Jeremiah 16
1 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
BOEIPA ol he kai taengla ha pawk tih,
2 “You must not marry or have sons or daughters in this place.”
“Na yuu lo boeh. Nang ham canu capa khaw he hmuen ah om boel saeh,” a ti.
3 For this is what the LORD says concerning the sons and daughters born in this place, and the mothers who bore them, and the fathers who fathered them in this land:
He hmuen kah aka thaang canu kawng neh capa kawng khaw, amih aka cun a manu rhoek kawng neh he khohmuen ah amih aka sa a napa rhoek kawng he BOEIPA loh a thui.
4 “They will die from deadly diseases. They will not be mourned or buried, but will lie like dung on the ground. They will be finished off by sword and famine, and their corpses will become food for the birds of the air and beasts of the earth.”
Tlohtat kah dueknah dongah duek uh ni. Rhaengsae uh pawt vetih up uh mahpawh. Diklai hman ah aek bangla om uh ni. cunghang neh, khokha neh khap uh ni. A rhok te vaan kah vaa ham neh diklai rhamsa ham maeh la poeh ni.
5 Indeed, this is what the LORD says: “Do not enter a house where there is a funeral meal. Do not go to mourn or show sympathy, for I have removed from this people My peace, My loving devotion, and My compassion,” declares the LORD.
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Rhok im la kun boeh. Rhaengsae kung la cet boeh. Amih te suem boeh. Ka ngaimongnah, sitlohnah neh haidamnah khaw he pilnam taeng lamloh ka coi coeng. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
6 “Both great and small will die in this land. They will not be buried or mourned, nor will anyone cut himself or shave his head for them.
He khohmuen kah tanoe kangham khaw duek uh ni. Amih te up uh pawt vetih rhaengsae uh mahpawh. Amih ham te hlap pawt vetih kuet bal mahpawh.
7 No food will be offered to comfort those who mourn the dead; not even a cup of consolation will be given for the loss of a father or mother.
Duek dongah nguekcoinah neh anih aka hloep ham vaengah khaw amih ham tael uh mahpawh. A manu a napa pataeng hloephloeinah boengloeng khaw tul uh mahpawh.
8 You must not enter a house where there is feasting and sit down with them to eat and drink.
Buhkoknah im kah amih taengah ngol ham, caak ham neh ok ham khaw kun boeh.
9 For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I am going to remove from this place, before your very eyes and in your days, the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of the bride and bridegroom.
Israel Pathen Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Na mikhmuh kah hmuen ah he namamih tue vaengah tah omngaihnah ol neh, kohoenah ol, yulo ol neh, vasa ol neh kai loh kan duem sak.
10 When you tell these people all these things, they will ask you, ‘Why has the LORD pronounced all this great disaster against us? What is our guilt? What is the sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?’
He kah ol boeih he pilnam taengah he puen pah. Te vaengah nang te, 'Balae tih BOEIPA loh he yoethae tanglue cungkuem neh kaimih taengah a cal? Kaimih kathaesainah te banim? Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA taengah mebang tholhnah nen nim ka tholh uh,” a ti uh ni.
11 Then you are to answer them: ‘It is because your fathers have forsaken Me, declares the LORD, and followed other gods, and served and worshiped them. They abandoned Me and did not keep My instruction.
Te vaengah amih te, “He he BOEIPA kah olphong ni, na pa rhoek loh kai n'hnoo uh tih pathen tloe rhoek hnukah pongpa uh. Amih taengah tho a thueng uh tih a bawk uh. Kai he n'hnoo uh tih ka olkhueng te tuem uh pawh.
12 And you have done more evil than your fathers. See how each of you follows the stubbornness of his evil heart instead of obeying Me.
Nangmih te na pa rhoek lakah a thae na saii uh. Hlang boeih loh a lungbuei thae kah thinthahnah hnukah na pongpa uh tih ka ol na hnatun uh moenih te.
13 So I will cast you out of this land into a land that neither you nor your fathers have known. There you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.’
Te dongah nangmih te he khohmuen dong lamloh namamih neh na pa rhoek loh na ming pawh khohmuen la kan hut ni. Te vaengah khoyin khothaih Pathen tloe taengah tho na thueng uh vetih nangmih taengah kolonah ka khueh mahpawh.
14 Yet behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when they will no longer say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of Egypt.’
Te dongah BOEIPA kah olphong khohnin ha pawk coeng ke. Te vaengah Egypt diklai lamloh Israel ca rhoek aka khuen he hingnah BOEIPA ni ti voel mahpawt nim?
15 Instead they will say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north and all the other lands to which He had banished them.’ For I will return them to their land that I gave to their forefathers.
Tedae hingnah BOEIPA lat loh Israel ca rhoek te tlangpuei khohmuen lamloh, amih a heh nah khohmuen tom lamloh a loh. A napa rhoek taengah ka paek a khohmuen la ka mael sak ni.
16 But for now I will send for many fishermen, declares the LORD, and they will catch them. After that I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them down on every mountain and hill, even from the clefts of the rocks.
He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Kai loh tuihoi, tuihoi muep kan tueih vetih amih te ka vaih ni. Te phoeiah savai muep ka tueih vetih amih te tlang tom dong lamloh, som tom lamloh, thaelrhaep thaelpang lamloh a vai uh ni.
17 For My eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from My face, and their guilt is not concealed from My eyes.
Amih kah longpuei boeih soah ah ka mik loh a dawn tih ka mikhmuh lamloh a thuh uh thai moenih. Te dongah amih kathaesainah te ka mikhmuh lamloh a thuh thai moenih.
18 And I will first repay them double their iniquity and their sin, because they have defiled My land with the carcasses of their detestable idols, and they have filled My inheritance with their abominations.”
Amih thaesainah neh a tholhnah te rhaepnit la ka thuung lamhma van ni. Amih kah sarhingkoi maehrhok neh ka khohmuen he a poeih uh tih ka rho te a tueilaehkoi neh a hah sakuh.
19 O LORD, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in the day of distress, the nations will come to You from the ends of the earth, and they will say, “Our fathers inherited nothing but lies, worthless idols of no benefit at all.
Ka sarhi neh ka lunghim, citcai khohnin ah ka thuhaelnah BOEIPA namah taengah diklai khobawt lamkah namtom rhoek ha pawk uh ni. Te vaengah a hong bueng te a thui vetih a pa rhoek te a honghi la pang uh cakhaw amih ham a hoeikhang moenih.
20 Can man make gods for himself? Such are not gods!”
Hlang loh amah ham pathen khaw a saii nim? Tedae te rhoek te pathen moenih.
21 “Therefore behold, I will inform them, and this time I will make them know My power and My might; then they will know that My name is the LORD.
Te dongah kai loh amih te tahae tue vaengah ka ming sak he. Ka kut neh ka thayung thamal he amih ka ming sak vetih kai ming Yahweh ni tila a ming uh bitni.
