1 Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar angraeng ah ohhaih saningto haih, Josiah capa Judah siangpahrang Jehoiakim angraenghaih saning palito haih naah, Judah kaminawk boih kawng pongah Jeremiah khaeah lok to angzoh,

The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah (that is, the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon),

2 to pongah tahmaa Jeremiah mah Judah kaminawk boih hoi Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk boih khaeah;

which Jeremiah the prophet spoke unto all the people of Judah and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:

3 Judah siangpahrang Amon capa Josiah angraenghaih saning hathlai thumto nathuem hoi vaihni ni khoek to, saning pumphae thumto thung, Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh, to lok to khawnthaw ah kang thawk moe, kang thuih o boeh, toe na tahngai o ai.

From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, the king of Judah, even unto this day, these three and twenty years, the word of Jehovah hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened.

4 Angraeng loe khawnthaw ah angthawk moe, a tamna tahmaanawk to nangcae khaeah ang patoeh; toe lok na tahngai pae o ai, thaih han ih naa doeh na patueng o ai.

And Jehovah hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear,

5 Nihcae mah, nangcae boih, vaihi na caeh o ih kasae loklam hoiah na sak o ih kasae hmuennawk hoiah amlaem oh ah loe, Angraeng mah nangmacae khae hoi nam panawk khaeah dungzan ah paek ih prae thungah om oh;

when they said, Turn again now every one from his evil way, and from the wickedness of your doings, and dwell in the land that Jehovah hath given unto you and to your fathers from of old even for ever.

6 kalah sithawnawk hnukah bang o hmah, a tok doeh sah pae o hmah, bok doeh bok o hmah; na ban hoiah sak ih hmuennawk hoiah kai palung na phui o sak hmah, to tih nahaeloe nganbawh kana kang paek o mak ai, tiah ang thuih o.

And go not after other gods, to serve them and to worship them; and provoke me not to anger with the work of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.

7 Toe ka lok na tahngai o ai, nam ro o hanah, nangmacae ban hoi sak ih hmuen hoiah palung nang phui o sak, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.

But ye have not hearkened unto me, saith Jehovah; that ye might provoke me to anger with the work of your hands, to your own hurt.

8 To pongah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, Ka lok na tahngai o ai pongah,

Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Because ye have not listened to my words,

9 khenah, aluek bang ih kaminawk boih hoi ka tamna Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar to ka kawk moe, hae prae hoi a thungah kaom kaminawk boih, hae kami taengah kaom kaminawk to laksak boih hanah ka patoeh han; anih mah nihcae to amrosak tih, nihcae to dawnraisak tih, hanghaih hoiah dungzan ah kang hmatsak zuep han.

behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith Jehovah, and [I will send] to Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual wastes.

10 Nihcae khae hoi anghoehaih lok, oephaih lok, zu la kami ih lok, sava sah kami ih lok, cang kaehhaih lok hoi hmaithawk paanghaih to ka lak pae ving han boeh.

And I will cause to perish from them the voice of mirth and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones and the light of the lamp.

11 Hae prae boih loe pong sut ueloe, dawnraihaih hoiah om o tih; hae kaminawk mah Babylon siangpahrang ih tok to saning qui sarihto thung sah pae o tih, tiah thuih.

And this whole land shall become a waste, an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

12 Toe saning qui sarihto koep pacoengah loe, hae kaminawk nuiah sakpazae ih hmuen pongah, Babylon siangpahrang hoi anih ih kaminawk to ka thuitaek moe, dungzan khoek to ka pongsak han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.

And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, [that] I will visit on the king of Babylon and on that nation, saith Jehovah, their iniquity, and on the land of the Chaldeans, and I will make it perpetual desolations.

13 Kaimah ka thuih ih nihcae misatukhaih loknawk boih, hae cabu thungah tahmaa Jeremiah mah tarik moe, thuih ih prae kaminawk misatukhaih loknawk to hae prae thungah ka phaksak boih han.

And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.

14 Babylon kaminawk loe pop parai, kalen parai kalah acaeng siangpahrangnawk ih misong ah om o tih; a sak o ih hmuen baktih, ban mah sak ih hmuen baktih toengah, nihcae nuiah ka sak pathok han, tiah thuih.

For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also; and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands.

15 Hae ka ban pong ih palungphuihaih misurtui boengloeng hae la ah loe, naek han kang patoeh ih prae kaminawk boih to, naesak ah.

For thus hath Jehovah the God of Israel said unto me: Take the cup of the wine of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations to whom I send thee to drink it.

16 Nihcae salakah sumsen to ka patoeh han boeh pongah, nihcae mah naek o naah paqui o ueloe, amthu o boih tih, tiah Israel Angraeng Sithaw mah ang thuih.

And they shall drink, and reel to and fro, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.

