Jeremiah 6
1 Jerusalem khui lamkah Benjamin ca rhoek bakuep uh. Tekoa ah tuki ueng uh lamtah Bethhakkerem ah cangpaiso tong saeh. Yoethaenah neh pocinah tanglue te tlangpuei lamkah ha moe coeng.
Flee for safety, ye children of Benjamin, out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and raise up a signal on Beth-haccherem; for evil looketh forth from the north, and a great destruction.
2 Rhoeprhui neh a pang aka dok Zion nu khaw ka hmata sak ni.
The comely and delicate one, the daughter of Zion, will I cut off.
3 Boiva aka dawn rhoek te a tuping neh ha pawk uh ni. Dap a tuk thil uh vetih a kut dongkah hlang tah a kaepvai ah luem uh ni.
Shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place.
4 A taengah hoep uh laeh, caemtloek la thoo uh laeh. Khothun ah khaw cet uh sih. Anunae, mamih ham tah khothaih loh kaeng uh coeng tih hlaemhmah khokhawn khaw puh coeng.
Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day declineth, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
5 Thoo uh khoyin ah cet uh sih lamtah a impuei rhoek phae uh sih.
Arise, and let us go up by night, and let us destroy her palaces.
6 Te dongah Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Thing rholong te saih uh lamtah Jerusalem te tanglung khueng thil uh. Khopuei he cawh saeh, a boeih la a khui ah hnaemtaeknah ni aka om.
For thus hath Jehovah of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.
7 Tuito ah tuito tui a phuet bangla a boethae khaw phuet tangkhuet. Kuthlahnah neh rhoelrhanah loh a khuiah ya uh rhoi tih ka mikhmuh ah tlohtat neh hmasoe neh om taitu.
As a well casteth forth its waters, so she casteth forth her wickedness: violence and destruction is heard in her; before me continually is sickness and wounds.
8 Jerusalem nang n'thuituen coeng. Ka hinglu he nang lamloh a hoeng uh ve ne. Nang te khohmuen khopong neh khosa a om pawt la kang khueh ve.
Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from thee; lest I make thee a desolation, a land not inhabited.
9 Tangkhuet la caempuei BOEIPA loh, “Israel kah a meet te misur bangla poelyoe khaw poelyoe mai saeh. Thaihbom aka yun bangla na kut thuung laeh.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn again thy hand as a grape-gatherer into the baskets.
10 U taengah nim ka thui vetih ka hih daengah a yaak uh eh? Amih hna ngun rhoek loh a hnatung ham a coeng uh moenih ke. BOEIPA ol he amih taengah om dae ta kokhahnah bangla a khuiah naem uh pawh.
To whom shall I speak and testify, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of Jehovah is become unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.
11 Tedae BOEIPA kah kosi he ka hah coeng tih cangbam ham ka ngak coeng. Tollong kah camoe soah lun laeh. Tongpang rhoek kah baecenol dongah a yuu neh va khaw, patong neh khohnin aka cup te khaw rhenten a tuuk ni.
Therefore I am full of the wrath of Jehovah; I am weary with holding in: pour it out upon the children in the street, and upon the assembly of young men together; for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.
12 A im lo neh a yuu rhoek te a tloe taengla rhenten a mael pah ni. Diklai khosa rhoek te ka kut ka thueng thil coeng. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
And their houses shall be turned unto others, their fields and their wives together; for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith Jehovah.
13 Amih te tanoe lamloh kangham due mueluemnah neh boeih a mueluem. Tonghma neh khosoih te khaw a honghi aka saii kak ni.
For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
14 Ka pilnam kah pocinah aka hoeih sak long khaw vapsa la sadingnah sadingnah a ti tih sadingnah om pawh.
They have healed also the hurt of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
15 Tueilaehkoi la a saii uh te yak uh nim. Yak khaw yak uh pawt tih hmaithae khaw ming uh pawh. Te dongah amih ka cawh hnin ah tah aka cungku te a cungku thil uh vetih paloe uh ni. He tah BOEIPA long ni a thui.
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall; at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith Jehovah.
