Jeremiah 17
1 Monsom ka hring e thingkung koevah, ahnimae khoungroe hoi thingmeikaphawk hah a catounnaw ni a pouk awh lahun nah,
Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and will lean his arm of flesh upon him, while his heart departs from the Lord.
2 Judah yonnae teh sumcacung hoi thut lah ao teh, talung phukaawm pâsu hoi ahnimae lungthin phen dawk tarik lah ao teh, khoungroe ki dawk hai tarik lah ao.
3 Ram thung e kaie mon, ram thung pueng na yonnae dawkvah, na bawinae hoi na tawnta na pâtung e râw pueng taran kut dawk ka poe han.
4 Na sak payonnae dawkvah, kai ni na poe e râw koehoi ka takhoe han toe. Na panue boihoeh e ram taran kut dawk san na toung sak han. Ka lungkhueknae hmai teh a kaman sak toe.
5 Tami kâuep teh a lungthung vah BAWIPA koehoi kangheng e tami teh thoebo e lah ao.
6 Ahni teh thingyeiyawn dawk thingke patetlah ao vaiteh, kahawi hno ka tho nakunghai hmawt mahoeh, ka ke e tanghling talai apinihai a ohoehnae palawi talai hmuen koe ahni teh ao han.
And he shall be as the wild tamarisk in the desert: he shall not see when good comes; but he shall dwell in barren [places], and in the wilderness, in a salt land which is not inhabited.
7 Hatei, BAWIPA kâuep niteh, ama dawkvah, ngaiuepnae katawnnaw teh a yawhawi.
But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord shall be.
8 Ahni teh tuirai vah ung e thing, tui ao nah koevah a tangpha ka payang e hoi a kâvan. Khokang nakunghai takinae awm hoeh, a hna hai hringsuepcalah pou ao. Khokang kum hai lungpuennae tawn hoeh, a paw hai sarut boihoeh.
And he shall be as a thriving tree by the waters, and he shall cast forth his root toward a moist place: he shall not fear when heat comes, and there shall be upon him shady branches: he shall not fear in a year of drought, and he shall not fail to bear fruit.
9 Lungthin teh bangpueng hlak hai huenghai kaawm poung e abuemlahoi kahawihoehe doeh. Apinimaw a panue thai han.
The heart is deep beyond all things, and it is the man, and who can know him?
10 A nuencang hoi tawksaknae patetlah poe hanlah kai BAWIPA teh pouknae a tanouk teh lungthin ka pakhingpalang kung lah ka o.
I the Lord try the hearts, and prove the reins, to give to every one according to his ways, and according to the fruits of his devices.
11 Ka lan hoeh lah hnopai ka tawnta e tami teh, bakoum ni amae a tadui hoeh e a awt e patetlah ao. A roung lahun navah a roedeng vaiteh, apoutnae koe teh tami pathu lah ao han.
The partridge utters her voice, she gathers [eggs] which she did not lay; [so is a man] gaining his wealth unjustly; in the midst of his days [his riches] shall leave him, and at his latter end he will be a fool.
12 Apuengcue hoi rasangpoung lah kaawm bawitungkhung teh mamae hmuen kathoung lah ao.
An exalted throne of glory is our sanctuary.
13 Oe! BAWIPA, Isarelnaw ni kângaiuep e, nang kapahnawtnaw pueng yeirai a po awh han. Kai kamlang takhai e pueng teh, vaiphu dawk ca thut e patetlah ao awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA hringnae tuiphuek a ceitakhai awh.
O Lord, the hope of Israel, let all that have left thee be ashamed, let them that have revolted be written on the earth, because they have forsaken the fountain of life, the Lord.
14 Oe! BAWIPA na hawi sak haw, pawiteh ka hawi han, na rungngang haw ka hlout han, kai ni nang doeh na pholen.
Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved; for thou art my boast.
15 Ahnimouh ni kai koevah, BAWIPA e lawk teh namaw ao, atuvah kuep sak haw, na ti pouh awh.
Behold, they say to me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come.
16 Na hnukkâbang e tukhoumkung lah ka onae koehoi ka roun mahoeh. Hawihoehnae hnin a pha hane hai ka ngai hoeh. Ka tâcawt e lawk hah na panue teh na hmalah ao.
But I have not been weary of following thee, nor have I desired the day of man; thou knowest; the [words] that proceed out of my lips are before thy face.
