Jeremiah 30
1 He ol he BOEIPA taeng lamloh Jeremiah taengla ha pawk tih a thui.
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. “Nang taengah kan thui ol boeih te namah ham cabu dongah daek laeh.
“[I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [say they belong to], am telling you that you should write down everything that I have said to you.
3 BOEIPA kah olphong khohnin ha pawk coeng ke. BOEIPA loh, “Ka pilnam thongtla Israel neh Judah te ka mael puei ni. A napa rhoek taengah ka paek diklai la amih te ka mael puei vetih ka pang sak ni.
[I want you to know that] some day I will free my people, [the people of] Israel and Judah, from being slaves [in Babylon]. I will bring them back to this land that I gave to their ancestors, and this land will belong to them again. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
4 He ol he BOEIPA loh Israel kawng neh Judah kawng ni a. thui.
Yahweh gave [to me] another message concerning [the people of] Israel and Judah.
5 Thuennah ol neh birhihnah n'yaak uh vaengah ngaimongnah pawt khaw BOEIPA loh a thui tangkhuet pai.
This is what he said: “I hear people screaming because they are terrified [DOU]; there is no peace [in the land].
6 tongpa he a ca a thaang atah dawt uh lamtah so uh laeh. Balae tih hlang boeih kah a pumpu dongah caom bangla a kut ka hmuh tih a maelhmai boklep la boeih a om uh?
But think about this: Men certainly do not [RHQ] give birth to babies. Therefore, why do strong men stand there, with their faces very white/pale, with their hands pressed against their stomachs, like women who are about to give birth to babies?
7 Anunae, te khohnin tanglue aih, te bang te a om noek moenih. Jakob ham citcai tue om cakhaw a khui lamloh daem ni.
[Terrible things will soon happen]; that will be a terrible day! There has never been such a time. It will be a time when [my] Israeli people will experience great trouble, but [finally] they will be saved [from their sufferings].”
8 Te khohnin ah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong om bitni. Na rhawn dong lamkah a hnamkun te ka bawt vetih na kuelrhui te ka pat sak ni. Anih te kholong loh thohtat sak voel mahpawh.
The Commander of the armies of angels says this: “At that time [it will be as though] I will sever/cut the ropes [that are around my people], and I will free them from being (slaves/forced to do what the King of Babylon wants them to do) [MET]. People in other countries will no longer be their bosses.
9 A Pathen BOEIPA taengah tho a thueng uh vetih, a manghai David te amih ham ka thoh pah ni.
My people will [again] serve me, Yahweh, their God, and [they will serve a king who is a descendant of] King David; [they will serve the king] whom I will appoint for them.
10 Ka sal Jakob nang te rhih ngawn boeh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Israel aw rhihyawp boeh, kai loh nang te khohla lamkah neh na tiingan te a tamna khohmuen lamloh ka khang ngawn coeng ne. Jakob ha mael vaengah mong vetih, rhalthal vetih, lakueng mahpawh.
So, [you people of] Israel who serve me, do not be dismayed/worried [now], because [some day] I will bring you back from distant places; I will bring your descendants [back home] from the land to which they were exiled. [Then you] Israeli people will [again] live peacefully and safely, and there will not be any [nation] that will cause you to be terrified.
11 Nang khang ham nang taengah ka om. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Namtom boeih kah a khawknah te ka khueh coeng. Te ah te nang kan taek kan yak cakhaw nang te a khawknah la kan saii mahpawh. Tedae tiktamnah neh nang kan thuituen vetih nang te kam hmil rhoe kam hmil mahpawh.
I, Yahweh, say that I will be with you and will rescue you; I will completely destroy the nations to which I have scattered you. But I will not completely destroy you. I will punish you [for your many sins], but I will punish you [only] as severely as you deserve: I would be doing wrong if I did not punish you at all.”
12 BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. Na pocinah te rhawp coeng tih na hmasoe khaw nue coeng.
Yahweh [also] says this: “[You have (suffered very much/endured many disasters)]; [it is as though] you have a terrible wound that cannot be cured.
