Jeremiah 13
1 This is what the Lord said to me: Go and get yourself a linen band and put it round you and do not put it in water.
BAWIPA ni kai koe hetheh a dei, cet nateh hnitaisom ran nateh kâyeng haw, hatei tui duk sak hanh, ati.
2 So, as the Lord said, I got a band for a price and put it round my body.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni a dei e patetlah hnitaisom hah ka ran teh ka kâyeng.
3 And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying,
Hathnukkhu, BAWIPA e lawk teh apâhni kai koe bout a pha teh,
4 Take the band which you got for a price, which is round your body, and go to Parah and put it in a secret place there in a hole of the rock.
hnitaisom na ran e hah lat nateh, kâyeng laihoi Euphrates tui koe cet nateh, talung kâbawng e rahak vah hrawk haw, telah ati.
5 So I went and put it in a secret place by Parah, as the Lord had said to me.
Hatdawkvah, ka cei teh BAWIPA ni a dei e patetlah Euphrates tui teng vah ka hro.
6 Then after a long time, the Lord said to me, Up! go to Parah and get the band which I gave you orders to put there.
Hnin moi a saw hnukkhu teh, BAWIPA ni kai koe vah, thaw nateh Euphrates tui koe cet nateh, hnitaisom na hro sak e hah bout lat leih na ti pouh.
7 So I went to Parah and, uncovering the hole, took the band from the place where I had put it away: and the band was damaged and of no use for anything.
Hatdawkvah, Euphrates tui koe ka cei teh, ka hronae hmuen koe ka tai teh, bout ka la. Hatei, koung a hmawn toung dawkvah, hnopai hanlah awm hoeh toe.
8 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Hathnukkhu BAWIPA e lawk teh kai koe a pha.
9 The Lord has said, In this way I will do damage to the pride of Judah and to the great pride of Jerusalem.
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, het patetlah Judahnaw kâoupnae hoi Jerusalem kâoupnae hah ka raphoe han.
10 These evil people who say they will not give ear to my words, who go on in the pride of their hearts and have become servants and worshippers of other gods, will become like this band which is of no use for anything.
Hete tamikayonnaw, ka lawk ka ngai hoeh e taminaw, amamae a lungpatanae patetlah ka cet ni teh, alouke cathutnaw ka bawk niteh, a thaw tawk pouh hanelah ka cet naw teh, hete hnitaisom patetlah lah ao awh. Hnopai hanlah awm awh mahoeh.
11 For as a band goes tightly round a man's body, so I made all the people of Israel and all the people of Judah tightly united to me; so that they might be a people for me and a name and a praise and a glory: but they would not give ear.
Hnitaisom teh tami ni a keng dawk a kâyeng e patetlah Isarel imthungkhu hoi Judah imthungkhu naw pueng teh, ka taminaw, ka min kamthang sak hane hoi ka bawilen sak hanelah kai koe pou kârayen hanelah ka sak e lah ao eiteh, banglah noutna awh hoeh telah BAWIPA ni ati.
12 So you are to say this word to them: This is the word of the Lord, the God of Israel: Every skin bottle will be full of wine; and they will say to you, Is it not quite clear to us that every skin bottle will be full of wine?
Ahnimouh koe hete lawk heh na dei pouh han. BAWIPA Isarel Cathut ni vah hettelah a dei, Misur um pueng hah misur tui hoi kawi sak hanlah ao. Ahnimouh ni nang koevah, misur um teh misur tui hoi kawi sak hanlah ao tie hah ka panuek boi awh hoeh maw, telah ati awh han.
13 Then you are to say to them, The Lord has said, I will make all the people of this land, even the kings seated on David's seat, and the priests and the prophets and all the people of Jerusalem, overcome with strong drink.
Ahnimouh koevah, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Hete ram thung kaawm tami pueng Devit e bawitungkhung dawkvah, ka tahung siangpahrang pueng, vaihmanaw, profetnaw hoi Jerusalem vah kaawm taminaw pueng hah yamuhrinae hoi ka kawi sak han.
14 I will have them smashed against one another, fathers and sons together, says the Lord: I will have no pity or mercy, I will have no feeling for them to keep me from giving them to destruction.
Kai ni amahoima buet touh hoi buet touh, a napanaw hoi a canaw hai ka kâhem sak han telah BAWIPA ni ati. Hottelae naw teh raphoe hoeh nahanlah pahren mahoeh, pâhlung mahoeh, lungma mahoeh, hatei, he ka raphoe han ati telah ati.
