Jeremiah 28
1 Judah manghai Zedekiah kah ram a tongcuek, amah kum vaengkah a kum la, kum li hla nga dongah Gibeon lamkah tonghma Azzur capa Hananiah loh BOEIPA im kah khosoih rhoek neh pilnam pum kah mikhmuh ah kai m'voek tih a thui.
And it happened in that year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah, the son of Azur, the prophet from Gibeon, spoke to me, in the house of the Lord, in the sight of the priests and all the people, saying:
2 He tah Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA long ni a thui, “Babylon manghai hnamkun te ka bawt pah ni.
“Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
3 Amah kum kah khohnin ah BOEIPA im kah hnopai boeih te he hmuen la ka mael puei ni. Te te Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh he hmuen lamkah a loh tih Babylon la khuen mai cakhaw.
There are still two years of days, and then I will cause to be carried back to this place all the vessels of the house of the Lord that Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, took from this place and carried away to Babylon.
4 Judah manghai Jehoiakim capa Jekoniah neh Babylon la aka pawk Judah hlangsol boeih te he hmuen la ka mael puei ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Babylon manghai kah hnamkun te ka bawt bitni,” a ti.
And I will return to this place: Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, and all those taken captive from Judah, who were brought into Babylon, says the Lord. For I will crush the yoke of the king of Babylon.”
5 Te dongah BOEIPA im kah aka pai khosoih rhoek mikhmuh neh pilnam boeih kah mikhmuh ah tonghma Jeremiah loh tonghma Hananiah te a thui pah.
And Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Hananiah the prophet, before the eyes of the priests and before the eyes of all the people who were standing in the house of the Lord.
6 Te vaengah tonghma Jeremiah loh, “Amen, BOEIPA loh saii pai saeh. Na ol te BOEIPA loh han thoh saeh. BOEIPA im kah hnopai neh vangsawn boeih te Babylon lamloh he hmuen la ha mael ham ni na tonghma coeng.
And Jeremiah the prophet said: “Amen, may the Lord accomplish this; may the Lord act upon your words, which you have prophesied, so that the vessels may be carried back to the house of the Lord, and so that all those taken captive may return from Babylon to this place.
7 Tedae namah hna neh pilnam pum kah hna dongah ka thui ol he hnatun laeh.
Yet truly, listen to this word, which I am speaking to your ears and to the ears of all the people.
8 Khosuen lamloh kai mikhmuh neh nang mikhmuh ah tonghma rhoek te ana om coeng. Diklai tom neh ram tanglue taengah caemtloek kawng neh, yoethae kawng neh duektahaw kawng neh tonghma uh.
The prophets, who were before me and before you, from the beginning, have prophesied over many lands and over great kingdoms, about war, and about affliction, and about famine.
9 Ngaimongnah kawng neh aka tonghma, tonghma loh tonghma ol ha thoeng vaengah BOEIPA loh oltak la a tueih tonghma te a ming bitni,” a ti nah.
The prophet who has predicted peace, if his word will occur, then the prophet will be known as one whom the Lord has sent in truth.”
10 Te phoeiah tonghma Hananiah loh tonghma Jeremiah rhawn dong lamkah hnokohcung te a loh tih a khaem pah.
And Hananiah the prophet took the chain from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, and he broke it.
11 Hananiah loh Pilnam boeih mikhmuh ah a thui tih, “He ni BOEIPA loh a thui. He tlam ni Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar kah hnamkun he namtom boeih rhawn dong lamloh a kum khohnin ah koep ka khaem eh,” a ti. Te phoeiah tonghma Jeremiah tah amah longpuei ah cet.
And Hananiah spoke in the sight of all the people, saying: “Thus says the Lord: So shall I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, after two years of days, from the neck of all the people.”
12 Tonghma Hananiah loh tonghma Jeremiah rhawn dong lamkah hnokohcung te a khaem hnukah BOEIPA ol te Jeremiah taengla ha pawk.
And Jeremiah the prophet went his own way. And after Hananiah the prophet had broken the chain from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
13 “Cet lamtah Hananiah te thui pah. BOEIPA loh he a thui, 'Thing hnokohcung te na khaem coeng dae thi hnokohcung te yueng la na saii ni, ' a ti,” ti nah.
“Go, and you shall say to Hananiah: Thus says the Lord: You have broken chains of wood, and so you will make for them chains of iron.
14 Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar taengah thohtat ham he namtom boeih kah rhawn dongah thi hnamkun ka khueh vetih anih taengah thotat uh ni. Khohmuen mulhing pataeng anih taengla ka paek ni.
For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have placed a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, so that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon. And they shall serve him. Moreover, I have given to him even the beasts of the earth.”
15 Te phoeiah tonghma Jeremiah loh tonghma Hananiah te, “Hananiah hnatun laeh, nang te BOEIPA loh n'tueih moenih. Tedae nang loh pilnam he a honghi dongah na pangtung sak.
And Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah the prophet: “Listen, Hananiah! The Lord has not sent you, and so you have caused this people to trust in a lie.
16 Te dongah BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Nang te diklai mikhmuh dong lamloh kang khoe coeng ne. BOEIPA taengah koeknah na thui dongah kum khat dongah na duek ni,” a ti nah.
For this reason, thus says the Lord: Behold, I will send you away from the face of the earth. This year, you shall die. For you have spoken against the Lord.”
17 Te kum kah a hla rhih dongah tonghma Hananiah te duek.
And Hananiah the prophet died in that year, in the seventh month.
