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.
And the Lord said to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before my face, my soul could not be toward them: dismiss this people, 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 be, if they say to you, Whither shall we go forth? then you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord; As many as are for death, to death; and as many as are for famine, to famine; and as many as are for the sword, to the sword; and as many 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 punish them with four kinds [of death], says the Lord, the sword to kill, and the dogs to tear, and the wild beasts of the earth, and the birds of the sky to devour and 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 deliver them up for distress to all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasses son of Ezekias king of Juda, for all that 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?
Who will spare you, O Jerusalem? and who will fear for you? or who will turn back [to ask] for your 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.
You have turned away from me, says the Lord, you will go back: therefore I will stretch out my hand, and will destroy you, and will no more spare them.
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 will completely scatter them; in the gates of my people they are bereaved of children: they have destroyed my people because of their iniquities.
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 been multiplied more than the sand of the sea: I have brought young men against the mother, [even] distress at noon-day: I have suddenly cast upon her trembling and anxiety.
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 that bore seven is spent; her soul has fainted under trouble; her sun is gone down while it is yet noon; she is ashamed and disgraced: I will give the remnant of them to the sword before their enemies.
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! you have born me as some man of strife, and at variance with the whole earth; I have not helped [others], nor has any one helped me; my strength has failed among them that curse 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?
Be it so, Lord, in their prosperity; surely I stood before you in the time of their calamities, and in the time of their affliction, for [their] good against the enemy.
12 Tlangpuei lamkah thi loh thi neh rhohum a khaem thai a?
Will iron be known? whereas your strength is a brazen covering.
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.
Yes, I will give your treasures for a spoil as a recompence, because of all your sins and [that] in all your 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 enslave you to your enemies round about, in a land which you have not known; for a fire has been kindled out of my wrath; it 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 Lord, remember me, and visit me, and vindicate me before them that persecute me; do not bear long with them; know how I have met with reproach for your sake, from those who set at nothing your words;
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.
consume them; and your word shall be to me for the joy and gladness of my heart: for your name has been called upon me, O Lord Almighty.
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 have not sat in the assembly of them as they mocked, but I feared because of your power: I sat alone, for I was filled with bitterness.
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 do they that grieve me prevail against me? my wound is severe; whence shall I be healed? it is indeed become to me as deceitful water, that has no faithfulness.
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 the Lord, If you will return, then will I restore you, and you shall stand before my face: and if you will bring forth the precious from the worthless, you shall be as my mouth: and they shall return to you; but you 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 you to this people as a strong brazen wall; and they shall fight against you, but they shall by no means prevail against you;
21 Te dongah boethae kah kutrham lamloh nang kang huul vetih hlanghaeng kah kutpha lamloh nang kan tlan ni.
for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you out of the hand of wicked [men]; and I will ransom you out of the hand of pestilent [men].
