Jeremiah 27
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:
Josiah capa Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah siangpahrang ah oh amtong nathuem ah, Angraeng ih lok Jeremiah khaeah angzoh,
2 “Thus says the Lord to me: Make bands and chains for yourself. And you shall place them on your neck.
Angraeng mah, kai khaeah, Qui hoi hnam to sah ah loe, na tahnong nuiah koeng ah,
3 And you shall send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the sons of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who came to Jerusalem, to Zedekiah, the king of Judah.
to pacoengah to qui hoi hnam to Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tura hoi Sidon siangpahrangnawk khaeah pat paeh. To prae hoi angzo siangpahrang ih laicaehnawk loe Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah tongh hanah Jerusalem ah oh o.
4 And you shall instruct them to say to their masters: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: You shall say these things to your masters:
Nihcae mah angmacae ukkung angraengnawk khaeah, Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah, Nangmacae ukkung angraengnawk khaeah,
5 I made the earth, and the men and beasts which are upon the face of the earth, by my great strength and by my outstretched arm. And I have given it to whomever it was pleasing in my eyes.
kaimah ni thacak parai ban to payangh moe, long hoi a nuiah kaom kaminawk hoi taw ah kaom moisannawk boih to ka sak; kai loe paek koeh ih kaminawk khaeah ka paek, tiah thuih, tiah thui pae oh, tiah a naa.
6 And now, therefore, I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant. Moreover, I have given to him also the beasts of the field, so that they may serve him.
Ka tamna, Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar khaeah vaihi hae praenawk hae ka paek boih boeh; a tok sak pae o hanah taw ih moinawk doeh anih hanah ka paek boeh.
7 And all the nations will serve him, and his son, and his son’s son. Many nations and great kings will serve him, until the time arrives for him and his land.
Anih ih prae boenghaih pha ai karoek to prae kaminawk boih mah, anih ih tok, a caanawk ih tok, a caanawk ih caa patoeng ih tok to sah pae o tih; pop parai kaminawk hoi lensawk siangpahrangnawk mah doeh anih ih tok to sah pae o tih.
8 But the nation or kingdom that will not serve Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and whoever will not bend his neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, I will visit upon that nation with the sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, says the Lord, until I consume them by his hand.
Toe, Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar ih tok to sak koeh ai moe, anih ih hmuen phawh koeh ai kami hoi praenawk boih loe, anih ban ah kam rosak han: to prae to Nebuchadnezzar hanah sumsen hoi ka tuksak moe, khokhahaih hoiah maw, kasae nathaih hoiah maw ka dueksak han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih, tiah thui paeh oh, tiah a naa.
9 Therefore, you should not choose to listen to your own prophets, and diviners, and dreamers, and soothsayers, and sorcerers, who say to you: ‘You shall not serve the king of Babylon.’
To pongah Babylon siangpahrang ih tok to sah pae o hmah, tiah nangcae khaeah kathui, nangmacae ih tahmaanawk, hmabang angzo han koi thui kaminawk, amang sah kaminawk, taqawk kawk thaih kaminawk, adoi sah kop kaminawk ih lok to tahngai o hmah.
10 For they prophesy lies to you, so that they may cause you to be far from your own country, and may cast you out, and may cause you to perish.
Nihcae ih amsawnlok to na tahngaih o nahaeloe, prae kangthla ah kang thak o moe, kang haek o han, to tiah nangcae loe nang hmaa nang taa o tih.
11 Furthermore, the nation which will bend its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and which will serve him, I will permit them to remain in their own land, says the Lord. And they will cultivate it, and they will live in it.”
Toe Babylon siangpahrang ih lok to tahngaih moe, anih ih hmuen phaw kami, anih ih toksah kaminawk loe angmacae prae ah kho ka saksak han; nihcae loe to ah toksah o ueloe, khosah o tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
12 And I spoke to Zedekiah, the king of Judah, according to all these words, saying: “Subject your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and you will live.
Hae loknawk hae Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah khaeah doeh ka thuih pae; Babylon siangpahrang ih hmuen to phaw oh, anih hoi anih kaminawk ih tok to sah pae oh, to tiah nahaeloe na hing o tih, tiah ka naa.
