Jeremiah 38
1 And Shephatiah son of Mattan, and Gedaliah son of Pashhur, and Jucal son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malchiah, hear the words that Jeremiah is speaking to 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 said YHWH: He who is remaining in this city dies, by sword, by famine, and by pestilence, and he who is going forth to the Chaldeans lives, and his soul has been to him for a prey, and he lives.
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 said YHWH: This city is certainly given into the hand of the force of the king of Babylon, and he has captured 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 And the heads say to the king, “Now let this man be put to death, because that he is making feeble the hands of the men of war who are left in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking to them according to these words, for this man is not seeking for the peace of this people, but for its calamity.”
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 And King Zedekiah says, “Behold, he [is] in your hand: for the king is not able [to do] anything 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 And they take Jeremiah, and cast him into the pit of Malchiah son of the king, that [is] in the court of the prison, and they send Jeremiah down with cords; and there is no water in the pit, but mire, and Jeremiah sinks 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 And Ebed-Melech the Cushite, a eunuch who [is] in the king’s house, hears that they have put Jeremiah into the pit; and the king is sitting at 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 and Ebed-Melech goes forth from the king’s house, and speaks to the king, saying,
Hijeh chun, Ebed-melech jong leng inpia kon in alhaijel in lengpa jah’a chun,
9 “My lord, O king, these men have done evil [in] all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the pit, and he dies in his place because of the famine, 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 And the king commands Ebed-Melech the Cushite, saying, “Take with you thirty men from here, and you have brought up Jeremiah the prophet from the pit, before he dies.”
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 And Ebed-Melech takes the men with him, and enters the house of the king, to the place of the treasury, and takes there worn-out shreds of cloth, and worn-out rags, and sends them by cords into the pit 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 Cushite says to Jeremiah, “Now put the worn-out pieces of cloth and rags under your arms, at the place of the cords,” and Jeremiah does 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 and they draw Jeremiah out with cords, and bring him up out of the pit, and Jeremiah dwells 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 And King Zedekiah sends, and takes Jeremiah the prophet to him, to the third entrance that [is] in the house of YHWH, and the king says to Jeremiah, “I am asking you something, do not hide anything 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 And Jeremiah says to Zedekiah, “When I declare [it] to you, do you not surely put me to death? And when I counsel you, you do not listen to 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 And King Zedekiah swears to Jeremiah in secret, saying, “YHWH lives, He who made this soul for us, I do not put you to death, nor give you into the hand of these men who are seeking your soul.”
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 And Jeremiah says to Zedekiah, “Thus said YHWH, God of Hosts, God of Israel: If you certainly go forth to the heads of the king of Babylon, then your soul has lived, and this city is not burned with fire, indeed, you have lived, you and your 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 And if you do not go forth to the heads of the king of Babylon, then this city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they have burned it with fire, and you do not escape from 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 King Zedekiah says to Jeremiah, “I am fearing the Jews who have fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they give me into their hand, and they have insulted 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 And Jeremiah says, “They do not give you up; please listen to the voice of YHWH, to that which I am speaking to you, and it is well for you, and your soul lives.
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 And if you are refusing to go forth, this [is] the thing that YHWH has shown me:
Amavang, kipehlut ding nadale, Pakaiyin keima henga aphondoh chu hiche hi ahi.
22 That, behold, all the women who have been left in the house of the king of Judah are brought forth to the heads of the king of Babylon, and behold, they are saying: Persuaded you, and prevailed against you, Have your allies, Your feet have sunk into mire, They have been turned backward.
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 And all your wives and your sons are brought forth to the Chaldeans, and you do not escape from their hand, for you are caught by the hand of the king of Babylon, and this city is 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 And Zedekiah says to Jeremiah, “Let no man know of these words, and you do not die;
Hichun Zedekiah in Jeremiah jah’a, “Hiche thuho kehenga naseihi, koima hetsah hih in, koiman nangma imacha nalolou ding ahi.
25 and when the heads hear that I have spoken with you, and they have come to you, and have said to you, Now declare to us what you spoke to the king, do not hide [it] from us, and we do not put you to death, and what the king spoke to you,
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 you have said to them, I am causing my supplication to fall before the king, not to cause me to return to the house of Jonathan, 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 And all the heads come to Jeremiah, and ask him, and he declares to them according to all these words that the king commanded, and they keep silent from him, for the matter was not heard;
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 and Jeremiah dwells in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem has been captured, and he was [there] when Jerusalem was captured.
Hitichun Jerusalem khopi chu Babylon ten alah nikho geiyin, Jeremiah chu leng inpi ngahpa insunga chun aumdentai.
