Jeremiah 17
1 Judah kah tholhnah te thi cacung neh a daek coeng. Amih lungbuei cabael dongah khaw, na hmueihtuk ki dongah lungning hmui neh a tarhit coeng.
The sin of Judah is inscribed with an iron stylus, engraved with an adamant point, on their minds and on corners of their altars where they worship.
2 A ca rhoek long pataeng a hmueihtuk neh mol sang thing hing taengkah te Asherah ni a ngaidam uh.
Even their children remember to worship at their pagan altars and Asherah poles, set up by the green trees and on the high hills,
3 Na khorhi tom kah na tholhnah dongah ka khohmuen tlang kah na khuehtawn neh na thakvoh dongkah boeih khaw na hmuensang ah maeh la ka mop ni.
on my mountain in the fields. I will hand over your wealth and all your valuable possessions as plunder, because of the sin committed on your pagan high places inside your country.
4 Nang taengah kam paek na rho te namah dongah ni na soek eh. Ming pawt khohmuen kah na thunkha rhoek taengah nang te kan thohtat sak ni. Hmai na hlae te ka thintoek ah kumhal duela ung ni.
You will have to give up the land I gave you. I will have your enemies make you their slaves in an unfamiliar country for you made my anger blaze, and it will burn forever.
5 BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Hlang dongah aka pangtung neh a ban saa aka khueh tih BOEIPA taeng lamloh a lungbuei aka phaelh hlang te thae a phoei thil coeng.
This is what the Lord says: Cursed are those who put their confidence in human beings, who trust in human strength and give up relying on the Lord.
6 Te dongah kolken kah thingkoh bangla om vetih a then ha pawk vaengah hmu mahpawh. Lungkaehlai kho kah khosoek khohaeng ah om vetih khosa mahpawh.
They will be like a shrub alone in the desert that isn't even aware when good things happen. It just goes on living in the dry desert, in a salt flat that's uninhabited.
7 BOEIPA dongah aka pangtung hlang tah a yoethen tih BOEIPA khaw anih kah pangtungnah la om.
Blessed are those who trust in the Lord, who put their confidence in him.
8 Tui taengkah a phung thing bangla om vetih a yung te sok taengla a hlak dongah rhih pawh. Kholing a pai vaengah a hmuh akhaw a hnah hingsuep la om tih khokang kum ah khaw mawn pawh. A thaih aka cuen te hul pawh.
They are like trees planted by water, sending out roots toward the stream. They don't panic when it gets hot; their leaves are always green. They don't worry during a time of drought—they go on producing fruit.
9 A cungkuem soah lungbuei loh cangngok tih rhawp coeng. Te te unim aka ming?
The mind is more deceptive than anything else—it's incurably sick! Who can possibly understand it?
10 Lungbuei aka khe BOEIPA kamah loh a kuel khaw ka loepdak tih hlang taengah a longpuei te a longpuei tarhing ah, a khoboe te a thaih tarhing ah ka paek.
But I, the Lord, see what people are thinking. I examine their minds, so I can reward them depending on their attitudes and the way they behave.
11 Varhung ni a duei pawt khaw a oii. A tiktam pawt neh khuehtawn aka dang khaw a khohnin te khohnin loengboeng vaengah a tlo-oeng pah vetih a hmailong ah aka ang la poeh ni.
Like a partridge hatching eggs it didn't lay is someone who makes a fortune by cheating others. Their riches will fly away at midday, and in the end they'll look like a fool.
12 Hmuensang kah thangpomnah ngolkhoel tah mah rhokso hmuen lamhma lamkah ni.
Our Temple is a throne of glory, raised up high from the beginning.
13 Israel kah ngaiuepnah BOEIPA nang aka hnoo boeih tah yak uh ni. Kai lamloh khoe uh tih kai lamloh aka rhoe uh tah hingnah BOEIPA thunsih tui te a hnoo uh dongah diklai ah ni a tae uh eh.
Lord, you are Israel's hope, anyone who deserts you will be disgraced. Anyone who turns their back on you will vanish like names written in the dust, for they have abandoned the Lord, the source of living water.
14 BOEIPA kai n'hoeih sak lamtah ka hoeih bitni. Kai n'khang lamtah nang kan koehnah ham ni ka daem eh.
Please heal me, Lord, and I'll be healed; save me, and I'll be saved, for you are the one I praise.
15 Amih loh kai taengah tah, “BOEIPA ol te maelae? ha pai laeh mako?” a ti uh ke.
See how they keep on saying to me, “Where is the disaster that the Lord's predicted? Is it ever going to happen?”
