Jeremiah 31
1 Te vaengkah a tue ah BOEIPA kah olphong om coeng. Israel cako boeih kah Pathen la ka om vetih amih te kamah taengah pilnam la om uh ni.
At that time, an affirmation of Jehovah, I am for God to all families of Israel, And they — they are to Me for a people.
2 BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Cunghang kah a caknoi pilnam tah khosoek ah mikdaithen la a hmuh vetih Israel amah te hoep ham ni a pongpa eh.
Thus said Jehovah: Found grace in the wilderness Hath a people remaining from the sword Going to cause it to rest — Israel.
3 BOEIPA tah kai taengah daengrhae daengkhoi la ha phoe coeng dongah kumhal kah lungnah neh nang kan lungnah tih sitlohnah neh nang kan dangrhoek tangloeng coeng.
From afar Jehovah hath appeared to me, With love age-during I have loved thee, Therefore I have drawn thee [with] kindness.
4 Israel oila nang te koep kan thoh vetih na thoo bitni. Na kamrhing te koep na oi vetih lamnah dongah na luem doela na pawk bitni.
Again do I build thee, And thou hast been built, O virgin of Israel, Again thou puttest on thy tabrets, And hast gone out in the chorus of the playful.
5 Samaria tlang ah misur koep na phung te a phung, a phung uh vetih a poek a yak uh ni.
Again thou dost plant vineyards In mountains of Samaria, Planters have planted, and made common.
6 Ephraim tlang kah aka dawn rhoek loh, “Thoo uh lamtah mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA taengah Zion la cet uh sih,” tila a hoe uh khohnin khaw om bitni.
For there is a day, Cried have watchmen on mount Ephraim, 'Rise, and we go up to Zion, unto Jehovah our God;
7 BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Jakob ham tamhoe uh lamtah kohoenah neh hlampan uh. Namtom boeilu te yaak sak lamtah a thangthen neh, “BOEIPA aw na pilnam Israel kah a meet te khang laeh,” ti saeh.
For thus said Jehovah: Sing, O ye to Jacob, [with] joy, And cry aloud at the head of the nations, Sound ye, praise ye, and say, Save, O Jehovah, thy people, the remnant of Israel.
8 Amih te tlangpuei khohmuen lamloh kang khuen coeng he. Te dongah amih te diklai a hlaep lamloh ka coi ni. Amih taengkah mikdael neh khokhaem khaw, aka vawn neh cacun khaw hlangping la muep ha mael uh rhenten ni.
Lo, I am bringing them in from the north country, And have gathered them from the sides of the earth, Among them [are] blind and lame, Conceiving and travailing one — together, A great assembly — they turn back hither.
9 Rhahnah neh ha pawk uh cakhaw amih huithuinah neh ka khuen ni. Amih te soklong tui ah ka pongpa puei vetih, a thuem longpuei ah paloe uh mahpawh. Israel taengah ana pa la ka om tih Ephriam te ka caming ni.
With weeping they come in, And with supplications I bring them, I cause them to go unto streams of waters, In a right way — they stumble not in it, For I have been to Israel for a father, And Ephraim — My first-born [is] he.
10 Namtom rhoek BOEIPA ol he hnatun uh. Khohla bangsang kah sanglak ah khaw puen uh lamtah Israel khuikah a thaekyak te thui pah. Anih te a coi vetih a tuping aka dawn bangla anih te a ngaithuen ni.
Hear a word of Jehovah, O nations, And declare ye among isles afar off, and say: He who is scattering Israel doth gather him, And hath kept him as a shepherd [doth] his flock,
11 BOEIPA loh Jakob te a lat tih anih lakah tlungluen kut lamloh a tlan coeng.
For Jehovah hath ransomed Jacob, And redeemed him from a hand stronger than he.
12 Ha pawk uh vaengah Zion hmuensang ah tamhoe uh ni. BOEIPA kah thennah dongah, cangpai dongah, misur thai dongah, situi dongah, boiva neh saelhung ca dongah hlampan uh ni. A hingah te khosul dum bangla om vetih a kha koep ham koei mahpawh.
And they have come in, And have sung in the high place of Zion, And flowed unto the goodness of Jehovah, For wheat, and for new wine, and for oil, And for the young of the flock and herd, And their soul hath been as a watered garden, And they add not to grieve any more.
