Jeremiah 32
1 After Zedekiah had been ruling Judah for almost ten years, Yahweh gave me another message, during the time that Nebuchadnezzar had been ruling [Babylonia] for almost 18 years.
Judah lengpa Zedekiah lengchan kal, kum som le get lhin kum chule Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar lengchan kal, kum 18 lhin kum chun, Pakai thusei Jeremiah heng ahung lhung in hitin aseiye.
2 His army was surrounding Jerusalem, and I was in a prison area in the courtyard where the guards of the king’s palace stayed.
Hichepet chun, Babylon lengpa sepai ten, Jerusalem khopi atoupha pet’u ahin, Jeremiah themgao pachu Judah leng inpi sung’a ahenpet u ahi.
3 King Zedekiah had put me there. I continued to prophesy there [about what would happen]. I continued to say, “Yahweh says that he is about to allow [the army of] the king of Babylon to capture this city [DOU].
Zedekiah lengpan, Jeremiah themgao chu, songkul'a ahen’a, thudoh aneichu; Ibol’a nang in gaothu nasei le’a, hitobang gaothu hi naseiham? Pakaiyin aseiye, Hichi khopi hi keiman Babylon lengpa khut a kapehdoh ahitai, aman ahinlah jeng ding ahi.
4 And the soldiers of Babylonia will capture King Zedekiah and (take him to/put him in the hands of) the king of Babylon.
Zedekiah lengpa chu jamdoh louding, Babylon lengpa khut a luttei ding ahi. Chuleh aman Babylon lengpa akimaitopi tei ding ahi.
5 Then his [soldiers] will take Zedekiah to Babylon, and he will remain there until I arrange for him to be punished. And if he tries to fight against the soldiers from Babylonia, he will not succeed.”
Babylon lengpan, Zedekiah lengpa chu, Babylon gam’a akailut ding, chukom’a chu ama umding, keiman ama kagavil kahsea umding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye. Hijeh chun, nanghon Babylon douna gal bol jongleu chun, najolou diu ahi, ati.
6 [At that time], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Chuin Pakaiyin hitin aseiye,
7 “[Your cousin] Hanamel, the son of Shallum [your uncle], will come to you. He will say to you, ‘Buy my field at Anathoth, [your hometown]. [Because you are my closest relative], [it is written in our laws that] you have the right to buy it [before I ask if anyone else wants to buy it].’”
Na pangah pa Shallem chapa, Hanamel chu nakom’a hung ding, ‘Anathoth mun’a um kalou khu, midang kapehdoh masang a, nangman kichoh tan kahung ti ahi. Ajeh chu, dan dungjui a alhat nading thaneina chu nang’a um ahi, nang in kichoh tan, ahung ti ding ahi.
8 And just as Yahweh had predicted, my cousin Hanamel came to see me in the courtyard of the palace. He said, “[Please] buy my field at Anathoth in the area [where the descendants of] Benjamin live. It is written in our laws that you have the right to buy it [before I ask if anyone else wants to buy it.]” When he said that, I knew that the message that I had received was [truly] from Yahweh.
Pakaiyin kaheng’a asei bang chun, ka pangah pa chapa Hanamel chu, kaheng’a ahung in, kakihenna songkul’a chun, hitin aseiye: “Benjamin gamsung’a Anathoth mun’a um kalou munkhu kichohtan, dan dungjuija, akilhat ding thaneina nanei ahi. Hijeh chun, midang khut a kapeh masang in, nang momg mong in kichoh tan, ahung ti. Hichun, Pakaiyin kaheng’a thu asei chu kahin hedohtai.
9 [So], I bought the field at Anathoth. I paid Hanamel 17 pieces of silver for it.
Hichun, keiman Hanamel loumun chu kachotai. Louman chu dangka Shekel somle sagi ahi.
10 I signed the paper/papyrus on which it was written that I was buying it, while others were watching/witnessing it. Then I weighed the silver [and gave it to him].
Hichun, kichohna lekha chu, keiman kikhut henna kabol in, melchihna kanam khumin, ahetoh ho umpet in, sumchu atena-ah katepeh in, kapetai.
11 Then I took two copies of the paper/papyrus. One was sealed and the other was not sealed. On both of them was written the price and conditions of the purchase. I took both copies
Chuin Mohor kinam khum, lou-kichohna lekha, akichohdan aning-akah kijih na lekha jong chu kalan,
12 and I gave them to Baruch, who was the son of Neraiah and the grandson of Mahseiah. I did this while my cousin Hanamel, the [other] witnesses who had signed the paper/papyrus, and other men of Judah who were there in the courtyard, were watching.
