< Jeremiah 33 >
1 BOEIPA ol tah Jeremiah taengah a pabae la pawk. Te vaengah amah te thongim vongup ah a khoh pueng.
And the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
2 BOEIPA loh he a thui. BOEIPA loh hno a saii tih cikngae sak ham a hlinsai. A ming he BOEIPA ni.
Thus hath said the Lord who doth this, the Lord that formeth it, to establish it: the Eternal is his name;
3 Kai he n'khue lamtah nang kan doo bitni. Nang taengah a len neh a cakrhuet la na ming pawt te khaw ka puen bitni.
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and I will tell thee great and unheard of things, which thou knowest not.
4 Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh tanglung neh cunghang dongah a voeih he khopuei kah im kawng neh Judah manghai im kawng he khaw a thui.
For thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by means of the mounds, and by means of the sword;
5 Khalden te vathoh thil ham neh hlang rhok te amih hah sak ham ha pawk coeng. Ka thintoek neh ka kosi ah ka ngawn ni. Amih kah boethae cungkuem ah he khopuei lamloh ka maelhmai ka thuh ni.
As they come to fight with the Chaldeans, but only to fill those with the corpses of the men whom I slay in my anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hidden my face from this city:
6 A taengah sadingnah neh hoeihnah ka khuen coeng he. Te dongah amih te ka hoeih sak vetih ngaimongnah neh oltak khobuhnah te amih taengah ka poelyoe sak ni.
Behold, I will bring it healing and cure, and I will cure them, and I will display unto them the abundance of peace and truth.
7 Judah thongtla rhoek neh Israel thongtla rhoek te ka mael puei vetih amih te lamhma kah bangla ka thoh ni.
And I will cause to return the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel, and I will build them up, as at the first.
8 Amih kathaesainah cungkuem lamloh amih te ka caihcil ni. Kai soah tholh uh cakhaw amih kathaesainah boeih te boeih khodawk ka ngai ni. Kai taengah tholh uh tih kai taengah boekoek uh cakhaw.
And I will cleanse them from all their guiltiness, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned toward me, and whereby they have transgressed against me.
9 Kamah taengah omngaihnah ming, koehnah la, diklai namtom boeih taengah boeimang la om ni. Amih ham hnothen ka saii boeih te a yaak uh coeng. Te dongah anih ham ka saii hnothen cungkuem neh ngaimongnah cungkuem dongah birhih uh vetih tlai uh ni.
And it shall be to me for a name of gladness, a praise and an honor with all the nations of the earth, who will hear all the good that I am doing unto them: and they shall dread and tremble because of all the good and because of all the happiness that I prepare unto it.
10 BOEIPA loh he ni a thui, he hmuen ah koep a yaak bitni. Nangmih te, “A kaksap la, Judah khopuei ah hlang om pawt tih rhamsa om pawh, Jerusalem vongvoel ah pong coeng, hlang om pawh, khosa om pawh, rhamsa khaw om pawh,” a ti lah ko.
Thus hath said the Lord, Yet again shall there be heard in this place, of which ye say, “It is ruined, without man and without beast” [[[even] in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast, ]]
11 '''Omngaihnah ol neh kohoenah ol, yulokung ol neh vasakung ol, BOEIPA im kah uemonah aka pawk puei rhoek, a sitlohnah kumhal ham neh BOEIPA a then dongah caempuei BOEIPA te uem uh,’ a ti ol neh lum bitni. Khohmuen thongtla te hnukbuet kah bangla ka mael puei,” tila BOEIPA loh a thui.
The voice of gladness, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of those that say, “Give thanks unto the Lord of hosts; for the Lord is good; because to eternity endureth his kindness:” of those that bring thanksgiving-offering unto the house of the Lord. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the Lord.
12 Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Hlang neh rhamsa neh om pawt cakhaw a khopuei boeih kah boiva aka dawn kah tolkhoeng ah aka kol boiva neh a kaksap la he hmuen ah koep om bitni.
Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Yet again shall there be in this place, which is ruined, without man and even without beast, and in all its cities, a habitation of shepherds who cause their flocks to lie down.
13 “Tlang kah khopuei ah, kolrhawk khopuei ah khaw, tuithim khopuei ah, Benjamin khohmuen ah, Jerusalem kaepvai ah, Judah khopuei rhoek ah khaw, boiva he aka tae kah kut dongah koep pongpa ni,” tila BOEIPA loh a thui.
In the cities of the mountain, in the cities of the lowlands, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the environs of Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks yet pass again under the hands of him that counteth them, saith the Lord.
14 BOEIPA kah olphong khohnin ha pawk coeng he. Israel imkhui neh Judah imkhui taengah ol then ka thui te ka thoeng sak ni.
Behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will fulfill that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and respecting the house of Judah.
15 Te khohnin neh a tue vaengah David kah duengnah a dawn te ka duei sak vetih khohmuen ah tiktamnah neh duengnah a saii ni.
In those days, and at that time, will I cause to grow up unto David the sprout of righteousness: and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.
16 Te khohnin ah Judah te daem vetih Jerusalem khaw ngaikhuek la om ni. Te te mamih kah duengnah BOEIPA la a khue ni.
In those days shall Judah be helped, and Jerusalem shall dwell in safety: and this is what she shall be called, The Lord is our righteousness.
17 Te dongah BOEIPA loh,” Israel im kah ngolkhoel dongah aka ngol David kah hlang pat mahpawh,” a ti.
For thus hath said the Lord, There shall never be wanting unto David a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
18 Ka mikhmuh kah Levi khosoih rhoek ham khaw hlang he pat mahpawh. Hmueihhlutnah aka khuen neh khocang aka phum khaw hnin takuem ah hmueih a khueh uh ni.
And unto the priests the Levites there shall not be wanting a man before me, to offer burnt-offerings, and to burn meat-offerings, and to prepare sacrifices at all times.
19 Te phoeiah BOEIPA ol he Jeremiah taengla koep ha pawk tih,
And the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah, saying,
20 “BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Khothaih kah ka paipi neh khoyin kah ka paipi he na phae koinih amah tue vaengkah khoyin neh khothaih ah thoeng tangloeng mahpawt nim?
Thus hath said the Lord, If ye can break my covenant with the day, and my covenant with the night, and so, that there be not day and night in their season:
21 Ka sal David taengkah ka paipi he khaw a taengah aka om tih a ngolkhoel dongah aka manghai a ca rhoek lamloh, kai aka khut Levi khosoih rhoek taeng lamloh pat mahpawh.
Then also shall my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and [that] with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
22 Vaan kah caempuei te tae lek pawt tih tuipuei laivin he a loeng lek moenih. Ka sal David kah tiingan neh kai aka khut Levi rhoek he khaw ka ping sak van ni,” a ti.
As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, and the sand of the sea not be measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.
23 BOEIPA ol he Jeremiah taengla koep ha pawk tih,
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
24 “He pilnam he balae ti khaw hmu uh pawt nim? A thui vaengah tah, 'BOEIPA loh amih huiko panit te a coelh dae koep a hnawt,’ a ti uh. Amih mikhmuh kah namtom aka om lamloh ka pilnam te a tlaitlaek uh,” a ti.
Hast thou not observed what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the Lord hath made choice of, even these hath he rejected: and they [thus] have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
25 BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Khoyin neh khothaih kah ka paipi pawt koinih vaan neh diklai kah khosing khaw ka khueh mahpawh.
Thus hath said the Lord, If my covenant be not with day and night, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth:
26 Abraham, Isaak neh Jakob kah tiingan aka taemrhai ham Jakob kah tiingan neh ka sal David kah a tiingan lamloh tuek te khaw ka paa ni. Amih khuikah thongtla te ka mael rhoe ka mael puei vetih amih te ka haidam pueng ni.
Then also will I reject the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so as not to take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.
