Jeremiah 5
1 Run to and from by the streetes of Ierusalem, and beholde nowe, and knowe, and inquire in the open places thereof, if ye can finde a man, or if there be any that executeth iudgement, and seeketh the trueth, and I will spare it.
Jerusalem tollong ah van thikthuek uh lamtah hmu uh laeh. Ming uh lamtah a toltung ah tlap uh. Hlang na hmuh atah, tiktamnah a saii tih uepomnah a tlap atah anih te khodawk ka ngai ni.
2 For though they say, The Lord liueth, yet doe they sweare falsely.
BOEIPA kah hingnah tah a thui uh akhaw a honghi lam ni tangkhuet a toemngam uh.
3 O Lord, are not thine eyes vpon the trueth? thou hast striken them, but they haue not sorowed: thou hast consumed them, but they haue refused to receiue correction: they haue made their faces harder then a stone, and haue refused to returne.
BOEIPA aw na mik te uepomnah ham moenih a? Amih te na taam dae a tloh pah moenih. Amih te na khah akhaw thuituennah doe ham a aal uh. A maelhmai te thaelpang lakah a ning sak uh tih mael hamla a aal uh.
4 Therefore I saide, Surely they are poore, they are foolish, for they know not the way of the Lord, nor the iudgement of their God.
Kai tah amih te tattloel rhoek rhep ka ti ngawn. BOEIPA kah khosing neh a Pathen kah laitloeknah te a ming uh pawt dongah nga uh coeng.
5 I will get me vnto the great men, and will speake vnto them: for they haue knowen the way of the Lord, and the iudgement of their God: but these haue altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bondes.
Tanglue rhoek te kamah ham ka caeh thil vetih amih te ka voek ni. Amih loh BOEIPA kah khosing neh a Pathen kah laitloeknah te a ming uh ta. Tedae amih loh hnamkun te rhenten a bawt uh tih kuelrhui khaw a dul uh.
6 Wherefore a lyon out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolfe of the wildernesse shall destroy them: a leopard shall watch ouer their cities: euery one that goeth out thence, shall be torne in pieces, because their trespasses are many, and their rebellions are increased.
Te dongah amih te duup lamkah sathueng loh a ngawn ni. kolken uithang loh amih te a rhoelrhak ni. Kaihlaeng loh a khopuei soah a hak thil coeng tih te lamkah aka thoeng boeih te a ngaeh ni. Amih kah boekoek khaw pung aih coeng tih a hnuknong, a hnuknong uh rhoek mah tahoeng aih coeng.
7 Howe should I spare thee for this? thy children haue forsaken me, and sworne by them that are no gods: though I fed them to the full, yet they committed adulterie, and assembled them selues by companies in the harlots houses.
Te dongah mebang khodawkngai nen lae nang taengah khodawk ka ngai eh? Na ca rhoek loh kai n'hno uh tih pathen pawt nen khaw a toemngam uh. Amih te ka kum sak lalah samphaih uh tih pumyoi im la det uh.
8 They rose vp in the morning like fed horses: for euery man neyed after his neighbours wife.
Hlang he a vuelh phoeiah aka cuk marhang la poeh uh coeng tih a hui kah a yuu taengah khaw hlampan uh.
9 Shall I not visite for these things, saith the Lord? Shall not my soule be auenged on such a nation as this?
Te dongah ka cawh mahpawt nim? BOEIPA kah olphong ni he. Te bang namtom soah atah ka hinglu loh phulo mahpawt nim?
10 Clime vp vpon their walles, and destroy them, but make not a full ende: take away their batilments, for they are not the Lords.
Cet lamtah a vong te phae pah. Tedae a boeihnah hil tah saii boeh. A baek rhoek te khaw hlaek laeh. Te rhoek te BOEIPA ham moenih.
11 For the house of Israel, and the house of Iudah haue grieuously trespassed against me, saith the Lord.
Israel imkhui neh Judah imkhui he kai taengah hnukpoh tah hnukpoh uh coeng.
12 They haue denied the Lord, and saide, It is not he, neither shall the plague come vpon vs, neither shall we see sworde nor famine.
BOEIPA te a namnah uh tih, “Amah a om aih moenih. Mamih taengah yoethae neh cunghang khaw ha pawk mahpawh, khokha khaw m'hmuh uh mahpawh,” a ti uh.
13 And the Prophetes shall be as winde, and the worde is not in them: thus shall it come vnto them.
Tonghma rhoek khaw khohli bangla om uh tih a khuiah oltang katang la om uh pawh. Amih taengah saii pai saeh.
14 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of hostes, Because ye speake such wordes, beholde, I will put my wordes into thy mouth, like a fire, and this people shall be as wood, and it shall deuoure them.
A tangkhuet la Caempuei Pathen BOEIPA loh, “Nangmih loh hekah ol he na thui dongah, ka ol he kamah loh na ka dongah hmai bangla kang khueh coeng. Pilnam he thing la a hlawp coeng he.
15 Loe, I will bring a nation vpon you from farre, O house of Israel, saith the Lord, which is a mightie nation, and an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither vnderstandest what they say.
Israel imkhui aw khohla bangsang lamkah namtom te nang taengla kai loh kang khuen he. BOEIPA kah olphong ni he. Te namtom tah kuei tih khosuen lamkah namtom coeng ni. Te namtom te a ol na ming pawt tih a thui te khaw na yaak voel moenih.
