< Jeremias 14 >

1 AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO JEREMIAS CONCERNING THE DROUGHT.
Khokangnae kong dawk BAWIPA koe e lawk Jeremiah koe ka phat e lawk ka phat e teh,
2 Judea has mourned, and her gates are emptied, and are darkened upon the earth; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
Judah ni a khui teh, longkhanaw koevah khuinae ao. Ram hanlah a ka teh, Jerusalem koehoi kanae pawlawk a luen takhang.
3 And her nobles have sent their little ones to the water: they came to the wells, and found no water: and brought back their vessels empty.
Bawinaw ni tui kayawtnaw tui do hanelah a patoun awh. Ahnimouh ni tuikhu koe a cei awh ei, tui awm hoeh. Ahrawng lah bout a ban awh. Lungpuen taki laihoi a lû a ramuk awh.
4 And the labours of the land failed, because there was no rain: the husbandmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.
Ram thung kho a rak hoeh dawkvah, talai teh rak khang toe. Law kaphawnaw ni lungpuen awh teh, a lû a ramuk awh.
5 And hinds calved in the field, and forsook [it], because there was no grass.
Kahrawng e sayuk ni patenghai ca a khe ei, hram ao hoeh dawkvah a ca hah a hnâw.
6 The wild asses stood by the forests, and snuffed up the wind; their eyes failed, because there was no grass.
Kahrawng e la teh a rasangnae cailum hmuen vah a kangdue awh teh, kahrawnguinaw patetlah kahlî a pahap awh. Hram ca hane ao hoeh dawkvah, a mit a mom awh.
7 Our sins have risen up against us: O Lord, do thou for us for thine own sake; for our sins are many before thee; for we have sinned against thee.
Kamamae yonnae ni yon na pen nakunghai, Oe BAWIPA, na min kecu dawk hno buetbuet touh sak yawkaw ei, yuemkamcuhoeh eiteh, moi a pap toe. Nang taranlahoi ka yon awh toe.
8 O Lord, [thou art] the hope of Israel, and deliverest [us] in time of troubles; why art thou become as a sojourner upon the land, or as one born in the land, yet turning aside for a resting-place?
Oe! Isarelnaw, na ngaihawinae kângairu lahun nah, rungngangkung BAWIPA, bangkong ka ram thung vah imyin patetlah tangmin buet touh dueng ka ip e imyin patetlah na o.
9 Wilt thou be as a man asleep, or as a [strong] man that cannot save? yet thou art among us, O Lord, and thy name is called upon us; forget us not.
Bangkong kângairu e patetlah kârungngang thai hoeh e athakaawme tami patetlah na o. Oe! BAWIPA, nang teh kaimouh koe na o teh, nange min teh ka phu awh. Hatdawkvah, kaimouh sut na hnoun hanh.
10 Thus saith the Lord to this people, They have loved to wander, and they have not spared, therefore God has not prospered them; now will he remember their iniquity.
Hete taminaw kecu dawk BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, ahnimanaw ni poungram hane a ngai awh. A khoktakan hah kâcakuep thai hoeh. Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni hetnaw heh dâw awh hoeh. Atu teh ahnimouh thoenae teh, pou pâkuem pouh vaiteh, a yonnae kecu dawk a rek awh han.
11 And the Lord said to me, Pray not for this people for [their] good:
Hahoi BAWIPA ni kai koevah, hete taminaw ahawi nahanelah ratoum pouh hanh.
12 for though they fast, I will not hear their supplication; and though they offer whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifices, I will take no pleasure in them: for I will consume them with sword, and with famine, and with pestilence.
Rawcahai awh nakunghai, ahnimae hremnae lawk teh ka thai pouh mahoeh. Hmaisawi thuengnae hoi pasoumhno, aluepaw na sin nakunghai kai ni ka dâw mahoeh. Ahnimouh teh tahloi, takang, hoi Lacik hoi let ka raphoe han ati. Hahoi kai ni, Aya! BAWIPA Cathut khenhaw! ahnimouh koe profetnaw ni,
13 And I said, O [ever] living Lord! behold, their prophets prophesy, and say, Ye shall not see a sword, nor shall famine be among you; for I will give truth and peace on the land, and in this place.
tahloi na ka hmo awh mahoeh, takang hai phat ma hoeh. Hete hmuen koevah ka pout thai hoeh e hnâroumnae na poe awh han telah pou a dei pouh awh, kai ni telah ka ti pouh.
