Jeremiah 24

1 Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh Judah manghai Jehoiakim capa Jekoniah neh Judah mangpa rhoek te a poelyoe tih Jerusalem lamkah kutthai neh thidae te Babylon la a khuen phoeiah BOEIPA bawkim hmai kah voh rhoi dongah thaibu thaih a khueh te BOEIPA loh kai tarha n'tueng.

The Lord shewed me: and behold two baskets full of figs, set before the temple of the Lord: after that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried away Jechonias the son of Joakim the king of Juda, and his chief men, and the craftsmen, and engravers of Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.

2 Voh khat dongkah thaibu thaih tah thaibu thaihloe bangla bahoeng then. Voh pakhat dongkah thaibu thaih tah a thaenah khui lamloh caak pawt ham hil bahoeng thae.

One basket had very good figs, like the figs of the first season: and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten, because they were bad.

3 Te vaengah BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Jeremiah balae na hmuh,” a ti. Te dongah, “Thaibu thaibu rhoe mah aka then tah bahoeng then tih aka thae tah a thae uet ah a thaenah lamloh caak la lo pawh,” ka ti tah.

And the Lord said to me: What seest thou, Jeremias? And I said: Figs, the good figs, very good: and the bad figs, very bad, which cannot be eaten because they are bad.

4 Te vaengah BOEIPA ol tah kai taengah ha pawk tih,

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

5 “He tah Israel Pathen BOEIPA long ni a thui. He kah thaibu then bangla Judah hlangsol te ka hmat van. Te khaw he hmuen lamloh Khalden khohmuen ah a then lam ni ka tueih.

Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so will I regard the captives of Juda, whom I have sent forth out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans, for their own good.

6 Ka mik he amih soah a then la ka khueh vetih amih te he khohmuen la ka mael sak ni. Amih te ka thoh vetih ka koengloeng mahpawh. Amih te ka phung vetih ka phuk mahpawh.

And I will set my eyes upon them to be pacified, and I will bring them again into this land: and I will be their God: and I will build them up, and not pull them down: and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.

7 Kai kamah he BOEIPA ni tila ming sak ham lungbuei te amih taengah ka paek ni. Te vaengah kamah kah pilnam la om uh vetih kai khaw amih kah Pathen la ka om van ni. A lungbuei boeih neh kai taengla ha mael uh mak atah,” a ti.

And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: because they shall return to me with their whole heart.

8 Tedae thaibu aka thae bangla a thaenah lamloh a caak thai pawt te BOEIPA loh, “Judah manghai Zedekiah neh a mangpa rhoek taengah khaw, he khohmuen ah aka sueng Jerusalem kah a meet rhoek taengah khaw, Egypt kho kah khosa rhoek taengah khaw ka khueh van ni.

And as the very bad figs, that cannot be eaten, because they are bad: thus saith the Lord: So will I give Sedecias the king of Juda, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that have remained in this city, and that dwell in the land of Egypt.

9 Amih te tonganah neh ngaihuetnah la, yoethaenah la ka khueh vetih diklai ram tom taengah kokhahnah la, thuidoeknah la thuinuetnah la, rhunkhuennah la ka khueh vetih amih te hmuen takuem ah te ka heh ni.

And I will deliver them up to vexation, and affliction, to all the kingdoms of the earth: to be a reproach, and a byword, and a proverb, and to be a curse in all places, to which I have cast them out.

10 Amamih taeng neh a napa rhoek taengah ka paek khohmuen dong lamloh a cing uh duela amih taengah cunghang, khokha neh duektahaw te ka tueih pah ni.

And I will send among them the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence: till they be consumed out of the land which I gave to them, and their fathers.
