Jeremiah 36
1 Hahoi, Judah Siangpahrang Josiah capa Jehoiakim abawinae kum pali navah hete lawk BAWIPA koe hoi Jeremiah koe a pha.
In the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
2 Cakalawng hah lat nateh, hot dawkvah nang koe ka dei e lawknaw pueng hoi Isarel taranlahoi thoseh, Judah taranlahoi thoseh, miphun pueng taranlahoi thoseh nang koe pasuek ka dei e hoi Josiah se koehoi sahnin totouh e lawknaw hah thun haw.
“Take a scroll and write on it all the words I have spoken to you concerning Israel, Judah, and all the nations, from the day I first spoke to you during the reign of Josiah until today.
3 Judah imthungnaw ni a lathueng hawihoehnae ka sak hanlah kakâcainaw pueng a thai awh toteh, a sak payonnae hoi yonnae naw ka ngaithoum thai nahanelah, tami pueng ni amamae hringnuen hoi yonnae hah a kâthung thai yawkaw han doeh, telah ati.
Perhaps when the people of Judah hear about all the calamity I plan to bring upon them, each of them will turn from his wicked way. Then I will forgive their iniquity and their sin.”
4 Jeremiah ni Neriah capa Baruk hah a kaw teh Baruk ni, BAWIPA e lawknaw pueng ahni koevah a dei pouh. Jeremiah e pahni dawk hoi ka tâcawt e lawknaw hah cakalawng dawk a thut.
So Jeremiah called Baruch son of Neriah, and at the dictation of Jeremiah, Baruch wrote on a scroll all the words that the LORD had spoken to Jeremiah.
5 Jeremiah ni Baruk koevah, kai teh paung e lah ka o dawkvah, BAWIPA e im dawk ka cet thai hoeh.
Then Jeremiah commanded Baruch, “I am restricted; I cannot enter the house of the LORD;
6 Hatdawkvah, nang cet nateh, BAWIPA e lawk ka pahni dawk hoi ka tâcawt ni teh cakalawng dawk na thut e BAWIPA e lawk hah rawcahai hnin BAWIPA e im dawk e tami pueng ni thainae koe touk pouh. Khopui, khote koehoi ka tho e Judah taminaw pueng ni thainae koehai touk pouh.
so you are to go to the house of the LORD on a day of fasting, and in the hearing of the people you are to read the words of the LORD from the scroll you have written at my dictation. Read them in the hearing of all the people of Judah who are coming from their cities.
7 Tami pueng ni hringnuen yonnae naw hah kamlang takhai teh BAWIPA hmalah yon pankângai lahoi a tho thai awh yawkaw han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hete taminaw lathueng vah lungkhueknae hoi lungkâannae BAWIPA im dawk dei lah kaawm e hah a pataw tangngak, telah kâ a poe.
Perhaps they will bring their petition before the LORD, and each one will turn from his wicked way; for great are the anger and fury that the LORD has pronounced against this people.”
8 Hot patetlah, Neriah capa Baruk ni, profet Jeremiah ni ahni koe kâ a poe e patetlah BAWIPA im dawk BAWIPA e lawk, cauk thung e a touk.
So Baruch son of Neriah did everything that Jeremiah the prophet had commanded him. In the house of the LORD he read the words of the LORD from the scroll.
9 Hahoi, Judah siangpahrang Josiah capa Jehoiakim abawinae kum panga, thapa yung tako nah, Jerusalem e taminaw pueng hoi Judah khopui thung e Jerusalem hoi kathonaw pueng ni rawcahai hanelah a pathang awh.
Now in the ninth month of the fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, a fast before the LORD was proclaimed to all the people of Jerusalem and all who had come there from the cities of Judah.
10 Baruk ni BAWIPA im takhang kâennae dawk a lathueng lah kaawm e ca kathutkung Shaphan capa Gemariah e imrakhan, BAWIPA im dawk kaawm e hah taminaw pueng ni thainae koe a touk.
