< Jeremiah 8 >

1 “At that time,” declares the LORD, “the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of the officials, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the people of Jerusalem will be removed from their graves.
Te tue vaengkah BOEIPA olphong loh Judah manghai rhoek kah a rhuh neh a mangpa rhoek kah a rhuh, khosoih rhoek kah a rhuh neh tonghma rhoek kah a rhuh khaw, Jerusalem khosa rhoek kah a rhuh te a phuel lamloh a khuen rhoe a khuen uh ni.
2 They will be exposed to the sun and moon, and to all the host of heaven which they have loved, served, followed, consulted, and worshiped. Their bones will not be gathered up or buried, but will become like dung lying on the ground.
Te vaengah khomik neh, hla neh, vaan caempuei boeih taengah a yaal uh ni. Te ni a lungnah uh tih a thothueng thil uh. Te te a hnukah a pongpa uh tih te te a toem uh, a bawk uh. Tedae hloem uh pawt vetih up uh mahpawh, diklai hman ah aek bangla om ni.
3 And wherever I have banished them, the remnant of this evil family will choose death over life,” declares the LORD of Hosts.
Aka coih cako lamkah a meet boeih loh hingnah lakah dueknah te a tuek ni. Hmuen takuem kah boethae neh aka sueng rhoek he ka heh ni. Caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
4 So you are to tell them this is what the LORD says: “Do men fall and not get up again? Does one turn away and not return?
Te phoeiah amih te thui pah. BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. A cungku uh atah thoo uh pawt nim? A mael atah ha mael mahpawt nim?
5 Why then have these people turned away? Why does Jerusalem always turn away? They cling to deceit; they refuse to return.
Pilnam he balae tih a mael? Jerusalem tah hnuknong la a mawt tih a huep te a ngaitoeih uh dongah ha mael ham a aal uh.
6 I have listened and heard; they do not speak what is right. No one repents of his wickedness, asking, ‘What have I done?’ Everyone has pursued his own course like a horse charging into battle.
Ka hnatung tih ka hnatun a thuem la a thui uh moenih. A saii boeih te balae ti ham khaw a thae dongah dam aka ti hlang a om moenih. A yong a yong doeah caemtloek la aka vikvuek marhang bangla mael.
7 Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons. The turtledove, the swift, and the thrush keep their time of migration, but My people do not know the requirements of the LORD.
Vaan kah bungrho long khaw a tingtunnah a ming tih vahui neh marhang, marhang neh langloep loh a rhaai tue a ngaithuen. Tedae ka pilnam loh BOEIPA kah laitloeknah te ming uh pawh.
8 How can you say, ‘We are wise, and the Law of the LORD is with us,’ when in fact the lying pen of the scribes has produced a deception?
Metlam lae kaimih taengah BOEIPA kah olkhueng om tih ka cueih na ti uh. Tedae cadaek rhoek kah laithae cacung a muk te laithae rhoe la he.
9 The wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and trapped. Since they have rejected the word of the LORD, what wisdom do they really have?
Aka cueih rhoek te yak uh vetih rhihyawp dongah man uh ni. BOEIPA kah olka a hnawt uh dongah amih ham mebang cueihnah nim aka om te?
10 Therefore I will give their wives to other men and their fields to new owners. For from the least of them to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; from prophet to priest, all practice deceit.
Te dongah a yuu rhoek te a tloe taengla, a khohmuen te aka pang taengla ka paek tangloeng pawn ni. Tanoe lamloh kangham hil a mueluemnah ham boeih a mueluem. Tonghma lamkah khosoih hil a pum la laithae a saii.
11 They dress the wound of the daughter of My people with very little care, saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ when there is no peace at all.
Ka pilnam canu kah pocinah te vapsa la a toi uh. Rhoepnah rhoepnah a ti ham vaengah rhoepnah om pawh.
12 Are they ashamed of the abomination they have committed? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; when I punish them, they will collapse, says the LORD.
A yah ham tueilaehkoi la a saii vaengah a yah ham om dae yak pawt tih hmaithae khaw ming uh pawh. Te dongah amih cawhnah tue ah aka cungku lakli ah cungku uh van vetih paloe uh ni.
13 I will take away their harvest, declares the LORD. There will be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the tree, and even the leaf will wither. Whatever I have given them will be lost to them.”
Amih te boeih ka coi vetih ka thup ni. BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Misur dongah misurthaih om mahpawh. Thaibu dongah thaibu thaih om pawt vetih a hnah khaw hoo ni. Amih aka paan te amih taengla ka paek ni.
14 Why are we just sitting here? Gather together, let us flee to the fortified cities and perish there, for the LORD our God has doomed us. He has given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
Balae tih mamih n'ngol sut. Tingtun uh sih lamtah hmuencak khopuei la ael uh sih. Mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen loh mamih n'kuemsuem sak dongah pahoi kuemsuem uh sih. BOEIPA taengah n'tholh uh dongah sue tui ni mamih n'tul coeng.
15 We hoped for peace, but no good has come, for a time of healing, but there was only terror.
Sading ham lamtawn dae a then om pawh, hoeihnah tue ham vaengah letnah la poeh he.
16 The snorting of enemy horses is heard from Dan. At the sound of the neighing of mighty steeds, the whole land quakes. They come to devour the land and everything in it, the city and all who dwell in it.
A marhang a phit te Dan lamloh a yaak, a lueng kah a kawk ol ah diklai tom hinghuen. Ha pawk uh vaengah khohmuen neh a khopuei boeih, a khuikah khosa boeih te a yoop.
17 “For behold, I will send snakes among you, vipers that cannot be charmed, and they will bite you,”
Rhulthae rhul te nangmih taengah kan tueih coeng he. Te rhoek te calthai nen khaw a coeng pawt dongah nangmih n'tuk ni.
18 My sorrow is beyond healing; my heart is faint within me.
Ka mongnah khaw ka khuikah kothaenah dongah ka lungbuei tah hal coeng.
19 Listen to the cry of the daughter of my people from a land far away: “Is the LORD no longer in Zion? Is her King no longer there?” “Why have they provoked Me to anger with their carved images, with their worthless foreign idols?”
khohla bangsang kho lamkah ka pilnam nu kah a pang ol la ke. Zion ah BOEIPA a om moenih a? A manghai khaw a khuiah a om moenih a? Balae tih kholong kah a mueidaep neh a honghi la kai m'veet uh.
20 “The harvest has passed, the summer has ended, but we have not been saved.”
Cangah a poeng tih khohal khaw bawt coeng dae mamih tah n'khang moenih.
21 For the brokenness of the daughter of my people I am crushed. I mourn; horror has gripped me.
Ka pilnam nu pocinah dongah kopang neh ka paep tih imsuep bangla kai n'kolek.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is no physician there? Why then has the health of the daughter of my people not been restored?
Gilead ah thingpi a om moenih a? Te ah te aka hoeih sak khaw om tangloeng pawh. Balae tih ka pilnam nu kah sadingnah loh ha pawk pawh.
