Jeremiah 38
1 Then Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchiah, heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken unto all the people, saying,
Mattan chapa Shephatiah ahin, Pashhur chapa Gedaliah ahin, Shelemiah chapa Jehucal ahin, chule Malkijah chapa Pashhur ahin, amaho hin, mipi henga Jeremiah in ipi aseijing ham, ti ajahsoh keiyu ahi. Aman aseijing chu,
2 Thus saith YHWH, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life for a prey, and shall live.
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Koi hijongle Jerusalem khopia umden ho chu, chemjam’a thidiu, kelthoh a chule natna hise chom chom’a thidiu ahi. Amavang koi hileh Babylon mite henga kipelut ho chu hingdoh diu ahi.
3 Thus saith YHWH, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which shall take it.
Chule Pakaiyin hitin jong aseiye, Jerusalem khopi hi Babylon mitesepaiho khut a kipedoh teiding, chule amahon hiche khopi hi alah dingu ahi,” atijing ahi.
4 Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.
Hichun vaipo ho chu lengpa kom’a alut uvin, hitin agasei uve. Kapu hiche mipa hi that jengin. Aman hitobang thu aseijeh in, khopi sunga sepaite umsun jong alungu asuneo gamtan, chule mipite jong alung lengvai gamtauvin ahi. Hitobang mihi nam ngailulou ahi, agatiuve.
5 Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand: for the king is not he that can do any thing against you.
Zedekiah lengpan jong, amaho sei chu anomtan, “Aphai, nanghon nagel u chu ama chunga bol jengun, keiman nangho douna ima kasei louhel ding ahi,” atitai.
6 Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire: so Jeremiah sunk in the mire.
Hijeh chun vaipo ho chun Jeremiah aman un, leng inpi ngahpa inkom’a lengpa chapa Malkijah twikul a chun khaovin akhailha tauvin ahi. Twikul chu twi umloupet ahin, atolanga bonnang um ahi. Bonnang lah a chun Jeremiah alhumlut tan ahi.
7 Now when Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs which was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin;
Hichun leng inpia vaihom thuche tah khat, Ethiopia mi Ebed-melech kitipa chun, Jeremiah chu twikul a alehlut tauve, ti ajatan ahi. Hichepet a chu, lengpan Benjamin kelkot phungathutan’a atoupet ahi.
8 Ebed-melech went forth out of the king's house, and spake to the king, saying,
Hijeh chun, Ebed-melech jong leng inpia kon in alhaijel in lengpa jah’a chun,
9 My master the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like to die for hunger in the place where he is: for there is no more bread in the city.
Kapu lengpa, hiche miho hin thilse tah khat aboldoh tauve. Amahon Jeremiah themgao chu twikul sunga alehluttauvin ahi. Twikul sunga khu, ama gilkel dangchah thoh'a thilo paiding ahitai. Ajeh chu khopi sung jenga jong changlhah beiding kon ahitai, agatin ahi.
10 Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die.
Hichun lengpan Ebed-melech jah a thu apen, Hilaiya um kamiho somthum kipuiyin lang, Jeremiah chu athi masangin twikul a kon’in gakaidoh loiyun, atitai.
11 So Ebed-melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence old cast clouts and old rotten rags, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.
Hijeh chun Ebed-melech injong, lengpa miho chu apuiyin, leng inpia thilkholna insunga chun alut un, pon luisa leh akipaisa pon phabep alauvin ahi. Hiche pon luisa ho chu twkul sunga, Jeremiah henga khaovin akhailhauvin ahi.
12 And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now these old cast clouts and rotten rags under thine armholes under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.
Hichun Ebed-melech in Jeremiah chu akouvin, ajah’a, hiche ponluisa hohi najahnoi tenia chun, khaojang toh kikah’a chun jep in ati. Jeremiah injong aseibang chun aboltai.
13 So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
Chuin amahon Jeremiah chu twikul sunga kon in akaidoh uvin, chule Jeremiah jong leng inngahpa insunga chu aumden kittai.
14 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that is in the house of YHWH: and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing; hide nothing from me.
Nikhat, Zedekiah lengpan Jeremiah kouvin mi asol in, Pakai houin lutna kot thumna’a chun akimupin ahi. Zedekiah lengpan Jeremiah jah’a, “Keiman thukhat dong ing kate, chule nangin jong dihtah a naseiding, na-imlou helding ahi,” ati.
15 Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, wilt thou not hearken unto me?
