Jeremiah 22
1 He ni BOEIPA loh a thui. Judah manghai im ah cet lamtah he ol he pahoi thui pah.
Thus, said Yahweh, Go thou down to the house of king of Judah, and speak thou there this word,
2 Te vaengah, “David ngolkhoel ah aka ngol Judah manghai nang neh, na sal rhoek, he vongka longah aka pawk na pilnam loh BOEIPA ol hnatun uh,’ ti nah.
and say—Hear thou the word of Yahweh O king of Judah who sittest upon the throne of David, —thou, and thy servants and thy people who enter in at these gates,
3 BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Tiktamnah neh duengnah te saii lamtah haemtaekkung kut lamkah a rheth rhoek te huul laeh. Yinlai cadah neh nuhmai te vuelvaek boel lamtah huet boeh. He hmuen ah ommongsitoe thii te long sak boeh.
Thus, saith Yahweh, —Execute ye justice, and righteousness, And deliver the robbed out of the hand of the oppressor, —But the sojourner the fatherless, and the widow, do not oppress neither commit violence, And the blood of the innocent, do not ye shed, in this place.
4 He kah ol he na vai rhoe na vai van daengah ni David kah a ngolkhoel dongah aka ngol manghai rhoek khaw, leng dong neh a marhang dongah aka ngol a sal khaw, a sal rhoek neh a pilnam khaw he im vongka lamloh a pongpa eh.
For if ye, indeed do, this thing, then shall there enter into the gates of this house—kings, sitting for David upon his throne riding in chariots and on horses, he and his servants, and his people.
5 Tedae he ol he na ngai pawt atah kamah loh BOEIPA kah olphong neh ka toemngam coeng dongah he im he imrhong la poeh ni.
But if ye will not hear these words, By myself have I sworn Declareth Yahweh—That, a ruin, shall this house become.
6 Te dongah BOEIPA loh Gilead kah Judah manghai im te a thui. Nang tah kai taengah Lebanon som bangla na om cakhaw nang te khopuei khosoek la ka khueh pawt vetih khosa rhoek loh khosa uh mahpawt nim?
For Thus, saith Yahweh Concerning the house of the king of Judah, —Though thou wast Gilead, to me, The summit of Lebanon, Yet surely I will make thee, A wilderness, Cities, not habitable;
7 Nang te hlang kutyook la kang hoep vetih a hnopai neh na lamphai thinghloe te a vung phoeiah hmai khuila a voeih ni.
And I will hallow against thee Destroyers Every man with his weapons, —And they shall cut down of the choicest of thy cedars, and cast upon the fire.
8 He khopuei te namtom loh muep a poeng vaengah hlang loh a hui taengah, “Balae tih BOEIPA loh he khopuei tanglue taengah he he a saii?” a ti uh ni.
Then shall many nations pass by this city, —and shall say, every man to his neighbour, For what cause, hath Yahweh done thus, unto this great city?
9 Te vaengah, “A Pathen BOEIPA kah paipi te a hnoo uh tih pathen tloe te a bawk uh, amih taengla tho a thueng uh dongah,” a ti uh ni.
And they shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of Yahweh, their God, —And bowed down to other gods And served them.
10 Aka duek ham te rhap uh boel lamtah anih te suem uh boeh. Aka cet ham te rhap lammah rhap uh. Koep ha mael hae pawt vetih a pacaboeina kah khohmuen te hmu voel mahpawh.
Do not ye lament for him that is dead Neither bemoan ye, him, But weep ye—weep on—for him that is going away, For he shall not return any more Nor see the land of his birth.
11 He tah a napa Josiah yueng la aka manghai, Judah manghai Josiah capa Shallum kawng ni BOEIPA loh a thui. Anih tah he hmuen lamloh nong coeng tih he la koep ha pawk voel mahpawh.
For Thus, saith Yahweh—Touching Shallum, son of Josiah king of Judah, That reigneth instead of Josiah his father, Who hath gone forth out of this place, He shall not return thither any more;
12 Tedae te hmuen ah anih te a poelyoe uh vetih pahoi duek ni. Te vaengah he khohmuen he hmu voel mahpawh.
For in the place whither they have taken him captive, There, shall he die, —And this land, shall he see no more.
13 Anunae a im aka thoh khaw duengnah nen moenih. Te dongah a imhman khaw tiktamnah neh om pawh. A hui te a hoeihae la thotat tih anih te a bisai pang pae pawh.
Alas! for him who buildeth his house without righteousness, And his roof-chambers without justice, —Of his neighbour, taketh service for nought, And recompense for his work, giveth him not.
14 Kamah ham im len ka thoh eh aka ti tih imhman aka hoengpoek sak loh amah ham tah bangbuet te a buet phoeiah lamphai neh a ci tih pangcik neh a koelh.
Who saith—I will build me a roomy house, with spacious roof-chambers, —So he cutteth him open its windows, And it is covered in with cedar, And he painteth it with vermilion.
15 Nang na manghai dongah nim na pa kah lamphai dongah a lungoe. A caak tih a ok moenih a? Duengnah neh tiktamnah a saii dongah maco anih ham a then tangloeng te.
