< Jeremiah 38 >

1 Then Shephatiah the sonne of Mattan, and Gedaliah the sonne of Pashur, and Iucal the sonne of Shelemiah, and Pashur the sonne of Malchiah, heard the wordes that Ieremiah had spoken vnto all the people, saying,
Jeremiah loh pilnam pum taengah a thui ol te Mattan capa Shephatiah, Pashur capa Gedaliah, Shelemiah capa Jukal, Malkhiah capa Pashur loh a yaak.
2 Thus sayth the Lord, He that remaineth in this citie, shall dye by the sworde, by the famine and by the pestilence: but hee that goeth foorth to the Caldeans, shall liue: for he shall haue his life for a praye, and shall liue.
“BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. He khopuei kah khosa rhoek te cunghang neh, khokha neh, duektahaw neh duek uh ni. Tedae Khalden taengah aka mop tah hing rhoe hing ni. A hinglu te a taengah kutbuem bangla om vetih hing ni.
3 Thus sayth the Lord, This citie shall surely be giuen into the hand of the King of Babels armie, which shall take it.
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. He khopuei he Babylon manghai caem kut dongah a paek rhoe a paek vetih a loh ni,” a ti.
4 Therefore the Princes sayd vnto the King, We beseech you, let this man be put to death: for thus hee weakeneth the hands of the men of warre that remaine in this citie, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such wordes vnto them: for this man seeketh not the wealth of this people, but the hurt.
Tedae mangpa rhoek loh manghai taengah, “Hekah hlang he duek laeh saeh. He ol lamloh amih taengah a thui ham akhaw he khopuei kah aka sueng caemtloek hlang rhoek kut neh pilnam pum kah kut ni a khah pah. Hekah hlang ngawn tah he pilnam kah ngaimongnah ham lakah yoethaenah ham bueng toem pawt nim?” a ti uh.
5 Then Zedekiah the King sayd, Behold, he is in your hands, for ye King can denie you nothing.
Te dongah manghai Zedekiah loh, “Anih he nangmih kut ah ni a om ne. Nangmih ol te manghai loh a aal thai ngawn moenih,” a ti nah.
6 Then tooke they Ieremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the sonne of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let downe Ieremiah with coards: and in the dungeon there was no water but myre: so Ieremiah stacke fast in the myre.
Te dongah Jeremiah te a khuen uh tih thongim vongup kah manghai capa Malkhiah kah tuito khuila a voeih uh. Jeremiah te rhui neh a colh uh vaengah tangrhom khuiah tui om pawh. Tedae tangnong kak la om tih Jeremiah khaw tangnong dongah buek.
7 Now when Ebed-melech ye blacke More one of ye Eunuches, which was in the kings house, heard that they had put Ieremiah in the dungeon (then the King sate in the gate of Beniamin)
Jeremiah tuito ah a khueh uh te manghai im kah imkhoem Kushi hlang Ebedmelek loh a yaak. Te vaengah manghai te Benjamin vongka ah ngol.
8 And Ebed-melech went out of the Kings house, and spake to the King, saying,
Te dongah Ebedmelek te manghai im lamloh cet tih manghai te a thui pah.
9 My lorde the King, these men haue done euill in all that they haue done to Ieremiah the Prophet, whom they haue cast into the dungeon, and he dyeth for hunger in the place where he is: for there is no more bread in the citie.
“Ka boei manghai aw, he kah hlang rhoek loh thaehuet nen ni tonghma Jeremiah te boeih a saii uh. Anih he tangrhom khuila a voeih uh dae khopuei khuiah buh a om voel pawt dongah khokha ah amah khaw duek ni,” a ti nah.
10 Then the King commanded Ebed-melech the blacke More, saying, Take from hence thirtie men with thee, and take Ieremiah the Prophet out of the dungeon before he dye.
Te dongah manghai loh Kushi Ebedmelek te a uen tih, “Na kut hmukah hlang sawmthum he khuen lamtah tonghma Jeremiah te a duek hlan ah tangrhom lamloh doek laeh,” a ti nah.
11 So Ebed-melech tooke the men with him and went to the house of the King vnder the treasurie, and tooke there olde rotten ragges, and olde worne cloutes, and let them downe by coards into the dungeon to Ieremiah.
Te dongah Ebedmelek loh a kut dongkah hlang rhoek te a kuen tih manghai im thakvoh taengla cet. Te phoeiah himbai rhuem lamkah aka pawn, aka pawn te a loh tih nakkhoe rhuem te tangrhom khuikah Jeremiah taengah rhui neh a hlak pah.
12 And Ebed-melech the blacke More sayde vnto Ieremiah, Put now these olde rotten ragges and worne, vnder thine arme holes, betweene the coards. And Ieremiah did so.
Kushi Ebedmelek loh Jeremiah te, “Himbai rhuem nakpawn neh nakkhoe te na ban sukvai hmuikah rhui dang ah dok ne,” a ti nah tih Jeremiah long khaw a saii van.
13 So they drewe vp Ieremiah with coards and tooke him vp out of the dungeon, and Ieremiah remained in the court of the prison.
Jeremiah te rhui neh a doek uh tih tangrhom lamloh a poh uh. Tedae Jeremiah he thongim vongup ah ni a om.
14 Then Zedekiah the King sent, and tooke Ieremiah the Prophet vnto him, into the thirde entrie that is in the House of the Lord, and the King sayd vnto Ieremiah, I wil aske thee a thing: hide nothing from me.
Te phoeiah manghai Zedekiah loh a tah tih tonghma Jeremiah te BOEIPA im kah a pathum vongka la a khuen. Manghai loh Jeremiah te, “Kai loh nang te ol kan dawt vaengah he kai taengah ol phah boeh ne,” a ti nah.
