< Jeremiah 36 >

1 In the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
Judah siangpahrang Josiah capa Jehoiakim angraenghaih saning palito naah, Jeremiah khaeah Angraeng ih lok hae tiah angzoh,
2 “Take a scroll of a book, and write in it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah even to this day.
caqam tangoeng to la ah loe, Josiah angraenghaih saning ah lok kang thuih ni hoi kamtong vaihni ni khoek to Israel prae, Judah prae hoi prae kaminawk boih khaeah ka thuih ih misa ah ohhaih loknawk to tarik boih ah.
3 It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I intend to do to them, that they may each return from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.”
Nihcae nuiah ka phaksak han, tiah ka thuih ih amrohaih lok to Judah imthung takoh mah thaih naah, a sak o pazae ih hmuenawk to ka tahmen pae thai hanah, a caeh o ih kahoih ai loklam hoiah amlaem o khoe doeh om tih, tiah thuih.
4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all Yahweh’s words, which he had spoken to him, on a scroll of a book.
To pongah Jeremiah mah, Neriah capa Baruk to kawk moe, Angraeng khae hoi angzo Jeremiah mah thuih ih loknawk boih to, Baruk mah caqam tangoeng pongah tarik pae.
5 Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, “I am restricted. I can’t go into Yahweh’s house.
To pacoengah Jeremiah mah, Baruk khaeah, Toksah kaminawk mah kai ang pakaa o khoep pongah, Angraeng im thungah ka caeh thai mak ai:
6 Therefore you go, and read from the scroll which you have written from my mouth, Yahweh’s words, in the ears of the people in Yahweh’s house on the fast day. Also you shall read them in the ears of all Judah who come out of their cities.
to pongah buhzahhaih niah, Angraeng im ah caeh ah loe Angraeng khae hoi kangzo, caqam tangoeng pongah na tarik ih ka thuih ih loknawk to kaminawk khaeah kroek paeh; angmacae vangpui hoi angzo Judah kaminawk boih khaeah doeh kroek paeh.
7 It may be they will present their supplication before Yahweh, and will each return from his evil way; for Yahweh has pronounced great anger and wrath against this people.”
To tih nahaeloe nihcae mah a caeh o haih kahoih ai loklam hoiah amlaem o ueloe, Angraeng khaeah lawkthuih hoiah tahmenhaih hni o khoe doeh om tih; Angraeng palungphuihaih, kanung parai palungphuihaih hoi thuih ih hae kaminawk misa haih lok loe len parai, tiah a naa.
8 Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book Yahweh’s words in Yahweh’s house.
Tahmaa Jeremiah mah thuih ih loknawk boih, Neriah capa Baruk mah sak pae, Angraeng im thungah cabu thung ih Angraeng ih loknawk to a kroek pae.
9 Now in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, all the people in Jerusalem and all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem, proclaimed a fast before Yahweh.
Judah siangpahrang Josiah capa Jehoiakim angraenghaih saning pangato haih, khrah takawtto naah, Jerusalem ih kaminawk boih, Judah vangpui taeng hoi Jerusalem ah angzo kaminawk boih khaeah, Angraeng hmaa ah buhzahhaih atue to taphong o.
10 Then Baruch read the words of Jeremiah from the book in Yahweh’s house, in the room of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of Yahweh’s house, in the ears of all the people.
To naah Baruk mah, ca tarik kami Shaphan capa Gemariah ohhaih imkhaan, ranui bang ih longhma, Angraeng imthung khongkha kangtha akunhaih ahmuen ah, cabu thungah kaom Jeremiah mah thuih ih loknawk to Angraeng im ah angzo kaminawk boih khaeah kroek pae.
11 When Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all Yahweh’s words,
Cabu thung kaom Angraeng ih loknawk boih Shaphan capa Gemariah, Gemariah capa Mikaiah mah thaih naah,
12 he went down into the king’s house, into the scribe’s room; and behold, all the princes were sitting there, Elishama the scribe, Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, Elnathan the son of Achbor, Gemariah the son of Shaphan, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.
siangpahrang im thung ih ca tarik kami imkhaan ah caeh tathuk; khenah, toksah kaminawk boih, ca tarik kami Elishama, Shemiah capa Delailah, Akbor capa Elnathan, Shaphan capa Gemariah, Hananiah capa Zedekiah hoi ukkung angraengnawk boih to ahmuen ah anghnut o.
13 Then Micaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.
Baruk mah kaminawk hanah cabu to kroek pae naah, Mikaiah mah a thaih ih loknawk boih to nihcae khaeah thuih pae.
14 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, “Take in your hand the scroll in which you have read in the ears of the people, and come.” So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand, and came to them.
To pacoengah toksah angraengnawk boih mah, Kushi capa Shelemiah, anih ih capa Nethaniah, anih ih capa Jehudi to Baruk khaeah patoeh moe, Kaminawk khaeah na kroek pae ih caqam tangoeng to sinh moe, nihcae khaeah caeh hanah a thuisak. To pongah Neriah capa Baruk loe caqam tangoeng to ban ah sinh moe, nihcae khaeah caeh.
15 They said to him, “Sit down now, and read it in our hearing.” So Baruch read it in their hearing.
Toksah angraengnawk mah Baruk khaeah, Anghnu ah loe, kaicae han na kroek paeh, tiah a naa o. To pongah Baruk mah nihcae khaeah kroek pae.
16 Now when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said to Baruch, “We will surely tell the king of all these words.”
