Jeremiah 20
1 Jeremiah mah thuih ih hmuennawk to thaih naah, Angraeng ih im ukkung, Immer capa qaima Pashur mah,
And when Pashhur son of Immer, the priest, who also was deputy-overseer in the house of Yahweh, heard that Jeremiah had prophesied these things,
2 tahmaa Jeremiah to tabaeng moe, thlongthuk pacoengah Angraeng im taeng ih Benjamin khongkha aluek bangah a suek.
then Pashhur smote Jeremiah the prophet, —and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of Yahweh.
3 Khawnbang ah loe Pashur mah Jeremiah to prawt. To naah Jeremiah mah, Angraeng mah nang hae Pashur, tiah kawk ai, Magor-missa-bib, tiah ang kawk, tiah a naa.
And it came to pass on the morrow, when Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks, —that Jeremiah said unto him—Not Pashhur, hath Yahweh called thy name, But Magor-missaviv["Terror-round-about"].
4 Angraeng mah, Khenah, nangmah hoi nam puinawk boih khaeah zit kaom hmuen kang phaksak han; nihcae loe angmacae misa ih sumsen hoiah na hmaa ah dueh o tih; Judah kaminawk to Babylon siangpahrang ban ah ka paek boih han, anih mah nihcae to Babylon ah misong ah hoi o ueloe, sumsen hoiah hum o tih, tiah thuih.
For, Thus, saith Yahweh—Behold me! making thee a ["magor" i. e. a] terror to thyself and to all who love thee, and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, thine own eyes also, beholding, And all Judah, will I deliver into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will carry them captive to Babylon and smite them with the sword.
5 Hae vangpui thacakhaih hoi hmuenmaenawk boih, atho kana hmuenmaenawk boih, Judah siangpahrang ih tacongnawk loe nihcae misa ban ah ka paek boih han, nihcae mah lomh o ueloe, Babylon ah phaw o boih tih.
And I will deliver up—All the wealth of this city, and All her labour, and All her precious things, —And all the treasures of the kings of Judah, will I deliver up into the hands of their enemies, and they will make of them a prey, and take them, and carry them into Babylon.
6 Nang, Pashur hoi na imthung takoh kamianwk loe misong ah na laem o boih tih; na thuih ih amsawnlok tahngai kaminawk loe nam puinawk hoi nawnto Babylon ah na caeh o boih tih; to vangpui ah na dueh o ueloe, to ah aphum o tih, tiah a naa.
And, thou, Pashhur and all who are dwelling in thy house, shall go into captivity, —Yea into Babylon, shalt thou enter And there, shalt thou die And there, shalt thou be buried Thou and all who love thee, to whom thou hast prophesied falsely.
7 Aw Angraeng, kai hae nang ling, kai loe aling ih kami ah ka oh; nang loe kai pongah tha na cak moe, nang payawk boeh; ni thokkruek kaminawk mah kai kasae ang thuih o, kami boih mah kai ang pahnuih o thuih boeh.
Thou didst persuade me, O Yahweh and I was persuaded, Thou didst lay firm hold on me and didst prevail, —I am become a mockery, all the day, Every one, is laughing at me.
8 Lok ka thuih kruek, athii longhaih hoi amrohaih lok to ni ka thuih; to tiah Angraeng ih lok to ka thuih pongah, ni thokkruek kai kasae thuihaih hoi pahnui thuihaih to oh.
For, as often as I speak, I make outcry, Violence and wasting, I proclaim, —Yea the word of Yahweh hath become to me a reproach and derision all the day
9 To pongah, kawbaktih atue naah maw loe anih kawng to ka thui mak ai, anih ih ahmin doeh ka thui mak ai boeh, tiah poekhaih ka tawnh. Toe anih ih lok loe ka huhnawk thungah kraeng khak ih hmai kamngaeh baktiah oh pongah, ka khaang thai ai moe, pauep doeh ka pauep thai ai.
Therefore I say—I will not mention him Neither will I speak any more in his name, But then it becometh in my heart as a fire that burneth, Shut up in my bones, —And I am weary of restraint and cannot refrain.
10 Kami ahminset paraihaih to ka thaih, ahmuen kruekah zit kaom hmuen to oh. Kaminawk mah kaicae khaeah, tamthang na thui oh, minawk khaeah ka thuih pae o patoeng han, tiah thuih o. Kam puinawk mah kai amthaekhaih to zing o, anih loe aling thai tih hmang, aling pazawk pacoengah, a nuiah lu la si, tiah a thuih o.
Because I have heard the whispering of many—"A terror round about!" Tell ye [say they], that we may tell of him, All the men I am wont to salute do watch for my halting, —Peradventure he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail over him, and take our vengeance upon him.
11 Toe Angraeng loe kai khaeah thacak misatuh kami baktiah oh; to pongah kai pacaekthlaek kaminawk mah na pazawk o mak ai, nihcae loe azathaih tong o tih; nihcae loe khosak hoih o mak ai; pahnet thai ai azathaih to tong o tih.
But, Yahweh, is with me, as a mighty one striking terror, For this cause, shall my persecutors stumble and not prevail, —They have turned very pale, For they have not prospered, Confusion age-abiding, it shall not be forgotten!
12 Katoeng kaminawk tanoekkung, kami poekhaih panoekkung, Aw misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, nihcae nuiah lu na lakhaih to na hnusak ah, kai kawng hoi kasaeng hmuen loe nang khaeah kang tathlang boeh.
But O Yahweh of hosts—Testing the righteous Beholding the affections and the heart, —Let me see thine avenging upon them, For unto thee, have I laid bare my cause.
13 Angraeng khaeah laa to sah oh, Angraeng to pakoeh oh; anih mah amtang kaminawk hinghaih to kahoih ai hmuen sah kaminawk ban thung hoiah loisak boeh.
Sing ye to Yahweh! Praise ye Yahweh! For he hath delivered the soul of the needy, out of the hand of evildoers.
14 Ka tapenhaih ani loe tangoenghaih ah om nasoe! Kam no mah ang tapenhaih ani loe tahamhoihhaih om hmah nasoe!
Accursed, be the day on which I was born, —The day when my mother bare me, let it not be blessed!
15 Kam pa khaeah, nang loe caa nongpa na sak boeh; tiah kam pa palung anghoe han thui kami loe, tahamsethaih tong nasoe.
Accursed, be the man who carried tidings to my father saying, There is born to thee a man-child!
16 To kami loe Angraeng mah tahmenhaih tawn ai ah, phraek ih vangpui baktiah om nasoe; akhawnbang ah qahhaih lok hoi athun naah misatuk pahruekhaih lok to thaih nasoe;
Making him very glad: Yea let that man be—as the cities which Yahweh overthrew and repented not, —And let him hear An outcry in the morning, and A war-shout at broad noon!
17 kam no loe kai ih taprong ah oh hanah, anih mah kam no ih zokthung ah na hum ai; kam no hoi nawnto a zok thungah oh poe hanah, na hum halat nahaeloe hoih han to mah!
Because I was not slain from the womb, —Nor did my mother become my grave, Nor was her womb great for ever!
18 Tipongah khosak raihaih hoi palungsethaih to tong moe, azathaih hoi ka hinghaih boeng hanah zokthung hoiah ka tapen?
Wherefore was it—That from the womb, I came forth, to see labour and pain; and That in shame should my days be consumed!