16 Whose quiuer is as an open sepulchre: they are all very strong.
A liva khaw phuel bangla ah tih amih tah hlangrhalh boeih ni.
17 And they shall eate thine haruest and thy bread: they shall deuoure thy sonnes and thy daughters: they shall eate vp thy sheepe and thy bullocks: they shall eate thy vines and thy figge trees: they shall destroy with the sworde thy fenced cities, wherein thou didest trust.
Na cangah neh na buh a caak vetih, na ca tongpa rhoek neh na ca huta rhoek te khaw a dolh uh ni. Na boiva neh na saelhung te han yoop vetih na misur neh na thaibu khaw hang khok ni. A khuiah na pangtung thil na khopuei hmuencak rhoek te khaw cunghang neh han laih ni.
18 Neuerthelesse at those dayes, sayth the Lord, I will not make a full ende of you.
Te khohnin ah pataeng nangmih taengah a boeihnah hil ka saii mahpawh. BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni.
19 And when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the Lord our God doe these things vnto vs? then shalt thou answere them, Like as ye haue forsaken me and serued strange gods in your land, so shall ye serue strangers in a land that is not yours.
“He boeih he mamih Pathen BOEIPA loh balae tih mamih taengah a saii,” a ti uh tue a pha bitni. Te vaengah amih te, “Kai nan hnoo uh tih na khohmuen ah kholong pathen taengah tho na thueng uh.

20 Declare this in the house of Iaakob, and publish it in Iudah, saying,
He he Jakob imkhui taengah puen pah lamtah amah Judah khuiah khaw yaak sak.
21 Heare nowe this, O foolish people, and without vnderstanding, which haue eyes and see not, which haue eares and heare not.
Lunghmang neh lungbuei aka talh pilnam long he ya laeh saeh. Amih te mik om dae hmuh uh pawh. Amih te hna khaw a khueh uh dae ya uh pawh.
22 Feare ye not me, saith the Lord? or will ye not be afraide at my presence, which haue placed the sand for the bounds of the sea by the perpetuall decree that it cannot passe it, and though the waues thereof rage, yet can they not preuaile, though they roare, yet can they not passe ouer it?
Kai he nang rhih uh moenih a? BOEIPA kah olphong ni he. Ka mikhmuh ah na thuen uh mahpawt nim? Tuitunli ham khorhi la laivin ka khueh pah. Kumhal oltlueh phoeikah he a poe thai moenih. Tuen uh cakhaw a coeng uh moenih. A tuiphu rhoek loh kawk cakhaw te te a poeng uh moenih.
23 But this people hath an vnfaithfull and rebellious heart: they are departed and gone.
Tedae pilnam taengah he lungbuei thinthah neh aka koek ni a om uh. Te dongah taengphael uh tih pongpa uh.
24 For they say not in their heart, Let vs nowe feare the Lord our God, that giueth raine both early and late in due season: hee reserueth vnto vs the appointed weekes of the haruest.
A thinko khuiah pataeng, “Khonal neh rhotui, rhotui neh amah tue vaengkah tlankhol aka pae, a khosing bangla yalh a khueh tih mamih kah cangah aka ngaithuen Pathen BOEIPA te rhih pawn sih,” a ti uh moenih.
25 Yet your iniquities haue turned away these things, and your sinnes haue hindred good things from you.
Namamih kah thaesainah ah te rhoek loh n'rhael uh tih namamih kah tholhnah kongah hnothen loh nangmih taengah a hloh uh.
26 For among my people are founde wicked persons, that lay waite as hee that setteth snares: they haue made a pit, to catch men.
Ka pilnam khuiah halang rhoek ni ka hmuh. Sayuep loh a naat bangla a mae tih hlang tuuk ham thaang a tung uh.
27 As a cage is full of birdes, so are their houses full of deceite: thereby they are become great and waxen riche.
Boem dongah vaa a baetawt bangla amih im ah thailatnah baetawt tangkhuet. Te dongah ni a rhoeng uh tih a boei uh.
28 They are waxen fat and shining: they doe ouerpasse the deedes of the wicked: they execute no iudgement, no not the iudgement of the fatherlesse: yet they prosper, though they execute no iudgement for the poore.
Tha paduk neh hnal duihluih la boethae ol ni a loh uh. Dumlai dongah cadah kah dumlai tah lai a tloek uh kolla thaihtak uh tih khodaeng kah tiktamnah la laitloek uh pawh.
29 Shall I not visite for these things, sayth the Lord? or shall not my soule be auenged on such a nation as this?
Te rhoek dongah te ka cawh mahpawt nim? BOEIPA kah olphong ni he. Te vanbangla namtom soah khaw ka hinglu te phulo mahpawt nim?” a ti.
30 An horrible and filthie thing is committed in the land.
Imsuep neh rhih-om he diklai ah thoeng.
31 The Prophets prophesie lies, and ye Priests receiue giftes in their handes, and my people delite therein. What will ye then doe in the ende thereof?
Tonghma rhoek khaw a honghi la tonghma uh. Khosoih rhoek loh a kut neh a buem uh aih. Te dongah ka pilnam tah a lungnah uh tangloeng dae a hmailong ah banim na saii uh ve.
