Jeremiah 2
1 BOEIPA ol te kai taengah om tih,
Moreover, the woorde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
2 Cet lamtah Jerusalem te a hna ah thui pah. BOEIPA loh, 'Nang kan poek, na camoe kah sitlohnah neh na thimkang kah lungnah bangla lohma la a tawn pawh khosoek ah kai hnuk nam vai.
Goe, and crie in the eares of Ierusalem, saying, Thus sayeth the Lord, I remember thee, with the kindenes of thy youth and the loue of thy marriage, when thou wentest after me in the wildernes in a lande that was not sowen.
3 Israel he BOEIPA ham cim. A thaih khuikah thaihcuek ni. Te te aka yoop rhoek tah boeih boe uh coeng. Amih te yoethaenah loh a thoeng thil,’ a ti te BOEIPA kah olphong ni, 'ti nah,” a ti.
Israel was as a thing halowed vnto the Lord, and his first fruits: all they that eat it, shall offend: euil shall come vpon them, saith the Lord.
4 Jakob imkhui neh Israel imkhui cako boeih BOEIPA ol he hnatun uh.
Heare ye the word of the Lord, O house of Iaakob, and all the families of the house of Israel.
5 BOEIPA loh, “Na pa rhoek loh kai dongah mebang dumlai a hmuh uh tih kai lamloh n'lakhla takuh. A honghi hnuk ah a caeh uh nen la a hoemdawk uh.
Thus sayeth the Lord, What iniquitie haue your fathers founde in mee, that they are gone farre from mee, and haue walked after vanitie, and are become vaine?
6 Mamih he Egypt kho lamkah aka caeh puei, khosoek ah, khohmuen kolken ah, khohmuen rhamrhae kah vaam neh dueknah hlipkhup ah, pakhat long khaw a pah nah pawt neh hlang loh a om nah pawh khohmuen ah aka mawt BOEIPA ta melae? ti uh pawh.
For they saide not, Where is the Lord that brought vs vp out of the lande of Egypt? that led vs through the wildernesse, through a desert, and waste land, through a drie land, and by the shadow of death, by a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?
7 Cangpai cangngol khohmuen kah a thaih neh a thennah cah hamla nangmih kang khuen. Tedae na pawk uh vaengah ka khohmuen te na poeih uh tih ka rho he tueilaehkoi la na khueh uh.
And I brought you into a plentifull countrey, to eat the fruit thereof, and the commodities of the same: but when yee entred, yee defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.
8 Khosoih rhoek loh BOEIPA ta,” ti uh pawh. Olkhueng aka tu rhoek nawn loh kai m'ming uh pawh. Kai taengah boekoek neh luem uh tih tonghma rhoek khaw Baal rhangneh tonghma uh tih aka hoeikhang pawt rhoek kah hnukah pongpa uh.
The priests said not, Where is the Lord? and they that should minister the Lawe, knewe me not: the pastours also offended against me, and the Prophets prophesied in Baal, and went after things that did not profite.
9 Te dongah nangmih kan ho te BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni. Na ca rhoek kah a ca rhoek te khaw ka ho pueng ni.
Wherefore I wil yet plead with you, saith the Lord, and I will pleade with your childrens children.
10 Kittim sanglak paan uh lamtah so lah. Kedar te tah lamtah rhep yakming laeh. Te bang te a om atah hmu van lah.
For goe ye to the yles of Chittim, and beholde, and sende vnto Kedar. and take diligent heede, and see whether there be such things.
11 Amih te pathen moenih, tedae namtom loh pathen te a hoilae aya? Ka pilnam loh a hoeikhang pawt dongah a thangpomnah neh a tho uh.
Hath any nation changed their gods, which yet are no gods? but my people haue chaged their glorie, for that which doeth not profite.
12 Te ah te vaan khaw hal saeh lamtah yawn saeh, mat khap uh saeh, BOEIPA kah olphong ni he.
O yee heauens, be astonied at this: bee afraid and vtterly confounded, sayeth the Lord.
13 Ka pilnam loh kai mulhing thunsih tui te a hnoo uh tih amamih ham tuito a vueh uh te boethae panit la a saii uh. Tangrhom aka rhek te tui khaw a ciip hae moenih.
