< Jeremiah 33 >

1 While Jeremiah was still confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the LORD came to him a second time:
Jeremiah thongim thung paung o naah, Angraeng ih lok anih khaeah angzoh let;
2 “Thus says the LORD who made the earth, the LORD who formed it and established it, the LORD is His name:
long sahkung Angraeng, Angraeng mah ni hmuen boih to sak moe, caksak; anih ih ahmin loe Angraeng, tiah oh.
3 Call to Me, and I will answer and show you great and unsearchable things you do not know.
Na kawk oh, kang pathim o han; na panoek o ai ih, kalen parai hmuennawk to kang thuih o han, tiah a thuih.
4 For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says about the houses of this city and the palaces of the kings of Judah that have been torn down for defense against the siege ramps and the sword:
Israel Sithaw, Angraeng mah, misa pakaahaih ahmuen, sumsen hoiah kamro hae vangpui thung ih im hoi Judah siangpahrang ih im kawng pongah hae tiah thuih;
5 The Chaldeans are coming to fight and to fill those places with the corpses of the men I will strike down in My anger and in My wrath. I have hidden My face from this city because of all its wickedness.
Khaldian kaminawk loe misatuk hanah angzoh o, toe hae ahmuen loe palung ka phuihaih, kanung parai palungphuihaih hoiah ka hum ih kami qok hoiah ni koi tih; Jerusalem kaminawk mah sak o ih sethaihnawk pongah hae vangpui hoiah mikhmai ka hawk ving boeh.
6 Nevertheless, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal its people and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.
Khenah, to tiah oh pacoengah nganprakhaih hoi ngantuihaih to kang sin han; nihcae to ngan ka tuisak moe, monghaih hoi loktang to kam tuengsak han.
7 I will restore Judah and Israel from captivity and will rebuild them as in former times.
Judah hoi Israel loe misong ohhaih thung hoiah kam laemsak moe, nihcae to tangsuek nathuem ih baktih toengah ka ohsak let han.
8 And I will cleanse them from all the iniquity they have committed against Me, and will forgive all their sins of rebellion against Me.
Ka nuiah a sak o ih zaehaihnawk to ka ciimsak boih han; kai misa ah ang suek o haih, zaehaihnawk to ka tahmen pae boih han boeh.
9 So this city will bring Me renown, joy, praise, and glory before all the nations of the earth, who will hear of all the good I do for it. They will tremble in awe because of all the goodness and prosperity that I will provide for it.
To naah hae vangpui loe kang hoehaih, long kaminawk boih hmaa ah pakoehhaih hoi saphawhaih ah om ueloe, hae vangpui han ka sak ih hoihaihnawk boih to panoek o tih boeh; hae vangpui ah ka sak ih hoihaih hoi khosak hoihaihnawk boih pongah, kaminawk mah zithaih hoi tasoehhaih doeh tawn o tih.
10 This is what the LORD says: In this place you say is a wasteland without man or beast, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem that are deserted—inhabited by neither man nor beast—there will be heard again
Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih: Nangcae mah, hae ahmuen loe pongsut boeh, kami hoi taw ih moi doeh om ai boeh, tiah na thuih o. Toe kami om ai, moi doeh om ai; Judah vangnawk loe angqai krang boeh, tiah na thuih o ih ahmuen hoi Jerusalem loklamnawk ah,
11 the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of the bride and bridegroom, and the voices of those bringing thank offerings into the house of the LORD, saying: ‘Give thanks to the LORD of Hosts, for the LORD is good; His loving devotion endures forever.’ For I will restore the land from captivity as in former times, says the LORD.
anghoehaih lok, oephaih lok, zu la kami hoi sava sah kaminawk ih lok thaih lethaih to om tih. Angraeng loe hoih, a palungnathaih loe zungzan khoek to cak poe pongah, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng to saphaw oh, tiah thui kaminawk ih lok, Angraeng im ah pakoehhaih hoi angbawnhaih sah kaminawk ih lok to thaih o let tih; misong ah kalaem prae kaminawk to tangsuek ih baktiah ka ohsak let han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
12 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: In this desolate place, without man or beast, and in all its cities, there will once more be pastures for shepherds to rest their flocks.
