Jeremiah 38
1 And, when Shephatiah son of Mattan and Gedaliah son of Pashhur and Jucal son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malchiah, heard the words which Jeremiah was speaking unto all the people saying:
Hahoi, Mattan capa Shephatiah, Pashhur capa Gedaliah, Shelemiah capa Jukal hoi Malkhijah capa Pashur tinaw ni, tami moikapap koe Jeremiah ni,
2 Thus saith Yahweh, He that remaineth in this city shall die, by sword by famine, or by pestilence, —whereas, he that goeth forth unto the Chaldeans, shall live, so shall he have his life for a spoil, and shall live.
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, hete khopui dawk kaawm rae hah tahloi, takang hoi lacik hoi a due awh han. Hatei, Khaldean taminaw koe ka kâhmoun e tami teh a hring han. A hringnae teh ahnimouh koe poe e phu lah ao vaih a hring han.
3 Thus, saith Yahweh, —This city shall surely be given, into the hand of the force of the king of Babylon, and he shall capture it.
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, hete khopui heh Babilon siangpahrang ransanaw koe poe e lah ao vaiteh, a la awh han telah a dei awh e hah a thai awh.
4 Then said the princes unto the king, —Let this man we pray thee, be put to death, for in this way, is he weakening the hands of the men of war who are left in this, city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking unto them such words as these; for, this man, is not seeking prosperity for this people but misfortune.
Hatdawkvah, kahrawikungnaw ni siangpahrang koevah pahren lahoi hete tami heh thei e lah awm naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni ni ahnimouh koe hettelah lawk a dei teh, hete khopui thung e taran ka tuk hane naw hoi taminaw tha a youn sak. Hete tami ni taminaw hawi nahane tawng laipalah thoenae doeh a tawng telah ati awh.
5 Then said King Zedekiah, —Lo! he is in your hand; for the king is not one who is able to do anything against you.
Siangpahrang Zedekiah ni khenhaw! ahni teh nangmae kut dawk poe lah ao toe nahoehmaw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, siangpahrang ni na ngai awh hoeh e ouk sak thai boihoeh telah a ti.
6 Then took they Jeremiah and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah son of the king, which was in the guard-court, and they let Jeremiah down with ropes, —now, in the dungeon, was no water only mire, so Jeremiah sank in the mire.
Jeremiah a ceikhai awh teh, ramveng rapan thung kaawm e siangpahrang capa Malkhijah talai rahim tangkom dawk a tâkhawng awh. Jeremiah teh tangkom thung tangdong dawk a pabo awh teh, tangdong dawk ao.
7 When Ebed-melech the Ethiopian one of the eunuchs, he being in the house of the king, heard that they had delivered Jeremiah into the dungeon, —the king being seated in the gate of Benjamin,
Ethiopia tami siangpahrang im ouk kaawm boi e, Ebedmelek ni Jeremiah talai thung tangkom dawk a ta tie hah a la thai. Hatnavah siangpahrang teh Benjamin longkha koe a la tahung.
8 then went forth Ebed-melech out of the house of the king, and spake unto the king, saying:
Ebedmelek teh siangpahrang im hoi a tâco teh, siangpahrang koevah,
9 My lord, O King! wickedly, have these men done all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom indeed they have cast into the dungeon, —since he would have died where he was because of the famine, for there is no bread any longer, in the city.
ka bawipa siangpahrang, hete taminaw ni profet Jeremiah talai thung tangkom dawk pabo e hah kalenpounge yonnae a sak awh e doeh. Vonhlam hoi a onae hmuen koe a due yawkaw han doeh, bangkongtetpawiteh, khopui thung vaiyei awm hoeh toe telah a ti.
10 Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian saying, —Take with thee from hence thirty men, and lift Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon before he die.
Hahoi siangpahrang ni Ethiopia tami Ebedmelek hah kâ a poe teh hi hoi tami 30 touh hoi cet awh nateh, talai thung tangkom dawk a due hoehnahlan profet Jeremiah teh lat awh telah kâ a poe.
11 So Ebed-melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence pieces of cast-off clothes, and old rags, —and let them down unto Jeremiah in the dungeon with the ropes.
Hottelah Ebedmelek ni tami a ceikhai teh, siangpahrang hnopai tanae im rahim a kâen teh angki karuem tâkhawng e hoi hnikapon hah a la teh, tangkom thung Jeremiah koe rui hoi a pabo pouh.
12 Then said Ebed-melech the Ethiopian unto Jeremiah, —Put, I pray thee the pieces of cast-off clothes and the old rags under thine arm-joints, under the ropes, And Jeremiah did so,
Ethiopia tami Ebedmelek ni Jeremiah koe hete angki ka pon hoi hnikapon naw heh na yakba rahim rui hoi pakhit atipouh e patetlah Jeremiah ni a sak.
13 Then drew they Jeremiah with the ropes, and lifted him up out of the dungeon, —and Jeremiah remained in the guard-court.
Jeremiah teh talai thung tangkom dawk hoi rui hoi a rasa awh. Hottelah, Jeremiah teh ramvengnaw e rapan thung ka saw lah ao.
14 Then King Zedekiah sent and fetched Jeremiah the prophet unto him, in the third entrance, which is in the house of Yahweh, —and the king said unto Jeremiah—I am going to ask thee a thing, do not hide anything from me.
Hahoi siangpahrang Zedekiah ni Jeremiah hah a kaw teh, BAWIPA e im kâennae apâthum e dawk ahni teh a kâenkhai. Siangpahrang ni lawk na pacei han banghai pâphat hanh loe telah a ti.
