Jeremiah 6
1 Strengthen yourselves, ye sons of Benjamin, in the midst of Jerusalem, and sound the trumpet in Thecua, and set up the standard over Bethacarem: for evil is seen out of the north, and a great destruction.
Aw Benjamin kaminawk, Jerusalem hoi cawnh hanah amsak oh, Tekoa ah mongkah to ueng oh! Beth-Haccerem ah angmathaih hmai to paang oh; zit kaom amrohaih loe aluek bang hoiah angzoh boeh.
2 I have likened the daughter of Sion to a beautiful and delicate woman.
Kranghoih kanawk tuep Zion canu to kam rosak han.
3 The shepherds shall come to her with their flocks: they have pitched their tents against her round about: every one shall feed them that are under his hand.
Tuutoep kaminawk loe angmacae ih tuunawk hoiah nihcae khaeah caeh o ueloe, anih tuk hanah ataeng boih ah kahni imnawk to sah o thui tih, kami boih mah angmacae ih ahmuen ah tuu to pacah o tih.
4 Prepare ye war against her: arise, and let us go up at midday: woe unto us, for the day is declined, for the shadows of the evening are grown longer.
Anih tuk hanah om o coek ah; angthawk oh athun ah caeh o si. Toe aicae loe khosak a bing o boeh! Niduem boeh, kho doeh ving boeh.
5 Arise, and let us go up in the night, and destroy her houses.
To pongah angthawk oh, khoving ah tuh o si loe, a oh o haih ahmuen to phrae pae o si.
6 For thus saith the Lord of hosts: Hew down her trees, cast up a trench about Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited, all oppression is in the midst of her.
Misatuh Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; thingnawk to pakhru oh loe, Jerusalem tuk hanah long to takae oh; hae vangpui loe thuitaek han oh; a thungah loe pacaekthlaekhaih hoiah koi boeh.
7 As a cistern maketh its water cold, so hath she made her wickedness cold: violence and spoil shall be heard in her, infirmity and stripes are continually before me.
Tuipuek mah tui tacawtsak baktih toengah, anih mah sethaih to tacawtsak boeh; a thungah athii longhaih hoi amrohaih lok to ka thaih; ka hmaa ah apet ai ah palungsethaih hoi ahma caakhaih to oh.
8 Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee, lest I make thee desolate, a land uninhabited.
Aw Jerusalem, thuitaekhaih to talawk ah; to tih ai nahaeloe nang khae hoiah ka hinghaih tacawt ving ueloe, prae to kami om ai ah kang pongsak sut moeng tih, tiah a thuih.
9 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: They shall gather the remains of Israel, as in a vine, even to one cluster: turn back thy hand, as a grape gatherer into the basket.
Misatuh Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; kanghmat misur thaih pakhrik baktiah, kanghmat Israel to pakhrik o tih, misur thaih pakhrik kami mah benthang thungah ban tapawh baktiah, na ban to tapawh let ah, tiah a thuih.
10 To whom shall I speak? and to whom shall I testify, that he may hear? behold, their ears are uncircumcised, and they cannot hear: behold the word of the Lord is become unto them a reproach: and and they will not receive it.
Nihcae mah tahngaih o hanah, mi khaeah maw lok ka thuih moe, acoehaih to ka paek han? Khenah, nihcae loe naa tangyat aat o ai pongah, thaih o kop ai; khenah, Angraeng ih lok to a pahuep o kaak moe, thaih han koeh o ai.
11 Therefore am I full of the fury of the Lord, I am weary with holding in: pour it out upon the child abroad, and upon the council of the young men together: for man and woman shall be taken, the ancient and he that is full of days.
To pongah kai loe Angraeng palungphuihaih hoiah koi boeh moe, ka pauep thai ai boeh; tasa bangah kaom nawktanawk hoi nawnto angpop thendoengnawk nuiah ka kraih han boeh; zu sava hoi saning kacoeh mitongnawk to ka lak ving han.
12 And their houses shall be turned over to others, with their lands and their wives together: for I will stretch for my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord.
Nihcae ih imnawk, lawk hoi a zunawk doeh, minawk khaeah ka paek moe, prae thungah kaom kaminawk nuiah ban ka payangh thuih han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
13 For from the least of them even to the greatest, all are given to covetousness: and from the prophet even to the priest, all are guilty of deceit.
Kathoeng koek hoi kalen koek khoek to kami boih kamthlai koeh hmoekhaih hoiah koi o; tahmaa hoi qaima doeh lah ai, lok amlai o boih.
14 And they healed the breach of the daughter of my people disgracefully, saying: Peace, peace: and there was no peace.
Monghaih om ai to mah, monghaih, monghaih, tiah a thuih o moe, kai ih kami ah kaom canunawk ih ahma cakhaih loe nung parai ai, tiah a naa o.
15 They were confounded, because they committed abomination: yea, rather they were not confounded with confusion, and they knew not how to blush: wherefore they shall fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall fall down, saith the Lord.
Nihcae mah panuet thok hmuennawk sak o naah azat o maw? Azat o ai, azathaih roe tawn o ai, mikhmai mataeng doeh sae o ai; to pongah nihcae loe kamtimh kaminawk salakah amtim o tih; nihcae ka thuitaekhaih atue phak naah loe, nihcae to atlim ah pakhrah o tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
16 Thus saith the Lord: Stand ye on the ways, and see and ask for the old paths which is the good way, and walk ye in it: and you shall find refreshment for your souls. And they said: we will not walk.
Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih, Lamkrung ah angdoe ah loe khenah; canghnii ih loklamnawk to dueng oh, kahoih loklam to dueng oh loe, to loklam ah caeh oh, to tiah nahaeloe na pakhranawk mah anghakhaih to hnu o tih. Toe nihcae mah to ah ka caeh o mak ai, tiah thuih o.
17 And I appointed watchmen over you, saying: Hearken ye to the sound of the trumpet. And they said: We will not hearken.
Mongkah lok to tahngai oh; nangcae toepkung kaminawk to kang suek pae, tiah ka naa. Toe nihcae mah, Ka tahngai o mak ai, tiah thuih o.
18 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what great things I will do to them.
To pongah prae kaminawk boih, tahngai oh; Aw minawk salakah kaom kaminawk panoek oh.
19 Hear, O earth: Behold I will bring evils upon this people, the fruits of their own thoughts: because they have not heard my words, and they have cast away my law.
Aw long, tahngai ah; khenah, nihcae loe ka thuih ih loknawk to tahngai o ai, ka patuk ih lok doeh pazui o ai, pahnawt o sut pongah, angmacae poekhaih thingthai ah kaom, amrohaih to hae kaminawk nuiah ka phaksak han.
20 To what purpose do you bring me frankincense from Saba, and the sweet smelling cane from a far country? your holocausts are not acceptable, nor are your sacrifices pleasing to me.
Judah kaminawk tih hanah Sheba ih hmuihoih tui hoi angthla parai prae ih hmuihoih tui kai khaeah nang sin o loe? Na sak o ih hmai angbawnhaih to ka talawk mak ai; na sak o ih angbawnhaih hmuennawk mah kai palung anghoesak ai.
21 Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold, I will bring destruction upon this people, by which fathers and sons together shall fall, neighbor and kinsman shall perish.
To pongah Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; khenah, hae kaminawk hmaa ah pakaakung ka suek pae han; ampanawk hoi a caanawk loe to ah nawnto amthaek o tih; imtaeng kami hoi angmah ih ampui doeh amro tih, tiah thuih.
22 Thus saith the Lord: Behold a people cometh from the land of the north, and a great nation shall rise up from the ends of the earth.
Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Khenah, aluek bang hoiah acaeng maeto angzo tih; long boenghaih hoiah kalen parai acaeng to ka pahruek han.
23 They shall lay hold on arrow and shield: they are cruel, and will have no mercy. Their voice shall roar like the sea: and they shall mount upon horses, prepared as men for war, against thee, O daughter of Sion.
Nihcae loe kalii hoi tayae to sin o tih; nihcae loe hmawsaeng o moe, tahmenhaih tawn o ai; nihcae ih lok loe angthawk tuiphu tuen baktiah tuenh; Aw Zion canu, nihcae loe misatuh kaminawk baktiah amthoep o, hrang nuiah angthueng o moe, nang tuk hanah angzoh o boeh, tiah a thuih.
24 We have heard the fame thereof, our hands grow feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, as a woman in labor.
To naah kaminawk mah, nihcae ih tamthang ka thaih o naah, kaicae ih ban loe thazok sut; nongpata mah ca tapen tom naah tong ih kana baktiah, patangkhanghaih hoi raihaih to ka tong o, tiah thuih o.
25 Go not out into the fields, nor walk in the highway: for the sword of the enemy, and fear is on every side.
Sithaw mah, praezaek ah caeh o hmah, loklam ah doeh amkae o hmah, misa loe sumsen to sin moe, ahmuen kruekah amkaeh pongah zit han oh, tiah thuih.
26 Gird thee with sackcloth, O daughter of my people, and sprinkle thee with ashes: make thee mourning as for an only son, a bitter lamentation, because the destroyer shall suddenly come upon us.
Aw kai kaminawk ih canu, kazii to angzaeng oh loe, maiphu pongah amlet oh; maeto khue a tawnh ih capa to duek naah qah baktiah qah oh loe palungsae oh; parokung loe akra ai ah aicae nuiah pha tih boeh.
27 I have set thee for a strong trier among my people: and thou shalt know and prove their way.
Sithaw mah, kai ih kaminawk khosakhaih tuinuen to na panoek thai hanah, kai ih kaminawk tanoek kami hoi nihcae abuephaih ah kang suek boeh.
28 All of these princes go out of the way, they walk deceitfully, they are brass and iron: they are all corrupted.
Nihcae loe palungthah kami, laisaep thaih kami ah oh o; sumkamling hoi sum baktiah a oh o moe, kamrosak thaih hmuen ah a oh o.
29 The bellows have failed, the lead is consumed in the fire, the founder hath melted in vain: for their wicked deeds are not consumed.
Hmai to cenh moe, hmai doeh angqong boeh, sum doeh amkaw boeh; toe atui pacii kami mah pacii ih atui loe azom pui ah ni oh; kasae kaminawk ih sethaih loe cing thai ai.
30 Call them reprobate silver, for the Lord hath rejected them.
Angraeng mah nihcae to pahnawt sut boeh pongah, kaminawk mah nihcae loe pahnawt sut ih sumkanglung, tiah kawk o tih.
