< Jeremiah 43 >
1 Pakai a-Pathen uvin amaho ding’a ahinsei thuho jouse chu, Jeremiah in mipite heng’a abonchan aseipeh tai.
When Jeremiah had finished telling all the people all the words of the LORD their God—everything that the LORD had sent him to say—
2 Hichun Hoshaiah chapa Azariah leh Kareah chapa Johanan chule mihoitho phabep chu, Jeremiah heng’a ahung un, ajah’a, “Pakai ka-Pathen uvin keiho Egypt gam’a kache diu jahda ponte. Nangman jou nasei ahibouve.
Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and all the arrogant men said to Jeremiah, “You are lying! The LORD our God has not sent you to say, ‘You must not go to Egypt to reside there.’
3 Nangma Neriah chapa Baruch toh nakihoutoh a, keiho hi Babylon te khut’a eikipedoh uva, chule amahon eithauva ahiloule sohchang’a Babylon gam’a eikai mang nadiuva, hitobang thuh naseidoh ahi,” atiuve.
Rather, Baruch son of Neriah is inciting you against us to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, so that they may put us to death or exile us to Babylon!”
4 Hijeh chun, Johanan leh gal lamkai ho chuleh mipite jouse chun, Pakaiyin Judah gamsung’a nachenden diu ahi, tia aseichu angai tapouve.
So Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces disobeyed the command of the LORD to stay in the land of Judah.
5 Hichun Johanan leh gal lamkai ho thusah chun, gam chom chom’a ajamcheh nauva kon’a hung kilekit’a, Judah gamsung’a chengding kigo ho chule akidalha amoh chengse chu, apuijun ache tauve.
Instead, Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces took the whole remnant of Judah, those who had returned to the land of Judah from all the nations to which they had been scattered,
6 Mipi ho lah’a chun, pasal ho, numei ho, chapang ho chule leng chanu te hojong ahiuve. Amaho chu, in-ngah lamkaipa Nebuzaradan in Gedaliah khut’a adalhah ho ahiuve. Alah uva chun, Jeremiah themgaopa leh Baruch jong apuitha tauvin ahi.
the men, the women, the children, the king’s daughters, and everyone whom Nebuzaradan captain of the guard had allowed to remain with Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, as well as Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch son of Neriah.
7 Hitichun, Pakai thusei ngailouvin, mipiho chu Egypt gamsung’a alut un, achepeh uvin Tahpanhes khopi alhung tauve.
So they entered the land of Egypt because they did not obey the voice of the LORD, and they went as far as Tahpanhes.
8 Tahpanhes mun’a, Pakaiyin Jeremiah heng’a thu ahinsei kit in, ajah’a,
Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes:
9 “Judahte mitmu tah in, nangman songchang alenthim phabep lanlang, Pharaoh lengpa inpi lutna lampi’a kipha songpheng noiya khun vuijin.
“In the sight of the Jews, pick up some large stones and bury them in the clay of the brick pavement at the entrance to Pharaoh’s palace at Tahpanhes.
10 Chuteng Judah miho kom’a seiyin: Thaneipen Pakai, Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye; Keiman kasohpa Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar chu hilai mun’a kahin puilut ding ahi. Keiman hiche songchang kiselho chung’a hi, alaltouna kaki dosah’a chule aman hilai mun’a hi aleng ponbuh ason khumding ahi.
Then tell them that this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I will send for My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and I will set his throne over these stones that I have embedded, and he will spread his royal pavilion over them.
11 Ama hung kon intin, Egypt gamsung asuhgam ding. Chuteng athiding ho thiuvin tin, sohchang dingho sohchang uvintin, chule gal’a thiding ho thisoh diu ahi.
He will come and strike down the land of Egypt, bringing death to those destined for death, captivity to those destined for captivity, and the sword to those destined for the sword.
12 Aman Egypt te Pathen chom chom houna in jouse asuhset ding, meiya ahalvam ding, chule asung’a kitung milimdoi ho jouse akipoh mang ding ahi. Aman Egypt gamsung chu, kelngoi chingpan asangkholchol a um hit hi alhentheng bang’a alhentheng sel ding ahi. Ahin ama tahchu, imacha tilouva chemang ding ahi.
I will kindle a fire in the temples of the gods of Egypt, and Nebuchadnezzar will burn those temples and take their gods as captives. So he will wrap himself with the land of Egypt as a shepherd wraps himself in his garment, and he will depart from there unscathed.
13 Aman Egypt gamsung’a nisa houna inchu asuhchim ding, chule Egypt Pathen chom chom houna in jouse meiya ahalvam ding ahi.
He will demolish the sacred pillars of the temple of the sun in the land of Egypt, and he will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.’”
