Jeremiah 36
1 Hahoi, Judah Siangpahrang Josiah capa Jehoiakim abawinae kum pali navah hete lawk BAWIPA koe hoi Jeremiah koe a pha.
It came about in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, and he said,
2 Cakalawng hah lat nateh, hot dawkvah nang koe ka dei e lawknaw pueng hoi Isarel taranlahoi thoseh, Judah taranlahoi thoseh, miphun pueng taranlahoi thoseh nang koe pasuek ka dei e hoi Josiah se koehoi sahnin totouh e lawknaw hah thun haw.
“Take a scroll for yourself and write on it all the words that I have told you concerning Israel and Judah, and every nation. Do this for everything I have told from the days of Josiah until this very day.
3 Judah imthungnaw ni a lathueng hawihoehnae ka sak hanlah kakâcainaw pueng a thai awh toteh, a sak payonnae hoi yonnae naw ka ngaithoum thai nahanelah, tami pueng ni amamae hringnuen hoi yonnae hah a kâthung thai yawkaw han doeh, telah ati.
Perhaps the people of Judah will listen to all the disasters that I intend to bring on them. Perhaps everyone will turn away from his wicked way, so I can forgive their iniquity and their sin.”
4 Jeremiah ni Neriah capa Baruk hah a kaw teh Baruk ni, BAWIPA e lawknaw pueng ahni koevah a dei pouh. Jeremiah e pahni dawk hoi ka tâcawt e lawknaw hah cakalawng dawk a thut.
Then Jeremiah called Baruch son of Neriah, and Baruch wrote in a scroll, at Jeremiah's dictation, all the words of Yahweh spoken to him.
5 Jeremiah ni Baruk koevah, kai teh paung e lah ka o dawkvah, BAWIPA e im dawk ka cet thai hoeh.
Next Jeremiah gave a command to Baruch. He said, “I am in prison and cannot go to Yahweh's house.
6 Hatdawkvah, nang cet nateh, BAWIPA e lawk ka pahni dawk hoi ka tâcawt ni teh cakalawng dawk na thut e BAWIPA e lawk hah rawcahai hnin BAWIPA e im dawk e tami pueng ni thainae koe touk pouh. Khopui, khote koehoi ka tho e Judah taminaw pueng ni thainae koehai touk pouh.
So you must go and read from the scroll that you wrote at my dictation. On the day of the fast, you must read Yahweh's words in the hearing of the people in his house, and also in the hearing of all of Judah who have come from their cities. Proclaim these words to them.
7 Tami pueng ni hringnuen yonnae naw hah kamlang takhai teh BAWIPA hmalah yon pankângai lahoi a tho thai awh yawkaw han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hete taminaw lathueng vah lungkhueknae hoi lungkâannae BAWIPA im dawk dei lah kaawm e hah a pataw tangngak, telah kâ a poe.
Perhaps their pleas for mercy will come before Yahweh. Perhaps each person will turn from his wicked way, since the wrath and fury that Yahweh has proclaimed against this people are severe.”
8 Hot patetlah, Neriah capa Baruk ni, profet Jeremiah ni ahni koe kâ a poe e patetlah BAWIPA im dawk BAWIPA e lawk, cauk thung e a touk.
So Baruch son of Neriah did everything that Jeremiah the prophet had commanded him to do. He read aloud the words of Yahweh in the house of Yahweh.
9 Hahoi, Judah siangpahrang Josiah capa Jehoiakim abawinae kum panga, thapa yung tako nah, Jerusalem e taminaw pueng hoi Judah khopui thung e Jerusalem hoi kathonaw pueng ni rawcahai hanelah a pathang awh.
It came about in the fifth year and ninth month of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, that all the people in Jerusalem and the people who came to Jerusalem from the cities of Judah proclaimed a fast before Yahweh.
10 Baruk ni BAWIPA im takhang kâennae dawk a lathueng lah kaawm e ca kathutkung Shaphan capa Gemariah e imrakhan, BAWIPA im dawk kaawm e hah taminaw pueng ni thainae koe a touk.
