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,

This is what happened in the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah, in the fifth month of that same year, the fourth year. The prophet Hananiah, son of Azzur, who was from Gibeon, told me in the Lord's Temple in front 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 Almighty, 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.

Before two years have passed I'm going to bring back to Jerusalem all the Temple objects that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed and took 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.

I will also bring back to Jerusalem Jehoiachin, son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, together with all the exiles from Judah who were taken to Babylon, declares the Lord, because I'm going to 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 responded to the prophet Hananiah in front of the priests and all the people who were standing in the Lord's Temple.

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!” said Jeremiah. “I wish the Lord would do just that! I wish the Lord would fulfill your prophetic words and bring back Temple objects and all the exiles back to Jerusalem from Babylon.

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

But even so, pay attention to this message I'm going to tell you and everyone here.

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 long ago who came before you and me prophesied war, disaster, and disease against many countries 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.

When it comes to a prophet who prophesies peace, see if their prophecies come true. Only that will prove they are really sent by the Lord.”

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

Then the prophet Hananiah removed the yoke from the prophet Jeremiah's neck 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.

Hananiah announced in front of everyone, “This is what the Lord says: Just like this, before two years have passed I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all the nations.” Jeremiah the prophet left.

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

However, right after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from his neck, a message 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 may have broken a wooden yoke of wood, but you have replaced it with an iron yoke.

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.

This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I have tied iron yokes on the necks of all these nations to force them to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I have even given him control over the wild animals.”

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 to this, Hananiah! The Lord didn't send you, but you have convinced these people to believe 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.

So this is what the Lord says: I'm going to get rid of you from the earth. You will die this year because you have promoted rebellion against the Lord.”

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

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