< Jeremias 7 >
BOEIPA taeng lamkah ol te Jeremiah taengla pawk tih,
2 Hear you the word of the Lord, all Judea.
‘BOEIPA im kah vongka ah pai lamtah he ol he pahoi doek laeh. Te vaengah BOEIPA taengah thothueng ham he kah vongka la aka pawk Judah pum te, ‘BOEIPA ol he ya uh,’ ti nah,” a ti.
3 Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Correct your ways and your devices, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh, “Na longpuei neh na khoboe tlaih uh laeh. Te daengah ni hekah hmuen ah nangmih te om sak eh.
4 Trust not in yourselves with lying words, for they shall not profit you at all, saying, It is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.
Nangmih loh a hong ol dongah pangtung uh boeh. BOEIPA kah bawkim, BOEIPA kah bawkim, BOEIPA kah bawkim,” a ti uh.
5 For if you thoroughly correct your ways and your practices, and do indeed execute judgement between a man and his neighbour;
Na longpuei neh na khoboe te na tlaih la na tlaih atah, hlang laklo neh a hui laklo ah tiktamnah na saii la, na saii uh atah,
6 and oppress not the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, and go not after strange gods to your hurt:
Yinlai, cadah neh nuhmai hnaemtaek uh boel lamtah he hmuen ah ommongsitoe thii kingling uh boeh. Nangmih aka thae sak pathen tloe rhoek hnukah na pongpa pawt atah.
7 then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land which I gave to your fathers of old and for ever.
Na pa rhoek taengah khosuen lamloh kumhal duela ka paek khohmuen kah he hmuen ah nangmih kang om sak ni.
8 But whereas you have trusted in lying words, whereby you shall not be profited;
Nangmih tah namamih ham aka hoeikhang pawh a hong ol dongah ni na pangtung uh te.
9 and you murder, and commit adultery, and steal, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and are gone after strange gods whom you know not,
Huen ham, ngawn ham neh samphaih ham nim a honghi neh na toemngam uh? Baal taengah na phum uh tih ming pawt pathen tloe rhoek hnukah na pongpa uh.
10 so that it is evil with you; yet have you come, and stood before me in the house, whereon my name is called, and you have said, We have refrained from doing all these abominations.
Kai ming la a khue he im khuikah ka mikhmuh la na pawk uh tih na pai uh vaengah, “He rhoek kah tueilaehkoi he boeih n'saii uh akhaw n'huul uh,” na ti uh.
11 Is my house, whereon my name is called, a den of robbers in your eyes? And, behold, I have seen [it], says the Lord.
Ka ming aka phuei im he nangmih mik ah dingca kah lungko la poeh coeng a? Tedae kai loh kam hmuh coeng he,” a ti. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
12 For go you to my place with is in Selo, where I caused my name to dwell before, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.
Te dongah Shiloh kah ka hmuen te paan uh laeh. Te ah tah ka ming om lamhma coeng dae ka pilnam Israel kah boethae kongah anih soah ka saii te hmuh uh lah.
13 And now, because you have done all these deeds, and I spoke to you, but you listened not to me; and I called you, but you answered not;
Te bibi te boeih na saii coeng dongah BOEIPA kah olphong bangla nang taengah kan thui. Na thoh hang vaengah ka thui dae na yaak moenih. Nangmih te kang khue dae nan doo uh moenih.
14 therefore I also will do to the house whereon my name is called, wherein you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Selo.
Ka ming la a khue tih nangmih a khuiah na pangtung thil im te ka saii pueng ni. Nangmih taeng neh na pa rhoek taengah kam paek tangtae hmuen pataeng Shiloh taengkah bangla ka saii coeng.
15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I cast away your brethren, all the seed of Ephraim.
Na manuca rhoek boeih neh Ephraim tiingan boeih khaw ka voeih bangla ka mikhmuh lamloh nangmih te kam voeih ni.
16 Therefore pray not you for this people, and intercede not for them to be pitied, yes, pray not, and approach me not for them: for I will not listen [to you].
Te dongah nang tah he pilnam yueng thangthui boeh, amih ham tamlung neh thangthuinah khaw ludoeng pah boeh. Kai he nan doo pawt dongah nang ol aka ya la kai ka om moenih.
17 Seest you not what they do in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Judah loh khopuei neh Jerusalem tollong ah amih loh mebang a saii khaw na hmuh moenih a?
18 Their children gather wood, and their fathers kindle a fire, and their women knead dough, to make cakes to the host of heaven; and they have poured out drink-offerings to strange gods, that they might provoke me to anger.
Ca rhoek loh thing a coi uh tih a napa rhoek loh hmai a toih uh. Manu rhoek loh vaan boeinu kah rhaibuh la saii pah ham vaidamtlam a nook uh. Kai aka veet hamla pathen tloe rhoek taengah tuisi a bueih.
19 Do they provoke me to anger? says the Lord: do they not [provoke] themselves, that their faces may be ashamed?
Amih nim kai aka veet rhoek te. BOEIPA kah olphong ni he. A maelhmai ah yahpohnah aka om ham amih moenih a?
