Jeremiah 11
1 BOEIPA taeng lamkah ol te thui hamla Jeremiah taengla ha pawk.
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 Paipi ol he hnatun lamtah Judah hlang rhoek taeng neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek taengah thui pah.
“Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
3 Amih taengah he he thui pah. ‘Paipi ol he aka hnatun pawt hlang te Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh thae a phoei thil coeng,’ a ti.
and say to them, the LORD, the God of Israel says: ‘Cursed is the man who doesn’t hear the words of this covenant,
4 Na pa rhoek Egypt diklai neh thi hmai-ulh lamloh ka khuen khohnin ah te te ka uen coeng. “Ka ol he ngai lamtah nangmih kang uen te boeih saii. Te daengah ni kamah taengah pilnam la na om uh vetih kai khaw nangmih taengah Pathen la ka om eh.
which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace,’ saying, ‘Obey my voice and do them, according to all which I command you; so you shall be my people, and I will be your God;
5 Te daengah ni na pa rhoek taengah tahae khohnin kah bangla suktui neh khoitui aka long khohmuen paek ham olhlo neh ka toemngam te ka thoh sak eh,” a ti. Te dongah ka doo tih, “Amen BOEIPA,” ka ti.
that I may establish the oath which I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey,’ as it is today.” Then I answered, and said, “Amen, LORD.”
6 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh kamah taengah, “Judah khopuei neh Jerusalem tollong ah he ol he boeih hoe lamtah amih te, ‘Paipi ol he ngai lamtah vai uh vai uh,’ ti nah.
The LORD said to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Hear the words of this covenant, and do them.
7 Na pa rhoek taengah khaw ka rhalrhing la ka rhalrhing sak. Egypt kho lamloh amih ka khuen khohnin lamkah te tahae khohnin hil pawn ni. A thoh neh ka rhalrhing sak tih, “Kai ol he hnatun,” ka ti nah.
For I earnestly protested to your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising early and protesting, saying, “Obey my voice.”
8 Tedae hnatun uh pawt tih a hna te kaeng uh pawh. A lungbuei thae thinthahnah dongah rhip pongpa uh. Te dongah paipi ol cungkuem he amih taengah ka khuen te vai hamla ka uen dae saii uh pawh,” a ti.
Yet they didn’t obey, nor turn their ear, but everyone walked in the stubbornness of their evil heart. Therefore I brought on them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they didn’t do them.’”
9 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Judah hlang lakli neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek lakli kah lairhui te a hmuh.
The LORD said to me, “A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
10 A napa rhoek kah thaesainah taengla mael uh coeng. Lamhma rhoek loh ka ol hnatun ham a aal uh. Te dongah amih tah te rhoek taengah thothueng hamla pathen tloe hnukah cet uh. Israel imkhui neh Judah imkhui loh a napa rhoek taengah ka saii ka paipi te a phae.
They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words. They have gone after other gods to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
11 Te dongah BOEIPA loh he ni a thui tangloeng. Kai taengah pang uh cakhaw a poeng thai pawt ham neh amih te ka ngai pawt ham ni amih soah yoethae ka khuen he.
Therefore the LORD says, ‘Behold, I will bring evil on them which they will not be able to escape; and they will cry to me, but I will not listen to them.
12 Te vaengah Judah khopuei neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek te cet uh vetih a pathen rhoek taengah pang uh ni. Amih taengah te a phum uh dae amih te a yoethae hnin ah tah khang khaw khang uh hae mahpawh.
Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and cry to the gods to which they offer incense, but they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
13 Judah, na khopuei tarhing ah na pathen khaw om. Jerusalem tollong tarhing ah Baal taengah phum ham yahpohnah hmueihtuk te hmueihtuk la na khueh uh.
For according to the number of your cities are your gods, Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem you have set up altars to the shameful thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal.’
14 Te dongah nang tah he pilnam ham thangthui boeh. Amih ham tamlung neh thangthuinah khaw huel boeh. Amih khue tue vaengah amih kah boethae yueng la kai taengkah te ka hnatun moenih.
“Therefore don’t pray for this people. Don’t lift up cry or prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry to me because of their trouble.
15 Tangkhuepnah muep a saii ham ka im kah ka lungnah te baham nim? Na taeng lamkah maeh cim a kan uh tih na boethae neh na sundaep.
What has my beloved to do in my house, since she has behaved lewdly with many, and the holy flesh has passed from you? When you do evil, then you rejoice.”
16 BOEIPA loh Olive thinghing neh thaihtae suisak sakthen la na ming hang khue te a kawk ol neh a taengah hmai a hlup khungdaeng vetih a hlaeng te a talh pah ni.
The LORD called your name, “A green olive tree, beautiful with goodly fruit.” With the noise of a great roar he has kindled fire on it, and its branches are broken.
17 Israel imkhui neh Judah imkhui kah boethae kong ah Nang aka phung caempuei BOEIPA loh nang hamla yoethae a thui coeng. Baal taengah amamih loh a phum te kai veet ham ni a saii uh.
For the LORD of Armies, who planted you, has pronounced evil against you, because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done to themselves in provoking me to anger by offering incense to Baal.
18 BOEIPA loh kai n'tueng tih ka ming dongah amih khoboe te kai m'hmuh sak.
The LORD gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it. Then you showed me their doings.
19 Tedae kai tah ngawn ham a khuen tuca boeimong bangla ka om. Te dongah a kopoek neh ‘A kung neh a thaih he hum uh sih lamtah amah te mulhing khohmuen lamloh saii sih. Te daengah ni a ming koep a poek pawt eh’ tila kai taengah a moeh uh te ka ming pawh.
But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter. I didn’t know that they had devised plans against me, saying, “Let’s destroy the tree with its fruit, and let’s cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.”
20 Tedae ka dumlai te namah taengla ka phoe coeng dongah kuel neh lungbuei aka loepdak tih duengnah neh lai aka tloek caempuei BOEIPA loh amih sokah na tawnlohnah te m'hmuh sak.
But, LORD of Armies, who judges righteously, who tests the heart and the mind, I will see your vengeance on them; for to you I have revealed my cause.
21 Te dongah BOEIPA loh he ni a thui pai. Na hinglu aka toem Anathoth hlang rhoek te thui pah. BOEIPA ming neh na tonghma pawt daengah ni kaimih kut ah na duek pawt eh.
“Therefore the LORD says concerning the men of Anathoth, who seek your life, saying, ‘You shall not prophesy in the LORD’s name, that you not die by our hand’—
22 Te dongah caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui tangloeng. Kai loh amih te ka cawh coeng tih tongpang rhoek te cunghang dongah duek uh ni. A ca tongpa rhoek neh a ca huta rhoek te khokha neh duek uh ni.
therefore the LORD of Armies says, ‘Behold, I will punish them. The young men will die by the sword. Their sons and their daughters will die by famine.
23 Amamih kah cawhnah kum ah Anathoth hlang rhoek soah boethae ka khuen vetih amih te a meet pataeng om mahpawh.
There will be no remnant to them, for I will bring evil on the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.’”
