< Jeremiah 34 >

1 The worde which came vnto Ieremiah from the Lord (when Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel, and all his hoste, and all the kingdomes of the earth, that were vnder the power of his hand, and all people fought against Ierusalem, and against all the cites thereof) saying,
Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar neh amah kah tatthai boeih, a kut dongkah a khohung diklai ram boeih neh pilnam boeih loh Jerusalem neh a khopuei boeih a vathoh thil vaengah BOEIPA taeng lamkah ol te Jeremiah taengla ha pawk.
2 Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, Goe, and speake to Zedekiah King of Iudah, and tell him, Thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, I will giue this citie into the hand of the King of Babel, and he shall burne it with fire,
“Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Judah manghai Zedekiah te paan lamtah thui pah. Amah taengah, “BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Khopuei he kai Babylon manghai kut dongah ka tloeng coeng tih hmai neh a hoeh ni.
3 And thou shall not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and deliuered into his hand, and thine eyes shall beholde the face of the King of Babel, and he shall speake with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babel.
Nang khaw anih kut lamloh na loeih pawt vetih n'tuuk rhoe n'tuuk ni. A kut dongla n'tloeng vaengah na mik neh Babylon manghai kah mik te hmu uh bitni. A ka neh na ka khaw cal rhoi vetih Babylon la na pawk ni.
4 Yet heare the worde of the Lord, O Zedekiah, King of Iudah: thus sayth the Lord of thee, Thou shalt not dye by the sword,
Judah manghai Zedekiah BOEIPA ol he hnatun dae. BOEIPA loh nang ham he ni a thui. cunghang ha dongah na duek mahpawh?
5 But thou shalt die in peace: and according to the burning for thy fathers the former Kings which were before thee, so shall they burne odours for thee, and they shall lament thee, saying, Oh lorde: for I haue pronounced the worde, sayth the Lord.
Ngaimong la na duek vetih hnukbuet kah manghai namah napa rhoek kah hlanhmai la na mikhmuh ah ha pawk uh ni. Nang te n'tih uh vetih, “Anunae boeipa aih,” tila nang ham rhaengsae uh ni. Ol ka thui BOEIPA olphong ni.
6 Then Ieremiah the Prophet spake all these words vnto Zedekiah King of Iudah in Ierusalem,
He ol boeih he tonghma Jeremiah loh Jerusalem kah Judah manghai Zedekiah taengah a thui.
7 (When the King of Babels hoste fought against Ierusalem, and against all the cities of Iudah, that were left, euen against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these strong cities remained of the cities of Iudah)
Babylon manghai kah tatthai te Jerusalem neh Judah khopuei boeih khuikah aka sueng Lakhish neh Azekah te a vathoh thil ni. Te rhoi te Judah khopuei rhoek khuiah hmuencak khopuei la sueng van.
8 This is the worde that came vnto Ieremiah from the Lord, after that the King Zedekiah had made a couenant with all the people, which were at Ierusalem, to proclaime libertie vnto them,
Manghai Zedekiah loh sayalhnah ham aka pang Jerusalem kah pilnam boeih neh paipi a saii phoeiah BOEIPA taeng lamkah ol te Jeremiah taengla pawk.
9 That euery man should let his seruant go free, and euery man his handmayde, which was an Ebrue or an Ebruesse, and that none should serue himselfe of them, to wit, of a Iewe his brother.
Hlang boeih loh a sal te, hlang boeih loh a sal huta te, Hebrewpa neh Hebrewnu khaw sayalh sak tih hlang loh a manuca te Judah taengah thohtat sak pawt ham pang uh.
10 Now when all the princes, and all the people which had agreed to the couenant, heard that euery one should let his seruant go free, and euery one his handmaide, and that none should serue them selues of them any more, they obeyed and let them go.
Te dongah mangpa boeih neh pilnam boeih loh a ngai uh. A salpa boeih neh a sal huta boeih te sayalh la hlah ham paipi khuiah kun uh. Amih te thohtat sak voel pawt ham a ngai uh tih a hlah uh.
11 But afterwarde they repented and caused the seruants and the handmayds, whom they had let go free, to returne, and helde them in subiection as seruants and handmayds.
Tedae a hnukah mael uh tih salpa neh sal huta te koep a lat uh. Sayalh la a tueih tangtae salpa neh sal huta te a khoh rhoela a khoh uh.
12 Therefore the worde of the Lord came vnto Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,
Te dongah BOEIPA ol he BOEIPA taeng lamloh Jeremiah taengla ha pawk tih koep a thui pah.
