< Jeremiah 32 >

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
Judah manghai Zedekiah kah a kum, kum rha dongah BOEIPA taeng lamkah ol te Jeremiah taengla ha pawk. Te vaengah Nebukhanezar kah a kum tah kum hlai rhet lo coeng.
2 For then the king of Babylon’s army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah’s house.
Te vaengah Babylon manghai tatthai rhoek loh Jerusalem te a dum uh coeng. Tonghma Jeremiah khaw Judah manghai im kah vongup thongim ah a khoh tih om coeng.
3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Why dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;
Judah manghai Zedekiah loh, “'BOEIPA loh he khopuei he Babylon manghai kut ah ka paek coeng tih a tuuk pawn ni.
4 And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape from the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;
Tedae Judah manghai Zedekiah he Khalden kut lamloh poenghal mahpawh. Babylon manghai kut ah a paek rhoe a paek rhoe ni. Te vaengah a ka neh a ka voek uh rhoi vetih a mik rhoi khaw a mik, mik ah so uh rhoi bitni.
5 And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith the LORD: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper.
Zedekiah te Babylon loh a khuen vetih kai n'hip hlan duela pahoi om ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Khalden te na vathoh thil akhaw na thaihtak mahpawh,’ a ti,” tila thui ham nim na tonghma?” a ti nah tih a khoh.
6 And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Te vaengah Jeremiah loh, “BOEIPA ol kai taengla ha pawk tih,
7 Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thy uncle shall come to thee, saying, Buy for thee my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is thine to buy it.
“Na panoe Shallum capa Hanamel te na taengla ha pawk coeng te. Anathoth kah kai khohmuen te namah ham lai laeh. Lai ham tlannah khaw namah kah hamsum ni, ' a ti ni,” a ti.
8 So Hanameel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the LORD, and said to me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD.
BOEIPA ol bangla ka panoe capa Hanamel te kai taengah thongim vongup la ha pawk. Te phoeiah kamah te, “Benjamin khohmuen, Anathoth kah kai khohmuen te lai laeh. Rho kah hamsum khaw namah coeng tih tlannah khaw namah kah ni, namah ham lai laeh. Te dongah he tah BOEIPA ol ni tila ka ming,” a ti.
9 And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle’s son, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.
Te dongah ka panoe capa Hanamel taeng lamkah khohmuen Anathoth kah te ka lai pah. Anih ham tangka la ngun te shekel hlai rhih ka thuek pah.
10 And I signed the deed, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.
Cabu dongah khaw ka daek tih kutnoek ka daeng. Laipai te ka laipai sak phoeiah ni tangka te cooi dongah ka khiing pah.
11 So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open:
Olpaek neh oltlueh a daeng thil tih a rha, lainah cabu te ka loh.
12 And I gave the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the witnesses that signed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison.
Te phoeiah lainah cabu te ka panoe capa Hanamel mikhmuh neh lainah cabu dongah aka daek laipai kah mikhmuh neh, thongim vongup kah aka ngol Judah pum kah mikhmuh ah Maaseiah koca Neriah capa Barukh taengah ka paek.
13 And I charged Baruch before them, saying,
Barukh te amih mikhmuh ah ka uen tih,
14 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase, both that which is sealed, and this deed which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.
“He tah Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA long ni a thui. He cabu he lainah cabu la khuen laeh. Kutnoek a daeng neh a rha cabu te khaw lai am khuiah khueh. Te daengah ni kum a sen a kuei eh.
15 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.
He tah Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA long ni a thui. He diklai kah im khaw, khohmuen khaw, misur khaw koep a lai uh ni,” ka ti nah.
16 Now when I had delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD, saying,
Te phoeiah BOEIPA taengla ka thangthui tih lainah cabu te Neriah capa Barukh taengah ka paek.
17 Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and outstretched arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:
Te vaengah, “Ya-oe ka Boeipa Yahovah, namah loh vaan neh diklai he na saii ne. Na thadueng tanglue neh na ban na lam tih namah ham tah ol boeih he khobaerhambae voel moenih.
18 Thou showest lovingkindness to thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, is his name,
A thawng thawng taengah sitlohnah na saii dae pa rhoek kathaesainah te amih hnukah a ca rhoek rhang dongah khaw a thuung. Tanglue neh hlangrhalh Pathen tah a ming caempuei Yahweh ni.
19 Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thy eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:
cilsuep khaw tanglue tih na bibi khaw cungkuem pai. Na mik loh hlang ca rhoe kah longpuei boeih te a sawt tih hlang boeih te a longpuei tarhing neh a khoboe kah a thaih tarhing ah na paek.
20 Who hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even to this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and hast made thee a name, as at this day;
Egypt kho ah miknoek neh kopoekrhai khaw na khueh. Te khohnin kah te Israel khui neh hlang taengah khaw tahae khohnin kah bangla namah ming ham ni na saii.
21 And hast brought forth thy people Israel from the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror;
Na pilnam Israel te Egypt kho lamloh miknoek neh, kopoekrhai neh, tlungluen kut neh na khuen. Na ban nen khaw mueipuelnah la muep na thueng thil.
22 And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;
Suktui neh khoitui aka pha khohmuen he amih taengah paek ham a napa rhoek taengah na toemngam bangla he khohmuen he amih taengah ni na paek.
