Jeremiah 8
1 Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; to naah loe Judah siangpahrangnawk ih ahuh, ukkung angraengnawk ih ahuh, qaimanawk ih ahuh, tahmaanawk ih ahuh, Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk ih ahuhnawk to taprong thung hoiah taprok o ueloe,
At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:
2 Nihcae mah palung moe, a toksak pae o ih a hnukah bang o moe, lok a dueng o pacoengah, a bok o ih, ni, khrah, van ih cakaehnawk boih hmaa ah pazaek o tih; to ahuhnawk loe tapop o mak ai, aphum doeh aphum o mak ai; long kahoih sakhaih aek baktiah ni om o tih.
And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
3 Nihcae ka haekhaih ahmuen kruekah kanghmat, acaeng kasae kaminawk mah, hing pongah loe duek to qoih han koeh o kue tih, tiah misatuh Angraeng mah thuih.
And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.
4 Angraeng mah, Amthaek kami loe angthawk let na ai maw? Lam amkhraeng kami doeh, amlaem let na ai maw? tiah thuih, tiah nihcae khaeah thui paeh.
Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?
5 Tipongah hae kaminawk loe hnuk angqoi o ving loe? Tikhoe Jerusalem loe hnukbang ah angqoi poe loe? Nihcae mah alinghaih to kacakah patawnh o pongah, amlaem let han koeh o ai boeh.
Why [then] is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
6 Ka tahngaih het naah, nihcae loe loktang lok to thui o ai; a sak o ih zaehaih pongah mi doeh dawnpakhuem o ai, timaw ka sak? tiah a thuih o lat; misatuk naah kacawn hrang baktiah, angmacae hmabang ah a cawnh o boih.
I hearkened and heard, [but] they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.
7 Ue, van ih tui tavaa mataeng doeh angmah ih atue to panoek; pahuunawk, paritcanawk, pungpaenawk mah doeh angmacae angpuenhaih atue to panoek o; toe kai ih kaminawk loe Angraeng lokcaekhaih to panoek o ai.
Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.
8 Kaicae loe palungha kami ah ka oh o, Angraeng ih lok kaicae khaeah oh, tiah kawbangmaw na thui o thai tih? Khenah, ca tarik kaminawk ih amsawnlok tarikhaih cacung mah loe amsawnlok ni tarik boeh.
How do ye say, We [are] wise, and the law of the LORD [is] with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he [it; ] the pen of the scribes [is] in vain.
9 Palungha kaminawk loe azathaih phawh o boeh, tasoeh o moe, naeh o boeh; khenah, Angraeng ih lok to pahnawt o ving boeh loe, nihcae mah kawbaktih palunghahaih to maw tawn o vop tih?
The wise [men] are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom [is] in them?
10 To pongah a zunawk to minawk khaeah ka paek pae han, nihcae ih lawk to toep hanah minawk khaeah ka paek han; kathoeng kalen tih ai kami boih uthaih palungthin a tawnh o, tahmaa hoi qaima mah doeh alinghaih hoiah ni toksak o.
Therefore will I give their wives unto others, [and] their fields to them that shall inherit [them: ] for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
11 Monghaih om ai to mah, monghaih, monghaih, tiah thuih o, kai kaminawk ih ahma loe nung parai ai, tiah a thuih o.
For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when [there is] no peace.
12 Panuet kaom hmuen to a sak o naah, nihcae mah azathaih tawnh o maw? Azat o ai, nihcae loe azathaih roe tawn o ai, mikhmai mataeng doeh sae o ai; to pongah nihcae loe kadueh kaminawk salakah dueh o tih; nihcae ka thuitaek naah loe nihcae to atlim ah pakhrah o tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
13 Nihcae to kam rosak han, tiah Agnraeng mah thuih; misurkung pongah misurthaih om mak ai, thaiduetkung pongah thaiduet thaih om mak ai, aqam doeh zai boih tih boeh; nihcae khaeah ka paek ih hmuennawk to ka lak pae let han.
I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: [there shall be] no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and [the things that] I have given them shall pass away from them.
14 Tipongah hae ah anghnut o sut loe? Nawnto amkhueng oh, kacak sipae vangpuinawk thungah akun o si loe, to ah om o duem si; Angraeng nuiah a zae o boeh pongah, aicae Angraeng Sithaw mah aicae ang ohsak duem moe, kakhaa tui hoi abaeh ih tui to ang naek o sak boeh.
Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
15 Monghaih to a zing o, toe hoihhaih angzo ai; ngantuihaih to a zing o, toe khenah raihaih to oh lat.
We looked for peace, but no good [came; and] for a time of health, and behold trouble!
16 Anih ih hrang hnah hroekhaih atuen loe Dan prae hoiah ang thaih; anih ih thacak hrang tae anghahhaih tuen mah prae boih tasoehsak; nihcae loe angzoh o moe, prae hoi athung ah kaom hmuennawk, vangpui hoi athung ah kaom kaminawk boih to paro o.
The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.
17 Khenah, nangcae salakah pahui to kang patoeh han, kawbang doeh sah thai ai, pahui sae mah nangcae to patuk boih tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which [will] not [be] charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.
18 Palungset pathloepkung, kai takoh thung ih palungthin loe zaisut boeh.
[When] I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart [is] faint in me.
19 Angthla parai prae hoiah kai kaminawk ih canu qahhaih lok to tahngai ah; Zion ah Angraeng om ai maw? Anih thungah siangpahrang om ai maw? Tipongah sakcop ih krangnawk, kalah prae kaminawk ih krangnawk hoiah kai palung ang phui o sak loe?
Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: [Is] not the LORD in Zion? [is] not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, [and] with strange vanities?
20 Athaih pakhrikhaih atue laemh boeh, nipui tue doeh boeng boeh, toe aicae loe pahlong ah a om o ai vop.
The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
21 Kai kami ih canu to nganbawh kana hak pongah, kai doeh nganbawh kana ka hak toeng; kai loe palungset moe, dawnraihaih hoiah ka oh.
For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me.
22 Gilead ah ngantuihaih thing tasi om ai maw? To ah siboi om ai maw? Tipongah kai kaminawk ih canu loe ngantui ai ah oh vop loe?
[Is there] no balm in Gilead; [is there] no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
