Jeremiah 25
1 Judah manghai Josiah capa Jehoiakim kah a kum li dongah Judah pilnam pum kawng dongah Jeremiah taengla ol ha pawk. Te vaengah Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar kah kum lamhmacuek la om.
The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah (this was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon),
2 Te te tonghma Jeremiah loh Judah pilnam boeih taeng neh Jerusalem khosa boeih taengah thui hamla a thui pah.
which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem:
3 Judah manghai Amon capa Josiah kum hlai thum lamloh tahae khohnin duela kum kul kum thum hil he kai taengla BOEIPA ol ha pawk. Ka thoh lamloh nangmih taengah ka thui khaw ka thui van dae na yaak uh moenih.
From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, even to this day, these twenty-three years, the LORD’s word has come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking; but you have not listened.
4 BOEIPA loh a thoh lamkah ni a sal rhoek tonghma boeih te nangmih taengah han tueih coeng dae na hnatun uh pawt tih hnatun ham hna na kaeng uh moenih.
The LORD has sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them (but you have not listened or inclined your ear to hear),
5 Hlang he a longpuei thae neh na khoboe thaenah lamloh mael laeh saeh ti nah. BOEIPA loh nangmih taeng neh na pa rhoek taengah khosuen lamloh kumhal duela a paek khohmuen ah khosa uh.
saying, “Return now everyone from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD has given to you and to your fathers, from of old and even forever more.
6 Pathen tloe rhoek taengah thothueng ham neh amih te bawk ham cet uh boeh. Na kut dongkah khoboe neh kai nan veet uh pawt daengah ni nangmih taengah thae ka huet pawt eh.
Do not go after other gods to serve them or worship them, and do not provoke me to anger with the work of your hands; then I will do you no harm.”
7 Tedae kai BOEIPA kah olphong he na hnatun uh moenih. Te dongah ni nangmih te yoethae sak ham nangmih kut dongkah bibi neh kai nan veet la nan veet uh.
“Yet you have not listened to me,” says the LORD, “that you may provoke me to anger with the work of your hands to your own hurt.”
8 Ka ol he na hnatun uh pawt dongah ni caempuei BOEIPA loh he khaw a thui van.
Therefore the LORD of Armies says: “Because you have not heard my words,
9 Kai loh ka tueih dongah tlangpuei cako te boeih ka loh pawn ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Ka sal Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar khaw he khohmuen kah amih taeng neh khosa rhoek taengah khaw, a kaepvai rhoek kah namtom boeih taengah khaw ka thoeng sak ni. Te vaengah amih te ka thup vetih imsuep neh thuithetnah neh kumhal kah imrhong la ka khueh ni.
behold, I will send and take all the families of the north,” says the LORD, “and I will send to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations around. I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
10 Omngaihnah ol neh kohoenah ol, yulokung kah ol neh vasa ol khaw, kuelhsum ol neh hmaiim hmaivang khaw amih lamloh ka paltham sak ni.
Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.
11 Diklai pum he imrhong la, imsuep la poeh ni. Te vaengah namtom he Babylon manghai taengah kum sawmrhih thohtat uh ni.
This whole land will be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
12 Kum sawmrhih a cup vaengah Babylon manghai neh namtom te ka cawh ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Amih kathaesainah kongah Khalden khohmuen ah pataeng kumhal kah khopong la ka khueh ni.
“It will happen, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation,” says the LORD, “for their iniquity. I will make the land of the Chaldeans desolate forever.
13 A taengah ka thui ka ol boeih he diklai soah ka thoeng rhoe ka thoeng sak ni. Namtom boeih taengah Jeremiah a tonghma te he cabu khuiah boeih a daek coeng.
I will bring on that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
14 Amih khaw amamih lamloh namtom cungkuem neh manghai tanglue rhoek te thotat uh ni. Amamih kah bisai neh a kut dongkah a khoboe bangla amih taengah ka thuung ni.
For many nations and great kings will make bondservants of them, even of them. I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands.”
15 Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh kai taengah he ni a thui. Ka kut lamkah kosi misur boengloeng he doe lamtah namtom boeih te tul lah. Nang te amih taengah kan tueih coeng.
For the LORD, the God of Israel, says to me: “Take this cup of the wine of wrath from my hand, and cause all the nations to whom I send you to drink it.
16 A ok uh vaengah tuen uh vetih yan uh bitni. cunghang hmai te amih laklo ah ka tueih coeng lah ko.
They will drink, and reel back and forth, and be insane, because of the sword that I will send among them.”