23 And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou didst command them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them:
Ha pawk uh tih he he a pang uh vaengah na ol te hnatun uh pawh. Na olkhueng te khaw na olkhueng bangla vai uh pawt tih amih taengah saii ham na uen boeih te saii uh pawh. Te dongah ni he kah yoethae cungkuem he amih taengah na thoeng sak.
24 Behold the mounts, they are come to the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest it.
Khopuei amah loh ham tanglung la ha pawk uh coeng ke. Te dongah khopuei he amah aka vathoh thil Khalden kut dongah a paek coeng. cunghang neh, khokha neh, duektahaw na thui te khaw thoeng tih na hmuh coeng he.
25 And thou hast said to me, O Lord GOD, Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Boeipa Yahovah namah loh kai taengah, “Khopuei he Khalden kut ah pae mai cakhaw khohmuen he tangka neh namah ham lai lamtah laipai te laipai sak na ti,” a ti nah.
26 Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah, saying,
Te vaengah BOEIPA ol te Jeremiah taengah ha pawk tih,
27 Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
“Kai tah pumsa boeih kah BOEIPA Pathen ni he, hno boeih he kai ham khobaerhambae a?” a ti nah.
28 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:
Te dongah BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. He khopuei he Khalden kut neh Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar kut ah ka tloeng coeng tih a khaih pawn ni he.
29 And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger.
He khopuei aka vathoh thil Khalden rhoek ha pawk uh vetih he khopuei he hmai neh a hlup ni. Te vaengah kai veet ham Baal taeng neh pathen taengah tuisi a bueih uh tih a imphu ah a phum te im neh a hoeh pah ni.
30 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done evil only before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the LORD.
Israel ca neh Judah ca khaw ana om van tih a camoe lamloh ka mikhmuh ah boethae ni a saii uh. Israel ca ngawn long khaw a kut dongkah bisai neh kai m'veet uh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
31 For this city hath been to me as a provocation of my anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even to this day; that I should remove it from before my face,
He khopuei he ka thintoek ham neh ka khosi ham khaw ka taengah om ngawn coeng. A thoong uh khohnin lamloh tahae khohnin duela ka mikhmuh lamloh a khoe rhoe coeng.
32 Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Israel ca rhoek neh Judah ca rhoek, amih kah a manghai rhoek neh a mangpa rhoek, a khosoih rhoek neh a tonghma, Judah hlang neh Jerusalem khosa loh boethae a saii boeih te kai ni m'veet uh.
33 And they have turned to me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.
Kai taengla a rhawn a koh uh tih a maelhmai then pawh. Te vaengah amih tukkil ham he a thoh neh a tukkil akhaw thuituennah doe ham a hnatun uh moenih.
34 But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.
Im ah a sarhingkoi te a khueh uh tih a poeih ham te kai ming a khue thiluh.
35 And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
A canu neh a capa te Molek taengah paan sak ham kolrhawk ah Baal hmuensang te a thoh uh. Te tueilaehkoi te saii ham amih ka uen pawt tih ka lungbuei khaw a paan moenih. Te dongah Judah he tholh rhoela tholh.
36 And now therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city, of which ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence;
Tedae he khopuei kawng tah Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh a thui tangloeng coeng he. Te ni nangmih khaw, 'Babylon manghai kut dongah cunghang neh, khokha neh, duektahaw neh a thak ni, ' a ti te.
37 Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, where I have driven them in my anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again to this place, and I will cause them to dwell in safety:
Kai loh amih te diklai pum lamkah ka coi coeng he. Ka thintoek ah, ka kosi neh ka thinhul bat ah ni te lam te amih ka heh. Tedae amih te he hmuen la kam mael puei vetih ngaikhuek la kho ka sak sak ni.
38 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
Kamah taengah pilnam la om uh vetih kai khaw amih taengah Pathen la ka om uh ni.
39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:
Te vaengah amih te lungbuei pakhat neh longpuei pakhat ni ka paek eh. Te daengah ni hnin takuem ah kai he n'rhih uh vetih amamih ham neh amih hnukkah a ca rhoek ham khaw a then eh.
40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
Amih taengah kumhal kah paipi te ka saii vetih amih taengah ka voelphoen ham khaw amih taeng lamloh ka paa mahpawh. Kai hinyahnah te amih thinko ah ka khueh daengah kai taeng lamloh a nong uh pawt eh.
41 Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
Amih taengah voelphoeng ham te amih soah ka ngaingaih ni. Amih te he khohmuen ah ka lungbuei boeih, ka hinglu boeih neh oltak dongah ka phung ni.
42 For thus saith the LORD; As I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. He pilnam soah he yoethae tanglue a cungkuem ka thoeng sak bangla amih taengah hnothen a cungkuem la ka thui te amih taengah ka thoeng sak van.
43 And fields shall be bought in this land, of which ye say, It is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
He kah kho ah khohmuen he koep a lai ni. Te ni nangmih loh, 'Hlang neh rhamsa aka om pawh khopong te Khalden kut dongah a paek,’ na ti uh.
44 Men shall buy fields for money, and sign deeds, and seal them, and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captives to return, saith the LORD.
Khohmuen te tangka neh a lai uh vetih cabu dongah daek ham neh kutnoek daeng ham khaw Jerusalem kaepvai ah, Judah khopuei ah, tlang kah khopuei ah, kolrhawk khopuei ah, tuithim khopuei ah, Benjamin kho ah laipai te a a laipai sak ni. Amih khuikah thongtla te ka mael puei ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
