Jeremiah 13
1 This is what the Lord told me to do: Go and buy yourself a linen loincloth and put it on, but don't wash it.
BOEIPA loh kai taengah he ni a thui. Cet lamtah namah ham hlamik hailaem te lai. Te te na cinghen dongah yen lamtah tui dongah tah khuen boeh.
2 So I went and bought a loincloth as the Lord had instructed me, and I put it on.
Te dongah BOEIPA ol bangla hailaem te ka lai tih ka cinghen ah ka naak.
3 Then the Lord gave me another message:
Te phoeiah BOEIPA ol te kai taengah a pabae la ha pawk tih,
4 Take the loincloth that you bought and put on, and go immediately to the River Perath and hide it there in a hole among the rocks.
“Na cinghen kah hailaem na lai te khuen laeh. Te phoeiah thoo lamtah Perath la paan lamtah thaelrhaep thaelpang khuiah pahoi det,” a ti.
5 So I went and hid it at the River Perath, as the Lord had told me.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh kai ng'uen bangla ka cet tih Perath ah hailaem te ka det.
6 A long time later the Lord told me, Go to Perath, and get the loincloth that I ordered you to hide there.
Tedae khohnin a thoknah muep a om phoeiah tah BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Thoo, Perath la cet lamtah te lamkah hailaem, te rhoek ah det ham nang kang uen te lo laeh,” a ti.
7 I went to Perath and dug up the loincloth, and removed it from where I'd hidden it. Obviously it was ruined—completely useless.
Te dongah Perath la ka cet tih ka too phoeiah hailaem te ka det nah hmuen lamloh pahoi ka loh. Tedae hailaem te poci tih a pum la thaihtak pawh ne.
8 Then a message from the Lord came to me:
Te phoeiah BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
9 This is what the Lord says: I will ruin the arrogance of Judah and the great arrogance of Jerusalem in exactly the same way.
“He tah BOEIPA long ni a thui, he tlam ni Judah kah hoemdamnah neh Jerusalem kah hoemdamnah aih khaw ka phae eh.
10 These evil people refuse to listen to what I tell them. They follow their own stubborn and evil thinking and run off to worship other gods—they will be like this loincloth, completely useless.
Pilnam he thae tih ka ol hnatun ham huek uh. A lungbuei kah thinthahnah dongah pongpa uh tih, pathen tloe te thothueng ham neh bawk ham a paan uh. Te dongah he kah hailaem bangla om uh vetih boeih thaihtak mahpawh.
11 In the same way that a loincloth holds tightly to the body, so I made all the people of Israel and Judah hold tightly to me, declares the Lord. Then they could have been my people, representing me, giving me honor and praise. But they refused to listen.
Hlang kah cinghen ah hailaem a vaep bangla Israel imkhui boeih neh Judah imkhui pum he kamah taengah ka vaep coeng. Kai taengah pilnam la, ming om la, koehnah la, boeimang la om ham he BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni. Tedae a yaak uh moenih.
12 So tell them this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Every wine jar shall be filled with wine. When they reply, “Don't we know that already? Of course every wine jar should be filled with wine!”
Te dongah amih taengah he kah ol he thui pah. He he Israel Pathen BOEIPA long ni a thui. Khap boeih te misurtui a bae vaengah tah namah te, 'Khap tom dongah misurtui a bae sak te ka ming khaw ka ming moenih a?' a ti uh.
13 then tell them that this is what the Lord says: I'm going to make everyone who lives in this land drunk—the kings sitting on David's throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the people of Jerusalem.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh a thui he amih taengah thui pah. Khohmuen kah khosa boeih te David kah ngolkhoel dongah aka ngol manghai rhoek khaw, khosoih rhoek khaw, tonghma rhoek khaw, Jerusalem khosa boeih kah rhuihahnah khaw ka hah sak coeng he.
14 I'm going to smash them against each other like wine jars, both parents and children, declares the Lord. I won't let any mercy or pity or compassion stop me from destroying them.
