< Jeremiah 42 >

1 Then all the captaines of the hoste, and Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and Iezaniah the sonne of Hoshaaiah, and all the people from the least vnto the most came,
Caem mangpa boeih, Kareah capa Johanan, Hoshaiah capa Jezaniah neh pilnam he tanoe lamloh kangham duela boeih mop uh tih,
2 And saide vnto Ieremiah the Prophete, Heare our prayer, we beseeche thee, and pray for vs vnto the Lord thy God, euen for all this remnant (for we are left, but a fewe of many, as thine eyes doe beholde)
tonghma Jeremiah taengah, “Kaimih kah lungmacil he na mikhmuh ah buk mai saeh lamtah kaimih ham neh a meet boeih ham he BOEIPA na Pathen taengah thangthui laeh. Na mik loh a hmuh bangla mamih he hlangping lamloh hlangsi la n'cul coeng.
3 That the Lord thy God may shewe vs the way wherein wee may walke, and the thing that we may doe.
A longpuei ah pongpa ham neh a ol bangla saii ham te BOEIPA na Pathen loh kaimih taengah ha puen bitni,” a ti nauh.
4 Then Ieremiah the Prophet said vnto them, I haue heard you: behold, I will pray vnto ye Lord your God according to your wordes, and whatsoeuer thing the Lord shall answere you, I will declare it vnto you: I will keepe nothing backe from you.
Te vaengah tonghma Jeremiah loh amih te, “Ka yaak ngawn ne, nangmih ol bangla BOEIPA na Pathen taengah ka thangthui ngawn, BOEIPA loh nangmih ham a thui ol te boeih ana om bitni. Nangmih taengah ka puen vetih nangmih ham ol ka tuem mahpawh,” a ti nah.
5 Then they said to Ieremiah, The Lord be a witnesse of trueth, and faith betweene vs, if we doe not, euen according to all things for ye which the Lord thy God shall send thee to vs.
Te dongah amih loh Jeremiah taengah, “Mamih taengah oltak neh uepom laipai la BOEIPA he om saeh. BOEIPA na Pathen loh kaimih ham nang taengah ol cungkuem han tueih bangla ka saii uh tangloeng mahpawt nim?
6 Whether it be good or euill, we will obey the voyce of the Lord God, to whom we sende thee that it may be well with vs, when wee obey the voyce of the Lord our God.
BOEIPA mamih kah Pathen ol tah, then cakhaw, thae cakhaw kaimih nan tueih bangla ka ngai uh bitni. Te daengah ni mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA ol te ka hnatun uh vetih kaimih ham a voelphoeng eh?,” a ti uh.
7 And so after ten dayes came the word of the Lord vnto Ieremiah.
A hnin rha a bawtnah a pha vaengah tah BOEIPA ol te Jeremiah taengla ha pawk.
8 Then called he Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and all the captaines of the hoste, which were with him, and all ye people from ye least to the most,
Te dongah Kareah capa Johanan neh a taengkah caem mangpa boeih, pilnam boeih te tanoe lamloh kangham duela a khue.
9 And saide vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, vnto whom ye sent me to present your prayers before him,
Te vaengah amih te, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Nangmih kah lungmacil te amah mikhmuh ah khuen ham amah taengla kai nan tueih uh.
10 If ye will dwell in this land, then I wil build you, and not destroy you, and I will plant you, and not roote you out: for I repent me of the euill that I haue done vnto you.
He khohmuen ah na mael tih na om atah nangmih te kan thoh vetih kan koengloeng voel mahpawh. Nangmih te kam phung vetih kam phu mahpawh. Nangmih sokah ka saii boethae khaw damti coeng.
11 Feare not for the King of Babel, of whom ye are afraide: be not afraid of him, saith the Lord: for I am with you, to saue you, and to deliuer you from his hand,
A mikhmuh ah na rhih uh Babylon manghai te khaw rhih uh boeh. Anih te rhih uh boeh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Nangmih khang ham neh a kut lamloh nangmih huul ham ni nangmih taengah ka om.
