Jeremiah 7
1 Jeremiah khaeah angzo Angraeng ih lok loe hae tiah oh;
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 Angraeng im khongkha ah angdoe ah loe to ah hae lok hae taphong ah; Angraeng bok hanah hae khongkha thungah akun, nangcae Judah kaminawk boih, Angraeng ih lok hae tahngai oh.
"Stand in the gate of the LORD's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, 'Hear the word of the LORD, all you of Judah, who enter in at these gates to worship the LORD.
3 Misatuh Angraeng hoi Israel Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; Na caehhaih loklamnawk hoi na sak ih hmuennawk to pakhraih oh, to tih nahaeloe hae ahmuen ah kang oh o sak han.
Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
4 Hae loe Angraeng ih tempul ni, Angraeng ih tempul ni, Angraeng ih tempul ni, tiah amsawnlok thui kaminawk to tang hmah.
Do not trust in lying words, saying, "The LORD's temple, The LORD's temple, The LORD's temple, are these."
5 Na caeh o haih loklamnawk hoi na sak o ih hmuennawk to na pakhraih o tangtang moe, kami maeto hoi maeto katoengah lokcaek pacoengah,
For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if you thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor;
6 imtaeng kami, angvin, ampa tawn ai kami hoi lamhmainawk doeh pacaekthlaek ai, hae ahmuen ah zaehaih tawn ai kami to na hum o ai boeh moe, aimah nganbawh kana paek hanah kalah sithawnawk to na bok o ai boeh nahaeloe,
if you do not oppress the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your own hurt:
7 dungzan ah toep hanah nam panawk khaeah ka paek ih, hae ahmuen ah kang oh o sak han.
then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, from of old even forevermore.
8 Khenah, nangcae loe tidoeh avang ai, alinghaih loknawk to na tang o lat.
Look, you trust in lying words, that can't profit.
9 Na paquk o, kami na hum o, zu sava nuiah zaehaih na sak o moe, amsawnlok na thuih o, Baal khaeah hmuihoih tui na thlaek o moe, na panoek o ai ih kalah sithawnawk hnukah na bang o.
Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods that you have not known,
10 Nang zoh o moe, ka hmin hoiah kawk ih hae im hmaa ah nang doet o, Ka loih o boeh pongah, hae baktih panuet thok hmuennawk sak hanah ka zii o ai, tiah na thuih o han vop maw?
and come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, "We are delivered"; that you may do all these abominations?
11 Ka hmin hoiah kawk ih hae im loe nangcae mik ah mingcahnawk ohhaih thlungkhaw ah maw na poek o? Khenah, ka hnuk boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Look, I, even I, have seen it, says the LORD.
12 Toe vaihi hmaloe koekah ka hmin caksakhaih ahmuen, Shiloh ih ka ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh ah loe kai ih kasae Israelnawk pongah ka sak ih hmuen to khenah.
But go now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.
13 Vaihi Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih, hae baktih hmuennawk boih na sak pongah, nangcae khaeah kang thuih o, khawnthaw ah kang thawk moe, lok ka thuih, toe lok tahngaih han na koeh o ai; kang kawk o, toe nang pathim o ai,
Now, because you have done all these works, says the LORD, and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you did not hear; and I called you, but you did not answer:
14 to pongah Shiloh khaeah ka sak ih baktih toengah, ka hmin hoiah kawk ih na oep o haih ih im, nangmacae hoi nam panawk khaeah ka paek ih hae ahmuen khaeah ka sak han.
therefore I will do to the house which is called by my name, in which you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh.
15 Nam nawkamyanawk boih, Ephraim ih atiinawk boih ka haek baktih toengah, ka hmaa hoiah kang haek han.
I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brothers, all the descendants of Ephraim.
16 To pongah hae kaminawk hanah lawkthui pae hmah, nihcae hanah tahmenhaih doeh hni pae hmah; kai khaeah doeh tahmenhaih hni hmah, kang tahngai pae mak ai.
Therefore do not pray for this people, neither lift up a cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me; for I will not hear you.
17 Judah vangpuinawk hoi Jerusalem loklamnawk ah timaw a sak o, tito na hnu ai maw?
Do you not see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
18 Nawktanawk mah thing to akhuih o, ampanawk mah hmai to tik o, van siangpahrang ih zu hanah, nongpatanawk mah takaw to naep o; kai palungphuisak hanah kalah sithawnawk khaeah naek han koi tui to a paek o.
The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
19 To tiah maw kai ang pahrue o? tiah Angraeng mah thuih; angmacae mikhmai set hanah nihcae mah na ai maw kai palung ang phui o sak?
Do they provoke me to anger?" says the LORD. "Do they not provoke themselves, to the confusion of their own faces?"
