Jeremiah 7
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
BOEIPA taeng lamkah ol te Jeremiah taengla pawk tih,
2 “Stand in the gate of the house of the LORD and proclaim this message: Hear the word of the LORD, all you people of Judah who enter through these gates to worship the LORD.
‘BOEIPA im kah vongka ah pai lamtah he ol he pahoi doek laeh. Te vaengah BOEIPA taengah thothueng ham he kah vongka la aka pawk Judah pum te, ‘BOEIPA ol he ya uh,’ ti nah,” a ti.
3 Thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel: Correct your ways and deeds, and I will let you live in this place.
Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh, “Na longpuei neh na khoboe tlaih uh laeh. Te daengah ni hekah hmuen ah nangmih te om sak eh.
4 Do not trust in deceptive words, chanting: ‘This is the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD.’
Nangmih loh a hong ol dongah pangtung uh boeh. BOEIPA kah bawkim, BOEIPA kah bawkim, BOEIPA kah bawkim,” a ti uh.
5 For if you really correct your ways and deeds, if you act justly toward one another,
Na longpuei neh na khoboe te na tlaih la na tlaih atah, hlang laklo neh a hui laklo ah tiktamnah na saii la, na saii uh atah,
6 if you no longer oppress the foreigner and the fatherless and the widow, and if you no longer shed innocent blood in this place or follow other gods to your own harm,
Yinlai, cadah neh nuhmai hnaemtaek uh boel lamtah he hmuen ah ommongsitoe thii kingling uh boeh. Nangmih aka thae sak pathen tloe rhoek hnukah na pongpa pawt atah.
7 then I will let you live in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.
Na pa rhoek taengah khosuen lamloh kumhal duela ka paek khohmuen kah he hmuen ah nangmih kang om sak ni.
8 But look, you keep trusting in deceptive words to no avail.
Nangmih tah namamih ham aka hoeikhang pawh a hong ol dongah ni na pangtung uh te.
9 Will you steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to Baal, and follow other gods that you have not known,
Huen ham, ngawn ham neh samphaih ham nim a honghi neh na toemngam uh? Baal taengah na phum uh tih ming pawt pathen tloe rhoek hnukah na pongpa uh.
10 and then come and stand before Me in this house, which bears My Name, and say, ‘We are delivered, so we can continue with all these abominations’?
Kai ming la a khue he im khuikah ka mikhmuh la na pawk uh tih na pai uh vaengah, “He rhoek kah tueilaehkoi he boeih n'saii uh akhaw n'huul uh,” na ti uh.
11 Has this house, which bears My Name, become a den of robbers in your sight? Yes, I too have seen it, declares the LORD.
Ka ming aka phuei im he nangmih mik ah dingca kah lungko la poeh coeng a? Tedae kai loh kam hmuh coeng he,” a ti. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
12 But go now to the place in Shiloh where I first made a dwelling for My Name, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of My people Israel.
Te dongah Shiloh kah ka hmuen te paan uh laeh. Te ah tah ka ming om lamhma coeng dae ka pilnam Israel kah boethae kongah anih soah ka saii te hmuh uh lah.
13 And now, because you have done all these things, declares the LORD, and because I have spoken to you again and again but you would not listen, and I have called to you but you would not answer,
Te bibi te boeih na saii coeng dongah BOEIPA kah olphong bangla nang taengah kan thui. Na thoh hang vaengah ka thui dae na yaak moenih. Nangmih te kang khue dae nan doo uh moenih.
14 therefore what I did to Shiloh I will now do to the house that bears My Name, the house in which you trust, the place that I gave to you and your fathers.
Ka ming la a khue tih nangmih a khuiah na pangtung thil im te ka saii pueng ni. Nangmih taeng neh na pa rhoek taengah kam paek tangtae hmuen pataeng Shiloh taengkah bangla ka saii coeng.
15 And I will cast you out of My presence, just as I have cast out all your brothers, all the descendants of Ephraim.
Na manuca rhoek boeih neh Ephraim tiingan boeih khaw ka voeih bangla ka mikhmuh lamloh nangmih te kam voeih ni.
16 As for you, do not pray for these people, do not offer a plea or petition on their behalf, and do not beg Me, for I will not listen to you.
Te dongah nang tah he pilnam yueng thangthui boeh, amih ham tamlung neh thangthuinah khaw ludoeng pah boeh. Kai he nan doo pawt dongah nang ol aka ya la kai ka om moenih.
17 Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Judah loh khopuei neh Jerusalem tollong ah amih loh mebang a saii khaw na hmuh moenih a?
18 The sons gather wood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead the dough to make cakes for the Queen of Heaven; they pour out drink offerings to other gods to provoke Me to anger.
Ca rhoek loh thing a coi uh tih a napa rhoek loh hmai a toih uh. Manu rhoek loh vaan boeinu kah rhaibuh la saii pah ham vaidamtlam a nook uh. Kai aka veet hamla pathen tloe rhoek taengah tuisi a bueih.
