Jeremiah 31
1 “At that time,” declares the LORD, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be My people.”
Te vaengkah a tue ah BOEIPA kah olphong om coeng. Israel cako boeih kah Pathen la ka om vetih amih te kamah taengah pilnam la om uh ni.
2 This is what the LORD says: “The people who survived the sword found favor in the wilderness when Israel went to find rest.”
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Cunghang kah a caknoi pilnam tah khosoek ah mikdaithen la a hmuh vetih Israel amah te hoep ham ni a pongpa eh.
3 The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you with loving devotion.
BOEIPA tah kai taengah daengrhae daengkhoi la ha phoe coeng dongah kumhal kah lungnah neh nang kan lungnah tih sitlohnah neh nang kan dangrhoek tangloeng coeng.
4 Again I will build you, and you will be rebuilt, O Virgin Israel. Again you will take up your tambourines and go out in joyful dancing.
Israel oila nang te koep kan thoh vetih na thoo bitni. Na kamrhing te koep na oi vetih lamnah dongah na luem doela na pawk bitni.
5 Again you will plant vineyards on the hills of Samaria; the farmers will plant and enjoy the fruit.
Samaria tlang ah misur koep na phung te a phung, a phung uh vetih a poek a yak uh ni.
6 For there will be a day when watchmen will call out on the hills of Ephraim, ‘Arise, let us go up to Zion, to the LORD our God!’”
Ephraim tlang kah aka dawn rhoek loh, “Thoo uh lamtah mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA taengah Zion la cet uh sih,” tila a hoe uh khohnin khaw om bitni.
7 For this is what the LORD says: “Sing with joy for Jacob; shout for the foremost of the nations! Make your praises heard, and say, ‘O LORD, save Your people, the remnant of Israel!’
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Jakob ham tamhoe uh lamtah kohoenah neh hlampan uh. Namtom boeilu te yaak sak lamtah a thangthen neh, “BOEIPA aw na pilnam Israel kah a meet te khang laeh,” ti saeh.
8 Behold, I will bring them from the land of the north and gather them from the farthest parts of the earth, including the blind and the lame, expectant mothers and women in labor. They will return as a great assembly!
Amih te tlangpuei khohmuen lamloh kang khuen coeng he. Te dongah amih te diklai a hlaep lamloh ka coi ni. Amih taengkah mikdael neh khokhaem khaw, aka vawn neh cacun khaw hlangping la muep ha mael uh rhenten ni.
9 They will come with weeping, and by their supplication I will lead them; I will make them walk beside streams of waters, on a level path where they will not stumble. For I am Israel’s Father, and Ephraim is My firstborn.”
Rhahnah neh ha pawk uh cakhaw amih huithuinah neh ka khuen ni. Amih te soklong tui ah ka pongpa puei vetih, a thuem longpuei ah paloe uh mahpawh. Israel taengah ana pa la ka om tih Ephriam te ka caming ni.
10 Hear, O nations, the word of the LORD, and proclaim it in distant coastlands: “The One who scattered Israel will gather them and keep them as a shepherd keeps his flock.
Namtom rhoek BOEIPA ol he hnatun uh. Khohla bangsang kah sanglak ah khaw puen uh lamtah Israel khuikah a thaekyak te thui pah. Anih te a coi vetih a tuping aka dawn bangla anih te a ngaithuen ni.
11 For the LORD has ransomed Jacob and redeemed him from the hand that had overpowered him.
BOEIPA loh Jakob te a lat tih anih lakah tlungluen kut lamloh a tlan coeng.
12 They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will be radiant over the bounty of the LORD— the grain, new wine, and oil, and the young of the flocks and herds. Their life will be like a well-watered garden, and never again will they languish.
Ha pawk uh vaengah Zion hmuensang ah tamhoe uh ni. BOEIPA kah thennah dongah, cangpai dongah, misur thai dongah, situi dongah, boiva neh saelhung ca dongah hlampan uh ni. A hingah te khosul dum bangla om vetih a kha koep ham koei mahpawh.
13 Then the maidens will rejoice with dancing, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into joy, and give them comfort and joy for their sorrow.
