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 manghai Nebukhanezar neh amah kah tatthai boeih, a kut dongkah a khohung diklai ram boeih neh pilnam boeih loh Jerusalem neh a khopuei boeih a vathoh thil vaengah BOEIPA taeng lamkah ol te Jeremiah taengla ha pawk.
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.
“Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Judah manghai Zedekiah te paan lamtah thui pah. Amah taengah, “BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Khopuei he kai Babylon manghai kut dongah ka tloeng coeng tih hmai neh a hoeh ni.
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 khaw anih kut lamloh na loeih pawt vetih n'tuuk rhoe n'tuuk ni. A kut dongla n'tloeng vaengah na mik neh Babylon manghai kah mik te hmu uh bitni. A ka neh na ka khaw cal rhoi vetih Babylon la na pawk ni.
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;
Judah manghai Zedekiah BOEIPA ol he hnatun dae. BOEIPA loh nang ham he ni a thui. cunghang ha dongah na duek mahpawh?
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.
Ngaimong la na duek vetih hnukbuet kah manghai namah napa rhoek kah hlanhmai la na mikhmuh ah ha pawk uh ni. Nang te n'tih uh vetih, “Anunae boeipa aih,” tila nang ham rhaengsae uh ni. Ol ka thui BOEIPA olphong ni.
6 And the prophet Jeremiah spoke all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah, in Jerusalem.
He ol boeih he tonghma Jeremiah loh Jerusalem kah Judah manghai Zedekiah taengah a thui.
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 manghai kah tatthai te Jerusalem neh Judah khopuei boeih khuikah aka sueng Lakhish neh Azekah te a vathoh thil ni. Te rhoi te Judah khopuei rhoek khuiah hmuencak khopuei la sueng van.
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:
Manghai Zedekiah loh sayalhnah ham aka pang Jerusalem kah pilnam boeih neh paipi a saii phoeiah BOEIPA taeng lamkah ol te Jeremiah taengla pawk.
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.
Hlang boeih loh a sal te, hlang boeih loh a sal huta te, Hebrewpa neh Hebrunu khaw sayalh sak tih hlang loh a manuca te Judah taengah thohtat sak pawt ham panguh.
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.
Te dongah mangpa boeih neh pilnam boeih loh a ngai uh. A salpa boeih neh a sal huta boeih te sayalh la hlah ham paipi khuiah kun uh. Amih te thohtat sak voel pawt ham a ngai uh tih a hlah uh.
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.
Tedae a hnukah mael uh tih salpa neh sal huta te koep a lat uh. Sayalh la a tueih tangtae salpa neh sal huta te a khoh rhoela a khoh uh.
12 And the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
Te dongah BOEIPA ol he BOEIPA taeng lamloh Jeremiah taengla ha pawk tih koep a thui pah.
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,
Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Na pa rhoek he Egypt kho lamkah neh sal imkhui lamloh ka doek hnin vaengah amih taengah paipi ka saii.
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.
Te vaengah, 'Na taengla han yoih a manuca Hebrew hlang tah kum rhih a cuum vaengah hlah laeh. Kum rhuk nang taengah thotat tih, namah lamloh sayalh la hlah laeh,” a ti. Tedae na poek rhoek loh kai taengkah he hnatun uh pawt tih a hna kaeng uh pawh.
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:
Na mael uh khohnin vaengah tah ka mikhmuh ah a thuem la na saii uh. Hlang boeih loh a hui taengah sayalhnah doek ham kai ming neh a khue im khuikah ka mikhmuh ah paipi pataeng na saii uh.
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.
Tedae na mael uh tih kai ming he na poeih uh. Hlang boeih loh a salpa neh a sal huta te koep na lat uh. Amih hinglu te sayalh la na hlah coeng dae namamih taengah salpa neh sal huta la om sak ham amih te na khoh uh.
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.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Nangmih khuikah hlang boeih loh a manuca ham neh a hui ham sayalhnah hoe ham akhaw kai taengkah he na hnatun moenih. Kamah loh nangmih ham sayalhnah khaw ka hoe pueng ne. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Nangmih te cunghang taengla, duektahaw taengla, khokha taengla, diklai ram tom taengah tonganah neh ngaihuetnah la kang khueh ni.
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 paipi aka poe hlang rhoek te ka saii pueng ni. Ka mikhmuh kah a saii bangla paipi ol te a thoh puei uh moenih. Vaitoca ni panit la a saii tih a kaekvang laklo ah a pongpa uh bangla vai uh pawh. Paipi aka poe te ngawn tah ka saii pueng ni.
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 mangpa rhoek neh Jerusalem mangpa tildit rhoek khaw, khosoih rhoek neh khohmuen kah pilnam boeih khaw vaitoca kah kaekvang laklo ah pongpa uh.
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.
Te dongah amih te a thunkha kut dongah khaw, amih kah hinglu aka toem kah kut dongah khaw ka tloeng ni. Te vaengah a rhok te vaan kah vaa ham neh diklai rhamsa ham caak la poeh ni.
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 manghai Zedekiah neh a mangpa rhoek te khaw a thunkha kut dongah, a hinglu aka toem kut dongla, nangmih taeng lamloh aka nong Babylon manghai kah tatthai kut dongla ka paek ni.
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.
Kai loh BOEIPA kah olphong ni kang uen ne. Te dongah amih te he khopuei la kam mael puei vetih a vathoh thil uh ni. Khopuei he a buem vetih hmai neh a hoeh uh vaengah Judah khopuei rhoek te khopong la ka khueh vetih khosa om mahpawh.
