Jeremiah 27
1 Judah manghai Josiah capa Jehoiakim kah ram a tongcuek vaengah he ol he BOEIPA taeng lamloh Jeremiah taengla ha pawk.
In the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, came this word to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
2 BOEIPA loh kai taengah he ni a thui. “Namah ham kuelrhui neh hnokohcung te saii lamtah na rhawn ah tloeng laeh.
"Thus says YHWH to me: Make bonds and bars, and put them on your neck;
3 Te te Edom manghai taengah, Moab manghai taengah, Ammon koca rhoek kah manghai taengah, Tyre manghai taengah, Sidon manghai taeng neh Jerusalem la aka pawk puencawn kut lamloh, Judah manghai Zedekiah taengah pat laeh.
and send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the people of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah;
4 Te vaengah a boei rhoek yueng la amih te uen pah lamtah, 'Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh a thui he na boei rhoek taengah thui pah,’ ti nah.
and give them a command to their masters, saying, 'Thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel, You shall tell your masters:
5 Kai loh diklai hlang neh diklai hman kah rhamsa he ka saii coeng. Ka thadueng tanglue neh, ka ban neh ka thueng tih ka mik neh dueng ka ti taengah te ka paek.
"I have made the earth, the men and the animals that are on the surface of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I give it to whom it seems right to me.
6 He kah Khohmuen boeih he ka sal Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar kut ah ka paek pawn ni. Kohong kah mulhing pataeng khaw anih taengah thohtat ham a taengah ka paek ni.
Now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the animals of the field also have I given him to serve him.
7 Anih te namtom boeih neh a ca long khaw, a ca kah ca long khaw, a khohmuen la a pawk tue hil thotat uh ni. Amah long khaw a taengah namtom cungkuem neh manghai tanglue rhoek te a thohtat sak van ni.
All the nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the time of his own land come: and then many nations and great kings shall make him their bondservant.
8 Tedae Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar amah taengah aka thotat pawh namtom neh ram khaw om vetih Babylon manghai kah hnamkun hmuiah a rhawn duen mahpawh. A kut te amih ka cung sak duela namtom te cunghang neh, khokha neh, duektahaw neh ka cawh ni. Te tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
It shall happen, that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, says YHWH, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
9 Te dongah nangmih loh na tonghma taengkah khaw, na bihma taengah khaw, na mueimang te khaw, na kutyaekso taengah khaw, na mikhoithae te khaw hnatun uh boeh. Amih loh nangmih taengah tah Babylon manghai taengah na thotat uh mahpawh,’ a ti uh tih a thui uh.
But as for you, do not listen to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreams, nor to your soothsayers, nor to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, 'You shall not serve the king of Babylon':
10 Amih te nangmih taengah a honghi la tonghma uh dae nangmih te na khohmuen dong lamloh aka lakhla sak ham rhung ni. Te dongah nangmih te kang heh vetih na milh uh ni.
for they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land, and that I should drive you out, and you should perish.
11 Tedae namtom loh Babylon manghai kah hnamkun hmuiah a rhawn a duen vetih anih taengah thotat ni. Te phoeiah amah khohmuen ah ka duem sak vetih a tawn vetih kho a sak ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
But the nation that shall bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, that nation will I let remain in their own land, says YHWH; and they shall till it, and dwell in it."'"
12 He ol cungkuem vanbangla Judah manghai Zedekiah taengah ka thui coeng. Babylon manghai kah hnamkun hmuiah na rhawn te duen uh. Amah taengah thotat uh lamtah a pilnam khaw hing saeh,’ ti nah.
I spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, "Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
13 Balae tih namah neh na pilnam te cunghang neh, khokha neh, duektahaw neh na duek eh. BOEIPA loh namtom taengah a thui bangla Babylon manghai taengah na thotat het mahpawt nim?
Why will you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as YHWH has spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
14 Nangmih taengah, “Babylon manghai taengah na thotat mahpawh,” a ti tih aka thui tonghma ol te hnatun boeh. Amih te a honghi lam ni nangmih taengah a tonghma uh.
Do not listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, 'You shall not serve the king of Babylon'; for they prophesy a lie to you.
15 He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Amih te kan tueih ngawn moenih. Tedae nangmih te kai kah a heh tangloeng ham ni kai ming neh a honghi la a tonghma uh. Te dongah namamih neh nangmih taengkah aka tonghma tonghma rhoek khaw na milh uh ni.
'For I have not sent them,' says YHWH, 'but they prophesy falsely in my name; that I may drive you out, and that you may perish, you, and the prophets who prophesy to you.'"
16 Ka thui he khosoih rhoek taeng neh pilnam boeih taengah thui pah, he tah BOEIPA long ni a thui. Nangmih taengah aka tonghma na tonghma rhoek ol te hnatun boeh. BOEIPA im kah hnopai tah Babylon lamloh tahae ah pahoi ha mael ke,’ a ti uh dae amih te a honghi lam ni nangmih taengah a tonghma uh.
Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, "Thus says YHWH: 'Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, Look, the vessels of YHWH's house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon; for they prophesy a lie to you.
17 Amih ol te hnatun boeh, Babylon manghai taengah thotat uh lamtah hing uh palueng. Balae tih he khopuei loh imrhong la a om eh?
Do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: why should this city become a desolation?'
18 Amih te a tonghma uh atah, amih taengah BOEIPA ol a om atah. Caempuei BOEIPA te hloep laeh saeh. BOEIPA im neh Judah manghai im kah, Jerusalem kah aka sueng hnopai tah Babylon la cet boel saeh.
But if they are prophets and if the word of YHWH is with them, let them now make intercession with YHWH of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of YHWH, and in the house of the king of Judah and at Jerusalem may not go to Babylon.
19 Te dongah caempuei BOEIPA loh tung kawng neh tuitunli kawng khaw, tungkho kawng neh he khopuei ah a caknoi hnopai ngancawn kawng khaw a thui.
For thus says YHWH of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,
20 Te rhoek te Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh a khuen moenih. Judah manghai Jehoiakim capa Jekoniah, Judah hlangcoelh boeih neh Jerusalem rhoek ni Jerusalem lamloh Babylon la a poelyoe.
which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
21 Te dongah Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh BOEIPA im a caknoi hnopai neh Judah manghai im neh Jerusalem kawng te a thui.
yes, thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of YHWH, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem:
22 Babylon la a khuen uh vetih amih ham kamah loh thoelh khohnin duela pahoi om uh ni. Tedae BOEIPA kah olphong neh amih te ka caeh puei vetih amih te he hmuen la ka mael sak ni.
'They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be, until the day that I visit them,' says YHWH; 'then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.'"
