Jeremiah 25
1 Judah siangpahrang Jehoiakim, Josiah capa a bawinae kum pali nah, Judah taminaw pueng kong dawk Jeremiah koe ka tho e lawk teh: hatnae tueng Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar a bawinae a kum pasueknae doeh.
This is the word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
2 Hote lawk teh profet Jeremiah ni Judahnaw pueng hoi Jerusalem kaawmnaw pueng koevah, a dei e doeh.
So the prophet Jeremiah spoke to all the people of Judah and all the residents of Jerusalem as follows:
3 kum 23 touh thung Judah siangpahrang Josiah Ammon capa a bawinae kum 13 hoi sahnin totouh BAWIPA e lawk teh a tho. Amom ka thaw teh nangmouh koe ouk ka dei ei, na thai ngai awh hoeh.
“From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah until this very day—twenty-three years—the word of the LORD has come to me, and I have spoken to you again and again, but you have not listened.
4 BAWIPA ni nangmouh koe a thaw katawkkung profet pueng a patoun toe, amom a thaw awh teh, a patoun. Hatei, na thai ngai awh hoeh. Thai hanelah na hnâpakeng ngai awh hoeh.
And the LORD has sent all His servants the prophets to you again and again, but you have not listened or inclined your ear to hear.
5 Hote profetnaw ni tami pueng mae yonnae lam hoi a tawksak awh e hawihoehnae hah pankângai vaiteh, BAWIPA ni nangmouh koehoi napanaw koevah a yungyoe hanelah na poe awh e ram dawkvah khosak awh.
The prophets told you, ‘Turn now, each of you, from your evil ways and deeds, and you can dwell in the land that the LORD has given to you and your fathers forever and ever.
6 Ahnimae cathut bawk hane hoi thaw tawk pouh hanelah kâbang hanh awh. Hahoi na kut hoi na sak e hoi ka lungkhuek sak hanh awh. Hat pawiteh, patawnae na poe awh mahoeh, telah ouk ati awh.
Do not follow other gods to serve and worship them, and do not provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands. Then I will do you no harm.’
7 Hateiteh, nangmouh pataw nahanelah, na kut thawtawknae ni ka lungkhuek sak teh, na tarawi ngai awh hoeh, telah BAWIPA ni ati.
‘But to your own harm, you have not listened to Me,’ declares the LORD, ‘so you have provoked Me to anger with the works of your hands.’
8 Hatdawkvah, ransahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, ka lawk na tarawi ngai awh hoeh dawkvah,
Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Because you have not obeyed My words,
9 khenhaw! atunglae imthung pueng hah ka patoun vaiteh, koung ka la han, telah BAWIPA ni ati. Ka san Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar hai, ram dawk ka tho sak vaiteh, ahni ni hete ram hoi hete ram thung kaawmnaw hoi hitapat kaawm e miphun pueng tuk hanelah ka thokhai han. Koung ka raphoe vaiteh, kângairu hane hoi, pathoe vaiteh raphoe yungyoe e lah ka coung sak han.
behold, I will summon all the families of the north, declares the LORD, and I will send for My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, whom I will bring against this land, against its residents, and against all the surrounding nations. So I will devote them to destruction and make them an object of horror and contempt, an everlasting desolation.
10 Ahnimouh thung vah nawmnae hoi lunghawilawknaw kamthang, yuvâ kâpaluennae pawlawk hoi, paang e hmaiang hah ka la pouh han.
Moreover, I will banish from them the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of the bride and bridegroom, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.
11 Hete ram pueng hah koung a rawk han, hahoi hete miphun ni Babilon siangpahrang e thaw hah kum 70 touh a tawk awh han.
And this whole land will become a desolate wasteland, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon for seventy years.
12 Hahoi kum 70 touh a baw toteh, Babilon siangpahrang hoi hote miphun hoi Khaldeannaw e ram teh, a yon awh kecu dawkvah, ka rek vaiteh, a yungyoe ka raphoe han, telah BAWIPA ni ati.
But when seventy years are complete, I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans, for their guilt, declares the LORD, and I will make it an everlasting desolation.
13 Hahoi ram lathueng vah, ka dei e lawk pueng, Jeremiah ni miphun pueng lathueng vah a dei e, hete cauk thung thut e pueng hah ka kuep sak han.
I will bring upon that land all the words I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
14 Bangkongtetpawiteh, miphun kuep hoi ka lentoe e siangpahrangnaw ni, amamouh thung hoi a ngai awh e hah a rawi awh vaiteh, a sak awh e hoi a tawk awh e patetlah moi ka pathung han.
For many nations and great kings will enslave them, and I will repay them according to their deeds and according to the work of their hands.’”
15 Isarel Cathut BAWIPA ni kai koe hettelah a dei, Ka kut dawk kaawm e lungkhueknae manang hah lat nateh, ka patoun hane miphun hah pânei haw.
This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take from My hand this cup of the wine of wrath, and make all the nations to whom I send you drink from it.
16 A nei awh vaiteh, rawrawcu awh han. Ahnimouh koe ka patoun hane tahloi kecu dawkvah, lungmuenti awh han, telah ati.
And they will drink and stagger and go out of their minds, because of the sword that I will send among them.”