13 Why should you suffer death, you and your people, by the sword, and famine, and pestilence, just as the Lord has spoken against any nation that refuses to serve the king of Babylon?
Babylon siangpahrang ih toksak koeh ai prae kaminawk loe, Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, nangmah hoi nangmah ih kaminawk loe sumsen, khokhahaih hoi kasae nathaih hoiah dueh ai ah om o tih maw?
14 Do not choose to listen to the words of the prophets, saying to you: ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon.’ For they are speaking a lie to you.
To pongah Babylon siangpahrang ih tok to sah pae o hmah, tiah nangcae khaeah thui, tahmaanawk ih lok to tahngai o hmah, nihcae mah amsawnlok ni ang thuih o.
15 For I have not sent them, says the Lord. And they prophesy falsely in my name, so that they may cast you out, and so that you may perish, both you and the prophets who make predictions for you.”
Nangcae khaeah lok kathui tahmaanawk loe Kai ih ahmin hoiah amsawnlok ni a thuih o, nihcae to ka patoeh ai; nihcae ih lok baktiah na sak o nahaeloe, nangcae hoi nangcae khaeah lokthui tahmaanawk to prae kangthla ah ka haek moe, kang hmatsak han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih, tiah ka thuih pae.
16 I spoke also to the priests and to this people, saying: “Thus says the Lord: Do not choose to listen to the words of your prophets, who prophesy to you, saying: ‘Behold, the vessels of the Lord will now quickly be returned from Babylon.’ For they are prophesying to you a lie.
To pacoengah qaimanawk hoi kaminawk boih khaeah, Khenah, Angraeng mah, akra ai ah Angraeng imthung ih laom sabaenawk to Babylon hoiah sin o boih let tih, tiah lok kathui tahmaanawk ih lok to tahngai o hmah; nangcae khaeah amsawnlok ni ang thuih o, tiah Angraeng mah thuih, tiah ka naa.
17 Therefore, do not choose to listen to them, but instead, serve the king of Babylon, so that you may live. Why should this city be given over into desolation?
Nihcae ih lok to tahngai o hmah; na hing o hanah Babylon siangpahrang ih tok to sah pae oh; to tiah na sah o ai nahaeloe hae vangpui hae amrosak boih mak ai maw?
18 But if they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is in them, then let them intercede before the Lord of hosts, so that the vessels that were left behind in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, may not go to Babylon.
Nihcae loe tahmaa ah oh o moe, Angraeng ih lok to thuih hanah tawn o tangtang nahaeloe, Jerusalem ih Angraeng im hoi Judah siangpahrang im ih kanghmat laom sabaenawk Babylon ah caeh o haih han ai ah, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng khaeah tahmenhaih hni o nasoe.
19 For thus says the Lord of hosts to the pillars, and to the sea of brass, and to the bases, and to the remainder of the vessels that have been left behind in this city,
Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar mah, Judah ih angraengnawk, Jerusalem ih angraengnawk hoi nawnto, Jehoiakim capa, Judah siangpahrang Jekoniah Jerusalem hoi Babylon ah misong ah caeh haih naah, hae vangpui thungah kaom tungnawk, tuipui, angthui thaih imcih angdoethaih tungnawk hoi kanghmat laom sabaenawk to la boih ai, Angraeng ih im, Jerusalem ah kaom Judah siangpahrang im ah atho kana hmuemaenawk to a caehtaak mang vop, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih;
20 which Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, did not take when he carried away Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, from Jerusalem into Babylon, with all the nobility of Judah and Jerusalem:
21 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to the vessels that were left behind in the house of the Lord and in the house of the king of Judah and Jerusalem:
22 They shall be carried away to Babylon, and there they shall be, until the day of their visitation, says the Lord. And then I will cause them to be carried back, and to be restored to this place.
toe vaihi loe to hmuennawk to Babylon ah caeh o haih tih boeh, ka kawkhaih atue pha ai karoek to, to ah om o tih; to pacoengah kam laem haih let moe, hae ahmuen ah ka suek let han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih, tiah ka thuih pae.
