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:
Judah manghai Josiah capa Jehoiakim kah ram a tongcuek vaengah he ol he BOEIPA taeng lamloh Jeremiah taengla ha pawk.
2 “Thus says the Lord to me: Make bands and chains for yourself. And you shall place them on your neck.
BOEIPA loh kai taengah he ni a thui. “Namah ham kuelrhui neh hnokohcung te saii lamtah na rhawn ah tloeng laeh.
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.
Te te Edom manghai taengah, Moab manghai taengah, Ammon koca rhoek kah manghai taengah, Tyre manghai taengah, Sidon manghai taeng neh Jerusalem la aka pawk puencawn kut lamloh, Judah manghai Zedekiah taengah pat laeh.
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:
Te vaengah a boei rhoek yueng la amih te uen pah lamtah, ‘Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh a thui he na boei rhoek taengah thui pah,’ ti nah.
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.
Kai loh diklai hlang neh diklai hman kah rhamsa he ka saii coeng. Ka thadueng tanglue neh, ka ban neh ka thueng tih ka mik neh dueng ka ti taengah te ka paek.
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.
He kah Khohmuen boeih he ka sal Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar kut ah ka paek pawn ni. Kohong kah mulhing pataeng khaw anih taengah thohtat ham a taengah ka paek ni.
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 te namtom boeih neh a ca long khaw, a ca kah ca long khaw, a khohmuen la a pawk tue hil thotat uh ni. Amah long khaw a taengah namtom cungkuem neh manghai tanglue rhoek te a thohtat sak van ni.
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.
Tedae Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar amah taengah aka thotat pawh namtom neh ram khaw om vetih Babylon manghai kah hnamkun hmuiah a rhawn duen mahpawh. A kut te amih ka cung sak duela namtom te cunghang neh, khokha neh, duektahaw neh ka cawh ni. Te tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
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.’
Te dongah nangmih loh na tonghma taengkah khaw, na bihma taengah khaw, na mueimang te khaw, na kutyaekso taengah khaw, na mikhoithae te khaw hnatun uh boeh. Amih loh nangmih taengah tah Babylon manghai taengah na thotat uh mahpawh,’ a ti uh tih a thui uh.
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.
Amih te nangmih taengah a honghi la tonghma uh dae nangmih te na khohmuen dong lamloh aka lakhla sak ham rhung ni. Te dongah nangmih te kang heh vetih na milh uh ni.
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.”
Tedae namtom loh Babylon manghai kah hnamkun hmuiah a rhawn a duen vetih anih taengah thotat ni. Te phoeiah amah khohmuen ah ka duem sak vetih a tawn vetih kho a sak ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
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.
He ol cungkuem vanbangla Judah manghai Zedekiah taengah ka thui coeng. Babylon manghai kah hnamkun hmuiah na rhawn te duen uh. Amah taengah thotat uh lamtah a pilnam khaw hing saeh,’ ti nah.
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?
Balae tih namah neh na pilnam te cunghang neh, khokha neh, duektahaw neh na duek eh. BOEIPA loh namtom taengah a thui bangla Babylon manghai taengah na thotat het mahpawt nim?
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.
Nangmih taengah, “Babylon manghai taengah na thotat mahpawh,” a ti tih aka thui tonghma ol te hnatun boeh. Amih te a honghi lam ni nangmih taengah a tonghma uh.
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.”
He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Amih te kan tueih ngawn moenih. Tedae nangmih te kai kah a heh tangloeng ham ni kai ming neh a honghi la a tonghma uh. Te dongah namamih neh nangmih taengkah aka tonghma tonghma rhoek khaw na milh uh ni.
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.
Ka thui he khosoih rhoek taeng neh pilnam boeih taengah thui pah, he tah BOEIPA long ni a thui. Nangmih taengah aka tonghma na tonghma rhoek ol te hnatun boeh. BOEIPA im kah hnopai tah Babylon lamloh tahae ah pahoi ha mael ke,’ a ti uh dae amih te a honghi lam ni nangmih taengah a tonghma uh.
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?
Amih ol te hnatun boeh, Babylon manghai taengah thotat uh lamtah hing uh palueng. Balae tih he khopuei loh imrhong la a om eh?
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.
Amih te a tonghma uh atah, amih taengah BOEIPA ol a om atah. Caempuei BOEIPA te hloep laeh saeh. BOEIPA im neh Judah manghai im kah, Jerusalem kah aka sueng hnopai tah Babylon la cet boel saeh.
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,
Te dongah caempuei BOEIPA loh tung kawng neh tuitunli kawng khaw, tungkho kawng neh he khopuei ah a caknoi hnopai ngancawn kawng khaw a thui.
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:
Te rhoek te Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh a khuen moenih. Judah manghai Jehoiakim capa Jekoniah, Judah hlangcoelh boeih neh Jerusalem rhoek ni Jerusalem lamloh Babylon la a poelyoe.
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:
Te dongah Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh BOEIPA im a caknoi hnopai neh Judah manghai im neh Jerusalem kawng te a thui.
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.
Babylon la a khuen uh vetih amih ham kamah loh thoelh khohnin duela pahoi om uh ni. Tedae BOEIPA kah olphong neh amih te ka caeh puei vetih amih te he hmuen la ka mael sak ni.
