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 YHWH says to me: “Though Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My soul is not toward this people, Send from before My face, and they go out.
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 has come to pass, when they say to you, To where do we go out? That you have said to them, Thus said YHWH: Those who [are] for death—to death, And those who are for the sword—to the sword, And those who are for famine—to famine, And those who 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 have appointed four kinds over them,” A declaration of YHWH, “The sword to slay, and the dogs to drag, And the bird of the heavens, And the beast of the earth, to consume and to devour.
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 have given them for a trembling To all kingdoms of the earth, Because of Manasseh 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 has pity on you, O Jerusalem? And who bemoans for you? And who turns aside to ask of 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 left Me,” A declaration of YHWH, “You go backward, And I stretch out My hand against you, And I destroy you, I have been weary of 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 scatter them with a fan, In the gates of the land, I have bereaved [them], I have destroyed My people, They did not turn back 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.
Its widows have been more to Me than the sand of the seas, I brought on them—against the mother—A young man—a spoiler—at noon. I caused wrath and trouble to fall on 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.
The bearer of seven has languished, She has breathed out her spirit, Her sun has gone in while yet day, It has been ashamed and confounded, And I give up their remnant to the sword before their enemies,” A declaration of YHWH.
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 to me, my mother, For you have borne me, A man of strife and a man of contention to all the land, I have not lent on usury, Nor have they lent on usury to me—All of them are reviling 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?
YHWH said, “Did I not direct you for good? Did I not intercede for you in a time of evil, And in a time of adversity, with the enemy?
12 Tlangpuei lamkah thi loh thi neh rhohum a khaem thai a?
Does one break iron, Northern iron and bronze?
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.
I give your strength and your treasures for a prey—not for price, Even for all your sins, and 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 have caused your enemies To pass over into the land [that] You have not known, For a fire has been kindled in My anger, It burns against 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.
You, You have known, O YHWH, Remember me, and inspect me, And take vengeance for me of my pursuers, In Your long-suffering do not take me away, Know [that] I have borne reproach for You.
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.
Your words have been found, and I eat them, And Your word is to me for a joy, And for the rejoicing of my heart, For Your Name is called on me, O YHWH, 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 have not sat in an assembly of deriders, Nor do I exult, because of your hand—I have sat alone, For You 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 has my pain been continuous? And my wound incurable? It has refused to be healed, You are surely as a failing stream to me, Waters [that are] not steadfast.
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 said YHWH: “If you turn back, then I bring you back, You stand before Me, And if you bring out the precious from the vile, You are as My mouth! They return to you, And you do 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 have made you to this people For a wall—bronze—fortified, And they have fought against you, And they do not prevail against you, For I [am] with you to save you, And to deliver you,” A declaration of YHWH,
21 Te dongah boethae kah kutrham lamloh nang kang huul vetih hlanghaeng kah kutpha lamloh nang kan tlan ni.
“And I have delivered you from the hand of evildoers, And I have ransomed you From the hand of the terrible!”
