Jeremiah 28
1 Judah lengpa Zedekiah lengchan kalkumli lhin kum, alha-nga lhin chun, nikhat Gibeon khomi Azzur chapa Hananiah chun, Pakai Houin ah, thempu holeh mipi angsung’a, keima jahtah in, hitin aseiye.
And it came to pass in the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah the king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that there said unto me Chananyah the son of 'Azzur the prophet, who was from Gib'on, in the house of the Lord, before the eyes of the priests, and of all the people, as followeth,
2 Hatchung nung Pakai, Israel Pathen chun hitin aseiye. Keiman, angonguva nakihennau Babylon lengpa namkol chu kaheboh’a kalah doh ding ahitai.
Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon;
3 Keiman kumni sung’a, Nebuchadnezzar lengpan Babylon gam’a anapoh mang, Houin sung gouthil ho jouse, kahin le pohlut kitding ahi.
Within yet two years' time will I cause to be brought back unto this place all the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon hath taken away from this place, and which he hath carried to Babylon:
4 Chule Babylon gam’a, sohchang’a kikaimang Judah lengpa Jehoiakim chapa Jehoiachin leh midangho jouse jong, keiman kahin le puilut kitding ahi. Keiman Babylon lengpa namkol nangonguva kihen chu kaheboh ding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye,’ati.
And Jechonyah the son of Jehoyakim the king of Judah, and all the exiles of Judah that are gone to Babylon, will I cause to return to this place, saith the Lord; for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
5 Hichun Jeremiah themgao pan jong, Thempu holeh mipi ho angsung’a chun, Hananiah chu a donbut in.
Then said Jeremiah the prophet unto Chananyah the prophet before the eyes of the priests, and before the eyes of all the people that stood in the house of the Lord,
6 Hitin aseiye, “Amen, nasei bang chun guilhung hen! Pakaiyin nagaothu seiho chu abonchan, na sei bang bang in boltei hen! Babylon gam’a sohchang a kikaimang ho leh Houin sunga kon’a kipomang goulu ho, abonchan hiche mun hinnung lhut teitei hen!
Yea, then said Jeremiah the prophet, Amen, may the Lord do so: may the Lord fulfill thy words which thou hast prophesied, to cause the vessels of the Lord's house, and all that have been carried into exile, to be brought back from Babylon unto this place.
7 Amavang nangma jah dingle mipite jah dinga, tunia keiman hiche thu kasei hi, phaten ngaiyin.
Nevertheless hear thou now this word which I speak before thy ears, and before the ears of all the people:
8 Nang le kei masanga themgao hon, khanglui laiya pat, namtin vaipi douna gaothu anaseiyuvin, gal umding, kel lhah ding, gamna hise chom chom in miho gihna ananeiyuvin ahi.
The prophets that have been before me and before thee from olden times prophesied both concerning many countries, and against great kingdoms, respecting war, and respecting evil, and respecting pestilence.
9 Chuti ahijeh chun, Themgao khat in chamna leh monna gaothu asei chu, mutheiya ahung guilhun teng le bou, amapa chu Pakaiya kon ahi mong e, iti eihon ihetbep dingu ahi, ati.
The prophet who prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet doth come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, [as the one] whom the Lord hath sent in truth.
10 Hichun Hananiah themgao pan Jeremiah ngong’a kihen namkol chu, aladoh in aheh bongtai.
Then took Chananyah the prophet the yoke-bar from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, and broke it.
11 Chuin Hannaniah jong chun, mipite jah dingin, avelin thu aseiyin, ‘Pakaiyin hitin aseiye: Keiman namtin vaipi sohchanna angonguva kihen, Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar namkol chu, kumni sunga kalahdoh a, kaheboh ding ahi, ati. Hichun Jeremiah themgao chun Houin adalhan achetai.
And Chananyah said before the eyes of all the people, as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord, Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon within two years' time from the neck of all the nations. And Jeremiah the prophet went his way.
12 Hananiah themgaopa toh akidinte jou chun, Pakaiyin Jeremiah henga thu ahinsei kittai.
Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, after Chananyah the prophet had broken the yoke-bar from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
13 Chenlang Hananiah chu gaseipehtan, “Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, nangman thing nam-kol in nakheltai.
Go and say unto Chananyah as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord, Yoke-bars of wood hast thou broken; but thou shalt make in their stead yoke-bars of iron.
14 Ijeh inem itile, Hatchungnung Pakai Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye: Keiman namtin vaipi ngong’a thih namkol kakoipih’a, amaho chu Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar soh’a pangdin ahi. Chule keiman ijakai ama thunoiya kakoi ding, gamsa ho geiya ama kapeh doh ahi, tin seipeh in, ati.
For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, A yoke of iron have I placed upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon; and they shall work for him: and also the beasts of the field have I given him.
15 Chuin Jeremiah themgao chun, Hananiah jah’a hitin aseiye. “Phaten ngaiyin, Hananiah! Pakaiyin nangma nasol ahipoi. Ahivangin, tun mipiten jouva gaothu nasei hi, atahsan uve.
Then said Jeremiah the prophet unto Chananyah the prophet, Hear now, Chananyah, The Lord did not send thee; but thou hast caused this people to trust on a falsehood.
16 Hijeh Chun Pakaiyin hitin aseiye. Nangma nathi teiding ahi. Nangman Pakai doumah nabol jeh’a, tukum sung’a nathi tei ding ahi, ati.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will send thee away from off the face of the earth: this year shalt thou die, because thou hast spoken rebellion against the Lord.
17 Hichun, lhani jouvin Hananiah themgaopa chu athitai.
So Chananyah the prophet died in that same year, in the seventh month.
