Jeremiah 34
1 Babilon Siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar hoi ransanaw pueng, a uknaeramnaw hoi taminaw pueng ni Jerusalem hoi khopuinaw pueng a tuk navah BAWIPA koehoi Jeremiah koe ka tho e lawk,
The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, when Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the nations, made war against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying: —
2 Isarel BAWIPA Cathut ni hettelah a dei, Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah koe cet nateh dei pouh, BAWIPA Cathut ni hettelah a dei, khenhaw! hete khopui heh Babilon siangpahrang kut dawk ka poe vaiteh, hmai hoi a sawi han.
Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Go and speak to Zedekiah, the king of Judah, and say to him, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
3 Ahnie kut dawk hoi na hlout mahoeh. Hatei man lah na o roeroe vaiteh a kut dawk na pha han. Na mit ni Babilon siangpahrang e mit a hmu han, minhmai kâhmo laihoi na pato vaiteh Babilon lah na cei han telah ati.
And thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
4 Hateiteh, oe Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah, BAWIPA e lawk thaihaw, nange kong dawk BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, tahloi hoi na dout mahoeh.
Yet hear the word of Jehovah, O Zedekiah, king of Judah! Thus saith Jehovah concerning thee: Thou shalt not die by the sword;
5 Karoumcalah na due han. Nang hoehnahlan e siangpahrang, kakhekungnaw hmuitui a sawi pouh awh e patetlah, nang han na sawi pouh awh han. Aiyoe bawipa, telah na khuika han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, lawk ka pabo toe, telah BAWIPA ni a dei telah ati.
in peace shalt thou die; and according to the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings, who were before thee, so shall they burn for thee; and they shall lament for thee, saying, “Ah, lord!” for I have spoken the word, saith Jehovah.
6 Babilon siangpahrang ransahunaw ni Jerusalem hoi kacawirae Judah khopuinaw pueng, Lakhish hoi Azek a tuk awh navah,
And Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words to Zedekiah, king of Judah, at Jerusalem.
7 Profet Jeremiah ni hete lawknaw pueng Jerusalem e Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah koe a dei pouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Judah khopui thung dawk tawn hane rapan ka tawn e teh hetnaw dueng doeh toe.
And the army of the king of Babylon fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah; for these fortified cities remained of the cities of Judah.
8 Siangpahrang Zedekiah ni Jerusalem e tamihupui koevah, taminaw pueng ni Hebru sannu hoi Hebru sanpa lah awm pawiteh hloutsak hanlah ao.
The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people that were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them,
9 A hmaunawngha e thaw ka tawk e Hebru tami apihai awm hanh naseh, telah hloutnae lawk a dei teh, lawkkamnae a sak hnukkhu BAWIPA koehoi Jeremiah koe lawk ka tho e teh,
that every one should let his man-servant or his maid-servant, being a Hebrew or Hebrewess, go free, that no one should retain his brother, a Jew, in servitude.
10 taminaw pueng ni thaw ka tawk pouh e napui, thaw ka tawk pouh e tongpa hai thoseh hloutsak hanlah ao. Ahnimae thaw tawk hanlah apihai awm hanh naseh tie lawkkam ka dâw e kahrawikungnaw hoi taminaw pueng ni lawkkam a dâw awh teh a hloutsak katang awh.
And all the princes, and all the people, who had entered into covenant to let every one his man-servant and every one his maid-servant go free, and retain them in servitude no longer, obeyed; they obeyed, and let them go.
11 Hatei hatnae tueng dawk bout kamlang awh teh a hloutsak awh e thaw ka tawk e napui, tongpanaw hah bout a man awh teh amamae kut rahim vah thaw bout a tawk sak awh.
But they returned afterwards, and took back the men-servants and the maid-servants whom they had let go free, and brought them into subjection as men-servants and as maid-servants.
12 Hat toteh, BAWIPA koehoi BAWIPA e lawk Jeremiah koevah a pha.
Then came the word of Jehovah to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
13 Isarel BAWIPA Cathut ni hettelah a dei, Izip ram santoungnae thung hoi na tâcokhai hnin dawk, na kakhekungnaw koe vah,
Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day when I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, and said,
14 taminaw pueng ni a hmaunawngha Hebru tami ahni koe yo e kum 6 touh a thaw tawk pouh pawiteh kum 7 kuep nah teh a hloutsak han, telah lawkkamnae a sak toe. Hatei na kakhekungnaw ni tarawi ngai awh hoeh, a hnâ a tabuem awh.
“At the end of seven years ye shall let go every man his brother, a Hebrew, who shall have been sold to thee; when he shall have served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee.” But your fathers hearkened not to me, nor inclined their ear.
15 Atuvah nangmanaw ni na kamlang awh teh taminaw pueng ni a imri koe hloutnae lawk a pâpho teh ka mithmu vah kalan e na sak awh teh ka min onae im dawk ka hmalah lawkkamnae sak awh.
And when ye had turned at this time, and had done what was right in mine eyes, in proclaiming liberty every one to his neighbor, and had entered into a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name,
16 Hatei, bout na kamlang awh teh ka min na kamhnawng sak awh teh lungthocalah hoi na tha awh e na sannu sanpanaw bout na man awh teh, namamae kut rahim vah thaw ka tawk e sannu sanpa lah bout na ta awh.
then ye returned and profaned my name, and took back every one his man-servant, and every one his maid-servant, whom he had set at liberty at their pleasure, and brought them into subjection to be men-servants and maid-servants to you.
17 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, taminaw pueng ni mae hmaunawngha hoi imri koe hloutnae lawk dei hanlah ka lawk na ngai awh hoeh. Khenhaw! kai kama ni nangmouh koe hloutnae lawk ka pâpho telah BAWIPA ni a dei. Tahloi, takang, lacik hoi doeh: runae kâhmo sak hanlah talai uknaeram pueng dawk na ta han.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Ye have not hearkened to me in proclaiming liberty every one to his brother, and every one to his neighbor. Behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith Jehovah, to the sword, to pestilence, and to famine, and I will give you up to oppression in all the kingdoms of the earth;
18 Ka lawkkam kaek e hoi ka hmalah reksei e maitoca rahak vah a cei teh lawkkamnae ka ek e,
and I will make the men who have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before me, like the calf which they cut in twain, and passed between the parts thereof,
19 Judah kahrawikung, Jerusalem kahrawikung hoi tuenla hoi, vaihma hoi taminaw pueng ni reksei e maitoca rahak ka cet e taminaw pueng hah,
the princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, that passed between the parts of the calf.
20 A tarannaw hoi thei hanlah katawngnaw koe ka poe vaiteh ahnimae ro teh kalvan e tavanaw hoi talai e sarangnaw e rawca lah ao han.
I will give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life; and their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.
21 Judah Siangpahrang Zedekiah hoi a sannaw a tho awh, ahnimouh thei han ka tawng e Babilon siangpahrang ransahu nangmouh koehoi kabannaw kut dawk ka poe han.
And Zedekiah, king of Judah, and his princes, will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, even into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which are gone up from you.
22 Khenhaw! hete khopui dawk bout ban hanelah kâ ka poe han telah BAWIPA ni a dei. Hattoteh na tuk awh han, a la awh vaiteh hmai a sawi awh han. Hahoi Judah khopui kingdi sak han telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
Behold, I will command, saith Jehovah, and cause them to return to this city, and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant.
