Jeremiah 29
1 Now these, are the, words of the letter which Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem, —unto the residue of the elders of the captivity, and unto the priests and unto the prophets and unto all the people, whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon;
Profet Jeremiah ni Jerusalem vah san lah kaawm rae kacuenaw, vaihma hoi profet, Nebukhadnezar ni Jerusalem hoi Babilon lah a ceikhai e naw thung dawk hoi kaawm rae naw koe ca a patawn e teh,
2 after that Jeconiah the king and the queen-mother and the eunuchs the princes of Judah and Jerusalem and the craftsmen and the smiths, had gone forth from Jerusalem; —
siangpahrang Jekoniah hoi siangpahrangnu, tuenlanaw, Judah tami, Jerusalem kaukkung, kutsakkathoumnaw hoi sumdeinaw ni Jerusalem a tâco takhai awh hnukkhu.
3 by the hand of Elasah son of Shaphan and Gemariah son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, saying: —
Saphan capa Eleasah hoi Hilkiah capa Gemariah tinaw e kut dawk a patawn. Hotnaw teh Judah siangpahrang Hezekiah ni Babilon ram lah Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar koe a patoun e naw doeh.
4 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Unto all the captivity whom I have suffered to be carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon:
Ransahu BAWIPA, Isarel Cathut ni san lah ceikhai e naw pueng, Jerusalem hoi Babilon lah san lah a ceisak e naw pueng koe hettelah a dei.
5 Build ye houses and dwell in them, —And plant ye gardens and eat the fruit thereof;
Im sak awh nateh haw vah khosak awh. Takha sak awh nateh a pawnaw cat awh.
6 Take ye wives and beget sons and daughters, And take wives, for your sons, and, your daughters, give ye to husbands, That they may bear sons and daughters, —And so become ye many there and do not become few;
Yu lat awh nateh canunaw capanaw tawn awh. Hottelah canu capa tawn thai nahanlah na capanaw hanlah yu paluen pouh awh, haw vah takangnae awm laipalah pungdaw awh.
7 And seek the welfare of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray for her unto Yahweh, —For in her welfare, shall ye have welfare.
San lah na osaknae khopui hanelah roumnae tawng awh nateh BAWIPA koe het awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh roumnae koe roumnae na hmu awh han.
8 For Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, Let not your prophets that are in your midst nor your diviners beguile you, —Neither hearken ye unto your dreams which ye are dreaming;
Ransahu BAWIPA, Isarel Cathut ni hettelah a dei, nangmouh thung e profetnaw hoi camkathoumnaw ni na dumyen hanh naseh. mangkamangnaw yuem pouh hanh awh.
9 For falsely, are they prophesying unto you in my name, —I have not sent them, Declareth Yahweh.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kaie min hno lahoi laithoe a dei awh, kai ni ka patounnaw nahoeh, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
10 For, thus, saith Yahweh, —That as soon as there are fulfilled to Babylon seventy years, I will visit you, —and establish for you my good word, by causing you to return unto this place.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, Babilon teh kum 70 touh akuep toteh ka hloe vaiteh, nangmouh koevah kahawi e ka lawk kakuep sak vaiteh hete hmuen koe boutbout na bankhai awh han.
11 For, I, know the plans which I am planning for you Declareth Yahweh, —Plans of welfare and not of calamity, To give you a future and a hope.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmae kong dawk ka lungpouk teh ka panue. Nangmouh ngaihawinae apout toteh ngaihawinae poe hane hawihoehnae laipalah hawinae koe lah doeh ka pouk, teh lah BAWIPA ni a dei.
12 So shall ye call upon me, —And go and pray unto me, —And I will hearken unto you;
Hattoteh nangmouh ni kai na tawng awh han, na tho awh vaiteh kai koe na ratoum awh vaiteh kai ni na thai pouh han.
13 So shall ye seek me and find, For ye will enquire after me with all your heart;
Nangmouh ni kai na tawng awh vaiteh na lungthin buemlah hoi na tawng awh toteh na hmu awh han.
14 And I will be found of you, Declareth Yahweh, And will turn back your captivity, And will gather you out of all the nations and out of all the places whither I have driven you, Declareth Yahweh, And will bring you back into the place whence I had caused you to be carried away captive:
Na hmu awh e lah ka o han, telah BAWIPA ni dei. San lah na o awh hmuen koehoi na bankhai awh han, miphun tangkuem dawk na kâkaheisaknae hmuen koehoi na pâkhueng awh han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei. San lah na mansaknae hmuen koe roeroe vah na hrawi han.
15 Because ye have said, —Yahweh hath raised us up prophets in Babylon.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni Babilon ram dawk hai profet na ta pouh telah na ti awh.
16 For, thus, saith Yahweh Against the king who is sitting on the throne of David, and Against all the people who are remaining in this city, —your brethren who have not gone forth with you into captivity:
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni Devit bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung e siangpahrang e kong hoi hete khopui dawk kho ka sak e taminaw kong hoi san lah hrawi hoeh e na hmaunawnghanaw e kong dawk hettelah a dei.
17 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Behold me! sending upon them sword famine, and pestilence, —So will I make them like the horrid figs, that cannot be eaten for badness;
Ransabawi, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Khenhaw! ahnimae lathueng vah tahloi, takang hoi lacik ka pha sak vaiteh, thaibunglung paw ca han kahawihoehe patetlah ka coungsak han.
