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,

And it happened in that year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah, the son of Azur, the prophet from Gibeon, spoke to me, in the house of the Lord, in the sight of the priests and all the people, saying:

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

“Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: 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.

There are still two years of days, and then I will cause to be carried back to this place all the vessels of the house of the Lord that Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, took from this place and carried away 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 return to this place: Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, and all those taken captive from Judah, who were brought into Babylon, says the Lord. For I will crush the yoke of the king of Babylon.”

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

And Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Hananiah the prophet, before the eyes of the priests and before the eyes of 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.

And Jeremiah the prophet said: “Amen, may the Lord accomplish this; may the Lord act upon your words, which you have prophesied, so that the vessels may be carried back to the house of the Lord, and so that all those taken captive may return from Babylon to this place.

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

Yet truly, listen to this word, which I am speaking to your ears and to the ears 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, who were before me and before you, from the beginning, have prophesied over many lands and over great kingdoms, about war, and about affliction, and about famine.

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.

The prophet who has predicted peace, if his word will occur, then the prophet will be known as one whom the Lord has sent in truth.”

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

And Hananiah the prophet took the chain from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, and he 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 Hananiah spoke in the sight of all the people, saying: “Thus says the Lord: So shall I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, after two years of days, from the neck of all the people.”

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

And Jeremiah the prophet went his own way. And after Hananiah the prophet had broken the chain from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:

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 you shall say to Hananiah: Thus says the Lord: You have broken chains of wood, and so you will make for them chains 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 thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have placed a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, so that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon. And they shall serve him. Moreover, I have given to him even the beasts of the earth.”

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

And Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah the prophet: “Listen, Hananiah! The Lord has not sent you, and so you have caused 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.

For this reason, thus says the Lord: Behold, I will send you away from the face of the earth. This year, you shall die. For you have spoken against the Lord.”

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

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