From the chamber of Gemariah son of Shaphan the scribe, which was in the upper courtyard at the opening of the New Gate of the house of the LORD, Baruch read from the scroll the words of Jeremiah in the hearing of all the people.
11 Shaphan capa Gemariah capa Mikaiah ni cauk thung kaawm e BAWIPA e lawknaw pueng a thai toteh,
When Micaiah son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, heard all the words of the LORD from the scroll,
12 Siangpahrang im dawk a kum teh cakathutkung e imrakhan dawk a kâen. Hahoi khenhaw, hote kahrawikungnaw pueng cakathutkung Elishama, Shemaiah capa Delai, Abor capa Elnathan, Shaphan capa Gemariah, Hananiah capa Zedekiah hoi kahrawikungnaw pueng a tahung awh.
he went down to the scribe’s chamber in the king’s palace, where all the officials were sitting: Elishama the scribe, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other officials.
13 Mikaiah ni tamihunaw pueng ka thai lah Baruk ni cauk touk e kong a thai e naw pueng hah ahnimouh koe a pâpho pouh.
And Micaiah reported to them all the words he had heard Baruch read from the scroll in the hearing of the people.
14 Hatdawkvah, kahrawikungnaw pueng ni Kushi capa, Shelemiah capa, Nathaniah capa Jehudi teh Baruk koe a patoun awh teh, ahni koevah, tamihunaw pueng ni ka thai lah na touk e cauk hah hrawm nateh tho, telah atipouh awh. Hattoteh Neriah capa Baruk teh cakalawng hrawm lahoi ahnimouh koe a tho.
Then all the officials sent word to Baruch through Jehudi son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, saying, “Bring the scroll that you read in the hearing of the people, and come here.” So Baruch son of Neriah took the scroll and went to them.
15 Hahoi, ahni koevah tahung nateh kaimouh hnâthainae koe touk haw atipouh awh. Hottelah Baruk ni ahnimouh ka thai lah a touk pouh.
“Please sit down,” they said, “and read it in our hearing.” So Baruch read it in their hearing.
16 Hahoi, hote lawk a thai awh toteh, lungpuen laihoi buet touh hoi buet touh kâkhet awh teh Baruk koevah, hete hnonaw pueng heh siangpahrang ka dei pouh roeroe han, telah ati awh.
When they had heard all these words, they turned to one another in fear and said to Baruch, “Surely we must report all these words to the king.”
17 Hahoi Baruk koe, hete lawknaw pueng a pahni dawk hoi e bangtelamaw na thut, na dei pouh haw, telah a pacei awh.
“Tell us now,” they asked Baruch, “how did you write all these words? Was it at Jeremiah’s dictation?”
18 Baruk ni hete lawknaw pueng a pahni dawk hoi a dei teh cahang hoi cauk dawk ka thut e doeh, telah atipouh.
“It was at his dictation,” Baruch replied. “He recited all these words to me and I wrote them in ink on the scroll.”
19 Ahnimouh ni Baruk koevah, cet nateh Jeremiah hoi kâhrawk roi, apini na o roinae panuek hanh naseh, telah atipouh awh.
Then the officials said to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah must hide yourselves and tell no one where you are.”
20 Hote rapan thung siangpahrang teh cakathutkung Elishama e imrakhan dawk a hruek, a thung e lawknaw pueng pahni hoi siangpahrang koe a dei awh.
So the officials went to the king in the courtyard. And having stored the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, they reported everything to the king.
21 Hahoi siangpahrang ni cakalawng la hanelah Jehudi a patoun teh cakathutkung Elishama imrakhan thung e a la. Hahoi Jehudi ni siangpahrang hoi siangpahrang teng kangdout e kahrawikungnaw hnâthainae koe a touk.
Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it from the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the hearing of the king and all the officials who were standing beside him.
22 Thapa yung takonae kasik tue nah siangpahrang teh, hmaisaan a kamben.
Since it was the ninth month, the king was sitting in his winter quarters with a fire burning before him.
