Jeremiah 32
1 Judah Siangpahrang Zedekiah abawinae kum 10 nah, Nebukhadnezar abawinae kum 18 nah, Jeremiah koe BAWIPA e lawk a tho.
After Zedekiah had been ruling Judah for almost ten years, Yahweh gave me another message, during the time that Nebuchadnezzar had been ruling [Babylonia] for almost 18 years.
2 Hatnae tueng dawk Babilon siangpahrang ransahunaw ni Jerusalem a kalup awh teh, profet Jeremiah teh Judah siangpahrang kalupnae rapan thung vah thongim a bo.
His army was surrounding Jerusalem, and I was in a prison area in the courtyard where the guards of the king’s palace stayed.
3 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah ni, bangkongmaw BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, khenhaw! hete khopui he Babilon siangpahrang kut dawk ka poe vaiteh a la han.
King Zedekiah had put me there. I continued to prophesy there [about what would happen]. I continued to say, “Yahweh says that he is about to allow [the army of] the king of Babylon to capture this city [DOU].
4 Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah hai Khaldeannaw e kut dawk hoi hlout mahoeh, Babilon siangpahrang e kut dawk bout a pha vaiteh, minhmai kâhmo laihoi kâpato roi vaiteh a mit ni a mei a hmu han.
And the soldiers of Babylonia will capture King Zedekiah and (take him to/put him in the hands of) the king of Babylon.
5 Zedekiah teh Babilon ram lah a ceikhai han, ahni ka hloe hoehroukrak haw vah ao han, Khaldeannaw na tuk ei teh, na tâ mahoeh, telah BAWIPA ni a dei, telah bangkongmaw a dei. titeh thongim vah a paung.
Then his [soldiers] will take Zedekiah to Babylon, and he will remain there until I arrange for him to be punished. And if he tries to fight against the soldiers from Babylonia, he will not succeed.”
6 Jeremiah ni, BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
[At that time], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
7 Khenhaw! na pa kanaw Shallum capa Hanamel hah Anathoth kho e ka ram hah nama hanlah ranh. Bangkongtetpawiteh ram coe thai e lah na o dawkvah na ran thai, telah nang koe a tho han, telah a ti.
“[Your cousin] Hanamel, the son of Shallum [your uncle], will come to you. He will say to you, ‘Buy my field at Anathoth, [your hometown]. [Because you are my closest relative], [it is written in our laws that] you have the right to buy it [before I ask if anyone else wants to buy it].’”
8 Hot patetlah apa kanaw e capa Hanamel teh BAWIPA e lawk patetlah kalup e rapan thung kai koe vah a tho teh, Benjamin ram Anathoth kho e ka ram heh ran leih, bangkongtetpawiteh ram coe thai e lah na o dawkvah na ratang hanlah ao. Hatdawkvah nang hanlah ka ran toe telah ati. Hahoi hetheh BAWIPA e lawk doeh tie hah ka panue.
And just as Yahweh had predicted, my cousin Hanamel came to see me in the courtyard of the palace. He said, “[Please] buy my field at Anathoth in the area [where the descendants of] Benjamin live. It is written in our laws that you have the right to buy it [before I ask if anyone else wants to buy it.]” When he said that, I knew that the message that I had received was [truly] from Yahweh.
9 Hahoi, apa kanaw e capa Hanamel, Anathoth kho e ram teh ka ran. Tangka ka parei pouh teh ngun tangka sekel 17 touh doeh.
[So], I bought the field at Anathoth. I paid Hanamel 17 pieces of silver for it.
10 Min ka thuk teh mitnoutnae ka sak, lawk kapanuekkhaikung ka kaw teh, tangka teh khingnae dawk ka khing.
I signed the paper/papyrus on which it was written that I was buying it, while others were watching/witnessing it. Then I weighed the silver [and gave it to him].
