Jeremiah 15
1 BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Moses neh Samuel pataeng ka mikhmuh ah pai cakhaw pilnam taengah he ka hinglu a om moenih. Ka mikhmuh lamloh tueih lamtah coe uh saeh.
Then Jehovah said to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would not be toward this people. Cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.
2 Tedae nang taengah, “Melam ka coe uh eh?” a ti uh atah amih te thui pah. He tah BOEIPA long ni a thui. Dueknah dongkah ham rhoek te dueknah dongla, cunghang dongkah ham rhoek te cunghang dongla, khokha dongkah ham rhoek te khokha dongla, tamna ham rhoek te tamna la om ni.
And it shall come to pass, when they say to thee, Where shall we go forth? Then thou shall tell them, Thus says Jehovah: Such as are for death, to death, and such as are for the sword, to the sword, and such as are for the famine, to the famine, and such as are for captivity, to captivity.
3 BOEIPA kah olphong hui tah pali om tih, cunghang neh ngawn ham, ui loh a koeng ham, vaan kah vaa neh diklai rhamsa loh a ngaeh ham neh thup ham te amih ka cawh thil ni.
And I will appoint over them four kinds, says Jehovah: the sword to kill, and the dogs to tear, and the birds of the heavens, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and to destroy.
4 Judah manghai Hezekiah capa Manasseh loh Jerusalem kah a saii kong ah amih te diklai ram boeih ah tonganah neh ngaihuetnah la ka khueh ni.
And I will cause them to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
5 Jerusalem nang soah, unim lungma aka ti vetih, nang hamla unim aka rhaehba ve? Nang kah sadingnah bih ham, unim aka nong ve?
For who will have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? Or who will bemoan thee? Or who will turn aside to ask of thy welfare?
6 Kai he nan phap uh tih a hnuk la na pongpa uh akhaw BOEIPA kah olphong om. Te dongah ka kut he nang soah ka thueng ni. Kohlawt khaw ka ngak coeng dongah nang kan thup ni.
Thou have rejected me, says Jehovah. Thou have gone backward. Therefore I have stretched out my hand against thee, and destroyed thee. I am weary with relenting.
7 Amih te khohmuen vongka ah rha neh ka yah ni. Ka pilnam he a longpuei lamloh ha bal uh pawt cakol la ka milh sak ni.
And I have winnowed them with a fan in the gates of the land. I have bereaved them of sons. I have destroyed my people. They did not return from their ways.
8 A taengkah nuhmai te tuitunli kah laivin lakah ka tahoeng sak ni. A manu taengah khothun kah aka rhoelrhak tongpang ka khuen pah ni. Khopuei kah lungmitnah te a soah buengrhuet ka cuhu sak ni.
Their widows have increased to me above the sand of the seas. I have brought upon them, against the mother of the young men, a destroyer at noonday. I have caused anguish and terrors to fall upon her suddenly.
9 Parhih aka cun khaw tahah vetih a hil awt ni. Khothaih pueng ah a khomik te tla rhoe tla vetih yahpoh neh ngam ni. cunghang lamloh a meet te a thunkha kah mikhmuh ah ka paek ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni,” a ti.
She who has borne seven, languishes. She has given up the spirit. Her sun has gone down while it was yet day. She has been put to shame and confounded. And the residue of them I will deliver to the sword before their enemies, says Jehovah.
10 Anunae kai aih he. A nu nang loh, kai he khohmuen tom neh tuituknah kah hlang neh olpungkacan kah hlang lam nim nan cun. Ka pu pawt tih kai taengah pu pawt dae a pum la kai n'tap uh.
Woe is me, my mother, that thou have bore me, a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have not lent, nor have men lent to me, yet every one of them curses me.
11 BOEIPA loh, “Nang he kan hlah rhoe kan hlah tang mahpawt nim? A then ham tah yoethae tue vaengah, thunkha neh citcai tue vaengah nang te kan doo tang mahpawt nim?
Jehovah said, Truly I will strengthen thee for good. Truly I will cause the enemy to make supplication to thee in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
12 Tlangpuei lamkah thi loh thi neh rhohum a khaem thai a?
Can a man break iron, even iron from the north, and brass?
13 Na khorhi tom kah na tholhnah cungkuem dongah mah na khuehtawn neh na thakvoh khaw maeh la ka mop vetih a phu om mahpawh.
Thy substance and thy treasures I will give for a spoil without price. And that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders.
14 Ming pawt khohmuen kah na thunkha te kam paan sak ni. Ka thintoek hmai neh nangmih kan hlae vetih na ung uh ni.
And I will make them to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou know not. For a fire is kindled in my anger, which shall burn upon you.
15 BOEIPA namah loh na ming. Kai m'poek lamtah kai he n'hip mai. Kai aka hloem rhoek soah kai yueng la phulo nawn. Na thintoek a ueh pawt dongah nim kai nan loh. Nang ham kokhahnah ka phueih he poek.
O Jehovah, thou know. Remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors. Take me not away in thy longsuffering. Know that for thy sake I have suffered reproach.
16 Na ol a hmuh uh coeng dongah te ni ka caak. Na ol tah na ol la a om dongah kai ham omngaihnah neh ka thinko kohoenah la poeh. Kai taengah caempuei Pathen BOEIPA namah ming ni a khue.
Thy words were found, and I ate them. And thy words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart. For I am called by thy name, O Jehovah, God of hosts.
17 Aka luem tih ka sundaep rhoek kah baecenol dongah ka nuen moenih. Kai he kosi nan hah sak dongah na kut dong bueng ah ni ka ngol.
I did not sit in the assembly of those who make merry, nor did I rejoice. I sat alone because of thy hand, for thou have filled me with indignation.
18 Balae tih ka thakkhoeihnah om yoeyah a? Ka hmasoe neh aka rhawp loh hoeih ham a aal. Cak uh pawt tih tui hong bangla kai taengah na om khaw na om ve.
Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? Will thou indeed be to me as a deceitful brook, as waters that fail?
19 Te dongah BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Na mael tih nang taengla ka mael daengah ni ka mikhmuh ah na pai eh. Carhut lakah a phu aka tlo ha thoeng atah kamah ka bangla na om ni. Amih te nang taengla ha mael cakhaw nang te amih taengla na mael mahpawh.
Therefore thus says Jehovah: If thou return, then I will bring thee again that thou may stand before me. And if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shall be as my mouth. They shall return to thee, but thou shall not return to them.
20 Nang tah pilnam taengah he rhohum vongtung neh a cakrhuet la kang khueh ni. Nang m'vathoh thil cakhaw nang te n'noeng uh mahpawh. Nang khang ham neh nang huul hamla nang taengah ka om. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
And I will make thee to this people a fortified brazen wall. And they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee. For I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, says Jehovah.
21 Te dongah boethae kah kutrham lamloh nang kang huul vetih hlanghaeng kah kutpha lamloh nang kan tlan ni.
And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.
