< Jeremiah 26 >
1 When Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, first became king, this word came from the Lord, saying,
Judah manghai Josiah capa Jehoiakim a manghai cuek vaengah he ol he BOEIPA taeng lamloh thui hamla ha pawk.
2 This is what the Lord has said: Take your place in the open square of the Lord's house and say to all the towns of Judah, who come into the Lord's house for worship, everything I give you orders to say to them: keep back not a word;
BOEIPA loh, “BOEIPA im kah vongup ah pai lamtah BOEIPA im ah bawk hamla aka pawk Judah khopuei boeih te thui pah. Amih taengah thui ham nang kang uen ol boeih tah ol te yuek boeh.
3 It may be that they will give ear, and that every man will be turned from his evil way, so that my purpose of sending evil on them because of the evil of their doings may be changed.
A hnatun uh tih hlang loh a boethae longpuei lamloh mael uh khaming. Te daengah ni a khoboe thaenah hmai ah boethae neh amih saii ham ka moeh te ko ka hlawt eh.
4 And you are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: If you do not give ear to me and go in the way of my law which I have put before you,
BOEIPA loh a thui he amih taengah thui pah. Nangmih mikhmuh ah kang khueh ka olkhueng dongah pongpa ham kai ol he na hnatun pawt atah,
5 And give ear to the words of my servants the prophets whom I send to you, getting up early and sending them, though you gave no attention;
Ka sal rhoek kah ol te hnatun sak ham kai loh nangmih taengah tonghma te kan tueih. Ka thoh neh kan tueih akhaw na yaak uh moenih.
6 Then I will make this house like Shiloh, and will make this town a curse to all the nations of the earth.
Te dongah he im he Shiloh bangla ka khueh vetih he khopuei rhoe he diklai namtom boeih taengah rhunkhuennah la ka khueh ni,” a ti.
7 And in the hearing of the priests and the prophets and all the people, Jeremiah said these words in the house of the Lord.
Jeremiah loh BOEIPA im ah he ol a thui te khosoih rhoek, tonghma rhoek neh pilnam pum loh a yaak.
8 Now, when Jeremiah had come to the end of saying everything the Lord had given him orders to say to all the people, the priests and the prophets and all the people took him by force, saying, Death will certainly be your fate.
Pilnam boeih taengah thui ham BOEIPA loh a uen boeih thui ham khaw Jeremiah loh a bawt sak ham a om coeng. Te vaengah anih te khosoih rhoek, tonghma rhoek neh pilnam boeih loh a tuuk uh tih, “Duek khaw duek laeh.
9 Why have you said in the name of the Lord, This house will be like Shiloh, and this land a waste with no one living in it? And all the people had come together to Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.
Balae tih BOEIPA ming neh na tonghma vaengah, “He im he Shiloh bangla om ni, he khopuei khaw khosa a om pawt la a khah ni, ' na ti,” a ti nauh. Te vaengah pilnam boeih loh Jeremiah te BOEIPA im ah a tingtun thiluh.
10 And the rulers of Judah, hearing of these things, came up from the king's house to the house of the Lord, and took their seats by the new door of the Lord's house.
Te olka te Judah mangpa rhoek loh a yaak uh tih BOEIPA im kah manghai im lamloh cet uh. Te phoeiah BOEIPA vongka thai thohka ah ngol uh.
11 Then the priests and the prophets said to the rulers and to all the people, The right fate for this man is death; for he has said words against this town in your hearing.
Te phoeiah khosoih rhoek neh tonghma rhoek loh mangpa rhoek neh pilnam boeih taengah a thui uh tih, “Na hna neh na yaak uh bangla he khopuei a tonghma thil dongah he hlang ham laitloeknah tah dueknah ni aka om coeng,” a ti uh.
12 Then Jeremiah said to all the rulers and to all the people, The Lord has sent me as his prophet to say against this house and against this town all the words which have come to your ears.
Tedae Jeremiah loh mangpa boeih taeng neh pilnam boeih taengah a thui pah tih, “He im neh he khopuei he tonghma thil ham ni BOEIPA loh kai tueih. Tekah ol cungkuem te na yaak uh coeng.
13 So now, make a change for the better in your ways and your doings, and give ear to the voice of the Lord your God; then the Lord will let himself be turned from the decision he has made against you for evil.
Na longpuei neh na khoboe te tlaih uh laeh lamtah BOEIPA na Pathen ol te hnatun uh. Te daengah ni nangmih taengah a thui bangla yoethae kawng te BOEIPA loh ko a hlawt eh.
