Jeremiah 29
1 Now these are the words of the letter which Jeremias, the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the residue of the ancients that were carried into captivity, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people, whom Nabuchodonosor had carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon:
Hae ca loe tahmaa Jeremiah mah, misong ah kalaem kaminawk thung ih kanghmat kacoehtanawk, qaimanawk, tahmaanawk hoi Nebuchadnezzar mah Jerusalem hoi Babylon ah misong ah hoih ih kaminawk boih khaeah, Jerusalem hoi pat ih ca ah oh;
2 After that Jechonias the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, and the princes of Juda, and of Jerusalem, and the craftsman, and the engravers were departed out of Jerusalem:
(hae loe Jekoniah siangpahrang hoi siangpahrang zu, tangyat mii kadueh kaminawk, Judah hoi Jerusalem ih ukkung angraengnawk, thing tok sah kop kaminawk, sum daengh kop kaminawk, Jerusalem hoi tacawt pacoengah pat pae ih ca ah oh; )
3 By the hand of Elasa the son of Saphan, and Gamarias the son of Helcias, whom Sedecias king of Juda sent to Babylon to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, saying:
to ca loe Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah mah, Babylon ah Nebuchadnezzar siangpahrang khaeah patoeh ih, Shaphan capa Elashah hoi Hilkiah capa Gemariah khaeah ka paek pae,
4 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, to all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon:
to ca thungah, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah, Jerusalem hoi Babylon ah misong ah ka caehsak ih, misong ah kalaem kaminawk boih hanah hae tiah ka tarik;
5 Build ye houses, and dwell in them: and plant orchards, and eat the fruit of them.
imnawk to sah oh loe, to ah om oh; takhanawk to sah oh loe, thingthai to caa oh;
6 Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters: and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, and let them bear sons and daughters: and be ye multiplied there, and be not few in number.
Zu to la oh loe, capanawk hoi canunawk to sah oh; capanawk hoi canunawk to sak hanah, na canunawk sava sah o sak ah loe, na capnawk to zu la o sak ah; to tiah nang pung o tahang tih, na tamsi o mak ai.
7 And seek the peace of the city, to which I have caused you to be carried away captives; and pray to the Lord for it: for in the peace thereof shall be your peace.
Nangcae misong ah kang caehsak ih vangpui misa amding thai hanah pakrong oh loe, to vangpui hanah Angraeng khaeah lawkthui pae oh; vangpui misa amding naah ni, nangcae doeh kamong ah na om o tih.
8 For thus saith the Lord of hoses the God of Israel: Let not your prophets that are in the midst of you, and your diviners deceive you: and give no heed to your dreams which you dream:
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; Nangcae salakah kaom, tahmaanawk hoi hmabang kaom han koi hmuen thui kaminawk mah, thuih ih lok mah na ling o hmah nasoe, nangcae mah na hnuk o toeng hanah, ang thuih o ih amang doeh tahngai o hmah.
9 For they prophesy falsely to you in my name: and I have not sent them, saith the Lord.
Nihcae to ka patoeh ai to mah, nihcae mah ka hmin hoiah amsawnlok to thuih o, tiah Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih.
10 For thus saith the Lord: When the seventy years shall begin to be accomplished in Babylon, I will visit you: and I will perform my good word in your favour, to bring you again to this place.
Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Babylon ah saning qui sarihto koep pacoengah, nangcae khaeah kang zoh moe, hae ahmuen ah amlaem let hanah, ka suek ih kahoih lok to ka koepsak han.
11 For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of affliction, to give you an end and patience.
Nangcae atho zoksak han ih na ai, monghaih paek moe, oephaih hoi hmabang khosak hoihaih paek hanah, nangcae han sak atimhaih ka tawnh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
12 And you shall call upon me, and you shall go: and you shall pray to me, and I will hear you.
To naah kai nang kawk o tih, na caeh o ueloe, kai khaeah lawk na thui o tih; to naah nangcae ih lok kang tahngaih pae han.
13 You shall seek me, and shall And me: when you shall seek me with all your heart.
Palungthin boih hoi kai nang pakrong o naah, nang hnu o tih.
14 And I will be found by you, saith the Lord: and I will bring back your captivity, and I will gather you out of all nations, and from all the places to which I have driven you out, saith the Lord: and I will bring you back from the place to which I caused you to be carried away captive.
Nangcae mah kai nang hnu o tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih; misong ah na oh o haih ahmuen hoiah kam laem o sak let han; prae thungah kang haek o ih ahmuen boih hoiah kang tacuu o moe, misong ah kang laemh o sakhaih ahmuen ah kang hoih o let han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
15 Because you have said: The Lord hath raised us up prophets in Babylon:
Angraeng mah kaicae hanah Babylon ah tahmaanawk to patoeh boeh, tiah na poek o;
16 For thus saith the Lord to the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and to all the people that dwell in this city, to your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity.
David ih angraeng tangkhang nuiah anghnu siangpahrang hoi hae vangpui thungah kaom kaminawk boih, nangcae hoi nawnto misong ah caeh ai prae kaminawk kawng to panoek hanah, Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih;
17 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will send upon them the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence: and I will make them like bad figs that cannot be eaten, because they are very bad.
misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, Khenah, nihcae nuiah sumsen, khokhahaih, kasae nathaih to ka patoeh han; kasae parai, caak han kahoih ai thaiduet thaih baktiah, nihcae to ka ohsak han, tiah thuih.