16 BOEIPA loh, “Longpuei ah pai lamtah hmu van lah. Khosuen kah a hawn te menim dawt lah. Te longpuei then ah pongpa lamtah na hinglu ham duemnah hmu lah,” a ti lalah, “Ka pongpa uh mahpawh,” a ti uh.
Thus saith Jehovah, Stand ye in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way; and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls: but they said, We will not walk [therein].
17 “Nang soah rhaltawt la ka pai sak coeng, tuki ol te hnatung uh,” a ti lalah, “Ka hnatung uh mahpawh,” a ti uh.
And I set watchmen over you, [saying], Hearken to the sound of the trumpet; but they said, We will not hearken.
18 Te dongah namtom rhoek loh ya lamtah amih taengkah laipai te khaw ming lah.
Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.
19 Diklai long khaw ya laeh. Amamih kopoek kah a thaih te he pilnam soah kai loh yoethae la ka thoeng sak coeng he. Ka ol he hnatung uh pawt tih ka olkhueng khaw a hnawt uh.
Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it.
20 Sheba lamkah aka thoeng hmueihtui, khohla bangsang kho kah cup then te kai ham ba lam lae a om? Nangmih kah hmueihhlutnah dongah kolonah khaw om pawt tih nangmih kah hmueih te kai taengah a tui moenih.
To what purpose cometh there to me frankincense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt-offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices pleasing unto me.
21 Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “He pilnam taengah kai loh hmuitoel ka khueh pah. A soah ah paloe vetih a napa rhoek neh a ca rhoek khaw, imben neh a hui khaw milh rhoela rhenten milh uh ni,” a ti.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will lay stumbling-blocks before this people; and the fathers and the sons together shall stumble against them; the neighbor and his friend shall perish.
22 BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Tlangpuei kho lamkah pilnam ha pawk he, diklai tlanghlaep lamkah namtom pilnu haenghang coeng.
Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, a people cometh from the north country; and a great nation shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.
23 A muenying muenyang la lii neh soe a muk uh tih a haidam khaw khueh uh pawh. A ol mah tuitunli bangla kawk. Zion nu nang taengah caemtloek hlang bangla marhang dongah ngol tih rhong a pai coeng.
They lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea, and they ride upon horses, every one set in array, as a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Zion.
24 A thang n'yaak uh vaengah mamih kut kha coeng. Citcai loh ca-om bungtloh bangla mamih ng'kolek.
We have heard the report thereof; our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, [and] pangs as of a woman in travail.
25 Lohma la mop rhoe mop boeh. Longpuei ah khaw cet rhoe cet boeh. Thunkha kah cunghang kaepvai ah rhihnah la om.
Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy, [and] terror, are on every side.
26 Ka pilnam tanu loh tlamhni bai lamtah hmaiphu dongah bol laeh. Oingaih cangloeng kah nguekcoinah te namah ham saii laeh. Mamih soah aka rhoelrhak loh buengrhuet ha pai dongah rhaengsaelung neh kosi ngawn dung coeng.
O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for the destroyer shall suddenly come upon us.
27 Ka pilnam ham lungnoek la nang kang khueh. Te daengah ni hmuencak te na ming vetih amih kah longpuei te na loepdak eh.
I have made thee a trier [and] a fortress among my people; that thou mayest know and try their way.
28 Amih boeih te thinthah neh taengphael uh tih caemtuh neh pongpa uh. Amih rhohum neh thicung he khaw boeih muei.
They are all grievous revolters, going about with slanders; they are brass and iron: they all of them deal corruptly.
29 Hmaiphawt khaw amamih kah hmai dongah tlum coeng tih kawnlawk khaw hmai dongah hma coeng. A poeyoek la a cil a cil uh tih a boethae tah cing hae pawh.
The bellows blow fiercely; the lead is consumed of the fire: in vain do they go on refining; for the wicked are not plucked away.
30 BOEIPA loh amih te a hnawt coeng dongah amih te cak hnawt la a khue uh.
Refuse silver shall men call them, because Jehovah hath rejected them.