Ahin Jeremiah in lengpa jah’a, “Keiman adihtah kaseile neitha jeng ding ahi. Chule keiman nangma hilna neijong leng, nngman nangaideh louhel ding ahibouve,” atitai.
16 So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As YHWH liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life.
Chuphat in, lengpan Jeremiah kom a chun aguh in kihahsel na aboltai. Aman, “Pakai hingjing, eiho hinkho eisempeh pau ahi. Keiman nangma katha louhel ding chule nang thiding deiho khut a jong kapehdoh louhel ding nahi,” atitai.
17 Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith YHWH, the Elohim of hosts, the Elohim of Israel; If thou wilt assuredly go forth unto the king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shall live, and thine house:
Hichun Jeremiah in Zedekiah lengpa kom’a hitin aseiye. Hatchungnung Pakai, Israel Pathen chun aseiye. Nangma tah Babylon lengpa henga nakipehlut poupouleh, nang jong nainsung mite jong nakihinso diu ahi. Chule hiche khopi jong meiya kihalvam lou ding ahi, ati.
18 But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their hand.
Amavang nangma tah nakipehlut loule, iti jongle najamdoh louhel ding ahi. Chule hiche khopi jonghi Babylon mite khut a kipedoh ding, amahon meiya ahalvam diu ahi, atipehtai.
19 And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that are fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.
Ahivangin Zedekiah lengpan Jeremiah jah’a, “Babylon mite khut a kipehlut jeng ding chu kichat umtah ahi. Ajeh chu, amaho khutnuiya umsa Judah miho khut a eipedoh khalou, keiman ipi katoding nahet am?” ati.
20 But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver thee. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of YHWH, which I speak unto thee: so it shall be well unto thee, and thy soul shall live.
Chuin Jeremiah in adonbut in, Nangman Pakai thupeh hi najuile, amaho khut a nakipedoh louhel ding ahi. Hiche hi nangdinga aphapen hiding, nahinkho jong nakihoipeh ding ahi.
21 But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word that YHWH hath shewed me:
Amavang, kipehlut ding nadale, Pakaiyin keima henga aphondoh chu hiche hi ahi.
22 And, behold, all the women that are left in the king of Judah's house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon's princes, and those women shall say, Thy friends have set thee on, and have prevailed against thee: thy feet are sunk in the more, and they are turned away back.
Ven, Judah leng inpia, insung numei akidalha chengse hung kikai doh’a, Babylon mite sepaiho kipedoh diu ahi. Chutahle amahon ache pump um uva, “Lengpa naginchat tah nagol phapen hon nangma nalhem lhauvin…! Nachunga avaihom tauve; Tunvang nakeng jong bonlhoh lah’a aluttan, nagolten jong nadalha tauve, atidiu ahi,” kati.
23 So they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the Chaldeans: and thou shalt not escape out of their hand, but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and thou shalt cause this city to be burned with fire.
Keiman kaseibe kit in, “Naji nachateu jong abonchauva, Babylon mite khut a kikailutsoh kei dingu, chule nangma tah jong najamdoh louhel ding ahi. Babylon lengpan nangma tah soh’a nakai ding, chule hiche khopi hi meiya ahalvam ding ahi,” kati.
24 Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die.
Hichun Zedekiah in Jeremiah jah’a, “Hiche thuho kehenga naseihi, koima hetsah hih in, koiman nangma imacha nalolou ding ahi.
25 But if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king, hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king said unto thee:
vaipo hon ikihou hon hinhedoh khaleu, lengpan nakom’a ipi ase am, imhih in, tia nahin dohdiu. Nasei loule nathi ding ahi, tiajong aseidiu ahi.
26 Then thou shalt say unto them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there.
Ven, hitia chu ahinbol khah ule, nangman amaho jah’achun, “Keiman lengpa kom’a, Jonathan in-ah kihenna mun’a chun neinungsol hih beh in, tia kagatao ahi, tin seipeh in,” ati.
27 Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah, and asked him: and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived.
Hichun, sotlou hel in, vaipo ho abonchauvin Jeremiah kom’a ahung uvin, Jeremiah jah’a, lengpan ipi dinga nahinkou ham, tin adongtauve. Jeremiah injong lengpan athuhil bangchun aseitan ahileh amahon imacha alotheitapouve. Ajeh chu lengpa toh akihouna lhon chu koima ajapha umlou ahiuve.
28 So Jeremiah abode in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken: and he was there when Jerusalem was taken.
Hitichun Jerusalem khopi chu Babylon ten alah nikho geiyin, Jeremiah chu leng inpi ngahpa insunga chun aumdentai.