For my people haue committed two euils: they haue forsaken mee the fountaine of liuing waters, to digge them pittes, euen broken pittes, that can holde no water.
14 Israel he sal a? A im kah cahlah a? Balae tih maeh la a om?
Is Israel a seruaunt, or is hee borne in the house? why then is he spoiled?
15 Anih taengah sathuengca rhoek kawk uh tih a ol a huel uh vaengah, a khohmuen kah a khopuei te imsuep la a khueh. Khosa pawt rhoek lamloh a hnueih khaw a hnueih uh mai.
The lions roared vpon him and yelled, and they haue made his land waste: his cities are burnt without an inhabitant.
16 Noph neh Tapanhes ca rhoek khaw na luki ah luem uh.
Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes haue broken thine head.
17 Nang soah na saii te he moenih a? nang m'mawt kuelhuelh vaengah longpuei ah BOEIPA na Pathen te na hnawt.
Hast not thou procured this vnto thy selfe, because thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, when he led thee by the way?
18 Tahae ah Egypt longpuei la Shihor tui ok ham te nang ham balae a hoeikhang? Assyria longpuei la tuiva tui ok ham khaw nang ham balae a hoeikhang eh?
And what hast thou now to do in the way of Egypt? to drinke the water of Nilus? or what makest thou in the way of Asshur? to drinke the water of the Riuer?
19 Na boethae loh namah n'toel vetih na hnuknong loh namah n'tluung ni. BOEIPA na Pathen na hnoo te boethae neh khahing la ming uh lamtah hmu uh. Nang taengah ka ka letnah a om moenih. Ka Boeipa Caempuei Yahovah kah olphong ni.
Thine owne wickednes shall correct thee, and thy turnings backe shall reprooue thee: know therefore and beholde, that it is an euil thing, and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, and that my feare is not in thee, sayeth the Lord God of hostes.
20 Khosuen kah na hnamkun kam bawt tih, na kuelrhui ka pat sak. Tedae tho kan thueng mahpawh, som boeih te a sang la ka paan bitni,’ na ti. Thingkung thinghing hmui boeih ah pumyoi la na khuum.
For of olde time I haue broken thy yoke, and burst thy bondes, and thou saidest, I will no more transgresse, but like an harlot thou runnest about vpon al hie hilles, and vnder all greene trees.
21 Kai loh cangtak mutue boeih khuikah cangsawt misur lam ni nang kan phung. Balae tih kai taengah kholong misur, a rhol la na poehlip uh.
Yet I had planted thee, a noble vine, whose plants were all natural: howe then art thou turned vnto me into the plants of a strange vine?
22 Lunghuem neh na silh tih namah ham lunghang na kum cakhaw kai mikhmuh ah namah kathaesainah a kap pueng te ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
Though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much sope, yet thine iniquitie is marked before me, sayeth the Lord God.
23 Balae tih, 'Ka poeih uh moenih, Baal hnukah khaw ka pongpa pawh,’ na ti. Kolrhawk kah namah khosing te hmu lah saw, a longpuei ah kapyang kalauk kolhalh bangla na saii te ming lah.
Howe canst thou say, I am not polluted, neither haue I followed Baalim? beholde thy waies in the valley, and know, what thou hast done: thou art like a swift dromedarie, that runneth by his waies.
24 Kohong marhang te a hinglu, a hinglu kah a hue neh khosoek khaw a lolmang nah. Amah tuetang ah yilh a mam. Anih aka mah te unim? Anih aka mae rhoek boeih khaw tawnba uh mahpawh. A hlasae dongah ni anih te a hmuh uh eh.
And as a wilde asse, vsed to the wildernesse, that snuffeth vp the winde by occasion at her pleasure: who can turne her backe? all they that seeke her, will not wearie themselues, but wil finde her in her moneth.
25 Na kho khotling neh na cangtilhmuen khaw, na olrhong te tuihalhnah lamloh tuem. Talsae la, “Hlanglak te ka lungnah ngawn pawt dae amih hnukah ka cet kuekluek ni,” na ti.
Keepe thou thy feete from barenes, and thy throte from thirst: but thou saidest desperately, No, for I haue loued strangers, and them will I follow.
