Jeremiah 36
1 Judah manghai Josiah capa Jehoiakim te a kum li dongah a om vaengah he ol he BOEIPA taeng lamloh Jeremiah taengla ha pawk.
And these are the words of the book which Jeremias sent from Jerusalem to the elders of the captivity, and to the priests, and to the false prophets, even an epistle to Babylon for the captivity, and to all the people;
2 “Cabu cayol te namah ham lo lamtah Josiah tue vaengkah nang taengah ka thui khohnin lamloh tahae khohnin duela nang taengah Israel kawng, Judah kawng neh namtom boeih kah a kawng ka thui ol boeih te daek thil.
(after the departure of Jechonias the king and the queen, and the eunuchs, and every freeman, and bondman, and artificer, out of Jerusalem; )
3 Amih soah saii ham ka moeh yoethae cungkuem te Judah imkhui loh a yaak uh khaming. Te daengah ni hlang he a longpuei thae lamloh mael uh vetih amih kah thaesainah neh a tholhnah te khodawk ka ngai eh,” a ti.
by the hand of Eleasan son of Saphan, and Gamarias son of Chelcias, (whom Sedekias king of Juda sent to the king of Babylon to Babylon) saying,
4 Te dongah Jeremiah loh Neriah capa Barukh te a khue tih Jeremiah ka dongkah BOEIPA ol boeih neh cabu cayol dongah anih taengah a thui pah te Barukh loh a daek.
Thus said the Lord God of Israel concerning the captivity which I caused to be carried away from Jerusalem;
5 Te vaengah Jeremiah loh Barukh te a uen tih, “Kai he n'khaih coeng tih BOEIPA im la ka mop ham ka coeng moenih.
Build you houses, and inhabit [them]; and plant gardens, and eat the fruits thereof;
6 Te dongah namah kun lamtah ka ka lamkah BOEIPA ol na daek te cayol dong lamloh yaehnah hnin ah BOEIPA im kah pilnam hna ah hoe pah. A khopuei lamkah aka pawk Judah pum kah a hna ah khaw hoe pah.
and take you wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, and be multiplied, and be not diminished.
7 Amih kah lungmacil loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a hal tih hlang he a longpuei thae lamloh mael uh khaming. BOEIPA loh he pilnam he thintoek neh kosi a phoei thil khungdaeng coeng,” a ti nah.
And seek the peace of the land into which I have carried you captive, and you shall pray to the Lord for the people: for in its peace you shall [have] peace.
8 Tonghma Jeremiah loh a uen bangla Neriah capa Barukh loh boeih a saii. Cabu lamkah BOEIPA ol te BOEIPA im ah a hoe.
For thus says the Lord; Let not the false prophets that are among you persuade you, and let not your diviners persuade you, and listen not to your dreams which you dream.
9 Judah manghai Josiah capa Jehoiakim te a kum nga a hla ko dongah a om vaengah Jerusalem kah pilnam boeih neh Judah khopuei lamloh Jerusalem la aka pawk pilnam boeih te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah yaehnah khueh ham a hoe uh.
For they prophesy to you unrighteous [words] in my name; and I sent them not.
10 Te vaengah BOEIPA im thai vongka kah thohka soah vangca kah cadaek Shaphan capa Gemariah imkhan om. Te lamloh cabu dongkah Jeremiah ol te Barukh loh BOEIPA im kah pilnam tom kah a hna ah a hoe pah.
For thus said the Lord; When seventy years shall be on the point of being accomplished at Babylon, I will visit you, and will confirm my words to you, to bring back your people to this place.
11 Te vaengah cabu dongkah BOEIPA ol boeih te Shaphan koca Gemariah capa Mikhaiah loh a yaak.
And I will devise for you a device of peace, and not evil, to bestow upon you these [good things].
12 Te dongah manghai im kah cadaek imkhan la suntla thuk. Te vaengah mangpa boeih, cadaek Elishama, Shemaiah capa Delaiah, Akbor capa Elnathan, Shaphan capa Gemariah, Hananiah capa Zedekiah neh mangpa boeih khaw tarha ana ngol uh.
And do you pray to me, and I will listen to you: and do you earnestly seek me, and you shall find me;
13 Barukh loh pilnam hna ah cabu a tae vaengah a yaak ol boeih te Mikhaiah loh amih taengah a puen pah.
for you shall seek me with your whole heart.
14 Te vaengah mangpa boeih loh Nethaniah capa Jehudi, Shelemiah capa, Kushi capa te Barukh taengah a tueih uh tih, “Pilnam hna ah na tae cayol te na kut dongah hang khuen lamtah ha lo,” a ti nah. Te dongah Neriah capa Barukh loh cayol te a kut dongah a pom tih amih taengla cet.
And I will appear to you:
15 Te vaengah anih te, “Ngol lamtah kaimih hna ah tae laeh,” a ti na uh. Te dongah Barukh loh amih hna ah a tae pah.
whereas you said, The Lord has appointed for us prophets in Babylon:
16 Ol te boeih a yaak uh vaengah hlang he a hui taengah khaw birhih uh tih Barukh te, “He ol boeih he manghai taengla ka puen rhoe ka puen uh ham om,” a ti na uh.
