< Jeremiah 27 >

1 Judah lengpa Josiah chapa, Zedekiah lengchan kipattil in, Pakaiya kon in Jeremiah henga thu ahunglhunge.
At the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD.
2 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, ‘Nangman namkol kisem inlang, apohna ding savun khao jong kisem inlang, anngong’a pon.
This is what the LORD said to me: “Make for yourself a yoke out of leather straps and put it on your neck.
3 Chutengle, nangman Jerusalem a Zedekiah lengpa kimupi dinga hungji leng palai ho khut a, hiche Pakai thusei hohi, Edom lengpa, Moah lengpa, Ammon lengpa, Tyre leh Sidon lengte kom’a thot in.
Send word to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, and Sidon through the envoys who have come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah.
4 Hiche thuhi amaho chu penlang, amahon a lengte hou seipih uhen. Hatchungnung Pakaiyin hitin aseiye.
Give them a message from the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, to relay to their masters:
5 Kathaneina jouse leh kaban thahat pan’a, keiman leiset leh asunga mihem jouse chuleh ganhing jouse abon’a kasem ahi. Hijeh’a chu keiman kicheng se hi, koi hijongle kanop nop kapeh jeng ahi.
By My great power and outstretched arm, I made the earth and the men and beasts on the face of it, and I give it to whom I please.
6 Tua hi, keiman hiche gam pumpi hi, kasohpa Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar khut a kapeh ding, chule gamlah’a gamsa ho jong, ama kin bol’a pang dinga kapeh ahitai.
So now I have placed all these lands under the authority of My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. I have even made the beasts of the field subject to him.
7 Hitia chu, namtin vaipin ama ajendiu, achapa jong chule atupa khang geiya jopng akin bol’a pang ding ahiuve. Chujoutengle namtin vaipi thahattah ho leh leng lentah hon, ama leh agamsung chu gal’a ajouva, achunguva vai ahomdiu ahi.
All nations will serve him and his son and grandson, until the time of his own land comes; then many nations and great kings will enslave him.
8 Hijeh’a chu, nangho Babylon lengpa khut’a nakipehlut diu, ama kin bol’a napandiu ahi. Ijemtia koi nam ham khattouvin, Babylon lengpa soh’a panding da aumle, amaho chu talent kamatsah ding ahi. Keiman achung'uva gal kalhut khum ding, kel kalhah sah ding chule natna hise kalan sah ding ahi. Amaho chu Babylon lengpan asuhmang hel kahseuva, talen kamatsah ding ahiuve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
As for the nation or kingdom that does not serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and does not place its neck under his yoke, I will punish that nation by sword and famine and plague, declares the LORD, until I have destroyed it by his hand.
9 Hijeh chun themgao lhemho thusei tahsan hih un, chuleh mang Lethem ho, phunsan thenho leh doi themho thusei ngaidauvin. Ajeh chu amahon, Babylon lengpan nachunguva ima boltheiponte pou, atiuve.
But as for you, do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your interpreters of dreams, your mediums, or your sorcerers who declare, ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon.’
10 Amaho chu apumpiuva joule nal’a thusei ngen ahiuvin, amaho thusei jal a nangho nagamsung uva kon’a delmang’a naumlo teidiu ahi. Hitia chu, keiman nangho gamla tah’a kadel mang diu, chuche mun’a chu nathi dendiu ahi.
For they prophesy to you a lie that will serve to remove you from your land; I will banish you and you will perish.
11 Amavang, koi nam hijongle Babylon lengpan namkol noiya angong hindo jenga, kipelut ho vang chu, agamsung dalha louva umden diu, lou akiboluva, chengden diu ahiuve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
But the nation that will put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will leave in its own land, to cultivate it and reside in it, declares the LORD.”
12 Chuin, keiman Judah lengpa Hezekiah henga chun, Pakai thusei hijat pihi, asei tobang bang in kaga sei kitin, hitin kati. “Nahin nadin, Babylon lengpa namkol noiya nangong do cheh uvin, chule ama leh amite kin bol in panguvin.