Te vaengah amih te hlang loh a manuca khaw, a napa rhoek neh a ca rhoek khaw ka phop ni. BOEIPA kah olphong bangla ka hnaih pawt vetih ka rhen mahpawh. Amih thup ham te ka haidam mahpawh,” a ti.
15 Listen and pay attention. Don't be arrogant, for the Lord has spoken.
Hnatun lamtah hnakaeng laeh, BOEIPA loh a thui coeng dongah namah sang voel boeh.
16 Honor the Lord your God before he brings the darkness, before you trip and fall in the twilight on the mountains. You long for light to come, but he send only gloom and complete darkness.
Hmuep hlan tih hlaemhmah tlang ah na kho a yawk hlan vaengah thangpomnah te BOEIPA na Pathen ham pae laeh. Vangnah te na lamtawn cakhaw dueknah hlipkhup la poeh vetih yinnah la pai rhoe pai ni.
17 But if you refuse to listen, I will weep secretly inside because of your pride. My tears pouring down because the Lord's flock has been captured.
Tedae na hnatun pawt akhaw ka hinglu he a huephael ah rhap bitni. Koevoeinah dongah rhap, rhap vetih BOEIPA kah tuping a sol dongah ka mik kah mikphi khaw long bitni.
18 Tell the king and the queen mother: Get down from your thrones, because your splendid crowns have fallen from your heads.
Manghai neh manghainu te, “Na lu kah na boeimang rhuisam tah tla pawn ni, kunyun lamtah khosa,” a ti nah.
19 The towns in the Negev are surrounded; no one can get through to them. The whole of Judah has been taken away into exile, everyone has been exiled.
Tuithim khopuei rhoek te a khaih vetih ong uh mahpawh. Judah te a pum la a sol tih ngaimong la a poelyoe.
20 Look up and you'll see the invaders coming from the north. Where is the flock that was given to you to look after? Where are the sheep you were so proud of?
Na mik te huel, huel lamtah tlangpuei lamkah aka pawk te hmu khaw hmuh van lah. Nang taengah m'paek tuping neh na boeimang boiva te melae?
21 What are you going to say when he puts your enemies in charge of you, people you once counted as your friends? Won't you suffer pains like a woman in labor?
Nang soah a hal tih na tukkil vaengah balae na thui eh? Amih te nang sokah na lu dongah boeihlum la om uh ni. Rhuihet neh nang m'pin uh vetih huta cacun bangla na om mahpawt nim?
22 If you say to yourself, Why has this happened to me? it's because you have been so wicked. That's why your skirts were stripped off and you were raped.
Te vaengah na thinko khuiah, “He he balae tih kai taengla ha cuuk,” na ti cakhaw namah kathaesainah a khawk dongah ni na hnihmoi hang khawn uh tih na khodil hang huet uh.
23 Can Ethiopians change the color of their skin? Can a leopard change its spots? In the same way you can't change and do good because you're so used to doing evil.
Kushi loh a vin, kaihlaeng loh a dikdek te a thovael thai nim? Nang khaw lolmang thaehuet loh na voelphoeng ham coeng thai nim?
24 I'm going to scatter you like chaff blown away by the desert wind.
Te dongah amih te khosoek khohli loh divawt a yawn bangla ka taekyak ni.
25 This is what's going to happen to you; this is what I have decided to do to you, declares the Lord, because you have forgotten me and believed in lies.
Na hmulung buham, na himbaidok he kai taeng lamkah ni tite BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Kai he nan hnilh tih a honghi dongah na pangtung coeng.
26 I will pull your skirts up over your face, so you will be seen naked and ashamed.
Te dongah kai loh na hnihmoi te na mikhmuh ah kang khawn van vetih na yah te tueng ni.
27 I watched your acts of adultery and lust, how you prostituted yourselves shamelessly, worshiping idols on the hills and in the fields. Yes, I saw the disgusting things you did. Disaster is coming to you, Jerusalem! How long are you going to remain unclean?
Na samphaihnah neh na phitnah, na pumyoihnah khonuen rhamtat neh nang te lohma kah som ah sarhingkoi la kam hmuh. Anunae Jerusalem nang te me hil nim na caihcil pawt pueng ve?
