< Jeremiah 37 >

1 Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king, instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
Josiah chapa Zedekiah chu Jehoiakim chapa Coniah khel in, Judahte lengin apangtai. Amahiabbylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar in apansah ahi.
2 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, listened to the words of the LORD, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.
Ahinlah, Zedekiah lengpa ahin, ama sohte ahiuvin chule gamsung mite ahiuvin, Pakaiyin Jeremiah mangcha-a thu ahinsei ho chu, ngai nahsah in aneipouve.
3 Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the cohen, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, "Pray now to the LORD our God for us."
Ahijeng vang chun, Zedekiah lengpan, Shelemiah chapa Jehucal leh Maaseiah chapa Zephaniah thempupa chu Jeremiah henga asol in, “Keiho din, Pakai i-Pathen’u henga, neitaopih un,” agatisah in ahi.
4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people; for they had not put him into prison.
Hichepet a chun, Jeremiah jong songkul'a kihen loulai ahin, mipi lah’a anop nop in achele avahle nalaiye.
5 Pharaoh's army had come forth out of Egypt; and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them, they broke up from Jerusalem.
Hichun, Pharaoh sepaite Egypt gam’a pat in, Judah gam lhanglam’a ahungdoh uve, tithu, Babylon sepaite, Jerusalem a kon’in akinung tol kittauve.
6 Then came the word of the LORD to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Chujouvin, Pakai thusei Jeremiah heng ahunglhung in.
7 "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'You shall tell the king of Judah, who sent you to me to inquire of me: "Look, Pharaoh's army, which has come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.
Pakai Israel Pathen chun hitin aseiye: Judah lengpa chun, ipi hungsoh ding ham, tithu donga kahenga nahinsol ahi. Ama chu seipeh un, napanpi dinga hungkondoh Pharaoh sepaite chu, amaho chamtah a Egypt gam’a kilekit diu ahitai.
8 The Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city; and they shall take it, and burn it with fire."
Chuteng Babylon sepaite hung kinungle kitdiu, chule hiche khopihi alah uva meiya agovam diu ahi.
9 Thus says the LORD, "Do not deceive yourselves, saying, 'The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us'; for they shall not depart.
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye; Nangho leh nangho kilhem lhauvin lang, Babylon mite sepia hochun, eihoa kon’a kitolmang kei ahitauve, tidauvin. Amaho akitolmang pouve.
10 For though you had struck the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yes would they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire."'"
Ijeh inem itileh, nanghon Babylon sepaite chu apumpiuva najo heldiu hijongle, chule akisukha maha poho bou hing dohdiu hijongle, amaho chu hung kipan untin, hiche khopihi meiya agovam diu ahi, tin seipih in, ati.
11 It happened that, when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's army,
Pharaoh sepaite ahungkon uve, ti ajah phat un, Babylon mite sepaiho chun Jerusalem adalhauvin, akitoldoh tauve.
12 then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, in the midst of the people.
Chuin Jeremiah injong Jerusalem adalhan, asopite toh gou kihom’a ama chan kilah dingin, Benjamin gamsung ajontai.
13 When he was in the Benjamin Gate, a captain of the guard was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he laid hold on Jeremiah the prophet, saying, "You are falling away to the Chaldeans."
Ahinla, aman Benjaminkelkot phung ajotpa-a achepet in, kelkot ngahpan ama chu aman in; ajah’a, nanghi Babylon mite henga jamlut go nahim, atin ahentai. Hichea kotngah mimanpa chu Hananiah tupa Shelemiah chapa Irijah ahi.
14 Then Jeremiah said, "It is false; I am not falling away to the Chaldeans." But he did not listen to him; so Irijah laid hold on Jeremiah, and brought him to the officials.
Ahinla Jeremiah in, “Neingohna chu jouthu ahibouve. Keiman hitobang chu kagel hih hel e,” ati. Ahivangin Irijah chun Jeremiah thusei chu angai pihpon, vaipo ho angsunga akailuttai.
15 And the officials were angry with Jeremiah, and struck him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that the prison.
Amahon Jeremiah chu havoh in avouvin, chujouvin lekhasunpa Jonathan insunga chun ahentauve. Jonathan in chu songkul'a asemdoh u ahitai.
16 When Jeremiah had come into the dungeon house, and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;
Chuin Jeremiah chu songkul'a akhum un, hichea chun nikho sotpi aumdentan ahitai.
17 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and fetched him: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, "Is there any word from the LORD?" Jeremiah said, "There is." He said also, "You shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon."
Chujouvin Zedekiah lengpan, Jeremiah akouvin guhthim in mi asol in, agakou sah in, leng inpia akimupi in ahi. Hichun lengpan ajah’a, “Pakaiya kon’a thu hunglhung um am?” ati. Jeremiah in adonbut in, “Henge aum e. Nangma hi Babylon lengpa khut a kipedoh nahitai,” ati.
18 Moreover Jeremiah said to king Zedekiah, "Wherein have I sinned against you, or against your servants, or against this people, that you have put me in prison?
Chuin Jeremiah in lengpa jah’a, “Keiman ipi adihlou kabol am? Ipi nang douna leh nalhachate douna chule mipite douna kabolkhah um am? Ibol a songkul’a neihen jeng ham?
19 Where now are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?
Nahenga, Babylon lengpa sepaiten nangma douna leh hiche gamsung douna gal bl in, hungkon ponte, tia gaothu sei nathemgao ho chu, tua hoiya umgam’u hitam?
20 Now please hear, my lord the king: please let my petition be presented before you, that you not cause me to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there."
Vo kapu lengpa, ngaitem in nakom’a katao ahi. Hiche songkul'a kisem Jonathan in-a khun, neisol kit hih beh in. Ajeh chu kache kitleh kathiden teitei ding, ati.
21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard; and they gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city was spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
Hijeh chun, Zedekiah lengpan thu apen, Jeremiah chu songkul'a solkit talouvin, leng inpi ngahpa insunga aumsah tauve. Chule lengpa thupeh bangin, khopi sunga changlhah abei kahsen, niseh in changlhah in avah’un, leng inpi in-ngahpa insunga chun ama jong aumdentai.
