Jeremiah 43

1 A taengah a tueih pah a BOEIPA Pathen kah ol cungkuem te pilnam pum taengah a thui. Te te Jeremiah loh a khah vaengah a BOEIPA Pathen loh amih ham a paek ol te cung.

When Jeremiah had finished speaking to all the people all the words of the LORD their God, with which the LORD their God had sent him to them, even all these words,

2 Te vaengah Hoshaiah capa Azariah neh Kareah capa Johanan neh thinlen hlang boeih loh Jeremiah te, “A honghi ni na thui, Egypt la caeh pawt ham neh bakuep pahoi pawt ham aka thui la mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA loh nang n'tueih moenih.

then Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men spoke, saying to Jeremiah, “You speak falsely. The LORD our God has not sent you to say, ‘You shall not go into Egypt to live there;’

3 Tedae kaimih he Khalden kut ah paek ham, kaimih duek sak ham neh kaimih he Babylon ah poelyoe ham ni kaimih voelah Neriah capa Barukh loh nang te m'vueh,” a ti nauh.

but Baruch the son of Neriah has turned you against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death or carry us away captive to Babylon.”

4 Judah khohmuen kah khosak ham dongah Kareah capa Johanan neh caem mangpa boeih neh pilnam pum loh BOEIPA ol te hnatun uh pawh.

So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, didn’t obey the LORD’s voice, to dwell in the land of Judah.

5 Kareah capa Johanan neh caem mangpa boeih loh, Judah khohmuen ah bakuep sak ham a heh nah namtom boeih lamloh aka mael Judah kah a meet te boeih a loh.

But Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces took all the remnant of Judah, who had returned from all the nations where they had been driven, to live in the land of Judah—

6 Tongpa, huta neh camoe, manghai canu rhoek neh Shaphan koca Ahikam capa Gedaliah neh imtawt boeiping Nebuzaradan loh a paih hinglu boeih khaw, tonghma Jeremiah neh Neriah capa Barukh te a khuen.

the men, the women, the children, the king’s daughters, and every person who Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan; and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah.

7 Te dongah Egypt khohmuen te a pha uh dae BOEIPA ol te a hnatun uh pawt dongah Tahpanhes la pawk uh.

They came into the land of Egypt, for they didn’t obey the LORD’s voice; and they came to Tahpanhes.

8 Tahpanhes ah Jeremiah taengla BOEIPA ol koep ha pawk tih,

Then the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

9 “Na kut dongah lungto len lo lamtah Judah hlang rhoek kah mikhmuh ah Tahpanhes kah Pharaoh im thohka, taptlang laiting ah up.

“Take great stones in your hand and hide them in mortar in the brick work which is at the entry of Pharaoh’s house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah.

10 Te phoeiah amih te thui pah. Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Ka sal Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar te ka tueih coeng dae ka loh pueng ni. He lungto ka up he anih kah ngolkhoel ka hol thil vetih a sokah amah po, amah po te a bueng thil ni.

Tell them, the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne on these stones that I have hidden; and he will spread his royal pavilion over them.

11 Egypt khohmuen la a pawk, a pawk vaengah dueknah ham tueng te dueknah neh, tamna ham tueng te tamna la, cunghang dongkah ham tueng te cunghang neh a ngawn ni.

He will come, and will strike the land of Egypt; such as are for death will be put to death, and such as are for captivity to captivity, and such as are for the sword to the sword.

12 Egypt pathen im te hmai ka hlup phoeiah a hoeh vetih amih te a sol ni. Boiva aka dawn loh a himbai neh a kulup bangla Egypt khohmuen neh kulup uh vetih te lamloh ngaimong la khoe uh ni.

I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt. He will burn them, and carry them away captive. He will array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd puts on his garment; and he will go out from there in peace.

13 Egypt kho kah Bethshemesh kaam te a phaek pah vetih Egypt pathen im te hmai neh a hoeh ni,” a ti nah.

He will also break the pillars of Beth Shemesh that is in the land of Egypt; and he will burn the houses of the gods of Egypt with fire.’”
