Jeremiah 13
1 This is what the LORD said to me: “Go and buy yourself a linen loincloth and put it around your waist, but do not let it touch water.”
Angraeng mah kai khaeah hae tiah ang thuih; Caeh ah loe, puu ngan kazii to la ah; na kaengah zaeng ah, tui suisak hmah, tiah ang naa.
2 So I bought a loincloth as the LORD had instructed me, and I put it around my waist.
Angraeng ih lok baktih toengah, kazii to ka lak moe, kaeng ah ka zaeng.
3 Then the word of the LORD came to me a second time:
To pacoengah Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh let,
4 “Take the loincloth that you bought and are wearing, and go at once to Perath and hide it there in a crevice of the rocks.”
kaeng ah nang zaeng ih kazii to lah loe, angthawk ah, Euphrates vapui ah caeh loe, thlungkhaw thungah hawk ah, tiah ang naa.
5 So I went and hid it at Perath, as the LORD had commanded me.
To pongah Angraeng mah ang thuih ih lok baktih toengah, ka caeh moe, Euphrates vapui taengah ka hawk.
6 Many days later the LORD said to me, “Arise, go to Perath, and get the loincloth that I commanded you to hide there.”
Ni paroeai akra pacoengah, Angraeng mah kai khaeah, Angthawk ah, Euphrates vapui ah caeh loe, kazii to la ah, tiah ang naa.
7 So I went to Perath and dug up the loincloth, and I took it from the place where I had hidden it. But now it was ruined—of no use at all.
Euphrates ah ka caeh, ka takaeh moe, ka hawkhaih ahmuen hoiah kazii to ka lak let; khenah, kazii loe hmawn ving boeh moe, patoh thai ai boeh.
8 Then the word of the LORD came to me:
To pacoengah Angraeng ih lok to kai khaeah angzoh,
9 “This is what the LORD says: In the same way I will ruin the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem.
Judah hoi Jerusalem amoekhaih loe to tiah kam rosak han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
10 These evil people, who refuse to listen to My words, who follow the stubbornness of their own hearts, and who go after other gods to serve and worship them, they will be like this loincloth—of no use at all.
Hae ih kahoih ai kaminawk, ka lok tahngaih koeh ai kaminawk, angmacae ih palung mah thuih ih lok baktiah caeh kaminawk, a toksak pae hanah kalah sithawnawk hnukah bang moe, krang bok hanah caeh kaminawk loe tidoeh avang ai, hae kazii baktiah om o tih.
11 For just as a loincloth clings to a man’s waist, so I have made the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah cling to Me, declares the LORD, so that they might be My people for My renown and praise and glory. But they did not listen.
Kazii loe kami ih kaengah zaeng baktih toengah, Israel imthung takoh hoi Judah imthung takohnawk boih mah, kai ih acaeng, kai ih ahmin, ka lensawkhaih hoi ka hmin pakoeh ah oh o thai hanah, kaimah khaeah kang zaeng, toe nihcae mah ka lok hae tahngai o ai.
12 Therefore you are to tell them that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Every wineskin shall be filled with wine.’ And when they reply, ‘Don’t we surely know that every wineskin should be filled with wine?’
To pongah pailang to misurtui hoiah koi o sak ah, tiah thuih ih lok to nihcae khaeah thui paeh, tiah Israel Angraeng Sithaw mah ang naa: to naah nihcae mah, Pailang to misurtui hoi koisak boih han angaih, tiah panoek ai kami ah maw ka oh o? tiah na naa o nahaeloe,
13 then you are to tell them that this is what the LORD says: ‘I am going to fill with drunkenness all who live in this land—the kings who sit on David’s throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the people of Jerusalem.
nihcae khaeah, khenah, hae prae thungah kaom kami boih, David ih angraeng tangkhang nuiah anghnu siangpahrangnawk boih, qaimanawk, tahmaanawk hoi Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk boih, mu ka paquisak moe,
14 I will smash them against one another, fathers and sons alike, declares the LORD. I will allow no mercy or pity or compassion to keep Me from destroying them.’”
maeto hoi maeto kang daengsak han, ampanawk hoi acaanawk doeh nawnto ka vah han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih; ka tahmen mak ai, ka pathlung mak ai, palungnathaih tawn ai ah, nihcae to ka hum han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
15 Listen and give heed. Do not be arrogant, for the LORD has spoken.
Tahngai oh loe, naa to patueng oh; amoek o hmah; Angraeng mah lokthuih boeh.
