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, that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar 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 unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:

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 unto this day, these three and twenty years, the word of the LORD hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, speaking betimes and often; but ye have not hearkened.

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.

And the LORD hath sent unto you all His servants the prophets, sending them betimes and often — but ye have not hearkened, nor 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 ye now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto you and to your fathers, for ever and ever;

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.

and go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke Me not with the work of your hands, and I will do you no hurt.'

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 ye have not hearkened unto Me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke Me 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 thus saith the LORD of hosts: Because ye 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, saith the LORD, and I will send unto Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, My servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about; and 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 cause to cease from among 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.

And this whole land shall be a desolation, and a waste; and these nations shall 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.

And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it perpetual desolations.

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.

And I will bring upon that land all My words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath 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 shall make bondmen of them also; and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their own 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 thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto me: Take this cup of the wine of fury at My hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, 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.

And they shall drink, and reel to and fro, and be like madmen, 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 took I the cup of the LORD'S hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto 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, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them an appalment, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse; as it is this day;

19 Egypt manghai Pharaoh neh a sal rhoek khaw, a mangpa rhoek neh a pilnam boeih,

Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;

20 Namcom boeih neh Uz kho kah manghai boeih khaw, Philisti kho kah manghai boeih neh Ashkelon khaw, Gaza neh Ekron neh Ashdod kah a meet khaw,

and all the mingled people; and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;

21 Edom, Moab neh Ammon koca rhoek khaw,

Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon;

22 Tyre manghai boeih neh Sidon manghai boeih khaw, tuipuei rhalvangan ah sanglak manghai rhoek khaw,

and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea;

23 Dedan, Tema, Buz neh baengki aka kuet boeih,

Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that have the corners of their hair polled;

24 Arabia manghai boeih neh khosoek kah khosa rhoek, namcom manghai boeih,

and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the wilderness;

25 Zimri manghai boeih neh Elam manghai boeih khaw, Madai manghai boeih,

and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;

26 tlangpuei manghai boeih neh a yoei a hla neh a manuca taengkah hlang te khaw, khohmuen hman kah diklai ram boeih khaw, Sheshak manghai khaw amih hnukah a ok ni.

and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth. — And the king of Sheshach shall 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.

And thou shalt say unto them: Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink ye, and be drunken, and spew, and 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.

And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thy hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them: Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Ye 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, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city whereupon My name is called, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished; for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts.

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 thou against them all these words, and say unto them: The LORD doth roar from on high, and utter His voice from His holy habitation; He doth mightily roar because of His fold; He giveth a shout, as they that tread the 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 is come even to the end of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, He doth plead with all flesh; as for the wicked, He hath given them to the sword, saith 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.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great storm shall 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.

And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the face 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, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the dust, ye leaders of the flock; for the days of your slaughter are fully come, and I will break you in pieces, and ye shall fall like a precious vessel.

35 Boiva aka dawn ham thuhaelnah neh boiva boei ham loeihnah khaw bing ni.

And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the leaders of the flock to 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.

Hark! the cry of the shepherds, and the wailing of the leaders of the flock! For the LORD despoileth their pasture.

37 BOEIPA kah thintoek thinsa hmai ah tah ngaimongnah toitlim khaw kuemsuem van ni.

And the peaceable 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 hath forsaken His covert, as the lion; for their land is become a waste because of the fierceness of the oppressing sword, and because of His fierce anger.
