Jeremiah 44
1 Egypt khohmuen kah khosa rhoek, Migdol neh Tahpanhes kah khosa, Noph neh Parthros khohmuen kah Judah boeih ham Jeremiah taengah ol ha pawk.
The word which came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews that dwelt in the land of Egypt, that dwelt at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the land of Pathros, saying:
2 “Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Jerusalem so neh Judah khopuei boeih ah boethae cungkuem ka thoeng sak te na hmuh uh coeng. Tahae khohnin ah imrhong te a khuiah khosa om mahpawh ne.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Ye have seen all the evil which I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein;
3 A boethae uh hman ah kai veet ham a saii uh pathen tloe taengah hmueih phum ham neh thothueng ham pongpa uh. Amih te amamih long khaw, nangmih long khaw, na pa rhoek long khaw a ming uh moenih.
because of their wickedness, which they have committed, to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense and to serve strange gods, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers;
4 Ka sal boeih te nangmih taengah kan tueih coeng. Tonghma rhoek te a thoh neh ka tueih tih, ‘Tueilaehkoi hno te saii uh boel mai, te te ka hmuhuet,’ ka ti.
and I sent to you all my servants, the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying: O do not this abominable thing, which I hate!
5 Tedae hnatun uh pawt tih pathen tloe ham ka phum pawt ve a ti ah a boethae lamloh mael ham a hna te kaeng uh pawh.
But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense to strange gods.
6 Te dongah ka kosi neh ka thintoek he bo coeng tih Judah khopuei neh Jerusalem tollong te a dom coeng. Te dongah ni tahae khohnin bangla imrhong neh khopong la a poeh uh.
Therefore hath my fury been poured forth, and mine anger, and hath burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are become a desolation and a waste at this day.
7 Te dongah Israel Pathen caempuei Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui coeng. Balae tih, na hinglu te yoethae tanglue aka khuen tih Judah lakli kah huta tongpa neh camoe cahni te nangmih ham a meet kangna a paih pawt hil nangmih aka saii ham khaw namamih ni.
And now thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: Wherefore do ye commit this great evil against your own souls, that ye may cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, so as to leave yourselves no remnant?
8 Nangmih aka saii ham ni na paan uh tih na bakuep thil Egypt diklai kah pathen tloe ham na phum pah na kut dongkah bibi neh kai nan veet uh. Tedae nangmih te diklai namtom boeih kah rhunkhuennah neh kokhahnah la aka om sak ham rhung ni.
Why do ye provoke me to wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense to strange gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye are gone to dwell, so that ye may cut yourselves off, and that ye may be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
9 Judah khohmuen neh Jerusalem tollong ah a saii uh na pa rhoek kah boethae khaw, Judah manghai kah boethae neh a yuu rhoek kah boethae khaw, nangmih kah a boethae neh na yuu rhoek kah boethae te na hnilh uh nama?
Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
10 Tahae khohnin duela na ueih uh pawt tih narhih uh pawh. Nangmih mikhmuh neh na pa mikhmuh ah kam paek ka olkhueng neh ka khosing te na caeh puei uh pawh.
They have not been humbled even to this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, which I set before you, and before your fathers.
11 “Te dongah Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Judah pum te saii ham ka maelhmai nangmih taengah a thae la ka khueh coeng ne.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I set my face against you for evil, even to cut off all Judah.
12 Egypt kho la caeh ham neh bakuep pahoi ham a maelhmai aka khueh Judah kah a meet te ka khuen vetih Egypt khohmuen ah boeih khawk uh bitni. Cunghang dongah cungku uh vetih khokha ah khawk bitni. Tanoe lamloh kangham duela cunghang neh khokha neh duek uh ni. Te vaengah te thaephoeinah la, imsuep la, rhunkhuennah la kokhahnah la om uh ni.
And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed; in the land of Egypt shall they fall; by the sword and by famine shall they be consumed, from the least to the greatest; by the sword and by famine shall they die; and they shall become an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.
13 Jerusalem ka cawh bangla Egypt kho kah khosa rhoek te cunghang neh, khokha neh, duektahaw neh ka cawh ni.
For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.
14 Egypt diklai ah bakuep ham aka cet tih Judah diklai la aka mael Judah kah a meet te hlangyong neh rhaengnaeng om mahpawh. Amih loh mael ham neh khosak ham a hinglu thak mai cakhaw hlangyong rhoek bueng pawt atah mael uh mahpawh,” a ti nah.
And none shall escape or remain of the remnant of Judah which are gone into the land of Egypt, to sojourn there, and to return into the land of Judah, to which they have a desire to return, to dwell there; for none shall return but a few fugitives that escape.
15 Te vaengah pathen tloe taengah a yuu aka phum te aka ming hlang boeih neh hlangping la muep aka pai huta boeih, Egypt khohmuen Parthros kah khosa pilnam boeih loh Jeremiah te a doo uh tih,
Then all the men who knew that their wives had burned incense to strange gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, and in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying:
16 Ol he kaimih taengah BOEIPA ming neh na thui dae nang taengkah te ka hnatun uh moenih.
“As for the word which thou hast spoken to us in the name of Jehovah, we will not hearken to thee,
17 Kaimih ka lamloh ol a thoeng bangla boeih ka saii rhoe ka saii uh ni. Vaan boeinu taengah phum ham neh a taengah tuisi doeng ham om. Te vanbangla Judah khopuei rhoek neh Jerusalem tollong ah kaimih neh a pa rhoek loh, ka manghai rhoek neh ka mangpa rhoek loh ka saii uh. Te vaengah buh ka kum uh dongah a then la ka om uh tih boethae ka hmuh uh pawh.
