¹Huan, Matan tapa Sephati leh Pashur tapa Godali leh Shelami tapa Jukal leh Malaki tapa Pashur ten, mipi tengteng kiangah Jeremiain,

¹Then Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchiah, heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken unto all the people, saying,

²TOUPAN hichiin a chi, hiai khopi a om nilouhte zaw namsau te, kial te, hipi tein a si ding ua, Kaldaite kianga kipia bel a hing ding ua, a hinna a ki humbit dinga a hing ding.

²Thus saith the LORD, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life for a prey, and shall live.

³TOUPAN hichiin a chi: hiai khopi Babulon kumpipa sepaih honte khutah piak ahi ngei dinga, a la ding, chia a gen a ngaikhia ua.

³Thus saith the LORD, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which shall take it.

⁴Huan, heututen kumpipa kiangah, Hiai mi hihlup hihen, ka hon ngen uh; aman lah a kiang ua hiai thute gen in hiai khopia galkapmi omlai te leh mipi tengteng tha a hat kei sak ngala: hiai mi in hiai mipite hoihna a zong keia, a siatna a zong zaw hi, a chi ua.

⁴Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.

⁵Huan, kumpipa Zedekiain, Ngai un, amah na khut ua om ahi: kumpipa na deihlouh lam uh hih thei ahi sama, achia.

⁵Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand: for the king is not he that can do any thing against you.

⁶Huan, Jeremia a pi ua, ngakmi huang singa om kumpipa tapa Malki lei nuai khukah a pai lut ua; Jeremkia bel khauin a khe suk ua, huai lei nuah khuk ah buannawi kia loungal tui a om keia: Jeremia bel buannawi ah a kia hi.

⁶Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire: so Jeremiah sunk in the mire.

⁷Huan, Ethopia mi, michilgeh kupipa ina om sek Ebedmelekin Jeremia lei nuai khukah a koih uh chih a naja a; huchih laiin kumpipa bel Benjamin kongpi ah a tu a;

⁷Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs which was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin;

⁸Ebedmelek bel kumpipa in akipan a pawta, kumpipa kiangah.

⁸Ebedmelech went forth out of the king's house, and spake to the king saying,

⁹Ka pu, kumpipa, hiai miten jawlnei Jeremia lei khuka a napaih khiak uh thil gilou thupi mahmah hih ahi uh, gil kial ziakin a omna munah si mai sin akei maw; khopi ah lah tanghou a om nawn ngal keia, a chi a.

⁹My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like to die for hunger in the place where he is: for there is no more bread in the city.

¹⁰Huan, kumpipan Ethopia mi Ebedmelek thu a piaa, Hiai akipanin mi sawmthum pi inla, lei nuai kokhuk akipanin a sih main jawlnei Jeremia vala khia un, chiin.

¹⁰Then the king commanded Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die.

¹¹Huchiin Ebedmelekin mite a pi a, kumpipa dangka in nuaiah a lut ua, puannak lui paihte leh puansilh siate a lakhia ua, lei nuai khuk ah Jeremia kiangah khauin a khaikhe suk uh.

¹¹So Ebedmelech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence old cast clouts and old rotten rags, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.

¹²Huan, Ethopiami Ebedmelek in Jeremia kiangah, Hiai puanak luite leh puansilh siate na leinuaiah khauin gak khumin a chi a. Huan, Jeremiaiin huchibangin a hih hi.

¹²And Ebedmelech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now these old cast clouts and rotten rags under thine armholes under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.

¹³Huan, Jeremia bel leu nuai khuk akipan khauin a kaikhe ta ua: huan, Jeremia bel ngakmi huang sungah a om nilouh ta hi.

¹³So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.

¹⁴Huan, kumpipa Zedekiain Jeremia a sama, TOUPA ina lutna thumna ah a kiangah pi luta: huan, kumpipan Jeremia kiangah, Thil ka hon dong ding; ka lakah bangmah im ken, a chi a.

¹⁴Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that is in the house of the LORD: and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing; hide nothing from me.

