Jeremiah 37
1 AND king Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
Josiah capa Zedekiah teh Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar ni Judah ram siangpahrang lah ao sak e Jehoiakim capa Koniah yueng lah a bawi.
2 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the words of the Lord, which he spake by the prophet Jeremiah.
Hatei, ama hoi a thaw katawkkungnaw hoi a ram thung kaawm e taminaw ni, profet Jeremiah ni a dei e BAWIPA lawk thai ngai awh hoeh.
3 And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now unto the Lord our God for us.
Siangpahrang Zedekiah ni, Shelemiah capa Jehukal hoi Maaseiah capa vaihma Zephaniah hah profet Jeremiah koe Cathut BAWIPA na ratoum pouh haw telah dei pouh hanelah a patoun.
4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people: for they had not put him into prison.
Jeremiah teh taminaw hoi ama ngai patetlah a paitun rah. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hatnavah thongim thung bawt hoeh rah.
5 Then Pharaoh’s army was come forth out of Egypt: and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they departed from Jerusalem.
Faro ransahu Izip ram hoi a tâco awh toe. Jerusalem kalup e Khaldean taminaw ni ahnimae kamthang a thai awh toteh, Jerusalem a ceitakhai awh.
6 Then came the word of the Lord unto the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Hat toteh, BAWIPA e lawk profet Jeremiah koe a pha.
7 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that sent you unto me to inquire of me; Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.
Isarel Cathut BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, Judah siangpahrang ni kai koe pouknae hei hanelah a patoun e naw koevah, khenhaw! Faro ransahu nangmouh kabawp hanlah kathonaw hah amamae ram Izip lah bout a ban awh han.
8 And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire.
Khaldean taminaw teh ban awh vaiteh, hete khopui heh tuk laihoi a la awh vaiteh hmai a sawi awh han.
9 Thus saith the Lord; Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us: for they shall not depart.
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, Khaldean taminaw ni na ceitakhai awh han telah namahoima kâdum hanh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na ceitakhai awh mahoeh.
10 For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yet should they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.
Nangmouh ka tuk e Khaldean ransahu na tâ awh nakunghai, ahnimouh thung e hmâ ka cat ni teh kaawm rae naw hah amae rim hoi thaw awh vaiteh hete khopui heh, hmaisawi awh roeroe han, telah na dei han telah atipouh.
11 And it came to pass, that when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,
Hahoi, Faro ransahu taki lahoi Khaldean ransanaw ni Jerusalem a ceitakhai awh navah,
12 Then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to separate himself thence in the midst of the people.
Jeremiah ni hote taminaw rahak hoi, a ham la hanelah Benjamin ram dawk kâen hanelah Jerusalem a tâco takhai.
13 And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the ward was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he took Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans.
Benjamin longkha koe a pha navah, ramvengnaw kahrawikung Hananiah capa Shelemiah capa, a min Irijah teh hawvah a la o. Ahni ni Khaldean taminaw hoi na kâkuet telah profet Jeremiah hah a man awh.
14 Then said Jeremiah, It is false; I fall not away to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
Jeremiah ni laithoe doeh. Khaldean taminaw koe ka kâkuen hoeh telah ati. Hatei, thai ngai hoeh. Hat toteh, Irijah ni Jeremiah hah a man teh kahrawikungnaw koe a ceikhai.
15 Wherefore the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison.
Kahrawikungnaw teh Jeremiah koe puenghoi a lungkhuek awh. A hem awh hnukkhu, ca kathutkung Jonathan im e thongim dawk a pabo awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hot teh thongim lah a hmoun e doeh.
16 When Jeremiah was entered into the dungeon, and into the cabins, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;
Jeremiah teh talai thung thongim dawk a kâen teh hawvah, a hnin kasawlah ao.
17 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him out: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from the Lord? And Jeremiah said, There is: for, said he, thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.
Siangpahrang Zedekiah ni tami a patoun teh a tâco sak. Siangpahrang im vah arulahoi a pacei teh ahni koevah, BAWIPA koehoi e lawk ao bangmaw telah a ti.
18 Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, What have I offended against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison?
Jeremiah ni siangpahrang Zedekiah koevah, nama thoseh, na thawtawknaw koe thoseh, hete taminaw koe thoseh, bangpatet lae yonnae maw ka sak teh thongim na paung.
19 Where are now your prophets which prophesied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?
Nang koe Babilon siangpahrang ni tuk hanelah tho mahoeh telah ka dei e na profetnaw hah namaw ao awh.
20 Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted before thee; that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
Oe siangpahrang ka BAWIPA pahren lahoi na thai pouh haw. Ka kâhei e heh dâw haw. Ka kâhei, ca kathutkung Jonathan im lah bout na ban sak hanh, hawvah kadout payon vaih, telah a ti.
21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city were spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
Siangpahrang Zedekiah ni, kâ a poe teh Jeremiah hah ramveng rapan thung vah a paung. Vaiyei kasakkungnaw ni sak e thung hoi hnintangkuem vaiyei phen buet touh khopui thung vaiyei ao roukrak a poe awh. Hottelah Jeremiah teh ramvengnaw e rapan thung vah ao.
