Jeremiah 10
1 Hear ye the word which Jehovah speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
Oe Isarel imthungkhunaw, BAWIPA ni nang koe a dei e thai haw.
2 thus saith Jehovah, Learn not the way of the nations, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the nations are dismayed at them.
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.
3 For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe.
Taminaw e a phunglam teh ayawmyin doeh, tami buet touh ni ratu thing a tâtueng teh, kutsakkathoum ni a sak teh,
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
sui ngun hoi a pathoup awh teh, a kâhuet hoeh nahanelah, sum hoi cakkin hoi king a tâhet awh.
5 They are like a palm-tree, of turned work, and speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good.
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.
6 There is none like unto thee, O Jehovah; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
Oe BAWIPA, nang patetlah e apihai awm hoeh. Nang teh na len tangak, na min hai thaonae hoi a lentoe tangak.
7 Who should not fear thee, O King of the nations? for to thee doth it appertain; forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like unto thee.
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.
8 But they are together brutish and foolish: the instruction of idols! it is but a stock.
Ahnimouh teh abuemlahoi panuenae awm hoeh a pathu awh. Hottelah ayawmyin lah kaawm e thingmeikaphawk koehoi a cang awh.
9 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 skilful men.
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.
10 But Jehovah is the true God; he is the living God, and an everlasting King: at his wrath the earth trembleth, and the nations are not able to abide his indignation.
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.
11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.
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.
12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding hath he stretched out the heavens.
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.
13 When he uttereth his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries.
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.
14 Every man is become brutish [and is] without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his graven image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
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.
15 They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Aphu awm hoeh, dumyennae thaw lah doeh ao, rek lah ao awh toteh, he a kahma awh han.
16 The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
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.
17 Gather up thy wares out of the land, O thou that abidest in the siege.
Nangmouh rapan thung kaawmnaw uknaeram dawk kaawm e na hnonaw hah pâkhueng leih.
18 For thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel [it].
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.
19 Woe is me because of my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is [my] grief, and I must bear it.
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.
20 My tent is destroyed, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth from me, and they are not: there is none to spread my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
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.
21 For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not inquired of Jehovah: therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered.
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.
22 The voice of tidings, behold, it cometh, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling-place of jackals.
Khenhaw! atunglae ram koehoi runae kalenpui Judah khopuinaw kingdi sak vaiteh, kahrawnguinaw onae lah o sak nahane pawlawk a kamthang.
23 O Jehovah, I know that the way of man is not in himself; it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
Aw, BAWIPA tami hringnae heh amae nahoeh, tie ka panue, tami ni a khok takannae lam hai amae nahoeh.
24 O Jehovah, correct me, but in measure; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
BAWIPA, kai heh na lungkhuek laihoi laipalah, lannae hoi na pathoup haw telah nahoeh pawiteh, na kahmat sak langvaih.
25 Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name; for they have devoured Jacob, yea, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.
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.
