Jeremiah 27
1 Soon after Zedekiah became the King of Judah, Yahweh gave a message to me.
Judah siangpahrang Josiah capa Zedekiah abawinae kamtawng pasuek nah, BAWIPA koehoi hete lawk teh a pha.
2 This is what he said to me: “Make a (yoke/set of wooden bars to fasten around the neck of an ox), but fasten it around your own neck with leather straps.
BAWIPA ni kai koe hettelah a dei. Kahnam hoi a rui hah na lahuen dawk bang.
3 [Then] send messages to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, and Sidon, by telling those messages to the ambassadors from those countries who have come to Jerusalem to [talk to] King Zedekiah.
Edom siangpahrang, Moab siangpahrang, Taire siangpahrang, Zidon siangpahrang naw koevah, Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah koe patounenaw Jerusalem vah ka tho e kut dawk patawn.
4 Tell them to give this message to their kings: This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom the Israeli [people worship, ]:
A bawipanaw koe dei hanelah kâ a poe, hettelah Isarel Cathut, ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei. Hettelah na bawipanaw koe na dei pouh han.
5 ‘With my very great power [MTY, DOU] I created the earth and the people and the animals that are on the earth. And I can give my power to anyone whom I want to.
Kalenpounge ka hnotithainae hoi kut ka dâw teh, talai hoi tami hoi talai van e saringnaw phunkuep hah ka sak, poe hanlah ka pouk e naw koe kâ poe.
6 And now I am going to enable King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, who does what I want him to do, to control your countries. I am going to enable him to rule everything, even the wild animals.
Atu hai thoseh, ka thaw ka tawk e Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar e kut dawk hete ramnaw pueng teh kâ poe toe. Kahrawngum e saringnaw hai ahnie thaw tawk hanelah kâ poe toe.
7 [The people of] all the nations will work for him, and [later] for his son, and [later] for his grandson, until the time for them [to rule] is finished. Then [the armies of] many great kings from many nations will conquer Babylon.’
Ahnie uknae rawknae koe pha hoehnahlan teh, miphunnaw pueng ni ama hoi a capanaw hoi a mincanaw e thaw a tawk pouh awh han. Hathnukkhu miphun kapap, kalenpounge siangpahrangnaw ni ahni teh san lah a coung sak awh han.
8 But now I tell you that you must [do what the king of Babylon wants you to do] [MET], [like an ox that has] a yoke on its neck [must do what its master wants it to do]. I will punish any nation that refuses to do that. I will cause those people to experience war and famine and diseases, until [the armies of] Babylon have conquered that nation.
Hahoi, Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar e kahnam ka phawt ngai hoeh e, a thaw ka tawk ngai hoeh e miphun hoi uknaeram teh tahloi hoi thoseh, takangnae hoi thoseh, lacik hoi thoseh ahnie kut dawk hoi raphoe hoe roukrak, ahnimanaw teh ka rek han.
9 So, do not pay attention to your [false] prophets and fortune-tellers and people who predict what will happen by working magic or by talking with spirits of dead people. Those people say that the king of Babylon will not conquer your country.
Hatdawkvah, namamae profet, khueyue, mangkamangnaw, kutkhetkathoum, taânkasinaw, Babilon siangpahrang e thaw na tawk awh mahoeh telah ka dei e naw hah tang pouh hanh awh.
10 Those people are [all] liars. [If you believe what they say, ] it will result in your being exiled from your land. I will cause you to be taken from your land, and you will die far away.
Na ram dawk hoi ahlapoungnae koe na ceikhai thai nahanelah nangmouh koe laithoe kapâphonaw doeh, ka pâlei vaiteh he a kahma awh han.
11 But the people of any country who do what the King of Babylon wants them to do will remain in their own country and be able to plant their crops [MTY] [as they always have done. That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
Hatei, Babilon siangpahrang e kahnam ka phawt ni teh a thaw tawk hane ka ngai e tami teh amamae ram dawk bout ka o sak han, laikawk kanawk awh vaiteh haw vah kho pou a sak awh han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
12 [After I gave that message to those ambassadors, ] I gave the same message to King Zedekiah of Judah. [I said to him, ] “If you want to remain alive, do what the King of Babylon and his officials want you to do [MET].