Te vaengah oila khaw tongpang neh patong taengah lamnah neh thikat la a kohoe ni. Amih kah nguekcoinah te omngaihnah la ka hoi pah vetih amih te ka hloep ni. Amih kah kothaenah yueng la amih ko ka hoe sak ni.
14 I will fill the souls of the priests abundantly, and will fill My people with My goodness,”
Khosoih rhoek kah hinglu te maehhloi neh ka sulpuem sak vetih ka pilnam khaw ka thennah neh cung uh ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
15 This is what the LORD says: “A voice is heard in Ramah, mourning and great weeping, Rachel weeping for her children, and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.”
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Ramah ah rhathinah ol a yaak. Rakhel tah a ca rhoek ham kosidung kah rhahnah neh rhap coeng. A ca rhoek a om pawt dongah kohlawt ham khaw a aal coeng.
16 This is what the LORD says: “Keep your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for the reward for your work will come, declares the LORD. Then your children will return from the land of the enemy.
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Na ol te rhahnah lamloh, na mik te khaw mikphi lamloh tuem laeh. BOEIPA kah olphong bangla na khoboe ham thapang om vetih thunkha khohmuen lamloh ha mael uh bitni.
17 So there is hope for your future, declares the LORD, and your children will return to their own land.
BOEIPA kah olphong bangla na hmailong ham ngaiuepnah om tangloeng coeng tih ca rhoek khaw a khorhi la mael uh bitni.
18 I have surely heard Ephraim’s moaning: ‘You disciplined me severely, like an untrained calf. Restore me, that I may return, for You are the LORD my God.
Ephraim kah a rhaehba te a yaak rhoela ka yaak coeng. Kai nan thuituen vaengah a phaep noek pawh vaitoca bangla n'thuituen coeng. Namah tah BOEIPA ka Pathen la na om dongah kai m'mael sak lamtah ka mael pawn eh.
19 After I returned, I repented; and after I was instructed, I struck my thigh in grief. I was ashamed and humiliated because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
Ka mael hnukah ni damti coeng. Ka hlit dongkah kutpaeng khaw ka ming phoeiah ni ka yah pueng. Ka camoe lamkah kokhahnah te ka phueih tih ka hmaithae coeng.
20 Is not Ephraim a precious son to Me, a delightful child? Though I often speak against him, I still remember him. Therefore My heart yearns for him; I have great compassion for him,”
Ephraim he kamah taengkah oingaih capa maco? Anih te ka thui dingdoeng vaengah khaw hlahmaenah camoe ni. Te dongah anih te ka poek rhoe ka poek pueng. Ka ko anih hamla umya tih anih te haidam rhoela ka haidam coeng. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
21 “Set up the roadmarks, establish the signposts. Keep the highway in mind, the road you have traveled. Return, O Virgin Israel, return to these cities of yours.
Namah ham pangkae te ling lamtah miknawt khaw namah ham khueh laeh. Longpuei lamhlawn te na lungbuei ah dueh lamtah pongpa rhoe pongpa laeh. Israel oila ha mael lamtah na khopuei ah he ha mael laeh.
22 How long will you wander, O faithless daughter? For the LORD has created a new thing in the land— a woman will shelter a man.”
Hnukmael canu te me hil nim na dongpam ve? BOEIPA loh diklai dongah a thai la a suen vetih huta tongpa loh a vael bitni.
23 This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “When I restore them from captivity, they will once again speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities: ‘May the LORD bless you, O righteous dwelling place, O holy mountain.’
Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. He ol he Judah kho khui neh a khopuei rhoek khuiah koep a thui uh vaengah amih khuikah thongtla te kai taengla ha mael ni. Duengnah tlang cim tolkhoeng dongkah BOEIPA loh nang n'uem nawn saeh.
24 And Judah and all its cities will dwell together in the land, the farmers and those who move with the flocks,
Te vaengah Judah amah neh a khopuei boeih ah tun kho a sak uh lopho khaw tuping neh ha hlah uh ni.
25 for I will refresh the weary soul and replenish all who are weak.”
Buhmueh rhathih kah a hinglu te ka sulpuem sak vetih aka kha kah hinglu te boeih ka cung sak ni.
26 At this I awoke and looked around. My sleep had been most pleasant to me.
Ka haenghang vaengah he khaw ka sawt tih ka ih khaw kai ham tui mai.
