Jeremiah 18
1 The worde which came to Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,
Jeremiah khaeah angzo Angraeng ih lok loe hae tiah oh;
2 Arise, and go downe into the potters house, and there shall I shewe thee my words.
angthawk ah loe, laom sahkung im ah caeh tathuk ah, to ah ka lok to kang thaisak han, tiah ang naa.
3 Then I went downe to the potters house, and behold, he wrought a worke on the wheeles.
To pongah laom sahkung im ah ka caeh tathuk, laom sah kami mah sak ih tok to ka hnuk.
4 And the vessell that he made of clay, was broken in the hand of the potter. so he returned, and made it another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
Amlai long hoiah a sak ih long laom loe, laom sah kami ih ban ah koih pae ving, to pongah anih mah hae tiah ka sak nahaeloe hoih tih, tiah a poek ih baktih toengah anih mah kalah laom to sak let.
5 Then the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
To naah Angraeng ih lok kai khaeah angzoh,
6 O house of Israel, cannot I doe with you as this potter, sayth the Lord? beholde, as the clay is in the potters hande, so are you in mine hande, O house of Israel.
Aw Israel imthung takoh, hae laom sah kami baktiah nangcae to ka sah thai mak ai maw? tiah Angraeng mah thuih. Khenah, Aw Israel imthung takoh, laom sah kami ih ban ah amlai long oh baktih toengah, nangcae doeh ka ban ah ni na oh o.
7 I will speake suddenly against a nation or against a kingdome to plucke it vp, and to roote it out and to destroy it.
Kawbaktih atue ah doeh prae maeto maw, siangpahrang ukkhaih prae maw aphong ving moe, amtimsak pacoengah, amrosak hanah ka thuih naah,
8 But if this nation, against whom I haue pronounced, turne from their wickednesse, I will repent of the plague that I thought to bring vpon them.
acoehaih ka paek ih prae kaminawk mah a sak o ih kasae hmuen hoiah amlaem o let nahaeloe, nihcae nuiah sak han ka poek ih amrohaih to ka zuh let han.
9 And I wil speake suddenly concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdome to builde it and to plant it.
Kalah atue ah, prae maeto maw, siangpahrang ukhaih prae maw ka sak moe, kang doetsak han, tiah ka thuih,
10 But if it do euill in my sight and heare not my voyce, I will repent of ye good that I thought to do for them.
toe prae mah ka mikhnuk ah sethaih to sah moe, ka lok tahngai ai nahaeloe, nihcae atho ohhaih ka sak pae han, tiah ka thuih ih lok to ka zuh let han.
11 Speake thou nowe therefore vnto the men of Iudah, and to the inhabitants of Ierusalem, saying, Thus saith ye Lord, Behold, I prepare a plague for you, and purpose a thing against you: returne you therefore euery one from his euill way, and make your wayes and your workes good.
To pongah khenah, vaihi Angraeng mah, nang hanah sethaih ka sak moe, nang hanah misa ah ohhaih ahmuen to ka suek boeh; to pongah kami boih kasae sakhaih loklam hoiah amlaem oh, na caeh o haih loklam hoiah na sak o ih hmuennawk to pakhrai oh, tiah Judah kaminawk hoi Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk khaeah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
12 But they sayde desperately, Surely wee will walke after our owne imaginations, and doe euery man after the stubburnnesse of his wicked heart.
Toe nihcae mah, Oep han koi om ai; kaicae loe kaimacae poekhaih baktiah ni ka caeh o han, kasae poekhaih palung mah thuih ih lok baktiah ni kami boih mah ka sak o han, tiah thuih o.
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Aske now among the heathen, who hath heard such thinges? the virgin of Israel hath done very filthily.
To pongah Angraeng mah, Kacuem Israel tangla mah panuet thok hmuen to sak boeh. To baktih kahoih ai hmuennawk to na thaih o vaih maw? tiah Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk khaeah vaihi dueng o noek ah.
14 Will a man forsake the snowe of Lebanon, which commeth from the rocke of the fielde? or shall the colde flowing waters, that come from another place, be forsaken?
