Jeremiah 34
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth under his dominion, and all the peoples, fought against Jerusalem and against all the cities thereof, saying,
Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar, angmah ih misatuh kaminawk boih, a ukhaih thungah kaom praenawk boih, prae thung ih kaminawk boih mah, Jerusalem hoi ataeng ih vangpuinawk boih to tuk naah, Angraeng khae ih lok to Jeremiah khaeah angzoh,
2 Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah khaeah caeh ah loe, anih khaeah, Khenah, hae vangpui hae Babylon siangpahrang ban ah ka paek han, anih mah hmai hoiah thlaek tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
3 And thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt certainly be taken, and given into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth shall speak with thy mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
Nang loe anih ih ban thung hoiah na loih mak ai, anih mah na naeh ueloe, a ban ah paek tih; Babylon siangpahrang hoi mikhmai kang tongah, lok na thui hoi tih, nang loe Babylon ah na caeh tih.
4 Only, hear the word of Jehovah, O Zedekiah king of Judah. Thus saith Jehovah as to thee: Thou shalt not die by the sword;
Toe Aw Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah, Angraeng ih lok to tahngai ah; nang loe sumsen hoi na dueh mak ai, tiah na Angraeng mah thuih:
5 thou shalt die in peace, and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings that were before thee, so shall they burn for thee; and they will lament for thee, Ah, lord! for I have spoken the word, saith Jehovah.
nang loe kamongah ni na dueh tih; na hmaa ah kadueh nam panawk, na siangpahrangnawk hanah sak pae o ih baktih toengah, nang hanah hmuihoih na thlaek pae o tih; Oe, Angraeng! tiah na qah o haih tih; lok ka thuih boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
6 And the prophet Jeremiah spoke all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah, in Jerusalem.
To pacoengah tahmaa Jeremiah mah hae loknawk hae Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah khaeah, Jerusalem ah thuih pae boih,
7 And the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah; for these were amongst the cities of Judah, the fenced cities that were left.
Babylon misatuh kaminawk mah Jerusalem hoi anghmat vangpuinawk, Lakhish, Azekah to tuk naah, Judah vangpuinawk thungah hae vangpui hnik loe anghmat kacak vangpui ah oh hoi.
8 The word that came unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, after that king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people that were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them:
Zedekiah siangpahrang mah nihcae loihaih lok to thuih hanah, Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk boih khaeah, lokmaihaih sak pacoengah Jeremiah khaeah Angraeng ih lok to angzoh;
9 that every man should let his bondman, and every man his bondmaid, the Hebrew and the Hebrewess, go free, that none should exact service of them, [that is, ] of a Jew his brother.
kami boih mah tamna ah kaom Hebru nongpa, nongpata to prawt han oh; mi mah doeh Judah kami to misong ah suek han om ai.
10 And all the princes and all the people that had entered into the covenant obeyed, every man letting his bondman and every man his bondmaid go free, that none should exact service of them any more: they obeyed, and let [them] go.
Kami boih mah tamna nongpa, tamna nongpata to misong ah patoh han om ai, prawt boih han oh boeh, tiah thuih ih lok to ukkung angraengnawk boih, kaminawk boih mah thaih o naah, paroi o moe, misong thung hoiah loih o sak.
11 But afterwards they turned, and caused the bondmen and the bondmaids whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for bondmen and for bondmaids.
Toe akra ai ah poek amkhraih o let, prawt tangcae misong nongpa hoi nongpatanawk to naeh o let moe, tamna tok sak o sak let.
12 And the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
To naah Angraeng ih lok Jeremiah khaeah angzoh moe,
13 Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying,
Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; Izip prae ah misong ah ohhaih thung hoiah nam panawk to ka hoih naah, nam panawk hoi lokmaihaih to ka sak,
14 At the end of seven years ye shall let go every man his brother, a Hebrew, who hath sold himself unto thee; when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee. But your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear.
saning sarihto boeng pacoengah nang khaeah zawh ih nawkamya Hebru misongnawk to prawt o boih ah; saning tarukto thung na tok ang sak pae o boeh pongah, na loih o sak han oh, tiah ka naa; toe nam panawk mah ka lok to tahngai o ai moe, naa doeh patueng o ai.
15 And you, ye had this day turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:
Vaihi loe na dawn o pakhuem boeh moe, ka hmaa ah katoeng hmuen to na sak o; kami boih mah a imtaeng kami to loihsak hanah thuih o; ka hmin hoi kawk ih im thungah ka hmaa roe ah lokmaihaih na sak o:
16 but ye have turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his bondman, and every man his bondmaid, whom ye had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and ye have brought them into subjection, to be unto you for bondmen and for bondmaids.
toe vaihi nang qoi o let moe, ka hmin to nam hnong o sak; angmacae koeh baktiah na prawt o ih, tamna nongpa hoi nongpatanawk to nam laem o sak let moe, nihcae to tamna ah maw, misong ah maw na oh o sak let.
17 Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith Jehovah, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will give you over to be driven hither and thither among all the kingdoms of the earth.
To pongah Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih, Ka lok na tahngai o ai; nangcae loe nawkamya loihaih, na imtaeng kaminawk loihaih to na paek o ai; to pongah khenah, sumsen, kasae nathaih, khokhahaih hoiah duek hanah, loihhaih to kang paek o boeh; raihaih tongh hanah long nui prae kaminawk boih salakah kang thak o han.
18 And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me, — the calf which they cut in twain, and passed between the parts thereof,
Ka hmaa ah lokmaihaih a sak o ih baktih toengah, sah ai kaminawk loe maitaw caa to a um ah baawk o moe, moi salakah a caeh o baktih toengah ka sak han,
19 — the princes of Judah and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, that passed between the parts of the calf;
Judah ukkung angraengnawk, Jerusalem ukkung angraengnawk, tangyat mii dueh kaminawk, qaimanawk, baawk ih maitaw caa salakah lam caeh prae kaminawk boih,
20 them will I give into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of them that seek their life; and their carcases shall be food for the fowl of the heavens and for the beasts of the earth.
angmacae ih misa, nihcae hinghaih pakrong kaminawk ban ah ka paek han; nihcae ih qok loe van ih tavaanawk hoi taw ih moinawk han buh ah om tih.
21 And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which are gone up from you.
Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah hoi anih ih ukkung angraengnawk loe angmacae misa, angmacae hinghaih pakrong kaminawk, nangcae khae hoi amlaem let Babylon siangpahrang misatuh kaminawk ban ah ka paek han.
22 Behold, I command, saith Jehovah, and I will cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.
Khenah, nihcae to lok ka paek moe, hae vangpui thungah kang hoih let han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih; nihcae mah tuh o tih, la o ueloe, hmai hoiah thlaek o tih; Judah vangpuinawk loe kami om ai ah ka pongsak sut han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
