Jeremiah 44
1 This is the message that came to Jeremiah regarding all the people of Judah living in Egypt—in Migdol, Tahpanhes, and Memphis—and in Upper Egypt.
Izip prae, Mikdol, Tahpanhes, Noph hoi Pathros ah kaom Judah kaminawk boih kawng pongah Jeremiah khaeah lok angzoh;
2 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: You saw the complete disaster that I brought down on Jerusalem and all the towns of Judah. You can see how today they're ruined and abandoned
misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah, Jerusalem hoi Judah vangpuinawk boih nuiah ka phaksak ih amrohaih to na hnuk o boih boeh; to ahmuennawk loe vaihni ah pong sut boeh, mi mah doeh om o haih ai boeh,
3 because of the evil they did. They made me angry by burning incense and serving other gods that they hadn't ever known, and you and your forefathers hadn't known either.
Judah kaminawk, nangcae hoi nam panawk loe panoek ai ih kalah sithawnawk ih tok to sak pae o moe, hmuihoih thlaek hanah a caeh o, a sak o ih kahoih ai hmuennawk hoiah Kai palung ang phui o sak.
4 I sent you all my servants the prophets time and again to warn you: “Don't do these offensive things that I hate.”
Khawnthaw ah kang thawk moe, nangcae boih khaeah ka tamna tahmaanawk to kang patoeh, nihcae mah Aw ka hnukma ih hae panuet thok hmuen hae sah o hmah! tiah ang thuih o.
5 But you refused to listen or to pay attention. You didn't stop their wickedness or burning incense in worship of other gods.
Toe nihcae mah tahngai o ai, a sak o ih kasae hmuen amlaem taak hanah, naa doeh patueng o ai, kalah sithawnawk khaeah hmuihoih thlaekhaih doeh toengh o ai.
6 That's why my furious anger poured out and set fire to the towns of Judah and burned in the streets of Jerusalem, making them the abandoned ruins they still are today.
To pongah palung ka phuihaih to ka kraih thuih, Judah vangpuinawk hoi Jerusalem loklamnawk to kangh moe, vaihni ah na hnuk o ih kaom hmuen baktiah amro pacoengah pong sut boeh, tiah thuih.
7 So this is what the Lord God Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Why are you hurting yourselves so badly by removing from Judah every man, woman, child, infant, so you don't have anyone left?
To pongah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah, Tipongah nangcae khue ai, Judah kaminawk thung ih nongpa hoi nongpata, nawkta hoi tahnu nae li nawktanawk khoek to anghmat ai ah tamit boih moe, nangmacae hinghaih amro hanah kalen parai sethaih to na sak o loe?
8 Why are you making me angry by what you do, burning incense to other gods in Egypt where you have come to live? Because if this you will be destroyed, and will you will become a curse word, an expression of condemnation among all the nations on earth.
Egypt prae ah ban hoi na sak o ih hmuen, kalah sithawnawk khaeah hmuihoih thlaek hoiah kai palung nang phui o sak. Nangmacae hoi nangmacae nang hum o moe, long nui ih kaminawk boih salakah padaeng ih kami, kasaethuih ih kami ah na oh o.
9 Have you forgotten the evil of your forefathers and the evil of the kings of Judah and the evil of their wives, as well as your own evil and the evil your wives, all practiced in the country of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Judah prae hoi Jerusalem ih loklamnawk ah, nam panawk, Judah siangpahrangnawk, siangpahrang zunawk mah sak o ih sethaih, nangmacae hoi na zunawk mah sak o ih sethaihnawk na pahnet o boeh maw?
10 Even up to now you haven't shown any remorse or reverence. You haven't followed my rules and regulations I gave you and your forefathers.
Nihcae loe vaihni ni khoek to poeknaem o ai vop, zithaih doeh tawn o ai, nangcae hoi nam panawk hmaa ah ka suek ih ka paek ih lok hoi ka patuk ih loknawk doeh pazui o ai.
11 So this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am determined to bring disaster and to wipe out everyone from Judah.
To pongah misatuh Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah, khenah, nangcae nuiah amrohaih ka phaksak moe, Judah kaminawk tamit boih hanah mikhmai ka paqoi han.
12 I'm going to destroy you who are left who decided to go to Egypt to live there. You will die there, killed by the sword or by famine. Whoever you are, from the least to the most important, you're going to die by sword or by famine; and you will become a curse word, something horrible, an insult, an expression of condemnation.