Hiche lekha teni chu, keiman Nerieh chapa Baruch, Masheiah tupa chu kapetai. Hichehi, Hanamel angsung leh ahetoh sakhi bolho angsung ah chuleh chukom a um Judah angsung tah’a, keiman kapedoh ahi.
13 [Then], while they were [all] listening, I said to Baruch,
Hichun keiman miho angsung achun, Baruch chu hitin thu kaseipeh in,
14 “This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says: ‘Take both copies of this paper/papyrus and put them in a clay jar, to preserve them for a long time.
Hatchungnung Pakai, Israel Pathen in, hitin aseiye: Hiche lou-kichohna lekha teni hi, kumsotpi umthei nadingin, leibel sung khat’a koitup in ati, katipeh in ahi.
15 [Do that] because this is what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [you] Israelis [worship], say: “[Some day people will again own property] in this land, and they will buy and sell houses and vineyards and fields.’”
Ijeh inem itileh, Hatchungnung Pakai, Israel Pathen in aseiye: Nikhat teng, mihon hiche gamhi ahinlo kitdiu, in holeh loumun ho, chuleh lengpilei ho, ahin kichoh diu ahi, ati.
16 After I had given the papers/papyri to Baruch, I prayed to Yahweh, saying this:
Chuin, lou-kichohna lekha hochu Nerieh chapa Baruch khut’a kapehdoh phat in, keima Pakai heng’a katao in hitin kati:
17 “Yahweh, [you are my] Lord! You made the sky and the earth by your very great power. [MTY, DOU] Nothing is too difficult for you [to do].
Vo, Hatchungnung Pakai! Nangman vamthamjol le leiset hi, naban thahat namanchah’a nasemdoh ahin, nang ding in imacha ahahsa aumpoi.
18 You show thousands of people that you faithfully love them, but you punish people for the sins that their parents have committed. [You are the] great and powerful God, the Commander of the armies of angels.
Nangman, nalungsetna longlou chu, mihem asang sang ho namusah jin; chuleh langkhat a nangman mipate chonset na gachu achate khang a nalethuh jin ahi. Nangma loupitah, thaneitah chule Hatchungnung Pakai Pathen nahi.
19 You make wise plans and you do mighty deeds. You see how all people behave [DOU], and you do to them what they deserve.
Chihna jouse hungkon doh na nahin, thil nasatah tah leh bolmo kidangho nabol’e. chuleh nangman mihemte chon-lamlhah abon'in navelhi jingin, Atoh dungjuija achan diuva lomin na lethuh jin ahi.
20 You performed many miracles [DOU] in Egypt, and you continue [to perform miracles here] in Israel and everywhere else in the world. [Because of that], you have (become very famous/caused many people to know that you are very great/powerful).
Nangman Egypt gamsung’a thil kidang tampi na nabol in, hiche hochu tuni geiyin mihon ageldoh jing uve. Hitobang bolmo kidang ho chu, Israel lah a chule namtin vaipi lah’a jong nabol jing in, nangman naming nakthansah tai, tuni geiyin.
21 You brought our Israeli ancestors out of Egypt by performing many great miracles [DOU], using your very great power [DOU], causing [our enemies to be] terrified.
Nangman, Egypt gamsung’a bolmo kidang tampi nabol in, nakhut tah in naban thahat mangchan, chuleh miho ding’a tijat umtah in name Israelte, Egypt akon in nahin puidoh e.
22 You gave to us Israeli people this land that you solemnly promised to give to our ancestors, a land that is very fertile [IDM].
Nangman amaho chu, apu apateu natepih bang chun, hiche gam leiset, khoiju le Bongnoi lonna gamhi, namite napetai.
23 Our ancestors came here and conquered this land and started to live in it, but they refused to obey you or to do what you commanded them to do. Because of that, you have caused us to experience all these disasters.
Chuin kapu kapateu vin, hiche gamhi alouvin aching tauve. Ahinla amahon nasei angaipouvin, nahil bang in achonpouve. Hijeh’a chu nangman amaho chung’a hiche manthahna hi nalhunsah ahitai.
