Jeremiah 42
1 Kahrawikungnaw hoi Koreah capa Johanan hoi Hoshaiah capa Jezaniah hoi taminaw pueng, kathoengca koehoi kalenpoung totouh a kamkhueng awh.
Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, came 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 said to Jeremiah the prophet, "Please let our petition be presented before you, and pray for us to the LORD your God, even for all this remnant; for we are left but a few of many, as your eyes do see us:
3 BAWIPA na Cathut ni ka cei awh nahane hoi ka tawksak awh hane na hmusak nahanelah, telah ati awh.
that the LORD your God may show us the way in which we should walk, and the thing that we should do."
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 heard you; look, I will pray to the LORD your God according to your words; and it shall happen that whatever thing the LORD shall answer you, I will declare it to you; I will keep nothing back 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.
Then they said to Jeremiah, "The LORD be a true and faithful witness among us, if we do not do according to all the word with which the LORD your God shall send 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 be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the LORD our God."
7 Hahoi, hnin hra hnukkhu, BAWIPA e lawk Jeremiah koe a pha.
It happened after ten days, that 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,
Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces 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 said to them, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your petition before him:
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 will still live in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I grieve over the distress that I have brought on 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 of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid; do not be afraid of him, says the LORD: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver 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.
I will grant you mercy, that he may have mercy on you, and cause you to return to 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 dwell in this land'; so that you do not obey the voice of the LORD your 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, 'No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell':
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,
now therefore hear the word of the LORD, O remnant of Judah: Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, 'If you indeed set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to live there;
16 na taki awh e tahloi ni Izip ram vah a pha vaiteh, hawvah na due awh han.
then it shall happen, that the sword, which you fear, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, about which you are afraid, shall follow close behind you there 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.
So shall it be with all the men who set their faces to go into Egypt to live there: they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring on 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: 'As my anger and my wrath has been poured forth on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall my wrath be poured forth on you, when you shall enter into Egypt; and you shall be an object of horror, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and you shall see this place no more.'
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.
The LORD has spoken concerning you, remnant of Judah, 'Do not go into Egypt': know certainly that I have testified 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 dealt deceitfully against your own souls; for you sent me to the LORD your God, saying, 'Pray for us to the LORD our God; and according to all that the LORD our God shall say, so declare 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 this day declared it to you; but you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God in anything for 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.
Now therefore know certainly that you shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place where you desire to go to live there."
