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.
Oe, Isarel na ban pawiteh, kai koe vah ban, telah BAWIPA ni ati. Panuet na thonae hah ka hmaitung hoi na tâkhawng pawiteh, puen e lah na awm mahoeh toe.
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.
BAWIPA teh a hring, telah lawkkatang hoi lawkcengnae hoi, lannae dawk lawk na kam vaiteh, BAWIPA lahoi miphunnaw pueng ni amamouh dawk yaw ka hawi e lah ao awh han. Ahnimouh dawk pholennae lah ao awh han telah ati.
3 For thus saith the Lord to the men of Iudah, and to Ierusalem,
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Judah taminaw hoi Jerusalem taminaw koe BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Na laikawknaw hah kanawk awh nateh, pâkhing um vah cati tu hanh awh.
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.
Nangmouh Judah taminaw hoi Jerusalem vah kho kasaknaw hanelah namamae lungthin vuensom hah a awh telah nahoeh pawiteh, yonnae na sak e kecu dawkvah, ka lungkhueknae teh hmai patetlah tawk vaiteh, apinihai padout thai laipalah na kang payon awh vaih.
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 ram dawk pathang nateh, Jerusalem vah pâpho awh. Ram thung vah, mongka ueng nateh hram awh. Cungtalah kamkhueng nateh, rapan ka tawn e kho dawkvah, kâen awh sei telah tet awh.
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 mon koelah lukkarei pathout awh. Roumnae tawng awh nateh uet hanh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, atunglah hoi kalenpounge rawknae hoi kathoute ka pha sak han.
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.
Ratu thung hoi sendek tâcawt vaiteh, miphunnaw ka raphoekung a tho lahun. Na ram hah raphoe hanelah a onae hmuen koehoi a tâco toe. Na khopui hah tami ao hoeh na hanlah a raphoe awh han.
8 Wherefore girde you with sackecloth: lament, and howle, for the fierce wrath of the Lord is not turned backe from vs.
Hat kecu dawkvah, burihni kâkhu awh nateh kap awh haw. Hramki awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka patawpoung e BAWIPA lungkhueknae hah maimouh koehoi kamlang hoeh rah.
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.
Hote hnin dawk teh hettelah ao han telah BAWIPA ni ati. Siangpahrang hoi kahrawikungnaw e lungthin hah puen tâsue laihoi ao awh han. Vaihmanaw hah kângairu lah awm awh vaiteh, profetnaw ni a lungpout awh han.
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.
Hahoi kai ni Oe! Bawipa Jehovah, hete taminaw hoi Jerusalem hah pueng hoi na dum toe, tahloi ni a hringnae a thut navah, roumnae na hmu han na ti telah ka ti.
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.
Hatnae tueng dawk teh, hete taminaw hoi Jerusalem koe, kahrawng arasangnae cailum hmuen koehoi kabetpoung e kahlî ni ka taminaw hoi ka canunaw koe lah ahnimouh palek sak hane hoi thoung sak hanelah laipalah kahlî a tho han.
12 A mightie winde shall come vnto me from those places, and nowe will I also giue sentence vpon them.
Hotnaw hanelah ka patawpoung e kahlî kai koehoi a tho han. Ahnimouh taranlahoi lawkcengnae hai ka dei han, telah tie lah ao han.
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.
Khenhaw! tâmai patetlah bongparui patetlah kaawm e rangleng hoi a tho han. A marang teh mataw hlak hai aranghnawn. Maimouh teh yawkathout e lah o awh, rawknae koe lah pha awh toe.
14 O Ierusalem, wash thine heart from wickednes, that thou maiest be saued: how long shall thy wicked thoughtes remaine within thee?
Oe, Jerusalem rungngang lah na o thai nahan, ka thout e lungthin hah thoung sak totouh maw pouk payonnae na thung vah ao han.
15 For a voyce declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Dan ram hoi lawk a tâco teh, Ephraim mon hoi kathoute hah a pâpho.
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.