Shalt thou reign, because, thou, art eager to excel in cedar? Thy father, did he not eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness, And, then, it was well with him?
16 Mangdaeng neh khodaeng kah dumlai dongah a laitloek then tangloeng. Te khaw kamah kah mingnah moenih a? He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
[Did he not] plead the cause of the oppressed and the needy, And, then, it was well? Was not, that, to know, me? Demandeth Yahweh.
17 Na mik neh na lungbuei om pawt tih ommongsitoe thii long sak ham dongah, hnaemtaeknah dongah, phaepnah saii ham bueng ni na mueluemnah te.
Verily thou hast neither eyes nor heart, save for thy plundering and for thy shedding of innocent blood, and for oppression and for crushing to do them!
18 Te dongah BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Judah manghai Josiah capa Jehoiakim kawng dongah anih te rhaengsae uh mahpawh. Anunae ka manuca neh anunae ka ngannu aih anih te rhaengsae uh mahpawh. Anunae boeipa neh anunae a mueithennah aih.
Therefore—Thus, saith Yahweh, Touching Jehoiakim son of Josiah King of Judah, They shall not cry in lament for him Alas my brother! or Alas sister! They shall not cry in lament for him Alas lord! or Alas! his renown!
19 Jerusalem vongka kah a voel la voeih ham a sol vetih laak kah phuel ah a up ni.
With the burial of an ass, shall he be buried, Dragged along and cast forth, beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
20 Lebanon la cet lamtah pang lah. Bashan ah na ol huel lamtah Abarim lamloh pang laeh. Na lungnah boeih khaw khaem uh coeng.
Ascend the Lebanon and make outcry, And in Bashan, put forth thy voice, —And make outcry from Abarim, For all thy lovers are torn in pieces.
21 Na ommongnah khuiah nang te kan thui coeng dae, “Ka hnatun mahpawh,” na ti. Ka ol na hnatun pawt khaw na camoe lamkah na longpuei rhoe ni he.
I spake unto thee, in thy carelessness, —Thou saidst I will not hearken! This hath been thy way from thy youth, That thou hast not hearkened to my voice.
22 Nang aka dawn boeih khaw khohli loh a luem puei vetih nang aka lungnah te tamna la cet uh ni. Te vaengah na yak uh vetih na boethae cungkuem dongah na hmaithae uh ni.
All thy shepherds, the wind shall feed, And, thy lovers into captivity, shall depart, —Surely, then shalt thou turn pale and be confounded, by reason of all thy wickedness.
23 Lebanon kah khosa rhoek, lamphai dongah bubuk rhoek, tharhui bungtloh ca om bangla nang soah ha pawk vaengah metlam nim na huei ve.
O inhabitress of Lebanon that makest thy nest in the cedars, —How hast thou bemoaned thyself Now that pangs have overtaken thee, Anguish, as of her that giveth birth.
24 Kai hingnah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Judah manghai Jehoiakim capa Koniah pataeng ka bantang kut dongkah kutbuen la om ngawn cakhaw te lamloh te nang kan dul coeng.
As I live, Declareth Yahweh, —Even though Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet-ring upon my right hand, yet, from thence, would I pull thee off;
25 Na hinglu aka toem kut neh nang loh na rhih kut dongah nang te kan tloeng ni. Amih mikhmuh ah Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar kut neh Khalden kut ah kan tloeng ni.
and I would give thee into the hand of them who seek thy life and into the hand of them from the face of whom, thou dost shrink in fear, —even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and into the hand of the Chaldeans;
26 Namah neh nang aka cun na nu te khaw kho tloe la kang hut vetih na thaang pawt nah ah te pahoi na duek ni.
and I will hurl thee out and thy mother who bare thee, upon another land where ye were not born, —and, there, shall ye die.
27 Te khohmuen la a hinglu aka khuen rhoek tah mael ham akhaw na mael uh voel mahpawh.
But unto the land whither they shall be lifting up their souls to return, thither, shall they not return.
28 Koniah hlang phop kah a hnaep he patangnah ni nama? Anih ham hnopai khaw a ngaih moenih. Balae tih amah neh a tiingan rhoek khaw a hut vetih ming pawt kho la a voeih eh?
An earthen vessel to be despised thrown about, is this man Coniah? Or an instrument, in which is no pleasure? Wherefore are they to be cast out, he and his seed, and to be thrown forth upon a land which they have not known?
29 Khohmuen, Khohmuen, khohmuen oeh! BOEIPA ol he hnatun laeh.
O land, land, land! Hear thou the word of Yahweh!
30 BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. He kah hlang he cakol hlang la daek laeh. Amah tue vaengah thaihtak pawt vetih a tiingan lamkah khaw thaihtak mahpawh. David ngolkhoel dongah aka ngol hlang neh Judah khuiah koep aka taemrhai khaw om mahpawh.
Thus, saith Yahweh, —Register ye this man, childless, A man who shall not prosper in his days, —For there shall prosper of his seed No man sitting upon the throne of David, Or ruling any more over Judah.