16 Give glory to the LORD your God before He brings darkness, before your feet stumble on the dusky mountains. You wait for light, but He turns it into deep gloom and thick darkness.
Khoving moe, khoving maenawk nuiah khok na ae o ai nathuem, aanghaih na zing o moe, anih mah aanghaih to duekhaih tahlip ah omsak ai nathuem, anghmang kathok khoving ah angcoengsak ai nathuem ah, Angraeng na Sithaw to pakoeh oh.
17 But if you do not listen, I will weep in secret because of your pride. My eyes will overflow with tears, because the LORD’s flock has been taken captive.
Toe na tahngai o ai nahaeloe, nam oek o haih pongah kamtueng ai ahmuen ah ka hinghaih to qah khing tih; Angraeng ih tuunawk to misong ah caeh o haih ving boeh pongah, palungnat hoiah ka qah ueloe, mikkhraetui longhaih hoiah ka om tih boeh.
18 Say to the king and to the queen mother: “Take a lowly seat, for your glorious crowns have fallen from your heads.”
Siangpahrang hoi siangpahrang zu khaeah, na thacakhaih hoi na lensawkhaih sui lumuek loe, na lu nui hoiah krah tih boeh.
19 The cities of the Negev have been shut tight, and no one can open them. All Judah has been carried into exile, wholly taken captive.
Aloih bang ih vangpuinawk loe khaa o tih, mi mah doeh paong mak ai; Judah acaeng boih misong ah hoi o tih; misong ah caeh o haih boih tih.
20 Lift up your eyes and see those coming from the north. Where is the flock entrusted to you, the sheep that were your pride?
Dan o tahang ah loe, aluek bang hoiah angzo kaminawk to khen ah; nang khaeah kang paek ih kranghoih tuunawk loe naa ah maw oh o boih?
21 What will you say when He sets over you close allies whom you yourself trained? Will not pangs of anguish grip you, as they do a woman in labor?
Na nuiah ukkung ah oh moe, nangmah hoi nawnto amyok hanah, nihcae to na patuk pongah, Angraeng mah dan ang paek naah kawbangmaw na thuih han? Nongpata mah ca tapen tom nathuem ih kana baktiah na pauep mak ai maw?
22 And if you ask yourself, “Why has this happened to me?” It is because of the magnitude of your iniquity that your skirts have been stripped off and your body has been exposed.
Tipongah maw hae hmuennawk hae ka nuiah oh? tiah na thuih nahaeloe, na zaehaih pongah ni, na canghnak to angthlaeh moe, na khoknawk to amtueng, tiah panoek ah.
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Neither are you able to do good— you who are accustomed to doing evil.
Ethiopia kami mah a nganhin amkhraih thai maw? To tiah ai boeh loe kaithlaeng mah ahin rong amkhraih thai maw? Amkhrai thaih nahaeloe, kahoih ai hmuen sah zong nangcae doeh, kahoih hmuen to na sah o thai tih, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
24 “I will scatter you like chaff driven by the desert wind.
To pongah praezaek ih takhi mah canghii hmuh phaeng baktih toengah, nangcae to kang haehsak boih han.
25 This is your lot, the portion I have measured to you,” declares the LORD, “because you have forgotten Me and trusted in falsehood.
Kai nang pahnet moe, amsawnlok to na tang pongah, nang han kang tah pae ih na taham loe to tiah oh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
26 So I will pull your skirts up over your face, that your shame may be seen.
Azathaih na panoek hanah na canghnak to mikhmai khoek to kang thlaeh pae tahang han.
27 Your adulteries and lustful neighings, your shameless prostitution on the hills and in the fields— I have seen your detestable acts. Woe to you, O Jerusalem! How long will you remain unclean?”
Zu sava nuiah na sak ih nongpa nongpata zaehaih, na cukhaih, tangyat zawhhaih, azawn ih maesomnawk nuiah na sak ih panuet thok hmuennawk to ka hnuk boeh. Aw Jerusalem, khosak na bing boeh! Ciimcai ai ah nasetto maw na oh han vop? tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
