Jeremiah 29
1 Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the residue of the elders which were carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon;
Profet Jeremiah ni Jerusalem vah san lah kaawm rae kacuenaw, vaihma hoi profet, Nebukhadnezar ni Jerusalem hoi Babilon lah a ceikhai e naw thung dawk hoi kaawm rae naw koe ca a patawn e teh,
2 (After that Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the smiths, were departed from Jerusalem; )
siangpahrang Jekoniah hoi siangpahrangnu, tuenlanaw, Judah tami, Jerusalem kaukkung, kutsakkathoumnaw hoi sumdeinaw ni Jerusalem a tâco takhai awh hnukkhu.
3 By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon) saying,
Saphan capa Eleasah hoi Hilkiah capa Gemariah tinaw e kut dawk a patawn. Hotnaw teh Judah siangpahrang Hezekiah ni Babilon ram lah Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar koe a patoun e naw doeh.
4 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon;
Ransahu BAWIPA, Isarel Cathut ni san lah ceikhai e naw pueng, Jerusalem hoi Babilon lah san lah a ceisak e naw pueng koe hettelah a dei.
5 Build you houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;
Im sak awh nateh haw vah khosak awh. Takha sak awh nateh a pawnaw cat awh.
6 Take you wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that you may be increased there, and not diminished.
Yu lat awh nateh canunaw capanaw tawn awh. Hottelah canu capa tawn thai nahanlah na capanaw hanlah yu paluen pouh awh, haw vah takangnae awm laipalah pungdaw awh.
7 And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray to the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall you have peace.
San lah na osaknae khopui hanelah roumnae tawng awh nateh BAWIPA koe het awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh roumnae koe roumnae na hmu awh han.
8 For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the middle of you, deceive you, neither listen to your dreams which you cause to be dreamed.
Ransahu BAWIPA, Isarel Cathut ni hettelah a dei, nangmouh thung e profetnaw hoi camkathoumnaw ni na dumyen hanh naseh. mangkamangnaw yuem pouh hanh awh.
9 For they prophesy falsely to you in my name: I have not sent them, says the LORD.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kaie min hno lahoi laithoe a dei awh, kai ni ka patounnaw nahoeh, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
10 For thus says the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, Babilon teh kum 70 touh akuep toteh ka hloe vaiteh, nangmouh koevah kahawi e ka lawk kakuep sak vaiteh hete hmuen koe boutbout na bankhai awh han.
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmae kong dawk ka lungpouk teh ka panue. Nangmouh ngaihawinae apout toteh ngaihawinae poe hane hawihoehnae laipalah hawinae koe lah doeh ka pouk, teh lah BAWIPA ni a dei.
12 Then shall you call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
Hattoteh nangmouh ni kai na tawng awh han, na tho awh vaiteh kai koe na ratoum awh vaiteh kai ni na thai pouh han.
13 And you shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart.
Nangmouh ni kai na tawng awh vaiteh na lungthin buemlah hoi na tawng awh toteh na hmu awh han.
14 And I will be found of you, said the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places where I have driven you, says the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place from where I caused you to be carried away captive.
Na hmu awh e lah ka o han, telah BAWIPA ni dei. San lah na o awh hmuen koehoi na bankhai awh han, miphun tangkuem dawk na kâkaheisaknae hmuen koehoi na pâkhueng awh han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei. San lah na mansaknae hmuen koe roeroe vah na hrawi han.
15 Because you have said, The LORD has raised us up prophets in Babylon;
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni Babilon ram dawk hai profet na ta pouh telah na ti awh.
16 Know that thus says the LORD of the king that sits on the throne of David, and of all the people that dwells in this city, and of your brothers that are not gone forth with you into captivity;
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni Devit bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung e siangpahrang e kong hoi hete khopui dawk kho ka sak e taminaw kong hoi san lah hrawi hoeh e na hmaunawnghanaw e kong dawk hettelah a dei.
17 Thus says the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send on them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
Ransabawi, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Khenhaw! ahnimae lathueng vah tahloi, takang hoi lacik ka pha sak vaiteh, thaibunglung paw ca han kahawihoehe patetlah ka coungsak han.
