Jeremias 40
1 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias the second time, when he was yet bound in the court of the prison, saying,
Ramah kah Imtawt boeiping Nebuzaradan loh Jerusalem neh Judah hlangsol boeih lakli kah thirhui neh a khih te a loh tih Babylon la a poelyoe. Tedae Jeremiah amah a hlah hnukah BOEIPA taengkah ol ha pawk.
2 Thus saith the Lord, who made the earth and formed it, to establish it; the Lord is his name;
Imtawt boeiping loh Jeremiah te a loh tih a taengah, “BOEIPA na Pathen loh he hmuen he thae a phoei coeng.
3 Cry to me, and I will answer thee, and I will declare to thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
BOEIPA taengah na tholh uh dongah ni a thui bangla BOEIPA loh a thoeng sak tih a saii. A ol te na hnatun uh pawt dongah ni he ol he a ol bangla nangmih taengah a thoeng.
4 For thus saith the Lord concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the king of Juda, which have been pulled down for mounds and fortifications,
Tihnin ah na kut dongkah thirhui dong lamloh nang kan hlam coeng ne. Na mik dongah a then atah kamah taengah Babylon la na lo mako. Na lo vaengah ka mik he nang soah ka khueh bitni. Tedae na mik ah a thae atah kai taengah Babylon la na lo ham khaw paa mai. Khohmuen pum he na mikhmuh ah na hmuh coeng. Na mikhmuh ah a then ham neh a thuem ham atah cet khaw cet mai.
5 to fight against the Chaldeans, and to fill it with the corpses of men, whom I smote in mine anger and my wrath, and turned away my face from them, for all their wickedness:
Tedae na caeh pawt dongah Shaphan koca Ahikam capa Gedaliah taengla cet. Anih te Babylon manghai loh Judah khopuei rhoek ham a tuek coeng. Te dongah anih neh pilnam lakli ah khosa. Na mikhmuh ah a thuem sarhui atah cet khaw cet mai,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah anih te imtawt boeiping loh buhkak neh buham a paek tih a tueih.
6 Behold, I bring upon her healing and cure, and I will show [myself] to them, and will heal her, and make both peace and security.
Te phoeiah Jeremiah te Mizpah kah Ahikam capa Gedaliah taengla cet tih khohmuen kah aka om pilnam lakli ah kho a sak.
7 And I will turn the captivity of Juda, and the captivity of Israel, and will build them, even as before.
Babylon manghai loh Ahikam capa Gedaliah te khohmuen kah ham a tuek. Babylon la a poelyoe pawh khohmuen kah khodaeng huta camoe hlang boeih anih a hung sak te kohong kah caem mangpa boeih neh a hlang rhoek loh a yaak uh.
8 And I will cleanse them from all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned against me, and will not remember their sins, whereby they have sinned against me, and revolted from me.
Te dongah Mizpah kah Gedaliah taengla Nethaniah capa Ishmael, Kareah capa Johanan neh Jonathan, Tanhumeth capa Seraiah, Netophah koca ah Netophah Ephai, Maakathi capa Jezaniah neh a hlang rhoek te ha pawk uh.
9 And it shall be for joy and praise, and for glory to all the people of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I will do: and they shall fear and be provoked for all the good things and for all the peace which I will bring upon them.
Te vaengah amih ham te Shaphan koca Ahikam capa Gedaliah loh a toemngam tih a hlang rhoek taengah, “Khalden taengah thohtat ham te rhih boeh, a khohmuen ah kho na sak uh tih Babylon manghai taengah na thohtat uh daengah ni, nangmih ham a voelphoeng eh.
10 Thus saith the Lord; There shall yet be heard in this place, of which ye say, it is destitute of men and cattle, in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem, [the places] that have been made desolate for want of men and cattle,
Kai kamah he mamih taengla aka pawk Khalden rhoek kah a hmai ah aka pai ham ni Mizpah ah ka om. Tedae nangmih tah khohal misur neh situi te tung uh lamtah na ampul khuiah khueh uh. Na khopuei ah te khosa uh lamtah lo uh.
11 the voice of gladness, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of men saying, Give thanks to the Lord Almighty: for the Lord is good; for his mercy [endures] fore ever: and they shall bring gifts into the house of the Lord; for I will turn all the captivity of that land as before, said the Lord.
Babylon manghai loh Judah ah a meet a paih tih amih ham Shaphan koca Ahikam capa Gedaliah a khueh te Moab neh Ammon koca rhoek taengah, Edom neh diklai pum kah Judah boeih long khaw a yaak uh.
12 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; There shall yet be in this place, that is desert for want of man and beast, in all the cities thereof, resting-places for shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
Te dongah Judah rhoek he hmuen takuem lamloh boeih mael uh. Te ah te a heh uh coeng dae Judah khohmuen Mizpah kah Gedaliah taengla ha pawk uh. Te dongah khohal misur khaw a coi uh tih muep kum uh.
13 In the cities of the hill country, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the [cities] round about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Juda, flocks shall yet pass under the hand of him that numbers [them], saith the Lord.
Te phoeiah kohong kah Kareah capa Johanan neh caem mangpa boeih khaw Mizpah kah Gedaliah taengla pawk uh.
Te vaengah anih te, “Ammon koca kah manghai Baalis loh na hinglu ngawn ham Nethaniah capa Ishmael han tueih te na ming khaw na ming van nim,” a ti nauh. Tedae Ahikam capa Gedaliah loh amih te a tangnah moenih.

Ahikam capa Gedaliah loh Kareah capa Johanan te, “Te hno te saii rhoe saii boeh, Ishmael kawng te a honghi ni na thui,” a ti nah.
