< Jeremiah 28 >

1 And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,
Judah manghai Zedekiah kah ram a tongcuek, amah kum vaengkah a kum la, kum li hla nga dongah Gibeon lamkah tonghma Azzur capa Hananiah loh BOEIPA im kah khosoih rhoek neh pilnam pum kah mikhmuh ah kai m'voek tih a thui.
2 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
He tah Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA long ni a thui, “Babylon manghai hnamkun te ka bawt pah ni.
3 Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD’S house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon:
Amah kum kah khohnin ah BOEIPA im kah hnopai boeih te he hmuen la ka mael puei ni. Te te Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh he hmuen lamkah a loh tih Babylon la khuen mai cakhaw.
4 And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, that went into Babylon, saith the LORD: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
Judah manghai Jehoiakim capa Jekoniah neh Babylon la aka pawk Judah hlangsol boeih te he hmuen la ka mael puei ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Babylon manghai kah hnamkun te ka bawt bitni,” a ti.
5 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of the LORD,
Te dongah BOEIPA im kah aka pai khosoih rhoek mikhmuh neh pilnam boeih kah mikhmuh ah tonghma Jeremiah loh tonghma Hananiah te a thui pah.
6 Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the LORD do so: the LORD perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the LORD’S house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place.
Te vaengah tonghma Jeremiah loh, “Amen, BOEIPA loh saii pai saeh. Na ol te BOEIPA loh han thoh saeh. BOEIPA im kah hnopai neh vangsawn boeih te Babylon lamloh he hmuen la ha mael ham ni na tonghma coeng.
7 Nevertheless now hear thou this word that I speak in thy ears, and in the ears of all the people;
Tedae namah hna neh pilnam pum kah hna dongah ka thui ol he hnatun laeh.
8 The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.
Khosuen lamloh kai mikhmuh neh nang mikhmuh ah tonghma rhoek te ana om coeng. Diklai tom neh ram tanglue taengah caemtloek kawng neh, yoethae kawng neh duektahaw kawng neh tonghma uh.
9 The prophet who prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him.
Ngaimongnah kawng neh aka tonghma, tonghma loh tonghma ol ha thoeng vaengah BOEIPA loh oltak la a tueih tonghma te a ming bitni,” a ti nah.
10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and broke it.
Te phoeiah tonghma Hananiah loh tonghma Jeremiah rhawn dong lamkah hnokohcung te a loh tih a khaem pah.
11 And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.
Hananiah loh Pilnam boeih mikhmuh ah a thui tih, “He ni BOEIPA loh a thui. He tlam ni Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar kah hnamkun he namtom boeih rhawn dong lamloh a kum khohnin ah koep ka khaem eh,” a ti. Te phoeiah tonghma Jeremiah tah amah longpuei ah cet.
12 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Tonghma Hananiah loh tonghma Jeremiah rhawn dong lamkah hnokohcung te a khaem hnukah BOEIPA ol te Jeremiah taengla ha pawk.
13 Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron.
“Cet lamtah Hananiah te thui pah. BOEIPA loh he a thui, 'Thing hnokohcung te na khaem coeng dae thi hnokohcung te yueng la na saii ni, ' a ti,” ti nah.
14 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also.
Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar taengah thohtat ham he namtom boeih kah rhawn dongah thi hnamkun ka khueh vetih anih taengah thotat uh ni. Khohmuen mulhing pataeng anih taengla ka paek ni.
15 Then said the prophet Jeremiah to Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie.
Te phoeiah tonghma Jeremiah loh tonghma Hananiah te, “Hananiah hnatun laeh, nang te BOEIPA loh n'tueih moenih. Tedae nang loh pilnam he a honghi dongah na pangtung sak.
16 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Nang te diklai mikhmuh dong lamloh kang khoe coeng ne. BOEIPA taengah koeknah na thui dongah kum khat dongah na duek ni,” a ti nah.
17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
Te kum kah a hla rhih dongah tonghma Hananiah te duek.