14 As for me, here I am in your hands: do with me whatever seems good and right in your opinion.
Kai aih he, nangmih kut dongkah kai aih he. Then na ti bangla, nangmih mik ah thuem na ti bangla kai taengah saii uh.
15 Only be certain that, if you put me to death, you will make yourselves and your town and its people responsible for the blood of one who has done no wrong: for truly, the Lord has sent me to you to say all these words in your ears.
Tedae na ming khaw na ming uh coeng. Kai he nan duek sak uh cakhaw ommongsitoe thii te namamih long ni namamih so neh he khopuei so neh a khuikah khosa rhoek soah na khueh uh eh. He ol cungkuem he nangmih hna dongah thui ham ni BOEIPA loh kai he nangmih taengah oltak la n'tueih,” a ti nah.
16 Then the rulers and all the people said to the priests and the prophets, It is not right for this man to be put to death: for he has said words to us in the name of the Lord our God.
Te vaengah mangpa rhoek neh pilnam boeih loh khosoih rhoek taeng neh tonghma taengah, “Dueknah neh laitloeknah tah he kah hlang ham moenih, mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA ming neh mamih ham ni a thui,” a ti uh.
17 Then some of the responsible men of the land got up and said to all the meeting of the people,
Khohmuen patong rhoek khui lamkah hlang rhoek te thoo uh tih pilnam hlangping boeih te a voek uh.
18 Micah the Morashtite, who was a prophet in the days of Hezekiah, king of Judah, said to all the people of Judah, This is what the Lord of armies has said: Zion will become like a ploughed field, and Jerusalem will become a mass of broken walls, and the mountain of the house like the high places of the woodland.
“Maikah, Judah manghai Hezekiah tue vaengah tonghma la aka om Morasthite Maikah loh, Judah pilnam boeih taengah a thui pah tih, 'Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui, Zion te lohma bangla a yoe ni. Jerusalem te lairhok la poeh vetih a im tlang te hmuensang duup la poeh ni,’ a ti.
19 Did Hezekiah and all Judah put him to death? did he not in the fear of the Lord make prayer for the grace of the Lord, and the Lord let himself be turned from the decision he had made against them for evil? By this act we might do great evil against ourselves.
Anih te Judah manghai Hezekiah neh Judah pum loh na duek rhoe na duek sak uh nama? BOEIPA te a rhih moenih a? BOEIPA maelhmai te a sak pah daengah ni amih taengah a thui yoethae kawng te BOEIPA loh ko a hlawt. Tedae boethae he mamih loh mamih kah hinglu soah ni muep n'saii uh coeng.
20 And there was another man who was a prophet of the Lord, Uriah, the son of Shemaiah of Kiriath-jearim; he said against this town and against this land all the words which Jeremiah had said:
Hlang he Kiriathjearim lamloh Shemaiah capa Uriah khaw BOEIPA ming neh tonghma la om van. Te vaengah he khopuei neh he khohmuen taengah khaw Jeremiah ol bang boeih lam ni a tonghma thil coeng,” a ti nah.
21 And when his words came to the ears of Jehoiakim the king and all his men of war and his captains, the king would have put him to death; but Uriah, hearing of it, was full of fear and went in flight into Egypt:
Manghai Jehoiakim neh a hlangrhalh boeih long khaw, mangpa boeih long khaw anih ol te a yaak. Te dongah anih te duek sak ham manghai loh a tlap. Tedae Uriah loh a yaak vaengah a rhih. Te dongah yong tih Egypt la pawk.
22 And Jehoiakim the king sent Elnathan, the son of Achbor, and certain men with him, into Egypt.
Tedae manghai Jehoiakim loh Egypt hlang Akbor capa Elnathan neh amah taengkah hlang rhoek te Egypt la a thueih.
23 And they took Uriah out of Egypt and came back with him to Jehoiakim the king; who put him to death with the sword, and had his dead body put into the resting-place of the bodies of the common people.
Te dongah Uriah te Egypt lamloh a khuen uh tih Jehoiakim manghai taengla a thak uh. Te phoeiah anih te cunghang neh a ngawn tih a rhok te pilnam koca kah phuel ah a voeih.
24 But Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, gave Jeremiah his help, so that he was not given into the hands of the people to be put to death.
Tedae Shaphan capa Ahikam kut he Jeremiah taengah om dae, anih duek sak ham pilnam kut dongah pae pawh.
