< Jeremiah 11 >
1 Jeremiah khaeah angzo Angraeng ih lok loe hae tiah oh;
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 hae lokmaihaih hae tahngai ah loe, Judah hoi Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk khaeah,
Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
3 Israelnawk ih Angraeng Sithaw mah, a lokmaihaih pazui ai kami loe tahamsethaih tong tih,
And say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Cursed [be] the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant,
4 Izip prae ih sum pakawhaih hmaipalai thung hoiah ka zaeh na niah, nam panawk khaeah:
Which I commanded your fathers in the day [that] I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God:
5 Ka lok hae tahngai oh, ka thuih ih lok baktiah sah oh, to tiah nahaeloe kai ih kami ah na om o ueloe, kai doeh nangcae ih Sithaw ah ka om tih. Vaihniah na toep o ih, tahnutui hoi khoitui longhaih prae to paek hanah, nam panawk khaeah lokkamhaih to ka koepsak han, tiah a thuih tiah, thui pae han ang naa. To naah kai mah, Aw Angraeng, to tiah om nasoe, tiah ka naa.
That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as [it is] this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O LORD.
6 Angraeng mah kai khaeah, Hae loknawk hae Judah vangpuinawk hoi Jerusalem ah kaom loklamnawk boih ah, Hae lokmaihaih loknawk hae tahngai oh loe, pazui oh, tiah thui ah, tiah ang naa.
Then the LORD said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them.
7 Izip prae hoiah nam panawk ka zaehhoihaih ni hoi kamtong vaihni ni khoek to, khawnthaw ah kang thawk moe, Ka lok hae tahngai oh, tiah acoehaih lok to ka thuih pae.
For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day [that] I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, [even] unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.
8 Toe nihcae mah tahngai o ai, naa doeh patueng o ai; angmacae kasae poekhaih palung mah thuih ih lok baktiah a caeh o lat; to pongah pazui hanah nihcae khaeah ka paek e, nihcae mah pazui o ai ih hae lokmaihaih loknawk boih nihcae nuiah ka kraksak han, tiah a thuih.
Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded [them] to do; but they did [them] not.
9 To pacoengah Angraeng mah, kai khaeah, Judah hoi Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk salakah kasae sak pacaenghaih to oh.
And the LORD said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
10 Kai ih loknawk tahngai koeh ai kaminawk loe, ampanawk sakpazaehaih bangah angqoi o boih let boeh; kalah sithawnawk ih toksak hanah hnukah bang o; Israel imthung takoh hoi Judah imthung takoh mah nihcae ampanawk hoiah ka sak ih lokmaihaih to phraek o boeh, tiah thuih.
They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
11 To pongah Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Khenah, nihcae nuiah amrohaih ka phaksak han, nihcae loe loih o thai mak ai; nihcae mah kai khaeah hang o cadoeh, nihcae ih lok to ka tahngai pae mak ai.
Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.
12 Judah vangpuinawk hoi Jerusalem ih kaminawk loe caeh o ueloe, hmuihoih thlaek o ih sithawnawk khaeah hang o tih; toe nihcae raihaih tong naah pahlong thai mak ai.
Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
13 Aw Judah, nangcae ih sithaw loe nangmacae ih vangpuinawk zetto pop o; Jerusalem ih lampuinawk zetto kaom Baal sithawnawk khaeah hmuihoih thlaek hanah, azat thok hmuen ah kaom, hmaicamnawk to na sak.
For [according to] the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and [according to] the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to [that] shameful thing, [even] altars to burn incense unto Baal.
14 Jeremiah, to kaminawk hanah lawkthui pae hmah loe, tahmen hnikhaih hoiah doeh ban payangh pae hmah, raihaih tongh o moe, kai na kawk o cadoeh ka tahngai pae mak ai.
Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear [them] in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.
15 Ka palung ih kami loe pop parai kaminawk hoiah zaehaih sak pongah, anih loe ka im thungah timaw sah tih? Moi tathlanghaih mah nang danpaekhaih to loisak tih maw? Kahoih ai hmuen na sak naah mataeng doeh, poek kanawm ah na oh thaih.
What hath my beloved to do in mine house, [seeing] she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.
16 Angraeng mah, Kranghoih, athaih kahoih, kahing olive thing, tiah na hmin to kawk; toe na tanghangnawk loe katuen parai ah angkhaeh moe, hmai thlaek hanah kami to ka patoeh boeh.
The LORD called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, [and] of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.
17 Israel imthung takoh hoi Judah imthung takoh loe Baal khaeah hmuihoih to thlaek o moe, kai palungphuisak hanah angmacae sethaih to a sak o pongah, nang kathling kami, misatuh Angraeng mah na nuiah amrohaih phaksak hanah lok takroek boeh.
For the LORD of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal.
18 Angraeng mah panoek thaihaih ang paek pongah, ka panoek; to naah nihcae mah sak o ih hmuennawk to ang patuek.
And the LORD hath given me knowledge [of it], and I know [it: ] then thou shewedst me their doings.
19 Kai loe hum han suek ih tuinom kahoih tuucaa baktiah ka oh; nihcae mah anih ih ahmin anghmatsak hanah, akung hoi athaih nawnto pakhruh o si loe, kahing kaminawk ih prae thung hoiah tamit si, tiah kai hum hanah pacaeng o ih hmuen to ka panoek ai.
But I [was] like a lamb [or] an ox [that] is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, [saying], Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.
20 Toe, kaimah hae nang khaeah kang tathlang boeh, katoengah lokcaekkung, poekhaih palungthin khenkung, Aw misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, nihcae nuiah lu na lakhaih to na hnusak ah;
But, O LORD of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I revealed my cause.
21 to pacoengah Angraeng Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih: Jeremiah, na hinghaih pakrong, Anathoth kaminawk mah, Kaicae ban hoi na duek han ai ah, Angraeng ih ahmin to thui hmah lai ah, tiah thuih o:
Therefore thus saith the LORD of the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD, that thou die not by our hand:
22 to pongah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Khenah, nihcae to ka thuitaek han; thendoengnawk loe sumsen hoiah dueh o tih; nihcae ih capa hoi canunawk doeh khokhahaih hoiah dueh o tih:
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine:
23 Maeto doeh anghmat o mak ai; nihcae thuitaekhaih saning ah, Anathoth kaminawk nuiah amrohaih ka phaksak han, tiah a thuih.
And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, [even] the year of their visitation.