17 Te dongah BOEIPA kut lamkah boengloeng te ka doe tih namtom te boeih ka tul. Amih taengah te ni BOEIPA loh kai n'tueih.
Then I took the cup at the LORD’s hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom the LORD had sent me:
18 Tahae khohnin kah bangla Jerusalem neh Judah khopuei rhoek khaw, a manghai rhoek neh a mangpa rhoek khaw, amih te imrhong la, imsuep la, thuithetnah la, rhunkhuennah la khueh ham,
Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, with its kings and its princes, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is today;
19 Egypt manghai Pharaoh neh a sal rhoek khaw, a mangpa rhoek neh a pilnam boeih,

and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are on the surface of the earth. The king of Sheshach will drink after them.
27 Te phoeiah amih te thui pah. He ni Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh a thui. O uh lamtah rhuihmil uh, lok uh lamtah cungku uh lamtah thoo boeh. cunghang hmai te nangmih laklo ah kan tueih coeng te.
“You shall tell them, ‘The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says: “Drink, and be drunk, vomit, fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.”’
28 Na kut lamkah boengloeng te doe ham neh ok ham a aal uh atah amih te, 'He he caempuei BOEIPA long ni a thui na ok rhoe na ok ni, 'ti nah van.
It shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at your hand to drink, then you shall tell them, ‘The LORD of Armies says: “You shall surely drink.
29 Khopuei te kai ming a phuk thil coeng te. Tedae anih taengah thaehuet ham ka tong coeng dongah na hmil la na hmil cakhaw na hmil thai mahpawh. Kai loh diklai khosa boeih ham cunghang ni ka khue pah coeng. He tah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
For, behold, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name; and should you be utterly unpunished? You will not be unpunished; for I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth, says the LORD of Armies.”’
30 Nang tah he ol cungkuem neh amih taengah na tonghma coeng dongah amih te thui pah. BOEIPA tah hmuensang lamloh kawk vetih a khuirhung cim lamloh a ol a huel ni. A tolkhoeng aka cawt bangla tamlung neh kawk rhoe kawk vetih diklai khosa boeih te a doo ni.
“Therefore prophesy against them all these words, and tell them, “‘The LORD will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation. He will mightily roar against his fold. He will give a shout, as those who tread grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 Longlonah te diklai khobawt duela pawk ni. Tuituknah dongah namtom taengah lai aka tloek BOEIPA amah loh pumsa halang boeih te cunghang dongah a tloeng ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
A noise will come even to the end of the earth; for the LORD has a controversy with the nations. He will enter into judgment with all flesh. As for the wicked, he will give them to the sword,”’ says the LORD.”
32 He tah caempuei BOEIPA long ni a thui. Yoethae he namtom taeng lamloh namtom taengla pawk coeng ke. Te dongah diklai tlanghlaep lamloh hlipuei tanglue haenghang coeng.
The LORD of Armies says, “Behold, evil will go out from nation to nation, and a great storm will be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth.”
33 Te khohnin ah BOEIPA kut kah rhok te diklai khobawt lamloh diklai khobawt duela om ni. Te vaengah rhaengsae uh pawt vetih coi uh mahpawh. Te dongah up uh pawt vetih diklai hman ah aek bangla om uh ni.
The slain of the LORD will be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. They will not be lamented. They will not be gathered or buried. They will be dung on the surface of the ground.
34 Boiva aka dawn rhoek rhung uh lamtah pang uh laeh. Boiva kah boei rhoek bol uh laeh. Nangmih ngawn ham neh nangmih taekyaknah khohnin cup coeng tih sahnaih hnopai bangla tla pawn ni.
Wail, you shepherds, and cry. Wallow in dust, you leader of the flock; for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions have fully come, and you will fall like fine pottery.
35 Boiva aka dawn ham thuhaelnah neh boiva boei ham loeihnah khaw bing ni.
The shepherds will have no way to flee. The leader of the flock will have no escape.
36 BOEIPA loh a rhamtlim te a rhoelrhak pah coeng dongah boiva aka dawn rhoek kah pangngawlnah ol neh boiva boei rhoek kah a rhungol aih te.
A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and the wailing of the leader of the flock, for the LORD destroys their pasture.
37 BOEIPA kah thintoek thinsa hmai ah tah ngaimongnah toitlim khaw kuemsuem van ni.
The peaceful folds are brought to silence because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
38 A thinsa hmai ah a vuelvaek tih a thintoek thinsa hmai ah tah sathuengca bangla a po te a hnoo vetih a diklai te imsuep la om ni.
He has left his covert, as the lion; for their land has become an astonishment because of the fierceness of the oppression, and because of his fierce anger.
