Jeremiah 10
1 Oe Isarel imthungkhunaw, BAWIPA ni nang koe a dei e thai haw.
Hear the word which YHWH speaks to you, house of Israel.
2 BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, Jentelnaw e nuencang out hanh awh, kalvan hoi mitnoutnae kaawm nakunghai taket awh hanh. Jentelnaw teh hot patet lae hah a taki awh.
Thus says YHWH, "Do not learn the way of the nations, and do not be dismayed at the signs of the sky; for the nations are dismayed at them.
3 Taminaw e a phunglam teh ayawmyin doeh, tami buet touh ni ratu thing a tâtueng teh, kutsakkathoum ni a sak teh,
For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe.
4 sui ngun hoi a pathoup awh teh, a kâhuet hoeh nahanelah, sum hoi cakkin hoi king a tâhet awh.
They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it not move.
5 Samtuekung patetlah a kangdue teh, lawk dei thai hoeh, cet hai cet thai hoeh, hrawm lah hrawm a ngai. Hotnaw hah taket awh hanh, rucatnae banghai na poe thai hoeh, hawinae hai banghai sak thai hoeh.
They are like a palm tree, of turned work, and do not speak: they must be carried, because they can't go. Do not be afraid of them; for they can't do evil, neither is it in them to do good."
6 Oe BAWIPA, nang patetlah e apihai awm hoeh. Nang teh na len tangak, na min hai thaonae hoi a lentoe tangak.
"There is none like you, YHWH; you are great, and your name is great in might.
7 Nang teh, bari laipalah apimaw kaawm han. Oe miphun pueng e siangpahrang, hetheh nang na kamcunae roeroe doeh. Miphunnaw thung hoi thoseh, lungkaang pueng thung hoi thoseh, ahnimae ram thung pueng dawk hoi thoseh, nang patetlae api buet touh hai awm hoeh.
Who should not fear you, King of the nations? For it appertains to you; because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like you.
8 Ahnimouh teh abuemlahoi panuenae awm hoeh a pathu awh. Hottelah ayawmyin lah kaawm e thingmeikaphawk koehoi a cang awh.
But they are together brutish and foolish, the instruction of idols. It is but wood.
9 Ngun dêi e hah Tarshish hoi a sin awh teh, sui hah Uphaz hoi a sin awh. Kutsakkathoumnaw ni sak e, suihlunkathoumnaw ni dêi e, khohnanaw dawkvah, âthi hoi paling e kutsakkathoumnaw ni a sak e seng doeh.
There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artificer and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple for their clothing; they are all the work of skillful men.
10 Hote BAWIPA teh Cathut katang doeh, ahni teh kahring Cathut yungyoe siangpahrang lah ao. A lungkhuek nah talai a kâhuet teh, miphun pueng ni a lungkhueknae khang thai awh hoeh.
But YHWH is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembles, and the nations are not able to withstand his indignation.
11 Hetheh dei pouh awh, kalvan hoi talai ka sak hoeh e, cathutnaw heh, talai van hoi kalvan rahim hoi bat a kahma awh han, telah ati.
You shall say this to them: 'The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.'
12 Hatei, Cathut ni thaonae hoi talai heh a sak, a thoum lungangnae hoi talaivan heh a caksak teh a panuenae hoi kalvan hah a sak.
He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens:
13 Khoparit lawk a tho nah, kalvan e tuinaw hah pawlawk a cai, talai poutnae koehoi tâmai a tâco sak. Sumpapalik teh kho a rak sak teh hnoim thung dawk hoi kahlî a tho sak.
when he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the farthest parts of the earth; he makes lightnings for the rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasuries.
14 Tami pueng ni bang a panue awh hoeh dawk panuenae tawn awh hoeh, suihlunkathoumnaw ni hai a dei awh e hah a kayakhai. Ahnimouh ni a thuk awh e meikaphawk hah teh, ayawmyin pui doeh, kâha hai tawn awh hoeh.
Every man has become brutish and without knowledge; every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
15 Aphu awm hoeh, dumyennae thaw lah doeh ao, rek lah ao awh toteh, he a kahma awh han.
They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
16 Jakop ni a pang hanelah hetnaw patetlah awm awh mahoeh, bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni teh bangpueng kasakkung lah ao, Isarel heh râw lah ao teh, a min teh ransahu BAWIPA doeh.
The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; YHWH of hosts is his name."
17 Nangmouh rapan thung kaawmnaw uknaeram dawk kaawm e na hnonaw hah pâkhueng leih.
'Gather up your wares out of the land, you who live under siege.
18 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, atuvah, hete ram thung vah kaawm taminaw hah kai ni ka tâkhawng han, ahnimouh van vah kângairunae ka pha sak han.
For thus says YHWH, 'Look, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel it.'
19 Ka patawnae dawk yawthoe lah ka o. Hmâ ka ca e heh a patawpoung oe! Hatei, hetheh reknae doeh ka khang hanlah ao, ka ti rah.
Woe is me because of my hurt. My wound is grievous: but I said, 'Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it.'
20 Kaie rim teh a rawk teh, kaie ruinaw pueng koung a thouk toe. Ka capanaw hai kai koe hoi koung a cei awh teh, buet touh hai awm awh hoeh toe, kaie rim ka sak hane awm hoeh toe, ka o nahan ka sak hane hai awm hoeh.
My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth from me, and they are no more: there is none to spread my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
21 Tukhoumnaw hai bang panuek awh hoeh, BAWIPA koe pacei e hah panuek awh hoeh, hatdawkvah, a hmacawn awh hoeh, a tuhunaw koung a kâkayei awh han.
For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not inquired of YHWH: therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered.
22 Khenhaw! atunglae ram koehoi runae kalenpui Judah khopuinaw kingdi sak vaiteh, kahrawnguinaw onae lah o sak nahane pawlawk a kamthang.
The voice of news, look, it comes, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling place of jackals.
23 Aw, BAWIPA tami hringnae heh amae nahoeh, tie ka panue, tami ni a khok takannae lam hai amae nahoeh.
YHWH, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
24 BAWIPA, kai heh na lungkhuek laihoi laipalah, lannae hoi na pathoup haw telah nahoeh pawiteh, na kahmat sak langvaih.
YHWH, correct me, but in measure: not in your anger, lest you bring me to nothing.
25 Nang kapanuekhoehnaw hoi na min ka kaw hoeh e Jentel miphunnaw van vah, na lungkhueknae hah awi haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh ni Jakop hah he a ca awh. A khosaknae ram haiyah kingdi han.
Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not know you, and on the families that do not call on your name: for they have devoured Jacob, yes, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation."
