Jeremiah 26

1 Judah siangpahrang Josiah capa Jehoiakim a bawinae kamtawng nah hete lawk BAWIPA koe hoi a tho.

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah came this word from the Lord, saying,

2 BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, BAWIPA e im thongma dawk kangdout haw, Judah khopuinaw pueng ni Cathut bawk hanlah BAWIPA e im dawk kathonaw pueng koe dei hanlah na poe e lawknaw hah buet touh hai pâhma laipalah dei pouh.

Thus hath said the Lord, Place thyself in the court of the house of the Lord, and speak against all of the cities of Judah, who come to prostrate themselves in the house of the Lord, all the words that I have commanded thee to speak unto them: omit not a word [thereof];

3 Yonnae a sak awh dawkvah ahnimae lathueng thoenae sak hanlah ka kâcai e let ka kâhno thai nahanlah tamipueng ni a yonae hah kamlang takhai teh, thai hanlah a ngai thai yawkaw han doeh.

Perhaps it be that they will hearken, and return every man from his evil way, that I may bethink me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them, because of the wrongfulness of their doings.

4 Nang ni ahnimouh koevah, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, kaie lawk na thai ngai awh hoeh teh, nangmae hmalah ka ta e kâlawknaw tarawi ngai hoeh dawkvah,

And thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord, if ye will not hearken unto me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,

5 amom ka thaw teh ka patoun e ka thaw ka tawk e profetnaw e lawk hah banglahai noutna awh hoeh pawiteh,

To hearken unto the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send unto you, yea, making them rise up early, and sending them, while ye have not hearkened:

6 hete im heh Shiloh patetlah ka o sak vaiteh talai van e miphunnaw pueng ni thoebo e khopui lah ka coung sak han, telah na ti han, telah ati.

Then will I render this house like Shiloh, and this city will I render a curse unto all the nations of the earth.

7 Vaihmanaw hoi profetnaw hoi tamimaya ni BAWIPA im dawk Jeremiah ni a dei e lawk hah a thai awh.

And the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the Lord:

8 Hahoi hettelah o, tamimaya koe dei hanelah BAWIPA ni a poe e lawknaw pueng he a dei hnukkhu vaihma, profet hoi tamimaya ni, a man awh teh na due roeroe han!

And it came to pass, when Jeremiah had finished speaking all that the Lord had commanded [him] to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people seized on him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.

9 Bangkongmaw BAWIPA e min lahoi, hete im heh Shiloh patetlah ao vaiteh hete khopui dawk tami awm laipalah kingdi han telah na dei, telah ati awh. Hattoteh BAWIPA e im dawk taminaw pueng ni Jeremiah teh a cusin awh.

Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, Like Shiloh shall this house be, and this city shall be ruined, [left] without an inhabitant? And all the people assembled themselves against Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.

10 Judah kahrawikungnaw ni hete kong a thai awh toteh siangpahrang im dawk e BAWIPA e im longkha katha koe a tahung awh.

But when the princes of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king's house unto the house of the Lord, and sat down at the entrance of the new gate of the Lord's house.

11 Vaihma hoi profetnaw ni kahrawikungnaw hoi tamihu koe, hete tami he due hanlah a kamcu. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hnâ hoi na thai e patetlah hete khopui taranlahoi a pâpho toe, telah ati awh.

Then said the priests and the prophets unto the princes and unto all the people, as followeth, This man deserveth the punishment of death; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your own ears.

12 Kahrawikungnaw pueng hoi taminaw pueng koe Jeremiah ni, lawknaw pueng na thai awh e patetlah, hete im hoi khopui raphoe hane kong dei hanelah BAWIPA ni na patoun.

Then said Jeremiah unto all the princes and unto all the people, as followeth, The Lord hath sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard.

13 Hatdawkvah, atu na hringnuen hoi na khosaknae hah pathoup awh nateh BAWIPA Cathut e lawk hah yuem awh, telah pawiteh, BAWIPA ni nangmae lathueng hawihoehnae pha sak hanlah a pâpho tangcoung e hah bout a kâhno han.