19 But am I the One they are provoking? declares the LORD. Is it not themselves they spite, to their own shame?
Amih nim kai aka veet rhoek te. BOEIPA kah olphong ni he. A maelhmai ah yahpohnah aka om ham amih moenih a?
20 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, My anger and My fury will be poured out on this place, on man and beast, on the trees of the field and the produce of the land, and it will burn and not be extinguished.
Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Ka thintoek neh ka kosi tah he hmuen sokah hlang so neh rhamsa soah, khohmuen thingkung so neh diklai thaihtae soah bo coeng. Te long te a dom vetih thi mahpawh.
21 This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Add your burnt offerings to your other sacrifices and eat the meat yourselves!
Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh, “Na hmueihhlutnah neh na hmueih te koei lamtah a saa te ca nawn.
22 For when I brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt, I did not merely command them about burnt offerings and sacrifices,
Na pa rhoek te Egypt kho lamloh a khuen la ka khuen khohnin vaengah hmueihhlutnah neh hmueih kawng dongah amih te ol ka uen moenih.
23 but this is what I commanded them: Obey Me, and I will be your God, and you will be My people. You must walk in all the ways I have commanded you, so that it may go well with you.
Tedae amih te hekah ol he lat ka uen tih, “Ka ol he hnatun uh lamtah nangmih kah Pathen la ka om bitni. Nangmih khaw ka pilnam la om uh. Nangmih kang uen longpuei ah boeih pongpa uh lamtah nangmih taengah voelphoeng van saeh,” ka ti.
24 Yet they did not listen or incline their ear, but they followed the stubborn inclinations of their own evil hearts. They went backward and not forward.
Tedae hnatun uh pawt tih a hna te kaeng uh pawh. A lungbuei boethae kah thinthahnah dongah cilkhih te a paan uh tih a hnuk a hmai pawt ah khaw om uh.
25 From the day your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have sent you all My servants the prophets again and again.
Egypt kho lamkah na pa rhoek aka pawk uh hnin lamloh tihnin duela nangmih taengah ka sal rhoek boeih kan tueih. Tonghma rhoek te hnin takuem a thoh hang neh kan tueih coeng.
26 Yet they would not listen to Me or incline their ear, but they stiffened their necks and did more evil than their fathers.
Tedae kai ol te ya uh pawt tih a hna te kaeng uh pawh. A rhawn a mangkhak sak uh tih a napa rhoek lakah thae uh ngai.
27 When you tell them all these things, they will not listen to you. When you call to them, they will not answer.
He kah ol he amih taengah boeih na thui dae nang ol te a yaak uh moenih. Amih te na khue akhaw nang te n'doo uh moenih.
28 Therefore you must say to them, ‘This is the nation that would not listen to the voice of the LORD their God and would not receive correction. Truth has perished; it has disappeared from their lips.
Te dongah amih taengah “Namtom long he a Pathen BOEIPA ol te hnatun uh pawt tih thuituennah khaw doe uh pawh. Amih kah ka lamkah tah uepomnah khaw moelh tih talh coeng,” ti nah.
29 Cut off your hair and throw it away. Raise up a lamentation on the barren heights, for the LORD has rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath.’
Na rhuisam bawt lamtah voei laeh. Caphoei cuk ah rhahlung khuen laeh. BOEIPA loh a hnawt tih a thinpom kah cadilcahma khaw a phap coeng lah ko.
30 For the people of Judah have done evil in My sight, declares the LORD. They have set up their abominations in the house that bears My Name, and so have defiled it.
Judah ca rhoek loh ka mikhmuh ah boethae ni a saii uh. BOEIPA kah olphong ni he. Im ah a sarhingkoi te a khueh uh tih ming aka poeih rhung la ka ming a phoei.
31 They have built the high places of Topheth in the Valley of Hinnom so they could burn their sons and daughters in the fire—something I never commanded, nor did it even enter My mind.
Topheth hmuensang te a khoeng uh tih kolrhawk kah hmai dongah a canu, a capa rhoek te a hoeh uh. Te te ka uen pawt tih ka lungbuei ah khaw a kun moenih.
32 So behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when this place will no longer be called Topheth and the Valley of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. For they will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no more room.
Te dongah BOEIPA kah olphong ha pawk tarha nah hnin ah tah Topheth neh kolrhawk te koep phoei voel mahpawh. Tedae ngawnnah kolrhawk lakah Topheth ah ni hmuen a om pawt hil a up uh eh.
33 The corpses of this people will become food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and there will be no one to scare them away.
Te vaengah pilnam kah a rhok he vaan kah vaa neh diklai rhamsa ham maeh la a om pah vetih aka hawt khaw om mahpawh.
34 I will remove from the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem the sounds of joy and gladness and the voices of the bride and bridegroom, for the land will become a wasteland.”
Judah khopuei rhoek khui neh Jerusalem tollong kah omngaihnah ol neh kohoenah ol khaw, yulo kah ol neh vasa ol khaw ka duem sak ni. Diklai te imrhong la om ni.
