Jeremiah 34
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, with all his army, all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem and against all its cities, saying:
Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar, angmah ih misatuh kaminawk boih, a ukhaih thungah kaom praenawk boih, prae thung ih kaminawk boih mah, Jerusalem hoi ataeng ih vangpuinawk boih to tuk naah, Angraeng khae ih lok to Jeremiah khaeah angzoh,
2 “The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Go, and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, the LORD says, “Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon and he will burn it with fire.
Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah khaeah caeh ah loe, anih khaeah, Khenah, hae vangpui hae Babylon siangpahrang ban ah ka paek han, anih mah hmai hoiah thlaek tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
3 You won’t escape out of his hand, but will surely be taken and delivered into his hand. Your eyes will see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he will speak with you mouth to mouth. You will go to Babylon.”’
Nang loe anih ih ban thung hoiah na loih mak ai, anih mah na naeh ueloe, a ban ah paek tih; Babylon siangpahrang hoi mikhmai kang tongah, lok na thui hoi tih, nang loe Babylon ah na caeh tih.
4 “Yet hear the LORD’s word, O Zedekiah king of Judah. The LORD says concerning you, ‘You won’t die by the sword.
Toe Aw Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah, Angraeng ih lok to tahngai ah; nang loe sumsen hoi na dueh mak ai, tiah na Angraeng mah thuih:
5 You will die in peace; and with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so they will make a burning for you. They will lament you, saying, “Ah Lord!” for I have spoken the word,’ says the LORD.”
nang loe kamongah ni na dueh tih; na hmaa ah kadueh nam panawk, na siangpahrangnawk hanah sak pae o ih baktih toengah, nang hanah hmuihoih na thlaek pae o tih; Oe, Angraeng! tiah na qah o haih tih; lok ka thuih boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
To pacoengah tahmaa Jeremiah mah hae loknawk hae Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah khaeah, Jerusalem ah thuih pae boih,
7 when the king of Babylon’s army was fighting against Jerusalem and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish and against Azekah; for these alone remained of the cities of Judah as fortified cities.
Babylon misatuh kaminawk mah Jerusalem hoi anghmat vangpuinawk, Lakhish, Azekah to tuk naah, Judah vangpuinawk thungah hae vangpui hnik loe anghmat kacak vangpui ah oh hoi.
8 The word came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them,
Zedekiah siangpahrang mah nihcae loihaih lok to thuih hanah, Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk boih khaeah, lokmaihaih sak pacoengah Jeremiah khaeah Angraeng ih lok to angzoh;
9 that every man should let his male servant, and every man his female servant, who is a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free, that no one should make bondservants of them, of a Jew his brother.
kami boih mah tamna ah kaom Hebru nongpa, nongpata to prawt han oh; mi mah doeh Judah kami to misong ah suek han om ai.
10 All the princes and all the people obeyed who had entered into the covenant, that everyone should let his male servant and everyone his female servant go free, that no one should make bondservants of them any more. They obeyed and let them go,
Kami boih mah tamna nongpa, tamna nongpata to misong ah patoh han om ai, prawt boih han oh boeh, tiah thuih ih lok to ukkung angraengnawk boih, kaminawk boih mah thaih o naah, paroi o moe, misong thung hoiah loih o sak.
11 but afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids whom they had let go free to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.
Toe akra ai ah poek amkhraih o let, prawt tangcae misong nongpa hoi nongpatanawk to naeh o let moe, tamna tok sak o sak let.
12 Therefore the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
To naah Angraeng ih lok Jeremiah khaeah angzoh moe,
13 “The LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying:
Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; Izip prae ah misong ah ohhaih thung hoiah nam panawk to ka hoih naah, nam panawk hoi lokmaihaih to ka sak,
14 At the end of seven years, every man of you shall release his brother who is a Hebrew, who has been sold to you, and has served you six years. You shall let him go free from you. But your fathers didn’t listen to me, and didn’t incline their ear.
saning sarihto boeng pacoengah nang khaeah zawh ih nawkamya Hebru misongnawk to prawt o boih ah; saning tarukto thung na tok ang sak pae o boeh pongah, na loih o sak han oh, tiah ka naa; toe nam panawk mah ka lok to tahngai o ai moe, naa doeh patueng o ai.
15 You had now turned, and had done that which is right in my eyes, in every man proclaiming liberty to his neighbour. You had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name;
Vaihi loe na dawn o pakhuem boeh moe, ka hmaa ah katoeng hmuen to na sak o; kami boih mah a imtaeng kami to loihsak hanah thuih o; ka hmin hoi kawk ih im thungah ka hmaa roe ah lokmaihaih na sak o:
16 but you turned and profaned my name, and every man caused his servant and every man his handmaid, whom you had let go free at their pleasure, to return. You brought them into subjection, to be to you for servants and for handmaids.’”
toe vaihi nang qoi o let moe, ka hmin to nam hnong o sak; angmacae koeh baktiah na prawt o ih, tamna nongpa hoi nongpatanawk to nam laem o sak let moe, nihcae to tamna ah maw, misong ah maw na oh o sak let.
17 Therefore the LORD says: “You have not listened to me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbour. Behold, I proclaim to you a liberty,” says the LORD, “to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine. I will make you be tossed back and forth amongst all the kingdoms of the earth.
To pongah Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih, Ka lok na tahngai o ai; nangcae loe nawkamya loihaih, na imtaeng kaminawk loihaih to na paek o ai; to pongah khenah, sumsen, kasae nathaih, khokhahaih hoiah duek hanah, loihhaih to kang paek o boeh; raihaih tongh hanah long nui prae kaminawk boih salakah kang thak o han.
18 I will give the men who have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before me when they cut the calf in two and passed between its parts:
Ka hmaa ah lokmaihaih a sak o ih baktih toengah, sah ai kaminawk loe maitaw caa to a um ah baawk o moe, moi salakah a caeh o baktih toengah ka sak han,
19 the princes of Judah, the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, the priests, and all the people of the land, who passed between the parts of the calf.
Judah ukkung angraengnawk, Jerusalem ukkung angraengnawk, tangyat mii dueh kaminawk, qaimanawk, baawk ih maitaw caa salakah lam caeh prae kaminawk boih,
20 I will even give them into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of those who seek their life. Their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals of the earth.
angmacae ih misa, nihcae hinghaih pakrong kaminawk ban ah ka paek han; nihcae ih qok loe van ih tavaanawk hoi taw ih moinawk han buh ah om tih.
21 “I will give Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes into the hands of their enemies, into the hands of those who seek their life and into the hands of the king of Babylon’s army, who has gone away from you.
Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah hoi anih ih ukkung angraengnawk loe angmacae misa, angmacae hinghaih pakrong kaminawk, nangcae khae hoi amlaem let Babylon siangpahrang misatuh kaminawk ban ah ka paek han.
22 Behold, I will command,” says the LORD, “and cause them to return to this city. They will fight against it, take it, and burn it with fire. I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.”
Khenah, nihcae to lok ka paek moe, hae vangpui thungah kang hoih let han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih; nihcae mah tuh o tih, la o ueloe, hmai hoiah thlaek o tih; Judah vangpuinawk loe kami om ai ah ka pongsak sut han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