And to Zedekiah king of Judah I spoke the same message: “Put your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon; serve him and his people, and live!
13 Ibol’a nang nahin namite ahiuvin, Pakaiyin aphondohsa Babylon lengpa kinbol nomlou mite chunga chuding – chemjam gilkel, chule natna hise hoa chu thidinga kigo jeng nahiu hitam?
Why should you and your people die by sword and famine and plague, as the LORD has decreed against any nation that does not serve the king of Babylon?
14 Themgao lhemho thusei tahsan hih un. Amahon Babylon lengpa kin boldauvin, aman ima nalothei pouvinte, atiu chu ngaidauvin. Amaho chu joule nal’a gaothu sei ngan ahiuve.
Do not listen to the words of the prophets who say, ‘You must not serve the king of Babylon,’ for they are prophesying to you a lie.
15 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Keiman hiche themgao ho hi kasol khapoi. Amahon kamin in jouthu jeng agaovun, hijeh’achu keiman hiche gamsunga kon’a hi, nangho nabonuva kadelmang ding nahiuve. Nangho jong chule na themgao hou jong, na bonchauva nathigam soh diu ahi.
For I have not sent them, declares the LORD, and yet they are prophesying falsely in My name; therefore I will banish you, and you will perish—you and the prophets who prophesy to you.”
16 Chuin keiman thempu ho leh mipiho heng’a chun, Pakai thusei chu kahil in, hitin kaseiye. Na themgao houvin, Pakai houin sunga kon’a kipodoh gou ho, hung kinung pohlut loidinga aseiyu chu, ngaidauvin. Amahon jouthu jeng aseiyu ahibouve.
Then I said to the priests and to all this people, “This is what the LORD says: Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, ‘Look, very soon now the articles from the house of the LORD will be brought back from Babylon.’ They are prophesying to you a lie.
17 Athuseiyu khu ngaipih hih un. Babylon lengpa khutnoiya kipelut uvin, chutileh nahinjoh diu ahi. Ibol a hiche khopi hi kimoh suhset jeng ding ham?
Do not listen to them. Serve the king of Babylon and live! Why should this city become a ruin?
18 Amaho chu themgao dihtah ahiuva, Pakaiya kon thupeh seiding nei ahiuleh, Hatchung nung Pakai henga taovu hen. Chule Pakai Houin sunga kidalha goulu ho, leng inpia gouho, chule Jerusalem a umden gou ho jouse, Babylon gam’a pohmanga aumlou nadia Hatchung nung Pakai heng a, taovuhen.
If they are indeed prophets and the word of the LORD is with them, let them now plead with the LORD of Hosts that the articles remaining in the house of the LORD, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, not be taken to Babylon.
19 Ajeh chu Hatchungnung Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, ‘Houin maiya inkhom ho, kisilna sum-eng kong lent ah, kangtalai ho, chuleh thil chom chom ho jouse,
For this is what the LORD of Hosts says about the pillars, the sea, the bases, and the rest of the articles that remain in this city,
20 Babylon leng Nebuchadnezzar in, Judah lengpa Jehoiakim chapa Jehoiachin chuleh Judah leh Jerusalem a vaipo milen milal ho abonchauva Babylon gam’a sohchang’a ana kaimang pet’a, ana dalhah chengse
which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take when he carried Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon, along with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem.
21 Hatchungnung Pakai, Israel Pathen in, Houin sunga goulu kidalha ho leh Judah leng inpia kidalha ho, thua hitin aseiye.
Yes, this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says about the articles that remain in the house of the LORD, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem:
22 Hiche thilho jouse hi abon’a, Babylon gam’a kipolutsoh ding, keiman kagelkhoh kahsea chukom’a umjing ding; Chujouteng le keiman kahin nungpoh kit a, hiche mun’a hi kakoi ding ahibouve, ati.
‘They will be carried to Babylon and will remain there until the day I attend to them again,’ declares the LORD. ‘Then I will bring them back and restore them to this place.’”
