Jeremias 1
1 The word of God which came to Jeremias the [son] of Chelcias, of the priests, who lived in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
Benjamin kho Anathoth kah Khosoih Hilkiah capa Jeremiah kah ol;
2 [accordingly] as the word of God came to him in the days of Josias son of Amos king of Juda, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
Judah manghai Amon capa Josiah a manghai tue vaengkah kum hlai thum dongah anih taengah BOEIPA ol a om pah.
3 And it was in the days of Joakim, son of Josias king of Juda, until the eleventh year of Sedekias king of Juda, [even] until the captivity of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
Judah manghai Josiah capa Jehoiakim tue neh Judah manghai Josiah capa Zedekiah kah kum hlai khat thok tih a hla nga dongkah Jerusalem a khum duela om pueng.
4 And the word of the Lord came to him, [saying],
Te vaengah BOEIPA ol tah kai taengah om tih,
5 Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you; and before you came forth from the womb, I sanctified you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.
“Nang he bungko khuiah kan hlinsai khaw kan hlinsai hlan ah nang kan ming coeng. Bung khui lamkah na thoeng hlan ah nang kan ciim tih namtom rhoek ham tonghma la nang kang khueh coeng,” a ti.
6 And I said, O Lord, you that are supreme Lord, behold, I know not [how] to speak, for I am a child.
Te vaengah, “Ya-oe ka Boeipa Yahovah aih khaw, kai camoe loh thui ham khaw ka ming moenih he,” ka ti nah.
7 And the Lord said to me, Say not, I am a child: for you shall go to all to whoever I shall send you, and according to all [the words] that I shall command you, you shall speak.
Tedae BOEIPA loh kai te, “Ka camoe,” ti boeh. Hlang boeih taengah nang kan tueih vanbangla cet lamtah nang kang uen te boeih thui.
8 Be not afraid before them: for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord.
Amih maelhmai te rhih boeh, nang huul hamla namah taengah kai ka om. BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
9 And the Lord stretched forth his hand to me, and touched my mouth: and the Lord said to me, Behold, I have put my words into your mouth.
BOEIPA loh a kut a yueng tih ka ka ham puei. Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Kai taengah, “Na ka dongah ka ol kang khueh coeng he.
10 Behold, I have appointed you this day over nations and over kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to rebuild, and to plant.
Tihnin namtom rhoek neh ram tom te phuk hamla, palet ham neh paltham sak ham, koengloeng ham, khoeng ham neh phung ham nang kan tuek he hmu laeh,” a ti.
11 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, What see you? And I said, A rod of an almond tree.
Te phoeiah kai taengla BOEIPA ol ha om tih, “Jeremiah balae na hmuh,” a ti. Te dongah, “Noe kah a hlaeng ka hmuh,” ka ti nah.
12 And the Lord said to me, You have well seen: for I have watched over my words to perform them.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh kai te, “Na hmuh te thuem, kai tah ka ol bangla saii ham ka hak thil,” a ti.
13 And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying, What see you? And I said, A cauldron on the fire; and the face of it is towards the north.
BOEIPA ol te ka taengah koep om tih, “Balae na hmuh,” a ti. Te dongah, “Am aka tlawk te ka hmuh tih a rhai te tlangpuei hmai la mael,” ka ti nah.
14 And the Lord said to me, From the north shall flame forth evils upon all the inhabitants of the land.
Te vaengah BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Tlangpuei lamkah yoethaenah loh diklai khosa boeih te a phuh ni.
15 For, behold, I call together all the kingdoms of the earth from the north, says the Lord; and they shall come, and shall set each one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls round about her, and against all the cities of Juda.
Kai loh tlangpuei ram kah huiko boeih te BOEIPA kah olphong dongla ka khue coeng he. Ha pawk uh vaengah a ngolkhoel te Jerusalem vongka kah thohka neh a kaepvai kah vongtung boeih, Judah khopuei tomah te khaw rhip a hol thil uh ni.
16 And I will speak to them in judgement, concerning all their iniquity, [forasmuch] as they have forsaken me, and sacrificed to strange gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.
Amih te kamah kah laitloeknah ka thui pah ni. Amih kah boethae boeih neh kai n'hnoo uh tih pathen tloe rhoek taengah a phum uh. Te phoeiah amah kut dongkah bisai te a bawk uh.
17 And do you gird up your loins, and stand up, and speak all [the words] that I shall command you: be not afraid of their face, neither be you alarmed before them; for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord.
Nang tah na cinghen te yen lamtah pai laeh. Kai loh nang kang uen boeih te amih taengah thui pah. Amih mikhmuh ah rhihyawp boeh namah te amih mikhmuh ah kang rhihyawp sak ve.
18 Behold, I have made you this day as a strong city, and as a brazen wall, strong [against] all the kings of Juda, and the princes thereof, and the people of the land.
Kai loh tihnin ah nang he hmuencak khopuei la, thi tung la, rhohum vongtung la Judah manghai rhoek kah khohmuen boeih, a mangpa rhoek, a khosoih rhoek, khohmuen kah pilnam taengah kang khueh coeng he.
19 And they shall fight against you; but they shall by no means prevail against you; because I am with you, to deliver you, says the Lord.
Nang m'vathoh thil cakhaw nang te n'na uh mahpawh. Nang huul hamla nang taengah kamah ka om he BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni,” a ti.
