Jeremiah 22
1 This is what the Lord says: Go to the palace of the king of Judah and give this message.
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, Judah siangpahrang im vah cet nateh hete lawk hah dei pouh.
2 Tell them: Listen to what the Lord has to say to you, king of Judah, sitting on the throne of David, you and your officials and the people here with you.
Oe! Judah siangpahrang Devit e bawitungkhung dawk ka tahung e nang hoi na sannaw hoi, na taminaw hi kâennaw hoi BAWIPA lawk hah thai awh haw.
3 This is what the Lord says: Do what is fair and right. Protect those who are being unjustly treated by corrupt people. Don't do anything wrong to foreigners, orphans, or the widows. Don't use violence against them. Don't kill innocent people.
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, kalancalah lawkceng awh nateh, thoebonae kut dawk hoi a man awh e naw hah rungngang awh. Imyin hoi na pa ka tawn hoeh e naw, lahmainaw koe lanhoehnae hoi pacekpahleknae sak awh hanh.
4 If you will honestly do what I tell you, then kings who sit on David's throne will ride on chariots and horses with their officials through the gates of this palace. They'll be accompanied by the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, hete lawk heh na tarawi awh katang boipawiteh, Devit e bawitungkhung dawk e siangpahrangnaw hoi leng hoi marang kâcui hoi ama hoi a sannaw hoi a taminaw hoi longkha dawk a kâen thai awh han ei.
5 But if you refuse to obey what I say, then I swear by myself, declares the Lord, that this palace will be turned into rubble.
Hatei, hete lawk hah banglahai na ngai awh hoehpawiteh, hete im heh koung a houng han, telah amahoima thoe a kâbo telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
6 This is what the Lord says about the royal family of the king of Judah: You are as dear to me as the forests on Gilead and on the mountains of Lebanon. But I will turn you into a desert, into towns where no one lives.
BAWIPA ni Judah imthungkhu koevah, hettelah a dei, nang teh kai hanlah Gilead patetlah hoi, Lebanon mon patetlah doeh na o. Hatei kingdi e kahrawng hoi apinihai a ring hoeh e kho patetlah na coung sak han.
7 I will choose men to come and destroy you, each with their own ax. They will chop down your fine cedars and throw them in the fire.
Nang na kâraphoe hanelah senehmaica sin hoi kâcai han, na rawi e sidar thing hah tâtueng awh vaiteh, hmai hoi a sawi awh han.
8 Foreigners from many nations will pass by this city and ask each another, “Why has the Lord done such terrible things to this great city?”
Miphun moikapap ni hete kho hah rakan awh vaiteh, tamipueng ni amae a imri koevah, Cathut ni hete ka lentoe e khopui hah bangkongmaw hettelah khuet a tho sak vai telah ati awh han.
9 People will answer, “Because they broke the agreement of the Lord their God. They went and worshiped other gods.”
Amamae Cathut BAWIPA lawkkamnae hah a ceitakhai awh teh, alouke cathut a bawk awh teh, a thaw a tawk pouh awh dawkvah telah a pathung han.
10 Don't weep over the king that died. Don't mourn for him. Instead weep for the king who is exiled, who will never return, who will never see his homeland again.
Kadoutnaw hah khui awh hanh, rabui hai rabui awh hanh. Kahmatnaw hane paleipalang teh puenghoi khuikapkhai awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, bout a ban thai hoeh han toung dawkvah, a tâconae ram a hmu hoeh han toung dawkvah.
11 This is what the Lord says about Jehoahaz of Josiah, king of Judah. He succeeded his father Josiah but was taken away. He will never return.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Judah siangpahrang Shallum Josiah capa, a na pa Josiah yueng lah kaukkung hete hmuen koehoi ka cet e kong dawkvah, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, hivah bout ban mahoeh toe.
12 He will die in exile; he will never see this country again.
San lah a ceikhainae hmuen koe hawvah a due roeroe han, hete ram heh hmawt mahoeh toe.
13 Trouble is coming to Jehoiakim because he mistreats others in building his palace, by dealing unfairly with those constructing the upper floors. He makes his own people work for nothing—he doesn't pay them any wages.
Lanhoehnae lahoi im a sak teh, kalanhoehe lahoi imvannaw a sak teh, a yawn lahoi amahoima, hoi a imri a thayung a hno teh kutphu poe laipalah kaawm e teh lungmathoe hanlah a o.
14 He says to himself, “I'm going to build myself a great palace, with large upper rooms.” He has windows inserted, puts in cedar panels, and paints it bright red with vermilion.
Im kalenpoung lah imvan tawn e ka sak han. Hlalangaw hah ka paawng vaiteh, disar thing hoi be ka sak vaiteh, a rong ka paling e ka hluk vai na ka tet nang, lungmathoe hanlah ao.
15 Does it make you a king just because you have more cedar than anyone else? Your father had food and drink, didn't he? He ruled fairly and honestly, and he had a good life because of this.