Lebanon mae nui ih dantui loe amkaw vai maw? Kangthla ahmuen hoiah kalong angqai parai tuinawk loe kang o tih maw?
15 Because my people hath forgotten me, and haue burnt incense to vanitie, and their prophets haue caused them to stumble in their wayes from the auncient wayes, to walke in the pathes and way that is not troden,
Toe kai ih kaminawk mah loe kai to pahnet o, tidoeh athum ai sakcop ih krangnawk khaeah hmuihoih to a thlaek o, krangnawk mah nihcae to canghnii ah pazui o ih loklam kangquem ah caeh haih moe, amthaeksak, kahoih loklam ah caehsak ai, tuk ai ih kasae loklam ah ni a caehsak.
16 To make their land desolate and a perpetual derision, so that euery one that passeth thereby, shalbe astonished and wagge his head,
To tiah nihcae mah angmacae ih prae to amro o sak moe, minawk mah kasae thuihaih ah oh poe; to lam taengah kacaeh kaminawk loe dawnrai o moe, lu haek o.
17 I will scatter them with an East winde before the enemie: I will shewe them the backe, and not the face in the day of their destruction.
Ni angyae bang ih takhi baktiah, nihcae to misanawk hmaa ah kam hetsak han; raihaih a tongh o na niah, nihcae han mikhmai patuek ai ah, ka hnukbang ih kaeng to ka patuek lat han, tiah thuih.
18 Then sayde they, Come, and let vs imagine some deuice against Ieremiah: for the Lawe shall not perish from the Priest, nor counsell from the wise, nor the worde from the Prophet: come, and let vs smite him with the tongue, and let vs not giue heede to any of his words.
To naah nihcae mah, Sithaw lok patuk qaimanawk, poekhaih kahoih paek palungha kaminawk hoi lok taphong tahmaanawk a tawnh o boeh pongah, Angzo oh, Jeremiah hae hum hanah pacaeng o si. Angzo oh, Jeremiah to zaehaih net o si, a thuih ih loknawk doeh tahngai pae o hma si, tiah thuih o.
19 Hearken vnto mee, O Lord, and heare the voyce of them that contend with me.
Aw Angraeng, tahngai ah, kai zaehaih net kaminawk ih lok to tahngai ah.
20 Shall euill be recompensed for good? for they haue digged a pit for my soule: remember that I stood before thee, to speake good for the, and to turne away thy wrath from them.
Kahoih hmuen to kasae hmuen hoiah na pathok han maw? Nihcae loe ka hinghaih aphum hanah tangqom takaeh o boeh. Nihcae hoihhaih kawng to thuih moe, nihcae khae hoi palung na phuihaih paqoi let hanah, na hmaa ah kang doet, tito panoek ah.
21 Therefore, deliuer vp their children to famine, and let them drop away by the force of the sworde, and let their wiues be robbed of their children, and be widowes: and let their husbands be put to death, and let their yong men be slayne by the sword in the battell.
Toe nihcae to sumsen hoiah athii longsak ah loe, a caanawk to khokhahaih tongsak ah; a caanawk duek o pongah, nihcae ih zu loe lamhmai ah om o nasoe; saning coeh kaminawk to hum o nasoe loe, thendoengnawk to misatukhaih ahmuen ah sumsen hoiah hum o nasoe.
22 Let the crye bee heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring an hoste suddenly vpon them: for they haue digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feete.
Nihcae tuk hanah misa na kawk naah, nihcae imthung hoiah hanghaih lok to angthaih nasoe; nihcae loe kai kraksak hanah tangqom takaeh o, ka khok aman hanah thaang ang patung pae o.
23 Yet Lord thou knowest al their counsel against me tendeth to death: forgiue not their iniquitie, neither put out their sinne from thy sight, but let them be ouerthrowen before thee: deale thus with them in the time of thine anger.
Toe, Angraeng, nihcae mah kai hum han thuih ih loknawk to na panoek; nihcae zaehaih to tahmen hmah, na mikhnuk ah nihcae zaehaih to takhoe pae hmah, na hmaa ah nihcae to va o nasoe loe, palung na phuihaih atue phak naah, nihcae to lokcaek ah.