17 To pacoengah Angraeng ban pong ih boengloeng to ka lak moe, Angraeng mah kai khaeah patoeh ih prae kaminawk to ka naeksak boih:

And I took the cup at Jehovah's hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom Jehovah had sent me:

18 ka naeksak ih kaminawk loe Jerusalem hoi Judah vangpuinawk hoiah kamtong, vaihniah kaom hmuen baktiah, Judah siangpahrangnawk hoi ukkung angraengnawk loe palungsethaih, dawnraihaih, paciip paaahaih, tangoenghaih hoiah ohsak;

Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a waste, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day;

19 to pacoengah Izip siangpahrang Faro hoi a tamnanawk, anih ih angraengnawk hoi anih ih kaminawk boih;

Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;

20 to ah kaom congca kaminawk boih; Uz prae ih siangpahrangnawk boih; Philistin prae ih siangpahrangnawk boih, Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron hoi Ashdod ih kanghmat kaminawk,

and all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gazah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;

21 Edom, Moab hoi Ammon kaminawk,

Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon;

22 Tura hoi Sidon ih siangpahrangnawk boih; tuipui thung ih prae ukkung siangpahrangnawk boih,

and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles that are beyond the sea;

23 Dedan, Tema, Buz hoi kangthla koek ahmuen ah kaom kaminawk boih,

Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that have the corners [of their beard] cut off;

24 Arabia siangpahrangnawk boih, praezaek ah kaom congca kaminawk ih siangpahrangnawk boih,

and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert;

25 Zimri, Elam hoi Median ih siangpahrang boih,

and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;

26 Maeto hoi maeto kangthla maw, kanghnai maw tih ai ah, aluek bang ih siangpahrangnawk boih; long nuiah kaom long pum ih praenawk to athum o boih; nihcae naek o pacoengah, Sheshak siangpahrang doeh nae toeng tih.

and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth; and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.

27 Nihcae khaeah, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Israel Sithaw mah, Nae oh, paqui oh loe, palok oh, angthawk let han ai ah, nangcae khaeah ka patoeh han ih sumsen pongah, amtim oh, tiah thui paeh.

And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink, and be drunken, and vomit, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword that I will send among you.

28 Toe naek hanah na ban pong ih boengloeng lak han koeh o ai nahaeloe, nihcae khaeah, Na naek o han oh! tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih, tiah thui pae ah.

And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup from thy hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Ye shall certainly drink.

29 Khenah, Ka hmin hoi kawk ih vangpui nuiah amrohaih ka phaksak han, thuitaek ai ah na om o tih maw? Thuitaek ai ah na om o mak ai; long nuiah kaom kaminawk boih nuiah sumsen to ka patoeh han boeh, tiah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah thuih.

For behold, I begin to bring evil on the city that is called by my name, and should ye be altogether unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished; for I call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith Jehovah of hosts.

30 Vaihi nihcae misa haih loknawk boih to thui paeh; nihcae khaeah, Angraeng loe hmuensang hoiah hang ueloe, a ohhaih hmuenciim hoiah lok to tacawt tih; a ohhaih ahmuen to hang thui tih, kaeh ih misurtui baktiah, long nui ih kaminawk to hang thui tih.

And thou, prophesy unto them all these words, and say unto them, Jehovah will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he will mightily roar upon his dwelling-place, he will give a shout, as they that tread [the vintage], against all the inhabitants of the earth.

31 Long boeng khoek to a lok to amsong tih; Angraeng mah prae kaminawk to lokcaek boih tih, kaminawk boih lokcaek tih; kasae kaminawk to sumsen hoi hum hanah paek tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.

The noise shall come to the end of the earth: for Jehovah hath a controversy with the nations, he entereth into judgment with all flesh; as for the wicked, he will give them up to the sword, saith Jehovah.

32 Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah, Khenah, prae maeto hoi maeto ah amrohaih angcen tih; long boenghaih ahmuen hoiah kamhae takhi to song tih boeh, tiah thuih.

Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great storm shall be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth.

33 To naah Angraeng mah hum ih kaminawk loe, long boenghaih maeto hoi kalah maeto bang khoek to om tih; nihcae to qah o haih mak ai, la o mak ai, aphum doeh aphum o mak ai; maiphu baktiah ni long ah om o tih.

And the slain of Jehovah shall [be] at that day from [one] end of the earth even unto the [other] end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the face of the ground.

34 Nangcae tuutoep kaminawk, qah oh loe, hang oh; kalen koek tuu zaehoikungnawk, long ah maiphu angnok oh loe asawt oh; nangcae humhaih atue hoi ampraek phanghaih atue to phak boeh; nangcae loe atho kana laom baktiah na krah o tih.

Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves [in the dust], noble ones of the flock: for the days of your slaughter are accomplished, and I will disperse you; and ye shall fall like a precious vessel.

35 Tuutoep kaminawk loe cawnhaih ahmuen tawn o mak ai, kalen koek tuutoep kaminawk doeh loih o mak ai.

And refuge shall perish from the shepherds, and escape from the noble ones of the flock.

36 Angraeng mah nihcae prathaih ahmuen to phraek pae pongah, tuutoep kaminawk hoi kalen koek tuu zaehoikungnawk ih hanghaih lok to thaih o tih.

There shall be a voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a howling of the noble ones of the flock: for Jehovah layeth waste their pasture;

37 Kanung parai Angraeng palungphuihaih pongah, kamongah ohhaih ahmuen to phraek o boeh.

and the peaceable enclosures shall be desolated, because of the fierce anger of Jehovah.

38 Kaipui mah a ohhaih ahmuen to caehtaak baktih toengah, anih mah a ohhaih ahmuen to caehtaak boeh; kana parai ah pacaekthlaek ih kami hoi kanung parai anih palungphuihaih pongah prae loe pong sut boeh.

He hath forsaken his covert as a young lion; for their land is a desolation because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.