Miphun tangkuem koe dei awh. Oe Jerusalem taranlahoi pâpho awh. Khenhaw! ram hlanae koehoi katuetnaw a tho teh, Judah khopuinaw taran lah hoi a hram awh.
17 They haue compassed her about as the watchmen of the fielde, because it hath prouoked me to wrath, saith the Lord.
Kai na taran awh dawkvah, law karingkungnaw patetlah a tengpam hoi a kalup awh telah BAWIPA ni ati.
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 hringnae na nuencang hoi na tawksak e ni hete hno heh, na lathueng vah a pha sak. Hetteh kakhat e, na hawi awh hoeh nae lah ao dawkvah, na lungthin hah a thut.
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.
Oe, ka hringnae, ka hringnae, ka lungthin roeroe heh a patawpoung. Ka thung vah ka lungthin hanghangkâan. Duem kaawm thai hoeh. Tarantuknae pawlawk hoi kâhruetcuetnae mongka ueng e pawlawk hah na thai dawkvah Oe, ka hringnae duem kaawm thai hoeh.
20 Destruction vpon destruction is cryed, for the whole lande is wasted: suddenly are my tents destroyed, and my curtaines in a moment.
Rawknae dawkvah rawknae a hram. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ramnaw pueng hah a rawk toe. Kaie lukkareiim hah vai touh hoi a rawk teh, lukkarei hai tawkkadek dawk a rawk.
21 Howe long shall I see the standert, and heare the sounde of the trumpet?
Atueng nâsittouh maw tarantuknae lukkarei hah ka hmu vaiteh, mongka lawk ka thai han vai.
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.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka taminaw teh a pathu poung dawkvah, kai na panuek awh hoeh. Camo ka pathu e panuenae ka tawn hoeh e patetlah ao awh. Kathout e sak hanelah a lungang awh eiteh, hawinae sak hane panuek awh hoeh.
23 I haue looked vpon the earth, and loe, it was without forme and voide: and to the heauens, and they had no light.
Talai ka khet navah a hrawnghrang pui lah ao. Kalvan hai ka khet navah, a angnae awm hoeh.
24 I behelde the mountaines: and loe, they trembled and all the hilles shooke.
Mon hai ka khet navah, koung a pâyaw. Monruinaw pueng hai koung kâkapek
25 I behelde, and loe, there was no man, and all the birdes of the heauen were departed.
Ka khet navah, taminaw hai awm hoeh. Kalvan e tavanaw pueng hai koung kamleng.
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 khet navah kahawi e law hah kahrawng lah ao toe. BAWIPA e hmalah, pueng hoi a lungkhueknae hmalah khopuinaw pueng hai a rawp awh.
27 For thus hath the Lord saide, The whole lande shall be desolate: yet will I not make a full ende.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Ramnaw pueng kingdi han. Hateiteh, abuemlahoi teh ka pout sak mahoeh.
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.
Hote hno kecu dawk talai ni a cingou han. Lathueng lae kalvan hai a hmo han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka dei toung dawkvah, ka kâcai toe. Pankângai vaiteh, bout kamlang mahoeh toe.
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.
Marangransanaw hoi licung ka e pawlawk hoi khopui koung a yawng han. Ka hmawt e ratu thung vah kâen awh vaiteh, talung dawk a luen awh han. Khonaw pueng cettakhai vaiteh kho ka sak e buet touh boehai awm awh mahoeh.
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.
Na rawk torei teh, bangtelamaw na ti han. Ka paling e khohna nakunghai, sui puengcang hoi na kamthoup nakunghai, mitlakhuem na kâhluk nakunghai, aphu kaawm hoeh e na kamthoup rumram e doeh. Na thoundounnaw ni na dudam awh mingming han. Na hringnae thei hanlah a tawng awh han.
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.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, napui ni camo khe pataw khangnae kâhram pawlawk ka thai. Camin ka khe e ni pataw a khangnae doeh. Zion canu kâha a uek teh a kut a dâw teh ka yawthoe poung toe, bangtelah, tamikathoutnaw kecu dawk ka hringnae ka rei thai poung toe telah ati.
