Jeremiah 42
1 Then all the army commanders, together with Johanan son of Kareah, Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, and everyone from the least to the most important came to
Kahrawikungnaw hoi Koreah capa Johanan hoi Hoshaiah capa Jezaniah hoi taminaw pueng, kathoengca koehoi kalenpoung totouh a kamkhueng awh.
2 Jeremiah the prophet and said, “Please listen to our request.
Profet Jeremiah koevah, na hmalah pahrennae ka kâhei e naw he na dâw pouh haw. Kacawirae taminaw hanelah na Cathut koe pahrennae lahoi na ratoum pouh haw, kacawirae taminaw hanelah na Cathut koe pahren lahoi na ratoum pouh haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na hmu awh e patetlah tami moikapap thung hoi tami youn touh doeh ka o awh toe.
3 Pray to the Lord your God for all of us. As you can see there's only a few of us left compared to how many there were before. In your prayer please ask the Lord your God to tell where to go and what to do.”
BAWIPA na Cathut ni ka cei awh nahane hoi ka tawksak awh hane na hmusak nahanelah, telah ati awh.
4 “I'll do as you ask,” Jeremiah replied. “I will definitely pray to the Lord your God as you've requested, and I'll tell you everything he says. I won't keep anything back from you.”
Profet Jeremiah ni nangmae lawk ka thai, khenhaw! mamae lawk patetlah BAWIPA na Cathut koe ka hei han. Hahoi BAWIPA ni bout na dei pouh e naw pueng, nangmouh koe he ka dei han, nangmouh koe banghai ka pâphat mahoeh telah ati.
5 Then they said to Jeremiah, “May the Lord be a true and faithful witness against us if we don't do everything that the Lord your God tells you we should.
Ahnimouh ni Jeremiah koevah, BAWIPA na Cathut ni nang hno lahoi kaimouh koe a tha e lawk patetlah ka sak awh hoehpawiteh, kaimouh rahak vah BAWIPA teh kapanuekkhaikung hoi yuemkamcu e lah awm lawiseh.
6 Good or bad, we will obey what the Lord our God says, the one we're asking you to speak to. That way everything will go well with us, because we will be obeying what the Lord our God says.”
BAWIPA Cathut e pahni dawk hoi ka tâcawt e ka tarawi awh toteh, kaimouh hanlah hawinae lah ao thai nahan thoseh, ahawi thoseh, na ka patoun e Cathut BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, ka tarawi awh roeroe han, telah ati awh.
7 Ten days later a message from the Lord came to Jeremiah.
Hahoi, hnin hra hnukkhu, BAWIPA e lawk Jeremiah koe a pha.
8 He summoned Johanan, all the army commanders, and everyone from the least to the most important.
Hahoi Koreah capa Johanan hoi ahni koe e ransahu kahrawikungnaw pueng hoi ransanaw pueng kathoengca koehoi kalenpoung totouh a kaw teh,
9 Jeremiah told them, This what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to those of who you sent to me to present your request:
ahnimouh koe, a hmalah pahrennae na kâheinae phasak hanelah na patounnae BAWIPA Isarel cathut ni hettelah a dei.
10 If you will stay right here in this country, then I will build you up and I won't tear you down; I will plant you and I won't uproot you; because I'm very sad about the disaster I have brought down on you.
Hete ram dawk pou na awm awh pawiteh, bout na kamlang sin vaiteh, na raphoe mahoeh, bout na ung awh vaiteh, na phawng mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh lathueng hawihoehnae ka pha sak e pankângai toe.
11 I know you fear the king of Babylon, but you don't need to be afraid of him, declares the Lord. I am with you to save you and rescue you from him.
Babilon siangpahrang ouk na taki awh e hah taket awh hanh awh, telah BAWIPA ni a dei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a kut thung hoi rungngang hane hoi rasa hanelah nangmouh koe ka o.
