Jeremiah 40
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, after Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, has sent him from Ramah, in his taking him—and he a prisoner in chains—in the midst of all the expulsion of Jerusalem and of Judah, who are removed to Babylon.
Judah hoi Jerusalem hoi san lah ceikhai e naw pueng Babilon lah a ceikhai e naw koevah, Jeremiah hah rui hoi a pâkhi laihoi a ceikhai awh lahun nah, ramvengnaw kahrawikung Nebuzaradan ni Ramah hoi a tâco sak hnukkhu, BAWIPA koehoi Jeremiah koe ka phat e lawk teh,
2 And the chief of the executioners takes Jeremiah and says to him, “Your God YHWH has spoken this calamity concerning this place,
ramvengnaw kahrawikung ni Jeremiah hah a ceikhai teh ahni koevah, BAWIPA na Cathut ni hete hmuen koe ka tho hane kahawihoehe hah a pâpho toe.
3 and YHWH brings [it] in, and does as He spoke, because you have sinned against YHWH, and have not listened to His voice, even this thing has been to you.
Hahoi, BAWIPA ni a dei e patetlah a kuep sak. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA taranlahoi yonnae na sak awh teh, a lawk hah na tarawi awh hoeh, hatdawkvah hete hnonaw nangmae lathueng vah a pha.
4 And now, behold, I have loosed you today from the chains that [are] on your hand; if [it is] good in your eyes to come with me [to] Babylon, come, and I keep my eye on you: and if [it is] evil in your eyes to come with me to Babylon, refrain; see, all the land [is] before you, to where [it is] good, and to where [it is] right in your eyes to go—go.”
Atu khenhaw! na kut dawk e sumrui dawk hoi sahnin na hlout sak. Babilon lah kai koe na tho hane na ngai pawiteh tho, na khetyawt han. Hatei Babilon lah kai koe tho hanlah na ngai hoehpawiteh, hivah awm yawkaw. Khenhaw! ramnaw pueng na hmalah ao, na lungkuep e hoi ahawi na tie hmuen koe cet yawkaw telah ati.
5 And while he does not reply—“Or turn back to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has appointed over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him in the midst of the people, or wherever it is right in your eyes to go—go.” And the chief of the executioners gives a ration and gift to him, and sends him away,
Jeremiah teh a ban hoehnahlan vah, Nebuzaradan ni, Judah khopuinaw lathueng vah ukkung hane hah Babilon siangpahrang ni a hruek e Shaphan capa, Ahikam capa Gedaliah koe vah ban nateh, tamimaya koevah awmh, hoehpawiteh na ngainae koe pueng vah cet yawkaw telah ati.
6 and Jeremiah comes to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, to Mizpah, and dwells with him in the midst of the people who are left in the land.
Hat toteh, ramvengnaw kahrawikung ni canei hane hoi poehnonaw a poe teh a ceisak. Jeremiah teh Ahikam capa Gedaliah koe Mizpah kho dawk a cei teh hote ram dawk kaawm e taminaw koe ao.
7 And all the heads of the forces that [are] in the field hear, they and their men, that the king of Babylon has appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam over the land, and that he has charged him [with] men, and women, and infants, and of the poor of the land, of those who have not been removed to Babylon;
Hahoi ransahu kaukkungnaw kahrawngum kaawm e amamouh hoi a uk e taminaw ni Babilon siangpahrang ni Ahikam capa Gedaliah hah teh ram dawk e tami karoedengnaw Babilon vah ceikhai e naw hah a kut dawk a ta tie a thai awh toteh,
8 and they come to Gedaliah at Mizpah, even Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan [the] sons of Kareah, and Seraiah son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah son of the Maachathite, they and their men.
Mizpah kho Gedaliah koe a tho awh, Nethaniah capa Ishmael, Kareah capa Johanan hoi Jonathan hoi Tanhumeth capa Seraiah hoi Netophath tami Ephai capa naw hoi Maakath tami e capa Jezaniah tinaw hoi a sannaw hoi,
9 And Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, swears to them and to their men, saying, “Do not be afraid of serving the Chaldeans, abide in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it is well for you;
hahoi, Saphan capa Ahikam capa, Gedaliah ni amamouh hoi a kut rahim e taminaw koe, Khaldean taminaw thaw tawk e hah taket hanh awh, ram thung vah karoumcalah awm awh, Babilon siangpahrang e thaw tawk awh, nangmouh hanlah ahawi han.
10 and I, behold, I am dwelling in Mizpah to stand before the Chaldeans who have come to us, and you, gather wine, and summer fruit, and oil, and put [them] in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that you have taken.”
Kai na pâlei teh, Mizpah kho dawk ka o han. Khaldean tami ka hmalah ka tho hane naw koevah, nangmouh yueng lah ka kangdue han, nangmouh teh misur tui hoi kompawi paw, satuinaw hah lat awh nateh, a um dawk pâtung awh nateh na la awh e kho dawk khosak awh, telah lawkkamnae a sak.
11 And also all the Jews who [are] in Moab, and among the sons of Ammon, and in Edom, and who [are] in all the lands, have heard that the king of Babylon has given a remnant to Judah, and that he has appointed over them Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan,
Hottelah, Judah taminaw Moab ram dawk kho ka sak e, Ammon taminaw koe kho ka sak e hoi Edom ram dawk kho ka sak e hoi ramlouk lah kaawmnaw ni Babilon siangpahrang ni Judah tami tangawn a ceitakhai teh, ahnimouh lathueng vah Shaphan capa, Ahikam capa Gedaliah hah a tâ tie a thai awh toteh,
12 and all the Jews from all the places to where they have been driven, return and enter the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and they gather wine and summer fruit—to multiply abundantly.
Judah taminaw pâleinae hmuen koehoi a ban awh teh, Judah ram e Mizpah kho Gedaliah koevah, a tho awh teh misur hoi kompawi pawnaw moi a thokhai awh.
13 And Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces that [are] in the field, have come to Gedaliah at Mizpah,
Hothloilah, Koreah capa Johanan hoi ransahu kahrawikung e ram rahim kaawmnaw pueng Mizpah kho e Gedaliah koe a tho awh teh,
14 and they say to him, “Do you really know that Ba‘alis king of the sons of Ammon has sent Ishmael son of Nethaniah to strike your soul?” And Gedaliah son of Ahikam has not given credence to them.
Ammon taminaw siangpahrang Baalis ni na thei hanlah Nethaniah capa, Ishmael a patoun tie na panue maw telah ati awh. Hatei, Ahikam capa Gedaliah ni yuem hoeh.
15 And Johanan son of Kareah has spoken to Gedaliah in secret, in Mizpah, saying, “Please let me go, and I strike Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and no one knows; why does he strike your soul? And all Judah who are gathered to you have been scattered, and the remnant of Judah has perished.”
Hahoi, Koreah capa Johanan ni Mizpah kho e Gedaliah koevah, kai na cetsak haw, Nethaniah capa Ishmael teh ka thet vai, apinihai panuek mahoeh. Bangkongmaw na thei awh vaiteh, nang koe kaawm e Judah taminaw kâkapek vaiteh due awh han telah arulahoi a dei.
16 And Gedaliah son of Ahikam says to Johanan son of Kareah, “You do not do this thing, for you are speaking falsehood concerning Ishmael.”
Hatei, Ahikam capa Gedaliah ni Koreah capa Johanan koevah, hete hno heh na sak hane nahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Ishmael e kong dawk na dei e atang nahoeh, telah ati.