12 And I will graunt you mercie that he may haue compassion vpon you, and he shall cause you to dwell in your owne land.
Nangmih taengah haidamnah ka khueh vetih nangmih te kan haidam ni. Te vaengah nangmih te namah khohmuen la kam mael puei ni.
13 But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither heare the voyce of the Lord your God,
Tedae, ‘He khohmuen ah khosa boel sih,’ na ti uh cakhaw BOEIPA na pathen ol te na hnatun pawt dongah ni.
14 Saying, Nay, but we will goe into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no warre, nor heare the sounde of the trumpet, nor haue hunger of bread, and there will we dwell,
“Egypt kho te ka paan bitni. Te ah tah caemtloek m'hmu pawt vetih tuki ol khaw n'ya mahpawh, buh dongah khaw n'lamlum kolla kho n'sak ni,’ ti uh boeh.
15 (And nowe therefore heare the worde of the Lord, ye remnant of Iudah: thus sayeth the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, If ye set your faces to enter into Egypt, and goe to dwell there)
Te dongah Judah kah a meet aw, BOEIPA ol he hnatun tangloeng laeh. Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Egypt la caeh ham nangmih loh na maelhmai te na khueh la na khueh coeng atah, bakuep ham pahoi cet uh.
16 Then the sworde that ye feared, shall take you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, for the which ye care, shall there hang vpon you in Egypt, and there shall ye die.
Tedae Egypt khohmuen ah khaw na rhih cunghang te ana om vetih nangmih te n'kae ni. Na mawn thil uh khokha loh Egypt kah nangmih hnuk ah balak vetih pahoi na duek uh ni.
17 And all the men that set their faces to enter into Egypt to dwell there, shall die by ye sword, by the famine and by the pestilence, and none of them shall remaine nor escape from the plague, that I will bring vpon them.
Egypt ah bakuep ham neh caeh hamla a maelhmai aka khueh hlang boeih te ana om ngawn saeh. Amih te cunghang neh khokha neh, duektahaw dongah ni pahoi a duek uh eh. Amih soah ka thoeng sak boethae hmai lamloh rhaengnaeng neh hlangyong khaw amih ah om mahpawh.
18 For thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, As mine anger and my wrath hath bene powred foorth vpon the inhabitants of Ierusalem: so shall my wrath be powred foorth vpon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt, and ye shall be a detestation, and an astonishment, and a curse and a reproche, and ye shall see this place no more.
Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Jerusalem khosa rhoek soah ka thintoek neh ka kosi a bo bangla, Egypt la na caeh uh vaengah khaw nangmih soah ka kosi he bo van ni. Te vaengah thaephoeinah neh imsuep la, rhunkhuennah neh kokhahnah la na om uh vetih he hmuen he koep na hmuh uh mahpawh.
19 O ye remnant of Iudah, the Lord hath said concerning you, Goe not into Egypt: knowe certeinely that I haue admonished you this day.
Judah kah a meet nangmih taengah BOEIPA loh a thui coeng. Egypt la na caeh uh pawt ham tahae khohnin ah nangmih kang hih he ming rhoela ming uh.
20 Surely ye dissembled in your hearts When ye sent me vnto the Lord your God, saying, Pray for vs vnto the Lord our God, and declare vnto vs euen according vnto al that the Lord our God shall say, and we will doe it.
BOEIPA na Pathen taengla kai nan tueih uh vaengah na hinglu dongah na hmaang rhoe na hmaang uh coeng tih, “Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA taengah kaimih yueng thangthui lamtah, mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA loh a thui boeih te kaimih taengah ha puen lamtah ka saii uh bitni,” na ti uh.
21 Therefore I haue this day declared it you, but you haue not obeyed the voyce of the Lord your God, nor any thing for the which he hath sent me vnto you.
Nangmih taengah ka puen dae tahae khohnin ah khaw BOEIPA na Pathen ol te na hnatun uh moenih. A cungkuem dongah kai ni nangmih taengla n'tueih.
22 Nowe therefore, knowe certeinely that ye shall die by the sworde, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to goe and dwell.
Paan ham neh bakuep ham na ngaih hmuen ah cunghang neh, khokha neh, duektahaw neh na duek uh ham te ming rhoela ming van laeh.