Izip prae ah caeh moe, khosak hanah mikhmai paqoi kaminawk loe Izip prae ah anghmaa angtaa o boih tih; nihcae to sumsen hoi khokhahaih mah paduek tih; kathoeng koek hoi kalen koek khoek to, sumsen hoi khokhahaih mah paduek tih; padaenghaih, dawnraihaih, tangoenghaih hoi kasae thuih ih kami ah om o tih. Toe kanghmat Judah kaminawk loe kai mah ka lak han.
13 I'm going to punish you who live in Egypt like I punished Jerusalem, by war and famine and disease.
Jerusalem loe sumsen, khokhahaih, kasae nathaih hoiah ka thuitaek baktih toengah, Izip prae ah kaom kaminawk to ka thuitaek han;
14 Nobody who is left from Judah who has gone to live in Egypt will escape or survive to return to the country of Judah. You long to go back and live there, but nobody will return except a few stragglers.
to pongah Izip ah khosak han kacaeh, kanghmat Judah kaminawk loe Judah prae ah amlaem o let moe, khosak han koeh o cadoeh, maeto doeh loih o mak ai, mi doeh anghmat mak ai; loih kaminawk khue ai ah loe mi doeh amlaem o mak tih, tiah thuih.
15 All the men who knew that their wives were burning incense to other gods, and all the women who were there, a great crowd of people, those living in Egypt and Upper Egypt all told Jeremiah,
Nihcae zunawk loe kalah sithawnawk khaeah hmuihoih thlaek o, tiah panoek nongpanawk boih, a taengah angdoe nongpatanawk boih, pop parai kaminawk, Izip prae ah kaom kaminawk boih, Pathros ah kaom kaminawk boih mah Jeremiah khaeah,
16 “Even though you say this message is from the Lord, we're not going to listen to you”
Angraeng hmin hoi kaicae khaeah nang thuih ih lok to ka tahngai o mak ai!
17 In fact we're going to do everything we said we would. We'll burn incense to the Queen of Heaven and offer drink offerings to worship her as we did before, just like our fathers, our kings, and our officials who did the same things in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. Back then we had plenty of food and we were well off and nothing bad happened to us.
kaimacae, kam panawk, siangpahrangnawk hoi angraengnawk mah, Judah vangpui hoi Jerusalem loklamnawk ah sak o zong ih hmuen baktih toengah, van siangpahrang zu khaeah, hmuihoih to thlaek moe, tui angbawnhaih sak hanah, kaimacae pakha hoi tacawt baktih toengah ka sak o halat han boeh; kaicae loe caaknaek ka tawnh o mangh moe, nathaih om ai ah, khosak ka hoih o, tiah a naa o.
18 But ever since we stopped burning incense to the Queen of Heaven and pouring out drink offerings to worship her, we've lost everything and have been dying as a result of war and famine.
Toe van siangpahrang zu khaeah, hmuihoih thlaekhaih, tui angbawnhaih sah ai ah ka oh o naah loe, tih hmuen doeh ka tawn o ai, sumsen, khokhahaih hoiah ni kam ro o, tiah a naa o.
19 “On top of that,” the women added, “when we burned incense to the Queen of Heaven and poured out drink offerings to worship her, did we do this without our husbands knowing about it, that we baked cakes stamped with her image and poured out drink offerings to worship her?”
Nongpatanawk mah, Van siangpahrang zu khaeah hmuihoih ka thlaek o, tui angbawnhaih ka sak o pacoengah, anih to ka bok o: to tiah anih khaeah ka sak o ih tui angbawnhaih hoi takaw kae sakhaih to ka savanawk panoek ai ah ni ka sak o, tito na poek o maw? tiah a naa o.
20 Jeremiah replied to all the people, both men and women, who were responding to him,
To naah Jeremiah mah, Nongpanawk, nongpatanawk hoi kaminawk boih, anih ih lok pathim kaminawk boih khaeah,
21 “About that incense you burned to other gods in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, as well as your fathers, your kings, your officials, and the ordinary people—don't you think the Lord wouldn't remember and think about it?
Judah vangpui hoi Jerusalem loklamnawk ah nangcae hoi nam panawk, nangcae ih siangpahrangnawk, nangcae ih angraengnawk hoi prae kaminawk mah na thlaek o ih hmuihoih to Angraeng mah panoek ai, poek doeh poek mak ai, tiah na poek o maw?