17 BAWIPA kut dawk e manang hah ka la teh, BAWIPA ni a patoun e miphunnaw ka pânei.
So I took the cup from the LORD’s hand and made all the nations drink from it, each one to whom the LORD had sent me,
18 Hotnaw teh hetnaw hah doeh. Jerusalem hoi Judah khopui, haw e siangpahrangnaw hoi kahrawikungnaw, raphoenae hoi kângairu hane hoi lawkthoe hoi thoebonae lah ao nahanelah, atu e a nuencangnaw hah,
to make them a ruin, an object of horror and contempt and cursing, as they are to this day—Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and officials;
19 Izip siangpahrang Faro hoi a ransa kahrawikungnaw hoi a taminaw pueng,
Pharaoh king of Egypt, his officials, his leaders, and all his people;
20 ahni hoi kambawng e Jentelnaw pueng, Uz ram dawk e siangpahrangnaw, Filistin ram e siangpahrangnaw pueng, Askelon, Gaza. Ekron, hoi Asdod kaawm e siangpahrang,
all the mixed tribes; all the kings of Uz; all the kings of the Philistines: Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
21 Edom hoi Moab, Ammon catounnaw,
Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites;
22 Taire siangpahrang pueng hoi Zidon siangpahrangnaw pueng, tuipui teng siangpahrangnaw pueng hoi,

24 Arabia siangpahrangnaw pueng, ramke khosak e miphun kambawng e siangpahrang pueng,
all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed tribes who dwell in the desert;
25 Zimri siangpahrangnaw pueng, Elam siangpahrangnaw pueng, Media siangpahrangnaw pueng,
all the kings of Zimri, Elam, and Media;
26 atunglae siangpahrangnaw pueng, ahla a hnai a kâtarui awh e patetlah talai uknaeram pueng hah a nei awh hnukkhu, Sheshak siangpahrang ni a nei han.
all the kings of the north, both near and far, one after another—all the kingdoms on the face of the earth. And after all of them, the king of Sheshach will drink it too.
27 Ahnimouh koe, ransahu BAWIPA, Isarel Cathut ni hettelah a dei. Net awh nateh, parui awh. Palawt awh nateh rawm awh. Thaw awh hanh lawih. Bangkongtetpawiteh nangmouh koe ka patoun hane tahloi kecu dawkvah, na ti pouh han.
“Then you are to tell them that this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘Drink, get drunk, and vomit. Fall down and never get up again, because of the sword I will send among you.’
28 Hahoi na kut dawk e manang nei hane heh lat ngai awh hoehpawiteh, ahnimouh koe hettelah na dei pouh han. Ransahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, na nei roeroe han
If they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink it, you are to tell them that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘You most certainly must drink it!
29 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka min lahoi kaw e khopui dawk, thoenae sak hanlah ka kamtawng teh, nangmouh rek laipalah ka o han na maw, rek laipalah na awm awh mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, talai van khosaknaw pueng koe vah, tahloi ka palik han, telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei.
For behold, I am beginning to bring disaster on the city that bears My Name, so how could you possibly go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for I am calling down a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, declares the LORD of Hosts.’
30 Hatdawkvah, ahnimouh taran lahoi, hete lawk pueng pâpho nateh, ahnimouh koevah, BAWIPA teh hmuenrasang koehoi a hram han. Khosaknae hmuen kathoung koehoi a lawk a tâco han. A rapan taranlahoi puenghoi a hram han. Misur katinkung patetlah talai van kaawm pueng taranlahoi a hram han.
So you are to prophesy all these words against them and say to them: ‘The LORD will roar from on high; He will raise His voice from His holy habitation. He will roar loudly over His pasture; like those who tread the grapes, He will call out with a shout against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 Talai pout totouh, pawlawk a kamthang han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni miphun a taran teh, moithang pueng lathueng lawkceng han. Tamikathout teh tahloi koe a poe han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
The tumult will resound to the ends of the earth because the LORD brings a charge against the nations. He brings judgment on all mankind and puts the wicked to the sword,’”
32 Ransahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, khenhaw! thoenae ni miphun pueng a katin han. Katangpounge kahlî talai poutnae koehoi a tho han.
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Behold! Disaster is spreading from nation to nation; a mighty storm is rising from the ends of the earth.”
33 Hat hnin vah BAWIPA ni a thei e naw hah talai poutnae koehoi talai poutnae koe totouh a kâyat vaiteh, talai dawk eitaboung patetlah ao awh han.
Those slain by the LORD on that day will be spread from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned, gathered, or buried. They will be like dung lying on the ground.
34 Tukhoumnaw hramki awh nateh, kap awh. Nangmae tuhu thung e kahrawikungnaw hai paleipaluet awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, thei nahane hnin hoi na kâkapek nahane hnin teh a pha katang toe. Ka sungren e hlaam patetlah na rawp awh han.
Wail, you shepherds, and cry out; roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock. For the days of your slaughter have come; you will fall and be shattered like fine pottery.
35 Tukhoumnaw hanlah yawng nahane hmuen awm mahoeh. Tuhunaw thung dawk kahrawikungnaw nihai, roun nahane lamthung tawn awh mahoeh.
Flight will evade the shepherds, and escape will elude the leaders of the flock.
36 Tukhoumnaw khuinae pawlawk hoi tuhunaw thung dawk hoi kahrawikungnaw hramnae pawlawk hah thai e lah ao han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni a pawngpanae ramhringnaw heh a raphoe pouh teh,
Hear the cry of the shepherds, the wailing of the leaders of the flock, for the LORD is destroying their pasture.
37 kalenpounge BAWIPA lungkhueknae kecu dawkvah, duem ao nahane hmuen hai he a raphoe.
The peaceful meadows have been silenced because of the LORD’s burning anger.
38 Sendek patetlah a kâhronae hmuen a tâco takhai toe. Bangtelamaw, ka mathengpoung e ni repcoungroenae hoi ka mathengpoung e a lungkhueknae kecu dawkvah amamae ram kingdi toe telah ati.
He has left His den like a lion, for their land has been made a desolation by the sword of the oppressor, and because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