26 Hlanghuen a hmuh uh vaengkah yahpohnah bangla amih Israel imkhui kah a manghai rhoek, a mangpa rhoek, a khosoih rhoek, a tonghma rhoek khaw yak uh tangkhuet.
As the theefe is ashamed, when he is foud, so is the house of Israel ashamed, they, their kings, their princes and their Priests, and their Prophets,
27 Thing taengah, 'Kamah napa tah nang ni, 'lungto taengah, 'Namah loh kaimih nan cun tah nan cun coeng,’ aka ti rhoek aw kai he a rhawn n'koh tak uh tih maelhmai khaw tal. Tedae a yoethae hnin ah tah, “Thoo lamtah kaimih n'khang lah,” a ti uh.
Saying to a tree, Thou art my father, and to a stone, Thou hast begotten me: for they haue turned their back vnto me, and not their face: but in ye time of their troble they wil say, Arise, and help vs.
28 Na pathen khaw namah ham na saii te ta? Na yoethae tue vaengah nang n'khang uh mak atah thoo uh saeh saw. Nang kah khopuei rhoek tarhing ah Judah nang kah pathen rhoek khaw om uh.
But where are thy gods, that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can helpe thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the nomber of thy cities, are thy gods, O Iudah.
29 Balae tih nangmih boeih loh kai nang oelh uh tih kai taengah boe na koekuh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
Wherefore wil ye pleade with me? ye all haue rebelled against me, sayeth the Lord.
30 Na ca rhoek te a poeyoek la ka taam tih thuituennah khaw doe uh pawh. Sathueng kah a hnom bangla na tonghma rhoek khaw na cunghang loh a yoop coeng.
I haue smitten your children in vaine, they receiued no correction: your owne sworde hath deuoured your Prophets like a destroying lyon.
31 Nangmih kah cadilcahma loh BOEIPA ol te hmu uh saeh. Israel taengah tah khosoek la, khohmuen yinsamangting la ka om a? Balae tih ka pilnam loh, “Ka van uh tih, nang taengla koep ka pawk uh mahpawh,” a ti uh.
O generation, take heede to the worde of the Lord: haue I bene as a wildernesse vnto Israel? or a lande of darkenesse? Wherefore sayeth my people then, We are lordes, we will come no more vnto thee?
32 oila loh amah kah tanu cangen neh a haikang a hnilh nim? Tedae ka pilnam loh kai n'hnilh te khohnin tae lek mahpawh.
Can a maid forget her ornament, or a bride her attire? yet my people haue forgotten me, daies without number.
33 Lungnah tlap ham balae tih na longpuei na voelphoeng sak. Boethae te na khosing neh na cang khaw na cang mai.
Why doest thou prepare thy way, to seeke amitie? euen therefore will I teach thee, that thy waies are wickednesse.
34 Khodaeng neh ommongsitoe kah hinglu thii he na mul dongah khaw a hmuh uh. Te boeih lalah pataeng umlawt dawk neh amih na hmuh moenih.
Also in thy wings is founde the bloud of the soules of ye poore innocents: I haue not found it in holes, but vpon all these places.
35 Te phoeiah, “Tedae ommongsitoe ngawn tih a thintoek khaw kai lamloh mael coeng,” na ti. “Ka tholh pawh,” na ti dongah nang te kamah loh kam boe sak coeng he.
Yet thou saiest, Because I am giltles, surely his wrath shall turne from mee: beholde, I will enter with thee into iudgement, because thou saiest, I haue not sinned.
36 Na longpuei te balae tih thovael ham muep na haam thil? Assyria kah yahbai bangla Egypt long khaw yah m'bai ni.
Why runnest thou about so much to change thy waies? for thou shalt be confounded of Egypt, as thou art confounded of Asshur.
37 Te lamloh na pawk vaengah na kut te na lu ah na paengpoei ni. Na pangtungnah rhoek te BOEIPA loh a hnawt coeng dongah amih loh thaihtak sak mahpawh.
For thou shalt goe foorth from thence, and thine hands vpon thine head, because the Lord hath reiected thy confidence, and thou shalt not prosper thereby.
