Jeremiah 26

1 Judah manghai Josiah capa Jehoiakim a manghai cuek vaengah he ol he BOEIPA taeng lamloh thui hamla ha pawk.

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word from Jehovah came, saying,

2 BOEIPA loh, “BOEIPA im kah vongup ah pai lamtah BOEIPA im ah bawk hamla aka pawk Judah khopuei boeih te thui pah. Amih taengah thui ham nang kang uen ol boeih tah ol te yuek boeh.

Thus says Jehovah: Stand in the court of Jehovah's house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in Jehovah's house, all the words that I command thee to speak to them, diminish not a word.

3 A hnatun uh tih hlang loh a boethae longpuei lamloh mael uh khaming. Te daengah ni a khoboe thaenah hmai ah boethae neh amih saii ham ka moeh te ko ka hlawt eh.

It may be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may relent of the evil which I purpose to do to them because of the evil of their doings.

4 BOEIPA loh a thui he amih taengah thui pah. Nangmih mikhmuh ah kang khueh ka olkhueng dongah pongpa ham kai ol he na hnatun pawt atah,

And thou shall say to them, Thus says Jehovah: If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,

5 Ka sal rhoek kah ol te hnatun sak ham kai loh nangmih taengah tonghma te kan tueih. Ka thoh neh kan tueih akhaw na yaak uh moenih.

to hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send to you, even rising up early and sending them, but ye have not hearkened,

6 Te dongah he im he Shiloh bangla ka khueh vetih he khopuei rhoe he diklai namtom boeih taengah rhunkhuennah la ka khueh ni,” a ti.

then I will make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.

7 Jeremiah loh BOEIPA im ah he ol a thui te khosoih rhoek, tonghma rhoek neh pilnam pum loh a yaak.

And the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Jehovah.

8 Pilnam boeih taengah thui ham BOEIPA loh a uen boeih thui ham khaw Jeremiah loh a bawt sak ham a om coeng. Te vaengah anih te khosoih rhoek, tonghma rhoek neh pilnam boeih loh a tuuk uh tih, “Duek khaw duek laeh.

And it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that Jehovah had commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people laid hold on him, saying, Thou shall surely die.

9 Balae tih BOEIPA ming neh na tonghma vaengah, “He im he Shiloh bangla om ni, he khopuei khaw khosa a om pawt la a khah ni, ' na ti,” a ti nauh. Te vaengah pilnam boeih loh Jeremiah te BOEIPA im ah a tingtun thiluh.

Why have thou prophesied in the name of Jehovah, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate, without inhabitant? And all the people were gathered to Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah.

10 Te olka te Judah mangpa rhoek loh a yaak uh tih BOEIPA im kah manghai im lamloh cet uh. Te phoeiah BOEIPA vongka thai thohka ah ngol uh.

And when the rulers of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king's house to the house of Jehovah, and they sat in the entry of the new gate of Jehovah's house.

11 Te phoeiah khosoih rhoek neh tonghma rhoek loh mangpa rhoek neh pilnam boeih taengah a thui uh tih, “Na hna neh na yaak uh bangla he khopuei a tonghma thil dongah he hlang ham laitloeknah tah dueknah ni aka om coeng,” a ti uh.

Then the priests and the prophets spoke to the rulers and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy of death, for he has prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.

12 Tedae Jeremiah loh mangpa boeih taeng neh pilnam boeih taengah a thui pah tih, “He im neh he khopuei he tonghma thil ham ni BOEIPA loh kai tueih. Tekah ol cungkuem te na yaak uh coeng.

Then Jeremiah spoke to all the rulers and to all the people, saying, Jehovah sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard.

13 Na longpuei neh na khoboe te tlaih uh laeh lamtah BOEIPA na Pathen ol te hnatun uh. Te daengah ni nangmih taengah a thui bangla yoethae kawng te BOEIPA loh ko a hlawt eh.

Now therefore amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of Jehovah your God, and Jehovah will relent of the evil that he has pronounced against you.

14 Kai aih he, nangmih kut dongkah kai aih he. Then na ti bangla, nangmih mik ah thuem na ti bangla kai taengah saii uh.

But as for me, behold, I am in your hand. Do with me as is good and right in your eyes.

15 Tedae na ming khaw na ming uh coeng. Kai he nan duek sak uh cakhaw ommongsitoe thii te namamih long ni namamih so neh he khopuei so neh a khuikah khosa rhoek soah na khueh uh eh. He ol cungkuem he nangmih hna dongah thui ham ni BOEIPA loh kai he nangmih taengah oltak la n'tueih,” a ti nah.

Only know ye for certain that, if ye put me to death, ye will bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants of it. For of a truth Jehovah has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.

16 Te vaengah mangpa rhoek neh pilnam boeih loh khosoih rhoek taeng neh tonghma taengah, “Dueknah neh laitloeknah tah he kah hlang ham moenih, mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA ming neh mamih ham ni a thui,” a ti uh.

Then the rulers and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets. This man is not worthy of death, for he has spoken to us in the name of Jehovah our God.

17 Khohmuen patong rhoek khui lamkah hlang rhoek te thoo uh tih pilnam hlangping boeih te a voek uh.

Then certain of the elders of the land rose up, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,

18 “Maikah, Judah manghai Hezekiah tue vaengah tonghma la aka om Morasthite Maikah loh, Judah pilnam boeih taengah a thui pah tih, 'Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui, Zion te lohma bangla a yoe ni. Jerusalem te lairhok la poeh vetih a im tlang te hmuensang duup la poeh ni,’ a ti.

Micah the Morashtite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus says Jehovah of hosts: Zion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.

19 Anih te Judah manghai Hezekiah neh Judah pum loh na duek rhoe na duek sak uh nama? BOEIPA te a rhih moenih a? BOEIPA maelhmai te a sak pah daengah ni amih taengah a thui yoethae kawng te BOEIPA loh ko a hlawt. Tedae boethae he mamih loh mamih kah hinglu soah ni muep n'saii uh coeng.

Did Hezekiah king of Judah, and all Judah put him to death? Did he not fear Jehovah, and entreat the favor of Jehovah. And Jehovah relented of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we commit great evil against our own souls.

20 Hlang he Kiriathjearim lamloh Shemaiah capa Uriah khaw BOEIPA ming neh tonghma la om van. Te vaengah he khopuei neh he khohmuen taengah khaw Jeremiah ol bang boeih lam ni a tonghma thil coeng,” a ti nah.

And there was also a man who prophesied in the name of Jehovah, Uriah the son of Shemaiah of Kiriath-jearim. And he prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah.

21 Manghai Jehoiakim neh a hlangrhalh boeih long khaw, mangpa boeih long khaw anih ol te a yaak. Te dongah anih te duek sak ham manghai loh a tlap. Tedae Uriah loh a yaak vaengah a rhih. Te dongah yong tih Egypt la pawk.

And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the rulers, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death, but when Uriah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt.

22 Tedae manghai Jehoiakim loh Egypt hlang Akbor capa Elnathan neh amah taengkah hlang rhoek te Egypt la a thueih.

And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him, into Egypt,

23 Te dongah Uriah te Egypt lamloh a khuen uh tih Jehoiakim manghai taengla a thak uh. Te phoeiah anih te cunghang neh a ngawn tih a rhok te pilnam koca kah phuel ah a voeih.

and they fetched forth Uriah out of Egypt, and brought him to Jehoiakim the king, who killed him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.

24 Tedae Shaphan capa Ahikam kut he Jeremiah taengah om dae, anih duek sak ham pilnam kut dongah pae pawh.

But the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
