< Jeremiah 42 >

1 And they come near—all the heads of the forces, and Johanan son of Kareah, and Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even to the greatest—
To naah kathoeg koek hoi kalen koek khoek to, Kariah capa Hohanan hoi Hosaiah capa Jezaniah, misatuh angraengnawk to caeh o boih moe,
2 and they say to Jeremiah the prophet, “Please let our supplication fall before you, and pray for us to your God YHWH for all this remnant; for we have been left a few out of many, as your eyes see us;
tahmaa Jeremiah khaeah, Kaicae tahmen hnikhaih hae tahngai pae ah loe, Hae ah anghmat kaminawk han Angraeng na Sithaw khaeah lawk na thui pae ah; na hnuk baktih toengah, canghni ah loe ka pop o parai, toe vaihi loe kami zetta ni ka oh o boeh:
3 and your God YHWH declares to us the way in which we walk, and the thing that we do.”
to tiah nahaeloe Angraeng na Sithaw mah, ka caeh o han ih loklam to na patuek ueloe, timaw ka sak o han, tito na hnusak tih, tiah a naa o.
4 And Jeremiah the prophet says to them, “I have heard: behold, I am praying to your God YHWH according to your words, and it has come to pass, the whole word that YHWH answers you, I declare to you—I do not withhold a word from you.”
Tahmaa Jeremiah mah nihcae khaeah, Lok kang thaih pae boeh; tahmenhaih nang hnik o haih lok baktih toengah, na Angraeng Sithaw khaeah lawk ka thuih han hmang; Angraeng mah ang pathim o ih loknawk boih, maeto doeh tahmaih ai ah, kang thuih o han, tiah a naa.
5 And they have said to Jeremiah, “YHWH is against us for a true and faithful witness, if—according to all the word with which your God YHWH sends you to us—we do not do so.
To naah nihcae mah Jeremiah khaeah, Na Angraeng Sithaw mah kaicae khaeah thuih han ang patoeh ih baktih toengah, hmuen boih ka sah o ai nahaeloe, Angraeng loe kaicae salakah oep kaom hnukung tangtang ah om tih.
6 Whether [it is] good or evil, to the voice of our God YHWH, to whom we are sending you, we listen; because it is good for us when we listen to the voice of our God YHWH.”
Kahoih hmuen maw, to tih ai boeh loe kahoih ai hmuen maw om langlacadoeh, anih khaeah kang patoeh o baktih toengah, kaicae Angraeng Sithaw ih lok to ka tahngaih o han; kaicae Angraeng Sithaw ih lok to ka tahngaih o naah ni, khosak ka hoih o tih, tiah a naa o.
7 And it comes to pass, at the end of ten days, that there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah,
Ni hato oh pacoengah, Angraeng ih lok to Jeremiah khaeah angzoh.
8 and he calls to Johanan son of Kareah, and to all the heads of the forces that [are] with him, and to all the people, from the least even to the greatest,
To pongah anih mah Kariah capa Johanan, anih khae kaom misatuh angraengnawk boih, kathoeng koek hoi kalen koek khoek to nawnto a kawk cuu,
9 and he says to them, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel, to whom you sent me, to cause your supplication to fall before Him:
nihcae khaeah, Tahmen hnikhaih lawkthuih pae hanah, nang patoeh o ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah, hae tiah thuih:
10 If you certainly dwell in this land, then I have built you up, and I do not throw down; and I have planted you, and I do not pluck up; for I have relented concerning the calamity that I have done to you.
hae prae ah na oh o nahaeloe, kam timsak mak ai, kang pathawk o let han; kang thling o han, kang phongh o mak ai; nangcae nuiah ka sak ih raihaih pongah ka dawnpakhuem boeh.
11 Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, whom you are afraid of; do not be afraid of him—a declaration of YHWH—for I [am] with you, to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
Vaihi na zit o ih Babylon siangpahrang to zii o hmah, anih to zii o hmah; anih ih ban thung hoiah kang pahlong o moe, kang loih o sak han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
12 And I give mercies to you, and he has pitied you, and caused you to return to your own ground.
Anih mah, Nangcae nuiah palungnathaih kam tuengsak han, nangmacae prae ah amlaem let hanah, anih mah nangcae nuiah palungnathaih to tawn tih, tiah a naa.