But whatever hath gone forth from our mouth, that will we do, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then we had plenty of bread, and were prosperous, and saw no calamity.
18 Vaan boeinu taengah phum ham neh anih taengah tuisi doeng ham ka toeng uh parhi te a cungkuem dongah ka vawt uh tih cunghang neh khokha dongah ka khawk uh.
But from the time we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings to her, we have been in want of all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by famine.
19 Te vaengah kaimih loh ka hlang mueh lam nim vaan boeinu ham ka phum uh tih anih taengah tuisi ka doeng uh. A noih ham a anih ham rhaibuh ka khueh tih amah taengah tuisi ka doeng uh?” a ti uh.
And when we [[said the women]] burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink-offerings to her, did we without the knowledge of our men make cakes to worship her, and pour out drink-offerings to her?”
20 Te vaengah Jeremiah loh pilnam pum taengkah tongpa rhoek te khaw, huta rhoek te khaw, ol neh anih aka doo pilnam boeih te khaw a thui pah.
Then spake Jeremiah to all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people who had given him that answer, saying:
21 “Judah khopuei khui neh Jerusalem tollong ah na phum uh te hmueih moenih a? Nangmih neh na pa rhoek, na manghai rhoek neh na mangpa rhoek, a khohmuen kah pilnam te BOEIPA loh a thoelh tih a lungbuei loh a dueh ta.
“The incense which ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye and your fathers, your kings and your princes, and the people of the land, did not Jehovah remember it, and came it not into his mind?
22 Nangmih kah khoboe thaenah hman ah BOEIPA koep a duen uh ham a coeng moenih. Tueilaehkoi hman ah na saii uh dongah ni na khohmuen te imrhong la, imsuep la, rhunkhuennah la poeh tih tahae khohnin kah bangla khosa a om pawh.
And Jehovah could no longer bear the evil of your doings, and the abominations which ye committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant at this day.
23 Na phum uh hman ah khaw BOEIPA taengah na tholh bal pueng. BOEIPA ol te na hnatun uh pawt tih a olkhueng neh a khosing dongah khaw, a olphong dongah khaw na pongpa uh pawh. Te dongah tahae khohnin kah bangla yoethae loh nangmih n'doe,” a ti nah.
Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against Jehovah, and have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his ordinances, therefore is this evil come upon you, at this day.”
24 Te phoeiah Jeremiah loh pilnam boeih neh huta boeih te, “Egypt khohmuen kah Judah boeih, BOEIPA ol te hnatun uh.
And Jeremiah said to all the people and to all the women, Hear the word of Jehovah, all Judah, that are in the land of Egypt!
25 Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. “Namamih neh na yuu rhoek khaw na ka neh na thui tih na kut neh na khah uh. 'Vaan boeinu taengah phum ham neh anih taengah tuisi doeng ham ka caeng vanbangla ka olcaeng te ka saii rhoe ka saii ni, ' na ti uh. Na olcaeng te na thoh rhoe na thoh uh coeng tih na olcaeng bangla na saii khaw na saii uh coeng,” a ti.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Ye and your wives speak with your mouths, and fulfill with your hands; ye say, “We will keep our vows, which we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings to her”; ye will surely accomplish your vows; ye will surely perform your vows.
26 Te dongah Egypt kho kah khosa Judah pum loh BOEIPA ol he hnatun uh. BOEIPA loh, “Ka ming tanglue neh ka toemngam coeng. Egypt khohmuen tom ah ka Boeipa, hingnah Yahovah aka ti Judah hlang boeih te a ka kak neh kai ming aka khue la koep om boel saeh.
Therefore hear ye the word of Jehovah, all ye of Judah, that dwell in the land of Egypt! Behold, I swear by my great name, saith Jehovah, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, “As the Lord Jehovah liveth!”
27 Amih then sak ham pawt tih thae sak ham ka hak thil coeng ne. Te dongah Egypt kho kah Judah hlang tah boeih khawk uh vetih cunghang loh, khokha loh amih a khah ni.
Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good; and all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by famine, until there be an end of them.
28 cunghang hlangyong te Egypt kho lamloh Judah kho kah hlang sii la mael uh ni. Te vaengah Egypt kho ah bakuep ham aka pawk Judah kah a meet boeih loh amih kah neh kai kah, u ol nim aka thoeng ti khaw a ming uh bitni.
And they that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, few in number; and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand, mine or theirs.
29 Nangmih ham miknoek he BOEIPA kah olphong ni. He hmuen ah nangmih te kan cawh coeng. Te daengah ni ka ol tite nangmih taengah boethae la a pai rhoe a pai ham khaw na ming uh eh,” a ti.
And this shall be a sign to you, saith Jehovah, that I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil.
30 BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Judah manghai Zedekiah te a thunkha neh a hinglu aka toem Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar kut ah ka tloeng bangla, Egypt manghai Pharaoh Hophra te a thunkha kut neh a hinglu aka toem kut ah ka tloeng coeng ne.
Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will give Pharaoh Hophra, the king of Egypt, into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life, as I gave Zedekiah, the king of Judah, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, his enemy, that sought his life.”