12 I will be merciful to you, so that he will be merciful to you and will let you stay in your own country.
Lungangnae tawn thai awh nahanlah nangmae lathueng lungmanae ka kamnue sak vaiteh, namamae ram dawk roeroe na bankhai awh han.
13 But if you say, “We won't stay here in this country,” and by doing so disobey what the Lord your God says;
Hatei, hete ram dawk kaawm awh mahoeh telah BAWIPA na Cathut e lawk na ngai awh hoeh teh,
14 or if you say instead, “No, we're going to Egypt to live there, where we won't experience war or hear trumpets sounding or go hungry;”
Izip ram lah ka cei awh vaiteh, hawvah tarantuknae roeroe ka kâhmo awh mahoeh, mongka lawk hai ka thai awh mahoeh, vonhlam, tui kahrannae hai awm mahoeh, hote hmuen koe kho ka sak han na tet awh pawiteh,
15 then listen to what the Lord says, you survivors from Judah! This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: If you're absolutely determined to go to Egypt and live there,
Oe kacawirae Judah taminaw, BAWIPA e lawk thai awh haw, ransahu BAWIPA Isarel Cathut ni hettelah a dei. Izip ram dawk kâen hane hoi khosak hanlah thama lah na ban awh pawiteh,
16 then the war you're so frightened of will catch up with you there, and the famine you're so terrified of will chase after you into Egypt, and you will die there.
na taki awh e tahloi ni Izip ram vah a pha vaiteh, hawvah na due awh han.
17 Everyone who decides to go to Egypt and live there will die by war and famine and disease. Not a single one will survive or escape the disaster I will bring down on them.
Izip ram dawk khosak hanelah thama lah ka cet e taminaw pueng hottelah ao awh han. Tahloi, takang, lacik hoi a due awh han, hawihoehnae ahnimouh lathueng ka pha sak hane thung hoi apihai hlout mahoeh.
18 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: In the same way that my furious anger was poured out on the people living in Jerusalem, so will my anger be poured out on you if you go to Egypt. People will be horrified at what happens to you, and you will become a curse word, an insult, an expression of condemnation. You won't ever see your homeland again.
Ransahu BAWIPA Isarel Cathut ni hettelah a dei, Jerusalem kho ka sak e taminaw koe ka lungkhueknae ka rabawk e patetlah Izip ram na kâen awh toteh, nangmouh lathueng lungkhueknae ka rabawk han. Pathoe e, kângai ka ru e, thoebo e, hnephnap e lah na o awh vaiteh hete hmuen bout na hmawt awh mahoeh toe.
19 “The Lord has told you, survivors from Judah, ‘Don't go to Egypt,’” Jeremiah concluded. “Be absolutely clear about this warning I'm giving you today!
Oe kacawirae Judah taminaw, BAWIPA ni nangmouh kong dawk a dei toe. Izip ram dawk kâen hanh awh, Sahnin vah na thaisak awh tie hah pahnim roeroe hanh awh.
20 You've made a big mistake that will cost you your lives by sending me to the Lord your God, asking, ‘Pray to the Lord our God for us, and let us know everything the Lord our God says and we'll do it.’
BAWIPA na Cathut koevah kai na patoun awh navah, Namamae hringnae sung hanelah namahoima na kâdum awh e doeh. Mamae BAWIPA ka Cathut kaimouh yueng ratoum haw, maimae BAWIPA Cathut ni a dei e naw pueng kaimouh koe na dei pouh haw ka sak awh han telah na ti awh.
21 I have told you today what he said, but you have not obeyed everything the Lord your God sent me to tell you.
Sahnin vah nangmouh koe ka pâpho, hatei nangmouh koe na ka patoun e BAWIPA na Cathut lawk hah bout na tarawi ngai awh hoeh.
22 So you should know that without question you're going to die by war and famine and disease in Egypt where you want to go and live.”
Hatdawkvah, atu panuek awh, khosak hanlah na ngai awh e hmuen koe roeroe vah, tahloi, takang, lacik hoi na due awh roeroe han telah ati.
