Jeremiah 12
1 Righteous art thou, Jehovah, when I plead with thee; yet will I speak with thee of [thy] judgments. Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? [wherefore] are all they at ease that deal very treacherously?
Oe BAWIPA na hmalah lai ka roe nahaiyah, nang na kuep yungyoe. Hatei, na lawkcengnae kong heh na hmalah dei ka ngai rah. Bangkongmaw tamikathoutnaw a lamcawn awh teh, kadumyennaw ni lunghawi hoi khosak awh.
2 Thou hast planted them, they also have taken root: they advance, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, but far from their reins.
Ahnimanaw hah nang ni na ung teh, tangpha a pabo, a roung awh teh, a paw awh. Ahnimae pahni hoi na hnai teh, ahnimae lungthin hoi teh na hla.
3 But thou, Jehovah, knowest me; thou hast seen me, and proved my heart toward thee. Drag them out like sheep for the slaughter, and set them apart for the day of slaughter.
Hatei, BAWIPA nang ni na panue, nang ni na hmu teh nama na pouknae hah na tanouk. Thei hanlah kaawm e tunaw patetlah ahnimouh hah sawn nateh hrawi haw. Thei nahane hnin hanlah ahnimouh hmoun haw.
4 How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of all the fields wither? Because of the wickedness of them that dwell therein, the beasts and the birds perish; for they say, He will not see our end.
Ram ni na to touh maw, a cingou vaiteh, kahrawng e hrâmnaw ni nâtotouh maw a ke awh han. A thung e kaawmnaw hah a hawihoeh dawkvah, kahrawng moithangnaw hoi tavanaw hai kahmakata awh toe. Hathnukkhu vah, taminaw ni maimouh koe kaawm hno heh hmawt katang mahoeh, telah bout ati awh.
5 If thou hast run with footmen, and they have wearied thee, how wilt thou then contend with horses? And if in a land of peace thou thinkest thyself in security, how wilt thou then do in the swelling of the Jordan?
Taminaw hoi yawng kâta nahai, ahnimouh ni na ta awh pawiteh, marangnaw hoi bangtelamaw na tâ thai han. Na kâuep e roumnae ram ni na tawn sak pawiteh, Jordan ratu tanghling dawk bangtelamaw na ti han vai.
6 For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee, even they have cried aloud after thee. Believe them not, though they speak good [words] unto thee.
Na hmaunawnghanaw, na imthungkhu ni patenghai, nang hah na dum awh toe, na ngaihoeh hoi na hramsin awh toe. Ahnimouh ni lawk kahawi a dei awh nakunghai, ahnimouh yuem awh hanh.
7 I have forsaken my house, I have cast off my heritage, I have given the beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
Ka im ka pahnawt vaiteh, ka râwnaw hai ka hnoun han toe. Ka pahren e tami teh, a tarannaw kut dawk ka poe toe.
8 My heritage is become unto me as a lion in the forest; it hath raised its voice against me: therefore have I hated it.
Kaie râw teh, ratu e sendek patetlah doeh ao toe. Kai hah na huk sin, hatdawkvah kai ni ka hmuhma.
9 My heritage is unto me [as] a speckled bird of prey; the birds of prey round about are against her. Go, assemble all the beasts of the field, bring them to devour.
Kaie râw teh kai hanlah tarakcak e langtanaw lah ao. Langta ni petkâkalup lah a hmang maw. Moithang pueng pâkhueng awh nateh ca hanelah thokhai awh.
10 Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness:
Tukhoumkung kapap ni, ka misur takha hah a raphoe awh teh, ka coe hane hah rep a coungroe awh. Phunep poung lah ka coe hane hah tami kingdi lah ao han.
11 they have made it a desolation; desolate, it mourneth unto me: the whole land is made desolate, for no man layeth it to heart.
Kingdi e ram lah ao sak, koung a raphoe teh kai koe a ka. A ram buemlah koung a raphoe teh, apinihai noutna awh hoeh.
12 Spoilers are come upon all heights in the wilderness; for the sword of Jehovah devoureth from one end of the land even to the [other] end of the land: no flesh hath peace.
Kingdi e monsom ka nga e pueng koe karaphoekungnaw a luen awh han, ram apoutnae koehoi avanglae apout totouh, BAWIPA e tahloi ni koung a ca han, roumnae roeroe awm mahoeh.
13 They have sown wheat, and they reap thorns; they have put themselves to pain, [and] do not profit. Be ye therefore ashamed of your revenues, because of the fierce anger of Jehovah.
Cang hah a tu awh han eiteh, pâkhing lah doeh a a awh han. A tha pueng hoi a tawn awh eiteh, banghai hmawt awh mahoeh. BAWIPA e a lungphuennae a patawpoung toung dawkvah, yeiraiponae doeh a a awh han.
14 Thus saith Jehovah against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: Behold, I will pluck them up out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, kaie tami Isarelnaw koevah, ka poe e râw karaphoekung ka imrinaw e yonnae naw dawkvah, a ram thung hoi ka phawk vaiteh, ahnimouh thung dawk hoi hai Judah imthungkhu hah ka phawk han.
15 And it shall come to pass, after I have plucked them up, I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them back, each one to his inheritance, and each one to his land.
Hatei, ka phawk hnukkhu, hetnaw van vah pahrennae bout ka tawn vaiteh, amamouh ni râw a pang hane talai amamouh ram lah bout ka thokhai han.
16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, [As] Jehovah liveth — even as they taught my people to swear by Baal — they shall be built up in the midst of my people.
Hahoi, hettelah ao han. Baal koe ka taminaw thoebo a pâtu e patetlah ka min lahoi BAWIPA a hring teh, a hring nah thung pueng teh, telah thoebo a kamtu awh teh, ka taminaw hoi hringnuen hah kahawie lah kamtu awh pawiteh, ka taminaw thung dawk ka caksak han.
17 And if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith Jehovah.
Hatei, api miphun ni hai thai ngai awh hoehpawiteh, hote miphun teh koung ka phawk vaiteh, ka raphoe han, telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
