Jeremiah 40
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all the captives of Jerusalem and Judah, that were carried away captive unto Babylon.
Judah hoi Jerusalem hoi san lah ceikhai e naw pueng Babilon lah a ceikhai e naw koevah, Jeremiah hah rui hoi a pâkhi laihoi a ceikhai awh lahun nah, ramvengnaw kahrawikung Nebuzaradan ni Ramah hoi a tâco sak hnukkhu, BAWIPA koehoi Jeremiah koe ka phat e lawk teh,
2 And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said unto him: 'The LORD thy God pronounced this evil upon this place;
ramvengnaw kahrawikung ni Jeremiah hah a ceikhai teh ahni koevah, BAWIPA na Cathut ni hete hmuen koe ka tho hane kahawihoehe hah a pâpho toe.
3 and the LORD hath brought it, and done according as He spoke; because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not hearkened to His voice, therefore this thing is come upon you.
Hahoi, BAWIPA ni a dei e patetlah a kuep sak. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA taranlahoi yonnae na sak awh teh, a lawk hah na tarawi awh hoeh, hatdawkvah hete hnonaw nangmae lathueng vah a pha.
4 And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains which are upon thy hand. If it seem good unto thee to come with me into Babylon, come, and I will look well unto thee; but if it seem ill unto thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear; behold, all the land is before thee; whither it seemeth good and right unto thee to go, thither go. —
Atu khenhaw! na kut dawk e sumrui dawk hoi sahnin na hlout sak. Babilon lah kai koe na tho hane na ngai pawiteh tho, na khetyawt han. Hatei Babilon lah kai koe tho hanlah na ngai hoehpawiteh, hivah awm yawkaw. Khenhaw! ramnaw pueng na hmalah ao, na lungkuep e hoi ahawi na tie hmuen koe cet yawkaw telah ati.
5 Yet he would not go back. — Go back then to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people; or go wheresoever it seemeth right unto thee to go.' So the captain of the guard gave him an allowance and a present, and let him go.
Jeremiah teh a ban hoehnahlan vah, Nebuzaradan ni, Judah khopuinaw lathueng vah ukkung hane hah Babilon siangpahrang ni a hruek e Shaphan capa, Ahikam capa Gedaliah koe vah ban nateh, tamimaya koevah awmh, hoehpawiteh na ngainae koe pueng vah cet yawkaw telah ati.
6 Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah, and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land.
Hat toteh, ramvengnaw kahrawikung ni canei hane hoi poehnonaw a poe teh a ceisak. Jeremiah teh Ahikam capa Gedaliah koe Mizpah kho dawk a cei teh hote ram dawk kaawm e taminaw koe ao.
7 Now when all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, even they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed unto him men, and women, and children, and of the poorest of the land, of them that were not carried away captive to Babylon;
Hahoi ransahu kaukkungnaw kahrawngum kaawm e amamouh hoi a uk e taminaw ni Babilon siangpahrang ni Ahikam capa Gedaliah hah teh ram dawk e tami karoedengnaw Babilon vah ceikhai e naw hah a kut dawk a ta tie a thai awh toteh,
8 then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.
Mizpah kho Gedaliah koe a tho awh, Nethaniah capa Ishmael, Kareah capa Johanan hoi Jonathan hoi Tanhumeth capa Seraiah hoi Netophath tami Ephai capa naw hoi Maakath tami e capa Jezaniah tinaw hoi a sannaw hoi,
9 And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan swore unto them and to their men, saying: 'Fear not to serve the Chaldeans; dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
hahoi, Saphan capa Ahikam capa, Gedaliah ni amamouh hoi a kut rahim e taminaw koe, Khaldean taminaw thaw tawk e hah taket hanh awh, ram thung vah karoumcalah awm awh, Babilon siangpahrang e thaw tawk awh, nangmouh hanlah ahawi han.
10 As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, to stand before the Chaldeans that may come unto us; but ye, gather ye wine and summer fruits and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that ye have taken.'
Kai na pâlei teh, Mizpah kho dawk ka o han. Khaldean tami ka hmalah ka tho hane naw koevah, nangmouh yueng lah ka kangdue han, nangmouh teh misur tui hoi kompawi paw, satuinaw hah lat awh nateh, a um dawk pâtung awh nateh na la awh e kho dawk khosak awh, telah lawkkamnae a sak.
11 Likewise when all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the children of Ammon, and in Edom, and that were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan;
Hottelah, Judah taminaw Moab ram dawk kho ka sak e, Ammon taminaw koe kho ka sak e hoi Edom ram dawk kho ka sak e hoi ramlouk lah kaawmnaw ni Babilon siangpahrang ni Judah tami tangawn a ceitakhai teh, ahnimouh lathueng vah Shaphan capa, Ahikam capa Gedaliah hah a tâ tie a thai awh toteh,
12 then all the Jews returned out of all places whither they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, unto Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits in great abundance.
Judah taminaw pâleinae hmuen koehoi a ban awh teh, Judah ram e Mizpah kho Gedaliah koevah, a tho awh teh misur hoi kompawi pawnaw moi a thokhai awh.
13 Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,
Hothloilah, Koreah capa Johanan hoi ransahu kahrawikung e ram rahim kaawmnaw pueng Mizpah kho e Gedaliah koe a tho awh teh,
14 and said unto him: 'Dost thou know that Baalis the king of the children of Ammon hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to take thy life?' But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not.
Ammon taminaw siangpahrang Baalis ni na thei hanlah Nethaniah capa, Ishmael a patoun tie na panue maw telah ati awh. Hatei, Ahikam capa Gedaliah ni yuem hoeh.
15 Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying: 'Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it; wherefore should he take thy life, that all the Jews that are gathered unto thee should be scattered, and the remnant of Judah perish?'
Hahoi, Koreah capa Johanan ni Mizpah kho e Gedaliah koevah, kai na cetsak haw, Nethaniah capa Ishmael teh ka thet vai, apinihai panuek mahoeh. Bangkongmaw na thei awh vaiteh, nang koe kaawm e Judah taminaw kâkapek vaiteh due awh han telah arulahoi a dei.
16 But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said unto Johanan the son of Kareah: 'Thou shalt not do this thing; for thou speakest falsely of Ishmael.'
Hatei, Ahikam capa Gedaliah ni Koreah capa Johanan koevah, hete hno heh na sak hane nahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Ishmael e kong dawk na dei e atang nahoeh, telah ati.