20 To pongah Angraeng Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; khenah, hae ahmuen ah, kami nuiah, taw ih moi kasan nui ah, taw ih thingnawk hoi long ih thingthainawk nuiah, palungphuihaih to ka kraih han; to ih hmai mah paduek thai ai khoek to hmuennawk to kangh tih.
Therefore thus says the LORD: "Look, my anger and my wrath shall be poured out on this place, on man, and on animal, and on the trees of the field, and on the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched."
21 Misatuh Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; hmai hoi angbawnhaih to kalah hmuen tathlanghaih hoi nawnto suem oh, toe moi to loe caa oh.
Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat meat.
22 Nam panawk Izip prae thung hoi ka zaeh naah, hmai angbawnhaih hoi hmuen tathlanghaih kawng to nihcae khaeah ka thui pae ai, lok doeh ka paek ai.
For I did not speak to your fathers, nor command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
23 Toe nihcae khaeah, Ka lok tahngai oh, to tih nahaeloe nangcae ih sithaw ah ka om ueloe, nangcae doeh kai ih kami ah na om o tih; khosak na hoih o thai hanah, kang thuih o ih loklamnawk hae pazui oh, tiah ka thuih pae.
but this thing I commanded them, saying, 'Listen to my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people; and walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.'
24 Toe nihcae mah tahngai o ai, naa doeh patueng o ai; hmabang caeh o ai ah palungthahaih, poeksethaih hoiah hnukbang ah amlaem o lat.
But they did not listen nor turn their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
25 Nam panawk mah Izip prae tacawt o taak nathuem hoi kamtong vaihni ni khoek to, nangcae khaeah ka tamna tahmaanawk to kang patoeh, ni thokkruek khawnthaw ah kang thawk moe, nihcae to nangcae khaeah kang patoeh.
Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt to this day, I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them:
26 Toe nihcae mah ka lok to tahngai o ai, naa doeh patueng o ai, palung a thah o; ampanawk pongah doeh set o kue.
yet they did not listen to me, nor inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff: they did worse than their fathers."
27 To pongah nihcae khaeah hae loknawk hae na thuih pae boih; toe nihcae loe tahngai o mak ai; nihcae to na kawk, toe na pathim o mak ai.
"You shall speak all these words to them; but they will not listen to you: you shall also call to them; but they will not answer you.
28 To pongah nihcae khaeah, Nangcae loe Angraeng Sithaw ih lok tahngai ai acaeng ah na oh o, thuitaekhaih doeh na koeh o ai pongah, loktang lok loe anghmat boeh; loktang lok loe nihcae ih pakha thung hoiah tacawt boih boeh, tiah thui ah, tiah ang naa.
You shall tell them, 'This is the nation that has not listened to the voice of the LORD their God, nor received instruction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
29 Aw Jerusalem, na sam to aat ah loe vah ving ah; hmuensangnawk ah qah ah; palungphuihaih mah phak thuih ih adung kaminawk loe, Angraeng mah vah ving moe, pahnawt sut boeh.
Cut off your hair, and throw it away, and take up a lamentation on the bare heights; for the LORD has rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.'"
30 Judah kaminawk loe ka mikhnuk ah kasae hmuen to sak o boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih; ka hmin hoi kawk ih im to amhnongsak hanah, panuet thok hmuennawk to a suek o boeh.
"For the people of Judah have done that which is evil in my sight," says the LORD: "they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.
31 Ka thui ai moe, palung thungah doeh ka poek ai ih, a capanawk hoi a canunawk hmaithlaek hanah, Hinnom capa ih azawn ah Topheth hmuensang to a sak o boeh.
They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I did not command, nor did it come into my mind.
32 To pongah acoe oh, khenah, Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; kaminawk mah Topheth, tiah kawk o mak ai, Hinnom capa ih azawn, tiah doeh kawk o mak ai, kami humhaih azawn, tiah kawkhaih ani to pha tih; ahmuen kong ai khoek to, nihcae to Topheth ah aphum o tih.
Therefore look, the days come," says the LORD, "that it shall no more be called Topheth, nor The Valley of Ben Hinnom, but The Valley of Slaughter: for they shall bury in Topheth, until there is no place to bury.
33 Hae kaminawk ih qok loe, van ih tavaanawk hoi long ih moinawk hanah buh ah om tih; to ih moi kasannawk loe mi mah doeh hui mak ai.
The dead bodies of this people shall be food for the birds of the sky, and for the animals of the earth; and none shall frighten them away.
34 Judah vangpuinawk, Jerusalem loklamnawk ah oephaih lok, nawmhaih lok, zu paluemh nongpa ih lok, sava sah nongpata ih lok to ka dipsak han; prae loe angqai krang ah ni om tih boeh, tiah a thuih.
Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land shall become a waste."
