< Jeremiah 36 >
1 Judah manghai Josiah capa Jehoiakim te a kum li dongah a om vaengah he ol he BOEIPA taeng lamloh Jeremiah taengla ha pawk.
And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying:
2 “Cabu cayol te namah ham lo lamtah Josiah tue vaengkah nang taengah ka thui khohnin lamloh tahae khohnin duela nang taengah Israel kawng, Judah kawng neh namtom boeih kah a kawng ka thui ol boeih te daek thil.
'Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day.
3 Amih soah saii ham ka moeh yoethae cungkuem te Judah imkhui loh a yaak uh khaming. Te daengah ni hlang he a longpuei thae lamloh mael uh vetih amih kathaesainah neh a tholhnah te khodawk ka ngai eh?,” a ti.
It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way, and I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.'
4 Te dongah Jeremiah loh Neriah capa Barukh te a khue tih Jeremiah ka dongkah BOEIPA ol boeih neh cabu cayol dongah anih taengah a thui pah te Barukh loh a daek.
Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which He had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.
5 Te vaengah Jeremiah loh Barukh te a uen tih, “Kai he n'khaih coeng tih BOEIPA im la ka mop ham ka coeng moenih.
And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying: 'I am detained, I cannot go into the house of the LORD;
6 Te dongah namah kun lamtah ka ka lamkah BOEIPA ol na daek te cayol dong lamloh yaehnah hnin ah BOEIPA im kah pilnam hna ah hoe pah. A khopuei lamkah aka pawk Judah pum kah a hna ah khaw hoe pah.
therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the LORD in the ears of the people in the LORD'S house upon a fast-day; and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.
7 Amih kah lungmacil loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a hal tih hlang he a longpuei thae lamloh mael uh khaming. BOEIPA loh he pilnam he thintoek neh kosi a phoei thil khungdaeng coeng,” a ti nah.
It may be they will present their supplication before the LORD, and will return every one from his evil way; for great is the anger and the fury that the LORD hath pronounced against this people.'
8 Tonghma Jeremiah loh a uen bangla Neriah capa Barukh loh boeih a saii. Cabu lamkah BOEIPA ol te BOEIPA im ah a hoe.
And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of the LORD in the LORD'S house.
9 Judah manghai Josiah capa Jehoiakim te a kum nga a hla ko dongah a om vaengah Jerusalem kah pilnam boeih neh Judah khopuei lamloh Jerusalem la aka pawk pilnam boeih te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah yaehnah khueh ham a hoe uh.
Now it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the LORD, all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem.
10 Te vaengah BOEIPA im thai vongka kah thohka soah vangca kah cadaek Shaphan capa Gemariah imkhan om. Te lamloh cabu dongkah Jeremiah ol te Barukh loh BOEIPA im kah pilnam tom kah a hna ah a hoe pah.
Then did Baruch read in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the LORD, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD'S house, in the ears of all the people.
11 Te vaengah cabu dongkah BOEIPA ol boeih te Shaphan koca Gemariah capa Mikhaiah loh a yaak.
And when Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of the LORD,
12 Te dongah manghai im kah cadaek imkhan la suntla thuk. Te vaengah mangpa boeih, cadaek Elishama, Shemaiah capa Delaiah, Akbor capa Elnathan, Shaphan capa Gemariah, Hananiah capa Zedekiah neh mangpa boeih khaw tarha ana ngol uh.
he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's chamber; and, lo, all the princes sat there, even Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.
13 Barukh loh pilnam hna ah cabu a tae vaengah a yaak ol boeih te Mikhaiah loh amih taengah a puen pah.
Then Micaiah declared unto them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.
14 Te vaengah mangpa boeih loh Nethaniah capa Jehudi, Shelemiah capa, Kushi capa te Barukh taengah a tueih uh tih, “Pilnam hna ah na tae cayol te na kut dongah hang khuen lamtah ha lo,” a ti nah. Te dongah Neriah capa Barukh loh cayol te a kut dongah a pom tih amih taengla cet.
Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying: 'Take in thy hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come.' So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came unto them.
15 Te vaengah anih te, “Ngol lamtah kaimih hna ah tae laeh,” a ti nauh. Te dongah Barukh loh amih hna ah a tae pah.
And they said unto him: 'Sit down now, and read it in our ears.' So Baruch read it in their ears.
16 Ol te boeih a yaak uh vaengah hlang he a hui taengah khaw birhih uh tih Barukh te, “He ol boeih he manghai taengla ka puen rhoe ka puen uh ham om,” a ti nauh.
Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said unto Baruch: 'We will surely tell the king of all these words.'
