1 Judah siangpahrang Josiah capa Jehoiakim angraenghaih saning palito haih naah, Jeremiah mah thuih ih loknawk to Neriah capa Baruk mah caqam pongah tarik pacoengah, tahmaa Jeremiah mah Neriah capa Baruk khaeah thuih ih lok loe,

The word that Jeremiah the prophet has spoken to Baruch son of Neriah, in his writing these words on a scroll from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,

2 Aw Baruk, Israel Sithaw Angraeng mah nang khaeah thuih ih lok loe hae tiah oh;

“Thus said YHWH, God of Israel, concerning you, O Baruch:

3 kai loe khosak bing boeh! Palung ka sethaih nuiah Angraeng mah palungsethaih maeto ang thap; kai loe angpho sut boeh moe, anghakhaih roe ka tawn ai, tiah na thuih.

You have said, Woe to me, now, for YHWH has added sorrow to my pain, I have been wearied with my sighing, and I have not found rest.

4 Baruk khaeah, khenah, Angraeng mah, prae thung boih ah ka sak ih hmuen to ka phraek moe, ka thling ih hmuen doeh ka phongh han, tiah thuih, tiah ang thuihsak.

Thus you say to him, Thus said YHWH: Behold, that which I have built I am throwing down, and that which I have planted I am plucking up, even the whole land itself.

5 Nangmah hanah kalen parai hmuennawk to na pakrong han maw? Pakrong hmah; khenah, kaminawk boih amrohaih ka phaksak han; toe nang loe na caehhaih ahmuen kruekah hnuk ih tangqum baktiah na hinghaih to kang paek han, tiah ang naa, tiah a thuih pae.

And you seek for great things—do not seek, for behold, I am bringing calamity on all flesh—a declaration of YHWH—and I have given your life to you for a spoil, in all places to where you go.”
