Jeremiah 43
1 [So] I finished telling to the people that message from Yahweh our God.
Angmacae Angraeng Sithaw mah, hae loknawk hae nihcae khaeah thuih pae boih hanah, Jeremiah to patoeh baktih toengah, anih mah kaminawk boih khaeah lokthuih pae,
2 But then Johanan and Azariah and some other insolent/arrogant men said to me, “You are lying! Yahweh our God has not told [us] that we should not go to Egypt!
to pacoengah Hosaiah capa Azariah hoi Kariah capa Johanan, amoek kaminawk boih mah, Jeremiah khaeah, Amsawnlok ni na thuih! Izip prae ah khosak han ih caeh o hmah, tiah thuih han ih kaicae Angraeng Sithaw mah nang to patoeh ai, tiah a naa o:
3 [We think that] Baruch has urged/persuaded you to say this, in order that [if we stay here], the soldiers from Babylonia will seize us and kill us or take us to Babylonia.”
toe Neriah capa Baruk mah, Kaicae hae Khaldian kaminawk ban ah paek moe, humsak pacoengah, Babylon misong ah caehsak han koeh pongah ni, nang han to tiah lok ang thuisak, tiah a naa o.
4 So Johanan and the other leaders of the [Israeli] soldiers and [many of] [HYP] the other people [who were there] refused to obey Yahweh’s command to stay in Judah.
To pongah Kariah capa Johanan hoi misatuh angraengnawk hoi kaminawk boih loe Judah prae ah khosak han thuih pae ih, Angraeng ih lok to tahngai o ai.
5 Johanan and all the [other] leaders gathered together all the people who had returned from the other countries to which they had been scattered.
To pongah Kariah capa Johanan hoi misatuh angraengnawk mah, Judah prae to tacawt o taak moe, prae kruekah kaproeng kaminawk, Judah ah khosak han amlaem let kaminawk boih,
6 [They included] men, women, children, the king’s daughters, and all those whom Nebuzaradan had left with Gedaliah, and they also took Baruch and me.
nongpa hoi nongpatanawk, nawktanawk hoi siangpahrang canunawk, siangpahrang toepkung Nebuzaradan mah, Shaphan capa Ahihkam, anih ih capa Gedaliah khaeah caehtaak sut ih kaminawk boih, tahmaa Jeremiah hoi Neriah capa Baruk cae to caeh o haih boih.
7 They refused to obey Yahweh, and they took us all [to Egypt], as far as Tahpenes [city].
Nihcae loe Angraeng ih lok to tahngai ai ah, Izip prae ah a caeh o; Tahpanhes ahmuen karoek to a caeh o.
8 [While we were] at Tahpenes, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Tahpanhes ah oh o naah Angraeng ih lok to Jeremiah khaeah angzoh,
9 “While the people of Judah are watching you, take some large rocks and bury them under the brick pavement at the entrance to the king’s palace there at Tahpenes.
Jeremiah, thlung kalen to sin ah loe, Tahpanhes ih Faro siangpahrang im akunhaih taengah kaom amlai long sakhaih ahmuen ah, Judah kaminawk hmaa ah aphum ah.
10 Then say to the people of Judah, ‘This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [you] Israelis [say you belong to], says: “I will summon Nebuchadnezzar the King of Babylon, who does my work, to come [with his army] to Egypt. I will set up his throne over these stones that I told Jeremiah to bury. And Nebuchadnezzar will set up his tent there [to show that he has become] the King [of Egypt].
To pacoengah nihcae khaeah, Khen oh, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah, Ka tamna Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar to kang patoeh, ka phum ih hae thlungnawk nuiah anih ih angraeng tangkhang to ka suek han; anih mah siangpahrang ih kahni im to a nuiah payang tih.
11 When his [army] comes, they will attack Egypt. Then those will die who [I have determined] must die, those who [I have determined] must be captured will be captured, and those who [I have determined] must be killed by swords will be killed by swords.
Anih to angzoh naah, Izip prae to tuh tih, duek han krah kaminawk to paduek ueloe, tamna ah hoih han krah kaminawk to tamna ah hoi tih; sumsen hoi hum han krah kaminawk to sumsen hoiah hum tih.
12 Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt. [But before they burn the temples], they will take away their idols [as souvenirs]. His [troops] will clean Egypt like a shepherd cleans lice from his cloak. They will tear down the sacred pillars that are in the temple of their sun god. And then Nebuchadnezzar’s [troops] will leave there, without having been harmed.”’”
Anih mah Izip sithawnawk suekhaih imnawk to hmai hoiah thlaek tih; to imnawk to hmai hoiah thlaek ueloe, sithawnawk to la ving tih; tuutoep kami mah angmah ih kahni to angkhuk baktih toengah, Nebuchanezzar mah Izip prae to angkhuk ueloe, kamongah caehtaak tih.
Izip prae Beth-Shemesh vangpui ih krangnawk to paro ueloe, Izip kaminawk mah sithaw suekhaih imnawk to hmai hoiah thlaek pae boih tih, tiah a naa.