20 Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, my anger and wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and upon the men, and upon the cattle, and upon every tree of their field, and upon the fruits of the land; and it shall burn, and not be quenched.
Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a thui. Ka thintoek neh ka kosi tah he hmuen sokah hlang so neh rhamsa soah, khohmuen thingkung so neh diklai thaihtae soah bo coeng. Te long te a dom vetih thi mahpawh.
21 Thus says the Lord, Gather your whole burnt offerings with your meat-offerings, and eat flesh.
Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh, “Na hmueihhlutnah neh na hmueih te koei lamtah a saa te ca nawn.
22 For I spoke not to your fathers, and commanded them not in the day wherein I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, concerning whole burnt offerings and sacrifice:
Na pa rhoek te Egypt kho lamloh a khuen la ka khuen khohnin vaengah hmueihhlutnah neh hmueih kawng dongah amih te ol ka uen moenih.
23 but I commanded them this thing, saying, Hear you my voice, and I will be to you a God, and you shall be to me a people: and walk you in all my ways which I shall command you, that it may be well with you.
Tedae amih te hekah ol he lat ka uen tih, “Ka ol he hnatun uh lamtah nangmih kah Pathen la ka om bitni. Nangmih khaw ka pilnam la om uh. Nangmih kang uen longpuei ah boeih pongpa uh lamtah nangmih taengah voelphoeng van saeh,” ka ti.
24 But they listened not to me, and their ear gave no heed, but they walked in the imaginations of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward;
Tedae hnatun uh pawt tih a hna te kaeng uh pawh. A lungbuei boethae kah thinthahnah dongah cilkhih te a paan uh tih a hnuk a hmai pawt ah khaw om uh.
25 from the day that their fathers went forth out of the land of Egypt, even until this day. And I sent to you all my servants, the prophets, by day and early in the morning: yes, I sent [them],
Egypt kho lamkah na pa rhoek aka pawk uh hnin lamloh tihnin duela nangmih taengah ka sal rhoek boeih kan tueih. Tonghma rhoek te hnin takuem a thoh hang neh kan tueih coeng.
26 but they listened not to me, and their ear gave no heed; and they made their neck harder than their fathers.
Tedae kai ol te ya uh pawt tih a hna te kaeng uh pawh. A rhawn a mangkhak sak uh tih a napa rhoek lakah thae uh ngai.
27 Therefore you shall speak this word to them;
He kah ol he amih taengah boeih na thui dae nang ol te a yaak uh moenih. Amih te na khue akhaw nang te n'doo uh moenih.
28 This is the nation which has not listened to the voice of the Lord, nor received correction: truth has failed from their mouth.
Te dongah amih taengah “Namtom long he a Pathen BOEIPA ol te hnatun uh pawt tih thuituennah khaw doe uh pawh. Amih kah ka lamkah tah uepomnah khaw moelh tih talh coeng,” ti nah.
29 Cut off your hair, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on your lips; for the Lord has reprobated and rejected the generation that does these things.
Na rhuisam bawt lamtah voei laeh. Caphoei cuk ah rhahlung khuen laeh. BOEIPA loh a hnawt tih a thinpom kah cadilcahma khaw a phap coeng lah ko.
30 For the children of Juda have wrought evil before me, says the Lord; they have set their abominations in the house on which my name is called, to defile it.
Judah ca rhoek loh ka mikhmuh ah boethae ni a saii uh. BOEIPA kah olphong ni he. Im ah a sarhingkoi te a khueh uh tih ming aka poeih rhung la ka ming a phoei.
31 And they have built the altar of Taphes, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, to burn their sons and their daughters with fire; which I did not command them [to do], neither did I design it in my heart.
Topheth hmuensang te a khoeng uh tih kolrhawk kah hmai dongah a canu, a capa rhoek te a hoeh uh. Te te ka uen pawt tih ka lungbuei ah khaw a kun moenih.
32 Therefore, behold, the days come, says the Lord, when they shall no more say, The altar of Taphes, and the valley of the son of Ennom, but, The valley of the slain; and they shall bury in Taphes, for lack of room.
Te dongah BOEIPA kah olphong ha pawk tarha nah hnin ah tah Topheth neh kolrhawk te koep phoei voel mahpawh. Tedae ngawnnah kolrhawk lakah Topheth ah ni hmuen a om pawt hil a up uh eh.
33 And the dead bodies of this people shall be for food to the birds of the sky, and to the wild beasts of the earth; and there shall be none to drive [them] away.
Te vaengah pilnam kah a rhok he vaan kah vaa neh diklai rhamsa ham maeh la a om pah vetih aka hawt khaw om mahpawh.
34 And I will destroy out of the cities of Juda, and the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of them that make merry, and the voice of them that rejoice, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride; for the whole land shall become a desolation.
Judah khopuei rhoek khui neh Jerusalem tollong kah omngaihnah ol neh kohoenah ol khaw, yulo kah ol neh vasa ol khaw ka duem sak ni. Diklai te imrhong la om ni.