11 Ran nahane rannae hoi phunglam patetlah lawkkâkam e hoi lawkkâkam hoeh e naw hai ka la.
Then I took two copies of the paper/papyrus. One was sealed and the other was not sealed. On both of them was written the price and conditions of the purchase. I took both copies
12 Apa kanaw e capa Hanamel mithmu hai thoseh, kapanuekkhaikung, rannae dawk min kaawmnaw mithmu hai thoseh kalup e rapan thung kaawm e Judahnaw e hmalah Maaseiah capa Neriah capa Baruk hah kâ ka poe.
and I gave them to Baruch, who was the son of Neraiah and the grandson of Mahseiah. I did this while my cousin Hanamel, the [other] witnesses who had signed the paper/papyrus, and other men of Judah who were there in the courtyard, were watching.
13 Hottelah ahnimae hmalah Baruk hah kâ ka poe teh,
[Then], while they were [all] listening, I said to Baruch,
14 Isarel Cathut ransahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, hete ca tacikkin e ca hoi paawng e ca hah lat haw, kasawlah o thai nahan talai hlaam thung hrueng.
“This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says: ‘Take both copies of this paper/papyrus and put them in a clay jar, to preserve them for a long time.
15 Bangkongtetpawiteh Isarel Cathut, ransahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, hete ram dawk im, law, misur takhanaw ayânaw ni bout a ran awh han, telah a ti.
[Do that] because this is what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [you] Israelis [worship], say: “[Some day people will again own property] in this land, and they will buy and sell houses and vineyards and fields.’”
16 Neriah capa Baruk koe rannae ca ka poe hnukkhu BAWIPA koe ka ratoum.
After I had given the papers/papyri to Baruch, I prayed to Yahweh, saying this:
17 Oe BAWIPA Cathut khenhaw! hnotithainae kalenpounge hoi na kut na dâw teh talai hoi kalvan na sak, nang hanlah ka ru e hno khoeroe awm hoeh.
“Yahweh, [you are my] Lord! You made the sky and the earth by your very great power. [MTY, DOU] Nothing is too difficult for you [to do].
18 Tami moikapap e lathueng pahrennae kamnue sak e hoi napanaw payonnae hnuk vah a capanaw koe kalenpounge, athakaawme Cathut, a min ransahu Jehovah doeh.
You show thousands of people that you faithfully love them, but you punish people for the sins that their parents have committed. [You are the] great and powerful God, the Commander of the armies of angels.
19 Khokhang kathoum, a thaw dawk athakaawme, tami canaw nuencang kacaicalah kahmawtkung hoi taminaw pueng e nuencang hoi a sak awh e patetlah kapathungkung,
You make wise plans and you do mighty deeds. You see how all people behave [DOU], and you do to them what they deserve.
20 Izip ram dawk mitnoutnae hoi kângairu hno kasakkung, sahnin totouh Isarelnaw koe thoseh, alouke taminaw koehai thoseh ouk ka sak e, sahnin e patetlah ma hoi min kamnueksakkung,
You performed many miracles [DOU] in Egypt, and you continue [to perform miracles here] in Israel and everywhere else in the world. [Because of that], you have (become very famous/caused many people to know that you are very great/powerful).
21 na tami Isarelnaw Izip ram dawk mitnoutnae hoi kângairunae, a thakasai e kut hoi a kut a pho teh takikatho e hno kalenpoung kathokhaikung,
You brought our Israeli ancestors out of Egypt by performing many great miracles [DOU], using your very great power [DOU], causing [our enemies to be] terrified.
22 khoitui hoi sanutui lawngnae ram mintoenaw koe thoebo hoi lawkkam e patetlah kapoekung doeh.
You gave to us Israeli people this land that you solemnly promised to give to our ancestors, a land that is very fertile [IDM].
23 A kâen awh teh kho a sak awh. Hatei lawk ngai awh laipalah kâpoelawknaw tarawi awh hoeh, tawk hanlah kâ poe e naw tawk awh hoeh, hatdawkvah hete kahawihoehe hnonaw pueng ahnimae lathueng na pha sak e doeh.
Our ancestors came here and conquered this land and started to live in it, but they refused to obey you or to do what you commanded them to do. Because of that, you have caused us to experience all these disasters.
