< Jeremiah 33 >
1 BOEIPA ol tah Jeremiah taengah a pabae la pawk. Te vaengah amah te thongim vongup ah a khoh pueng.
And the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah, the second time, when he was yet imprisoned in the guard-court, saying:
2 BOEIPA loh he a thui. BOEIPA loh hno a saii tih cikngae sak ham a hlinsai. A ming he BOEIPA ni.
Thus, saith Yahweh, who doeth it, —Yahweh, who fashioneth it to establish it, Yahweh, is his name:
3 Kai he n'khue lamtah nang kan doo bitni. Nang taengah a len neh a cakrhuet la na ming pawt te khaw ka puen bitni.
Call unto me that I may answer thee, —and tell thee things great and inaccessible, which thou hast not known.
4 Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh tanglung neh cunghang dongah a voeih he khopuei kah im kawng neh Judah manghai im kawng he khaw a thui.
For, Thus, saith Yahweh God of Israel, Concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, —which are thrown down against the earthworks and against the sword:
5 Khalden te vathoh thil ham neh hlang rhok te amih hah sak ham ha pawk coeng. Ka thintoek neh ka kosi ah ka ngawn ni. Amih kah boethae cungkuem ah he khopuei lamloh ka maelhmai ka thuh ni.
In entering to fight with the Chaldeans, it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have smitten in mine anger and in mine indignation, —and because of whom I have hidden my face from this city, —by reason of all their wickedness.
6 A taengah sadingnah neh hoeihnah ka khuen coeng he. Te dongah amih te ka hoeih sak vetih ngaimongnah neh oltak khobuhnah te amih taengah ka poelyoe sak ni.
Behold me! laying upon her a bandage of healing, so will I heal them, —And will reveal to them abundance of prosperity and truth;
7 Judah thongtla rhoek neh Israel thongtla rhoek te ka mael puei vetih amih te lamhma kah bangla ka thoh ni.
And I will bring back Them of the captivity of Judah, and Them of the captivity of Israel, —And I will build them, as at the first;
8 Amih kah thaesainah cungkuem lamloh amih te ka caihcil ni. Kai soah tholh uh cakhaw amih kah thaesainah boeih te boeih khodawk ka ngai ni. Kai taengah tholh uh tih kai taengah boekoek uh cakhaw.
And I will purify them, from all their iniquity wherewith they have sinned against me, —And I will grant pardon for all their iniquities Wherewith they have sinned against me, and Wherewith they have transgressed against me;
9 Kamah taengah omngaihnah ming, koehnah la, diklai namtom boeih taengah boeimang la om ni. Amih ham hnothen ka saii boeih te a yaak uh coeng. Te dongah anih ham ka saii hnothen cungkuem neh ngaimongnah cungkuem dongah birhih uh vetih tlai uh ni.
So shall she become to me—A name of joy, A praise and An adorning, To all the nations of the earth, —Who will hear all the good which I am doing them, And will dread and be deeply moved over all the good and over all the prosperity which I am causing her.
10 BOEIPA loh he ni a thui, he hmuen ah koep a yaak bitni. Nangmih te, “A kaksap la, Judah khopuei ah hlang om pawt tih rhamsa om pawh, Jerusalem vongvoel ah pong coeng, hlang om pawh, khosa om pawh, rhamsa khaw om pawh,” a ti lah ko.
Thus, saith Yahweh—Again, shall be heard in this place, as to which ye are saying, Deserted, it is without man or beast, In the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, Which are desolate without man or inhabitant or beast
11 “‘Omngaihnah ol neh kohoenah ol, yulokung ol neh vasakung ol, BOEIPA im kah uemonah aka pawk puei rhoek, a sitlohnah kumhal ham neh BOEIPA a then dongah caempuei BOEIPA te uem uh,’ a ti ol neh lum bitni. Khohmuen thongtla te hnukbuet kah bangla ka mael puei,” tila BOEIPA loh a thui.
The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness The voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, The voice of them who are saying, Praise ye Yahweh of hosts, For good is Yahweh For age-abiding is his lovingkindness, The voice of them who are bringing a thank-offering into the house of Yahweh, —For I will bring back the captives of the land, as at the first, Saith Yahweh.
12 Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Hlang neh rhamsa neh om pawt cakhaw a khopuei boeih kah boiva aka dawn kah tolkhoeng ah aka kol boiva neh a kaksap la he hmuen ah koep om bitni.
Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Again, shall there be in this place—Which is deserted without man or even beast—And all the cities thereof, —The home of shepherds, causing flocks to lie down.
