1Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchijah, heard the words that Jeremiah spoke to all the people, saying,
1Huan, Matan tapa Sephati leh Pashur tapa Godali leh Shelami tapa Jukal leh Malaki tapa Pashur ten, mipi tengteng kiangah Jeremiain,
2Thus says Yahweh, He who remains in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; but he who goes forth to the Chaldeans shall live, and his life shall be to him for a prey, and he shall live.
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.
3Thus says Yahweh, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it.
3TOUPAN hichiin a chi: hiai khopi Babulon kumpipa sepaih honte khutah piak ahi ngei dinga, a la ding, chia a gen a ngaikhia ua.
4Then the princes said to the king, “Please let this man be put to death; because he weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words to them: for this man doesn’t seek the welfare of this people, but the hurt.”
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.
5Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand; for the king is not he who can do anything against you.
5Huan, kumpipa Zedekiain, Ngai un, amah na khut ua om ahi: kumpipa na deihlouh lam uh hih thei ahi sama, achia.
6Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchijah the king’s son, that was in the court of the guard: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. In the dungeon there was no water, but mire; and Jeremiah sank in the mire.
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.
7Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, a eunuch, who was in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon (the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin),
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;
8Ebedmelech went forth out of the king’s house, and spoke to the king, saying,
8Ebedmelek bel kumpipa in akipan a pawta, kumpipa kiangah.
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 likely to die in the place where he is, because of the famine; for there is no more bread in the city.
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.
10Then the king commanded Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from here thirty men with you, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he dies.
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.
11So Ebedmelech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took there rags and worn-out garments, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.
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.
12Ebedmelech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, Put now these rags and worn-out garments under your armpits under the cords. Jeremiah did so.
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.
13So they drew up Jeremiah with the cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
13Huan, Jeremia bel leu nuai khuk akipan khauin a kaikhe ta ua: huan, Jeremia bel ngakmi huang sungah a om nilouh ta hi.
14Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet to him into the third entry that is in the house of Yahweh: and the king said to Jeremiah, I will ask you something. Hide nothing from me.
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.
15Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, If I declare it to you, will you not surely put me to death? and if I give you counsel, you will not listen to me.
15Huan, Jeremiain Zedekia kiangah, Honhilh leng na honhihlum mahmah kei dia hia? Thu honhasuan leng lah hon ngaikhe lou ding china, achia.
16So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, As Yahweh lives, who made us this soul, I will not put you to death, neither will I give you into the hand of these men who seek your life.
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.
17Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, Thus says Yahweh, the God of Armies, the God of Israel: If you will go forth to the king of Babylon’s princes, then your soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and you shall live, and your house.
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.
18But if you will 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 you shall not escape out of their hand.
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.
19Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews who are fallen away to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.
19Huan kumpipa Zedekiain Jeremia kiangah, Kaldai mite kianga kipia Judate khut ah a honmansakin nuihzatin a honbawl kha ding uh ka lah ahi, achia.
20But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver you. Obey, I beg you, the voice of Yahweh, in that which I speak to you: so it shall be well with you, and your soul shall live.
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.
21But if you refuse to go forth, this is the word that Yahweh has shown me:
21Kipiak na utkei lebel hiai TOUPA thu honkawkmuh ahi:
22behold, all the women who 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, Your familiar friends have set you on, and have prevailed over you. Your feet are sunk in the mire, they have turned away back.
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.
23They shall bring out all your wives and your children to the Chaldeans; and you shall not escape out of their hand, but shall be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and you shall cause this city to be burned with fire.
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.
24Then Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and you shall not die.
24Huan Zedekiain Jeremia kiangah, Hiai thute kuamahin theikei uhen, huchiin na si kei ding.
25But if the princes hear that I have talked with you, and they come to you, and tell you, Declare to us now what you have said to the king; don’t hide it from us, and we will not put you to death; also what the king said to you:
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,
26then you shall tell them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan’s house, to die there.
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.
27Then came all the princes to 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.
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.
28So Jeremiah stayed in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken.
28Huchiin Jeremia bel Jerusalem lak ni tanin ngakmi huangsung ah a om nilouh hi.