15 Then Ieremiah sayd to Zedekiah, If I declare it vnto thee, wilt not thou slay me? and if I giue thee counsell, thou wilt not heare me.
Jeremiah loh Zedekiah te, “Nang taengah ka puen atah kai he a duek khaw nan duek sak pawt nim? Nang te khoem kang uen ah pataeng kai taengkah he na hnatun moenih,” a ti nah.
16 So the King sware secretly vnto Ieremiah, saying, As the Lord liueth that made vs these soules, I will not slay thee, nor giue thee into the hands of those men that seeke thy life.
Tedae manghai Zedekiah loh Jeremiah taengah a huep la a toemngam tih, “Hingnah BOEIPA amah loh mamih ham hinglu a saii. Nang te kan duek sak pawt vetih na hinglu aka mae hlang rhoek kut ah khaw nang kan tloeng mahpawh,” a ti nah.
17 Then sayd Ieremiah vnto Zedekiah, Thus sayth the Lord God of hostes, the God of Israel, If thou wilt goe foorth vnto the King of Babels princes, then thy soule shall liue, and this citie shall not be burnt vp with fire, and thou shalt liue, and thine house.
Te dongah Jeremiah loh Zedekiah te, “Israel Pathen caempuei Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Babylon manghai mangpa rhoek taengah a kun rhoe na kun daengah ni na hinglu te hing vetih khopuei he hmai neh a hoeh pawt eh. Te phoeiah namah khaw na imkhui neh na hing ni.
18 But if thou wilt not go forth to the King of Babels princes, then shall this citie be giuen into the hand of ye Caldeans, and they shall burne it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their hands.
Tedae Babylon manghai kah mangpa rhoek taengla na kun pawt koinih khopuei he Khalden kut ah a paek vetih hmai neh a hoeh uh ni. Namah khaw amih kut lamloh na loeih mahpawh,” a ti nah.
19 And Zedekiah the King sayde vnto Ieremiah, I am carefull for the Iewes that are fled vnto the Caldeans, least they deliuer mee into their hands, and they mocke me.
Manghai Zedekiah loh Jeremiah taengah, “Khalden taengah aka kuep Judah rhoek te ka mawn coeng, amih kut ah kai n'tloeng vetih kai he m'poelyoe lah ve,” a ti nah.
20 But Ieremiah sayd, They shall not deliuer thee: hearken vnto the voyce of the Lord, I beseech thee, which I speake vnto thee: so shall it be well vnto thee, and thy soule shall liue.
Jeremiah loh, “N'tloeng mahpawh. Namah taengah ka thui BOEIPA ol te hnatun laeh. Te daengah ni na taengah voelphoeng vetih na hinglu khaw a hing eh.
21 But if thou wilt refuse to go forth, this is the worde that the Lord hath shewed me.
Tedae BOEIPA loh kai n'tueng ol dongah he kun ham na aal atah,
22 And beholde, all the women that are left in the King of Iudahs house, shalbe brought forth to the King of Babels princes: and those women shall say, Thy friends haue perswaded thee, and haue preuailed against thee: thy feete are fastened in the myre, and they are turned backe.
Judah manghai im ah aka sueng huta rhoek te khaw Babylon manghai kah mangpa taengla boeih a khuen uh ni ne. Te vaengah amih loh, “Namah te m'vueh uh tih na ngaimongnah hlang loh namah m'vueinan coeng. Na kho te tuinok dongah buek tih a hnuk la balkhong coeng,’ a ti uh ni.
23 So they shall bring out all thy wiues, and thy children to the Caldeans, and thou shalt not escape out of their hands, but shalt be taken by the hand of the King of Babel: and this citie shalt thou cause to be burnt with fire.
Na yuu neh na ca rhoek te Khalden taengla boeih a khuen uh ni. Namah khaw amih kut lamloh na poenghal pawt vetih Babylon manghai kut loh n'tuuk ni. Te vaengah khopuei he hmai neh a hoeh uh ni,” a ti nah.
24 Then said Zedekiah vnto Ieremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die.
Zedekiah loh Jeremiah te, “He ol he hlang loh a ming pawt daengah ni na duek pawt eh.
25 But if ye princes vnderstand that I haue talked with thee, and they come vnto thee, and say vnto thee, Declare vnto vs nowe, what thou hast sayde vnto the King, hide it not from vs, and we will not slay thee: also what the King sayd vnto thee,
Nang taengah ka thui te mangpa rhoek loh a yaak tih nang taengla ha pawk uh khaming. Te vaengah nang te, 'Kaimih taengah thui laeh, manghai taengah balae na thui? Kaimih taengah phah boeh, nang te kan duek sak uh mahpawh, manghai loh nang taengah balae a thui?' a ti uh atah,
26 Then shalt thou say vnto them, I humbly besought the King that he would not cause me to returne to Iehonathans house, to die there.
amih te, 'Ka lungmacil he manghai mikhmuh ah ka buk coeng, duek sak pahoi ham atah Jonathan im la kai mael sak boeh,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
27 Then came all the princes vnto Ieremiah and asked him. And he tolde them according to all these wordes that the King had commanded: so they left off speaking with him, for the matter was not perceiued.
Mangpa rhoek te Jeremiah taengla boeih ha pawk uh tih anih te a dawt uh. Te vaengah manghai loh a uen ol rhoek te amih taengah boeih a thui. Ol te a yaak uh pawt dongah a taengah hil a phah uh van.
28 So Ieremiah abode still in the court of the prison, vntill the day that Ierusalem was taken: and he was there, when Ierusalem was taken.
Jerusalem a tuuk khohnin duela thongim vongup ah ni Jeremiah a om pueng. Jerusalem a loh vaengah khaw om pueng.
