Jeremiah 30
1 Jeremiah koe BAWIPA e lawk ka tho e teh:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 Isarel BAWIPA Cathut ni hettelah a dei, nang koe ka dei e lawknaw pueng hah cauk dawk thut.
“[I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [say they belong to], am telling you that you should write down everything that I have said to you.
3 Bangkongtetpawiteh, khenhaw! ka tami Isarelnaw hoi Judahnaw hah santoungnae koehoi bout ka bankhainae hnin a pha han telah BAWIPA ni a dei. A na mintoenaw koe ka poe e ram dawk ka bankhai vaiteh haw vah kho a sak awh han telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
[I want you to know that] some day I will free my people, [the people of] Israel and Judah, from being slaves [in Babylon]. I will bring them back to this land that I gave to their ancestors, and this land will belong to them again. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
4 Hahoi, Judah hoi Isarel kong dawk BAWIPA ni dei e lawk teh hethah doeh.
Yahweh gave [to me] another message concerning [the people of] Israel and Judah.
5 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, roumnae laipalah takinae hoi pâyawnae pawlawk ka thai.
This is what he said: “I hear people screaming because they are terrified [DOU]; there is no peace [in the land].
6 Pacei awh nateh khenhaw! tongpa ni camokhenae a khang boimaw. Bangkongmaw napui ni camokhenae a khang e patetlah tongpa ni a keng tâdue teh minhmai a kamthim.
But think about this: Men certainly do not [RHQ] give birth to babies. Therefore, why do strong men stand there, with their faces very white/pale, with their hands pressed against their stomachs, like women who are about to give birth to babies?
7 Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote hnin teh a len tangngak, hot patetlah awm boihoeh. Jakop runae hnin roeroe doeh. Hatei ahnimanaw teh hote hmuen koehoi rungngang lah ao han.
[Terrible things will soon happen]; that will be a terrible day! There has never been such a time. It will be a time when [my] Israeli people will experience great trouble, but [finally] they will be saved [from their sufferings].”
8 Hote hnin dawk teh hettelah ao han, a kahnam hah kâkhoe vaiteh arui ka bouk pouh han. Ram alouknaw ni san lah bout awm sak mahoeh toe.
The Commander of the armies of angels says this: “At that time [it will be as though] I will sever/cut the ropes [that are around my people], and I will free them from being (slaves/forced to do what the King of Babylon wants them to do) [MET]. People in other countries will no longer be their bosses.
9 Hatei, BAWIPA Cathut hoi siangpahrang hanlah ka kangdue sak hane Devit e thaw tawk awh han toe.
My people will [again] serve me, Yahweh, their God, and [they will serve a king who is a descendant of] King David; [they will serve the king] whom I will appoint for them.
10 Hatdawkvah oe, ka san Jakop, taket roeroe hanh, oe Isarel na lungpuen hanh, telah BAWIPA ni a dei. Bangkongtetpawiteh khenhaw! lamhlapoungnae koe santoungnae hmuen koehoi na catounnaw heh ka rungngang han. Jakop a ban vaiteh karoumcalah a kâhat han, apinihai lungpuennae poe mahoeh toe.
So, [you people of] Israel who serve me, do not be dismayed/worried [now], because [some day] I will bring you back from distant places; I will bring your descendants [back home] from the land to which they were exiled. [Then you] Israeli people will [again] live peacefully and safely, and there will not be any [nation] that will cause you to be terrified.
11 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang rungngang hanlah nang koe ka o, na kâkaheinae ram, miphunnaw hah ka pout sak nakunghai nang teh abuemlahoi he na poutsak mahoeh. Hatei lannae hoi na cangkhai vaiteh rek laipalah teh na awm mahoeh telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
I, Yahweh, say that I will be with you and will rescue you; I will completely destroy the nations to which I have scattered you. But I will not completely destroy you. I will punish you [for your many sins], but I will punish you [only] as severely as you deserve: I would be doing wrong if I did not punish you at all.”
12 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, na patawnae teh ka dam thai hoeh e doeh, na hmâ teh a nung poung.
Yahweh [also] says this: “[You have (suffered very much/endured many disasters)]; [it is as though] you have a terrible wound that cannot be cured.
13 Ahni kabawmkung awm hoeh, dam nahane tâsi hai bout awm hoeh.
There is no one to help you, no one to put a bandage on your wound. There is no [medicine that will] heal you.
