpaek neh oltlueh a daeng thil tih a rha, lainah cabu te ka loh.
So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, containing the terms and conditions, and that which was open;
12 Te phoeiah lainah cabu te ka panoe capa Hanamel mikhmuh neh lainah cabu dongah aka daek laipai kah mikhmuh neh, thongim vongup kah aka ngol Judah pum kah mikhmuh ah Maaseiah koca Neriah capa Barukh taengah ka paek.
and I delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the witnesses who signed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the guard.
13 Barukh te amih mikhmuh ah ka uen tih,
“I commanded Baruch before them, saying,
14 “He tah Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA long ni a thui. He cabu he lainah cabu la khuen laeh. Kutnoek a daeng neh a rha cabu te khaw lai am khuiah khueh. Te daengah ni kum a sen a kuei eh.
the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase which is sealed, and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may last many days.’
15 He tah Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA long ni a thui. He diklai kah im khaw, khohmuen khaw, misur khaw koep a lai uh ni,” ka ti nah.
For the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel says: ‘Houses and fields and vineyards will yet again be bought in this land.’
16 Te phoeiah BOEIPA taengla ka thangthui tih lainah cabu te Neriah capa Barukh taengah ka paek.
Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD, saying,
17 Te vaengah, “Ya-oe ka Boeipa Yahovah, namah loh vaan neh diklai he na saii ne. Na thadueng tanglue neh na ban na lam tih namah ham tah ol boeih he khobaerhambae voel moenih.
“Ah Lord GOD! Behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for you.
18 A thawng thawng taengah sitlohnah na saii dae pa rhoek kathaesainah te amih hnukah a ca rhoek rhang dongah khaw a thuung. Tanglue neh hlangrhalh Pathen tah a ming caempuei Yahweh ni.
You show loving kindness to thousands, and repay the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them. The great, the mighty God, the LORD of Hosts is your name:
19 cilsuep khaw tanglue tih na bibi khaw cungkuem pai. Na mik loh hlang ca rhoe kah longpuei boeih te a sawt tih hlang boeih te a longpuei tarhing neh a khoboe kah a thaih tarhing ah na paek.
great in counsel, and mighty in work; whose eyes are open to all the ways of the children of men, to give everyone according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings;
20 Egypt kho ah miknoek neh kopoekrhai khaw na khueh. Te khohnin kah te Israel khui neh hlang taengah khaw tahae khohnin kah bangla namah ming ham ni na saii.
who performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even to this day, both in Israel and amongst other men; and made yourself a name, as it is today;
21 Na pilnam Israel te Egypt kho lamloh miknoek neh, kopoekrhai neh, tlungluen kut neh na khuen. Na ban nen khaw mueipuelnah la muep na thueng thil.
and brought your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, with wonders, with a strong hand, with an outstretched arm, and with great terror;
22 Suktui neh khoitui aka pha khohmuen he amih taengah paek ham a napa rhoek taengah na toemngam bangla he khohmuen he amih taengah ni na paek.
and gave them this land, which you swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey.
23 Ha pawk uh tih he he a pang uh vaengah na ol te hnatun uh pawh. Na olkhueng te khaw na olkhueng bangla vai uh pawt tih amih taengah saii ham na uen boeih te saii uh pawh. Te dongah ni he kah yoethae cungkuem he amih taengah na thoeng sak.
They came in and possessed it, but they didn’t obey your voice and didn’t walk in your law. They have done nothing of all that you commanded them to do. Therefore you have caused all this evil to come upon them.
24 Khopuei amah loh ham tanglung la ha pawk uh coeng ke. Te dongah khopuei he amah aka vathoh thil Khalden kut dongah a paek coeng. cunghang neh, khokha neh, duektahaw na thui te khaw thoeng tih na hmuh coeng he.
“Behold, siege ramps have been built against the city to take it. The city is given into the hand of the Kasdim who fight against it, because of the sword, of the famine, and of the pestilence. What you have spoken has happened. Behold, you see it.
25 Boeipa Yahovah namah loh kai taengah, “Khopuei he Khalden kut ah pae mai cakhaw khohmuen he tangka neh namah ham lai lamtah laipai te laipai sak na ti,” a ti nah.
You have said to me, Lord GOD, ‘Buy the field for money, and call witnesses;’ whereas the city is given into the hand of the Kasdim.”
26 Te vaengah BOEIPA ol te Jeremiah taengah ha pawk tih,
Then the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
27 “Kai tah pumsa boeih kah BOEIPA Pathen ni he, hno boeih he kai ham khobaerhambae a?” a ti nah.
“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?
28 Te dongah BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. He khopuei he Khalden kut neh Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar kut ah ka tloeng coeng tih a khaih pawn ni he.
Therefore the LORD says: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Kasdim, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will take it.