17 Barukh te khaw a dawt uh tih, “Kaimih taengah thui laeh, a ka lamkah ol cungkuem he metlam na daek,” a ti na uh.
18 Barukh loh amih te, “He ol cungkuem he a ka lamloh kai taengah a thui vaengah cabu dongah catui neh ka daek,” a ti nah.
19 Mangpa rhoek loh Barukh te, “Namah khaw Jeremiah khaw cet rhoi lamtah thuh uh rhoi laeh. Mela na om rhoi khaw hlang loh ming boel saeh,” a ti na uh.
20 Te phoeiah vongup kah manghai taengla cet uh tih cayol te cadaek Elishama kah imkhan ah a khueh uh. Olka boeih te manghai kah a hna dongla a puen pa uh.
21 Te vaengah cayol aka lo hamla manghai loh Jehudi te a tueih. Cadaek Elishama imkhan lamloh hang khuen phoeiah tah Jehudi loh manghai kah a hna neh manghai taengah aka pai mangpa boeih kah a hna ah a tae pah.
Thus says the Lord concerning Achiab, and concerning Sedekias; Behold, I [will] deliver them into the hands of the king of Babylon; and he shall strike them in your sight.
22 Manghai te a hla ko dongah tah sikca im ah kho a sak tih a hmai kah tapca te hmai a toih.
And they shall make of them a curse in all the captivity of Juda in Babylon, saying, The Lord do to you as he did to Sedekias, and as he did to Achiab, whom the king of Babylon fried in the fire;
23 Jehudi loh thohkhaih pathum pali a tae vaengah cadaek kah paihat neh a hlueng tih tapca kah hmai khuila a voeih. Te dongah cayol khaw tapca dongkah hmai khuiah a pum la tlum van.
because of the iniquity which they wrought in Israel, and [because] they committed adultery with the wives of their fellow-citizens; and spoke a word in my name, which I did not command them [to speak], and I am witness, says the Lord.
24 Tedae manghai neh te ol cungkuem aka ya a sal boeih khaw birhih uh pawt tih a himbai khaw phen uh pawh.
And to Samaeas the Aelamite you shall say,
25 Elnathan, Delaiah neh Gemariah long pataeng cayol te hoeh pawt ham manghai taengah a hloep uh dae amih ol te hnatun pawh.
I sent you not in my name: and to Sophonias the priest the son of Maasaeas say you,
26 Manghai loh manghai capa Jerahmeel neh Azriel capa Seraiah, Abdeel capa Shelemiah te a uen tih cadaek Barukh neh tonghma Jeremiah te a tuuk sak. Tedae BOEIPA loh amih rhoi te a thuh.
The Lord has made you priest in the place of Jodae the priest, to be ruler in the house of the Lord over every prophet, and to every madman, and you shall put them in prison, and into the dungeon.
27 Jeremiah ka dongkah ol lamloh Barukh kah a daek cayol te manghai loh a hoeh phoeiah khaw BOEIPA ol he Jeremiah taengla koep ha pawk.
And now therefore have you reviled together Jeremias of Anathoth, who prophesied to you?
28 Mael lamtah namah ham cayol a tloe lo laeh. Lamhma kah ol boeih te te dongah daek laeh. Judah manghai Jehoiakim loh a hoeh cayol lamhma dongkah ol te boeih om sak.
Did he not send for this purpose? for in the course of this month he sent to you to Babylon, saying, It is far off: build you houses, and inhabit [them]; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
29 Te phoeiah Judah manghai Jehoiakim te thui pah. BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. ‘Babylon manghai te ha pawk rhoe ha pawk vetih he khohmuen he a phae ni, a khuikah hlang neh rhamsa he a kangkuen sak ni,’ a ti te a khuiah na daek thuek na ti dongah cayol te na hoeh.
And Sophonias read the book in the ears of Jeremias.
30 BOEIPA loh Judah manghai Jehoiakim kawng te a thui tangloeng ngawn coeng. David kah ngolkhoel dongah aka ngol te a taengah om mahpawh. A rhok te khothaih kholing neh khoyin vuelkoi dongah ni a voeih vetih a om eh.
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying,
31 Amah neh a tiingan rhoek, a sal rhoek te khaw ka cawh ni. Amih kah thaesainah te khaw amih so neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek soah, Judah hlang soah ka thoeng sak ni. Yoethae cungkuem he amih ka phoei thil dae a hnatun uh moenih,” a ti nah.
Send to the captivity, saying, Thus says the Lord concerning Samaeas the Aelamite, Since Samaeas has prophesied to you, and I sent him not, and he has made you to trust in iniquity,
32 Te dongah Jeremiah loh cayol a tloe te a loh tih cadaek Neriah capa Barukh te a paek. Te phoeiah Judah manghai Jehoiakim loh hmai neh a hoeh cabu dongkah aka om Jeremiah ka lamkah ol boeih te a khuiah a daek. Ol te amah te khaw amah phek la muep koep a tom.
therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I will visit Samaeas, and his family: and there shall not be a man of them in the midst of you to see the good which I will do to you: they shall not see [it].