14 A kâuep e naw ni a pahnim awh teh banglahai noutna awh hoeh toe. Na taran patetlah hmâ na casak teh patuep laipalah na rek toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh na yonnae naw apap teh na yonnae yikkawi.
All your allies [MET] have deserted you and they do not want to help you [any more]. [It is true that] I have punished you severely, [like your] enemies would wound you, because you have committed many sins and you are very guilty.
15 Bangkongmaw, na hmâ dawk na khuika. Na lungmathoenae teh damsak thai lah awm hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na sak payonnae apap teh na yonnae akawi dawkvah hete hnonaw na lathueng vah ka sak.
[Because that is true], why do you protest about my punishing you, [as though I had caused] a wound that could not be cured [RHQ]? It was necessary for me to punish you, because you had committed many sins and you were very guilty.
16 Hatdawkvah, nang na kacatnaw pueng ca lah o awh van vaiteh, nang na ka tarannaw pueng koe san a toung awh han. Nang ka raphoe e teh raphoe lah ao vaiteh, nang kaman e taminaw pueng man lah ao han.
But [some day] all those who [are trying to] destroy you will be destroyed; all your enemies will be exiled [to other nations]. All those who have stolen things from you will have their [valuable] possessions stolen, and all those who attack you will be attacked.
17 Pahnawt e telah ati awh teh, apinihai banglahai ngai hoeh e Zion telah ati awh dawkvah, na hru ka damsak vaiteh na hmânaw pueng ka damsak han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
[Everyone] says that you are (outcasts/people that they no longer associate with), and that [you live in] Jerusalem, a city that no one cares about.” But Yahweh says, “I will heal your injuries/wounds and cause you to be healthy again.”
18 BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, khenhaw! Jakop lukkarei, santoungnae koe kaawm e hah ka bankhai han. Khosaknae hmuen hah ka pahren han. Siangpahrang im hai yampa e patetlah bout kangduesak han.
This is what Yahweh says: “I will bring the people of Israel back from the lands to which they were taken and enable them to possess their land and their houses again. [When that happens], Jerusalem will be rebuilt on top of its ruins, and the [king’s] palace will be rebuilt to be like it was before.
19 Lunghawilawkdeinae hoi nawmnae pawlawk teh hote hmuen koehoi a tâco han, a taminaw ka pungdaw sak vaiteh, youn mahoeh. Ahnimouh ka lentoesak vaiteh titcalah awm mahoeh.
People will [again] sing joyfully to thank [me], and I will cause there to be more people [in Jerusalem], not fewer; I will cause them to be honored, not despised.
20 A canaw hai ayan e patetlah o awh vaiteh ka hmalah kamkhueng vaiteh a cak awh han. Ahnimouh ka rek e taminaw teh ka rek han.
Their children will [prosper] like they did before. I will cause them to be a group of people [who worship] me, and I will punish any [nation] that oppresses them.
21 Bari kaawm e tami hah amamouh thung hoi a tâco vaiteh khobawi hai amamouh thung dawk hoi a tâco han. Ahni ni na hnai hanlah ka dei pouh vaiteh, ahni ni na hnai han. Bangkongtetpawiteh kai hnai hanlah a lungthin dawk lawk ka kam pouh e hah apimaw, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
One of their own people will be their king, and I will invite him to come close to me [to worship me], because no one [RHQ] would (dare/have courage) to come close to me [if I did not invite him].
22 Ka tami lah na o awh vaiteh, kai teh nangmae Cathut lah ka o han, telah a ti.
You [Israeli people] will be my people, and I will be your God.”
23 Khenhaw! BAWIPA e kahlîkathout, kalenpounge a lungkhueknae kahlîkathout a tho vaiteh, tamikathoutnaw e lû a palek pouh han.
Yahweh will punish [MTY] [your enemies]; [it will be like a great] storm; it will come down [like] a whirlwind, swirling around the heads of wicked people.
24 Lungthin hoi a kâcai e hah akuepsak teh a cum totouh, ka hring e BAWIPA lungkhueknae teh bout ban mahoeh toe. A hnukteng hnin dawkvah hetnaw teh na thaipanuek awh han telah ati.
He will not stop being angry until he completely accomplishes [all] that he has planned. In the future, you will understand [all] of this [clearly].