Baruch read aloud Jeremiah's words in the house of Yahweh, from the room of Gemariah son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper courtyard, by the gate of the entrance to the house of Yahweh. He did this in the hearing of all the people.
11 Shaphan capa Gemariah capa Mikaiah ni cauk thung kaawm e BAWIPA e lawknaw pueng a thai toteh,
Now Micaiah son of Gemariah son of Shaphan heard all of Yahweh's words in the scroll.
12 Siangpahrang im dawk a kum teh cakathutkung e imrakhan dawk a kâen. Hahoi khenhaw, hote kahrawikungnaw pueng cakathutkung Elishama, Shemaiah capa Delai, Abor capa Elnathan, Shaphan capa Gemariah, Hananiah capa Zedekiah hoi kahrawikungnaw pueng a tahung awh.
He went down to the house of the king, to the secretary's room. Look, all the officials were sitting there: Elishama the secretary, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Akbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the officials.
13 Mikaiah ni tamihunaw pueng ka thai lah Baruk ni cauk touk e kong a thai e naw pueng hah ahnimouh koe a pâpho pouh.
Then Micaiah reported to them all the words that he had heard that Baruch read aloud in the hearing of the people.
14 Hatdawkvah, kahrawikungnaw pueng ni Kushi capa, Shelemiah capa, Nathaniah capa Jehudi teh Baruk koe a patoun awh teh, ahni koevah, tamihunaw pueng ni ka thai lah na touk e cauk hah hrawm nateh tho, telah atipouh awh. Hattoteh Neriah capa Baruk teh cakalawng hrawm lahoi ahnimouh koe a tho.
So all the officials sent Jehudi son of Nethaniah son of Shelemiah son of Cushi, to Baruch. Jehudi said to Baruch, “Take the scroll in your hand, the scroll from which you were reading in the hearing of the people, and come.” So Baruch son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand and went to the officials.
15 Hahoi, ahni koevah tahung nateh kaimouh hnâthainae koe touk haw atipouh awh. Hottelah Baruk ni ahnimouh ka thai lah a touk pouh.
Then they said to him, “Sit down and read this in our hearing.” So Baruch read the scroll.
16 Hahoi, hote lawk a thai awh toteh, lungpuen laihoi buet touh hoi buet touh kâkhet awh teh Baruk koevah, hete hnonaw pueng heh siangpahrang ka dei pouh roeroe han, telah ati awh.
It happened that when they heard all these words, each man turned in fear to the one next to him and said to Baruch, “We must certainly report all of these words to the king.”
17 Hahoi Baruk koe, hete lawknaw pueng a pahni dawk hoi e bangtelamaw na thut, na dei pouh haw, telah a pacei awh.
Then they asked Baruch, “Tell us, how did you come to write all these words at Jeremiah's dictation?”
18 Baruk ni hete lawknaw pueng a pahni dawk hoi a dei teh cahang hoi cauk dawk ka thut e doeh, telah atipouh.
Baruch said to them, “He dictated all these words to me, and I wrote them in ink on this scroll.”
19 Ahnimouh ni Baruk koevah, cet nateh Jeremiah hoi kâhrawk roi, apini na o roinae panuek hanh naseh, telah atipouh awh.
Then the officials said to Baruch, “Go, hide yourself, and Jeremiah, too. Do not let anyone know where you are.”
20 Hote rapan thung siangpahrang teh cakathutkung Elishama e imrakhan dawk a hruek, a thung e lawknaw pueng pahni hoi siangpahrang koe a dei awh.
So they put the scroll in the room of Elishama the secretary, and they went to the king in the courtyard and they reported everything in the hearing of the king.
21 Hahoi siangpahrang ni cakalawng la hanelah Jehudi a patoun teh cakathutkung Elishama imrakhan thung e a la. Hahoi Jehudi ni siangpahrang hoi siangpahrang teng kangdout e kahrawikungnaw hnâthainae koe a touk.
Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll. Jehudi took it from the room of Elishama the secretary. Then he read it in the hearing of the king and all the officials who were standing beside him.
22 Thapa yung takonae kasik tue nah siangpahrang teh, hmaisaan a kamben.
Now the king was staying in the winter house in the ninth month, and a brazier was burning in front of him.