18 And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations where I have driven them:
Hahoi tahloi, takang lacik hoi ka pâlei awh han. Ahnimouh ru sak hanelah tailai uknaeram pueng koe ka poe han, ahnimouh koe ka patawnnae miphunnaw e rahak vah thoebo e tami, kângairu e, pacekpahlek e, hoi dudam e taminaw lah ka o sak han.
19 Because they have not listened to my words, says the LORD, which I sent to them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but you would not hear, said the LORD.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh koe ka patoun e ka san profetnaw hno lahoi ka lawk banglahai ngâi awh hoeh, telah BAWIPA ni ati. Amom ka thaw teh ka pâtam ei na thai ngai kalawn awh hoeh, telah BAWIPA ni ati.
20 Hear you therefore the word of the LORD, all you of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon:
Hatdawkvah, nangmouh Jerusalem hoi Babilon lah ka patoun teh san lah kaawmnaw pueng, BAWIPA e lawk thai awh haw.
21 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, of Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, which prophesy a lie to you in my name; Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes;
Ransahu BAWIPA, Isarel Cathut ni Kolaiah capa Ahab hoi Maaseiah capa Zedekiah e min lahoi nangmouh koe laithoe ka dei e kong dawk hettelah a dei. Khenhaw! Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar e kut dawk ka poe vaiteh nangmae mithmu roeroe vah a man awh han.
22 And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah which are in Babylon, saying, The LORD make you like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;
Ahnimae kong dawk, Babilon ram e Judah tami san lah kaawmnaw pueng ni, Babilon siangpahrang ni hmai dawk pâeng e Zedekiah hoi Ahab patetlah BAWIPA ni nangmae lathueng vah sak naseh, tie thoebonae lawk dawk, a pâkuem awh han.
23 Because they have committed villainy in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and am a witness, says the LORD.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarel ram dawk hnokathout a sak awh teh, a imri e yu koe a uicuk awh teh kaie min hno laihoi kâ ka poe hoeh e laithoe lawknaw a dei awh. Kai kama doeh kapanuekkung hoi kapanuekkhaikung lah ka o, telah BAWIPA ni ati.
24 Thus shall you also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,
Nehelam tami Shemaiah kong dawk hai nang ni hettelah na dei han.
25 Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because you have sent letters in your name to all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
Isarel Cathut, ransahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, Jerusalem e taminaw pueng koe hai thoseh, nang namae min roeroe lahoi ca na patawn, tet pouh.
26 The LORD has made you priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that you should be officers in the house of the LORD, for every man that is mad, and makes himself a prophet, that you should put him in prison, and in the stocks.
Tamipathunaw hoi profet lah kakâsaknaw pueng thongim thung na paung teh hlawngbuet sak hanelah BAWIPA ni vaihma Jehoiada e yueng lah vaihma lah na o sak teh, BAWIPA e im khenyawnkung lah na o.
27 Now therefore why have you not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, which makes himself a prophet to you?
Hatdawkvah, bangkongmaw Anathoth tami Jeremiah nang koevah profet ka kâtet e na yue hoeh.
28 For therefore he sent to us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long: build you houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Babilon vah kai koevah ca na patawn teh santoungnae teh asaw han rah, im sak awh, haw vah khosak awh, takhanaw sak awh nateh, a pawnaw cat awh telah ati.
29 And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
Hahoi vaihma Zephaniah ni hote ca teh profet Jeremiah thainae koe a touk.
30 Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah, saying,
Hahoi, Jeremiah koe BAWIPA e lawk a pha.
31 Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus says the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah has prophesied to you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie:
Sankatoungnaw pueng koe Nehelam tami Shemaiah kong dawk BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, kai ni ka patoun hoeh e Shemaiah ni nang koe lawk a dei telah laithoe lawknaw na yuem sak awh.
32 Therefore thus says the LORD; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, said the LORD; because he has taught rebellion against the LORD.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Khenhaw! Nehelam tami Shemaiah hoi a imthungnaw ka rek han. Hete hmuen koe khokasaknaw rahak vah tami buet touh hai tawn mahoeh. Ka taminaw hanlah ka sak hane hnokahawi hah hmawt van mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh BAWIPA taranlahoi taranthawnae a cangkhai.