23 Hahoi, Jehudi ni rui hni, rui thum touh a touk toteh siangpahrang ni saraica hoi vekvek a sei teh hmai dawk a phum teh he a kak.
And as soon as Jehudi had read three or four columns, Jehoiakim would cut them off with a scribe’s knife and throw them into the firepot, until the entire scroll had been consumed by the fire.
24 Siangpahrang hoi thaw katawkkungnaw, hete lawk kathainaw pueng apinihai taket awh hoeh, a khohnanaw hai phi awh hoeh.
Yet in hearing all these words, the king and his servants did not become frightened or tear their garments.
25 Hothloilah, Elnathan hoi Delaiai hoi Gemariah tinaw ni cakalawng hmai phum hoeh nahanelah siangpahrang koe a kâhei, hatei banglah noutna hoeh.
Even though Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah urged the king not to burn the scroll, he would not listen to them.
26 Siangpahrang ni siangpahrang capa Jerahmeel hoi Azriel capa Seraiah hoi Abdel capa Shelemiah hah cakathutkung Baruk hoi profet Jeremiah man hanelah kâ a poe. Hateiteh, BAWIPA ni ahnimouh roi teh a hro.
Instead, the king commanded Jerahmeel, a son of the king, as well as Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet. But the LORD had hidden them.
27 Hote cakalawng hoi Jeremiah e pahni thung e Baruk ni a thut e lawknaw pueng siangpahrang ni hmai he a sawi hnukkhu BAWIPA e lawk Jeremiah koe a pha.
After the king had burned the scroll containing the words that Baruch had written at Jeremiah’s dictation, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
28 Cakalawng alouke lat haw. Cakalawng apasuek dawk e lawknaw pueng Judah siangpahrang Jehoiakim ni hmai a sawi e naw hah bout thun haw.
“Take another scroll and rewrite on it the very words that were on the original scroll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah has burned.
29 Hahoi, Judah siangpahrang Jehoiakim e kong dawk hettelah na dei han. BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Babilon siangpahrang a tho roeroe vaiteh, hete ram raphoe vaiteh, hete taminaw hoi saringnaw pueng he a pâmit han, telah thut e hah, bangkongmaw hot patetlae lawk na thut telah cakalawng thut e hah hmai a sawi.
You are to proclaim concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah that this is what the LORD says: You have burned the scroll and said, ‘Why have you written on it that the king of Babylon would surely come and destroy this land and deprive it of man and beast?’
30 Hatdawkvah, Judah siangpahrang Jehoiakim e kong dawk BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Devit e bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung hane tami tawn mahoeh. A ro hai kanîthun kâan poung e hoi tangmin tadamtui um vah tâkhawng lah ao han.
Therefore this is what the LORD says about Jehoiakim king of Judah: He will have no one to sit on David’s throne, and his body will be thrown out and exposed to heat by day and frost by night.
31 Hahoi a yonnae dawkvah ama hoi a catounnaw hoi a thaw katawknaw ka rek han. Hahoi amamouh hoi Jerusalem vah kho kasaknaw hoi Judahnaw e lathueng ahnimouh koe ka pâpho pouh e hoi a thai ngai awh hoeh e hawihoehnae pueng ka pha sak han, telah ati.
I will punish him and his descendants and servants for their iniquity. I will bring on them, on the residents of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the calamity about which I warned them but they did not listen.”
32 Hottelah Jeremiah ni cakalawng alouke a la teh cakathutkung Neriah capa Baruk koe a poe. Ahni ni hawvah Jeremiah e pahni dawk hoi ka tâcawt e cakalawng dawk thut e naw pueng Jehoiakim ni hmaisawi e lawk hah bout a thut e hloilah hot hoi kâvan e lawknaw moikapap a thut sin.
Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to the scribe Baruch son of Neriah, and at Jeremiah’s dictation he wrote on it all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire. And many similar words were added to them.
