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.
Benjamin canaw na hlout nahanelah Jerusalem khothung hoi yawng awh leih. Tekoa vah mongka ueng awh, Bethhakkerem vah thaisaknae hmai hah paang awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, rucatnae kalen poung rawknae teh atunglah hoi a tho toe.
2 I have likened the daughter of Sion to a beautiful and delicate woman.
Zion canu meikahawi kanaw e hah, ka raphoe han toe.
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.
Tukhoumnaw ni a tuhunaw hoi ahni koe pha awh han, petkâkalup lah lukkareirimnaw a sak awh vaiteh, amamae tuhunaw rip a khoum awh han.
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.
Ahnimanaw tuk hanlah kârakueng awh leih, thaw awh leih, kanîthun vah tuk awh sei, maimouh han a ru poung bangkongtetpawiteh, kanîthun a hloi teh tangmin kho a hmo toe.
5 Arise, and let us go up in the night, and destroy her houses.
Thaw awh leih, karum vah tuk awh sei, a im kahawi kahawi naw hah raphoe awh sei.
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.
Rasahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, thingnaw tâtueng awh nateh, Jerusalem bout tuk nahanelah, luennae hah sak awh. Hote khopui heh rek hanelah ao. Hatei khopui thung vah kâyue kâounnae seng doeh akawi toe.
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.
Tuikhu ni tui a tâco sak e patetlah ahnimouh ni kathoute a tâcokhai van. Athung vah kâounnae hoi rawknae niyah akawi, ka hmalah lungmathoenae hoi patawnae pout laipalah ao.
8 Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee, lest I make thee desolate, a land uninhabited.
Oe Jerusalem kâhruetcuet, telah nahoeh pawiteh, ka hringnae ni hnamthun takhai vaiteh, athung vah kingdi ram lah ka coung sak han.
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.
Rasahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, misur paw kacawirae khi e patetlah ahnimouh ni Isarelnaw kacawirae hah abuemlah he a khi awh han. Misur paw kakhikung ni a khi e patetlah na kut hah tangthung dawk bout tapu ei.
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.
Api koe maw lawk ka dei pouh vaiteh, kâhruetcuetnae ka poe han. A hnânaw a tabuem awh dawkvah, thai thai awh hoeh. BAWIPA e lawk hah ahnimouh hane dudam e lah ao teh, thaingainae roeroe tawn awh hoeh.
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.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA e lungkhueknae hoi ka kawi teh ka khang thai hoeh toe. Lam dawk kaawm e camonaw hoi a kamkhueng e nawsainaw koe ka kamnue sak, yuvâ roi ni hot teh a khang han, matawng kum kacuenaw ni hai a khang awh 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.
A imlawnaw hoi a yunaw hai ayânaw koe koung ka poe han, ram thung vah kaawmnaw lathueng kai ni kut ka tha han toe, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
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.
Kathoengca koehoi kalenpoung koe totouh, tami pueng ni a hounloun awh, profetnaw hoi vaihmanaw hai la awh hoeh, laithoe dei hoi a kâroe awh.
14 And they healed the breach of the daughter of my people disgracefully, saying: Peace, peace: and there was no peace.
Ka taminaw e a hmâ lah ahawi han doeh, ahawi han doeh ati awh teh, phouhoucalah a khet awh, hawi katang hoeh.
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.
Panuet ka tho e hno a sak awh navah a kaya awh maw. Kayak awh hoeh. Kayak roeroe awh hoeh. Minhmai kangna hai paling awh hoeh. Hatdawkvah, karawmnaw koe rawp awh van han, kai ni ahnimanaw ka rek toteh, ahnimanaw teh rahim lah a bo awh han telah BAWIPA ni ati.
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.
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, lam dawk kangdout nateh, khenhaw! ayan e lamruem hah pacei nateh, lam kahawi namaw ao telah pacei awh nateh, hote lam dawk dawn awh, telah pawiteh na muitha hanlah kâhatnae na hmu awh han. Hatei, nangmouh ni hote lam dawk ka cet awh mahoeh na ti awh.
17 And I appointed watchmen over you, saying: Hearken ye to the sound of the trumpet. And they said: We will not hearken.
Kai ni nangmouh hanelah karingkung tami ka hmoun, mongka lawk thai awh! na ti pouh awh. Hatei, nangmouh ni, ka thai awh mahoeh na ti awh.
18 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what great things I will do to them.
Hatdawkvah, miphunnaw thai awh haw, taminaw voi, ahnimanaw e lathueng ka phat hane hah pâkuem van awh.
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.
Oe talai, thai haw! hete taminaw lathueng vah, ronae ka pha sak han toe, amamouh ni a pouknae a paw letlang ni bangkongmaw kaie lawk hoi kâlawk a pahnawt awh.
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.
Sheba e hmuitui hoi kho hlanae koehoi e kacingtui ka radip e kai ni bangmaw ka ti nahan. Nangmae hmaisawi thuengnae ka dâw mahoeh, sathei thuengnae ni ka lunghawi sak mahoeh.
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.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, hete taminaw hmalah tâlaw nahan ka ta pouh han. A napanaw hoi a canaw ni a tâlaw awh han, imri hoi huikonaw rei a rawk awh han, ati.
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.
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, khenhaw! atunglae ram koehoi ransanaw a tho toe, talai poutnae koehoi miphun kalenpoung kamthaw toe.
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.
Pala hoi tahroe patuep awh teh, tamikathout, pahrennae roeroe ka tawn hoeh naw lah ao. A pawlawk teh tuipui pawlawk patetlah ao teh, marang dawk a kâcui awh teh, tamipueng senehmaica a kâmahrawk awh teh, Oe! Zion canu, nang tuk hanlah a tho awh toe, ati.
24 We have heard the fame thereof, our hands grow feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, as a woman in labor.
Ahnimae kamthang ka thai awh navah, ka kut tha pouk a bo. Runae teh manu ni ca khe patawnae a khang e patetlah khik na moum toe.
25 Go not out into the fields, nor walk in the highway: for the sword of the enemy, and fear is on every side.
Kahrawng tâcawt awh hanh, lam dawk hai cet awh hanh awh, tarannaw koe tahloi ao, avoivang taki a tho.
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.
Oe! Ka tami canunaw voi, buri kâkhu awh nateh, vaiphu dawk kamawp awh nateh, capa buet touh dueng kadout e ka khai e patetlah kap awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, vaitalahoi karaphoekung teh maimae lathueng a pha han toe.
27 I have set thee for a strong trier among my people: and thou shalt know and prove their way.
Ka taminaw katanoukkung hoi pakhingpalang hanelah na sak, telah pawiteh doeh ahnimae nuencang hah na pathoup thai awh tih.
28 All of these princes go out of the way, they walk deceitfully, they are brass and iron: they are all corrupted.
Ahnimouh teh a lungpata awh ni teh tarankathaw e, tamthoe kadeinaw doeh, rahum hoi sum patetlah ao awh teh, abuemlahoi kahawihoehe dueng katâcawtkhaikung lah ao awh.
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.
Konlawk hai hmai dawk a kahma toe, hmaipho hai a tum toe. Tamikathoutnaw teh kangcing awh roeroe hoeh rah.
30 Call them reprobate silver, for the Lord hath rejected them.
Hotnaw teh BAWIPA ni a pahnawt toung dawkvah, ayânaw ni nguneinaw telah ati pouh awh han, telah ati.