24 And now, [the army] of Babylonia has built ramps up against our city [walls] in order to attack our city. Because of [our enemies’] swords and because of famines and diseases, they will be able to conquer it [easily]. The things that you said would happen have [now] happened.
Vetan, khopi lonvuh ding in galmiten, kulpi bang kimvel’a pansatna sangtah tah ahintol lut uvin, ahindel khum tauve. Tua hiche khopi hi, gal leh kel jeh’a, natna hise hojeh’a chuleh tijatna jeh’a, Babylon te khut’a lutdingah ati. Ijakai hi, nangman naseisa bang in alhungsoh tai.
25 [And it is evident that] the Babylonian army will soon conquer this city. So now, Yahweh my Lord, [I do not understand] why you told me to buy this field with my silver, while others were watching. [It seems that I have just been wasting my money by doing that]!”
Hijongleh, Vo Hatchungnung Pakai, hiche khopi hi Babylon te khut’a lutding koncha ahivang in, nangman keijeh a “Sakhi ding mikihol inlang, loumun hi nangman kichoh in, tia einasol chu, nangma nahi, kati,” ati.
26 [Then] Yahweh gave me this message:
Chujouvin, Jeremiah henga Pakaiyin hitin aseiye,
27 “I am Yahweh, the God [who rules] all the people [in the world]. There is absolutely nothing [RHQ] that is too difficult for me [to do].
Vetan, keima hi Pakai, leiset chunga cheng mihing jouse Pathen chu kahi. Keidinga ipi ahahsa um'em?
28 So, this is what I say: [It is true that] I will enable the Babylonian army and King Nebuchadnezzar to capture this city.
Hichun Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Keiman hiche khopihi, Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar khut’a kapeh ding, chule aman ahin lahding ahitai.
29 The soldiers of Babylonia who are [now outside the walls] around the city will enter and burn this city. They will burn down [all] the houses where people caused me to become angry by burning incense on [the tops of] their roofs to [honor] Baal and by pouring out offerings of wine to other gods.
Khopi polam’a pansa Babylon techu, asunga hunglut uva, khopi hi meiya ahalvam diu ahi. Chule keima phinna-a baal dinga gim namtwi kihal naleh doilim semthu ho chibai kibohna in jouse, abon’a kihalvam ding ahi.
30 The people of Israel and Judah have continually done only evil things from the time that they became a nation. They have caused me to become very angry by all their evil deeds.
Ajeh chu, Israel leh Juda miten, aneolaiyuva pat in, thilse jeng abol uvin, keima eiphindoh tauve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
31 From the time that this city was built until now, the people of this city have done [only] things that caused me to be very angry [DOU]. So [now] I will destroy it.
Hiche khopi kisahdoh til’a pat tuni geiyin, amahon apha abol pouve. Kalunghanna leh kamah ngenbou aboluvin, hijeh’a chu, hiche khopi hi, keiman kamitmu’a kon’a katolmang ding ahi.
32 The people of Israel and Judah, [including] their kings, their officials, the priests, the [false] prophets, and all the other people in Jerusalem have committed many sins that have caused me to become angry.
Israel leh Judah chonsetna, Jerusalem mite, lengpa leh achapateu, thempu holeh themgao ho, achonsetnau chun, keima eiphin doh’a chle eilunghansah ahitai.
33 My people have turned away from me and have refused to return to me. Even though I taught them things many times, they would not pay attention to what I taught them, and they would not obey me.
Hiche mitehin einungsun’uvin, keima heng lam’ah hung kihei dingjong ago pouve. Keiman amaho kahil hil vang'in, amahon ngai nahsah in aneipouvin, kathuhil hojong kilahlut ding agel pouve.
34 They have set up their detestable idols [even] in my own [MTY] temple and (defiled it/caused it to become a place that is unacceptable for people to worship me).
Amahon, keima insung tah’a jong, thet umtah doilim ho atungdoh uvin, nasatah in asuboh taove.
35 They have built shrines to [honor] Baal in Ben-Hinnom Valley [outside Jerusalem], and there they sacrifice their sons and daughters to [their god] Molech. I never commanded them to do such horrible things. I never even thought that anyone might do such a terrible thing. And by doing it they have caused [all the people of] Judah to [be guilty of having] sinned.”