24 Khenhaw! khopui la hanelah talai kacoumnaw a o, tahloi hoi takang hoi lacik dawk khopui hai ka tuk e Khaldeannaw e kut dawk poe lah a o, na dei tangcoung e hah a kuep, khenhaw! nama ni na hmu.
And now, [the army] of Babylonia has built ramps up against our city [walls] in order to attack our city. Because of [our enemies’] swords and because of famines and diseases, they will be able to conquer it [easily]. The things that you said would happen have [now] happened.
25 Oe BAWIPA Cathut, nama ni kai koe, ram teh tangka hoi ran leih, panuekkhaikungnaw kaw, khopui teh Khaldeannaw e kut dawk poe lah ao na ti, telah a ti.
[And it is evident that] the Babylonian army will soon conquer this city. So now, Yahweh my Lord, [I do not understand] why you told me to buy this field with my silver, while others were watching. [It seems that I have just been wasting my money by doing that]!”
26 Hahoi BAWIPA e lawk Jeremiah koe a pha teh,
[Then] Yahweh gave me this message:
27 Khenhaw! kai BAWIPA heh thitak katawnnaw pueng e Cathut lah ka o teh kai hanlah hno ka ru ao maw, telah a ti.
“I am Yahweh, the God [who rules] all the people [in the world]. There is absolutely nothing [RHQ] that is too difficult for me [to do].
28 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, khenhaw! hete khopui heh Khaldeannaw e kut hoi Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar e kut dawk ka poe vaiteh a tâ han.
So, this is what I say: [It is true that] I will enable the Babylonian army and King Nebuchadnezzar to capture this city.
29 Hahoi hete khopui ka tuk e Khaldeannaw tho awh vaiteh khopui hmaisawi awh han. Ka lungkhuek sak hanlah Baal koe hmuitui thuengnae, alouke cathutnaw koe nei thuengnae rabawk nahanelah a sak awh imvan kaawm e im pueng hoi he a kak han.
The soldiers of Babylonia who are [now outside the walls] around the city will enter and burn this city. They will burn down [all] the houses where people caused me to become angry by burning incense on [the tops of] their roofs to [honor] Baal and by pouring out offerings of wine to other gods.
30 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarel catounnaw hoi Judah catounnaw ni a nawca hoi ka mithmu vah hawihoehnae dueng a sak awh. Isarel catounnaw e a tawksak e naw ni ka lungkhuek sak, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
The people of Israel and Judah have continually done only evil things from the time that they became a nation. They have caused me to become very angry by all their evil deeds.
31 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka hmaitung hoi ka raphoe hanelah hete khopui sak kamtawng hoi atu totouh ka lungkhueksakkung hoi ka lungphuensakkung lah pou ao awh.
From the time that this city was built until now, the people of this city have done [only] things that caused me to be very angry [DOU]. So [now] I will destroy it.
32 Isarel catounnaw hoi Judah catounnaw ni ka lungkhuek nahanlah hawihoehnae a sak awh dawkvah, amamouh hoi siangpahrang kahrawikung, vaihma, profet, Jerusalem vah kho ka sak e Judah taminaw pueng hoi,
The people of Israel and Judah, [including] their kings, their officials, the priests, the [false] prophets, and all the other people in Jerusalem have committed many sins that have caused me to become angry.
33 ahnimanaw ni kai koe kamlang laipalah hnam na thun takhai toe. Atangcalah ka cangkhai eiteh dâw hanlah banglahai ngai awh hoeh.
My people have turned away from me and have refused to return to me. Even though I taught them things many times, they would not pay attention to what I taught them, and they would not obey me.
34 Ka min onae im hah a khin sak awh teh panuettho e hno a ta awh.
They have set up their detestable idols [even] in my own [MTY] temple and (defiled it/caused it to become a place that is unacceptable for people to worship me).
