Jeremiah 22
1 Thus said the LORD: Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,
He ni BOEIPA loh a thui. Judah manghai im ah cet lamtah he ol he pahoi thui pah.
2 and say: Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter in by these gates.
Te vaengah, “David ngolkhoel ah aka ngol Judah manghai nang neh, na sal rhoek, he vongka longah aka pawk na pilnam loh BOEIPA ol hnatun uh,’ ti nah.
3 Thus saith the LORD: Execute ye justice and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor; and do no wrong, do no violence, to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Tiktamnah neh duengnah te saii lamtah haemtaekkung kut lamkah a rheth rhoek te huul laeh. Yinlai cadah neh nuhmai te vuelvaek boel lamtah huet boeh. He hmuen ah ommongsitoe thii te long sak boeh.
4 For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.
He kah ol he na vai rhoe na vai van daengah ni David kah a ngolkhoel dongah aka ngol manghai rhoek khaw, leng dong neh a marhang dongah aka ngol a sal khaw, a sal rhoek neh a pilnam khaw he im vongka lamloh a pongpa eh.
5 But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by Myself, saith the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.
Tedae he ol he na ngai pawt atah kamah loh BOEIPA kah olphong neh ka toemngam coeng dongah he im he imrhong la poeh ni.
6 For thus saith the LORD concerning the house of the king of Judah: Thou art Gilead unto Me, the head of Lebanon; yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, cities which are not inhabited.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Gilead kah Judah manghai im te a thui. Nang tah kai taengah Lebanon som bangla na om cakhaw nang te khopuei khosoek la ka khueh pawt vetih khosa rhoek loh khosa uh mahpawt nim?
7 And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons; and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.
Nang te hlang kutyook la kang hoep vetih a hnopai neh na lamphai thinghloe te a vung phoeiah hmai khuila a voeih ni.
8 And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbour: 'Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this great city?'
He khopuei te namtom loh muep a poeng vaengah hlang loh a hui taengah, “Balae tih BOEIPA loh he khopuei tanglue taengah he he a saii?” a ti uh ni.
9 Then they shall answer: 'Because they forsook the covenant of the LORD their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them.'
Te vaengah, “A Pathen BOEIPA kah paipi te a hnoo uh tih pathen tloe te a bawk uh, amih taengla tho a thueng uh dongah,” a ti uh ni.
10 Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him; but weep sore for him that goeth away, for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
Aka duek ham te rhap uh boel lamtah anih te suem uh boeh. Aka cet ham te rhap lammah rhap uh. Koep ha mael hae pawt vetih a pacaboeina kah khohmuen te hmu voel mahpawh.
11 For thus saith the LORD touching Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and who went forth out of this place: He shall not return thither any more;
He tah a napa Josiah yueng la aka manghai, Judah manghai Josiah capa Shallum kawng ni BOEIPA loh a thui. Anih tah he hmuen lamloh nong coeng tih he la koep ha pawk voel mahpawh.
12 but in the place whither they have led him captive, there shall he die, and he shall see this land no more.
Tedae te hmuen ah anih te a poelyoe uh vetih pahoi duek ni. Te vaengah he khohmuen he hmu voel mahpawh.
13 Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by injustice; that useth his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not his hire;
Anunae a im aka thoh khaw duengnah nen moenih. Te dongah a imhman khaw tiktamnah neh om pawh. A hui te a hoeihae la thotat tih anih te a bisai pang pae pawh.
14 That saith: 'I will build me a wide house and spacious chambers', and cutteth him out windows, and it is ceiled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
Kamah ham im len ka thoh eh aka ti tih imhman aka hoengpoek sak loh amah ham tah bangbuet te a buet phoeiah lamphai neh a ci tih pangcik neh a koelh.
15 Shalt thou reign, because thou strivest to excel in cedar? Did not thy father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him.
Nang na manghai dongah nim na pa kah lamphai dongah a lungoe. A caak tih a ok moenih a? Duengnah neh tiktamnah a saii dongah maco anih ham a then tangloeng te.
