Jeremiah 38
1 Now Saphatias the son of Mathan, and Gedelias the son of Phassur, and Juchal the son of Selemias, and Phassur the son of Melchias heard the words that Jeremias spoke to all the people, saying:
Mattan chapa Shephatiah ahin, Pashhur chapa Gedaliah ahin, Shelemiah chapa Jehucal ahin, chule Malkijah chapa Pashhur ahin, amaho hin, mipi henga Jeremiah in ipi aseijing ham, ti ajahsoh keiyu ahi. Aman aseijing chu,
2 Thus saith the Lord: Whosoever shell remain in this city, shall die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence: but he that shall go forth to the Chaldeans, shall live, and his life shall be safe, and he shall live.
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Koi hijongle Jerusalem khopia umden ho chu, chemjam’a thidiu, kelthoh a chule natna hise chom chom’a thidiu ahi. Amavang koi hileh Babylon mite henga kipelut ho chu hingdoh diu ahi.
3 Thus saith the Lord: This city shall surely be delivered into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it.
Chule Pakaiyin hitin jong aseiye, Jerusalem khopi hi Babylon mitesepaiho khut a kipedoh teiding, chule amahon hiche khopi hi alah dingu ahi,” atijing ahi.
4 And the princes said to the king: We beseech thee that this man may be put to death: for on purpose he weakeneth the hands of the men of war, that remain in this city, and the hands of the people, speaking to them according to these words: for this man seeketh not peace to this people, but evil.
Hichun vaipo ho chu lengpa kom’a alut uvin, hitin agasei uve. Kapu hiche mipa hi that jengin. Aman hitobang thu aseijeh in, khopi sunga sepaite umsun jong alungu asuneo gamtan, chule mipite jong alung lengvai gamtauvin ahi. Hitobang mihi nam ngailulou ahi, agatiuve.
5 And king Sedecias said: Behold he is in your hands: for it is not lawful for the king to deny you any thing.
Zedekiah lengpan jong, amaho sei chu anomtan, “Aphai, nanghon nagel u chu ama chunga bol jengun, keiman nangho douna ima kasei louhel ding ahi,” atitai.
6 Then they took Jeremias and cast him into the dungeon of Melchias the son of Amelech, which was in the entry of the prison: and they let down Jeremias by ropes into the dungeon, wherein there was no water, but mire. And Jeremias sunk into the mire.
Hijeh chun vaipo ho chun Jeremiah aman un, leng inpi ngahpa inkom’a lengpa chapa Malkijah twikul a chun khaovin akhailha tauvin ahi. Twikul chu twi umloupet ahin, atolanga bonnang um ahi. Bonnang lah a chun Jeremiah alhumlut tan ahi.
7 Now Abdemelech the Ethiopian, an eunuch that was in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremias in the dungeon: but the king was sitting in the gate of Benjamin.
Hichun leng inpia vaihom thuche tah khat, Ethiopia mi Ebed-melech kitipa chun, Jeremiah chu twikul a alehlut tauve, ti ajatan ahi. Hichepet a chu, lengpan Benjamin kelkot phungathutan’a atoupet ahi.
8 And Abdemelech went out of the king’s house, and spoke to the king, saying:
Hijeh chun, Ebed-melech jong leng inpia kon in alhaijel in lengpa jah’a chun,
9 My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done against Jeremias the prophet, casting him into the dungeon to die there with hunger, for there is no more bread in the city.
Kapu lengpa, hiche miho hin thilse tah khat aboldoh tauve. Amahon Jeremiah themgao chu twikul sunga alehluttauvin ahi. Twikul sunga khu, ama gilkel dangchah thoh'a thilo paiding ahitai. Ajeh chu khopi sung jenga jong changlhah beiding kon ahitai, agatin ahi.
10 Then the king commanded Abdemelech the Ethiopian, saying: Take from hence thirty men with thee, and draw up Jeremias the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die.
Hichun lengpan Ebed-melech jah a thu apen, Hilaiya um kamiho somthum kipuiyin lang, Jeremiah chu athi masangin twikul a kon’in gakaidoh loiyun, atitai.
11 So Abdemelech taking the men with him, went into the king’s house that was under the storehouse: and he took from thence old rags, and old rotten things, and he let them down by cords to Jeremias into the dungeon.
Hijeh chun Ebed-melech injong, lengpa miho chu apuiyin, leng inpia thilkholna insunga chun alut un, pon luisa leh akipaisa pon phabep alauvin ahi. Hiche pon luisa ho chu twkul sunga, Jeremiah henga khaovin akhailhauvin ahi.
12 And Abdemelech the Ethiopian said to Jeremias: Put these old rags and these rent and rotten things under thy arms, and upon the cords: and Jeremias did so.
Hichun Ebed-melech in Jeremiah chu akouvin, ajah’a, hiche ponluisa hohi najahnoi tenia chun, khaojang toh kikah’a chun jep in ati. Jeremiah injong aseibang chun aboltai.
13 And they drew up Jeremias with the cords, and brought him forth out of the dungeon. And Jeremias remained in the entry of the prison.
Chuin amahon Jeremiah chu twikul sunga kon in akaidoh uvin, chule Jeremiah jong leng inngahpa insunga chu aumden kittai.
14 And king Sedecias sent, and took Jeremias the prophet to him to the third gate, that was in the house of the Lord: and the king said to Jeremias: I will ask thee a thing, hide nothing from me.
Nikhat, Zedekiah lengpan Jeremiah kouvin mi asol in, Pakai houin lutna kot thumna’a chun akimupin ahi. Zedekiah lengpan Jeremiah jah’a, “Keiman thukhat dong ing kate, chule nangin jong dihtah a naseiding, na-imlou helding ahi,” ati.
