Jeremiah 13
1 BAWIPA ni kai koe hetheh a dei, cet nateh hnitaisom ran nateh kâyeng haw, hatei tui duk sak hanh, ati.
Thus says the Lord, Go and procure for yourself a linen girdle, and put it about your loins, and let it not be put in water.
2 Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni a dei e patetlah hnitaisom hah ka ran teh ka kâyeng.
So I procured the girdle according to the word of the Lord, and put it about my loins.
3 Hathnukkhu, BAWIPA e lawk teh apâhni kai koe bout a pha teh,
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
4 hnitaisom na ran e hah lat nateh, kâyeng laihoi Euphrates tui koe cet nateh, talung kâbawng e rahak vah hrawk haw, telah ati.
Take the girdle that is upon your loins, and arise, and go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.
5 Hatdawkvah, ka cei teh BAWIPA ni a dei e patetlah Euphrates tui teng vah ka hro.
So I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as the Lord commanded me.
6 Hnin moi a saw hnukkhu teh, BAWIPA ni kai koe vah, thaw nateh Euphrates tui koe cet nateh, hnitaisom na hro sak e hah bout lat leih na ti pouh.
And it came to pass after many days, that the Lord said to me, Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take thence the girdle, which I commanded you to hide there.
7 Hatdawkvah, Euphrates tui koe ka cei teh, ka hronae hmuen koe ka tai teh, bout ka la. Hatei, koung a hmawn toung dawkvah, hnopai hanlah awm hoeh toe.
So I went to the river Euphrates, and dug, and took the girdle out of the place where I [had] buried it: and, behold, it was rotten, utterly good for nothing.
8 Hathnukkhu BAWIPA e lawk teh kai koe a pha.
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Thus says the Lord,
9 BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, het patetlah Judahnaw kâoupnae hoi Jerusalem kâoupnae hah ka raphoe han.
Thus will I mar the pride of Juda, and the pride of Jerusalem;
10 Hete tamikayonnaw, ka lawk ka ngai hoeh e taminaw, amamae a lungpatanae patetlah ka cet ni teh, alouke cathutnaw ka bawk niteh, a thaw tawk pouh hanelah ka cet naw teh, hete hnitaisom patetlah lah ao awh. Hnopai hanlah awm awh mahoeh.
[even] this great pride [of the men] that will not listen to my words, and have gone after strange gods, to serve them, and to worship them: and they shall be as this girdle, which can be used for nothing.
11 Hnitaisom teh tami ni a keng dawk a kâyeng e patetlah Isarel imthungkhu hoi Judah imthungkhu naw pueng teh, ka taminaw, ka min kamthang sak hane hoi ka bawilen sak hanelah kai koe pou kârayen hanelah ka sak e lah ao eiteh, banglah noutna awh hoeh telah BAWIPA ni ati.
For as a girdle cleaves about the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave to myself the house of Israel, and the whole house of Juda; that they might be to me a famous people, and a praise, and a glory: but they did not listen to me.
12 Ahnimouh koe hete lawk heh na dei pouh han. BAWIPA Isarel Cathut ni vah hettelah a dei, Misur um pueng hah misur tui hoi kawi sak hanlah ao. Ahnimouh ni nang koevah, misur um teh misur tui hoi kawi sak hanlah ao tie hah ka panuek boi awh hoeh maw, telah ati awh han.
And you shall say to this people, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and it shall come to pass, if they shall say to you, Shall we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine? that you shall say to them,
13 Ahnimouh koevah, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Hete ram thung kaawm tami pueng Devit e bawitungkhung dawkvah, ka tahung siangpahrang pueng, vaihmanaw, profetnaw hoi Jerusalem vah kaawm taminaw pueng hah yamuhrinae hoi ka kawi sak han.
Thus says the Lord, Behold, I [will] fill the inhabitants of this land, and their kings the sons of David that sit upon their throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and Juda and all the dwellers in Jerusalem, with strong drink.
14 Kai ni amahoima buet touh hoi buet touh, a napanaw hoi a canaw hai ka kâhem sak han telah BAWIPA ni ati. Hottelae naw teh raphoe hoeh nahanlah pahren mahoeh, pâhlung mahoeh, lungma mahoeh, hatei, he ka raphoe han ati telah ati.
