Jeremiah 30
1 Jeremiah khaeah angzo Angraeng ih lok loe,
This is the message that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:
2 Angraeng Israel Sithaw mah, Kang thuih ih loknawk boih cabu thungah tarik hanah, ang thuih.
This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Write down in a book everything I've told you.
3 Khenah, kaimah ih kami Israel hoi Judah to misong angtanghaih thung hoiah ka hoih lethaih atue to pha tih; nihcae to ampanawk khaeah ka paek ih prae ah kam laemsak let han, nihcae mah to prae to toep o tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
Look, the time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will bring back my people Israel and Judah from captivity, declares the Lord. I will bring them back to the country I gave to their forefathers, and they will own it again.
4 Israel hoi Judah kawng pongah Angraeng mah hae tiah lokthuih.
This what the Lord said about Israel and Judah.
5 Angraeng mah, Tasoeh takuenhaih hoi zithaih lok to ka thaih; monghaih om ai, tiah thuih.
This is what the Lord says: Hear the cries of panic, cries of fear, not peace.
6 Nongpa loe caa tapen vai maw? Dueng o noek ah! Khenah, tipongah nihcae loe nongpata ca tapen tom nathuem ih baktiah, kaeng nuiah ban to koeng o moe, athii om ai baktiah mikhmai anglung o rawk loe?
Think about it! Can men give birth? No. So why do I see every man holding his stomach with his hands like a woman in labor. Why is every face white as a sheet?
7 To ani loe kawkruk maw len tih! Tih hoiah doeh patah thai mak ai; to atue loe Jakob raihaih atue ah oh; toe anih loe to raihaih thung hoi pahlong ah om tih.
What a terrible day it will be—a day like never before! This is the time of trouble for Jacob's descendants, but they will be rescued from it.
8 To niah loe na tahnong ih hnam to kang khaeh pae moe, ang pathlethaih sumquinawk doeh ka taprawt pae boih han; kalah prae kaminawk mah nihcae to natuek naah doeh misong ah patoh o mak ai boeh.
On that day, declares the Lord Almighty, I will break the yoke from their necks and tear off their chains. Foreigners won't make them slaves anymore.
9 Toe nihcae loe angmacae Angraeng Sithaw ih tok, nihcae ka paek han ih angmacae siangpahrang David ih tok to sah pae o tih.
They will serve the Lord their God, and their king, David's descendant whom I will give them.
10 To pongah ka tamna, Aw Jakob, zii hmah; Aw Israel, tasoeh hmah, tiah Angraeng mah thuih; khenah, angthla parai prae, na caanawk misong ah oh o haih prae hoiah kang pahlong o han hmang; Jakob loe amlaem let ueloe, mawnhaih tawn ai, kamongah om tih, mi mah doeh pazih mak ai boeh.
As far as you're concerned, my servant Jacob, don't be afraid, declares the Lord, Israel, don't be discouraged. I promise to save you from your distant places of exile, your descendants from the countries where they're being held captive. The descendants of Jacob will go home to a quiet and comfortable life, free from any threats.
11 Nang to pahlong hanah nang hoi nawnto ka oh; nangcae kam hetsakhaih prae kaminawk to kang hmatsak boih boeh, toe nangcae loe kang hmaasak mak ai; toe nangcae loe thuitaek angaihaih baktiah kang thuitaek o han, thuitaek ai ah kang prawt o sut mak ai, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
I am with you and I will save you, declares the Lord. Even though I'm going to completely destroy all the nations where I scattered you, I won't completely destroy you. However, I will discipline you as you deserve, and you can be sure I won't leave you unpunished.
12 Angraeng mah, Na hmaa loe hoih thai ai, na hmaa loe nung parai, tiah thuih.
This is what the Lord says: You have a wound that cannot be healed, you have a terrible injury.
13 Na hmaa to hoih thai hanah, hnikung mi doeh om ai; na hoihhaih tasi om ai.
There's no one to take care of your case, no cure for your sores, no healing for you.
