< Jeremiah 36 >

1 This message from the Lord came to Jeremiah in the fourth year of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
Judah lengpa Josiah chapa Jehoiakim lengvaipoh kumli lhinkum in, Pakaiyin Jeremiah henga thu hitin aseiye.
2 Get a scroll and write down everything I've told you condemning Israel, Judah, and all the other nations, from the time I first spoke to you during the reign of Josiah right up till now.
Nangman lekhajol khat kilah inlang, Josiah leng khanga pat tuni geiya keiman Israel leh Judah douna kathusei ho chule namtin vaipi douna kathusei ho abon'in jihlut in.
3 Maybe when the people of Judah hear about all the disasters I plan to bring down on them, everyone will stop their evil ways. Then I will forgive their guilt and sin.
Chuteng Judah ten achunguva kabolgut thilse hohi avel a akijah doh kit uva, akisih uva setna lampia kon’a ahung kilekit uva ahileh, keiman amaho chonsetna leh athemmonau kangaidam ding ahi, ati.
4 So Jeremiah called Baruch son of Neriah to come, and while Jeremiah dictated, Baruch wrote down on a scroll everything that the Lord had told Jeremiah.
Chuin Jeremiah in Neriah chapa Baruch chu akouvin, Pakaiyin ahenga aseipeh jouse chu abonchan akam in aseiyin, Baruch in lekhajol khat a ajihluttai.
5 Then Jeremiah gave Baruch these instructions: “I'm a prisoner here so I can't go into the Lord's Temple.
Hichun Jeremiah in Baruch jah’a, “Keima songkul'a kihen bangin kaum in, Pakai houin sunga kavahlut theitapoi,”
6 So you have to go to the Lord's Temple on a day when people are fasting, and read to them the Lord's messages from the scroll I dictated to you. Read them to all the people of Judah who come in from their towns.
Hijeh chun nangma houin sunga naga cheding, anngol jou ajing nikholeh, Pakaiya hungkon hiche thuho, keiman kaseitho a nangma lekhajol a kajihlutsah hohi, naga simdoh ding ahi. Hitia chu, Judah gamsung jousea kon’a hungdoh mipite jousen ajah diuva, nasimpeh ding ahi.
7 Maybe they will come and ask the Lord for forgiveness, and all of them will stop their evil ways, for the Lord is threatening terrible anger against them.”
Chutile amahon achennau lamsea kon’a hung kihei kit uva, ageisang behseh masang a, Pakai henga ngaidam athumdiu ahi. ajeh chu, Pakai lunghanna chu akhohse behseh jengin, amaho dingin kichat tijat umval jeng ahi, ati.
8 Baruch son of Neriah did exactly what Jeremiah the prophet had told him to do. He went and read the Lord's message from the scroll in the Temple.
Hichun Jeremiah thupeh bang chun, Baruch in agabol in, houin sunga alut in, mipiho jah dingin, Pakai thusei kijihlut hochu abonchan agasimdoh pihtai.
9 This is how it happened. A fast to honor the Lord was declared involving all the people of Jerusalem and everyone who had come there from the towns of Judah. This was in the ninth month of the fifth year of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah.
Hiche hi, Josiah chapa Jehoiakim lengvaipoh kumnga lhinkum, lhako lhinna, anngol nikho khat’a, Baruch in abol ahi. Hiche nikho chu Judah gamsung pumpia kon’a mi tampi, Jerusalem houin’a chu hungkhomji, ahiuve.
10 Baruch read from the scroll what Jeremiah had dictated so that everyone could hear. He read it from the room of Gemariah son of Shaphan the scribe. This was in the upper Temple courtyard at the New Gate entrance.
Chuin mipijouse jah dingin, lekhajol’a kijihlut Jeremiah thusei hochu abon'in, Baruch in asimdoh sohkeiyin ahi. Hichepet a chu ama houin maiya, houin sunga lekhasunpa Gemariah, Shaphan chapa indan sunga um ahin, hichu Pakai houin lutna kelkot thah kom cha ahi.