13 Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I made a couenant with your fathers, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of seruants, saying,
Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Na pa rhoek he Egypt kho lamkah neh sal imkhui lamloh ka doek hnin vaengah amih taengah paipi ka saii.
14 At the terme of seuen yeres let ye go, euery man his brother an Ebrewe which hath bene solde vnto thee: and when he hath serued the sixe yeres, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers obeyed me not, neither inclined their eares.
Te vaengah, ‘Na taengla han yoih a manuca Hebrew hlang tah kum rhih a cuum vaengah hlah laeh. Kum rhuk nang taengah thotat tih, namah lamloh sayalh la hlah laeh,” a ti. Tedae na poek rhoek loh kai taengkah he hnatun uh pawt tih a hna kaeng uh pawh.
15 And ye were nowe turned, and had done right in my sight in proclayming libertie, euery man to his neighbour, and ye had made a couenant before mee in the house, whereupon my Name is called.
Na mael uh khohnin vaengah tah ka mikhmuh ah a thuem la na saii uh. Hlang boeih loh a hui taengah sayalhnah doek ham kai ming neh a khue im khuikah ka mikhmuh ah paipi pataeng na saii uh.
16 But ye repented, and polluted my Name: for ye haue caused euery man his seruant, and euery man his handmayde, whom ye had set at libertie at their pleasure, to returne, and holde them in subiection to bee vnto you as seruantes and as handmaydes.
Tedae na mael uh tih kai ming he na poeih uh. Hlang boeih loh a salpa neh a sal huta te koep na lat uh. Amih hinglu te sayalh la na hlah coeng dae namamih taengah salpa neh sal huta la om sak ham amih te na khoh uh.
17 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Ye haue not obeyed mee, in proclayming freedome euery man to his brother, and euery man to his neighbour: beholde, I proclaime a libertie for you, saith the Lord, to the sworde, to the pestilence, and to the famine, and I will make you a terrour to all the kingdomes of the earth.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Nangmih khuikah hlang boeih loh a manuca ham neh a hui ham sayalhnah hoe ham akhaw kai taengkah he na hnatun moenih. Kamah loh nangmih ham sayalhnah khaw ka hoe pueng ne. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Nangmih te cunghang taengla, duektahaw taengla, khokha taengla, diklai ram tom taengah tonganah neh ngaihuetnah la kang khueh ni.
18 And I will giue those men that haue broken my couenant, and haue not kept the wordes of the couenant, which they had made before me, when they cut the calfe in twaine, and passed betweene the partes thereof:
Ka paipi aka poe hlang rhoek te ka saii pueng ni. Ka mikhmuh kah a saii bangla paipi ol te a thoh puei uh moenih. Vaitoca ni panit la a saii tih a kaekvang laklo ah a pongpa uh bangla vai uh pawh. Paipi aka poe te ngawn tah ka saii pueng ni.
19 The princes of Iudah, and the princes of Ierusalem, the Eunuches, and the Priestes, and all the people of the lande, which passed betweene the partes of the calfe,
Judah mangpa rhoek neh Jerusalem mangpa tildit rhoek khaw, khosoih rhoek neh khohmuen kah pilnam boeih khaw vaitoca kah kaekvang laklo ah pongpa uh.
20 I wil euen giue them into the hand of their enemies, and into the handes of them that seeke their life: and their dead bodies shalbe for meate vnto the foules of the heauen, and to the beastes of the earth.
Te dongah amih te a thunkha kut dongah khaw, amih kah hinglu aka toem kah kut dongah khaw ka tloeng ni. Te vaengah a rhok te vaan kah vaa ham neh diklai rhamsa ham caak la poeh ni.
21 And Zedekiah King of Iudah, and his princes will I giue into the hand of their enemies, and into the hande of them that seeke their life, and into the hande of the King of Babels hoste, which are gone vp from you.
Judah manghai Zedekiah neh a mangpa rhoek te khaw a thunkha kut dongah, a hinglu aka toem kut dongla, nangmih taeng lamloh aka nong Babylon manghai kah tatthai kut dongla ka paek ni.
22 Beholde, I will commande, saith the Lord, and cause them to returne to this citie, and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burne it with fire: and I will make the cities of Iudah desolate without an inhabitant.
Kai loh BOEIPA kah olphong ni kang uen ne. Te dongah amih te he khopuei la kam mael puei vetih a vathoh thil uh ni. Khopuei he a buem vetih hmai neh a hoeh uh vaengah Judah khopuei rhoek te khopong la ka khueh vetih khosa om mahpawh.