27 “The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and of beast.
BOEIPA kah olphong khohnin ha pawk coeng ke. Israel imkhui neh Judah imkhui khaw, hlang kah tiingan neh rhamsa kah tiingan khaw ka phul pueng ni.
28 Just as I watched over them to uproot and tear down, to demolish, destroy, and bring disaster, so I will watch over them to build and to plant,” declares the LORD.
Phuk ham neh phil ham khaw, koengloeng ham neh milh sak ham khaw, thaehuet ham khaw amih ka hak thil bangla thoeng van. Te dongah thoh ham neh phung ham khaw amih te ka hak thil ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
29 “In those days, it will no longer be said: ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the children are set on edge.’
Te khohnin ah tah, “A napa rhoek loh thaihkang a caak uh tih a ca rhoek a no yaa,” ti uh voel mahpawh.
30 Instead, each will die for his own iniquity. If anyone eats the sour grapes, his own teeth will be set on edge.
Tedae hlang he amah kathaesainah dongah ni a duek eh. Thaihkang aka ca hlang boeih tah a no yaa ni.
31 Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
BOEIPA kah olphong khohnin tah ha pawk coeng ke. Israel imkhui taeng neh Judah imkhui taengah paipi thai ka saii ni.
32 It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt— a covenant they broke, though I was a husband to them,”
Egypt kho lamloh amih khuen ham a kut ah ka talong khohnin vaengkah a napa rhoek neh ka saii paipi bang te moenih. Amih loh ka paipi he phae cakhaw kai amih te ka yuunah ngawn ta. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
33 “But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD. I will put My law in their minds and inscribe it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.
Tedae paipi he Israel imkhui neh ka saii phoeikah khohnin ah tah ka olkhueng he amih kotak khuiah ka paek vetih a lungbuei ah ka daek pah ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Amih taengah Pathen la ka om vetih amih khaw kamah taengah pilnam la om uh ni.
34 No longer will each man teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”
Hlang loh a hui te koep tukkil uh pawt vetih hlang loh a manuca te, “BOEIPA te ming laeh,” ti nah mahpawh. Amih te tanoe lamloh kangham duela kai boeih m'ming uh ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Amih kathaesainah te khodawk ka ngai vetih a tholhnah te ka poek voel mahpawh.
35 Thus says the LORD, who gives the sun for light by day, who sets in order the moon and stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—the LORD of Hosts is His name:
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Khothaih kah vangnah ham khomik, khoyin kah vangnah ham hla neh aisi kah khosing khaw a khueh. Tuitunli te a kueng tih a tuiphu khaw kawk coeng. A ming tah caempuei BOEIPA ni.
36 “Only if this fixed order departed from My presence, declares the LORD, would Israel’s descendants ever cease to be a nation before Me.”
He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Oltlueh he ka mikhmuh lamloh khum koinih hnin takuem ka mikhmuh ah namtu la aka om Israel tiingan khaw kangkuen uh ni.
37 This is what the LORD says: “Only if the heavens above could be measured and the foundations of the earth below searched out would I reject all of Israel’s descendants because of all they have done,”
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Vaan ke a so la a nueh uh thai tih diklai a yung hmui duela a khe uh thai mak atah Israel kah tiingan boeih te a saii cungkuem dongah ka hnawt van bitni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
38 “The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when this city will be rebuilt for Me, from the tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.
BOEIPA kah olphong khohnin ha pawk coeng ke. Te vaengah bangkil vongka kah Hananel rhaltoengim lamloh BOEIPA ham khopuei a thoh ni.
39 The measuring line will once again stretch out straight to the hill of Gareb and then turn toward Goah.
Gareb som te a hmai la rhilam rhui sen a toe thil vetih Goah duela a vael ni.
40 The whole valley of the dead bodies and ashes, and all the fields as far as the Kidron Valley, to the corner of the Horse Gate to the east, will be holy to the LORD. It will never again be uprooted or demolished.”
Rhok neh maehhloi aka om tuikol boeih, lohmali neh hmangrhong boeih khaw, Kidron soklong neh khothoeng kah marhang vongka bangkil duela BOEIPA ham hmuencim la om ni. Kumhal duela koep kuel pawt vetih koengloeng voel mahpawh.