11 When Micaiah son of Gemariah, son of Shaphan, heard all the Lord's messages read from the scroll,
Shaphan chapa Gemariah, Gemariah chapa Micaiah chun lekhajol sunga kon’a Pakai thusei kiphongdoh ho chu abonchan ajah soh phat in;
12 he went down to the royal secretary's room in the king's palace, where all the officials had gathered. Elishama the secretary, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other officials were there.
Ama achesuh in, leng inpia lekha sunpan indan sunga alut in, gamvaipo ho toukhomna-a chun aluttai. Hiche mun’a umho chu: Lekha sunpa Elishama, Shemaiah chapa Delaiah, Acbor chapa Elnathan, Shaphan chapa Geramiah, Hananiah chapa Zedekiah chule midang jong ahiuve.
13 Micaiah gave them a report of everything he'd heard Baruch read from the scroll to the people.
Micaiah chun, houin mun’a Baruch in lekhajol asimdoh’a athujol ho chu abonchan, amaho chu aseipehtan ahi.
14 The officials sent Jehudi son of Nethaniah, son of Shelemiah, son of Cushi, to summon Baruch, telling him, “Bring the scroll that you read to the people, and come here.” So Baruch went to see them taking the scroll with him.
Chuin vaipoten, Nethaniah chapa Jehudi, Shelemiah tupa, Cushi tusonpa chu, Baruch henga asol in, ama jah’a, ‘Nangman mipite jah dinga nasimdoh lekhajol chu hinchoi inlang, keiho kom’a hungsimdoh kit in,’tin aga seisahtauve. Hichun Baruch in a lekhajol chu ahin kichoiyin, vaipote henga chun ahungtai.
15 “Please sit down and read it to us,” they said. So Baruch read it to them.
Chuin amahon Baruch jah’a, “Touvin, nalekhajol chu keiho jah dingin simkit in,” atiuvin ahi. Baruch injong aseibangu chun asimpehtai.
16 After they'd heard everything, they were frightened and looked at each other. They said to Baruch, “We've got to tell the king about all this.”
Amahon thu kisun ho chu ajah phat un, atijauvin khatle khat akiveto jeng uvin ahi. Hichun amahon Baruch jah’a, “Hiche thu hohi lengpa iseipeh teitei diu ahi,” atiuve.
17 Then they asked Baruch, “Now tell us, how did you come to write all this? Did Jeremiah dictate it to you?”
Ahivangin, amahon Baruch chu thu adongun, Nangman thu hijat hi hoiya nalah ham, Jeremiah in najihsah ham? atiuvin ahi.
18 “Yes, he dictated it,” Baruch replied. “I wrote down in ink on the scroll everything he told me.”
Baruch in adonbut in, “Jeremiah in thucheng khat khat a aseiya, keiman hiche lekhajol’a hi kajihlut ahi,” ati.
19 The officials told Baruch, “You and Jeremiah are going to have to hide. Don't tell anyone where you are.”
Chuphat in amahon, “Nang jong Jeremiah jong, nanilhon in kiseldoh lhontan. Naumna lhon koimacha hetsah lhon hih in,” atiuvin ahi.
20 Then the officials went to see the king in the courtyard. They had kept the scroll safe in Elishama the secretary's room while they gave a full report to the king.
Chuin vaipo ho chun, lekhasunpa Elishama indan sunga alut un, lekhajol chu akoitup tauve. Chule athu jouse chu lengpa kom alhut tauvin ahi.
21 The king sent Jehudi to fetch the scroll. He went and got it from Elishama the secretary's room. Then Jehudi read it to the king and all the officials who were there standing next to him.
Hichun lengpan Jehudi akouvin, lekhajol gala dingin asoltai. Jehudi injong Elishama indan sunga kikoi lekhajol cuh ahinchoiyin, lengpa le vaipo ho jah dingin asimpehtan ahi.
22 It was the ninth month and the king was sitting in front of a fire in his winter quarters.
Phalbi lei ahijeh'in, lengpa jong phalbi indan sunga chun atouvin, meibel a mei kitih chu a-oiyin ahi.
23 Whenever Jehudi finished reading three or four columns, Jehoiakim would chop them off with a scribe's knife and toss them into the fire. Eventually the whole scroll was completely burned up.