16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Is not this to know Me? saith the LORD.
Mangdaeng neh khodaeng kah dumlai dongah a laitloek then tangloeng. Te khaw kamah kah mingnah moenih a?
17 But thine eyes and thy heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for shedding innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it.
Na mik neh na lungbuei om pawt tih ommongsitoe thii long sak ham dongah, hnaemtaeknah dongah, phaepnah saii ham bueng ni na mueluemnah te.
18 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: They shall not lament for him: 'Ah my brother!' or: 'Ah sister!' They shall not lament for him: 'Ah lord!' or: 'Ah his glory!'
Te dongah BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Judah manghai Josiah capa Jehoiakim kawng dongah anih te rhaengsae uh mahpawh. Anunae ka manuca neh anunae ka ngannu aih anih te rhaengsae uh mahpawh. Anunae boeipa neh anunae a mueithennah aih.
19 He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
Jerusalem vongka kah a voel la voeih ham a sol vetih laak kah phuel ah a up ni.
20 Go up to Lebanon, and cry, and lift up thy voice in Bashan; and cry from Abarim, for all thy lovers are destroyed.
Lebanon la cet lamtah pang lah. Bashan ah na ol huel lamtah Abarim lamloh pang laeh. Na lungnah boeih khaw khaem uh coeng.
21 I spoke unto thee in thy prosperity, but thou saidst: 'I will not hear.' This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou hearkenedst not to My voice.
Na ommongnah khuiah nang te kan thui coeng dae, “Ka hnatun mahpawh,” na ti. Ka ol na hnatun pawt khaw na camoe lamkah na longpuei rhoe ni he.
22 The wind shall feed upon all thy shepherds, and thy lovers shall go into captivity; surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.
Nang aka dawn boeih khaw khohli loh a luem puei vetih nang aka lungnah te tamna la cet uh ni. Te vaengah na yak uh vetih na boethae cungkuem dongah na hmaithae uh ni.
23 O inhabitant of Lebanon, that art nestled in the cedars, how gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, the pain as of a woman in travail!
Lebanon kah khosa rhoek, lamphai dongah butuk rhoek, tharhui bungtloh ca om bangla nang soah ha pawk vaengah metlam nim na huei ve.
24 As I live, saith the LORD, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon My right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence;
Kai hingnah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Judah manghai Jehoiakim capa Koniah pataeng ka bantang kut dongkah kutbuen la om ngawn cakhaw te lamloh te nang kan dul coeng.
25 and I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them of whom thou art afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Na hinglu aka toem kut neh nang loh na rhih kut dongah nang te kan tloeng ni. Amih mikhmuh ah Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar kut neh Khalden kut ah kan tloeng ni.
26 And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bore thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die.
Namah neh nang aka cun na nu te khaw kho tloe la kang hut vetih na thaang pawt nah ah te pahoi na duek ni.
27 But to the land whereunto they long to return, thither shall they not return.
Te khohmuen la a hinglu aka khuen rhoek tah mael ham akhaw na mael uh voel mahpawh.
28 Is this man Coniah a despised, broken image? Is he a vessel wherein is no pleasure? Wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into the land which they know not?
Koniah hlang phop kah a hnaep he patangnah ni nama? Anih ham hnopai khaw a ngaih moenih. Balae tih amah neh a tiingan rhoek khaw a hut vetih ming pawt kho la a voeih eh?
29 O land, land, land, hear the word of the LORD.
Khohmuen, Khohmuen, khohmuen oeh! BOEIPA ol he hnatun laeh.
30 Thus saith the LORD: Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days; for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. He kah hlang he cakol hlang la daek laeh. Amah tue vaengah thaihtak pawt vetih a tiingan lamkah khaw thaihtak mahpawh. David ngolkhoel dongah aka ngol hlang neh Judah khuiah koep aka taemrhai khaw om mahpawh.
