Jeremiah 37
1 Now Zedekiah son of Josiah reigned as king instead of Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim. Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had made Zedekiah king over the land of Judah.
Josiah capa Zedekiah teh Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar ni Judah ram siangpahrang lah ao sak e Jehoiakim capa Koniah yueng lah a bawi.
2 But Zedekiah, his servants, and the people of the land did not listen to the words of Yahweh that he proclaimed by the hand of Jeremiah the prophet.
Hatei, ama hoi a thaw katawkkungnaw hoi a ram thung kaawm e taminaw ni, profet Jeremiah ni a dei e BAWIPA lawk thai ngai awh hoeh.
3 So King Zedekiah, Jehukal son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest sent a message to Jeremiah the prophet. They said, “Pray on our behalf to Yahweh our God.”
Siangpahrang Zedekiah ni, Shelemiah capa Jehukal hoi Maaseiah capa vaihma Zephaniah hah profet Jeremiah koe Cathut BAWIPA na ratoum pouh haw telah dei pouh hanelah a patoun.
4 Now Jeremiah was coming and going among the people, for he had not yet been put in prison.
Jeremiah teh taminaw hoi ama ngai patetlah a paitun rah. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hatnavah thongim thung bawt hoeh rah.
5 Pharaoh's army came out from Egypt, and the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard the news about them and left Jerusalem.
Faro ransahu Izip ram hoi a tâco awh toe. Jerusalem kalup e Khaldean taminaw ni ahnimae kamthang a thai awh toteh, Jerusalem a ceitakhai awh.
6 Then the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
Hat toteh, BAWIPA e lawk profet Jeremiah koe a pha.
7 “Yahweh, God of Israel, says this: This is what you will say to the king of Judah, because he has sent you to seek advice from me, 'See, Pharaoh's army, which came to help you, is about to go back to Egypt, its own land.
Isarel Cathut BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, Judah siangpahrang ni kai koe pouknae hei hanelah a patoun e naw koevah, khenhaw! Faro ransahu nangmouh kabawp hanlah kathonaw hah amamae ram Izip lah bout a ban awh han.
8 The Chaldeans will return. They will fight against this city, capture it, and burn it.'
Khaldean taminaw teh ban awh vaiteh, hete khopui heh tuk laihoi a la awh vaiteh hmai a sawi awh han.
9 Yahweh says this: Do not deceive yourselves by saying, 'Surely the Chaldeans are leaving us,' for they will not leave.
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, Khaldean taminaw ni na ceitakhai awh han telah namahoima kâdum hanh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na ceitakhai awh mahoeh.
10 Even if you had defeated the entire Chaldean army that is fighting you so that only wounded men were left in their tents, they would get up and burn this city.”
Nangmouh ka tuk e Khaldean ransahu na tâ awh nakunghai, ahnimouh thung e hmâ ka cat ni teh kaawm rae naw hah amae rim hoi thaw awh vaiteh hete khopui heh, hmaisawi awh roeroe han, telah na dei han telah atipouh.
11 So it was when the Chaldean army had left Jerusalem as Pharaoh's army was coming,
Hahoi, Faro ransahu taki lahoi Khaldean ransanaw ni Jerusalem a ceitakhai awh navah,
12 then Jeremiah went out from Jerusalem to go to the land of Benjamin. He wanted to take possession of a tract of land there among his people.
Jeremiah ni hote taminaw rahak hoi, a ham la hanelah Benjamin ram dawk kâen hanelah Jerusalem a tâco takhai.
13 As he was in the Benjamin Gate, a chief guard was there. His name was Irijah son of Shelemiah son of Hananiah. He grabbed hold of Jeremiah the prophet and said, “You are deserting to the Chaldeans.”
Benjamin longkha koe a pha navah, ramvengnaw kahrawikung Hananiah capa Shelemiah capa, a min Irijah teh hawvah a la o. Ahni ni Khaldean taminaw hoi na kâkuet telah profet Jeremiah hah a man awh.
14 But Jeremiah said, “That is not true. I am not deserting to the Chaldeans.” But Irijah did not listen to him. He took Jeremiah and brought him to the officials.
Jeremiah ni laithoe doeh. Khaldean taminaw koe ka kâkuen hoeh telah ati. Hatei, thai ngai hoeh. Hat toteh, Irijah ni Jeremiah hah a man teh kahrawikungnaw koe a ceikhai.
15 The officials were angry with Jeremiah. They beat him and put him in prison, which had been the house of Jonathan the scribe, for they had turned it into a prison.
Kahrawikungnaw teh Jeremiah koe puenghoi a lungkhuek awh. A hem awh hnukkhu, ca kathutkung Jonathan im e thongim dawk a pabo awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hot teh thongim lah a hmoun e doeh.
16 So Jeremiah was put into an underground cell, where he stayed for many days.
Jeremiah teh talai thung thongim dawk a kâen teh hawvah, a hnin kasawlah ao.
17 Then King Zedekiah sent someone who brought him to the palace. In his house, the king asked him privately, “Is there any word from Yahweh?” Jeremiah answered, “There is a word: You will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon.”
Siangpahrang Zedekiah ni tami a patoun teh a tâco sak. Siangpahrang im vah arulahoi a pacei teh ahni koevah, BAWIPA koehoi e lawk ao bangmaw telah a ti.
18 Then Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, “How have I sinned against you, your servants, or this people so that you have placed me in prison?
Jeremiah ni siangpahrang Zedekiah koevah, nama thoseh, na thawtawknaw koe thoseh, hete taminaw koe thoseh, bangpatet lae yonnae maw ka sak teh thongim na paung.
19 Where are your prophets, the ones who prophesied for you and said the king of Babylon will not come against you or against this land?
Nang koe Babilon siangpahrang ni tuk hanelah tho mahoeh telah ka dei e na profetnaw hah namaw ao awh.
20 But now listen, my master the king! Let my pleas come before you. Do not return me to the house of Jonathan the scribe, or I will die there.”
Oe siangpahrang ka BAWIPA pahren lahoi na thai pouh haw. Ka kâhei e heh dâw haw. Ka kâhei, ca kathutkung Jonathan im lah bout na ban sak hanh, hawvah kadout payon vaih, telah a ti.
21 So King Zedekiah gave an order. His servants confined Jeremiah in the courtyard of the guard. A loaf of bread was given him every day from the street of the bakers, until all the bread in the city was gone. So Jeremiah stayed in the courtyard of the guard.
Siangpahrang Zedekiah ni, kâ a poe teh Jeremiah hah ramveng rapan thung vah a paung. Vaiyei kasakkungnaw ni sak e thung hoi hnintangkuem vaiyei phen buet touh khopui thung vaiyei ao roukrak a poe awh. Hottelah Jeremiah teh ramvengnaw e rapan thung vah ao.