Chuin Jehudi in lekhajol chu, jolthum jolli asimchaiyin ahileh, lengpan chemchan a-at teltel in, mei lah’a alehlut in, hitichun aban ban in abol in, lekhajol chu abon'in meiya ahalvam soh hettan ahi.
24 Despite hearing all these messages, the king and his attendants weren't frightened and didn't tear their clothes in remorse.
Thu hijat ajah vangun, lengpa ahin chule alhachate ahiuvin, koiman kisihna leh tijatna imacha aneideh pouvin ahi.
25 Even when Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah pleaded with the king not to burn the scroll, he refused to listen to them.
Hichun Elnathan, Delaiah chule Gemariah ho chun, lengpa kom’a, lekhajol chu meiya ahalvam lou dingin ajol un, ahivangin lengpan amaho thusei chu angaipeh poi.
26 In fact the king ordered Jerahmeel, one of the princes, as well as Seraiah son of Azriel and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to go and arrest Baruch and Jeremiah. But the Lord hid them.
Chujouvin, lengpan achapa Jerameel, Azriel chapa Seraiah chule Abdeel chapa Shelemiah akouvin, lekhasunpa Baruch leh Jeremiah themgaopa mandoh dingin thupeh aneitai. Ahivangin amani chu Pakaiyin aseldohtai.
27 After the king burned the scroll Jeremiah had dictated to Baruch, a message from the Lord came to Jeremiah:
Lengpan, Jeremiah thuseiho Baruch in lekhajol a ajihlut chu, meiya ahalvam nung chun; Pakaiyin Jeremiah henga hitin ahinsei kit in ahi.
28 Get another scroll and write everything out that was on the first scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah burned.
Nangman lekhajol khat kilahkit inlang, Judah lengpa Jehoiakim in meiya ahalvamsa lekhajol’a kisun thuho chu, avel in abonchan jihlutsah sohkeiyin, ati.
29 Regarding Jehoiakim king of Judah announce that this is what the Lord says: You have burned the scroll and asked, “Why did you write that the king of Babylon is going to come and destroy this country and kill all its people and animals?”
Chule Judah lengpa Jehoiakim jah’a, hitin seiyin: Nangman lekhajol chu, asunga thu um, Babylon lengpan hiche gam hi asuhmang ding chule agamsunga um mihem leh gancha ho jong asuhgam hel ding ahi, tia akijih lut jeh a meiya nahalvam ahi.
30 So this is what the Lord says about Jehoiakim king of Judah: He won't have anyone to succeed him as king, sitting on David's throne. His body will be thrown out to lie in the heat of the day and the cold of the night.
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Judah lengpa Jehoiakim lengpa chapate David leng touna-a hungtou ding koima cha umlou helding ahiuve. Ama tahsa thilong jeng jong, sunlai nisa thohding leh janlai daitwi doudinga, vuilouva kipaiding ahi.
31 I'm going to punish him and his descendants and officials for their sins. I will bring down on them and on the people living in Jerusalem and Judah, all the disasters I warned them about but they refused to listen.
Keiman achonsetnau lethuhna-a, ama chungle ainsung mite chunga chule asohte chunga talen kamatsah ding ahiuve. Chule keiman Jerusalem mite chunga chule Judah mite jouse chunga hamsetna katepsa jouse kabuhlhah ding ahi. Ajeh chu amahon kahilna leh kasihsalna ngaisah in aneipouve.
32 Jeremiah got another scroll and gave it to Baruch. Jeremiah dictated everything that was in the scroll that Jehoiakim had burned in the fire and Barcuh wrote it down. Even more messages of a similar kind were added.
Hijeh chun Jeremiah in lekhajol achom khat alan, lekhasunpa Baruch kom’a chun, akamcheng tah in aseipeh kit in, ajihlutsah tai. Chule lekhajol masa, Judah lengpa Jehoiakim in meiya ahalvamsa-a, kijihlut thucheng jouse abonchan ajihlutsah kit in, chule thucheng tampi jong akigop ben ahi.