17 Kai hanelah taki kawi lah awm hanh, ronae a pha navah nang teh kai ni kângue e hmuen doeh.
Be not to me a stranger, [but] spare me in the evil day.
18 Kai na ka rektapnaw hah yeiraipo awh naseh, hatei kai teh yeirai na po sak hanh, ahnimanaw teh yawng awh naseh, hatei kai teh, na yawng sak hanh. Ahnimanaw van vah ronae phat sak nateh, let hni touh hoi ahnimouh lathueng phat sak haw.
Let them that persecute me be ashamed, but let me not be ashamed: let them be alarmed, but let me not be alarmed: bring upon them the evil day, crush them with double destruction.
19 BAWIPA ni kai koevah hettelah a dei, cet nateh taminaw e kho rapan longkha, Judah siangpahrangnaw a tâco kâen koevah, Jerusalem rapan longkha pueng koe kangdout haw.
Thus saith the Lord; Go and stand in the gates of the children of thy people, by which the kings of Juda enter, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem:
20 Ahnimanaw koevah, kâen tâcawt e taminaw pueng hoi Judah siangpahrangnaw pueng voi, BAWIPA lawk teh thai awh haw.
and thou shalt say to them, Hear the word of the Lord, ye kings of Juda, and all Judea, and all Jerusalem, [all] who go in at these gates:
21 BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, sabbath hnin hnori na phu hoeh nahan, Jerusalem na kâenkhai hoeh nahan kâhruetcuet awh.
thus saith the Lord; Take heed to your souls, and take up no burdens on the sabbath-day, and go not forth [through] the gates of Jerusalem;
22 Na imthungkhu hoi hnori sin awh hanh. Sabbath hnin vah thaw tawk awh hanh, na mintoenaw koevah kâ ka poe tangcoung patetlah sabbath hnin vah kathoungcalah ya awh.
and carry forth no burdens out of your houses on the sabbath-day, and ye shall do no work: sanctify the sabbath-day, as I commanded your fathers.
23 Hatei, ahnimouh ni a thai ngai awh hoeh teh, a hnâ hai pakeng awh hoeh, a lungpata sak awh teh, ka patounnae lawk hah thai awh hoeh, dâw ngai awh hoeh.
But they hearkened not, and inclined not their ear, but stiffened their neck more than their fathers [did], so as not to hear me, and not to receive correction.
24 BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, hatei nangmouh ni ka lawk na ngai awh hoeh. Sabbath hnin vah hete rapan longkha koehoi hnokari hah na sin awh hoehpawiteh, thaw na tawk awh laipalah sabbath hnin hah kathoungcalah na ya awh pawiteh,
And it shall come to pass, if ye will hearken to me, saith the Lord, to carry in no burdens through the gates of this city on the sabbath-day, and to sanctify the sabbath-day, so as to do no work [upon it],
25 Devit e bawitungkhung dawkvah, ka tahung e leng hoi marang kâcui e, siangpahrangnaw ni hete rapan longkhanaw dawk hoi a bawinaw hoi a kâen awh han. Ahnimouh hoi bawinaw ni Judah taminaw hoi Jerusalem vah kho kasaknaw hoi, hete khopui thung vah a yungyoe na o awh han.
that there shall enter through the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on the throne of David, and riding on their chariots and horses, they, and their princes, the men of Juda, and the dwellers in Jerusalem: and this city shall be inhabited for ever.
26 Judah khonaw hoi Jerusalem tengpam khonaw hoi Benjamin ram hoi akalae ram hoi mon lae ram hoi, Negeb ram koehoi taminaw a tho awh vaiteh, lunghawi thuengnae hah BAWIPA im a poe awh han.
And [men] shall come out of the cities of Juda, and from round about Jerusalem, and out of the land of Benjamin, and out of the plain country, and from the hill country, and from the south [country], bringing whole-burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, and incense, and manna, and frankincense, bringing praise to the house of the Lord.
27 Sabbath hnin kathoungcalah a ya awh teh, sabbath hnin vah Jerusalem rapan longkhanaw koehoi hnori phu laihoi kâen hoeh nahanelah a dei e hah na ngai awh hoehpawiteh, Jerusalem rapan longkhanaw koevah, kadout thai hoeh e hmai ka tâco sak vaiteh, Jerusalem siangpahrang im a kak vaiteh roum mahoeh toe.
But it shall come to pass, if ye will not hearken to me to sanctify the sabbath-day, to bear no burdens, nor go in [with them by] the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath-day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the streets of Jerusalem, and shall not be quenched.
