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 unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, —when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his force and all the kingdoms of the earth the dominion of his hand, and all the peoples were fighting against Jerusalem and against all her cities, 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 Yahweh God of Israel, Go and speak unto Zedekiah king of Judah, —and say unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, Behold me! giving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will 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, For thou shalt be, taken, And into his hand, shalt thou be delivered, —And, thine own eyes, into the eyes of the king of Babylon, shall look, And his mouth, with thy mouth, shall speak And Babylon, shalt thou enter.
4 Hateiteh, oe Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah, BAWIPA e lawk thaihaw, nange kong dawk BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, tahloi hoi na dout mahoeh.
Nevertheless, hear the word of Yahweh, O Zedekiah, king of Judah, —Thus, saith Yahweh 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 with the burnings made for thy fathers the former kings who were before thee, so, shall they make a burning unto thee, And, with an, Alas lord! shall they lament thee, —Because of the word, I, have spoken, Declareth Yahweh.
6 Babilon siangpahrang ransahunaw ni Jerusalem hoi kacawirae Judah khopuinaw pueng, Lakhish hoi Azek a tuk awh navah,
Then spake Jeremiah the prophet, unto Zedekiah king of Judah all these words in 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.
when, the force of the king of Babylon, was fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, —against Lachish and against Azekah, for they, remained among the cities of Judah as fortified cities.
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 unto Jeremiah, from Yahweh, —after that King Zedekiah had solemnised a covenant with all the people who were in Jerusalem, proclaiming unto them liberty:
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 man should let his servant and every man his handmaid, being a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free, —so that no man should use them as slaves, to wit a Jew his brother;
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.
so then they hearkened—even all the princes and all the people who had entered into the covenant that every man should let his servant and every man his handmaid, go free, so as not to use them as slaves, any longer, —yea they hearkened, 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.
howbeit they turned after that, and brought back the servants and the handmaids whom they had let go, free, and brought them into subjection as servants and as handmaids,
12 Hat toteh, BAWIPA koehoi BAWIPA e lawk Jeremiah koevah a pha.
So then the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying:
13 Isarel BAWIPA Cathut ni hettelah a dei, Izip ram santoungnae thung hoi na tâcokhai hnin dawk, na kakhekungnaw koe vah,
Thus, saith Yahweh God of Israel, —I myself, solemnised a covenant with your fathers, in the day when I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slaves saying:
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, shall ye let go every man his brother, being a Hebrew, who shall sell himself unto thee and serve thee, six years, then shalt thou let him go, free, from thee, Howbeit your fathers hearkened not unto me neither 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, though, ye, just now turned and did that which was right in mine eyes, by proclaiming liberty, every man to his neighbour, —and solemnised a covenant before me, in the house on which my Name hath been called,
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.
yet have ye turned and profaned my Name, and brought back, every man his servant and every man his hand-maid, whom ye had let go, free, at their own desire, —and have brought them into subjection, to become your servants and handmaids.
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 Yahweh, Ye, have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every man to his brother and every man to his neighbour: Behold me! proclaiming, to you, a liberty: Declareth Yahweh unto the sword, unto the pestilence, and unto the famine, so will I make you a terror to 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 will give the men who are transgressing my covenant, in that they have not confirmed the words of the covenant, which they solemnised, before me, when they cut the calf, 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,
even the princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs and the priests, and all the people of the land, —who 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.
yea I will give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them who are seeking their life, —and their dead bodies shall become food for the birds of the heavens, 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.
Zedekiah king of Judah also with his princes, will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them who are seeking their life, —even into the hand of the force of the king of Babylon, who are going 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 me! giving command, Declareth Yahweh, and I will bring them back unto this city, and they will fight against it and capture it, and consume it with fire, —and, the cities of Judah, will I make too desolate to have an inhabitant.
