Jeremias 4
1 If Israel will return to me, says the Lord, he shall return: and if he will remove his abominations out of his mouth, and fear before me, and swear,
Oe, Isarel na ban pawiteh, kai koe vah ban, telah BAWIPA ni ati. Panuet na thonae hah ka hmaitung hoi na tâkhawng pawiteh, puen e lah na awm mahoeh toe.
2 The Lord lives, with truth, in judgement and righteousness, then shall nations bless by him, and by him they shall praise God in Jerusalem.
BAWIPA teh a hring, telah lawkkatang hoi lawkcengnae hoi, lannae dawk lawk na kam vaiteh, BAWIPA lahoi miphunnaw pueng ni amamouh dawk yaw ka hawi e lah ao awh han. Ahnimouh dawk pholennae lah ao awh han telah ati.
3 For thus says the Lord to the men of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Break up fresh ground for yourselves, and sow not amongst thorns.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Judah taminaw hoi Jerusalem taminaw koe BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Na laikawknaw hah kanawk awh nateh, pâkhing um vah cati tu hanh awh.
4 Circumcise yourselves to your God, and circumcise your hardness of heart, you men of Juda, and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my wrath go forth as fire, and burn, and there be none to quench it, because of the evil of your devices.
Nangmouh Judah taminaw hoi Jerusalem vah kho kasaknaw hanelah namamae lungthin vuensom hah a awh telah nahoeh pawiteh, yonnae na sak e kecu dawkvah, ka lungkhueknae teh hmai patetlah tawk vaiteh, apinihai padout thai laipalah na kang payon awh vaih.
5 Declare you in Juda, and let it be heard in Jerusalem: say you, Sound the trumpet in the land; cry you aloud: say you, Gather yourselves together, and let us enter into the fortified cities.
Judah ram dawk pathang nateh, Jerusalem vah pâpho awh. Ram thung vah, mongka ueng nateh hram awh. Cungtalah kamkhueng nateh, rapan ka tawn e kho dawkvah, kâen awh sei telah tet awh.
6 Gather up [your wares] and flee to Sion: hasten, stay not: for I will bring evils from the north, and great destruction.
Zion mon koelah lukkarei pathout awh. Roumnae tawng awh nateh uet hanh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, atunglah hoi kalenpounge rawknae hoi kathoute ka pha sak han.
7 The lion is gone up from his lair, he has roused [himself] to the destruction of the nations, and has gone forth out of his place, to make the land desolate; and the cities shall be destroyed, so as to be without inhabitant.
Ratu thung hoi sendek tâcawt vaiteh, miphunnaw ka raphoekung a tho lahun. Na ram hah raphoe hanelah a onae hmuen koehoi a tâco toe. Na khopui hah tami ao hoeh na hanlah a raphoe awh han.
8 For these things gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament, and howl: for the anger of the Lord is not turned away from you.
Hat kecu dawkvah, burihni kâkhu awh nateh kap awh haw. Hramki awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka patawpoung e BAWIPA lungkhueknae hah maimouh koehoi kamlang hoeh rah.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be amazed, and the prophets shall wonder.
Hote hnin dawk teh hettelah ao han telah BAWIPA ni ati. Siangpahrang hoi kahrawikungnaw e lungthin hah puen tâsue laihoi ao awh han. Vaihmanaw hah kângairu lah awm awh vaiteh, profetnaw ni a lungpout awh han.
10 And I said, O sovereign Lord, verily you have deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, There shall be peace; whereas behold, the sword has reached even to their soul.
Hahoi kai ni Oe! Bawipa Jehovah, hete taminaw hoi Jerusalem hah pueng hoi na dum toe, tahloi ni a hringnae a thut navah, roumnae na hmu han na ti telah ka ti.
11 At that time they shall say to this people and to Jerusalem, [There is] a spirit of error in the wilderness: the way of the daughter of my people is not to purity, nor to holiness.
Hatnae tueng dawk teh, hete taminaw hoi Jerusalem koe, kahrawng arasangnae cailum hmuen koehoi kabetpoung e kahlî ni ka taminaw hoi ka canunaw koe lah ahnimouh palek sak hane hoi thoung sak hanelah laipalah kahlî a tho han.
12 [But] a spirit of full vengeance shall come upon me; and now I declare my judgements against them.
Hotnaw hanelah ka patawpoung e kahlî kai koehoi a tho han. Ahnimouh taranlahoi lawkcengnae hai ka dei han, telah tie lah ao han.
13 Behold, he shall come up as a cloud, and his chariots as a tempest: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! for we are in misery.
Khenhaw! tâmai patetlah bongparui patetlah kaawm e rangleng hoi a tho han. A marang teh mataw hlak hai aranghnawn. Maimouh teh yawkathout e lah o awh, rawknae koe lah pha awh toe.
14 Cleanse your heart from wickedness, O Jerusalem, that you may be saved: how long will your grievous thoughts be within you?
Oe, Jerusalem rungngang lah na o thai nahan, ka thout e lungthin hah thoung sak totouh maw pouk payonnae na thung vah ao han.
15 For a voice of one publishing from Dan shall come, and trouble out of mount Ephraim shall be heard of.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Dan ram hoi lawk a tâco teh, Ephraim mon hoi kathoute hah a pâpho.
16 Remind you the nations; behold, they are come: proclaim [it] in Jerusalem, that bands are approaching from a land afar off, and have uttered their voice against the cities of Juda.
