Jeremiah 43

1 A taengah a tueih pah a BOEIPA Pathen kah ol cungkuem te pilnam pum taengah a thui. Te te Jeremiah loh a khah vaengah a BOEIPA Pathen loh amih ham a paek ol te cung.

It happened that Jeremiah finished proclaiming to all the people all the words of Yahweh their God that Yahweh their God had told him to say.

2 Te vaengah Hoshaiah capa Azariah neh Kareah capa Johanan neh thinlen hlang boeih loh Jeremiah te, “A honghi ni na thui, Egypt la caeh pawt ham neh bakuep pahoi pawt ham aka thui la mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA loh nang n'tueih moenih.

Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and all the arrogant men said to Jeremiah, “You are telling lies. Yahweh our God has not sent you to say, 'Do not go to Egypt to live there.'

3 Tedae kaimih he Khalden kut ah paek ham, kaimih duek sak ham neh kaimih he Babylon ah poelyoe ham ni kaimih voelah Neriah capa Barukh loh nang te m'vueh,” a ti na uh.

For Baruch son of Neriah is inciting you against us to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, for you to cause our death and to make us captives in Babylon.”

4 Judah khohmuen kah khosak ham dongah Kareah capa Johanan neh caem mangpa boeih neh pilnam pum loh BOEIPA ol te hnatun uh pawh.

So Johanan son of Kareah, all the princes of the army, and all the people refused to listen to Yahweh's voice to live in the land of Judah.

5 Kareah capa Johanan neh caem mangpa boeih loh, Judah khohmuen ah bakuep sak ham a heh nah namtom boeih lamloh aka mael Judah kah a meet te boeih a loh.

Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders took away all the remnant of Judah who had returned from all the nations where they had been scattered to live in the land of Judah.

6 Tongpa, huta neh camoe, manghai canu rhoek neh Shaphan koca Ahikam capa Gedaliah neh imtawt boeiping Nebuzaradan loh a paih hinglu boeih khaw, tonghma Jeremiah neh Neriah capa Barukh te a khuen.

They took the men and women, the children and the king's daughters, and every person whom Nebuzaradan, the commander of the king's bodyguards, had let remain with Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan. They also took Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch son of Neriah.

7 Te dongah Egypt khohmuen te a pha uh dae BOEIPA ol te a hnatun uh pawt dongah Tahpanhes la pawk uh.

They went to the land of Egypt, to Tahpanhes, because they did not listen to Yahweh's voice.

8 Tahpanhes ah Jeremiah taengla BOEIPA ol koep ha pawk tih,

So the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

9 “Na kut dongah lungto len lo lamtah Judah hlang rhoek kah mikhmuh ah Tahpanhes kah Pharaoh im thohka, taptlang laiting ah up.

“Take some large stones in your hand, and, in the sight of the people of Judah, hide them in the mortar in the pavement at the entrance to Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes.”

10 Te phoeiah amih te thui pah. Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. Ka sal Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar te ka tueih coeng dae ka loh pueng ni. He lungto ka up he anih kah ngolkhoel ka hol thil vetih a sokah amah po, amah po te a bueng thil ni.

Then say to them, “Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, 'See, I am about to send messengers to take Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon as my servant. I will place his throne over these stones that you, Jeremiah, have buried. Nebuchadnezzar will place his pavilion over them.

11 Egypt khohmuen la a pawk, a pawk vaengah dueknah ham tueng te dueknah neh, tamna ham tueng te tamna la, cunghang dongkah ham tueng te cunghang neh a ngawn ni.

For he will come and attack the land of Egypt. Anyone who is assigned to death will be given to death. Anyone who is assigned to captivity will be taken captive. Anyone who is assigned to the sword will be given to the sword.

12 Egypt pathen im te hmai ka hlup phoeiah a hoeh vetih amih te a sol ni. Boiva aka dawn loh a himbai neh a kulup bangla Egypt khohmuen neh kulup uh vetih te lamloh ngaimong la khoe uh ni.

Then I will light a fire in the temples of Egypt's gods. Nebuchadnezzar will burn them or capture them. He will clean out the land of Egypt just as shepherds clean vermin off their clothes. He will go out from that place in victory.

13 Egypt kho kah Bethshemesh kaam te a phaek pah vetih Egypt pathen im te hmai neh a hoeh ni,” a ti nah.

He will break the stone pillars at Heliopolis in the land of Egypt. He will burn the temples of Egypt's gods.'”