But now amend your ways and your doings, and hearken to the voice of the Lord your God: and the Lord will bethink him of the evil that he hath spoken against you.

14 Kai hah teh, atu nangmae kut dawk ka o, a lan, ahawi na ti awh e patetlah, kaie lathueng vah sak awh.

As for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as seemeth good and just in your eyes.

15 Kai na thet payon awh pawiteh namamouh hoi hete khopui hoi athung kaawmnaw pueng koe yonnae kaawm hoeh e thipaling na pha sak awh tie hah panuek awh. Atangcalah hete lawknaw heh na hnâthai awhnae koe dei hanelah BAWIPA ni na patoun e doeh, telah ati.

But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye will surely place [the guilt of] innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon its inhabitants; for in truth hath the Lord sent me unto you to speak in your ears all these words.

16 Hat toteh, kahrawikungnaw hoi tamimaya ni, vaihma hoi profetnaw koevah, hete tami heh due hanelah kamcu hoeh, bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA maimae Cathut min lahoi maimouh koe lawk a dei toe, telah ati awh.

Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the prophets, This man is not deserving the punishment of death; for in the name of the Lord our God hath he spoken unto us.

17 Hote ram dawk e kacuenaw a kangdue awh teh, tamimaya koevah,

And then rose up certain men of the elders of the land, and said to all the assembly of the people, as followeth,

18 Mikah Morashtite tami ni Judah siangpahrang Hezekiah a bawi navah lawk a pâpho, hahoi Judah taminaw pueng koe, ransahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Zion teh laikawk patetlah thawn e lah ao han, Jerusalem teh songnawng lah o vaiteh, bawkim mon teh ratu hmuenrasang patetlah ao han, telah ati.

Michah the Morashthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah the king of Judah. and said to all the people of Judah, as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Zion shall be ploughed up like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps of ruins, and the mountain of the house, woody high-places.

19 Judah siangpahrang Hezekiah hoi Judah taminaw pueng ni ahni hah a thei awh maw. BAWIPA taki lahoi BAWIPA ni ngaikhainae doeh a pacei awh teh, BAWIPA ni ahnimae lathueng hawihoehnae pha sak hane hah bout a kâhno nahoehmaw. Hatei, maimouh teh kalenpounge hawihoehnae hah mamouh taranlahoi sak awh.

Did Hezekiah the king of Judah and all Judah attempt to put him to death? behold, he did fear the Lord, and besought the Lord, and the Lord bethought him of the evil which he had spoken against them. And shall we bring a great wickedness on our souls?

20 Hahoi alouke tami BAWIPA e min lahoi lawk ka dei e Kiriath tami Shemaiah capa Uriah hah bout ao. Jeremiah ni a dei e naw patetlah hete ram hoi khopui raphoe hane kong hah a dei.

And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the Lord, Uriyah the son of Shema'yahu of Kiryath-ye'arim, who prophesied against this city and against this land in accordance with all the words of Jeremiah;

21 Siangpahrang Jehoiakim hoi athakaawme taminaw hoi kahrawikungnaw pueng ni a thai awh toteh, siangpahrang ni thei hanelah a kâcai. Hatei, Uriah ni a thai toteh a taki teh Izip ram lah a yawng.

And when king Jehoyakim, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death; but when Uriyahu heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and arrived in Egypt;

22 Hahoi siangpahrang Jehoiakim ni Izip ram lah Akbor capa Elnathan hoi alouke taminaw hoi a patoun.

But king Jehoyakim sent some men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of 'Achbor, and some men with him into Egypt:

23 Izip ram dawk hoi Uriah a tâcokhai awh teh siangpahrang Jehoiakim koevah a thokhai awh, ama ni tahloi hoi a thei teh a ro hah lam teng mathoenaw e phuen dawk a tâkhawng, telah ati awh.

And they fetched Uriyahu out of Egypt, and brought him unto king Jehoyakim, who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body upon the graves of the common people.

24 Hatei, Shaphan capa Ahikam ni Jeremiah a kampangkhai dawkvah, thei hanelah tamimaya e kut dawk poe hoeh.

But the hand of Achikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, so as not to give him up into the hand of the people to put him to death.