18 Therefore will I pursue them with sword with famine and with pestilence, —And will make them a terror to all the kingdoms of the earth A curse and an astonishment and a hissing and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them:
Hahoi tahloi, takang lacik hoi ka pâlei awh han. Ahnimouh ru sak hanelah tailai uknaeram pueng koe ka poe han, ahnimouh koe ka patawnnae miphunnaw e rahak vah thoebo e tami, kângairu e, pacekpahlek e, hoi dudam e taminaw lah ka o sak han.
19 Because they hearkened not unto my words Declareth Yahweh, —which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, betimes, sending them yet hearkened they not Declareth Yahweh.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh koe ka patoun e ka san profetnaw hno lahoi ka lawk banglahai ngâi awh hoeh, telah BAWIPA ni ati. Amom ka thaw teh ka pâtam ei na thai ngai kalawn awh hoeh, telah BAWIPA ni ati.
20 Ye, therefore, hear ye the word of Yahweh, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon:
Hatdawkvah, nangmouh Jerusalem hoi Babilon lah ka patoun teh san lah kaawmnaw pueng, BAWIPA e lawk thai awh haw.
21 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel Concerning Ahab son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying to you in my name, a falsehood, Behold me! delivering them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he will smite them before your eyes:
Ransahu BAWIPA, Isarel Cathut ni Kolaiah capa Ahab hoi Maaseiah capa Zedekiah e min lahoi nangmouh koe laithoe ka dei e kong dawk hettelah a dei. Khenhaw! Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar e kut dawk ka poe vaiteh nangmae mithmu roeroe vah a man awh han.
22 So shall there be taken up—from them—a curse, by all of the captivity of Judah who are in Babylon saying, —Yahweh make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, Whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire!
Ahnimae kong dawk, Babilon ram e Judah tami san lah kaawmnaw pueng ni, Babilon siangpahrang ni hmai dawk pâeng e Zedekiah hoi Ahab patetlah BAWIPA ni nangmae lathueng vah sak naseh, tie thoebonae lawk dawk, a pâkuem awh han.
23 Because they have committed vileness in Israel And have committed adultery with the wives of their neighbours, And have spoken as a word in my name a falsehood, which I commanded them not, —And, I, am one who knoweth—and a witness Declareth Yahweh.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarel ram dawk hnokathout a sak awh teh, a imri e yu koe a uicuk awh teh kaie min hno laihoi kâ ka poe hoeh e laithoe lawknaw a dei awh. Kai kama doeh kapanuekkung hoi kapanuekkhaikung lah ka o, telah BAWIPA ni ati.
24 Also unto Shemaiah the Nehelamite, shalt thou speak, saying:
Nehelam tami Shemaiah kong dawk hai nang ni hettelah na dei han.
25 Thus, speaketh Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, saying, —Because, thou, hast sent in, thine own name, letters, unto all the people who are in Jerusalem, and unto Zephaniah son, of Maaseiah the priest, and unto all the priests saying:
Isarel Cathut, ransahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, Jerusalem e taminaw pueng koe hai thoseh, nang namae min roeroe lahoi ca na patawn, tet pouh.
26 Yahweh, hath made thee priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should be deputies in the house of Yahweh, to any man who is raving and prophesying, so shalt thou put him into the stocks and into the pillory:
Tamipathunaw hoi profet lah kakâsaknaw pueng thongim thung na paung teh hlawngbuet sak hanelah BAWIPA ni vaihma Jehoiada e yueng lah vaihma lah na o sak teh, BAWIPA e im khenyawnkung lah na o.
27 Now, therefore, why, hast thou not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who is prophesying unto you?
Hatdawkvah, bangkongmaw Anathoth tami Jeremiah nang koevah profet ka kâtet e na yue hoeh.
28 For, on this account, hath he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, —’Tis, long! Build ye houses and dwell in them, And plant gardens and eat the fruit thereof.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Babilon vah kai koevah ca na patawn teh santoungnae teh asaw han rah, im sak awh, haw vah khosak awh, takhanaw sak awh nateh, a pawnaw cat awh telah ati.
29 And Zephaniah the priest hath read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet,
Hahoi vaihma Zephaniah ni hote ca teh profet Jeremiah thainae koe a touk.
30 Therefore hath the word of Yahweh come unto Jeremiah, saying:
Hahoi, Jeremiah koe BAWIPA e lawk a pha.
31 Send thou unto all them of the captivity, saying, Thus, saith Yahweh, Concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite, —Because Shemaiah, hath prophesied to you, when, I, had not sent him, And hath caused you to trust in falsehood,
Sankatoungnaw pueng koe Nehelam tami Shemaiah kong dawk BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, kai ni ka patoun hoeh e Shemaiah ni nang koe lawk a dei telah laithoe lawknaw na yuem sak awh.
32 Therefore Thus, saith Yahweh, —Behold me! bringing punishment upon Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and upon his seed, He shall have no man to dwell in the midst of this people, Nor shall he see the good that I am about to do for my people, Declareth Yahweh; Because revolt, hath he spoken against Yahweh.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Khenhaw! Nehelam tami Shemaiah hoi a imthungnaw ka rek han. Hete hmuen koe khokasaknaw rahak vah tami buet touh hai tawn mahoeh. Ka taminaw hanlah ka sak hane hnokahawi hah hmawt van mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh BAWIPA taranlahoi taranthawnae a cangkhai.