35 A canu, capanaw hah Molek koe hmaisawi hanlah Benhinom tanghling dawk kaawm e Baal bawknae hmuenrasang hah a sak awh. Judah taminaw yonnae sak sak hanlah hete panuettho e hno a sak awh e heh kai ni kâ ka poe e nahoeh, ka pouknae dawk hai kâen boihoeh.
They have built shrines to [honor] Baal in Ben-Hinnom Valley [outside Jerusalem], and there they sacrifice their sons and daughters to [their god] Molech. I never commanded them to do such horrible things. I never even thought that anyone might do such a terrible thing. And by doing it they have caused [all the people of] Judah to [be guilty of having] sinned.”
36 Hatdawkvah atu Isarel BAWIPA Cathut ni hete khopui heh tahloi, takang hoi lacik hoi Babilon kut dawk poe lah ao toe, ouk na ti awh e dawk hettelah a dei.
“But now [I will say something more] about this city. You [people of Jerusalem] have been saying, ‘[The army of] the King of Babylon will conquer it, either by their swords or because of famines or diseases.’ But this is what [I], Yahweh, the God whom you Israeli people [say you belong to], say:
37 Khenhaw! ka lungkhueknae, ka lungroumhoehnae, ka patawpoung e ka lungkâannae dawk hoi ahnimouh ka pâleinae ramnaw thung hoi bout ka pâkhueng vaiteh, hete hmuen koe ka thokhai vaiteh karoumcalah ka o sak han.
‘I will certainly bring my people back here again, from all the countries to which I will force them to go because I am extremely angry [DOU] with them. I will bring them back to this city and allow them to live here safely.
38 Ka tami lah ao vaiteh a Cathut lah ka o pouh han.
They will be my people, and I will be their God.
39 Amamouh hoi hnuk lae canaw hawi nahanlah yungyoe kai na bari awh nahan lungthin buet touh hoi hringnuen buet touh lah ka sak pouh han.
I will cause them to have one way of thinking [IDM] and behaving, in order that they may revere me, for their good and for the good of their descendants.
40 Hahoi ahnimouh koe yungyoe lawkkamnae ka sak vaiteh ahnimouh ceitakhai awh hoeh nahanlah pou ka sak pouh han. Kai na yawng takhai awh hoeh nahanlah lungthin dawk kai takinae ka hruek pouh han.
I will make an agreement with them that will last forever: I will never stop doing good things for them, and I will encourage them to revere me and never turn away from me.
41 A hawinae ka sak e heh kalunghawinae la o han, ka lungthin abuemlahoi hete ram dawk kacaklah ka ung han.
I will be happy to do good things for them, and I will surely enable them to return to this land and remain here [MET]; I will do that with all my inner being and all my strength.’
42 BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, hete taminaw lathueng hawihoehnae ka patawpoung lah ka tho sak e patetlah ahnimouh koe lawk ka kam e hawinae pueng ka kuep sak han.
And this is [also] what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘I have caused them to experience all these disasters. Similarly, [some day] I will do for them all the good things that I have promised.
43 Kingdi ram Khaldeannaw koe poe tangcoung e tami hoi saring awm hoeh toe, telah ouk na ti awh e ram dawk ram hah bout a ran awh han.
[By buying land you, Jeremiah, have predicted that some day] people will buy and sell fields in this land about which you [people of Jerusalem] now say, “The Babylonian soldiers have destroyed it. It is [now] desolate. [It is a land where] there are no longer any people or animals.”
44 Benjamin ram dawk thoseh, Jerusalem khopui tengpam thoseh, Judah ram khopui dawk thoseh, tami ni tangka hoi law a ran awh han, a kin awh vaiteh kapanuekkhaikung a kaw awh han, mitnoutnae a sak awh han, bangkongtetpawiteh santoungnae thung hoi bout ka bansak han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
[But some day] people will [again] buy [and sell] fields here. People will sign documents [about buying those fields], and [other people] will witness them doing that. [That will happen] in the land where [the descendants of] Benjamin live and [here] in the villages near Jerusalem, in [other] towns in Judah, in the hilly areas and in the foothills [to the west], and in the southern desert area, [too. Some day] I will cause them to prosper again. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.’”
