Jeremiah 28

1 Judah Siangpahrang Zedekiah abawinae kum pali, thapa yung panga nah, profet Hananiah, Azzur capa, Gibeon tami ni, vaihmanaw hoi taminaw koevah BAWIPA e im dawk na pato teh kai koe,

In the fifth month of that same year, the fourth year, near the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah, the prophet Hananiah son of Azzur, who was from Gibeon, said to me in the house of the LORD in the presence of the priests and all the people:

2 ransahu BAWIPA, Isarel Cathut ni hettelah a dei, Babilon Siangpahrang e kahnam teh ka kâkhoe sak toe.

“This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

3 A kum kum hni touh thung BAWIPA e im dawk e hnopai Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar ni hete hmuen koehoi a la teh Babilon lah a ceikhai e hah, hete hmuen koe bout ka bankhai han.

Within two years I will restore to this place all the articles of the house of the LORD that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed from here and carried to Babylon.

4 Hete hmuen koevah Judah siangpahrang Jehoiakim capa Jekoniah hoi Babilon lah ka cet e Judah tami santoung e naw pueng hah bout ka bankhai han, bangkongtetpawiteh, Babilon siangpahrang e kahnam hah ka khoe han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei telah ati.

And I will restore to this place Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, along with all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon,’ declares the LORD, ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’”

5 Profet Jeremiah ni vaihmanaw hoi BAWIPA e im dawk kangdout e taminaw hmalah profet Hananiah koevah,

Then the prophet Jeremiah replied to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the LORD.

6 profet Jeremiah roeroe ni, Amen! hottelah BAWIPA ni sak katang naseh. BAWIPA im dawk e hnopainaw hoi san lah ceikhai e taminaw pueng hah Babilon hoi hete hmuen koe bout bankhai hanlah na pâpho e dawk BAWIPA ni sak katang seh.

“Amen!” Jeremiah said. “May the LORD do so! May the LORD fulfill the words you have prophesied, and may He restore the articles of His house and all the exiles back to this place from Babylon.

7 Hatei, rangpuinaw hoi na hnâthainae koe ka dei e lawk hah thaihaw.

Nevertheless, listen now to this message I am speaking in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people.

8 Kai hoi nang hoehnahlan, yampa e profetnaw ni ram moikapap e lathueng hoi kalenpounge uknae dawk tarantuknae, hawihoehnae hoi lacik kongnaw ouk a dei awh.

The prophets of old who preceded you and me prophesied war, disaster, and plague against many lands and great kingdoms.

9 Roumnae lawk ka pâpho e profet kong dawk, profet lawk a pha toteh hote profet teh, BAWIPA ni a patoun e doeh tie hah panue lah o han doeh, telah atipouh.

As for the prophet who prophesies peace, only if the word of the prophet comes true will the prophet be recognized as one the LORD has truly sent.”

10 Hahoi profet Hananiah ni profet Jeremiah e lahuen dawk e kahnam hah a la teh a khoe.

Then the prophet Hananiah took the yoke off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet and broke it.

11 Rangpuinaw hmalah Hananiah ni, hettelah BAWIPA ni a dei, hettelah Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar e kahnam teh kum hni touh thung roeroe vah miphunnaw e lahuen dawk kâkhoe sak han telah ati. Hahoi profet Jeremiah ni a ceitakhai.

And in the presence of all the people Hananiah proclaimed, “This is what the LORD says: ‘In this way, within two years I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon off the neck of all the nations.’” At this, Jeremiah the prophet went on his way.

12 Profet Hananiah ni profet Jeremiah lahuen dawk e kahnam a khoe pouh hnukkhu Jeremiah koe BAWIPA e lawk a pha.

But shortly after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke off his neck, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:

13 Cet nateh Hananiah koevah hettelah dei pouh. Hettelah BAWIPA ni a dei, thing kahnam na khoe e yueng lah sumkahnam na sak han atipouh.

“Go and tell Hananiah that this is what the LORD says: ‘You have broken a yoke of wood, but in its place you have fashioned a yoke of iron.’

14 Bangkongtetpawiteh, hettelah Isarel Cathut, ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei, Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar e thaw tawk thai awh nahan, hete hah miphunnaw pueng heh sumkahnam, phu sak lah ao. Ahni e thaw a tawk awh han, kahrawng moithangnaw hai ahni ka poe toe, telah ati.

For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations to make them serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I have even given him control of the beasts of the field.’”

15 Profet Jeremiah ni profet Hananiah koevah, thaihaw, Hananiah, BAWIPA ni na patoun e nahoeh, hatei hete taminaw hah laithoe na yuem sak.

Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, “Listen, Hananiah! The LORD did not send you, but you have persuaded this people to trust in a lie.

16 Hatdawkvah, hettelah BAWIPA ni a dei, khenhaw, talai dawk hoi na takhoe han. BAWIPA taranlahoi taranthawnae na cangkhai dawkvah takum dawk na due han atipouh.

Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘I am about to remove you from the face of the earth. You will die this year because you have preached rebellion against the LORD.’”

17 Hahoi, hatnae kum dawk, thapa yung sari nah profet Hananiah teh a due.

And in the seventh month of that very year, the prophet Hananiah died.
