Jeremiah 16
1 Hathnukkhu, BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
The word of YHWH came also to me, saying,
2 yu na lat mahoeh, hete hmuen koevah, canaw na tawn mahoeh.
"You shall not take a wife, neither shall you have sons or daughters, in this place.
3 Hete hmuen koe khe e canaw hoi a manu na pa kong dawk BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei,
For thus says YHWH concerning the sons and concerning the daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who became their father in this land:
4 ahnimanaw teh Lacik hoi a due awh han, Hotnaw hah apinihai kapkhai mahoeh, pakawm mahoeh, vaipuen talai dawk eitaboung patetlah a yan awh han. Tahloi hoi takangnae hoi a due awh han. Ahnimae ronaw teh kalvan e tava hoi moithangnaw hane rawca lah ao han.
They shall die grievous deaths: they shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried; they shall be as dung on the surface of the ground; and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the sky, and for the animals of the earth.
5 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, ro im cet hanh, lungpahawi hanelah hai cet hanh, ama hai khui hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hete taminaw koehoi lungmawngnae, pahrennae lungmanae he ka la pouh toe telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
For thus says YHWH, 'Do not enter into the house of mourning, neither go to lament, neither bemoan them; for I have taken away my peace from this people, says YHWH, even loving kindness and tender mercies.
6 Hete ram dawk tami kalen kathoung hai a due awh han. Apinihai pakawm mahoeh, apinihai khui mahoeh. Apinihai a mahoima kâbouk mahoeh, a sam hai ngaw mahoeh.
Both great and small shall die in this land; they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them;
7 Ro karingkungnaw hoi kapakawpnaw lungpahawi hanelah rawca apinihai thak pouh mahoeh. Ka dout e a na pa hoi a manu han patenghai thak pouh mahoeh. Ahnimouh lungpahawi hanelah apinihai tui boehai poe mahoeh.
neither shall men break bread for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
8 Hatdawkvah, caneinae im dawk kâen hanh, ahnimouh hoi cungtalah tahung hanh, cat hanh.
You shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and to drink.
9 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ransahu BAWIPA Isarel Cathut ni hettelah a dei, nangmouh mithmu hoi na hring na thung vah lunghawilawknaw hah ka roum sak vaiteh, yuvâ kâpaluennae lawk hai hete hmuen koe ka roum sak han.
For thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel: Look, I will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.
10 Hete lawknaw pueng hah hete taminaw koevah na dei pouh navah hotnaw ni, bangmaw BAWIPA ni hettelah totouh kahawihoeh poung e hno hah a dei vai. Bang hno maw sakpayon awh, BAWIPA kaimae Cathut koe vah bang yonnae maw ka sak awh, tet awh pawiteh,
It shall happen, when you shall show this people all these words, and they shall tell you, 'Why has YHWH pronounced all this great evil against us? Or what is our iniquity? Or what is our sin that we have committed against YHWH our God?'
11 hettelah na dei pouh han, na mintoenaw ni kai na hnoun awh teh, alouke cathutnaw hnuk a kâbang awh teh, ahnimae thaw a tawk pouh awh. Kai na hnoun awh teh, kaie kâlawk hai tarawi awh hoeh.
Then you shall tell them, 'Because your fathers have forsaken me, says YHWH, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshiped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;
12 Nangmouh hai na mintoenaw hlak hoe na thoe hnawn awh. Khenhaw! kaie lawk ngai laipalah tami pueng ni amamae lungpouk patetlah koung a cei awh.
and you have done evil more than your fathers; for, look, you walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that you do not listen to me:
13 Hatdawkvah, kai ni hete ram thung hoi nangmouh hoi na mintoenaw ni na panue boihoeh e ram koe lah na pâlei awh han, hote hmuen koe vah karum khodai alouke cathutnaw e thaw na tawk awh han. Kai ni nangmouh hah na pasai awh mahoeh.
therefore I will cast you forth out of this land into the land that you have not known, neither you nor your fathers; and there you shall serve other gods day and night; for I will show you no favor.'
14 Hatei, Isarel taminaw Izip ram hoi na kahrawikung, BAWIPA teh a hring dawkvah telah taminaw ni a dei awh hoeh nahanelah, a hnin teh a pha lahun, telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
Therefore look, the days come," says YHWH, "that it shall no more be said, 'As YHWH lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;'
15 Hatei taminaw ni, atunglae ram hoi ahnimouh a hreknae ramnaw pueng thung hoi Isarelnaw kahrawikung BAWIPA teh a hring tangngak dawkvah ati awh han. Ahnimouh teh kai ni a na mintoenaw koevah, ka poe e ram thung bout ka o sak awh han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
but, 'As YHWH lives, who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries where he had driven them.' I will bring them again into their land that I gave to their fathers.
16 Hatei, atu teh tangakamankungnaw moikapap ka kaw vaiteh, ahnimouh ni a man awh han. Hahoi kai ni moi ka kathoumnaw moikapap ka kaw vaiteh, monrui hoi montam hoi talungkâko totouh a ka awh han.
Look, I will send for many fishermen," says YHWH, "and they shall fish them up; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks.
17 Ahnimae lamthung pueng hah ka mit ni pheng a hmu, kai koe hoi kâhrawk thai awh mahoeh, ahnimae yonnae hai ka mithmu hoi hro thai lah awm mahoeh.
For my eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from my face, neither is their iniquity concealed from my eyes.
18 Amamae thoenae hoi yonnae dawkvah, let hni hoi ka pathung han, ahnimouh ni ka ram hah panuettho e ro hoi a kamhnawng sak awh teh, panuetthonae ni ka coe e ram dawk a kawi sak telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
First I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled my inheritance with their abominations."
19 Oe BAWIPA ka thaonae hoi ka rapan, kângairu nah kângue e hoi talai apoutnae koehoi Jentelnaw nang koe a tho awh han. Mintoenaw ni laithoe, cungkeihoehe hno, ayawmyin hno hoeh laipalah banghai a pang awh hane râw awm hoeh.
"YHWH, my strength, and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, to you shall the nations come from the farthest parts of the earth, and shall say, 'Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, vanity and things in which there is no profit.
20 Tami ni ama hanlah cathut lah kaawm hoeh e cathut hah a sak han na maw.
Shall a man make to himself gods, which yet are no gods?'"
21 Hatdawkvah, kai ni hotnaw hah ka panue sak han. Ka kut hoi hnotithainae ka panue sak vaiteh, ka min hah Jehovah doeh tie a panue awh han.
"Therefore look, I will cause them to know, this once will I cause them to know my hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is YHWH.