13 Te vaengah oila khaw tongpang neh patong taengah lamnah neh thikat la a kohoe ni. Amih kah nguekcoinah te omngaihnah la ka hoi pah vetih amih te ka hloep ni. Amih kah kothaenah yueng la amih ko ka hoe sak ni.
Then rejoice doth a virgin in a chorus, Both young men and old men — together, And I have turned their mourning to joy, And have comforted them, And gladdened them above their sorrow,
14 Khosoih rhoek kah hinglu te maehhloi neh ka sulpuem sak vetih ka pilnam khaw ka thennah neh cung uh ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
And satisfied the soul of the priests [with] fatness, And My people with My goodness are satisfied, An affirmation of Jehovah.
15 BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Ramah ah rhathinah ol a yaak. Rakhel tah a ca rhoek ham kosidung kah rhahnah neh rhap coeng. A ca rhoek a om pawt dongah kohlawt ham khaw a aal coeng.
Thus said Jehovah, A voice in Ramah is heard, wailing, weeping most bitter, Rachel is weeping for her sons, She hath refused to be comforted for her sons, because they are not.
16 BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Na ol te rhahnah lamloh, na mik te khaw mikphi lamloh tuem laeh. BOEIPA kah olphong bangla na khoboe ham thapang om vetih thunkha khohmuen lamloh ha mael uh bitni.
Thus said Jehovah: Withhold thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears, For there is a reward for thy work, An affirmation of Jehovah, And they have turned back from the land of the enemy.
17 BOEIPA kah olphong bangla na hmailong ham ngaiuepnah om tangloeng coeng tih ca rhoek khaw a khorhi la mael uh bitni.
And there is hope for thy latter end, An affirmation of Jehovah, And the sons have turned back [to] their border.
18 Ephraim kah a rhaehba te a yaak rhoela ka yaak coeng. Kai nan thuituen vaengah a phaep noek pawh vaitoca bangla n'thuituen coeng. Namah tah BOEIPA ka Pathen la na om dongah kai m'mael sak lamtah ka mael pawn eh.
I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself, 'Thou hast chastised me, And I am chastised, as a heifer not taught, Turn me back, and I turn back, For thou [art] Jehovah my God.
19 Ka mael hnukah ni damti coeng. Ka hlit dongkah kutpaeng khaw ka ming phoeiah ni ka yah pueng. Ka camoe lamkah kokhahnah te ka phueih tih ka hmaithae coeng.
For after my turning back I repented, And after my being instructed I struck on the thigh, I have been ashamed, I have also blushed, For I have borne the reproach of my youth.
20 Ephraim he kamah taengkah oingaih capa maco? Anih te ka thui dingdoeng vaengah khaw hlahmaenah camoe ni. Te dongah anih te ka poek rhoe ka poek pueng. Ka ko anih hamla umya tih anih te haidam rhoela ka haidam coeng. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
A precious son is Ephraim to Me? A child of delights? For since My speaking against him, I do thoroughly remember him still, Therefore have My bowels been moved for him, I do greatly love him, An affirmation of Jehovah.
21 Namah ham pangkae te ling lamtah miknawt khaw namah ham khueh laeh. Longpuei lamhlawn te na lungbuei ah dueh lamtah pongpa rhoe pongpa laeh. Israel oila ha mael lamtah na khopuei ah he ha mael laeh.
Set up for thee signs, make for thee heaps, Set thy heart to the highway, the way thou wentest, Turn back, O virgin of Israel, Turn back unto these thy cities.
22 Hnukmael canu te me hil nim na dongpam ve? BOEIPA loh diklai dongah a thai la a suen vetih huta tongpa loh a vael bitni.
Till when dost thou withdraw thyself, O backsliding daughter? For Jehovah hath prepared a new thing in the land, Woman doth compass man.
23 Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. He ol he Judah kho khui neh a khopuei rhoek khuiah koep a thui uh vaengah amih khuikah thongtla te kai taengla ha mael ni. Duengnah tlang cim tolkhoeng dongkah BOEIPA loh nang n'uem nawn saeh.
Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Still they say this word in the land of Judah, And in its cities, In My turning back [to] their captivity, Jehovah doth bless thee, habitation of righteousness, Mountain of holiness.
24 Te vaengah Judah amah neh a khopuei boeih ah tun kho a sak uh lopho khaw tuping neh ha hlah uh ni.
And dwelt in Judah have husbandmen, and in all its cities together, And they have journeyed in order.
25 Buhmueh rhathih kah a hinglu te ka sulpuem sak vetih aka kha kah hinglu te boeih ka cung sak ni.
For I have satiated the weary soul, And every grieved soul I have filled.'
26 Ka haenghang vaengah he khaw ka sawt tih ka ih khaw kai ham tui mai.
On this I have awaked, and I behold, and my sleep hath been sweet to me.
27 BOEIPA kah olphong khohnin ha pawk coeng ke. Israel imkhui neh Judah imkhui khaw, hlang kah tiingan neh rhamsa kah tiingan khaw ka phul pueng ni.
Lo, days are coming, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have sown the house of Israel, And the house of Judah, With seed of man, and seed of beast.
28 Phuk ham neh phil ham khaw, koengloeng ham neh milh sak ham khaw, thaehuet ham khaw amih ka hak thil bangla thoeng van. Te dongah thoh ham neh phung ham khaw amih te ka hak thil ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
And it hath been, as I watched over them to pluck up, And to break down, and to throw down, And to destroy, and to afflict; So do I watch over them to build, and to plant, An affirmation of Jehovah.
29 Te khohnin ah tah, “A napa rhoek loh thaihkang a caak uh tih a ca rhoek a no yaa,” ti uh voel mahpawh.
In those days they do not say any more: Fathers have eaten unripe fruit, And the sons' teeth are blunted.
30 Tedae hlang he amah kathaesainah dongah ni a duek eh. Thaihkang aka ca hlang boeih tah a no yaa ni.
But — each for his own iniquity doth die, Every man who is eating the unripe fruit, Blunted are his teeth.
31 BOEIPA kah olphong khohnin tah ha pawk coeng ke. Israel imkhui taeng neh Judah imkhui taengah paipi thai ka saii ni.
Lo, days are coming, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have made with the house of Israel And with the house of Judah a new covenant,
32 Egypt kho lamloh amih khuen ham a kut ah ka talong khohnin vaengkah a napa rhoek neh ka saii paipi bang te moenih. Amih loh ka paipi he phae cakhaw kai amih te ka yuunah ngawn ta. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
Not like the covenant that I made with their fathers, In the day of My laying hold on their hand, To bring them out of the land of Egypt, In that they made void My covenant, And I ruled over them — an affirmation of Jehovah.
33 Tedae paipi he Israel imkhui neh ka saii phoeikah khohnin ah tah ka olkhueng he amih kotak khuiah ka paek vetih a lungbuei ah ka daek pah ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Amih taengah Pathen la ka om vetih amih khaw kamah taengah pilnam la om uh ni.
For this [is] the covenant that I make, With the house of Israel, after those days, An affirmation of Jehovah, I have given My law in their inward part, And on their heart I do write it, And I have been to them for God, And they are to me for a people.
34 Hlang loh a hui te koep tukkil uh pawt vetih hlang loh a manuca te, “BOEIPA te ming laeh,” ti nah mahpawh. Amih te tanoe lamloh kangham duela kai boeih m'ming uh ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Amih kathaesainah te khodawk ka ngai vetih a tholhnah te ka poek voel mahpawh.
And they do not teach any more Each his neighbour, and each his brother, Saying, Know ye Jehovah, For they all know Me, from their least unto their greatest, An affirmation of Jehovah; For I pardon their iniquity, And of their sin I make mention no more.

Thus said Jehovah, Who is giving the sun for a light by day, The statutes of moon and stars for a light by night, Quieting the sea when its billows roar, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name:

If these statutes depart from before Me, An affirmation of Jehovah, Even the seed of Israel doth cease From being a nation before Me all the days.

Thus said Jehovah: If the heavens above be measured, And the foundations of earth below searched, Even I kick against all the seed of Israel, For all that they have done, An affirmation of Jehovah.

And gone out again hath the measuring line Over-against it, unto the height of Gareb, And it hath compassed to Goah.
