1Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king, instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
1Huan, Josia tapa Zedekia, Babulon kumpipa Nebukadnezzarin, Juda gam kumpipa dinga a bawl Jehoiakim tapa Konia sikin a honglalta a.
2But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, listened to the words of Yahweh, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.
2Himahleh amah leh a nasem mite leh a gama miten TOUPA thu jawlnei Jeremia kama gen a ngaikhe kei uh.
3Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now to Yahweh our God for us.
3Huan, kumpipa Zedekiain Shelemai tapa Jehukal leh Maaseia tapa siampu Zephania bel jawlnei Jeremia kiangah, Toupa ka Pathian honthum sakin, chi dingin a sawla.
4Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people; for they had not put him into prison.
4Huan, Jeremia bel mipite lakah a ututin a vak thei laia: tanna in ah lah a koih ngal kei ua.
5Pharaoh’s army had come forth out of Egypt; and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them, they broke up from Jerusalem.
5Huan, Pharo sepaih honte Aigupta akipan ahong pawt kheta ua: huan Kaldaite Jerusalem ummiten a tanchin a zak un Jerusalem a tawpsanta uhi.
6Then came the word of Yahweh to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
6Huchiin, TOUPA thu jawlnei Jeremia kiangah a hongtunga,
7Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, You shall tell the king of Judah, who sent you to me to inquire of me: Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which has come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.
7Toupa Israel Pathianin hichiin a chi: Juda kumpipa hondong dinga nou honsawl kiangah, ngai in, Pharo sepaih hon, nou honpanpih dinga hongpaite amau gam Aigupta ah a kik nawn ding uh.
8The Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city; and they shall take it, and burn it with fire.
8Kadaite bel a hong ding ua, hiai khopi a sual ding ua, ala ding ua, meiin a hal ding uh.
9Thus says Yahweh, Don’t deceive yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us; for they shall not depart.
9Kaldaiten a honpai san ngei ding uh, chiin, nou kikhem kei un, a pai sin ngal kei ua.
10For though you had struck the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yes would they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.
10Nou honsual Kaldai sepaihte tengteng bawl ek mahle uchin, alak ua miliam omsun te kiain leng amau puanin akipanin hongthouin hiai khopi meiin a hal thouthou ding uh, chiin na gen ding ahi, chiin.
11It happened that, when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,
11Huan, hichi ahia, Pharo sepaih honte lau ziaka Kaldai sepaih honten Jerusalem a paisan lai un,
12then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, in the midst of the people.
12Jeremiain mite laka a tantuan la dingin Benjamin gama lut dingin Jerusalem a pawtsana.
13When he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the guard was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he laid hold on Jeremiah the prophet, saying, You are falling away to the Chaldeans.
13Huan, Benjamin kongpi a tunin ngakmi heutu Hanania tapa Shelemia tapa a min Irija a naoma; huaiin Kaldaite kianga kipia nahi, chiin jawlnei Jeremia a naman hi.
14Then Jeremiah said, It is false; I am not falling away to the Chaldeans. But he didn’t listen to him; so Irijah laid hold on Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
14Huan, Jeremiain, Juau ahi; Kaldaite kianga ka kipe kei hi, a chi a: himahleh a ngaikhe kei a, huchiin Irijain Jeremian a mana, heutute kiangah a pia.
15The princes were angry with Jeremiah, and struck him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that the prison.
15Huan heutute Jeremia tungah a heh mahmah ua, a sat ua, laigelhmi Jonathan in ah a tangsak ua; huai lah tanna in dia a zat him uh ahi.
16When Jeremiah had come into the dungeon house, and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;
16Huan, Jeremia leinuai khuk ah a luta, ni tampi tak a om nungin kumpipa Zedekiain a sam khiaa;
17Then Zedekiah the king sent, and fetched him: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from Yahweh? Jeremiah said, There is. He said also, You shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.
17Huan, kupipan a inah simthamin a donga, a kiangah TOUPA kianga kipan thu banghiam bek a om hia? achia. Huan Jeremiain Om e, a chi a. A kiangah, Babulon kumpipa khutah matsakin na om ding, a chi lai hi.
18Moreover Jeremiah said to king Zedekiah, Wherein have I sinned against you, or against your servants, or against this people, that you have put me in prison?
18Huan, Jeremiain kumpipa Zedekia kiangah, Nang hiam na nasemmi hiam hiai mite tungah bang thil ahia ka hihkhelha na honmatsak?
19Where now are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?
19Nang kianga Babulon kumpipa nang leh hiai gam dou dingin a hongpai kei ding, chia thu genmi na jawlneite koia om ahita ua?
20Now please hear, my lord the king: please let my supplication be presented before you, that you not cause me to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
20Aw, ka pu, kumpipa ngaikhiain, ka hongen ahi, ka ngetna na sang in, ka honngen hi; laigelhmi Jonathan in ah honkiksak nawn het ken, huai lai ah ka si kha ding hi, a chi a.Huan, kumpipa Zedekiain thu a piaa, huan Jeremia bel ngakmi huang singah a tangsaka, tanghou bawlmite kongzing akipan ni tengin tanghou beu khat, khopia tanghou a om lai siah a pia ua, huchibangin Jeremia bel ngakmi huang sungah a om nilouh hi.
21Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard; and they gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city was spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
21Huan, kumpipa Zedekiain thu a piaa, huan Jeremia bel ngakmi huang singah a tangsaka, tanghou bawlmite kongzing akipan ni tengin tanghou beu khat, khopia tanghou a om lai siah a pia ua, huchibangin Jeremia bel ngakmi huang sungah a om nilouh hi.