Sidar thing hoi houk na sak kecu dawk siangpahrang lah na pouk maw. Na pa niyah, a ca a nei teh, kalanhoehe lah lawk a ceng nahoehmaw. Hot teh ama hanlah ahawi ngoun.
16 He defended the poor and those in need, and so things went well. Isn't this what knowing me really means? declares the Lord.
Tami roedeng hoi kavoutthoupnaw koung ka pouk pouh, hottelah ahawi. Hetheh na panue hane kawi nahoehmaw, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
17 But all you're looking for, all you think about, is getting whatever you want, however dishonestly. You kill the innocent, you violently mistreat and exploit your people.
Hatei kâsokâroumnae hoi kayonhoehe theinae hoi, repcoungroe hane hoi, kâutnae dueng hah na mit hoi na lung ni a pouk.
18 So this is what the Lord says about Jehoiakim, son of Josiah, king of Judah: They won't mourn for him, saying: “How sad, my brother! How sad my sister!” They won't mourn for him, saying: “How sad, my lord! How sad, his majesty!”
Hatdawkvah, Judah siangpahrang Jehoiakim Josiah capa kong dawk, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Aya! ka hmaunawngha hoehpawiteh, Aya! ka tawncanu telah khui awh mahoeh. Aya! Ka pâtukung hoehpawiteh, aya! a sungrennae hah telah khui awh mahoeh.
19 His burial will be that of a donkey. He'll be dragged off and thrown away outside the gates of Jerusalem.
Jerusalem longkha alawilah vah, la pakawp e patetlah a pakawp awh han.
20 Go to Lebanon and cry for help! Shout in Bashan! Scream from Abarim! For all your lovers have been destroyed.
Lebanon mon dawk luen awh nateh hram awh. Bashan vah hram awh haw, Abarim hmuen koe hram awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na huinaw pueng be a due awh toe.
21 I warned you when you thought you were safe and sound. But you replied, “I'm not going to listen!” That's been your attitude since you were young—you never did what I told you.
Na kuepcing awh lahunnah, nang koe lawk ka dei hane, nang ni ka thai mahoeh telah na ti. Ka lawk na thai ngai hoeh e heh, na nawca hoi e na nuencang doeh.
22 The wind will blow away all your “shepherds,” and your lovers will go into exile. Then you will be shamed and disgraced because of all the evil things you've done.
Kahlî ni nange tukhoumnaw be a ca han. Na huikonaw hah san a toung awh han. Hottelahoi na hawihoehnae dawk kayayeirai phu lahoi na o roeroe hah.
23 You who live in “Lebanon” in your cedar nest, how much you're going to groan when agonizing pains hit you like a woman in labor.
Oe! Lebanon mon dawk kho ka sak ni teh, sidar thing koe tabu katukkung patawnae na lathueng a pha toteh, pahren ka tho kawi lah na o hanelah ca ka khe e ni pataw a khang e patetlah doeh ao han.
24 The Lord said to Jehoiachin, son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah: As I live, declares the Lord, even if you were a signet ring on a finger of my right hand, I would pull you off.
Kai ka hring e patetlah BAWIPA ni a dei. Judah siangpahrang Jehoiakim capa, Koniah teh ka kut aranglae min thutnae kuthrawt lah kaawm nakunghai, hote hmuen koehoi na phawk han.
25 I'm going to hand you over to those who terrify you and who want to kill you, to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and the Babylonians.
Thei hanelah na katawngkung, mei hmu hanelah na taki e naw kut dawk, Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar kut hoi Khaldeannaw e a kut dawk na poe awh han.
26 I'm going to throw you out—you and the mother who gave birth to you—sending you to another country. Neither of you were born there, but both of you will die there.
Na khenae kho dawk laipalah, ram alouke dawk nang hoi na kakhenkung na manu heh, na tâkhawng vaiteh hawvah na due han.
27 You won't ever return to the country you love so much.
Hateiteh ban han na ngaipoungnae ram dawk na ban mahoeh toe.
28 Who is this man Jehoiachin? A broken pot that's been thrown away, something nobody wants? Why has he and his children been thrown out, exiled in an unfamiliar country?
Hete Koniah heh ka rek e hlaam dudam hane kawi lah awmhoeh na maw. Athung vah ngai hane kawi kaawm hoeh e hlaam nahoehmaw. Bangkongmaw ama hoi a catounnaw alawilah, a tâco sak teh, panue boihoeh e ram dawk tâkhawng e lah ao awh vaw.
29 My country, my country, my country! Listen to what the Lord has to say!
Oe! talai talai talai, BAWIPA e lawk hah thai haw,
30 This is what the Lord says: Put this man down as having no children. He's a man who won't ever be successful in his whole life. None of his children will ever be successful either. None of them will sit on David's throne or be king in Judah.
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Hete tami heh ca tawn laipalah a hringyung thung vah a lamthung ka cawn hoeh hate tami doeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a catounnaw hai apihai a lamcawn niteh, Devit e bawitungkhung dawk tahung hane hoi, Judah kaukkung lah awm awh mahoeh telah a ti.