Amahon, Ben Hinnom phaicham’a chun, doilim houna, Baal maicham tampi asemdoh un, achapateu leh achanu teuchu Molech heng’a, kilhaina thilto in atohdoh uvin ahi. Hitobang chonset gitlou nahi, keiman kalunggil’a kavop khahlou chule blding thupeh’a jong kanei khahlou hel ahi; Hiche hin Juda chu chonsetna’a alhahlut sah ahitai, ati.
36 “But now [I will say something more] about this city. You [people of Jerusalem] have been saying, ‘[The army of] the King of Babylon will conquer it, either by their swords or because of famines or diseases.’ But this is what [I], Yahweh, the God whom you Israeli people [say you belong to], say:
Tun, nanghon hiche khopi hi, gal jeh, keljeh, chuleh natna hise jeh’a, Babylon lengpa khut’a kipedoh ahi. Atiuve. Ahin, keima, Pakai, Israel Pathen in kasei hi ipi ham, ngai uvin, ati.
37 ‘I will certainly bring my people back here again, from all the countries to which I will force them to go because I am extremely angry [DOU] with them. I will bring them back to this city and allow them to live here safely.
Vetan, kalunghan behseh jeh’a, kathethang na gam ho’a kon’a keiman ama hohi, kahin lepui kit diu ahi. Keiman amaho chu hiche khopi ahi, kahin lepuilut kit’a, amaho lungmong’a kachensah ding ahiu’ve.
38 They will be my people, and I will be their God.
Chuti’a chu, amaho kamite hiuva, chule keima amaho Pathen kahi ding ahi.
39 I will cause them to have one way of thinking [IDM] and behaving, in order that they may revere me, for their good and for the good of their descendants.
Amaho chu, keiman lungthim khatseh leh lampi khatseh bou, keima eijabol theina diuva chule amaholeh ason apah’u phatchom nading’a, kapeh ahitai.
40 I will make an agreement with them that will last forever: I will never stop doing good things for them, and I will encourage them to revere me and never turn away from me.
Chuleh keiman tonsot geiya ding’a, amahotoh kitepna khat kasem ding, keiman amaho ding’a thilpha kabol kangahlou hel ding ahi. Chuleh amaho jong kei’a kon’a avel’a kahei manglou nadiuva, alungsung uva keima ginna lungchang kahoipeh ding ahiuve.
41 I will be happy to do good things for them, and I will surely enable them to return to this land and remain here [MET]; I will do that with all my inner being and all my strength.’
Chuleh amaho ding thilpha kabolpeh’a kon’a, keima kakipa jing ding, kalungthim pumpi’a kitah tah’a amaho ding’a thilpha tampi kabolpeh’a, hiche gamsung hi avel’a thingphung kiphut bang’a kahulut kit ding ahiuve, ati.
42 And this is [also] what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘I have caused them to experience all these disasters. Similarly, [some day] I will do for them all the good things that I have promised.
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Keiman hiche mite chung’a hamsetna tampi kalhut khumden bang’a chu, keiman amaho chung’a thilpha tampi katepeh bang’a kabolpeh kit ding ahi.
43 [By buying land you, Jeremiah, have predicted that some day] people will buy and sell fields in this land about which you [people of Jerusalem] now say, “The Babylonian soldiers have destroyed it. It is [now] desolate. [It is a land where] there are no longer any people or animals.”
Nangbon, ‘Hiche gamsunghi, Babylonte khut’a kapeh doh’a, mihem holeh sahem hojong abon’a mangthei soh’a, chuleh gamsunghi ahomkeu’a kimohjam’a hitam? Tia naseyu hiche gamsung’a loumun hojouse chu kichodo kit ding ahiuve.
44 [But some day] people will [again] buy [and sell] fields here. People will sign documents [about buying those fields], and [other people] will witness them doing that. [That will happen] in the land where [the descendants of] Benjamin live and [here] in the villages near Jerusalem, in [other] towns in Judah, in the hilly areas and in the foothills [to the west], and in the southern desert area, [too. Some day] I will cause them to prosper again. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.’”
Benjamin gamsung’a Jerusalem khopi leh akimvel’a, Judah khopi jouse’a, chule thinglhang gamsung jouse’a chule Negev gamsung’a kon’a, loumun ho jouse avel’a kichodoh kit ding, hiche kichohna lekha kijih’a chu, ahetoh miho jaona’a, kikhut henna leh Mohor kinamdetna umcheh ding ahi. Ajeh chu, keiman amaho chung’a hamphatna tincheng kapeh ding ahitai, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