15 Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, When I tell thee, wilt thou not, surely put me to death? And when I counsel thee, thou wilt not hearken unto me.
Jeremiah ni ka dei pawiteh, na thei payon han boma. Pouknae na poe nakunghai bout na ngai mahoeh telah atipouh.
16 So King Zedekiah aware unto Jeremiah secretly saying, —By the life of Yahweh who made for us, this soul, I will in no wise put thee to death, Neither will I deliver thee into the hand of these men who are seeking thy life.
Siangpahrang Zedekiah ni, BAWIPA ka hringnae kasakkung a hring e patetlah na thet mahoeh, nang na ka thet hane naw hai na poe mahoeh, telah arulahoi thoe a kâbo.
17 Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah—Thus, saith Yahweh God of hosts, God of Israel—If thou wilt, indeed go forth, unto the princes of the king of Babylon, then shall thine own soul live, and, this city, shall not be burned with fire, —but thou shalt live, thou and thy house.
Hat toteh, Jeremiah ni BAWIPA Isarel Cathut ransahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, Babilon siangpahrang kahrawikungnaw koe na kâhmoun awh pawiteh, na hringnae a hlout han, hete khopui hai hmai kang mahoeh, nama hoi na imthungnaw hai na hring awh han.
18 But, if thou wilt not go forth unto the princes of the king of Babylon, then shall this city be delivered into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and, thou, shalt not escape out of their hand.
Hatei, Babilon siangpahrang kahrawikungnaw koe na kâhmoun awh hoehpawiteh, hete khopui heh Khaldean taminaw kut dawk poe lah ao han, hmaisawi awh vaiteh, ahnimae kut dawk hoi na hlout awh roeroe mahoeh telah atipouh.
19 Then said King Zedekiah unto Jeremiah: I am afraid of the Jews who have fallen away unto the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me, into their hand, and they maltreat me.
Siangpahrang Zedekiah ni Jeremiah koevah, Khaldean taminaw ka kâhmoun e Judah tami hah na man sak vaiteh, panuilai lah kaawm payon vaih tie ka lungpuen, atipouh.
20 But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver!—Hearken I pray thee unto the voice of Yahweh in what I am speaking unto thee, that it may be well with thee and thy soul live.
Hatei, Jeremiah ni na man sak mahoeh, nang koe ka dei e BAWIPA e lawk ma yuem. telah pawiteh nang hanlah ahawi han, hring hai bout na hring han.
21 But if thou art refusing to go forth, this, is the thing which Yahweh hath shewed me: —
Hatei, na kâhmoun hoehpawiteh, hethateh BAWIPA e lawk ni na hmusak e doeh.
22 behold, then, all the women that are left in the house of the king of Judah, brought forth unto the princes of the king of Babylon, —and, those very women, saying, The men thou wast wont to salute, have goaded thee on and prevailed upon thee, —Thy foot having sunk in the mire, they have turned away back.
Khenhaw! Judah siangpahrang im dawk kaawm e napuinaw pueng Babilon siangpahrangnaw koevah, ceikhai lah ao vaiteh, hote napuinaw niyah, na hui kahawinaw ni na dum awh teh na tâ awh toe, na khok hah tangdong dawk a mang tahma vah koung na cei takhai awh han, telah ati awh han.
23 Yea thou shalt behold all thy wives and thy children brought forth unto the Chaldeans, and thou, shalt not escape out of their hand, —but by the hand of the king of Babylon, shalt thou be taken, and, this city, shall be burned with fire.
Na yu na canaw hah Khaldean taminaw koe a ceikhai awh vaiteh, a kut dawk hoi na tâcawtkhai mahoeh toe. Babilon siangpahrang kut dawk man e lah na o vaiteh, nang kecu dawk hete khopui hmaisawi awh han telah atipouh.
24 Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah—Do not let, any man, know of these words, and thou shalt not die.
Zedekiah ni Jeremiah koevah, hete lawk apinihai thai hanh naseh, telah pawiteh na dout mahoeh telah atipouh.
25 But, when the princes hear that I have spoken with thee and they come in unto thee and say unto thee—Do tell us we pray thee what thou didst speak unto the king, do not hide it from us so will we not put thee to death, —and what spake the king unto, thee?
Hatei, kahrawikungnaw ni a kâpato roi e hah a thai awh. Nang koe a tho awh teh, siangpahrang na dei e hoi siangpahrang ni nang koe a dei e hai na dei pouh haw, kaimouh koe banghai pâphat hanh, na thet awh mahoeh, telah tet awh pawiteh,
26 Then shalt thou say unto them, —I was causing my supplication to fall prostrate before the king, —that he would not cause me to return to the house of Jonathan, to die there.
Ahnimouh koevah Jonathan im lah na ban sak nateh, hawvah ka due hoeh nahane lah doeh siangpahrang koe ka kâhei, telah na ti pouh han telah atipouh.
27 Then came in all the princes unto Jeremiah and asked him, and he told them according to all these words which the king, had commanded, —so they turned in silence from him, for the matter, had not been reported.
Hahoi, Jeremiah koe a tho awh toteh kahrawikungnaw ni a pacei awh. Siangpahrang ni kâ a poe e patetlah a dei pouh. Hat toteh, bout pacei awh hoeh toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, pouknae hah panuek awh hoeh.
28 So Jeremiah remained in the guard-court, until the day when Jerusalem, was captured; thus it fell out when Jerusalem, was captured.
Hottelah Jerusalem a tuk awh teh a lanae hnin totouh, Jeremiah teh thongim rapan thung ao rah. Hahoi Jerusalem teh a la awh.