14 Nam puinawk mah, ang pahnet o boih boeh; tidoeh na poek o ai boeh; na zaehaih loe pop hmoek moe, na sakpazaehaih len hmoek boeh pongah, misa mah boh baktiah kang boh; kami kasae thuitaek baktiah kang thuitaek.
All your lovers have forgotten about you; they don't bother looking for you anymore, because I have beaten you as if I were your enemy, the discipline of a cruel person, because of how wicked you are, because of your many sins.
15 Tipongah kana ahmaa pongah na qah loe? Na sakpazaehaih to len hmoek moe, na zaehaih pop hmoek pongah, hae hmuennawk hae na nuiah ka sak.
Why are you crying over your wound? You pain can't be cured. I did this to you because of how wicked you are, because of your many sins.
16 Toe nang paaeh kaminawk loe paaeh ah om toeng tih; na misanawk loe misong ah laem o boih tih; nang naeh kaminawk loe naeh ah om toeng ueloe, nang amrosak kaminawk doeh amrosak toeng tih.
Even so, everyone who destroys you will be destroyed. All your enemies, every last one, will be sent into exile. Those who plundered you will be plundered, and all who robbed you will be robbed.
17 Minawk mah, Vah sut ih kami, mi mah doeh khetzawn ai ih Zion, tiah thui o cadoeh, ngan kang tui o sak moe, na hmaanawk kang hoisak let han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
But I will give you back your health and heal your wounds, declares the Lord, because people say you've been abandoned and that no one cares about you, Zion.
18 Angraeng mah, Khenah, misong ah kalaem Jakob ih kahni imnawk to ka zaeh let moe, a ohhaih ahmuen nuiah tahmenhaih ka tawnh let han; vangpui doeh amrohaih ahmuen hoiah sak let ah om ueloe, siangpahrang im doeh angmah ih ahmuen ah angdoe let tih, tiah thuih.
This is what the Lord says: I will bring Jacob's descendants back to their homes and have mercy on their families. The city will be rebuilt on top of its ruins, and the palace once again stand where it should.
19 Nihcae khae hoiah kawnhaih laa lok hoi anghoehaih laa loknawk to angzo tih; nihcae loe tamsi mak ai, kang pungsak han; patoekhaih om mak ai, pakoehhaih ah ka phaksak han.
People will be singing songs of thanks, the sounds of celebration. I will increase their number—they will not become less. I will honor them—they will not be treated as insignificant.
20 A caanawk doeh canghnii ih baktiah om o tih, kaminawk to ka hmaa ah ka caksak moe, nihcae pacaekthlaek kaminawk to ka thuitaek han.
Their children will be looked after like they used to be. I will make their nation strong again, and punish anyone who attacks them.
21 Angmacae acaeng thung ih kami to nihcae zaehoikung ah om tih, nihcae ukkungnawk doeh angmacae thung ih kami ah ni om tih; anih han ka taengah anghnai ah, tiah ka thuih naah, ka taengah anghnai tih; mi mah maw angmah koeh ah kai khaeah anghnai vaih? tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
Their leader will be from their own country, their ruler will be chosen from among them. I will invite him to come close to me, and he will do so, for would anyone dare to approach me without being asked? declares the Lord.
22 To pongah nangcae loe kai ih kami ah na om o tih, kai doeh nangcae ih Sithaw ah ka oh han.
You will be my people, and I will be your God.
23 Khenah, Angraeng ih takhi kamhae loe palungphuihaih hoiah song, takhi loe ham parai, kasae kaminawk ih lu nuiah tha hoiah song tih.
Watch out! The Lord has sent out a furious storm, a tornado swirling around the heads of the wicked.
24 Palung thungah ka poek ih sak han koi hmuen to ka sak han, koep ai karoek to Angraeng palungphuihaih to azuk let mak ai; hmabangah hae baktih hmuennawk hae na panoek o tih.
The Lord's anger won't fade until he's finished doing everything he wants. Only then will you really understand.
