Jeremiah 27
1 Judah lengpa Josiah chapa, Zedekiah lengchan kipattil in, Pakaiya kon in Jeremiah henga thu ahunglhunge.
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:
2 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, ‘Nangman namkol kisem inlang, apohna ding savun khao jong kisem inlang, anngong’a pon.
“Thus says the Lord to me: Make bands and chains for yourself. And you shall place them on your neck.
3 Chutengle, nangman Jerusalem a Zedekiah lengpa kimupi dinga hungji leng palai ho khut a, hiche Pakai thusei hohi, Edom lengpa, Moah lengpa, Ammon lengpa, Tyre leh Sidon lengte kom’a thot in.
And you shall send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the sons of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who came to Jerusalem, to Zedekiah, the king of Judah.
4 Hiche thuhi amaho chu penlang, amahon a lengte hou seipih uhen. Hatchungnung Pakaiyin hitin aseiye.
And you shall instruct them to say to their masters: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: You shall say these things to your masters:
5 Kathaneina jouse leh kaban thahat pan’a, keiman leiset leh asunga mihem jouse chuleh ganhing jouse abon’a kasem ahi. Hijeh’a chu keiman kicheng se hi, koi hijongle kanop nop kapeh jeng ahi.
I made the earth, and the men and beasts which are upon the face of the earth, by my great strength and by my outstretched arm. And I have given it to whomever it was pleasing in my eyes.
6 Tua hi, keiman hiche gam pumpi hi, kasohpa Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar khut a kapeh ding, chule gamlah’a gamsa ho jong, ama kin bol’a pang dinga kapeh ahitai.
And now, therefore, I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant. Moreover, I have given to him also the beasts of the field, so that they may serve him.
7 Hitia chu, namtin vaipin ama ajendiu, achapa jong chule atupa khang geiya jopng akin bol’a pang ding ahiuve. Chujoutengle namtin vaipi thahattah ho leh leng lentah hon, ama leh agamsung chu gal’a ajouva, achunguva vai ahomdiu ahi.
And all the nations will serve him, and his son, and his son’s son. Many nations and great kings will serve him, until the time arrives for him and his land.
8 Hijeh’a chu, nangho Babylon lengpa khut’a nakipehlut diu, ama kin bol’a napandiu ahi. Ijemtia koi nam ham khattouvin, Babylon lengpa soh’a panding da aumle, amaho chu talent kamatsah ding ahi. Keiman achung'uva gal kalhut khum ding, kel kalhah sah ding chule natna hise kalan sah ding ahi. Amaho chu Babylon lengpan asuhmang hel kahseuva, talen kamatsah ding ahiuve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
But the nation or kingdom that will not serve Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and whoever will not bend his neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, I will visit upon that nation with the sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, says the Lord, until I consume them by his hand.
9 Hijeh chun themgao lhemho thusei tahsan hih un, chuleh mang Lethem ho, phunsan thenho leh doi themho thusei ngaidauvin. Ajeh chu amahon, Babylon lengpan nachunguva ima boltheiponte pou, atiuve.
Therefore, you should not choose to listen to your own prophets, and diviners, and dreamers, and soothsayers, and sorcerers, who say to you: ‘You shall not serve the king of Babylon.’
10 Amaho chu apumpiuva joule nal’a thusei ngen ahiuvin, amaho thusei jal a nangho nagamsung uva kon’a delmang’a naumlo teidiu ahi. Hitia chu, keiman nangho gamla tah’a kadel mang diu, chuche mun’a chu nathi dendiu ahi.
For they prophesy lies to you, so that they may cause you to be far from your own country, and may cast you out, and may cause you to perish.
11 Amavang, koi nam hijongle Babylon lengpan namkol noiya angong hindo jenga, kipelut ho vang chu, agamsung dalha louva umden diu, lou akiboluva, chengden diu ahiuve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
Furthermore, the nation which will bend its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and which will serve him, I will permit them to remain in their own land, says the Lord. And they will cultivate it, and they will live in it.”
12 Chuin, keiman Judah lengpa Hezekiah henga chun, Pakai thusei hijat pihi, asei tobang bang in kaga sei kitin, hitin kati. “Nahin nadin, Babylon lengpa namkol noiya nangong do cheh uvin, chule ama leh amite kin bol in panguvin.
