Jeremiah 4
1 O Israel, if thou returne, returne vnto me, saith the Lord: and if thou put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remoue.
Israel aw na mael mak atah BOEIPA kah olphong om coeng, kamah taengla na mael mako. Namah dongkah sarhingkoi te ka mikhmuh lamkah na nong tak atah na rhaehba mahpawh.
2 And thou shalt sweare, The Lord liueth in trueth, in iudgement, and in righteousnesse, and the nations shall be blessed in him, and shall glorie in him.
Hingnah BOEIPA taengah oltak neh, tiktamnah neh, duengnah neh toemngam saeh. Amah dongah namtom rhoek a yoethen uh vetih amah ming neh a thangthen uh ni.
3 For thus saith the Lord to the men of Iudah, and to Ierusalem,
He he BOEIPA loh Judah hlang neh Jerusalem taengah a thui. Namamih kah khohai te yawt uh laeh, hling puem ah tawn boeh.
4 Breake vp your fallowe ground, and sowe not among the thornes: be circumcised to the Lord, and take away the foreskinnes of your hearts, ye men of Iudah, and inhabitants of Ierusalem, lest my wrath come foorth like fire, and burne, that none can quenche it, because of the wickednesse of your inuentions.
Judah hlang neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek aw BOEIPA taengah rhet uh lamtah na thinko hmuicue te hlap uh laeh. Ka kosi he hmai bangla puek vetih dom tarha ve. Na khoboe thaenah dongah aka thih om mahpawh.
5 Declare in Iudah, and shewe forth in Ierusalem, and say, Blowe the trumpet in the lande: cry, and gather together, and say, Assemble your selues, and let vs goe into strong cities.
Judah ah puen pah lamtah Jerusalem ah yaak sak uh. Kho tom ah tuki te ueng, ueng lamtah thui pah. A baetawt la khue lamtah, “Coi uh thae laeh, khopuei hmuencak te paan uh sih,” ti uh.
6 Set vp the standart in Zion: prepare to flee, and stay not: for I will bring a plague from the North, and a great destruction.
Zion benah rholik thoh laeh, bakuep uh laeh, uelh uh boeh. Kai loh tlangpuei lamkah yoethaenah neh pocinah tanglue te kang khuen.
7 The lyon is come vp from his denne, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is departed, and gone forth of his place to lay thy land waste, and thy cities shalbe destroyed without an inhabitant.
Sathueng te a puep lamkah ha thoeng. Namtom rhoek aka phae khaw hlah uh coeng. Na khohmuen neh na khopuei rhoek te imsuep la khueh ham a hmuen lamkah coe coeng tih khosa om kolla a hnueih uh ni.
8 Wherefore girde you with sackecloth: lament, and howle, for the fierce wrath of the Lord is not turned backe from vs.
Te dongah tlamhni bai uh laeh, rhaengsae uh lamtah rhung uh laeh. BOEIPA kah thintoek thinsa tah mamih lamloh a mael moenih.
9 And in that day, saith the Lord, the heart of the King shall perish, and the heart of the princes and the Priestes shall be astonished, and the Prophets shall wonder.
BOEIPA kah olphong te a khohnin ah om ni. Manghai kah lungbuei neh mangpa rhoek kah lungbuei khaw moelh ni. Khosoih rhoek te pong uh vetih tonghma rhoek khaw a ngaihmang uh ni.
10 Then saide I, Ah, Lord God, surely thou hast deceiued this people and Ierusalem, saying, Ye shall haue peace, and the sworde perceth vnto the heart.
Te vaengah, “Ya-oe, ka Boeipa Yahovah aih, he kah pilnam neh Jerusalem taengah na rhaithi la rhep na rhaithi coeng. ‘Nangmih taengah ngaimongnah om ni,’ na ti vaengah cunghang loh ka hinglu a ben,” ka ti nah.
11 At that time shall it bee saide to this people and to Ierusalem, A dry winde in the hie places of the wildernes commeth towarde ye daughter of my people, but neither to fanne nor to clense.
Te khohnin ah tah he pilnam taeng neh Jerusalem taengah thui pah. Caphoei cuk kah hli hueng loh khosoek kah ka pilnam nu longpuei a hooi uh te aka rhuek ham pawt tih aka hlaai ham moenih.
12 A mightie winde shall come vnto me from those places, and nowe will I also giue sentence vpon them.
Te lakah aka tlung khohli te kai lamloh ha pawk coeng. Kai khaw amih taengah laitloeknah ka thui.
13 Beholde, he shall come vp as the cloudes, and his charets shalbe as a tempest: his horses are lighter then eagles. Woe vnto vs, for wee are destroyed.
A caeh khaw cingmai bangla, a leng khaw cangpalam bangla ke. Anunae mamih aka rhoelrhak ham kah a marhang rhoek mah atha rhoek lakah tahoeng ke.
14 O Ierusalem, wash thine heart from wickednes, that thou maiest be saued: how long shall thy wicked thoughtes remaine within thee?
Jerusalem, na lungbuei boethae lakah te sil uh laeh. Te daengah ni n'khang pueng eh. Me hil nim na ko khuikah na boethae kopoek dongah na rhaehba ve.
15 For a voyce declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.
Ol ngawn tah Dan lamloh ha puen coeng tih omthae omlang khaw Ephraim tlang lamloh n'yaak coeng.