¹⁵Huan, Jeremiain Zedekia kiangah, Honhilh leng na honhihlum mahmah kei dia hia? Thu honhasuan leng lah hon ngaikhe lou ding china, achia.

¹⁵Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, wilt thou not hearken unto me?

¹⁶Huan kumpipa Zedekiain Jeremia kiangah, TOUPA hiai ka hinna bawlpa a hina a hin sung teng ka hon hihlum kei hial ding, na hinna zong mite khut ah leng nang ka honpe sam kei ding, chiin a simin a kichiam hi.

¹⁶So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As the LORD liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life.

¹⁷Huchiin Jeremiain Zedekia kiangah, TOUPA, sepaihte Pathian, Israel Pathianin hichiin a chi Babulon kumpipa heutute kiangah na kipiak leh na hinna na bitsak dinga, hiai khopi leng a kang kei ding, nang leh na inkote leng na hing ding uh.

¹⁷Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; If thou wilt assuredly go forth unto the king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thine house:

¹⁸Babulon kumpipa heutute kianga na kipiak kei lebel hiai khopi Kaldai khuta piak ahidinga, a hal ding ua, a khut ua kipan na suakta het kei ding, a chi a.

¹⁸But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their hand.

¹⁹Huan kumpipa Zedekiain Jeremia kiangah, Kaldai mite kianga kipia Judate khut ah a honmansakin nuihzatin a honbawl kha ding uh ka lah ahi, achia.

¹⁹And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that are fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.

²⁰Jeremiain bel, a hon mansak kei ding uh; na kianga ka gen TOUPA aw mang maiin. Huchiin nang a din ahoih dinga hin leng na hing ding.

²⁰But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver thee. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of the LORD, which I speak unto thee: so it shall be well unto thee, and thy soul shall live.

²¹Kipiak na utkei lebel hiai TOUPA thu honkawkmuh ahi:

²¹But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word that the LORD hath shewed me:

²²Ngaiin, Juda kumpipa ina numei omlaite tengteng Babulon kumpipa heutute kiangah piin a om ding ua, huai numeiten, Na lawm hoih hoihten a honkhem ua, a honzouta ua, na khe buannawia a tum takin a honlehngatsan ua, a chi ding uh.

²²And, behold, all the women that are left in the king of Judah's house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon's princes, and those women shall say, Thy friends have set thee on, and have prevailed against thee: thy feet are sunk in the mire, and they are turned away back.

²³Na jite, na tanute Kaldai mite kiangah a pi vek ding ua, a khut ua kipan na suakta kei dinga, Babulon kumpipa khuta matin na omzo dinga, nang jiakin hiai khopi a kang ding a chi hi.

²³So they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the Chaldeans: and thou shalt not escape out of their hand, but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and thou shalt cause this city to be burned with fire.

²⁴Huan Zedekiain Jeremia kiangah, Hiai thute kuamahin theikei uhen, huchiin na si kei ding.

²⁴Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die.

²⁵Himahleh heututen ka honhoupih a jak ua, na kianga a hong ua, na kianga, Kumpipa kianga na gen honhilhin; ka lak uah bangmah im ken la, konthat kei ding uh; na kianga kumpipa thugente leng, a chih uleh,

²⁵But if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king, hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king said unto thee:

²⁶Nang a kiang uah, Jonathan ina honkiksak loua, huailaia vasi lou dingin kumpipa kiangah ngetna ka pe lut leh ahi, na chi ding hi, achia.

²⁶Then thou shalt say unto them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there.

²⁷Huan, heutu tengtengin Jeremia kianga a hongpai un, a dongta ngei ua, kumpipan thu a piak tengteng bangin amau a hilh hi. Huchiin a kihoupih un a tawp ua; a thu lah theih phak ahi ngal keia.Huchiin Jeremia bel Jerusalem lak ni tanin ngakmi huangsung ah a om nilouh hi.

²⁷Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah, and asked him: and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived.

²⁸Huchiin Jeremia bel Jerusalem lak ni tanin ngakmi huangsung ah a om nilouh hi.

²⁸So Jeremiah abode in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken: and he was there when Jerusalem was taken.