29 He khopuei aka vathoh thil Khalden rhoek ha pawk uh vetih he khopuei he hmai neh a hlup ni. Te vaengah kai veet ham Baal taeng neh pathen taengah tuisi a bueih uh tih a imphu ah a phum te im neh a hoeh pah ni.
The Kasdim, who fight against this city, will come and set this city on fire, and burn it with the houses on whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger.
30 Israel ca neh Judah ca khaw ana om van tih a camoe lamloh ka mikhmuh ah boethae ni a. saii uh. Israel ca ngawn long khaw a kut dongkah bisai neh kai m'veet uh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
“For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done only that which was evil in my sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, says the LORD.
31 He khopuei he ka thintoek ham neh ka khosi ham khaw ka taengah om ngawn coeng. A thoong uh khohnin lamloh tahae khohnin duela ka mikhmuh lamloh a khoe rhoe coeng.
For this city has been to me a provocation of my anger and of my wrath from the day that they built it even to this day, so that I should remove it from before my face,
32 Israel ca rhoek neh Judah ca rhoek, amih kah a manghai rhoek neh a mangpa rhoek, a khosoih rhoek neh a tonghma, Judah hlang neh Jerusalem khosa loh boethae a saii boeih te kai ni m'veet uh.
because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger—they, their kings, their princes, their priests, their prophets, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
33 Kai taengla a rhawn a koh uh tih a maelhmai then pawh. Te vaengah amih tukkil ham he a thoh neh a tukkil akhaw thuituennah doe ham a hnatun uh moenih.
They have turned their backs to me, and not their faces. Although I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not listened to receive instruction.
34 Im ah a sarhingkoi te a khueh uh tih a poeih ham te kai ming a khue thiluh.
But they set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.
35 A canu neh a capa te Molek taengah paan sak ham kolrhawk ah Baal hmuensang te a thoh uh. Te tueilaehkoi te saii ham amih ka uen pawt tih ka lungbuei khaw a paan moenih. Te dongah Judah he tholh rhoela tholh.
They built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through fire to Molech, which I didn’t command them. It didn’t even come into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.”
36 Tedae he khopuei kawng tah Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh a thui tangloeng coeng he. Te ni nangmih khaw, 'Babylon manghai kut dongah cunghang neh, khokha neh, duektahaw neh a thak ni, ' a ti te.
Now therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, says concerning this city, about which you say, “It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence:”
37 Kai loh amih te diklai pum lamkah ka coi coeng he. Ka thintoek ah, ka kosi neh ka thinhul bat ah ni te lam te amih ka heh. Tedae amih te he hmuen la kam mael puei vetih ngaikhuek la kho ka sak sak ni.
“Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries where I have driven them in my anger, and in my wrath, and in great indignation; and I will bring them again to this place. I will cause them to dwell safely.
38 Kamah taengah pilnam la om uh vetih kai khaw amih taengah Pathen la ka om uh ni.
Then they will be my people, and I will be their God.
39 Te vaengah amih te lungbuei pakhat neh longpuei pakhat ni ka paek eh. Te daengah ni hnin takuem ah kai he n'rhih uh vetih amamih ham neh amih hnukkah a ca rhoek ham khaw a then eh.
I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their good and the good of their children after them.
40 Amih taengah kumhal kah paipi te ka saii vetih amih taengah ka voelphoen ham khaw amih taeng lamloh ka paa mahpawh. Kai hinyahnah te amih thinko ah ka khueh daengah kai taeng lamloh a nong uh pawt eh.
I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good. I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me.
41 Amih taengah voelphoeng ham te amih soah ka ngaingaih ni. Amih te he khohmuen ah ka lungbuei boeih, ka hinglu boeih neh oltak dongah ka phung ni.
Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.”
42 BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. He pilnam soah he yoethae tanglue a cungkuem ka thoeng sak bangla amih taengah hnothen a cungkuem la ka thui te amih taengah ka thoeng sak van.
For the LORD says: “Just as I have brought all this great evil on this people, so I will bring on them all the good that I have promised them.
43 He kah kho ah khohmuen he koep a lai ni. Te ni nangmih loh, 'Hlang neh rhamsa aka om pawh khopong te Khalden kut dongah a paek,’ na ti uh.
Fields will be bought in this land, about which you say, ‘It is desolate, without man or animal. It is given into the hand of the Kasdim.’
44 Khohmuen te tangka neh a lai uh vetih cabu dongah daek ham neh kutnoek daeng ham khaw Jerusalem kaepvai ah, Judah khopuei ah, tlang kah khopuei ah, kolrhawk khopuei ah, tuithim khopuei ah, Benjamin kho ah laipai te a a laipai sak ni. Amih khuikah thongtla te ka mael puei ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
Men will buy fields for money, sign the deeds, seal them, and call witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places around Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, in the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South; for I will cause their captivity to be reversed,” says the LORD.