16 Tedae kai na hnuk aka dawn lamloh ka nong pawt dongah a rhawp khohnin khaw ka hue moenih. Na ming vanbangla ka hmuilai kah aka thoeng he na mikhmuh ah om ta.
But I haven't been in a hurry to give up being your shepherd. I haven't wanted the time of trouble to come. You know that whatever I said was said in front of you.
17 Kai ham he porhaknah la na om pawt dongah yoethae hnin ah ka hlipyingnah la na om.
Please don't be the one who terrifies me! You are my protection in the time of trouble.
18 Kai aka hloem rhoek te yahpok saeh lamtah kai n'yah sak boel saeh. Amih te rhihyawp uh saeh lamtah kai n'rhihyawp sak boel saeh. Yoethae khohnin te amih soah pai sak lamtah khaemnah rhaepnit loh amih te khaem sak saeh.
Bring shame on my persecutors, but not on me. Terrify them, but not me, Let them experience the time of trouble, and smash them to pieces.
19 BOEIPA loh kai taengah he ni a thui. Cet lamtah pilnam koca kah vongka neh Jerusalem vongka tom ah pai lah. Te lamlonh ni pilnam te a kun tih Judah manghai rhoek khaw te lamlong ni a coe.
This is what the Lord told me: Go and stand at the main gate of the city, the one used by kings of Judah, and do the same at all the other gates of Jerusalem.
20 Te dongah amih te, 'Te vongka lamloh aka thoeng Judah manghai rhoek neh Judah pum boeih, Jerusalem kah khosa rhoek boeih loh BOEIPA ol te hnatun uh,’ ti nah.
Tell them, Listen to the Lord's message, kings of Judah, and all you people of Judah and Jerusalem who come in through these gates.
21 BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Sabbath hnin ah hnorhih na phueih tih Jerusalem vongka ah na khuen pawt ham na sal rhoek te ngaithuen uh.
This is what the Lord says: Pay attention, if you value your lives! Don't carry a load on the Sabbath day, and don't bring it through the gates of Jerusalem.
22 Sabbath hnin ah na im kah hnorhih khuen uh boeh. Bitat pakhat khaw saii uh boeh. Tedae na pa rhoek ka uen bangla Sabbath hnin te ciim uh.
Don't carry a load out of your houses, and don't do any work on the Sabbath day. Keep the Sabbath day holy, just as I ordered your forefathers.
23 Tedae hnatun uh pawt tih a hna a kaeng uh moenih. A rhawn a mangkhak neh a hnatun uh pawt bueng kolla thuituennah khaw doe uh pawh.
However, they refused to listen or pay attention. Instead they were stubborn and refused to obey or accept instruction.
24 He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Kai ol he na hnatun la na hnatun atah Sabbath hnin ah he khopuei vongka longah hnorhih na pawk puei mahpawh. Sabbath hnin te ciim ham amah te vaengah bi pakhat khaw na saii mahpawh.
Listen carefully to me, says the Lord, and don't bring any load through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, and keep the Sabbath day holy, and don't do any work on it.
25 Te vaengah David kah ngolkhoel dongah aka ngol manghai rhoek neh mangpa rhoek, leng dong neh a marhang dongah aka ngol rhoek, Judah hlang kah mangpa rhoek neh Jerusalem kah khosa rhoek tah he khopuei vongka longah kun uh ni. Te vaengah he khopuei he kumhal duela pai ni.
Then kings and princes will enter through the gates of this city. They will sit on the throne of David. They will ride in chariots and on horses with their officials, accompanied by the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem, and this city will be inhabited forever.
26 Te vaengah Judah khopuei rhoek lamkah khaw, Jerusalem kaepvai lamkah khaw, Benjamin khohmuen lamkah khaw, kolrhawk lamkah khaw, tlang lamkah khaw, tuithim lamkah khaw, ha pawk uh vetih hmueihhlutnah neh hmueih khaw, khocang neh hmueihtui khaw, BOEIPA im kah uemonah la a khuen uh ni.
People will come from the towns of Judah and everywhere around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowlands the hill country, and the Negev. They will bring burnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and frankincense, and thank offerings to the Lord's Temple.
27 Tedae Sabbath hnin te ciim ham, hnorhih phueih pawt ham, Sabbath hnin ah Jerusalem vongka longah ael pawt ham kai ol he na hnatun uh pawt atah, a vongka te hmai ka hlup thil ni. Te vaengah Jerusalem kah impuei te a hlawp vetih thi voel mahpawh.
But if you refuse to listen to me and keep the Sabbath day holy by not carrying a load while entering the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will set its gates alight with a fire that can't be put out, and it will burn down Jerusalem's fortresses.
