Jeremias 14
1 AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO JEREMIAS CONCERNING THE DROUGHT.
Khokang ol dongah BOEIPA ol he Jeremiah taengla pawk.
2 Judea has mourned, and her gates are emptied, and are darkened upon the earth; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
Judah te nguekcoi tih a vongka khaw tahah coeng. Khohmuen ham khaw kopang uh tih Jerusalem kah henah tah luei coeng.
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.
Amih khuikah aka khuet rhoek loh a canoi rhoek te tui taengla a tueih uh. Tuito taengla pawk uh dae tui hmu uh pawh. A am hong neh a mael uh vaengah yak uh tih a hmaithae neh a lu a yil uh.
4 And the labours of the land failed, because there was no rain: the husbandmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.
Diklai ah khonal om pawt tih lai a yawk kong ah, lopho rhoek yak uh tih a lu a yil uh.
5 And hinds calved in the field, and forsook [it], because there was no grass.
Sayuk rhuinu long pataeng khaw lohma ah ca a cun dae baelhing a om pawt dongah a hnoo.
6 The wild asses stood by the forests, and snuffed up the wind; their eyes failed, because there was no grass.
Kohong marhang rhoek caphoei cuk ah pai uh tih pongui bangla yilh a mam. Baelhing om pawt tih a mik kha uh.
7 Our sins have risen up against us: O Lord, do you for us for your own sake; for our sins are many before you; for we have sinned against you.
Kaimih kathaesainah loh kaimih taengah n'doo uh cakhaw BOEIPA aw namah taengah ka hnuknong uh khing tih ka tholh uh dongah he na ming ham mah saii mai.
8 O Lord, [you are] the hope of Israel, and deliver [us] in time of troubles; why are you become as a sojourner upon the land, or as one born in the land, yet turning aside for a resting-place?
Israel kah ngaiuepnah neh citcai tue vaengah anih kah khangkung aw, balae tih diklai ah yinlai neh rhaeh hamla aka rhaehba yiin bangla na om.
9 Will you be as a man asleep, or as a [strong] man that can’t save? yet you are amongst us, O Lord, and your name is called upon us; forget us not.
BOEIPA kaimih lakli ah tah namah khaw balae tih hlang ingang bangla, khang ham aka coeng pawh hlangrhalh bangla na om? Tedae kaimih taengah na ming a khue dongah kaimih nan hnoo moenih.
10 Thus says 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.
BOEIPA loh he pilnam ham he ni a thui. Amih kho tah poengdoe ham a lungnah uh tangloeng tih tuemsoem uh pawh. BOEIPA loh amih a moeithen pawt dongah amih kathaesainah te a poek vetih a tholhnah te a cawh pawn ni.
11 And the Lord said to me, Pray not for this people for [their] good:
Tedae BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Hnothen ham akhaw he pilnam ham tah thangthui boeh.
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.
A yaeh uh vaengkah a tamlung te ka hnatun moenih. Hmueihhlutnah neh khocang a khuen uh vaengah amih te ka moeithen moenih. Tedae amih te cunghang neh, khokha neh, duektahaw neh ka khah,” a ti.
13 And I said, O [ever] living Lord! behold, their prophets prophesy, and say, You shall not see a sword, nor shall famine be amongst you; for I will give truth and peace on the land, and in this place.
Tedae, “Ya-oe, ka Boeipa Yahovah, amih taengah cunghang na hmu pawt vetih nangmih taengah khokha pai mahpawh, he hmuen ah nangmih ham ngaimongnah oltak kam paek ni, ' aka ti tonghma aih ke,” ka ti nah.
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.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh kamah taengah, “Laithae tonghma rhoek loh ka ming neh tonghma uh. Amih te ka tueih pawt tih amih te ka uen moenih. Laithae mangthui neh olhong bihma, a huep mueirhol, amih te ka thui pah moenih. Tedae amih loh amamih lungbuei kah a huep nen ni nangmih taengah a tonghma uh,” a ti.
15 Therefore thus says 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.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Ka ming neh aka tonghma, tonghma rhoek, amih te ka tueih moenih. Tedae amih loh, 'He diklai ah cunghang neh khokha om mahpawh,’ a ti uh. Tekah tonghma rhoek tah cunghang neh, khokha neh cung bitni.
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.
Pilnam loh amih taengah aka tonghma rhoek Jerusalem vongvoel kah a voeih rhoek la om uh ni. Khokha neh cunghang dongah amih te aka up khaw om mahpawh. Amih te a yuu rhoek khaw, a capa rhoek khaw, a canu rhoek te khaw amamih kah boethae te amamih soah ka lun ni.
17 And you shall 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.
He ol he amih taengah thui pah. Ka mik dongkah mikphi he khoyin khothaih suntla saeh lamtah kak boel saeh. Ka pilnam tanu oila tah, hma puei dongah khaem coeng tih hmasoe la nue khungdaeng coeng.
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.
Khohmuen te ka paan vaengah nim cunghang dongkah rhok hoeng ni ke. Khopuei la ka caeh bal nim te khokha kah tlohtat hoeng ni ke. Tonghma neh khosoih loh diklai ah a thimpom rhoi akhaw a ming rhoi moenih.
19 Hast you utterly rejected Juda? and has your soul departed from Sion? therefore has you struck 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 te na hnawt na hnawt tih Zion te na hinglu loh a tuei nama? Balae tih kaimih taengah hoeihnah om pawt ham kaimih nan ngawn? Sadingnah te lamtawn dae then voel pawh. Te dongah hoeihnah tue te khaw letnah coeng ni he.
20 We know, O Lord, our sins, [and] the iniquities of our fathers: for we have sinned before you.
BOEIPA aw kaimih kah halangnah neh a pa rhoek kathaesainah neh namah taengah ka tholh uh te ka ming uh.
21 Refrain for your name's sake, destroy not the throne of your glory: remember, break not your covenant with us.
Na ming ham tah tlaitlaek boeh, na thangpomnah ngolkhoel te tahah sak boeh. Poek van lah, kaimih taengkah na paipi te phae boeh.
22 Is there any one amongst the idols of the Gentiles that can give rain? and will the sky yield his fulness [at their bidding]? Are not you he? we will even wait on you, O Lord: for you have made all these things.
Namtom kah a honghi taengah kho nal om tih vaan long khaw mueitui a paek nim? Kaimih kah BOEIPA Pathen amah khaw nang moenih a? Te dongah nang soah kan lamtawn uh tih he boeih he namah ham ni na saii.