13 “Tlang kah khopuei ah, kolrhawk khopuei ah khaw, tuithim khopuei ah, Benjamin khohmuen ah, Jerusalem kaepvai ah, Judah khopuei rhoek ah khaw, boiva he aka tae kah kut dongah koep pongpa ni,” tila BOEIPA loh a thui.
In the cities of the hill country, In the cities of the lowland, and In the cities of the South, and In the land of Benjamin, and In the places round about Jerusalem, and In the cities of Judah, Again shall the flock pass over the hands of the numberer, Saith Yahweh.
14 BOEIPA kah olphong khohnin ha pawk coeng he. Israel imkhui neh Judah imkhui taengah ol then ka thui te ka thoeng sak ni.
Lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, —when I will establish my good word, which I have spoken—As to the house of Israel And concerning the house of Judah:
15 Te khohnin neh a tue vaengah David kah duengnah a dawn te ka duei sak vetih khohmuen ah tiktamnah neh duengnah a saii ni.
In those days and at that time, will I cause to bud unto David A Bud of righteousness, —And he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land:
16 Te khohnin ah Judah te daem vetih Jerusalem khaw ngaikhuek la om ni. Te te mamih kah duengnah BOEIPA la a khue ni.
In those days, Judah shall be saved, and, Jerusalem abide, securely, —And, this, is that which shall be proclaimed to her—Yahweh, our righteousness!
17 Te dongah BOEIPA loh,” Israel im kah ngolkhoel dongah aka ngol David kah hlang pat mahpawh,” a ti.
For, Thus, saith Yahweh, —There shall not be wanting to David—A man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
18 Ka mikhmuh kah Levi khosoih rhoek ham khaw hlang he pat mahpawh. Hmueihhlutnah aka khuen neh khocang aka phum khaw hnin takuem ah hmueih a khueh uh ni.
Nor to the priests the Levites, shall there be wanting—A man, before me, To offer an ascending-sacrifice, or To make a perfume with a gift, or To offer a [peace-] offering, all the days!
19 Te phoeiah BOEIPA ol he Jeremiah taengla koep ha pawk tih,
And the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah saying:
20 “BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Khothaih kah ka paipi neh khoyin kah ka paipi he na phae koinih amah tue vaengkah khoyin neh khothaih ah thoeng tangloeng mahpawt nim?
Thus, saith Yahweh, If ye can break, My covenant of the day, and My covenant of the night, That there be not day and night in their season,
21 Ka sal David taengkah ka paipi he khaw a taengah aka om tih a ngolkhoel dongah aka manghai a ca rhoek lamloh, kai aka khut Levi khosoih rhoek taeng lamloh pat mahpawh.
My covenant also, may be broken With David my servant, that he shall not have a son, to reign upon his throne, —And with the Levites the priests, mine attendants:
22 Vaan kah caempuei te tae lek pawt tih tuipuei laivin he a loeng lek moenih. Ka sal David kah tiingan neh kai aka khut Levi rhoek he khaw ka ping sak van ni,” a ti.
As, the host of the heavens, cannot be recorded, Nor the sand of the sea, be measured, So, will I multiply, The seed of David my servant, And the Levites who attend upon me.
23 BOEIPA ol he Jeremiah taengla koep ha pawk tih,
And the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah, saying:
24 “He pilnam he balae ti khaw hmu uh pawt nim? A thui vaengah tah, ‘BOEIPA loh amih huiko panit te a coelh dae koep a hnawt,’ a ti uh. Amih mikhmuh kah namtom aka om lamloh ka pilnam te a tlaitlaek uh,” a ti.
Hast thou not observed what, this people, have spoken saying, The two families which Yahweh did choose, he hath even cast them off? And so, my people, they despise, as though they could not again become a nation in their sight!
25 BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Khoyin neh khothaih kah ka paipi pawt koinih vaan neh diklai kah khosing khaw ka khueh mahpawh.
Thus, saith Yahweh, If my covenant of day and night, the ordinances of the heavens and the earth, I did not appoint,
26 Abraham, Isaak neh Jakob kah tiingan aka taemrhai ham Jakob kah tiingan neh ka sal David kah a tiingan lamloh tuek te khaw ka paa ni. Amih khuikah thongtla te ka mael rhoe ka mael puei vetih amih te ka haidam pueng ni.
The seed of Jacob also and of David my servant, might I cast off so as not to take of his seed as rulers unto the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, —For I will bring back them of their captivity, and will have compassion upon them.
