Jeremiah 34
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, all his army, all the earthly kingdoms under his control, and all the other nations were fighting against Jerusalem and all its surrounding cities.
Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar chu alengvaipohna gamho’a kon in asepai jouse toh ahung kon in, Jerusalem leh akimvel’a khopi ho douna gal asattai. Hichepet chun Pakaiyin Jeremiah henga hitin aseiye.
2 The LORD, the God of Israel, told Jeremiah to go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah and tell him that this is what the LORD says: “Behold, I am about to deliver this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it down.
Zedekiah lengpa henga gachenlang hitin gaseiyin; “Pakai Israel Pathen chun aseiye, keiman hiche khopi hi Babylon lengpa khut a kapehdoh ahitai, chule aman meiya agovam ding ahi.
3 And you yourself will not escape his grasp, but will surely be captured and delivered into his hand. You will see the king of Babylon eye to eye and speak with him face to face; and you will go to Babylon.
Chule nangjong ama-a kon’a najamdoh louhel ding, nakimandoh ding chuleh Babylon lengpa toh nakimaito teiding ahi. Chuteng Babylon gam’a sohchanga nakikaimang ding ahi.
4 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah. This is what the LORD says concerning you: You will not die by the sword;
Amavang, vo Judah lengpa Zedekiah, Pakai thutep hi ngaiyin, Nangma galmun’a nathilou ding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
5 you will die in peace. As spices were burned for your fathers, the former kings who preceded you, so people will burn spices for you and lament, ‘Alas, O master!’ For I Myself have spoken this word, declares the LORD.”
Nangma lungmong tah a nathiding ahinai. Napu napate leng masaho kibolna banga mihon gimnamtwi ahin hal uva, nathilong a-op diu; Amaho chu nachung a lainatah’a kapdiu, ohe, ilengpau athitai, atidiu ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye, ati.
6 In Jerusalem, then, Jeremiah the prophet relayed all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah
Hichun Jeremiah themgao pan, Pakai thusei chu Zedekiah lengpa henga agaseitai.
7 as the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and the remaining cities of Judah—against Lachish and Azekah. For these were the only fortified cities remaining in Judah.
Hichepet chun, Babylon lengpa sepaihon Jerusalem leh Judah gamsunga kulpi kikaikhuma kisuse nailou khopi Lachish leh Azekah teni jong chu ahindel khum un gal in asattauvin ahi.
8 After King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem to proclaim liberty, the word came to Jeremiah from the LORD
Chuin Zedekiah lengpan agamsung mipite toh kitepna khat asemdoh in; soh’a kivul ho jalen nading thu aphon doh jou chun, Pakaiyin Jeremiah henga hitin ahinseiyin ahi.
9 that each man should free his Hebrew slaves, both male and female, and no one should hold his fellow Jew in bondage.
Aman amitakip henga thupeh aneiyin, Hebrew mi soh’a kivul jouse, numei hihen pasal hijongle, abon’a alha-ong diuvin thupeh aneiyin ahi. Koiman anammi Hebrew mi chu soh a aneithei louhel ding ahi, tin aseitai.
10 So all the officials and all the people who entered into this covenant agreed that they would free their menservants and maidservants and no longer hold them in bondage. They obeyed and released them,
Chuin leng chapaten jong chule mipiten jong, abonchauvin lengpa thupeh chu ajuicheh uvin, asohteu chu abonchauvin achamlhat sah tauve.
11 but later they changed their minds and took back the menservants and maidservants they had freed, and they forced them to become slaves again.
Ahin khonung in, amahon alung’u akhelkit uvin, alha-ongsau soh numeiho le pasal hochu, abon uvin anung mat kit uvin, soh in aneikittauve.
12 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Hijeh chun Pakaiyin Jeremiah henga hitin aseitai.
13 “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I made a covenant with your forefathers when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, saying:
Pakai Israel Pathen chun hitin aseiye, Keiman napu napateu chu asohchannau Egypt gam’a kon’a kahuh doh chun, amaho toh kitepna khat kana semdoh in ahi.
14 Every seventh year, each of you must free his Hebrew brother who has sold himself to you. He may serve you six years, but then you must let him go free. But your fathers did not listen or incline their ear.
Keiman napu napateu jah’a, kumgup nasoh uva pangsa Hebrew mi poupou, kumgup sehleh nalha-ong uva nachamlhat sah teitei diu ahi, kati. Ahivangin amahon kathusei ho ngai nahsah in aneipouve.
15 Recently you repented and did what pleased Me; each of you proclaimed freedom for his neighbor. You made a covenant before Me in the house that bears My Name.
Tunin nanghon kathupeh bangin lung naheiyun, Israel in nakom’a soh a umho lhadoh dingin nakinopto sohtauve. Nanghon keima houin sung laitah’a, ikihounau bangin kitepna khat nasemtauve.
16 But now you have changed your minds and profaned My name. Each of you has taken back the menservants and maidservants whom you had set at liberty to go wherever they wanted, and you have again forced them to be your slaves.
Ahinlah, nanghon lung nakhel kit un, nakitepnau nasukeh uvin, nalhadohsau soh numeiho leh soh pasal ho jouse, nanung mat kit uvin, nasoh uvin napansah kit uvin, kamin chu nasunoh tauvin ahi.
17 Therefore this is what the LORD says: You have not obeyed Me; you have not proclaimed freedom, each man for his brother and for his neighbor. So now I proclaim freedom for you, declares the LORD—freedom to fall by sword, by plague, and by famine! I will make you a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth.
Hijeh chun Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Nanghon kathupehsa nanam chanpi ho soh’a kon’a nachamlhat sah diu ahi, kati chu najuitapouve. Keiman nangho gal a mangthah ding, kelthoh a genthei ding chule natlesat thigam dinga kalha-ong diu nahitauve. Chutahle vannoiya namtin vaipin natijat pi uva nakidah diu ahi.
18 And those who have transgressed My covenant and have not fulfilled the terms of the covenant they made before Me, I will treat like the calf they cut in two in order to pass between its pieces.
Nanghon ikitepnau nasukehtauve. Nanghon nakihahsel uva bongnou nahapsat uva, akah’a nakijot bang uva chu, keiman nangho kahapsat ding nahiuve.
19 The officials of Judah and Jerusalem, the court officials, the priests, and all the people of the land who passed between the pieces of the calf,
Keiman nangho kasattel diu, vaipo ho, thempuho chule mipite jouse, bongnou kisattel banga kasattel diu ahi. ajeh chu nanghon nakitepnau nasukehtauve.
20 I will deliver into the hands of their enemies who seek their lives. Their corpses will become food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth.
Keiman nanghon namelmateu khut a kapehdoh u nahitai. Amahon namat uva nathadiu, chule natahsa uchu gamsaho leh vachaten anehdiu ahi.
21 And I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah and his officials into the hands of their enemies who seek their lives, to the army of the king of Babylon that had withdrawn from you.
Keiman Judah lengpa Zedekiah leh avaipote abonchauva, nanghoa kon’a kinungtolsa Babylon lengpa khut a kapehdoh ding ahi.
22 Behold, I am going to give the command, declares the LORD, and I will bring them back to this city. They will fight against it, capture it, and burn it down. And I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.”
Keiman Babylon sepaite kalekou kit ding; Amahon hiche khopihi ahin delkhum diu, meiya ahalvam diu ahi. Hitia chu Judah gamsung khopi jouse kasuhmang ding, chule beihel a ahomkeova kakoi ding ahi, ati.
