Jeremiah 42
1 Kahrawikungnaw hoi Koreah capa Johanan hoi Hoshaiah capa Jezaniah hoi taminaw pueng, kathoengca koehoi kalenpoung totouh a kamkhueng awh.
And all the leaders of the warriors, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Azariah, the son of Hoshaiah, and the rest of the common people, from the least even to the greatest, drew near.
2 Profet Jeremiah koevah, na hmalah pahrennae ka kâhei e naw he na dâw pouh haw. Kacawirae taminaw hanelah na Cathut koe pahrennae lahoi na ratoum pouh haw, kacawirae taminaw hanelah na Cathut koe pahren lahoi na ratoum pouh haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na hmu awh e patetlah tami moikapap thung hoi tami youn touh doeh ka o awh toe.
And they said to Jeremiah the prophet: “Let our supplication fall before your sight. And pray for us to the Lord your God, on behalf of this entire remnant. For few out of many have been left behind, just as your eyes behold us.
3 BAWIPA na Cathut ni ka cei awh nahane hoi ka tawksak awh hane na hmusak nahanelah, telah ati awh.
And so, may the Lord your God announce to us the way that we must travel, and the word that we must accomplish.”
4 Profet Jeremiah ni nangmae lawk ka thai, khenhaw! mamae lawk patetlah BAWIPA na Cathut koe ka hei han. Hahoi BAWIPA ni bout na dei pouh e naw pueng, nangmouh koe he ka dei han, nangmouh koe banghai ka pâphat mahoeh telah ati.
Then Jeremiah, the prophet, said to them: “I have listened. Behold, I will pray to the Lord your God according to your words. And whatever word he will respond to me, I will declare to you. And I will conceal nothing from you.”
5 Ahnimouh ni Jeremiah koevah, BAWIPA na Cathut ni nang hno lahoi kaimouh koe a tha e lawk patetlah ka sak awh hoehpawiteh, kaimouh rahak vah BAWIPA teh kapanuekkhaikung hoi yuemkamcu e lah awm lawiseh.
And they said to Jeremiah: “May the Lord be the witness between us of truth and fidelity, if we do not act according to whatever word the Lord your God will send by you to us.
6 BAWIPA Cathut e pahni dawk hoi ka tâcawt e ka tarawi awh toteh, kaimouh hanlah hawinae lah ao thai nahan thoseh, ahawi thoseh, na ka patoun e Cathut BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, ka tarawi awh roeroe han, telah ati awh.
Whether it is for good or for harm, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we are sending you. So may it be well with us, when we heed the voice of the Lord our God.”
7 Hahoi, hnin hra hnukkhu, BAWIPA e lawk Jeremiah koe a pha.
Then, when ten days had been completed, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah.
8 Hahoi Koreah capa Johanan hoi ahni koe e ransahu kahrawikungnaw pueng hoi ransanaw pueng kathoengca koehoi kalenpoung totouh a kaw teh,
And he called Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of warriors who were with him, and all the people, from the least even to the greatest.
9 ahnimouh koe, a hmalah pahrennae na kâheinae phasak hanelah na patounnae BAWIPA Isarel cathut ni hettelah a dei.
And he said to them: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you have sent me, so that I may present your petitions in his sight:
10 Hete ram dawk pou na awm awh pawiteh, bout na kamlang sin vaiteh, na raphoe mahoeh, bout na ung awh vaiteh, na phawng mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh lathueng hawihoehnae ka pha sak e pankângai toe.
If you dwell quietly in this land, I will build you up, and I will not tear you down. I will plant you, and I will not uproot you. For now I have been appeased by the harm that I have done to you.
11 Babilon siangpahrang ouk na taki awh e hah taket awh hanh awh, telah BAWIPA ni a dei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a kut thung hoi rungngang hane hoi rasa hanelah nangmouh koe ka o.
Do not be afraid before the face of the king of Babylon, whom you have dreaded with great fear. Do not dread him, says the Lord. For I am with you, so that I may accomplish your salvation, and so that I may rescue you from his hand.