To loknawk boih a thaih o naah, maeto hoi maeto zithaih palungthin tawnh o moe, Baruk khaeah hae loknawk hae siangpahrang khaeah ka thuih pae o boih han, tiah a naa o.
17 They asked Baruch, saying, “Tell us now, how did you write all these words at his mouth?”
Nihcae mah Baruk khaeah, Hae loknawk boih tarik hanah mi mah maw ang thuih? Thui ah, tiah a naa o.
18 Then Baruch answered them, “He dictated all these words to me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.”
Baruk mah, Jeremiah mah hae loknawk boih hae ang thuih, kaimah catui hoi cabu thungah ka tarik, tiah a naa.
19 Then the princes said to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah go hide. Don’t let anyone know where you are.”
To naah toksah angraengnawk mah Baruk khaeah, Jeremiah hoi caeh hoih loe anghawk hoi ah; naa ah maw na oh hoi, tito mi mah doeh panoek hmah nasoe, tiah a naa o.
20 They went in to the king into the court, but they had laid up the scroll in the room of Elishama the scribe. Then they told all the words in the hearing of the king.
Caqam tangoeng to ca tarikkung Elishama imkhaan thungah suek o pacoengah, imthung longhma ah siangpahrang khaeah caeh o moe, lok a thuih pae o boih.
21 So the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it out of the room of Elishama the scribe. Jehudi read it in the hearing of the king, and in the hearing of all the princes who stood beside the king.
To caqam tangoeng to lak hanah, siangpahrang mah Jehudi to patoeh; anih mah ca tarikkung Elishama imthung hoiah caqam tangoeng to lak. Jehudi mah siangpahrang hoi a taengah angdoe toksah angraengnawk boih hmaa ah kroek pae.
22 Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, and there was a fire in the brazier burning before him.
Hae hmuen loe khrah takawtto naah oh, siangpahrang loe siktue naah a ohhaih im ah anghnut; a hmaa ah hmaitikhaih long laom to suek moe, hmai angawt.
23 When Jehudi had read three or four columns, the king cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.
Jehudi mah caphaek thumto maw, palito maw kroek pacoeng kruek, caqam to haita hoiah aah moe, hmai laom thungah a vah; to tiah caqam tangoeng to hmai mah kang boih.
24 The king and his servants who heard all these words were not afraid, and didn’t tear their garments.
Hae lok kathaih siangpahrang hoi anih ih tamnanawk thung ih kami mi kawbaktih mah doeh to lok to zii o ai; angmacae ih khukbuen doeh asik o ai.
25 Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the scroll; but he would not listen to them.
Elnathan, Delailah hoi Gemariah cae mah caqam tangoeng hmai thlaek han ai ah siangpahrang khaeah hnik o; toe nihcae ih lok to tahngai pae ai.
26 The king commanded Jerahmeel the king’s son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to arrest Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but Yahweh hid them.
Siangpahrang mah, ca tarikkung Baruk hoi Jeremiah to naeh hanah siangpahrang capa Jerameel, Azriel capa Seraiah hoi Abdeel capa Shelemaiah to patoeh; toe Angraeng mah nihnik to hawk ving.
27 Then Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah, after the king had burned the scroll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah mah thuih ih loknawk baktih toengah Baruk mah tarik ih caqam tangoeng to siangpahrang mah hmai thlaek pacoengah, Angraeng ih lok Jeremiah khaeah angzoh,
28 “Take again another scroll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned.
kalah caqam to la ah loe, Judah siangpahrang Jehoiakim mah hmai hoi thaek ih kangquem caqam pong ih loknawk to tarik let ah.
29 Concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, ‘Yahweh says: “You have burned this scroll, saying, ‘Why have you written therein, saying, “The king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and will cause to cease from there man and animal”?’”
Judah siangpahrang Jehoiakim khaeah, Angraeng mah, tipongah Babylon siangpahrang to angzo ueloe, hae prae hae phrae tih, hae ah kaom kami hoi moinawk to paduek boih tih, tiah na thuih moe, caqam tangoeng to hmai hoiah nathlaek loe? tiah thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
30 Therefore Yahweh says concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: “He will have no one to sit on David’s throne. His dead body will be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
To pongah Judah siangpahrang Jehoiakim kawng pongah Angraeng mah, Anih ih acaeng loe mi doeh David ih angraeng tangkhang pongah anghnu mak ai; anih ih qok loe khodai naah ni kana thungah va o ueloe, khoving naah dantui thungah va o sut tih.
31 I will punish him, his offspring, and his servants for their iniquity. I will bring on them, on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they didn’t listen.”’”
Angmah hoi a caanawk, a im ah kaom kaminawk boih, angmacae sakpazaehaih pongah ka thuitaek han; nihcae loe lok tahngai o ai pongah, nihcae nuiah phaksak han ka thuih ih raihaihnawk to Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk hoi Judah kaminawk boih nuiah ka phaksak boih han, tiah thuih, tiah a naa.
32 Then Jeremiah took another scroll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and many similar words were added to them.
To pongah Jeremiah mah caqam kalah to lak moe, ca tarikkung Neriah capa Baruk khaeah paek; Judah siangpahrang Jehoiakim mah hmai hoi thlaek ih caqam tangoeng thung ih loknawk boih to Jeremiah mah thuih moe, Baruk mah tarik let; to lok hoi anghmong kalah pop parai loknawk doeh tarik hoi thap.