22 The Lord couldn't take it anymore—the evil things you did and your disgusting acts—so your country was turned into an uninhabited wasteland, a place of horror and a curse word to others, as it still is today.
Na sak o ih kasae hmuennawk, panuet thok hmuennawk to Angraeng mah pauep thai ai boeh; vaihni ah kaom hmuen baktih toengah, na prae thungah kami om ai boeh, angqai krang boeh moe, dawnrai koi kaom ahmuen hoi tangoeng ih ahmuen ah oh boeh.
23 As you can see today, the disaster you've experienced happened because you burned incense to other gods and sinned against the Lord, refusing to listen to the Lord or to follow his instructions, his rules, and his regulations.”
Hmuihoih na thlaek o, Angraeng nuiah na zae o, Angraeng ih lok to na tahngai o ai, ang paek o ih kaalok, ang patuk o ih lok hoi a thuih ih loknawk to na pazui o ai pongah, vaihni ah na hnuk o ih hmuen baktih toengah, hae sethaih loe nangcae nuiah phak boeh, tiah a naa.
24 Then Jeremiah told everyone, including all the women, “Listen to the Lord's message, all you people from Judah living here in Egypt.
Jeremiah mah kaminawk boih hoi nongpatanawk boih khaeah, Izip prae ah kaom Judah kaminawk boih, Angraeng ih lok hae tahngai oh.
25 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: You and your wives, you've said what you're going to do, and you've done what you said! You said, ‘We're going to keep our promise to burn incense to the Queen of Heaven and to pour out drink offerings to worship her.’ So go ahead! Do what you've said! Keep your promises!
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah, Nangmacae hoi na zunawk mah, van siangpahrang zu khaeah, hmuihoih to thlaek o moe, anih khaeah tui angbawnhaih ka sak o han, tiah thuih ih lok ka pazui o han, tiah pakha hoi na thuih o baktih toengah, ban hoi na koep o sak boeh; na thuih o ih lok to akoep o sak ah loe, na thuih o ih lok baktih toengah sah oh! tiah thuih, tiah a naa.
26 But even so, listen to what the Lord says, all you people from Judah living here in Egypt: I guarantee by all that I am, says the Lord, that none of you living in the Egypt will ever use my name or swear, ‘As the Lord God lives.’
To pongah Izip prae ah kaom Judah kaminawk boih, Angraeng ih lok to tahngai oh; khenah, Angraeng mah, Izip prae thung boih ah kaom, Judah kaminawk boih mah, Angraeng Sithaw loe hing, tiah ka hmin to thui o mak ai boeh, tiah kalen parai ka hmin hoiah lokkamhaih to ka sak boeh, tiah thuih, tiah a naa.
27 I will take care of them in the bad sense, and not in the good sense. All the people from Judah who are in Egypt will die by sword or famine, until they are wiped out.
Khenah, hoihhaih hnuksak han ih na ai ah, sethaih hnuksak han ih ni ka khet han boeh; Izip prae ah kaom Judah kaminawk loe sumsen, khokhahaih hoiah anghma o boih tih.
28 Those who manage to avoid being killed by the sword will go back to Judah from Egypt. But there will only be a few of them, and then all who were left from Judah and went to live in Egypt will know who's telling the truth—me or them!
Izip prae ah sumsen hoi kaloih thoemto kaminawk loe Judah prae ah amlaem o let tih; to naah Izip prae ah khosak hanah kacaeh, kanghmat Judah kaminawk mah, Kai ih lok maw kacak, to tih ai boeh loe nihcae ih lok, tito panoek o tih.
29 This is your sign to prove that I'm going to punish you here, declares the Lord, so that you'll know for certain that my threats against you will really happen.
Angraeng mah, Hae ahmuen ah nangcae kang thuitaek han, na sak o ih zaehaih pongah kang thuitaek han, tiah ka thuih ih lok loe cak poe, tiah na panoek o tih; hae loe nangcae han angmathaih ah om tih, tiah thuih.
30 This is what the Lord says: Look! I'm going to hand over Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt to his enemies who are trying to kill him, in the same way that I handed over Zedekiah king of Judah to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, his enemy who was trying to kill him.”
Angraeng mah, Khenah, Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah loe anih hinghaih pakrong, a misa, Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar ban ah ka paek baktih toengah, Izip siangpahrang Faro-Hopra doeh anih hinghaih pakrong, a misanawk ban ah ka paek han, tiah thuih.