15 Give ear and let your ears be open; be not lifted up: for these are the words of the Lord.
Hnâpakeng nateh thai haw. Kâoup hanh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni lawk a dei toe.
16 Give glory to the Lord your God, before he makes it dark, and before your feet are slipping on the dark mountains, and, while you are looking for a light, he makes it into deep dark, into black night.
Hmonae a pha sak hoehnahlan, ka hmot e mon dawkvah na khok na kamthui hoehnahlan vah, BAWIPA na Cathut teh pholen haw. Angnae na tawng lahun nah duenae tâhlip a tâco sak teh, ka hmot e talung kâko lah a coung sak.
17 But if you do not give ear to it, my soul will be weeping in secret for your pride; my eye will be weeping bitterly, streaming with water, because the Lord's flock has been taken away as prisoners.
Hete na ngai hoehpawiteh, nangmae na kâoupnae dawkvah, arulahoi ka ka han. BAWIPA e tuhunaw teh, san lah a hrawi awh han dawkvah, lungpataw lahoi ka ka vaiteh ka mitphi a bo han.
18 Say to the king and to the queen-mother, Make yourselves low, be seated on the earth: for the crown of your glory has come down from your heads.
Siangpahrang hoi siangpahrangnu koevah, na lû roi dawk e na bawilen bawilakhung hah a bo han toe. Hatdawkvah, na bawitungkhung dawk hoi kum roi leih, telah dei pouh.
19 The towns of the south are shut up, and there is no one to make them open: Judah is taken away as prisoners; all Judah is taken away as prisoners.
Negev khopuinaw taren awh vaiteh, ka paawng hane apihai awm mahoeh. Judahnaw pueng san lah, abuemlahoi koung a hrawi awh han.
20 Let your eyes be lifted up (O Jerusalem), and see those who are coming from the north. Where is the flock which was given to you, your beautiful flock?
Na mit padai awh nateh, atunglah hoi kathonaw khenhaw, nangmouh koe na khoum sak e tuhu hoi ngai kaawm e tunaw hah namaw ao.
21 What will you say when he puts over you those whom you yourself have made your friends? will not pains take you like a woman in childbirth?
Bawi hoi lû lah kaawm hane na cangkhai e ni, na rek toteh, bangne na dei han. Napui ca khe pataw e patetlah na man toteh, a pataw na ti han na vaiyaw.
22 And if you say in your heart, Why have these things come on me? because of the number of your sins, your skirts have been uncovered and violent punishment overtakes you.
Bangkongmaw het patet e hno heh kai koe a pha vai, telah na mahoima hah kâpacei pawiteh, na yonnae naw apap poung dawk doeh toe, na hna a phawi awh teh tawngtai lah na o e a kamnue toe.
23 Is it possible for the skin of the Ethiopian to be changed, or the markings on the leopard? Then it might be possible for you to do good, who have been trained to do evil.
Ethiopianaw ni a vuen a kâthung thai maw. Kaisi ni a em a kâthung thai maw. Kâthung thai pawiteh, nangmouh kathout hno kasaknaw ni hai kahawi hno na sak thai awh han doeh.
24 So I will send them in all directions, as dry grass is taken away by the wind of the waste land.
Thingyei yawn dawk e kahlî ni cahik a palek e patetlah kai ni nangmouh teh be na kahei awh han.
25 This is your fate, the part measured out to you by me, says the Lord, because you have put me out of your memory and put your faith in what is false.
Kai na hnoun awh teh, laithoe na kâuep awh dawkvah, hetheh na ham hanlah na pouk pouh e doeh toe, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
26 So I will have your skirts uncovered before your face, in order that your shame may be seen.
Na kayanae kamnue nahanelah, na hna teh na minhmai totouh kalip takhang han.
27 I have seen your disgusting acts, even your false behaviour and your cries of desire and your loose ways on the hills in the field. Unhappy are you, O Jerusalem, you have no desire to be made clean; how long will you be in turning back to me?
Kahrawng hoi monnaw dawkvah, na uicuknae hoi na hounlounnae hram pawlawk hoi, na kâyonae, panuettho e na sak e hah ka hmu, Oe Jerusalem, na yaw a thoe. Atu totouh na thoung hoeh rah maw.
