< Jeremias 20 >

1 Now Paschor the son of Emmer, the priest, who also had been appointed chief of the house of the Lord, heard Jeremias prophesying these words.
Jeremiah ni hottelah lawk a dei e hah BAWIPA im e kahrawikung kacuepoung lah kaawm e Immer capa vaihma Pashhur ni a thai.
2 And he smote him, and cast him into the dungeon which was by the gate of the upper house that was set apart, which was by the house of the Lord.
Hottelah Pashhur ni profet Jeremiah hah a hem teh, BAWIPA im e Benjamin longkha atunglah kaawm e dawkvah, hlong a buet teh a paung.
3 And Paschor brought Jeremias out of the dungeon: and Jeremias said to him, [The Lord] has not called thy name Paschor, but Exile.
A tangtho vah Pashhur ni Jeremiah hah a rathap teh Jeremiah ni, BAWIPA ni na min teh Pashhur tet hoeh toe, Magormissabib telah ati toe atipouh.
4 For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I [will] give thee up to captivity with all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall see [it]: and I will give thee and all Juda into the hands of the king of Babylon, and they shall carry them captives, and cut them in pieces with swords.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, Khenhaw! nang hoi na huinaw pueng hanelah taki ka tho e lah na coung sak han. A tarannaw hah tahloi hoi a rawp awh vaiteh, na mit hoi na hmu han. Judah tami pueng hah Babilon kut dawk be ka poe han, ahnimouh ni Babilon vah san lah a hrawi awh vaiteh, tahloi hoi a thei awh han.
5 And I will give all the strength of this city, and all the labours of it, and all the treasures of the king of Juda, into the hands of his enemies, and they shall bring them to Babylon.
Hothloilah, khopui tawntanae, tawk e lahoi a hmu awh e pueng, aphu kaawm e hno pueng, Judah siangpahrang râwnaw pueng hah a tarannaw kut dawk be ka poe han, ahnimouh ni a lawp awh vaiteh, a man awh han, Babilon vah a hrawi awh han.
6 And thou and all the dwellers in thine house shall go into captivity: and thou shalt die in Babylon, and there thou and all thy friends shall be buried, to whom thou hast prophesied lies.
Nang Pashhur na imthung kaawmnaw pueng hoi san lah be na toung awh han. Babilon vah na cei vaiteh, haw vah na due han. Haw vah nama hoi na huinaw hai laithoe kapâphonaw pueng hoi pakawp lah be na o awh han telah ati.
7 Thou hast deceived me, O Lord, and I have been deceived: thou hast been strong, and has prevailed: I am become a laughing-stock, I am continually mocked every day.
BAWIPA nama ni na pasawt teh, ka tarawi toe. Nang teh kai hlak na tha a sai teh na tâ. Kanî a loum totouh panuilai lah na dei teh panuikhai e lah ka o.
8 For I will laugh with my bitter speech, I will call upon rebellion and misery: for the word of the Lord is become a reproach to me and a mockery all my days.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, lawk ka dei navah, ka hram teh kâyuekâounnae, pacekpahleknae telah ouk ka hram. BAWIPA e lawk teh kai hanelah hnintangkuem pathoenae hoi panuikhai e lah ao.
9 Then I said, I will by no means name the name of the Lord, and I will no more at all speak in his name. But it was a burning fire flaming in my bones, and I am utterly weakened on all sides, and cannot bear [up].
Ama teh ka toum mahoeh toe, a min lahoi lawk hai ka dei mahoeh toe, ka ti nakunghai, ka hru thung vah hmaisaan patetlah ka lungthin thung vah ouk ao. Kaawm khai thai hoeh niteh, ka khang thai roeroe hoeh.
10 For I have heard the reproach of many gathering round, [saying], Conspire ye, and let us conspire together against him, [even] all his friends: watch his intentions, if perhaps he shall be deceived, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall be avenged on him.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, na panuikhai e naw hah ka thai. Avoivang hoi takinae ao. Raipot awh sei, raipot awh han, telah ati awh. Ka tâlaw nahanelah meng ka pawm e ka huikonaw ni, na pasawt thai yawkaw han, hottelah hoi tavai teh a lathueng vah pathung thai han telah ati awh.
11 But the Lord was with me as a mighty man of war: therefore they persecuted [me], but could not perceive [anything against me]; they were greatly confounded, for they perceived not their disgrace, which shall never be forgotten.
Hatei, BAWIPA teh athakaawme tami, takikathopounge patetlah kai koe ao. Kai na ka rektapnaw hah a bo awh vaiteh, na tâ awh mahoeh. Kayayeirai hoi ao awh han, a lamcawn mahoeh dawkvah, a yungyoe a min mathoenae teh pahnim e lah awm mahoeh.
12 O Lord, that provest just [deeds], understanding the reins and hearts, let me see thy vengeance upon them: for to thee I have revealed my cause.
Oe! ransahu BAWIPA, tamikalannaw ka tanouk e, lungthin hoi pouknae ka tapuet lah kahmawtkung, ahnimae lathueng vah na pathung e hah na hmu sak. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka kong teh nama koe ka hruek toe.
13 Sing ye to the Lord, sing praise to him: for he has rescued the soul of the poor from the hand of evil-doers.
BAWIPA koevah la sak awh nateh, BAWIPA teh pholen awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, yonae kasaknaw a kut dawk hoi kabawp a ngai e naw hringnae hah a rungngang pouh.
14 Cursed be the day wherein I was born: the day wherein my mother brought me forth, let it not be blessed.
Ka khenae hnin teh thoebo lah awm seh, anu ni na khenae hni teh yawhawinae lah awm hanh seh.
15 Cursed be the man who brought the glad tidings to my father, saying, A male child is born to thee.
Apa koevah, capa na tawn telah lawk a phu teh, a lung kahawi sak e hah thoebo lah awm seh.
16 Let that man rejoice as the cities which the Lord overthrew in wrath, and repented not: let him hear crying in the morning, and loud lamentation at noon;
Ama teh BAWIPA ni pahren laipalah be raphoe e kho patetlah awm seh. Amom lah a pawlawknaw thai e lah awm seh. Kanîthun lah hramnae lawk thai naseh.
17 because he slew me not in the womb, and my mother became not my tomb, and her womb always great with me.
Camoim thung vah na thei hoeh dawkvah, na thet pawiteh anu von teh kaie phuen lah awm vaiteh, camoim ni pou na von han ei,
18 Why is it that I came forth of the womb to see troubles and distresses, and my days are spent in shame?
Bang kecu dawk maw patang hoi lungmathoe hoi o hanelah kayayeirai dueng hoi ka hring thung a hninnaw hno hanelah camoim dawk hoi ka tâco telah ati.
