Jeremiah 10
1 Israel imkhui nangmih taengah BOEIPA loh a thui olka te ya uh.
Heare ye the worde of the Lord that he speaketh vnto 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 saith the Lord, Learne not the way of the heathen, and be not afraid for the signes of heauen, though the heathen be afraid of such.
3 A honghi pilnam kah khosing dongah he duup lamkah thing ni kutthai kut kah bibi loh tubael neh a saii ngawn.
For the customes of the people are vaine: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest (which is the worke of the handes of the carpenter) with the axe,
4 ngun neh, sui neh a sawtthen sak tih, thicung neh thilung neh a khing dongah lol voel pawh.
And another decketh it with siluer, and with golde: they fasten it with nailes, and hammers, that it fall not.
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.
The idoles stande vp as the palme tree, but speake not: they are borne because they cannot go feare them not, for they cannot do euill, neither can they do good.
6 BOEIPA namah bang moenih. Namah tah na len tih na ming khaw, thayung thamal dongah tanglue pai.
There is none like vnto thee, O Lord: thou art great, and thy name is great in power.
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.
Who would not feare thee, O King of nations? for to thee appertaineth the dominion: for among all the wise men of the Gentiles, and in al their kingdomes there is none like thee.
8 Pakhat la dom uh thae tih a hong thing kah thuituennah dongah ang uh.
But, altogether they dote, and are foolish: for the stocke is a doctrine of vanitie.
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.
Siluer plates are brought from Tarshish, and golde from Vphaz, for the worke of the workeman, and the handes of the founder: the blewe silke, and the purple is their clothing: all these things are made by cunning men.
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.
But the Lord is the God of trueth: he is the liuing God, and an euerlasting King: at his anger the earth shall tremble, and the nations cannot abide his wrath.
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 vnto them, The gods that haue not made the heauens and the earth, shall perish from the earth, and from vnder these heauens)
12 A thadueng neh diklai a saii, a cueihnah neh lunglai a thoh tih a lungcuei neh vaan khaw a dih.
He hath made the earth by his power, and established the worlde by his wisedome, and hath stretched out the heauen by his discretion.
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.
Hee giueth by his voyce the multitude of waters in the heauen, and he causeth the cloudes to ascend from the endes of the earth: he turneth lightnings to rayne, and bringeth forth the winde 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.
Euery man is a beast by his owne knowledge: euery founder is confounded by the grauen image: for his melting is but falsehood, and there is no breath therein.
15 Amih ahonghi neh a hohap kah khoboe tah amamih kah cawhnah tue vaengah milh bitni.
They are vanitie, and the worke of errours: 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.
The portion of Iaakob is not like them: for he is the maker of all things, and Israel is the rodde of his inheritance: the Lord of hostes is his Name.
17 Vongup ah aka om, aka om loh na hnocun te diklai lamloh coi uh laeh.
Gather vp thy wares out of the land, O thou that dwellest in the strong place.
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 sayth the Lord, Beholde, at this time I will throwe as with a sling the inhabitants of the lande, and will trouble them, and they shall finde it so.
19 Anunae kai aih he, ka pocinah dongah ka hmasoe khaw nue coeng. Tedae tloh he ka phuei mai eh ka ti coeng.
Wo is me for my destruction, and my grieuous plague: but I thought, Yet it is my sorow, and I will beare it.
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.
My tabernacle is destroyed, and all my coardes are broken: my children are gone from me, and are not: there is none to spread out my tent any more, and to set vp my curtaines.
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 Pastours are become beasts, and haue not sought the Lord: therefore haue they none vnderstanding: and all the flockes of their pastures are scattered.
22 Tlangpuei khohmuen lamkah hinghuennah puei loh Judah khopuei te khopong kah pongui khuirhung la khueh ham olthang ol ha pawk coeng ke.
Beholde, the noyse of the brute is come, and a great commotion out of the North countrey to make the cities of Iudah desolate, and a denne of dragons.
23 BOEIPA aw, a longpuei te hlang kah pawt tih hlang dongah a pongpa kolla a khokan a rhoekbah te khaw ka ming.
O Lord, I knowe, that the way of man is not in himselfe, neyther is it in man to walke and to direct his steps.
24 Aw BOEIPA kai he tiktamnah nen mah n'thuituen lamtah na thintoek nen boel saeh. Kai nan hnop ve.
O Lord, correct mee, but with iudgement, not in thine anger, least thou bring mee to nothing.
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.
Powre out thy wrath vpon the heathen, that knowe thee not, and vpon the families that call not on thy Name: for they haue eaten vp Iaakob and deuoured him and consumed him, and haue made his habitation desolate.