13 Na dumlai dongah lai aka tloek khaw tal tih, na hma dongah a saibawnnah si khaw nang hamla tal coeng.
There is no one to help you, no one to put a bandage on your wound. There is no [medicine that will] heal you.
14 Na lungnah boeih loh nang boeih n'hnilh uh tih nang te n'toem uh moenih. Thunkha kah hmasoe neh nang kang ngawn. Nang kathaesainah khaw khawk tih na tholhnah he a tahoeng coeng dongah thuituennah khaw muenying muenyang la om.
All your allies [MET] have deserted you and they do not want to help you [any more]. [It is true that] I have punished you severely, [like your] enemies would wound you, because you have committed many sins and you are very guilty.
15 Nang kathaesainah khaw khawk tih na tholhnah loh a tahoeng dongah he balae tih na pocinah neh na nganboh neh aka rhawp te na pang? Te rhoek te nang ham ni ka saii.
[Because that is true], why do you protest about my punishing you, [as though I had caused] a wound that could not be cured [RHQ]? It was necessary for me to punish you, because you had committed many sins and you were very guilty.
16 Te dongah nang aka yoop boeih te a yoop vetih na rhal boeih tah tamna la boeih cet ni. Nang aka reth te maehbuem la om vetih nang aka poelyoe boeih te maeh la ka khueh ni.
But [some day] all those who [are trying to] destroy you will be destroyed; all your enemies will be exiled [to other nations]. All those who have stolen things from you will have their [valuable] possessions stolen, and all those who attack you will be attacked.
17 Tedae nang te hoeihnah dongah kam pongpa sak vetih na hmasoe lamloh nang kang hoeih sak ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Zion te a toem pawt dongah nang te a heh la n'khue uh.
[Everyone] says that you are (outcasts/people that they no longer associate with), and that [you live in] Jerusalem, a city that no one cares about.” But Yahweh says, “I will heal your injuries/wounds and cause you to be healthy again.”
18 BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. Jakob dap kah thongtla te ka balkhong sak vetih a tolhmuen te ka haidam ni. A imrhong dongah khopuei a thoh vetih a tiktamnah ah impuei pai ni.
This is what Yahweh says: “I will bring the people of Israel back from the lands to which they were taken and enable them to possess their land and their houses again. [When that happens], Jerusalem will be rebuilt on top of its ruins, and the [king’s] palace will be rebuilt to be like it was before.
19 Uemonah neh luemnah ol te amih lamloh ha thoeng ni. Amih te ka ping sak vetih muei uh mahpawh. Amih te ka thangpom vetih muei uh mahpawh.
People will [again] sing joyfully to thank [me], and I will cause there to be more people [in Jerusalem], not fewer; I will cause them to be honored, not despised.
20 A ca rhoek he hlamat kah bangla om vetih a hlangboel loh ka mikhmuh ah cikngae ni. Te vaengah anih aka nen boeih te ka cawh ni.
Their children will [prosper] like they did before. I will cause them to be a group of people [who worship] me, and I will punish any [nation] that oppresses them.
21 Amah lamloh aka khuet te om vetih amah khui lamloh anih aka taemrhai te thoeng ni. Anih te ka yoek vetih kai taengla ha mop ni. Kai taengla mop ham a lungbuei te u long nim rhi a khang eh he? He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
One of their own people will be their king, and I will invite him to come close to me [to worship me], because no one [RHQ] would (dare/have courage) to come close to me [if I did not invite him].
22 Kai taengah pilnam la na om uh vetih kai khaw nangmih taengah Pathen la ka om ni.
You [Israeli people] will be my people, and I will be your God.”
23 BOEIPA kah hlipuei tah kosi hlipuei la ha pawk vetih halang lu aka soh te a kilkul thil ni he.
Yahweh will punish [MTY] [your enemies]; [it will be like a great] storm; it will come down [like] a whirlwind, swirling around the heads of wicked people.
24 A lungbuei kah thuepnah a saii hlan tih a thoh hlan atah BOEIPA kah thintoek thinsa te mael mahpawh. Te te hmailong khohnin ah na yakming uh bitni.
He will not stop being angry until he completely accomplishes [all] that he has planned. In the future, you will understand [all] of this [clearly].
