Jeremiah 34
1 Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar neh amah kah tatthai boeih, a kut dongkah a khohung diklai ram boeih neh pilnam boeih loh Jerusalem neh a khopuei boeih a vathoh thil vaengah BOEIPA taeng lamkah ol te Jeremiah taengla ha pawk.
The word which came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, —when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his force and all the kingdoms of the earth the dominion of his hand, and all the peoples were fighting against Jerusalem and against all her cities, saying:
2 “Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Judah manghai Zedekiah te paan lamtah thui pah. Amah taengah, “BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Khopuei he kai Babylon manghai kut dongah ka tloeng coeng tih hmai neh a hoeh ni.
Thus, saith Yahweh God of Israel, Go and speak unto Zedekiah king of Judah, —and say unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, Behold me! giving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire;
3 Nang khaw anih kut lamloh na loeih pawt vetih n'tuuk rhoe n'tuuk ni. A kut dongla n'tloeng vaengah na mik neh Babylon manghai kah mik te hmu uh bitni. A ka neh na ka khaw cal rhoi vetih Babylon la na pawk ni.
And, thou, shalt not escape out of his hand, For thou shalt be, taken, And into his hand, shalt thou be delivered, —And, thine own eyes, into the eyes of the king of Babylon, shall look, And his mouth, with thy mouth, shall speak And Babylon, shalt thou enter.
4 Judah manghai Zedekiah BOEIPA ol he hnatun dae. BOEIPA loh nang ham he ni a thui. cunghang ha dongah na duek mahpawh?
Nevertheless, hear the word of Yahweh, O Zedekiah, king of Judah, —Thus, saith Yahweh Concerning thee, Thou shalt not die, by the sword;
5 Ngaimong la na duek vetih hnukbuet kah manghai namah napa rhoek kah hlanhmai la na mikhmuh ah ha pawk uh ni. Nang te n'tih uh vetih, “Anunae boeipa aih,” tila nang ham rhaengsae uh ni. Ol ka thui BOEIPA olphong ni.
In peace, shalt thou die, And with the burnings made for thy fathers the former kings who were before thee, so, shall they make a burning unto thee, And, with an, Alas lord! shall they lament thee, —Because of the word, I, have spoken, Declareth Yahweh.
6 He ol boeih he tonghma Jeremiah loh Jerusalem kah Judah manghai Zedekiah taengah a thui.
Then spake Jeremiah the prophet, unto Zedekiah king of Judah all these words in Jerusalem;
7 Babylon manghai kah tatthai te Jerusalem neh Judah khopuei boeih khuikah aka sueng Lakhish neh Azekah te a vathoh thil ni. Te rhoi te Judah khopuei rhoek khuiah hmuencak khopuei la sueng van.
when, the force of the king of Babylon, was fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, —against Lachish and against Azekah, for they, remained among the cities of Judah as fortified cities.
8 Manghai Zedekiah loh sayalhnah ham aka pang Jerusalem kah pilnam boeih neh paipi a saii phoeiah BOEIPA taeng lamkah ol te Jeremiah taengla pawk.
The word which came unto Jeremiah, from Yahweh, —after that King Zedekiah had solemnised a covenant with all the people who were in Jerusalem, proclaiming unto them liberty:
9 Hlang boeih loh a sal te, hlang boeih loh a sal huta te, Hebrewpa neh Hebrunu khaw sayalh sak tih hlang loh a manuca te Judah taengah thohtat sak pawt ham panguh.
that every man should let his servant and every man his handmaid, being a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free, —so that no man should use them as slaves, to wit a Jew his brother;
10 Te dongah mangpa boeih neh pilnam boeih loh a ngai uh. A salpa boeih neh a sal huta boeih te sayalh la hlah ham paipi khuiah kun uh. Amih te thohtat sak voel pawt ham a ngai uh tih a hlah uh.
so then they hearkened—even all the princes and all the people who had entered into the covenant that every man should let his servant and every man his handmaid, go free, so as not to use them as slaves, any longer, —yea they hearkened, and let them go,
11 Tedae a hnukah mael uh tih salpa neh sal huta te koep a lat uh. Sayalh la a tueih tangtae salpa neh sal huta te a khoh rhoela a khoh uh.
howbeit they turned after that, and brought back the servants and the handmaids whom they had let go, free, and brought them into subjection as servants and as handmaids,
12 Te dongah BOEIPA ol he BOEIPA taeng lamloh Jeremiah taengla ha pawk tih koep a thui pah.
So then the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying:
13 Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Na pa rhoek he Egypt kho lamkah neh sal imkhui lamloh ka doek hnin vaengah amih taengah paipi ka saii.
