< Jeremiah 11 >

1 BOEIPA taeng lamkah ol te thui hamla Jeremiah taengla ha pawk.
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
2 Paipi ol he hnatun lamtah Judah hlang rhoek taeng neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek taengah thui pah.
“Listen to the words of this covenant and tell them to the men of Judah and the residents 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.
You must tell them that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Cursed is the man who does not obey 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 forefathers when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, ‘Obey Me, and do everything I command you, and you will 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.
This was in order to establish the oath I swore to your forefathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is to this day.” “Amen, LORD,” I answered.
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.
Then 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 carry them out.
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 from the time I brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt until today, I strongly warned them again and again, 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 would not obey or incline their ears, but each one followed the stubbornness of his evil heart. So I brought on them all the curses of this covenant I had commanded them to follow but they did not keep.”
9 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh kai taengah,” Judah hlang lakli neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek lakli kah lairhui te a hmuh.
And the LORD told me, “There is a conspiracy among the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem.
10 A napa rhoek kathaesainah 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 returned to the sins of their forefathers who refused to obey My words. They have followed other gods to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken the covenant 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 this is what the LORD says: ‘I am about to bring upon them a disaster that they cannot escape. They will cry out 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 residents of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods to which they have been burning incense, but these gods certainly will not save them in their time of disaster.
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.
Your gods are indeed as numerous as your cities, O Judah; the altars of shame you have set up—the altars to burn incense to Baal—are as many as the streets of Jerusalem.’
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.
As for you, do not pray for these people. Do not raise up a cry or a prayer on their behalf, for I will not be listening when they call out to Me in their time of disaster.
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 right has My beloved in My house, having carried out so many evil schemes? Can consecrated meat avert your doom, so that you can rejoice?
16 BOEIPA loh Olive thinghing neh thaihtae suisaksakthen 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 once called you a flourishing olive tree, beautiful with well-formed fruit. But with a mighty roar He will set it on fire, and its branches will be consumed.
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.
The LORD of Hosts, who planted you, has decreed disaster against you on account of the evil that the house of Israel and the house of Judah have brought upon themselves, provoking Me to anger by burning incense to Baal.”
18 BOEIPA loh kai n'tueng tih ka ming dongah amih khoboe te kai m'hmuh sak.
And the LORD informed me, so I knew. Then You showed me their deeds.
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.
For I was like a gentle lamb led to slaughter; I did not know that they had plotted against me: “Let us destroy the tree with its fruit; let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be remembered no more.”
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.
O LORD of Hosts, who judges righteously, who examines the heart and mind, let me see Your vengeance upon them, for to You I have committed 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 this is what the LORD says concerning the people of Anathoth who are seeking your life and saying, “You must not prophesy in the name of the LORD, or you will 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.
So this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “I will punish them. Their young men will die by the sword, their sons and daughters 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, for I will bring disaster on the people of Anathoth in the year of their punishment.”
