Jeremiah 18
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
BAWIPA koehoi Jeremiah koe ka phat e lawk teh hettelah a o,
2 Arise and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.
Hlaam kasakkung im cet nateh, hawvah kai ni lawk na poe han, atipouh.
3 And I went down to the potter's house; and behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.
Hatdawkvah, hlaam kasakkung im lah ka cei teh, hatnavah hlaam kasakkung, hlaam saknae a tabu koe thaw a tawk e hah ka hmu.
4 And the vessel that he made was marred, as clay, in the hand of the potter; and he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make.
Amhru hoi sak e talai teh hlaam kasakkung e kut dawk hoi a rawk dawkvah, kasakkung ni ama ni ahawi ati e patetlah a katha alouke e bout a sak.
5 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA e lawk teh kai koe a pha.
6 House of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith Jehovah. Behold, as the clay in the potter's hand, so are ye in my hand, house of Israel.
Oe Isarel imthungkhu, hete hlaam kasakkung ni hlaam a sak e patetlah kai ni nangmouh heh na sak thai mahoeh maw, telah BAWIPA ni ati. Hlaam kasakkung e kut dawkvah talaihlaam ao e patetlah oe Isarel imthungkhu nangmouh hai kaie kut dawkvah na o awh.
7 At the moment that I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to break down, and to destroy,
Nâtuek hai uknae thoseh, miphun kong dawk thoseh, phawk hoi ka raphoe vaiteh, ka yei han telah ka dei nakunghai,
8 if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turn from their evil, then I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.
hote miphun ni ahni taranlahoi ka dei e kecu dawk, hawihoehnae kamlang takhai pawiteh, a lathueng vah hawihoehnae sak hanelah, ka kâcai e hah ka kâhno han.
9 And at the moment that I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant,
Hahoi nâtuek e atueng hai miphun kong dawk thoseh, uknae kong dawk thoseh, ka sak vaiteh, ka kangdue sak han telah ka dei nakunghai,
10 if it do evil in my sight, that it hearken not unto my voice, then I will repent of the good wherewith I said I would benefit them.
ka dei e ngai laipalah ka mithmu vah kathoute sak pawiteh, ahni hanlah hawinae ka sak han ka tie hah, let ka kâhno han.
11 And now, speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I prepare evil against you, and devise a device against you: turn ye then every one from his evil way, and amend your ways and your doings.
Hatdawkvah, Judah taminaw hoi Jerusalem khokasaknaw koe BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. KHenhaw! nangmae kong dawk hnokahawi e ka pouk teh, kâtarannae ka pouk lahun, tami pueng ni kahawihoehe nuencang hah kamlang takhai pawiteh, na hringnae khosaknae nuen hah kâthung awh telah tet pouh.
12 But they say, There is no hope; for we will walk after our own devices, and we will each one do [according to] the stubbornness of his evil heart.
Hateiteh, ahnimouh ni hot teh ngaihawinae kaawm hoeh e doeh ati, ma ni ahawi tie patetlah o awh vaiteh, tami pueng a lungpouk payonnae ni kâ a poe e patetlah sak awh han telah ati awh.
13 Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Ask ye now among the nations, Who hath heard such things? The virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Jentelnaw pacei awh haw, het patet lae apinimaw a thai boi, Isarel tanglakacuem ni takikatho e hno hah a sak toe.
14 Shall the snow of Lebanon cease from the rock of the field? Shall the cool flowing waters coming from afar be dried up?
Lebanon mon talung van e ka bawt e tadamtui hah tami buet touh ni a ceitakhai boimaw. A tengpam hoi ka lawng e tuipading hah a hak boimaw.
15 For my people hath forgotten me: they burn incense to vanity; and they have caused them to stumble in their ways, the ancient paths, to walk in by-paths of a way not cast up;
Ka taminaw ni na pahnim awh dawkvah, patopatang kaawm hoeh e meikaphawk koevah hmuitui a sawi awh. Hote ni vah ayan e lamkaruem a phen sak awh. Picai hoe e lamthung lam a dawn awh.
16 to make their land an astonishment, a perpetual hissing: every one that passeth by shall be astonished, and shake his head.
Amamae ram teh yungyoe panuikhai hanelah a ceitakhai awh teh, ka cet kaawm pueng ni kângairu teh a lûsaling sin awh.
17 As with an east wind will I scatter them before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.
Kanîtholae kahlî kathout patetlah tarannaw hmalah, peng kâkayei sak han. A yawthoenae hnin nah ka hmalah tho laipalah ka hnukkhu lah a kamlang takhai han telah ati.
18 And they said, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor word from the prophet. Come and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.
Ahnimouh ni tho awh, Jeremiah hah youk awh sei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, vaihmanaw koe e kâlawk kahmat mahoeh, profetnaw koe e lawk hai pout mahoeh, tho awh, pathoe awh sei, a lawk hai bang lah noutna pouh hanh sei, telah ati awh.
19 Jehovah, give heed to me, and listen to the voice of those that contend with me.
Oe BAWIPA ka kong heh pouk haw, kai ka tarannaw e lawk hah na thai pouh haw.
20 Shall evil be recompensed for good? For they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before thee to speak good for them, to turn away thy wrath from them.
Hnokahawihoehe hah, hnokahawi hoi pathung boimaw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka hring nahanelah tangkawm a tai awh. Ahnimouh koehoi ka lungkhueknae roum nahane hoi ahnimouh hanelah hawinae dei hanelah, na hmalah ouk ka kangdue e hah na pahnim pouh hanh.
21 Therefore give up their children to the famine, and deliver them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of children and be widows; and let their men be swept off by death, their young men be smitten by the sword in battle.
A canaw hah takang kâhmo sak nateh, tahloi thakaawme kâhmo sak haw. A yunaw hah a due awh vaiteh lahmai la coung awh naseh, a napanaw hah lacik hoi dout awh naseh, karoung lahun e naw hai taran hmuen koe tahloi hoi thei e lah awm awh naseh.
22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them; for they have digged a pit to take me, and have hidden snares for my feet.
Tarankatuknaw hah ahnimouh koe pouk laipalah na pha sak torei teh, a imthung dawk hoi khuika lawk kampaw naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, man hanelah na kâcai awh dawkvah, tangkom a tai awh teh, ka khok kâman nahanelah karap a patung awh.
23 And thou, Jehovah, knowest all their counsel against me to slay me. Forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee: deal with them in the time of thine anger.
Oe BAWIPA kai thei hanelah a kâcai awh e hah na panue toe. Ahnimae yonnae hah yontha pouh hanh. Na hmaitung vah a payonnae naw hah kahmat sak hanh. Na hmalah kamlet sak nateh na lungkhueknae hnin na vah hottelah sak haw.
