Jeremiah 43
1 [So] I finished telling to the people that message from Yahweh our God.
Jeremiah ni tamimaya koevah, BAWIPA Cathut e lawk, BAWIPA Cathut ni dei hanelah a patoun e kong naw hoi lawknaw pueng he a dei hnukkhu,
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!
Hoshaiah capa Azariah hoi Koreah capa Jahanan hoi ka kâoup e taminaw pueng ni Jeremiah a pathung awh teh, ahni koevah, kalanhoehe lah lawk na dei, BAWIPA ka Cathut ni Izip ram dawk kho na sak awh hanlah na cet awh mahoeh, telah dei hanlah na patoun roeroe hoeh.
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.”
Khaldean taminaw e kut dawk man e lah ka o awh teh, na thei awh nahane hoi Babilon san lah na hrawi awh nahan Neriah capa Baruk ni kaimouh tuk hanlah na patoun e doeh telah a dei awh.
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.
Hahoi teh, Koreah capa Johanan hoi ransanaw kahrawikung hoi tamimaya ni Judah ram dawk khosak hanlah BAWIPA e lawk hah thai han ngai awh hoeh.
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.
Hahoi, Koreah capa Johanan hoi ransahu kahrawikung ni kacawirae Judah taminaw pueng, Judah ram dawk khosak hanlah kampuen ni teh a onae miphunnaw koe ka ban awh e naw,
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.
napui, tongpa, camonaw hoi siangpahrang canunaw hoi tami pueng ramvengnaw kahrawikung Nebuzaradan ni Shaphan capa, Ahikam capa Gedaliah hoi ahni koe e a hruek e taminaw ni, profet Jeremiah hoi Neriah capa Baruk hai a ceikhai awh.
7 They refused to obey Yahweh, and they took us all [to Egypt], as far as Tahpenes [city].
Hattoteh Izip ram dawk a cei awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e lawk thai han a ngai awh hoeh dawk, Tahpanhes totouh a cei awh.
8 [While we were] at Tahpenes, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Tahpanhes vah BAWIPA e lawk Jeremiah koe a pha.
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.
Talungpui lat nateh, Tahpanhes e Faro im kâennae a kung koe amhru lai rahim vah Judah taminaw e hmalah roeroe vah hrawk pouh.
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].
Hahoi ahnimouh koe ransahu BAWIPA Isarel Cathut ni hettelah a dei, khenhaw! ka thaw tawk e Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar hah tha kaawm lahoi ka thokhai vaiteh, ahni ni hete talung ka pakawp e naw dawk, a bawitungkhung a ta vaiteh, ahnimae lathueng siangpahrang hni hoi a khu han.
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.
A tho vaiteh Izip ram a tuk vaiteh, ahmaloe kadoutnaw e duenae koe san lah kaawm hane naw, san dawk tahloi hoi kadout hane naw tahloi dawk a hruek han.
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.”’”
Izip taminaw e cathut im dawk hmai tâco sak lahoi he a kak vaiteh, san lah a ceikhai han. Tukhoumkung khohna a kho e patetlah Izip ram teh a khohna han. Hote hmuen koehoi karoumcalah a tâco vaiteh,