18 And I will persecute them with the sword, and with famine, and pith the pestilence: and I will give them up unto affliction to all the kingdoms of the earth: to be a curse, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a reproach to all the nations to which I have driven them out:
Nihcae to sumsen, khokhahaih, kasae nathaih hoiah ka pacaekthlaek han. Ka haek ih prae kaminawk mah pahnuithuihaih, tangoenghaih, padaenghaih hoi kasaethuihaih to tong o tih. Nihcae raihaih tong hanah long nui ih prae kaminawk boih khaeah ka paek han;
19 Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the Lord: which I sent to them by my servants the prophets, rising by night, and sending: and you have not heard, saith the Lord.
ka thuih ih loknawk to na tahngai o ai, tiah Angraeng mah thuih; khawnthaw ah kang thawk moe, ka tamna tahmaanawk to ka patoeh; toe a thuih ih lok to na tahngai o ai, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
20 Hear ye therefore the word of the Lord, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent out from Jerusalem to Babylon.
To pongah Jerusalem hoi Babylon ah ka caehsak ih misongnawk boih, Angraeng ih lok to tahngai oh;
21 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, to Achab the son of Colias, and to Sedecias the son of Maasias, who prophesy unto you in my name falsely: Behold I will deliver them up into the hands of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon: and he shall kill them before your eyes.
misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah, Ka hmin hoiah nangcae khaeah amsawnlok kathui, Kolaiah capa Ahab hoi Maaseiah capa Zedekiah loe, khenah, Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar ban ah ka paek han; anih mah nangcae mikhnuk ah nihnik to hum tih, tiah thuih.
22 And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Juda, that are in Babylon, saying: The Lord make thee like Sedecias, and like Achab, whom the king of Babylon fried in the fire:
Babylon ah misong ah kaom Judah kaminawk boih mah, Babylon siangpahrang mah, hmai hoi pakhaem ih Zedekiah hoi Ahab baktih toengah, Angraeng mah nangcae doeh sah nasoe, tiah nihnik kasae tonghaih to khet koi kaom ah patoh o tih.
23 Because they have acted folly in Israel, and have committed adultery with the wives of their friends, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I commanded them not: I am the judge and the witness, saith the Lord.
Nihnik loe Israel prae thungah azat thok hmuennawk to a sak hoi, imtaeng kaminawk ih zu to zae hoi haih moe, lokthuih han paek ai to mah, ka hmin hoiah amsawnlok to a thuih hoi; to hmuen to ka panoek moe, hnukungah ka oh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
24 And to Semeias the Nehelamite thou shalt say:
Nehelam acaeng Shemaiah khaeah doeh thui paeh,
25 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Because thou hast sent letters in thy name to all the people that are in Jerusalem, and to Sophonias the son of Maasias the priest, and to all the priests, saying:
Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk boih, qaima Maaseiah capa Zephaniah hoi qaimanawk boih khaeah, ka hmin hoiah ca to pat paeh, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah thuih; to ca thungah:
26 The Lord hath made thee priest instead of Joiada the priest, that thou shouldst be ruler in the house of the Lord, over every man that raveth and prophesieth, to put him in the stocks, and into prison.
Jehoiada duek pacoengah anih zuengah Angraeng im to toep hanah, Angraeng mah nang hae qaima ah ang suek boeh; to pongah angmah koeh ah tahmaa ah kangsah, amthu kaminawk to thlongthuk moe, thongim na pakhrak boih han oh.
27 And now why hast thou not rebuked Jeremias the Anathothite, who prophesieth to you?
To tih nahaeloe tipongah nangcae salakah tahmaa ah kangsah, Anathoth ih kami Jeremiah to dan na paek ai loe?
28 For he hath also sent to us in Babylon, saying: It is a long time: build ye houses, and dwell in them: and plant gardens, and eat the fruits of them.
Anih mah misong ah ohhaih saning sawk parai tih; to pongah imnawk to sah oh loe, to ah om oh; takhanawk to sah oh loe, thingthai to caa oh, tiah Babylon ah kaom kaicae khaeah ca ang pat.
29 So Sophonias the priest read this letter, in the hearing of Jeremias the prophet.
Toe qaima Zephaniah mah to ca to tahmaa Jeremiah khaeah kroek pae.
30 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying:
To pacoengah Angraeng ih lok to Jeremiah khaeah angzoh,
31 Send to all them of the captivity, saying: Thus saith the Lord to Semeias the Nehelamite: Because Semeias hath prophesied to you, and I sent him not: and hath caused you to trust in a lie:
Nehelam acaeng Shemaiah kawng pongah Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih, tiah misong ah kaom kaminawk boih khaeah pat paeh; anih to ka patoeh ai to mah, Shemaiah mah nangcae khaeah lok ang thuih moe, amsawnlok to ang tang o sak,
32 Therefore thus saith the Lord: behold I will visit upon Semeias the Nehelamite, and upon his seed: he shall not have a man to sit in the midst of this people, and he shall not see the good that I will do to my people, saith the Lord: because he hath spoken treason against the Lord.
to pongah Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Khenah, Nehelam acaeng Shemaiah hoi anih ih caanawk to ka thuitaek han; hae kaminawk salakah anih ih kami mi doeh om mak ai; anih mah Angraeng ih lok to aek hanah patuk pongah, anih loe kaimah ih kaminawk khaeah ka sak pae han ih khosakhoihaih to hnu mak ai, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