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw mah, Kami om ai, moi kasan doeh om ai ah kapong sut, hae ahmuen hoi vangpuinawk boih loe tuu toep kaminawk mah angmacae ih tuu pacahhaih ahmuen ah om let tih.
13 In the cities of the hill country, the foothills, and the Negev, in the land of Benjamin and the cities surrounding Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will again pass under the hands of the one who counts them, says the LORD.
Mae nui ih vangpui, azawn ih vangpui, aloih bang ih vangpui, Benjamin prae, Jerusalem taeng ih ahmuen, Judah vangpuinawk ah tuu toep kaminawk mah tuu pacah o let tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
14 Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will fulfill the gracious promise that I have spoken to the house of Israel and the house of Judah.
Khenah, Israel hoi Judah imthung takoh khaeah, kahoih hmuen sak hanah lokkam ih baktiah koephaih ni to om tih.
15 In those days and at that time I will cause to sprout for David a righteous Branch, and He will administer justice and righteousness in the land.
To ni hoi atue naah loe David thung hoiah toenghaih tanghang to ka tacawtsak han; anih loe toenghaih hoi kamsoem ah lokcaek tih.
16 In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell securely, and this is the name by which it will be called: The LORD Our Righteousness.
To na niah Judah to pahlong ueloe, Jerusalem loe kamongah om tih boeh; anih ih ahmin loe aicae toenghaih Angraeng, tiah kawk o tih.
17 For this is what the LORD says: David will never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel,
Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Israel imthung takoh ih angraeng tangkhang nuiah anghnu han koi David ih atii loe boeng thai mak ai;
18 nor will the priests who are Levites ever fail to have a man before Me to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings, and to present sacrifices.”
ka hmaa ah hmai angbawnhaih kasah, angbawnhaih moi hmai pakhaem, Levi acaeng qaimanawk doeh, boeng thai ai angbawnhaih to sak hanah kami vawt o sut mak ai, tiah a thuih.
19 And the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
Angraeng ih lok Jeremiah khaeah angzoh moe,
20 “This is what the LORD says: If you can break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that day and night cease to occupy their appointed time,
Angraeng mah, Ka suek ih khodai lokmaihaih hoi khoving lokmaihaih to na phraek o thaih moe, angmah ih atue ah khodai hoi khoving om ai naah ni,
21 then My covenant may also be broken with David My servant and with My ministers the Levites who are priests, so that David will not have a son to reign on his throne.
Ka tamna David hoi ka sak ih lokmaihaih to amro ueloe, David ih angraeng tangkhang nuiah anghnu han koi David ih caa doeh om mak ai.
22 As the hosts of heaven cannot be counted and as the sand on the seashore cannot be measured, so too will I multiply the descendants of My servant David and the Levites who minister before Me.”
Van ih cakaehnawk loe kroek laek ai moe, tuipui ih savuet doeh tah laek thai ai baktih toengah, ka tamna David ih atii hoi ka hmaa ah toksah Levi kaminawk to kang pungsak han, tiah thuih.
23 Moreover, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
Angraeng ih lok Jeremiah khaeah angzoh,
24 “Have you not noticed what these people are saying: ‘The LORD has rejected the two families He had chosen’? So they despise My people and no longer regard them as a nation.
Angraeng mah qoih ih imthong hnetto loe vah ving boeh, tiah prae kalah kaminawk mah thuih o ih lok to na thaih maw? Nihcae mah kai ih acaengnawk to acaeng kami ai baktiah khet patoek o boeh.
25 This is what the LORD says: If I have not established My covenant with the day and the night and the fixed order of heaven and earth,
Angraeng mah, Jeremiah Kai loe khodai hoi khoving hanah lok ka maihaih to ka phrae ai, van hoi long mah lok tahngai hanah ukhaih dan doeh ka caksak.
26 then I would also reject the descendants of Jacob and of My servant David, so as not to take from his descendants rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will restore them from captivity and will have compassion on them.”
To pongah Abraham, Issac hoi Jacob ih caanawk to ka va ving mak ai; Jacob ih caa hoi ka tamna David ih caanawk loe nihcae ukkung siangpahrang ah om o poe tih, tiah lok ka maihaih doeh ka phrae mak ai; nihcae to misong hoi kam laemsak let han, nihcae nuiah tahmenhaih ka tawnh han boeh, tiah a thuih.