13 And if you are saying, We do not dwell in this land—not to listen to the voice of your God YHWH,
Toe nangcae mah, Hae prae ah ka om o mak ai, nangmacae Angraeng Sithaw ih lok doeh, ka tahngai o mak ai, tiah na thuih o,
14 saying, No; but we enter the land of Egypt, that we see no war, and do not hear the sound of a horn, and are not hungry for bread; and we dwell there—
misatukhaih kaom ai, mongkah tuen doeh angthaih ai, zok amthlamhaih kaom ai, Izip prae ah ka caeh o moe, to ah kho ka sak o han, tiah na thuih o;
15 And now, therefore, hear a word of YHWH, O remnant of Judah! Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: If you really set your faces to enter Egypt, and have gone to sojourn there,
to pongah aw kanghmat Judah kaminawk, Angraeng ih lok hae tahngai oh; Izip prae ah caeh han palung na tawnh o nahaeloe, to ah khosak hanah caeh oh:
16 then it has come to pass, the sword that you are afraid of, overtakes you there, in the land of Egypt; and the hunger, because of which you are sorrowful, cleaves after you there in Egypt, and there you die.
na zit o ih sumsen mah Izip prae ah na kae o tih, na zit o ih khokhahaih mah Izip prae khoek to na patom o ueloe, to ah na dueh o tih.
17 Thus are all the men who have set their faces to enter Egypt to sojourn there; they die—by sword, by hunger, and by pestilence, and there is not a remnant and an escaped one to them, because of the calamity that I am bringing in on them;
Izip prae ah caeh moe, to ah khosak hanah mikhmai angqoi kaminawk loe sumsen, khokhahaih, kasae nathaih hoiah dueh o boih tih; mi kawbaktih doeh nangcae nuiah ka phaksak han ih amrohaih hoiah loih o mak ai, anghmat doeh anghmat o mak ai, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah thuih.
18 for thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: As My anger and My fury have been poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so My fury is poured out on you in your entering Egypt, and you have been for an execration, and for an astonishment, and for a reviling, and for a reproach, and you do not see this place anymore.
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah, Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk nuiah, palungphuihaih, kanung parai palungphuihaih to ka kraih thuih baktih toengah, Izip prae na kun o naah, nangcae nuiah ka kraih han; nangcae loe angzoehhaih, dawnraihaih, tangoenghaih hoi kasaethuih ih kami ah na om o tih; hae ahmuen hae na hnu o let mak ai boeh, tiah thuih.
19 YHWH has spoken against you, O remnant of Judah, do not enter Egypt: certainly know that I have testified against you today;
Aw anghmat Judah kaminawk, nangcae kawng pongah Angraeng mah, Izip prae ah caeh o hmah; vaihni ah acoehaih lok kang thuih o boeh, tito panoek oh, tiah thuih.
20 for you have showed yourselves perverse in your souls, for you sent me to your God YHWH, saying, Pray for us to our God YHWH, and according to all that our God YHWH says, so declare to us, and we have done [it];
Kaicae han, aicae Angraeng Sithaw khaeah lawkthui pae ah, aicae Angraeng Sithaw mah thuih ih loknawk to kaicae khae na thui boih ah, anih ih lok to ka tahngaih pae o han, tiah nangmacae Angraeng Sithaw khaeah nang patoeh o, toe poekhaih palungthin nam khraeng o ving boeh.
21 and I declare to you today, and you have not listened to the voice of your God YHWH, and to anything with which He has sent me to you.
Vaihni ah lok kang thuih o boeh, kai ang patoeh moe, ang thuih o ih na Angraeng Sithaw ih loknawk doeh na tahngai o ai.
22 And now, certainly know that by sword, by famine, and by pestilence you die, in the place that you have desired to go to sojourn there.”
To pongah vaihi na caeh o baktih toengah, khosak han na koeh o haih ahmuen ah sumsen, khokhahaih, kasae nathaih hoiah na dueh o tangtang tih boeh, tiah panoek oh, tiah a naa.
