¹It happened the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of Yahweh, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,

¹Huan, hichi a honghia, huai kum mahin, Juda kumpipa Zedekia lalpattung lam, a kum lina, kha ngana ah jawlnei Hanania, Azzur tapa Gibeon min siampute leh mipi tengteng maah, Toupa in ah, honhoupihna,

²Thus speaks Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

²Sepaihte Toupa, Israel Pathianin hichiin a chi: Babulon kumipa hakkol ka hihtanta.

³Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of Yahweh’s house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried to Babylon:

³Kum nih sung vengvengin Toupa ina belsuan Babulon kumpipa Nebukadnezzarin hiai mun akipana a laka, Babylon tana a paipih tengteng, hiai mun mahmah ah ka hontun nawn vek ding.

⁴and I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, who went to Babylon, says Yahweh; for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.

⁴Hiai mun ah Juda kumpipa Jehoiakim tapa, Jekonia leh Babulona hoh Juda sal tengteng ka pi nawn ding; Babulon kumpipa hakkol lah ka hihtan sin ngala, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi, chiin.

⁵Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people who stood in the house of Yahweh,

⁵Huan Jawlnei Jeremia in siampute leh TOUPA ina ding mipi tengteng maah jawlnei Hannania kiangah,

⁶even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: Yahweh do so; Yahweh perform your words which you have prophesied, to bring again the vessels of Yahweh’s house, and all them of the captivity, from Babylon to this place.

⁶Jawlnei Jeremia ngeiin, Amen, TOUPAN huchibangin hih ngei heh; TOUPA ina belsuante leh saltannaa mi tengteng Babulon akipan hiai muna hontun dinga na gen TOUPAN hih ngei heh.

⁷Nevertheless hear you now this word that I speak in your ears, and in the ears of all the people:

⁷Ahihhangin mipi tengteng leh nang bila ka thu gen ngaikhiain.

⁸The prophets who have been before me and before you of old prophesied against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.

⁸Kei leh nang maa niganga jawlneiten gam tampi tungah leh lalna gam thupi pite tungah kidouna te, thil hoihlou te, leh hipi thu te a gen sek uh.

⁹The prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet shall happen, then shall the prophet be known, that Yahweh has truly sent him.

⁹Jawlnei muanna thu genmi thi gen a hongtun hin chiangin, huai jawlnei pen TOUPAN a sawl ngei ahi chih aki thei mai ding, achia.

¹⁰Then Hananiah the prophet took the bar from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and broke it.

¹⁰Huan, jawlnei Hananiain hakkol, jawlnei Jeremia puak a la a, a hihtana.

¹¹Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus says Yahweh: Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon within two full years from off the neck of all the nations. The prophet Jeremiah went his way.

¹¹Huan, mipi tengteng maah Hananiain, Hichiin TOUPAN a chi: Hichibang ngeiin Babulon kumpipa Nebukadnezzar hakkol kum nih sing vengvengin namte tengteng ngawng akipan ka hihtan ding achi a. Huan, jawlnei Jeremiain a paisanta hi.

¹²Then the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the bar from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,

¹²Huan, jawlnei Hananiain jawlnei Jeremia ngawng akipan hakkol a hihtan nungin Jeremia kiangah TOUPA thi a hongtunga,

¹³Go, and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus says Yahweh: You have broken the bars of wood; but you have made in their place bars of iron.

¹³Kuan inla, Hanania kiangah hichiin vachiin, Hichiin TOUPAN a chi: Sing hakkol na hihtana, a taing sik hakkol na bawlsak jaw ahi.

¹⁴For thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: I have put a yoke of iron on 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 animals of the field also.

¹⁴Hichiin Israel Pathian, sepaihte TOUPAN a chi ngala, Babulon kumpipa Nebukadnezzar na a sep theihna ding un hiai nam tengteng sik hakkol ka po sak ding ahi: amah na a sem ding uh: gamnuaia gamsate leng amah ka pe lai ahi, chiin.

¹⁵Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah: Yahweh has not sent you; but you make this people to trust in a lie.

¹⁵Huan, Jawlnei Jeremiain jawlnei Hanania kiangah, Ngaiin, Hanania, TOUPAN nang a honsawl peuhmah kei hi: Hiai mite juau na muangsak lel ahi jaw hi.

¹⁶Therefore thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will send you away from off the surface of the earth: this year you shall die, because you have spoken rebellion against Yahweh.

¹⁶Huaijiakin hichiin TOUPAN a chi: Ngaidih, leitung akipan ka honhihmang vengveng ding: Toupa tunga helna thu na gen jiakin tukum mahmahin na si ding hi, a chi hi.Huchiin, huai kum mahin, kha sagihna ah jawlnei Hanania a sita hi.

¹⁷So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.

¹⁷Huchiin, huai kum mahin, kha sagihna ah jawlnei Hanania a sita hi.