Miphun tangkuem koe dei awh. Oe Jerusalem taranlahoi pâpho awh. Khenhaw! ram hlanae koehoi katuetnaw a tho teh, Judah khopuinaw taran lah hoi a hram awh.
17 As keepers of a field, they have surrounded her; because you, says the Lord, has neglected me.
Kai na taran awh dawkvah, law karingkungnaw patetlah a tengpam hoi a kalup awh telah BAWIPA ni ati.
18 Your ways and your devices have brought these things upon you; this is your wickedness, for [it is] bitter, for it has reached to your heart.
Na hringnae na nuencang hoi na tawksak e ni hete hno heh, na lathueng vah a pha sak. Hetteh kakhat e, na hawi awh hoeh nae lah ao dawkvah, na lungthin hah a thut.
19 I am pained in my bowels, my bowels, and the sensitive powers of my heart; my soul is in great commotion, my heart is torn: I will not be silent, for my soul has heard the sound of a trumpet, the cry of war, and of distress: it calls on destruction;
Oe, ka hringnae, ka hringnae, ka lungthin roeroe heh a patawpoung. Ka thung vah ka lungthin hanghangkâan. Duem kaawm thai hoeh. Tarantuknae pawlawk hoi kâhruetcuetnae mongka ueng e pawlawk hah na thai dawkvah Oe, ka hringnae duem kaawm thai hoeh.
20 for all the land is distressed: suddenly [my] tabernacle is distressed, my curtains have been tore asunder.
Rawknae dawkvah rawknae a hram. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ramnaw pueng hah a rawk toe. Kaie lukkareiim hah vai touh hoi a rawk teh, lukkarei hai tawkkadek dawk a rawk.
21 How long shall I see fugitives, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
Atueng nâsittouh maw tarantuknae lukkarei hah ka hmu vaiteh, mongka lawk ka thai han vai.
22 For the princes of my people have not known me, they are foolish and unwise children: they are wise to do evil, but [how] to do good they have not known.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka taminaw teh a pathu poung dawkvah, kai na panuek awh hoeh. Camo ka pathu e panuenae ka tawn hoeh e patetlah ao awh. Kathout e sak hanelah a lungang awh eiteh, hawinae sak hane panuek awh hoeh.
23 I looked upon the earth, and, behold, [it was] not; and to the sky, an there was no light in it.
Talai ka khet navah a hrawnghrang pui lah ao. Kalvan hai ka khet navah, a angnae awm hoeh.
24 I saw the mountains, and they trembled, and [I saw] all the hills in commotion.
Mon hai ka khet navah, koung a pâyaw. Monruinaw pueng hai koung kâkapek
25 I looked, and behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the sky were scared.
Ka khet navah, taminaw hai awm hoeh. Kalvan e tavanaw pueng hai koung kamleng.
26 I saw, and, behold, Carmel was desert, and all the cities were burnt with fire at the presence of the Lord, and at the presence of his fierce anger they were utterly destroyed.
Ka khet navah kahawi e law hah kahrawng lah ao toe. BAWIPA e hmalah, pueng hoi a lungkhueknae hmalah khopuinaw pueng hai a rawp awh.
27 Thus says the Lord, The whole land shall be desolate; but I will not make a full end.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Ramnaw pueng kingdi han. Hateiteh, abuemlahoi teh ka pout sak mahoeh.
28 For these things let the earth mourn, and let the sky be dark above: for I have spoken, and I will not repent; I have purposed, and I will not turn back from it.
Hote hno kecu dawk talai ni a cingou han. Lathueng lae kalvan hai a hmo han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka dei toung dawkvah, ka kâcai toe. Pankângai vaiteh, bout kamlang mahoeh toe.
29 The whole land has recoiled from the noise of the horseman and the bent bow; they have gone into the caves, and have hidden themselves in the groves, and have gone up upon the rocks: every city was abandoned, no man lived in them.
Marangransanaw hoi licung ka e pawlawk hoi khopui koung a yawng han. Ka hmawt e ratu thung vah kâen awh vaiteh, talung dawk a luen awh han. Khonaw pueng cettakhai vaiteh kho ka sak e buet touh boehai awm awh mahoeh.
30 And what will you do? Though you clothe yourself with scarlet, and adorn yourself with golden ornaments; though you adorn your eyes with stibium, your beauty [will be] in vain: your lovers have rejected you, they seek your life.
Na rawk torei teh, bangtelamaw na ti han. Ka paling e khohna nakunghai, sui puengcang hoi na kamthoup nakunghai, mitlakhuem na kâhluk nakunghai, aphu kaawm hoeh e na kamthoup rumram e doeh. Na thoundounnaw ni na dudam awh mingming han. Na hringnae thei hanlah a tawng awh han.
31 For I have heard your groaning as the voice of a woman in travail, as of her that brings forth her first child; the voice of the daughter of Zion shall fail through weakness, and she shall lose the strength of her hands, [saying], Woe is me! for my soul faints because of the slain.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, napui ni camo khe pataw khangnae kâhram pawlawk ka thai. Camin ka khe e ni pataw a khangnae doeh. Zion canu kâha a uek teh a kut a dâw teh ka yawthoe poung toe, bangtelah, tamikathoutnaw kecu dawk ka hringnae ka rei thai poung toe telah ati.