15 Then Jeremias said to Sedecias: If I shall declare it to thee, wilt thou not put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, thou wilt not hearken to me.
Ahin Jeremiah in lengpa jah’a, “Keiman adihtah kaseile neitha jeng ding ahi. Chule keiman nangma hilna neijong leng, nngman nangaideh louhel ding ahibouve,” atitai.
16 Then king Sedecias swore to Jeremias, in private, saying: As the Lord liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, nor will I deliver thee into the hands of these men that seek thy life.
Chuphat in, lengpan Jeremiah kom a chun aguh in kihahsel na aboltai. Aman, “Pakai hingjing, eiho hinkho eisempeh pau ahi. Keiman nangma katha louhel ding chule nang thiding deiho khut a jong kapehdoh louhel ding nahi,” atitai.
17 And Jeremias said to Sedecias: Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: If thou wilt take a resolution and go out to the princes of the king of Babylon, thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burnt with fire: and thou shalt be safe, and thy house.
Hichun Jeremiah in Zedekiah lengpa kom’a hitin aseiye. Hatchungnung Pakai, Israel Pathen chun aseiye. Nangma tah Babylon lengpa henga nakipehlut poupouleh, nang jong nainsung mite jong nakihinso diu ahi. Chule hiche khopi jong meiya kihalvam lou ding ahi, ati.
18 But if thou wilt not go out to the princes of the king of Babylon, this city shall be delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire: and thou shalt not escape out of their hands.
Amavang nangma tah nakipehlut loule, iti jongle najamdoh louhel ding ahi. Chule hiche khopi jonghi Babylon mite khut a kipedoh ding, amahon meiya ahalvam diu ahi, atipehtai.
19 And king Sedecias said to Jeremias: I am afraid because of the Jews that are fled over to the Chaldeans: lest I should be delivered into their hands, and they should abuse me.
Ahivangin Zedekiah lengpan Jeremiah jah’a, “Babylon mite khut a kipehlut jeng ding chu kichat umtah ahi. Ajeh chu, amaho khutnuiya umsa Judah miho khut a eipedoh khalou, keiman ipi katoding nahet am?” ati.
20 But Jeremias answered: They shall not deliver thee: hearken, I beseech thee, to the word of the Lord, which I speak to thee, and it shall be well with thee, and thy soul shall live.
Chuin Jeremiah in adonbut in, Nangman Pakai thupeh hi najuile, amaho khut a nakipedoh louhel ding ahi. Hiche hi nangdinga aphapen hiding, nahinkho jong nakihoipeh ding ahi.
21 But if thou wilt not go forth, this is the word which the Lord hath shewn me:
Amavang, kipehlut ding nadale, Pakaiyin keima henga aphondoh chu hiche hi ahi.
22 Behold all the women that are left in the house of the king of Juda, shall be brought out to the princes of the king of Babylon: and they shall say: Thy men of peace have deceived thee, and have prevailed against thee, they have plunged thy feet in the mire, and in a slippery place, and they have departed from thee.
Ven, Judah leng inpia, insung numei akidalha chengse hung kikai doh’a, Babylon mite sepaiho kipedoh diu ahi. Chutahle amahon ache pump um uva, “Lengpa naginchat tah nagol phapen hon nangma nalhem lhauvin…! Nachunga avaihom tauve; Tunvang nakeng jong bonlhoh lah’a aluttan, nagolten jong nadalha tauve, atidiu ahi,” kati.
23 And all thy wives, and thy children shall be brought out to the Chaldeans, and thou shalt not escape their hands, but thou shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and he shall burn this city with fire.
Keiman kaseibe kit in, “Naji nachateu jong abonchauva, Babylon mite khut a kikailutsoh kei dingu, chule nangma tah jong najamdoh louhel ding ahi. Babylon lengpan nangma tah soh’a nakai ding, chule hiche khopi hi meiya ahalvam ding ahi,” kati.
24 Then Sedecias said to Jeremias: Let no man know these words, and thou shalt not die.
Hichun Zedekiah in Jeremiah jah’a, “Hiche thuho kehenga naseihi, koima hetsah hih in, koiman nangma imacha nalolou ding ahi.
25 But if the princes shall hear that I have spoken with thee, and shall come to thee, and say to thee: Tell us what thou hast said to the king, hide it not from us, and we will not kill thee: and also what the king said to thee:
vaipo hon ikihou hon hinhedoh khaleu, lengpan nakom’a ipi ase am, imhih in, tia nahin dohdiu. Nasei loule nathi ding ahi, tiajong aseidiu ahi.
26 Thou shalt say to them: I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not command me to be carried back into the house of Jonathan, to die there.
Ven, hitia chu ahinbol khah ule, nangman amaho jah’achun, “Keiman lengpa kom’a, Jonathan in-ah kihenna mun’a chun neinungsol hih beh in, tia kagatao ahi, tin seipeh in,” ati.
27 So all the princes came to Jeremias, and asked him: and he spoke to them according to all the words that the king had commanded him: and they left him: for nothing had been heard.
Hichun, sotlou hel in, vaipo ho abonchauvin Jeremiah kom’a ahung uvin, Jeremiah jah’a, lengpan ipi dinga nahinkou ham, tin adongtauve. Jeremiah injong lengpan athuhil bangchun aseitan ahileh amahon imacha alotheitapouve. Ajeh chu lengpa toh akihouna lhon chu koima ajapha umlou ahiuve.
28 But Jeremias remained in the entry of the prison, until the day that Jerusalem was taken: and it came to pass that Jerusalem was taken.
Hitichun Jerusalem khopi chu Babylon ten alah nikho geiyin, Jeremiah chu leng inpi ngahpa insunga chun aumdentai.