And I spoke to Zedekiah, the king of Judah, according to all these words, saying: “Subject your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and you will live.
13 Ibol’a nang nahin namite ahiuvin, Pakaiyin aphondohsa Babylon lengpa kinbol nomlou mite chunga chuding – chemjam gilkel, chule natna hise hoa chu thidinga kigo jeng nahiu hitam?
Why should you suffer death, you and your people, by the sword, and famine, and pestilence, just as the Lord has spoken against any nation that refuses to serve the king of Babylon?
14 Themgao lhemho thusei tahsan hih un. Amahon Babylon lengpa kin boldauvin, aman ima nalothei pouvinte, atiu chu ngaidauvin. Amaho chu joule nal’a gaothu sei ngan ahiuve.
Do not choose to listen to the words of the prophets, saying to you: ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon.’ For they are speaking a lie to you.
15 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Keiman hiche themgao ho hi kasol khapoi. Amahon kamin in jouthu jeng agaovun, hijeh’achu keiman hiche gamsunga kon’a hi, nangho nabonuva kadelmang ding nahiuve. Nangho jong chule na themgao hou jong, na bonchauva nathigam soh diu ahi.
For I have not sent them, says the Lord. And they prophesy falsely in my name, so that they may cast you out, and so that you may perish, both you and the prophets who make predictions for you.”
16 Chuin keiman thempu ho leh mipiho heng’a chun, Pakai thusei chu kahil in, hitin kaseiye. Na themgao houvin, Pakai houin sunga kon’a kipodoh gou ho, hung kinung pohlut loidinga aseiyu chu, ngaidauvin. Amahon jouthu jeng aseiyu ahibouve.
I spoke also to the priests and to this people, saying: “Thus says the Lord: Do not choose to listen to the words of your prophets, who prophesy to you, saying: ‘Behold, the vessels of the Lord will now quickly be returned from Babylon.’ For they are prophesying to you a lie.
17 Athuseiyu khu ngaipih hih un. Babylon lengpa khutnoiya kipelut uvin, chutileh nahinjoh diu ahi. Ibol a hiche khopi hi kimoh suhset jeng ding ham?
Therefore, do not choose to listen to them, but instead, serve the king of Babylon, so that you may live. Why should this city be given over into desolation?
18 Amaho chu themgao dihtah ahiuva, Pakaiya kon thupeh seiding nei ahiuleh, Hatchung nung Pakai henga taovu hen. Chule Pakai Houin sunga kidalha goulu ho, leng inpia gouho, chule Jerusalem a umden gou ho jouse, Babylon gam’a pohmanga aumlou nadia Hatchung nung Pakai heng a, taovuhen.
But if they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is in them, then let them intercede before the Lord of hosts, so that the vessels that were left behind in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, may not go to Babylon.
19 Ajeh chu Hatchungnung Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, ‘Houin maiya inkhom ho, kisilna sum-eng kong lent ah, kangtalai ho, chuleh thil chom chom ho jouse,
For thus says the Lord of hosts to the pillars, and to the sea of brass, and to the bases, and to the remainder of the vessels that have been left behind in this city,
20 Babylon leng Nebuchadnezzar in, Judah lengpa Jehoiakim chapa Jehoiachin chuleh Judah leh Jerusalem a vaipo milen milal ho abonchauva Babylon gam’a sohchang’a ana kaimang pet’a, ana dalhah chengse
which Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, did not take when he carried away Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, from Jerusalem into Babylon, with all the nobility of Judah and Jerusalem:
21 Hatchungnung Pakai, Israel Pathen in, Houin sunga goulu kidalha ho leh Judah leng inpia kidalha ho, thua hitin aseiye.
For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to the vessels that were left behind in the house of the Lord and in the house of the king of Judah and Jerusalem:
22 Hiche thilho jouse hi abon’a, Babylon gam’a kipolutsoh ding, keiman kagelkhoh kahsea chukom’a umjing ding; Chujouteng le keiman kahin nungpoh kit a, hiche mun’a hi kakoi ding ahibouve, ati.
They shall be carried away to Babylon, and there they shall be, until the day of their visitation, says the Lord. And then I will cause them to be carried back, and to be restored to this place.
