Jeremiah 10
1 Israel imkhui nangmih taengah BOEIPA loh a thui olka te ya uh.
Hear you the word of the Lord, which he has spoken to you, O house of Israel.
2 BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. Namtom kah longpuei te awt uh boel lamtah vaan miknoek nen khaw rhihyawp uh boeh. Te lamlong ni namtom rhoek khaw a rhihyawp uh.
Thus says the Lord, Learn you not the ways of the heathen, and be not alarmed at the signs of the sky; for they are alarmed at them, [falling] on their faces.
3 A honghi pilnam kah khosing dongah he duup lamkah thing ni kutthai kut kah bibi loh tubael neh a saii ngawn.
For the customs of the nations are vain; it is a tree cut out of the forest, the work of the carpenter, or a molten image.
4 ngun neh, sui neh a sawtthen sak tih, thicung neh thilung neh a khing dongah lol voel pawh.
[They are] beautified with silver and gold, they fix them with hammers and nails;
5 Te te uitang lo kah vatai bangla om tih cal thai pawh. A kan uh thai pawt dongah a koh la a koh uh. Te te rhih uh boeh. Thaehuet uh thai pawt tih a voelphoeng ham khaw a om uh moenih.
they will set them up that they may not move; it is wrought silver, they will not walk, it is forged silver They must certainly be borne, for they can’t ride [of themselves]. Fear them not; for they can’t do any evil, and there is no good in them.
6 BOEIPA namah bang moenih. Namah tah na len tih na ming khaw, thayung thamal dongah tanglue pai.
7 Namtom kah manghai namah aka rhih pawt te unim? Namtom hlangcueih boeih khuikah khaw na taengah naep ngawn tih a ram pum ah namah bang a om moenih.
8 Pakhat la dom uh thae tih a hong thing kah thuituennah dongah ang uh.
9 Tarshish lamkah cak ben hang khuen tih Uphaz lamkah sui khaw kutthai kah a bibi mai ni. Te boeih te aka picai kah kut long ni hlangcueih kah bibi bangla a pueinak te a thim neh daidi neh a loeih pah.
10 Tedae BOEIPA amah he oltak Pathen, mulhing Pathen neh kumhal manghai ni. A thinhul dongah diklai hinghuen tih a kosi te namtom loh ueh pawh.
11 Amih pathen rhoek taengah khaw he tlam he thui uh. Amih loh vaan neh diklai a saii pawt dongah te rhoek tah diklai lamkah neh vaan hmui lamloh hmata uh ni.
Thus shall you say to them, Let the gods which have not made heaven and earth perish from off the earth, and from under this sky.
12 A thadueng neh diklai a saii, a cueihnah neh lunglai a thoh tih a lungcuei neh vaan khaw a dih.
It is the Lord that made the earth by his strength, who set up the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the sky,
13 Vaan kah tui len khaw a ol a paek tih diklai khobawt lamkah khoboei khaw a pongpa sak. Diklai te rhaek neh khotlan a saii pah tih a thakvoh lamloh khohli a thoeng sak.
and set abundance of waters in the sky, and brought up clouds from the ends of the earth; he made lightnings for the rain, and brought forth light out of his treasures.
14 Hlang boeih he mingnah dongah rhawm coeng tih aka picai boeih khaw mueithuk dongah koh coeng. A muei hong neh a khuiah hil om pawh.
Every man is deprived of knowledge, every goldsmith is confounded because of his graven images; for he has cast false gods, there is no breath in them.
15 Amih ahonghi neh a hohap kah khoboe tah amamih kah cawhnah tue vaengah milh bitni.
They are vain works, wrought in mockery; in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
16 Jakob kah hamsum tah he bang moenih. Amah kah rho la Israel koca boeih aka hlinsai tah a ming khaw caempuei BOEIPA ni.
Such is not the portion of Jacob; for he that formed all things, he is his inheritance; the Lord is his name.
17 Vongup ah aka om, aka om loh na hnocun te diklai lamloh coi uh laeh.
He has gathered your substance from without the lodged in choice [vessels].
18 BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. Tahae ah diklai khosa rhoek te voeikhat la ka dong coeng he. Amih soah ka daengdaeh daengah ni a. hmuh uh eh.
For thus says the Lord, Behold, I [will] overthrow the inhabitants of this land with affliction, that your plague may be discovered.
19 Anunae kai aih he, ka pocinah dongah ka hmasoe khaw nue coeng. Tedae tloh he ka phuei mai eh ka ti coeng.
Alas for your ruin! your plague is grievous: and I said, Surely this is your wound, and it has overtaken you.
20 Ka dap khaw a rhoelrhak tih ka liva khaw boeih pat. Ka ca rhoek khaw kai lamloh coe uh tih om uh pawh. Ka dap aka tuk tih ka himbaiyan aka thoh khaw om voel pawh.
Your tabernacle is in a ruinous state, it has perished; and all your curtains have been torn asunder: my children and my cattle are no more: there is no more any place for my tabernacle, [nor] place for my curtains.
21 Boiva aka dawn khaw a dom coeng tih BOEIPA te toem uh pawh. Te dongah ni cangbam uh pawt tih a rhamtlim khaw boeih a taekyak pah.
For the shepherds have become foolish, and have not sought the Lord; therefore the whole pasture has failed, and [the sheep] have been scattered.
22 Tlangpuei khohmuen lamkah hinghuennah puei loh Judah khopuei te khopong kah pongui khuirhung la khueh ham olthang ol ha pawk coeng ke.
Behold, there comes a sound of a noise, and a great earthquake from the land of the north, to make the cities of Juda a desolation, and a resting-place for ostriches.
23 BOEIPA aw, a longpuei te hlang kah pawt tih hlang dongah a pongpa kolla a khokan a rhoekbah te khaw ka ming.
I know, O Lord, that man's way is not his own; neither shall a man go, and direct his going.
24 Aw BOEIPA kai he tiktamnah nen mah n'thuituen lamtah na thintoek nen boel saeh. Kai nan hnop ve.
Chasten us, O Lord, but with judgment; and not in wrath, lest you make us few.
25 Nang aka ming pawh namtom so neh na ming aka phoei pawt cako soah na kosi te hawk mai. Jakob te a yoop la a yoop uh coeng. Te dongah amah te a khah uh tih a tolkhoeng te a pong sakuh.
Pour out your wrath upon the nations that have not known you, and upon the families that have not called upon your name: for they have devoured Jacob, and consumed him, and have made his pasture desolate.