23 Hahoi, Jehudi ni rui hni, rui thum touh a touk toteh siangpahrang ni saraica hoi vekvek a sei teh hmai dawk a phum teh he a kak.
It happened that as Jehudi read three or four columns, the king would cut it off with a knife and throw it into the fire in the brazier until all of the scroll was destroyed.
24 Siangpahrang hoi thaw katawkkungnaw, hete lawk kathainaw pueng apinihai taket awh hoeh, a khohnanaw hai phi awh hoeh.
But neither the king nor any of his servants who heard all these words were frightened, nor did they tear their clothes.
25 Hothloilah, Elnathan hoi Delaiai hoi Gemariah tinaw ni cakalawng hmai phum hoeh nahanelah siangpahrang koe a kâhei, hatei banglah noutna hoeh.
Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah had even urged the king not to burn the scroll, but he did not listen to them.
26 Siangpahrang ni siangpahrang capa Jerahmeel hoi Azriel capa Seraiah hoi Abdel capa Shelemiah hah cakathutkung Baruk hoi profet Jeremiah man hanelah kâ a poe. Hateiteh, BAWIPA ni ahnimouh roi teh a hro.
Then the king commanded Jerahmeel, a relative, Seraiah son of Azriel, and Shelemiah son of Abdeel to arrest Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet, but Yahweh had hidden them.
27 Hote cakalawng hoi Jeremiah e pahni thung e Baruk ni a thut e lawknaw pueng siangpahrang ni hmai he a sawi hnukkhu BAWIPA e lawk Jeremiah koe a pha.
Then the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah after the king had burned the scroll and the words that Baruch had written at Jeremiah's dictation, saying,
28 Cakalawng alouke lat haw. Cakalawng apasuek dawk e lawknaw pueng Judah siangpahrang Jehoiakim ni hmai a sawi e naw hah bout thun haw.
“Go back, take another scroll for yourself, and write in it all the words that were on the original scroll, the one that Jehoiakim king of Judah burned.
29 Hahoi, Judah siangpahrang Jehoiakim e kong dawk hettelah na dei han. BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Babilon siangpahrang a tho roeroe vaiteh, hete ram raphoe vaiteh, hete taminaw hoi saringnaw pueng he a pâmit han, telah thut e hah, bangkongmaw hot patetlae lawk na thut telah cakalawng thut e hah hmai a sawi.
Then you must say this to Jehoiakim king of Judah: 'You burned that scroll, saying, “Why have you written on it, 'The king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, for he will destroy both man and beast in it'?”'”
30 Hatdawkvah, Judah siangpahrang Jehoiakim e kong dawk BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Devit e bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung hane tami tawn mahoeh. A ro hai kanîthun kâan poung e hoi tangmin tadamtui um vah tâkhawng lah ao han.
Therefore Yahweh says this concerning you, Jehoiakim king of Judah: “No descendant of yours will ever sit on the throne of David. As for you, your corpse will be thrown out into the heat of day and the frost of night.
31 Hahoi a yonnae dawkvah ama hoi a catounnaw hoi a thaw katawknaw ka rek han. Hahoi amamouh hoi Jerusalem vah kho kasaknaw hoi Judahnaw e lathueng ahnimouh koe ka pâpho pouh e hoi a thai ngai awh hoeh e hawihoehnae pueng ka pha sak han, telah ati.
For I will punish you, your descendants, and your servants for the iniquity of you all. I will bring on you, on all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on every person in Judah all the disasters with which I have threatened you with, but to which you paid no attention.”
32 Hottelah Jeremiah ni cakalawng alouke a la teh cakathutkung Neriah capa Baruk koe a poe. Ahni ni hawvah Jeremiah e pahni dawk hoi ka tâcawt e cakalawng dawk thut e naw pueng Jehoiakim ni hmaisawi e lawk hah bout a thut e hloilah hot hoi kâvan e lawknaw moikapap a thut sin.
So Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch son of Neriah the scribe. Baruch wrote on it at Jeremiah's dictation all the words that had been in the scroll burned by Jehoiakim king of Judah. Furthermore, many other similar words were added to this scroll.