12 Lungangnae tawn thai awh nahanlah nangmae lathueng lungmanae ka kamnue sak vaiteh, namamae ram dawk roeroe na bankhai awh han.
And I will give you mercies, and I will take pity on you, and I will cause you to live in your own land.
13 Hatei, hete ram dawk kaawm awh mahoeh telah BAWIPA na Cathut e lawk na ngai awh hoeh teh,
But if you say: ‘We will not live in this land, nor will we heed the voice of the Lord our God,’
14 Izip ram lah ka cei awh vaiteh, hawvah tarantuknae roeroe ka kâhmo awh mahoeh, mongka lawk hai ka thai awh mahoeh, vonhlam, tui kahrannae hai awm mahoeh, hote hmuen koe kho ka sak han na tet awh pawiteh,
saying: ‘Never! Instead, we will travel to the land of Egypt, where we will not see war, and we will not hear the blast of the trumpet, and we will not endure famine. And there we shall live.’
15 Oe kacawirae Judah taminaw, BAWIPA e lawk thai awh haw, ransahu BAWIPA Isarel Cathut ni hettelah a dei. Izip ram dawk kâen hane hoi khosak hanlah thama lah na ban awh pawiteh,
Because of this, hear now the word of the Lord, O remnant of Judah: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: If you set your faces so as to advance into Egypt, and if you enter so that you may live there,
16 na taki awh e tahloi ni Izip ram vah a pha vaiteh, hawvah na due awh han.
the sword which you dread will overtake you there, in the land of Egypt, and the famine, about which you are anxious, will cling to you in Egypt, and there you shall die.
17 Izip ram dawk khosak hanelah thama lah ka cet e taminaw pueng hottelah ao awh han. Tahloi, takang, lacik hoi a due awh han, hawihoehnae ahnimouh lathueng ka pha sak hane thung hoi apihai hlout mahoeh.
And all the men, who have set their faces so that they may advance to Egypt in order to live there, will die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence. None of them will remain, nor will they escape from the face of the evil that I will bring over them.
18 Ransahu BAWIPA Isarel Cathut ni hettelah a dei, Jerusalem kho ka sak e taminaw koe ka lungkhueknae ka rabawk e patetlah Izip ram na kâen awh toteh, nangmouh lathueng lungkhueknae ka rabawk han. Pathoe e, kângai ka ru e, thoebo e, hnephnap e lah na o awh vaiteh hete hmuen bout na hmawt awh mahoeh toe.
For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Just as my fury and my indignation has been enflamed over the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so will my indignation be enflamed over you, when you will have entered into Egypt. And so you will be an oath, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a disgrace. And you will never see this place again.
19 Oe kacawirae Judah taminaw, BAWIPA ni nangmouh kong dawk a dei toe. Izip ram dawk kâen hanh awh, Sahnin vah na thaisak awh tie hah pahnim roeroe hanh awh.
This is the word of the Lord concerning you, O remnant of Judah: Do not choose to enter into Egypt, for certainly you understand what I have sworn to you this day.
20 BAWIPA na Cathut koevah kai na patoun awh navah, Namamae hringnae sung hanelah namahoima na kâdum awh e doeh. Mamae BAWIPA ka Cathut kaimouh yueng ratoum haw, maimae BAWIPA Cathut ni a dei e naw pueng kaimouh koe na dei pouh haw ka sak awh han telah na ti awh.
For you have deceived your own souls. For you have sent me to the Lord our God, saying: ‘Pray on our behalf to the Lord our God. And in accord with anything whatsoever that the Lord our God will tell you, announce this to us, and we will do it.’
21 Sahnin vah nangmouh koe ka pâpho, hatei nangmouh koe na ka patoun e BAWIPA na Cathut lawk hah bout na tarawi ngai awh hoeh.
And I have announced it to you this day, and you have not heeded the voice of the Lord your God, concerning everything about which he has sent me to you.
22 Hatdawkvah, atu panuek awh, khosak hanlah na ngai awh e hmuen koe roeroe vah, tahloi, takang, lacik hoi na due awh roeroe han telah ati.
Therefore, know with certainty now, that you will die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence, in the place which you wish to enter so that you may live there.”
