< Jeremiah 11 >

1 Jeremiah khaeah angzo Angraeng ih lok loe hae tiah oh;
The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying:
2 hae lokmaihaih hae tahngai ah loe, Judah hoi Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk khaeah,
'Hear ye the words of this covenant, and ye have spoken unto the men of Judah, and unto the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
3 Israelnawk ih Angraeng Sithaw mah, a lokmaihaih pazui ai kami loe tahamsethaih tong tih,
and thou hast said unto them, Thus said Jehovah God of Israel: Cursed [is] the man who doth not obey the words of this covenant,
4 Izip prae ih sum pakawhaih hmaipalai thung hoiah ka zaeh na niah, nam panawk khaeah:
That I commanded your fathers, In the day of My bringing them out from the land of Egypt, Out of the iron furnace, saying, Hearken to My voice, and ye have done them, According to all that I command you, And ye have been to Me for a people, And I am to you for 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.
In order to establish the oath that I have sworn to your fathers, To give to them a land flowing with milk and honey, as this day. And I answer and say, 'Amen, O Jehovah.'
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.
And Jehovah saith 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 ye have done 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 certainly testified against your fathers, In the day of My bringing them up out of the land of Egypt — till this day, Rising early and testifying, saying, Hearken to 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.
And they have not hearkened nor inclined their ear, And they walk each in the stubbornness of their evil heart, And I bring on them all the words of this covenant, That I commanded to do, and they did not.'
9 To pacoengah Angraeng mah, kai khaeah, Judah hoi Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk salakah kasae sak pacaenghaih to oh.
And Jehovah saith unto me: 'A conspiracy is found in the men of Judah, And in 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 have turned back to the iniquities of their first fathers, Who refused to hear My words, And they have gone after other gods to serve them, The house of Israel, and the house of Judah, Have made void My covenant, that 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 said Jehovah: Lo, I am bringing in unto them evil, That they are not able to go out from, And they have cried unto Me, And I do 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.
And the cities of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem have gone, And they have cried unto the gods, To whom they are making perfume, And they give no deliverance at all to them, In the time of their vexation.
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 — the number of thy cities have been thy gods, O Judah, And — the number of the streets of Jerusalem Ye have placed altars to a shameful thing, Altars to make perfume to 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.
And thou, thou dost not pray for this people, Nor dost thou lift up for them cry and prayer, For I do not hearken in the time of their calling unto Me for their vexation.
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 — to My beloved in My house, Her doing wickedness with many, And the holy flesh do pass over from thee? When thou dost evil, then thou exultest.
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.
'An olive, green, fair, of goodly fruit,' Hath Jehovah called thy name, At the noise of a great tumult He hath kindled fire against it, And broken have been its thin branches.
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.
And Jehovah of Hosts, who is planting thee, Hath spoken evil concerning thee, For the evil of the house of Israel, and of the house of Judah, That they have done to themselves, To provoke Me to anger, to make perfume to Baal.
18 Angraeng mah panoek thaihaih ang paek pongah, ka panoek; to naah nihcae mah sak o ih hmuennawk to ang patuek.
And, O Jehovah, cause me to know, and I know, Then Thou hast showed 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.
And I [am] as a trained lamb brought to slaughter, And I have not known That against me they have devised devices: We destroy the tree with its food, and cut him off From the land of the living, And his name is not remembered again.
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;
And O Jehovah of Hosts, judging righteousness, Trying reins and heart, I do see Thy vengeance against them, For unto Thee I have 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 said Jehovah concerning the men of Anathoth, who are seeking thy life, saying: Do not prophesy in the name of Jehovah, And thou dost not die by our hands.
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 said Jehovah of Hosts: 'Lo, I am seeing after them, The chosen ones die by sword, Their sons and their daughters 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 they have no remnant, For I bring evil unto the men of Anathoth, The year of their inspection!'
