Jeremiah 21
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, in King Zedekiah’s sending to him Pashhur son of Malchiah and Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,
BOEIPA taeng lamkah ol te Jeremiah taengla ha pawk. Te vaengah manghai Zedekiah loh anih taengla Malkhiah capa Pashur neh khosoih Maaseiah capa Zephaniah te a tueih tih,
2 “Please inquire of YHWH for us, for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has fought against us; perhaps YHWH deals with us according to all His wonders, and causes him to go up from off us.”
“Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh Mamih m'vathoh thil coeng dongah BOEIPA te mamih ham dawt pawn saeh. Amah khobaerhambae cungkuem he BOEIPA loh mamih ham a saii khaming, tedae mamih taeng lamloh nong mai saeh,” a ti nah.
3 And Jeremiah says to them, “Thus you say to Zedekiah,
Tedae amih te Jeremiah loh, “He he Zedekiah taengah thui pah,” a ti nah.
4 Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Behold, I am turning around the weapons of battle That [are] in your hand, With which you fight the king of Babylon, And the Chaldeans, who are laying siege against you, At the outside of the wall, And I have gathered them into the midst of this city,
Israel Pathen BOEIPA he ni a thui. Na kut dongkah caemtloek hnopai te nangmih aka vathoh thil Babylon manghai taeng neh vongvoel lamloh vongtung duela nangmih aka dum Khalden taengla ka mael ne. Te dongah amih te he khopuei laklung ah ka kuk ni.
5 And I have fought against you, With an outstretched hand, and with a strong arm, And in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath,
Nangmih taengah kut ka thueng vetih, ka tlungluen ban neh, thintoek neh, kosi neh, thinhul bat la kan vathoh thil ni.
6 And I have struck the inhabitants of this city, Both man and beast, They die by a great pestilence.
He khopuei kah khosa rhoek neh hlang khaw rhamsa khaw ka ngawn vetih duektahaw neh mat duek uh ni.
7 And after this,” A declaration of YHWH, “I give Zedekiah king of Judah, And his servants, and the people, And those left in this city, From the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, Into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of their enemies, And into the hand of those seeking their life, And he has struck them by the mouth of the sword, He has no pity on them, Nor does he spare, nor does he have mercy.”
Te phoeikah te khaw BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Judah manghai Zedekiah neh a sal rhoek, pilnam neh he khopuei khuiah duektahaw lamloh, cunghang lamloh, khokha lamloh aka sueng te Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar kut dongah, a thunkha kut dongah, a hinglu aka toem kut dongah ka paek ni. Te vaengah amih te cunghang ha neh a ngawn vetih amih te rhen mahpawh, hnaih mahpawh, haidam mahpawh.
8 “And you say to this people, Thus said YHWH: Behold, I am setting before you the way of life, And the way of death!
Tedae he pilnam taengah BOEIPA loh a thui he thui pah. Kai loh nangmih mikhmuh ah hingnah longpuei neh dueknah longpuei kang khueh coeng he.
9 Whoever is abiding in this city—dies, By sword, and by famine, and by pestilence, And whoever is going forth, And has fallen to the Chaldeans, Who are laying siege against you—lives, And his life has been for a spoil to him.
He khopuei khuikah khosa rhoek tah cunghang neh, khokha neh, duektahaw neh duek ni. Tedae aka coe tih nangmih aka dum Khalden taengah aka kuep tah hing rhoe hing vetih a hinglu te amah taengah kutbuem bangla a khueh ni.
10 For I have set My face against this city for calamity, And not for good,” A declaration of YHWH. “It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon, And he has burned it with fire.
A then ham pawt tih a thae ham ni he khopuei soah ka maelhmai ka khueh he BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Babylon manghai kut dongah a tloeng vetih hmai neh a hoeh ni.
11 And as for the house of the king of Judah,” Hear a word of YHWH;
Judah manghai imkhui te khaw BOEIPA ol hnatun uh.
12 O house of David, thus said YHWH: “Decide judgment in the morning, And deliver the plundered from the hand of the oppressor, Lest My fury go forth as fire, And has burned, and none is quenching, Because of the evil of your doings.
David imkhui aw, BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Mincang ah a tiktamnah neh laitloek. Hnaemtaek kut loh a reth te huul laeh. Ka kosi he hmai bangla puek vetih n'hlawp ve. Na khoboe kah khoboe thaenah dongah thi pawt ve.
13 Behold, I [am] against you,” A declaration of YHWH, “O inhabitant of the valley, rock of the plain, Who are saying, Who comes down against us? And who comes into our habitations?
He tah BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni. 'Unim mamih ka et vetih unim mamih kah khodun la aka pawk eh? ' aka ti rhoek, tlangkol lungpang kol kah khosa nangmih te kam pai thil coeng he.
14 And I have laid a charge against you, According to the fruit of your doings,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I have kindled a fire in its forest, And it has consumed all its outskirts!”
He tah BOEIPA olphong ni. Na khoboe thaihtae bangla nangmih te kan cawh ni. A duup ah hmai ka hlup vetih a kaepvai boeih te boeih a hlawp ni.