17 Barukh te khaw a dawt uh tih, “Kaimih taengah thui laeh, a ka lamkah ol cungkuem he metlam na daek,” a ti nauh.
And they asked Baruch, saying: 'Tell us now: How didst thou write all these words at his mouth?'
18 Barukh loh amih te, “He ol cungkuem he a ka lamloh kai taengah a thui vaengah cabu dongah catui neh ka daek,” a ti nah.
Then Baruch answered them: 'He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.'
19 Mangpa rhoek loh Barukh te, “Namah khaw Jeremiah khaw cet rhoi lamtah thuh uh rhoi laeh. Mela na om rhoi khaw hlang loh ming boel saeh,” a ti nauh.
Then said the princes unto Baruch: 'Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah, and let no man know where ye are.'
20 Te phoeiah vongup kah manghai taengla cet uh tih cayol te cadaek Elishama kah imkhan ah a khueh uh. Olka boeih te manghai kah a hna dongla a puen pa uh.
And they went in to the king into the court; but they had deposited the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe; and they told all the words in the ears of the king.
21 Te vaengah cayol aka lo hamla manghai loh Jehudi te a tueih. Cadaek Elishama imkhan lamloh hang khuen phoeiah tah Jehudi loh manghai kah a hna neh manghai taengah aka pai mangpa boeih kah a hna ah a tae pah.
So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll; and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes that stood beside the king.
22 Manghai te a hla ko dongah tah sikca im ah kho a sak tih a hmai kah tapca te hmai a toih.
Now the king was sitting in the winter-house in the ninth month; and the brazier was burning before him.
23 Jehudi loh thohkhaih pathum pali a tae vaengah cadae paihat neh a hlueng tih tapca kah hmai khuila a voeih. Te dongah cayol khaw tapca dongkah hmai khuiah a pum la tlum van.
And it came to pass, when Jehudi had read three or four columns, that he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.
24 Tedae manghai neh te ol cungkuem aka ya a sal boeih khaw birhih uh pawt tih a himbai khaw phen uh pawh.
Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.
25 Elnathan, Delaiah neh Gemariah long pataeng cayol te hoeh pawt ham manghai taengah a hloep uh dae amih ol te hnatun pawh.
Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had entreated the king not to burn the roll; but he would not hear them.
26 Manghai loh manghai capa Jerahmeel neh Azriel capa Seraiah, Abdeel capa Shelemiah te a uen tih cadaek Barukh neh tonghma Jeremiah te a tuuk sak. Tedae BOEIPA loh amih rhoi te a thuh.
And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king's son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but the LORD hid them.
27 Jeremiah ka dongkah ol lamloh Barukh kah a daek cayol te manghai loh a hoeh phoeiah khaw BOEIPA ol he Jeremiah taengla koep ha pawk.
Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying:
28 Mael lamtah namah ham cayol a tloe lo laeh. Lamhma kah ol boeih te te dongah daek laeh. Judah manghai Jehoiakim loh a hoeh cayol lamhma dongkah ol te boeih om sak.
'Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.
29 Te phoeiah Judah manghai Jehoiakim te thui pah. BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. 'Babylon manghai te ha pawk rhoe ha pawk vetih he khohmuen he a phae ni, a khuikah hlang neh rhamsa he a kangkuen sak ni,’ a ti te a khuiah na daek thuek na ti dongah cayol te na hoeh.
And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah thou shalt say: Thus saith the LORD: Thou hast burned this roll, saying: Why hast thou written therein, saying: The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?
30 BOEIPA loh Judah manghai Jehoiakim kawng te a thui tangloeng ngawn coeng. David kah ngolkhoel dongah aka ngol te a taengah om mahpawh. A rhok te khothaih kholing neh khoyin vuelkoi dongah ni a voeih vetih a om eh.
Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David; and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
31 Amah neh a tiingan rhoek, a sal rhoek te khaw ka cawh ni. Amih kathaesainah te khaw amih so neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek soah, Judah hlang soah ka thoeng sak ni. Yoethae cungkuem he amih ka phoei thil dae a hnatun uh moenih,” a ti nah.
And I will visit upon him and his seed and his servants their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they hearkened not.'
32 Te dongah Jeremiah loh cayol a tloe te a loh tih cadaek Neriah capa Barukh te a paek. Te phoeiah Judah manghai Jehoiakim loh hmai neh a hoeh cabu dongkah aka om Jeremiah ka lamkah ol boeih te a khuiah a daek. Ol te amah te khaw amah phek la muep koep a tom.
Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and there were added besides unto them many like words.