16 Make ye mention of the heathen, and publish in Ierusalem, Beholde, the skoutes come from a farre countrey, and crie out against the cities of Iudah.
Namtom rhoek te thoelh sak uh. khohla bangsang kho lamkah aka pawk rhoek loh a dum uh te Jerusalem taengah yaak sak ne. A ol neh Judah khopuei rhoek a huttet uh.
17 They haue compassed her about as the watchmen of the fielde, because it hath prouoked me to wrath, saith the Lord.
Kai n'koek coeng dongah kaepvai lamloh khohmuen aka hung bangla a om thil uh.
18 Thy wayes and thine inuentions haue procured thee these things, such is thy wickednesse: therefore it shall be bitter, therefore it shall perce vnto thine heart.
Na khosing neh na khoboe loh namah soah han saii. Na boethae loh na lungbuei te hlut a toeh tangkik coeng.
19 My bely, my bely, I am pained, euen at the very heart: mine heart is troubled within me: I cannot be still: for my soule hath heard the sounde of the trumpet, and the alarme of the battell.
Kai bung, kai ko aih, aka vawn bangla ka lungbuei hop ah ka lamtawn coeng. Ka lungbuei loh ka khuiah hue a sak. Tuki ol ah ka omlip pawh. Aw ka hinglu caemtloek kah tamlung te na yaak rhoe na yaak coeng.
20 Destruction vpon destruction is cryed, for the whole lande is wasted: suddenly are my tents destroyed, and my curtaines in a moment.
Pocinah soah pocinah loh a khue tih khohmuen boeih te buengrhuet a rhoelrhak coeng. Ka dap neh ka himbaiyan khaw mikhaptok ni a rhoelrhak uh.
21 Howe long shall I see the standert, and heare the sounde of the trumpet?
Me hil nim rholik ka hmuh vetih tuki ol te ka yaak eh.
22 For my people is foolish, they haue not knowen me: they are foolish children, and haue none vnderstanding: they are wise to doe euill, but to doe well they haue no knowledge.
Ka pilnam kah a ang dongah kai m'ming uh pawh. Amih lunghmang camoe loh amamih nawn khaw yakming uh thae pawh. Amih te thaehuet ham tah cueih uh dae a then ham tah ming uh pawh.
23 I haue looked vpon the earth, and loe, it was without forme and voide: and to the heauens, and they had no light.
Diklai he ka hmuh vaengah hinghong la hoeng coeng ke. Vaan ah khaw a vangnah om pawh.
24 I behelde the mountaines: and loe, they trembled and all the hilles shooke.
Tlang rhoek te ka hmuh vaengah hinghuen uh tih som rhoek khaw boeih ngooi coeng ke.
25 I behelde, and loe, there was no man, and all the birdes of the heauen were departed.
Ka hmuh vaengah hlang om pawt tih vaan kah vaa khaw boeih poeng uh coeng ke.
26 I behelde, and loe, the fruitfull place was a wildernesse, and all the cities thereof were broken downe at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce wrath.
Ka hmuh vaengah cangphil cangngol te khosoek la poeh coeng ke. A khopuei boeih te BOEIPA mikhmuh neh amah kah thintoek thinsa hmai ah palet uh coeng.
27 For thus hath the Lord saide, The whole lande shall be desolate: yet will I not make a full ende.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “Diklai pum he khopong la om ni. Tedae a boeihnah hil ka saii mahpawh.
28 Therefore shall the earth mourne, and the heauens aboue shall be darkened, because I haue pronounced it: I haue thought it, and will not repent, neither will I turne backe from it.
Te dongah diklai he nguekcoi vetih vaan khaw a so ah kopang uh ni. Ka mangtaeng tih ka thui coeng dongah damti kolla anih ka mael tak mahpawh.
29 The whole citie shall flee, for the noyse of the horsemen and bowemen: they shall goe into thickets, and clime vp vpon the rockes: euery citie shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
marhang caem neh lii phuk ol ah khopuei khaw boeih yong coeng. Khomai khuila ael uh tih thaelsawk dongah yoeng uh. Khopuei te boeih a hnoo uh tih a khuikah khosa pakhat khaw om pawh.
30 And when thou shalt be destroyed, what wilt thou doe? Though thou clothest thy selfe with skarlet, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of golde, though thou paintest thy face with colours, yet shalt thou trimme thy selfe in vaine: for thy louers will abhorre thee and seeke thy life.
Nang ngawn tah, nang ngawn tah n'rhoelrhak coeng. A lingdik na bai tih, sui cangen na oi khaw, na mik ah mikdum neh na phen te banim na saii. Na sawtthen khaw a poeyoek la, nang te na pumben rhoek loh n'hnawt uh tih na hinglu a toem uh.
31 For I haue heard a noyse as of a woman trauailing, or as one labouring of her first child, euen the voyce of the daughter Zion that sigheth and stretcheth out her handes: woe is me nowe: for my soule fainteth because of the murtherers.
Ol pakhat te satloh bangla ka yaak. Zion nu kah ol camueng bangla citcai a yaak. A kut a phuel tih sa-oe sut. Anunae kai aih he hlang aka ngawn rhoek taengah ka hinglu loh lamlum sut.