And I will scatter them a man and his brother, and their fathers and their sons together: I will not have compassion, says the Lord, and I will not spare, neither will I pity [to save them] from destruction.
15 Hnâpakeng nateh thai haw. Kâoup hanh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni lawk a dei toe.
Hear you, and give ear, and be not proud: for the Lord has spoken.
16 Hmonae a pha sak hoehnahlan, ka hmot e mon dawkvah na khok na kamthui hoehnahlan vah, BAWIPA na Cathut teh pholen haw. Angnae na tawng lahun nah duenae tâhlip a tâco sak teh, ka hmot e talung kâko lah a coung sak.
Give glory to the Lord your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and you shall wait for light, and behold the shadow of death, and they shall be brought into darkness.
17 Hete na ngai hoehpawiteh, nangmae na kâoupnae dawkvah, arulahoi ka ka han. BAWIPA e tuhunaw teh, san lah a hrawi awh han dawkvah, lungpataw lahoi ka ka vaiteh ka mitphi a bo han.
But if you will not listen, your soul shall weep in secret because of pride, and your eyes shall pour down tears, because the Lord's flock is sorely bruised.
18 Siangpahrang hoi siangpahrangnu koevah, na lû roi dawk e na bawilen bawilakhung hah a bo han toe. Hatdawkvah, na bawitungkhung dawk hoi kum roi leih, telah dei pouh.
Say you to the king and the princes, Humble yourselves, and sit down; for your crown of glory is removed from your head.
19 Negev khopuinaw taren awh vaiteh, ka paawng hane apihai awm mahoeh. Judahnaw pueng san lah, abuemlahoi koung a hrawi awh han.
The cities toward the south were shut, and there was none to open [them]: Juda is removed [into captivity, ]they have suffered a complete removal.
20 Na mit padai awh nateh, atunglah hoi kathonaw khenhaw, nangmouh koe na khoum sak e tuhu hoi ngai kaawm e tunaw hah namaw ao.
Lift up your eyes, O Jerusalem, and behold them that come from the north; where is the flock that was given you, the sheep of your glory?
21 Bawi hoi lû lah kaawm hane na cangkhai e ni, na rek toteh, bangne na dei han. Napui ca khe pataw e patetlah na man toteh, a pataw na ti han na vaiyaw.
What will you say when they shall visit you, for you did teach them lessons for rule against yourself; shall not pangs seize you as a woman in travail?
22 Bangkongmaw het patet e hno heh kai koe a pha vai, telah na mahoima hah kâpacei pawiteh, na yonnae naw apap poung dawk doeh toe, na hna a phawi awh teh tawngtai lah na o e a kamnue toe.
And if you should say in your heart, Therefore have these things happened to me? Because of the abundance of your iniquity have your skirts been discovered, that your heels might be exposed.
23 Ethiopianaw ni a vuen a kâthung thai maw. Kaisi ni a em a kâthung thai maw. Kâthung thai pawiteh, nangmouh kathout hno kasaknaw ni hai kahawi hno na sak thai awh han doeh.
If the Ethiopian shall change his skin, or the leopardess her spots, then shall you be able to do good, having learned evil.
24 Thingyei yawn dawk e kahlî ni cahik a palek e patetlah kai ni nangmouh teh be na kahei awh han.
So I scattered them as sticks carried by the wind into the wilderness.
25 Kai na hnoun awh teh, laithoe na kâuep awh dawkvah, hetheh na ham hanlah na pouk pouh e doeh toe, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
Thus is your lot, and the reward of your disobedience to me, says the Lord; as you did forget me, and trust in lies,
26 Na kayanae kamnue nahanelah, na hna teh na minhmai totouh kalip takhang han.
I also will expose your skirts upon your face, and your shame shall be seen;
27 Kahrawng hoi monnaw dawkvah, na uicuknae hoi na hounlounnae hram pawlawk hoi, na kâyonae, panuettho e na sak e hah ka hmu, Oe Jerusalem, na yaw a thoe. Atu totouh na thoung hoeh rah maw.
your adultery also, and your neighing, and the looseness of your fornication: on the hills and in the fields I have seen your abominations. Woe to you, O Jerusalem, for you have not been purified so as to follow me; how long yet [shall it be]?