14 Then the Lord said to me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, and I commanded them not, and I spoke not to them: for they prophesy to you false visions, and divinations, and auguries, and devices of their own heart.
Hatnavah BAWIPA ni kai koevah, profetnaw ni ka min hoi laithoe doeh ka pâpho awh. Ahnimouh teh kai ni ka patoun e nahoeh, kâ ka poe awh hoeh. Lawk hai ka dei pouh hoeh. ahnimouh ni a pâpho e naw teh mitpaleinae, kahrai thawtawknae, cungkeihoehe pouknae, amamae pouknae patetlah dumyennae roeroe doeh a dei awh.
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that prophesy lies in my name, and I sent them not, who say, Sword and famine shall not be upon this land; they shall die by a grievous death, and the prophets shall be consumed by famine.
Hatdawkvah BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Kai ni hotnaw teh ka patoun hoeh. Hatei ahnimouh ni tahloi hoi takangnae teh, hete khoram dawk phat mahoeh telah a dei awh. Hote profetnaw heh tahloi hoi takangnae hoi a due van awh han.
16 And the people to whom they prophesy, they also shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, because of the sword and famine; and there shall be none to bury them: their wives also, and their sons, and their daughters [shall die thus]; and I will pour out their wickedness upon them.
Ahnimouh ni lawk a pâpho pouh e, ka thai e miphun pueng hai tahloi hoi takang dawkvah, Jerusalem lamthungnaw dawkvah, sut ka tâkhawng han. Amamouh hoi a yunaw hoi a capa canunaw ka pakawp pouh han api buet touh hai awm mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, thoenae hah amamouh tak dawk ka awi han.
17 And thou shalt speak this word to them; Let your eyes shed tears day and night, and let them not cease: for the daughter of my people has been sorely bruised, and her plague is very grievous.
Hatdawkvah, hete lawk hah ahnimouh koe na dei han. Ka canu tanglakacuem ka taminaw ni, hemnae ka patawpoung teh a khang han, rahim lah coungroe lah ao toung dawkvah, ka mitphi teh karum khodai pout laipalah lawng lawiseh.
18 If I go forth into the plain, then behold the slain by the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold the distress of famine! for priest and prophet have gone to a land which they knew not.
Kho alawilah ka cei nahai tahloi hoi thei e taminaw ka hmu, khopui thung kâen nahai, takang dawk hoi profet hoi vaihmanaw ni a panue awh boihoeh e khoram lah cei awh toe, atipouh
19 Hast thou utterly rejected Juda? and has thy soul departed from Sion? wherefore has thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? we waited for peace, but there was no prosperity; for a time of healing, and behold trouble!
Judah heh koung na pahnawt awh katang toung. Zion hah na panuet awh ka tang toung. Hawi thai hoeh nahan bangkong kaimouh heh patang na khang sak. Hnâroumnae ka ngaihawi awh ei, hnokahawi tho hoeh toe. Hawinae ka ngaihawi awh ei, takinae letlang a pha.
20 We know, O Lord, our sins, [and] the iniquities of our fathers: for we have sinned before thee.
Oe BAWIPA ka hawihoehnae naw hoi mintoenaw e a yonnae naw hah ka panue awh. Nang koe vah ka yon awh tangak toe.
21 Refrain for thy name's sake, destroy not the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.
Na min lahoi kaimouh heh na panuet awh hanh ei, na lentoe tungkhung teh, a min mathout sak hanh, kaimouh hoi lawkkam sak e hah pahnim hoi raphoe rumram hanh.
22 Is there any one among the idols of the Gentiles that can give rain? and will the sky yield his fulness [at their bidding]? Art not thou he? we will even wait on thee, O Lord: for thou hast made all these things.
Banglah ka tho hoeh e miphun alouke cathutnaw dawk, kho ka rak sak thai e ao na maw. Kalvan ni a mahmawk kho a rak sak thai maw. Oe BAWIPA kaimae Cathut, nang ni doeh kho na rak sak. Hatdawkvah, kaimae ngaihawinae hah nang dawk doeh ao. Nang ni doeh het patetlae hnonaw pueng hah na sak.
