Jeremiah 40
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all that were carried away captive of Jerusalem and Judah, who were carried away captive to Babylon.
Siangpahrang toepkung misatuh angraeng Neburazadan mah, Jeremiah to sumqui hoiah pathlet moe, Babylon misong ah kalaem Judah kaminawk hoi Jerusalem kaminawk hoiah nawnto a caeh haih; Ramah phak naah loe, Jeremiah to prawt hanah Angraeng ih lok anih khaeah angzoh;
2 And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said to him, The LORD thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place.
misatuh angraeng Nebuzaradan mah, Jeremiah to hnuk naah anih khaeah, Na Angraeng Sithaw mah hae ahmuen ah hae baktih amrohaih lok to thuih boeh.
3 Now the LORD hath brought it, and done according as he hath said: because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing is come upon you.
A thuih ih lok baktih toengah Angraeng mah vaihi koepsak boeh; nangcae loe Sithaw nuiah na zae o moe, a lok na tahngai pae o ai pongah ni, hae hmuennawk hae nangcae nuiah phak.
4 And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains which were upon thy hand. If it seemeth good to thee to come with me into Babylon, come; and I will look well to thee: but if it seemeth ill to thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land is before thee: where it seemeth good and convenient for thee to go, there go.
Toe khenah, na ban pong ih sumqui hae vaihi ka khramh han. Na koeh nahaeloe Babylon ah angzo ah, kaimah kang khetzawn han; toe Babylon ah angzoh han na koeh ai nahaeloe, angzo hmah; na hmaa ah kaom prae boih ho, khenah; nangmah hanah hoih koek tih, tiah na poek ih ahmuen to om nahaeloe, to ahmuen ah caeh ah, tiah a naa.
5 Now while he had not yet gone back, he said, Go back also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people: or go wherever it seemeth convenient to thee to go. So the captain of the guard gave him provisions and a reward, and let him go.
Jeremiah loe anih khae hoi tacawt ai naah, Nebuzaradan mah anih khaeah, Babylon siangpahrang mah Judah vangpuinawk ukkung ah suek ih, Shaphan capa Ahikam, anih ih capa Gedaliah khaeah caeh ah loe, kaminawk hoi nawnto om ah, to tih ai boeh loe nangmah hanah hoih koek tih, tiah na poek ih ahmuen ah caeh halat ah, tiah a naa. To pacoengah misatuh angraeng mah caaknaek hoi tangqum to paek moe, a caehsak.
6 Then Jeremiah went to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land.
To pongah Jeremiah loe Mizpah ah kaom, Ahikam capa Gedaliah khaeah caeh moe, anih hoi to prae ah caehtaak ih kaminawk salakah oh toeng.
7 Now when all the captains of the forces who were in the fields, even they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed to him men, and women, and children, and of the poor of the land, of them that were not carried away captive to Babylon;
Babylon siangpahrang mah Ahikam capa Gedaliah to prae ukkung ah suek moe, Babylon misong ah kalaem ai nongpa hoi nongpatanawk, nawktanawk hoi amtang kaminawk to anih khaeah paek ti, tiah taw ah kaom misatuh angraengnawk, angmacae hoi angmacae ih kaminawk boih mah thaih o naah,
8 Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
Mizpah ah Gedaliah khaeah, Nethaniah capa Ishmael, Kariah capa Johanan hoi Jonathan, Tanhumeth capa Seraiah, Ephai capa Netophath, Maakath capa Jezaniah hoi nihcae ih kaminawk to angzoh o.
9 And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan swore to them and to their men, saying, Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
Shaphan capa Ahikam, anih ih capa Gedaliah mah, Khaldian kaminawk ih toksak hanah mawn hmah, hae prae ah om ah loe, Babylon siangpahrang ih tok to sah pae oh, to tiah na sak pae o nahaeloe, khosak na hoih o tih, tiah nihcae khaeah lokmaihaih a sak.
10 As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah to serve the Chaldeans, who will come to us: but ye, gather ye wine, and summer fruits, and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that ye have taken.
Khenah, kai doeh aicae khaeah angzo han koi Khaldian kaminawk ih tok to sak pae hanah, Mizpah ah ka oh han; toe misurtui, nipui ih thingthainawk hoi situinawk to patung oh, laom thungah suem oh loe, na oh o haih vangpuinawk ah khosah oh, tiah a naa.
11 Likewise when all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and that were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan;
Moab, Ammon, Edom hoi kalah praenawk ah kaom Judah kaminawk mah, Babylon siangpahrang mah thoemto Judah kaminawk to caehtaak sut, nihcae ukkung ah Shaphan capa Ahikam, anih ih capa Gedaliah to suek boeh, tiah thaih o naah,
12 Even all the Jews returned out of all places where they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits in abundance.
Judah kaminawk boih, angmacae amhet o haih ahmuen boih hoiah Judah prae, Gedaliah ohhaih, Mizpah ah angzoh o moe, misurtui hoi nipui ih thingthainawk to patung o.
13 Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,
Kariah capa Johanan hoi taw ah kaom misatuh angraengnawk loe, Gedaliah ohhaih, Mizpah ah angzoh o boih moe,
14 And said to him, Dost thou certainly know that Baalis the king of the Ammonites hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to slay thee? But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not.
anih khaeah, Nang hum hanah, Ammon kaminawk ih siangpahrang Baalis mah Nethaniah ih capa Ishmael to patoeh, tito na panoek ai maw? tiah a naa o; toe Ahikam capa Gedaliah mah nihcae ih lok to tang pae ai.
15 Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it: why should he slay thee, that all the Jews who are gathered to thee should be scattered, and the remnant of Judah perish?
To naah Kariah capa Johanan mah, Tamquta hoi Gedaliah khaeah Mizpah ah caeh moe, Mi mah doeh panoek ai ah, Nethaniah capa Ishmael to ka hum han: Ishmael mah na hinghaih la ving nahaeloe, nang khaeah kaom Judah kaminawk boih amhet o phang tih, kanghmat Judah kaminawk anghma angtaa o mak ai maw? tiah a naa.
16 But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Johanan the son of Kareah, Thou shalt not do this thing: for thou speakest falsely of Ishmael.
Toe Ahikam capa Gedaliah mah Kariah capa Johanan khaeah, To baktih hmuen to sah hmah! Na thuih ih Ishmael kawng loe kamsoem hmuen na ai ni, tiah a naa.
