Jeremiah 27
1 This message came to Jeremiah from the Lord at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, son of Josiah, king of Judah.
Judah manghai Josiah capa Jehoiakim kah ram a tongcuek vaengah he ol he BOEIPA taeng lamloh Jeremiah taengla ha pawk.
2 This is what the Lord told me: Make for yourself a harness and a yoke and strap it 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 Send a message to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, and Sidon through the ambassadors who have come to Jerusalem to see Zedekiah 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 Give them this order from the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, to convey to their 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 It was by my strength and creative power that I made the earth and the human beings and animals that live there, and I give it to those who are right in my sight.
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 Now I have placed my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon in charge of all these countries. I have even given him control over the wild animals.
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 All nations will serve him and his son and grandson, until the time that his own land comes under the control of other nations and powerful kings.
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 Any nation or kingdom that doesn't serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and doesn't submit to him I will punish that nation by war and famine and plague, declares the Lord, until I let Nebuchadnezzar destroy it completely.
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 Don't you listen to your prophets, your fortune-tellers, your interpreters of dreams, your mediums, or your magicians when they tell you, “You won't 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 They're prophesying a lie to you that will lead to your removal from your country. I will expel you and you will die.
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 But a nation that submits to the king of Babylon and serves him, I will leave in its own land, to cultivate it and live in it, declares the Lord.
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 I gave the same message to Zedekiah king of Judah: Submit to the king of Babylon; serve him and his people, and 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 and your people die by war and famine and plague, as the Lord has said he would bring against any nation that does not 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 Don't listen to messages from prophets who say, “You won't serve the king of Babylon,” for they are prophesying 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 I didn't send them, declares the Lord, and yet they are giving false prophecies in my name. So I will expel you and you will die—you and the prophets who prophesy to 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 Then I told the priests and all the people, This is what the Lord says: Don't listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, “Look! The objects from the Lord's Temple will shortly be returned from Babylon.” They are prophesying a lie to you.
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 Don't listen to them. Serve the king of Babylon and live! Why should this city be destroyed?
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 If they are truly prophets and really have the word of the Lord with them, they should be pleading now with the Lord Almighty that what's left in the Lord's Temple, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, isn't taken 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 This what the Lord Almighty says about the pillars, the bronze sea, the bases, and the rest of the objects that are left in Jerusalem:
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 everything Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon didn't take when he took Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim king of Judah into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon, together with all the nobles 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 Again, this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says about the objects left in the Lord's Temple, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in 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 will be taken away to Babylon and will stay there until the time I see to them again, declares the Lord. Only then will I bring them back so they will be in Jerusalem again.
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.