Judah Siangpahrang Zedekiah koehoi hete lawknaw pueng ka dei pouh. Babilon siangpahrang e kahnam phawt awh nateh ama hoi a taminaw e thaw tawk nateh hring awh.
13 [It would be foolish for you not to do that, because the result would be that] you and your people would die by [your enemies’] swords or by famine or diseases, which Yahweh will cause any nation to experience that refuses to allow the King of Babylon to rule them.
Babilon siangpahrang e thaw ka tawk ngai hoeh e miphunnaw kong dawk BAWIPA ni a dei tangcoung e hah bangkongmaw tahloi hoi lacik dawk nama hoi na taminaw hah a due awh han vaw.
14 Do not pay attention to those prophets who say to you, ‘The King of Babylon will not conquer your country.’ They are liars.
Hatdawkvah nangmouh koe, Babilon siangpahrang e thaw tawk pouh hanh awh telah, ka dei e profetnaw e lawk hah yuem hanh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh koe laithoe doeh a pâpho awh.
15 [This is what] Yahweh says: ‘I have not appointed those prophets. They are saying that I [MTY] gave them messages, but they are lying. So, [if you believe them, ] I will expel you from this land. And you and all those prophets will die [in Babylon]!’”
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh kai ni ka patoun hoeh, hatei, nangmouh hoi nangmouh koe lawk ka pâpho e profet hah ka pâlei vaiteh na kahma awh nahan kaie min noe lahoi laithoe a pâpho awh, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
16 Then I spoke to the priests and the other people, and I said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘Do not believe your prophets who tell you that all the gold items [that were taken] from my temple [by soldiers from Babylon] will soon be returned from Babylon, because what they are prophesying is a lie.
Vaihmanaw hoi tamihunaw pueng koehai, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, nangmouh koevah, khenhaw Babilon hoi BAWIPA im dawk e hnopainaw teh bout a thokhai awh han, telah a dei e profetnaw e lawk hah yuem awh hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh koe laithoe kadeinaw doeh.
17 Do not pay attention to what they say. Surrender to the king of Babylon. If you do that, you will remain alive. [If you do not do that] [RHQ], this entire city will be destroyed.
Ahnimae lawknaw hah tarawi pouh hanh awh, Babilon Siangpahrang e thaw tawk awh nateh, hring awh, bangkongmaw he e khopui teh a rawk han vaw.
18 If they are really prophets who speak messages from me, tell them to plead to me, the Commander of the armies of angels, that [the soldiers from Babylon] will not be allowed to take away to Babylon the valuable items that [still] remain in the temple and in the king’s palace and in [the other palaces in] Jerusalem.
Hatei profet lah ao awh teh BAWIPA im hoi Judah siangpahrang im hoi Jerusalem e hnopai cei takhai e hah Babilon vah phakhai hoeh nahanlah ransahu BAWIPA koe pacei awh naseh.
19 [I say this] because the [huge] pillars [that are in front of the temple] and the large water tank and the [ten water] carts and all the other items that are used [for offering sacrifices are still in this city].
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ransahu BAWIPA ni khom karasang e hoi rahum tuium hoi pâhungnae hete khoi dawk kaawm rae hnopainaw hoi,
20 King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon left those things here when he exiled Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, to Babylon, along with all the [other] leaders of Jerusalem and [the leaders of other places in] Judah.
Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar ni Judah siangpahrang Jehoiakim hoi Judah hoi Jerusalem e kacuenaw pueng Jerusalem hoi Babilon lah san lah a ceikhai teh kaawm rae kong teh hettelah a dei.
21 [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom the Israeli [people worship], say this about all those valuable things that are still outside the temple and in the palace of the king of Judah and in [other places in]:
Ransahu BAWIPA, Isarel Cathut ni, BAWIPA e im hoi Judah siangpahrang e im hoi Jerusalem e hnopai kaawm rae kong dawk hettelah a dei.
22 They will [all] be carried away to Babylon. And they will stay there until I say that they should be brought back to Jerusalem. Then they will be bought back here. [That is what I, ] Yahweh, say.’”
Babilon lah ceikhai lah kaawm hane, ahnimouh ka hloe hoehnahlan teh, haw vah o awh han. Hahoi bout ka la vaiteh hete hmuen koe bout ka ta han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