Thus, saith Yahweh God of Israel, —I myself, solemnised a covenant with your fathers, in the day when I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slaves saying:
14 Te vaengah, 'Na taengla han yoih a manuca Hebrew hlang tah kum rhih a cuum vaengah hlah laeh. Kum rhuk nang taengah thotat tih, namah lamloh sayalh la hlah laeh,” a ti. Tedae na poek rhoek loh kai taengkah he hnatun uh pawt tih a hna kaeng uh pawh.
At the end of seven years, shall ye let go every man his brother, being a Hebrew, who shall sell himself unto thee and serve thee, six years, then shalt thou let him go, free, from thee, Howbeit your fathers hearkened not unto me neither inclined their ear.
15 Na mael uh khohnin vaengah tah ka mikhmuh ah a thuem la na saii uh. Hlang boeih loh a hui taengah sayalhnah doek ham kai ming neh a khue im khuikah ka mikhmuh ah paipi pataeng na saii uh.
And, though, ye, just now turned and did that which was right in mine eyes, by proclaiming liberty, every man to his neighbour, —and solemnised a covenant before me, in the house on which my Name hath been called,
16 Tedae na mael uh tih kai ming he na poeih uh. Hlang boeih loh a salpa neh a sal huta te koep na lat uh. Amih hinglu te sayalh la na hlah coeng dae namamih taengah salpa neh sal huta la om sak ham amih te na khoh uh.
yet have ye turned and profaned my Name, and brought back, every man his servant and every man his hand-maid, whom ye had let go, free, at their own desire, —and have brought them into subjection, to become your servants and handmaids.
17 Te dongah BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Nangmih khuikah hlang boeih loh a manuca ham neh a hui ham sayalhnah hoe ham akhaw kai taengkah he na hnatun moenih. Kamah loh nangmih ham sayalhnah khaw ka hoe pueng ne. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Nangmih te cunghang taengla, duektahaw taengla, khokha taengla, diklai ram tom taengah tonganah neh ngaihuetnah la kang khueh ni.
Therefore—Thus, saith Yahweh, Ye, have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every man to his brother and every man to his neighbour: Behold me! proclaiming, to you, a liberty: Declareth Yahweh unto the sword, unto the pestilence, and unto the famine, so will I make you a terror to all the kingdoms of the earth;
18 Ka paipi aka poe hlang rhoek te ka saii pueng ni. Ka mikhmuh kah a saii bangla paipi ol te a thoh puei uh moenih. Vaitoca ni panit la a saii tih a kaekvang laklo ah a pongpa uh bangla vai uh pawh. Paipi aka poe te ngawn tah ka saii pueng ni.
and will give the men who are transgressing my covenant, in that they have not confirmed the words of the covenant, which they solemnised, before me, when they cut the calf, in twain, and passed between the parts thereof;
19 Judah mangpa rhoek neh Jerusalem mangpa tildit rhoek khaw, khosoih rhoek neh khohmuen kah pilnam boeih khaw vaitoca kah kaekvang laklo ah pongpa uh.
even the princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs and the priests, and all the people of the land, —who passed between the parts of the calf,
20 Te dongah amih te a thunkha kut dongah khaw, amih kah hinglu aka toem kah kut dongah khaw ka tloeng ni. Te vaengah a rhok te vaan kah vaa ham neh diklai rhamsa ham caak la poeh ni.
yea I will give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them who are seeking their life, —and their dead bodies shall become food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth.
21 Judah manghai Zedekiah neh a mangpa rhoek te khaw a thunkha kut dongah, a hinglu aka toem kut dongla, nangmih taeng lamloh aka nong Babylon manghai kah tatthai kut dongla ka paek ni.
Zedekiah king of Judah also with his princes, will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them who are seeking their life, —even into the hand of the force of the king of Babylon, who are going up from you.
22 Kai loh BOEIPA kah olphong ni kang uen ne. Te dongah amih te he khopuei la kam mael puei vetih a vathoh thil uh ni. Khopuei he a buem vetih hmai neh a hoeh uh vaengah Judah khopuei rhoek te khopong la ka khueh vetih khosa om mahpawh.
Behold me! giving command, Declareth Yahweh, and I will bring them back unto this city, and they will fight against it and capture it, and consume it with fire, —and, the cities of Judah, will I make too desolate to have an inhabitant.
