Jeremiah 6
1 Put yourselves under covert, ye children of Benjamin, away from the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the horn in Tekoa, and set up a signal on Beth-cherem; for evil looketh forth from the north, and a great destruction.
Benjamin canaw na hlout nahanelah Jerusalem khothung hoi yawng awh leih. Tekoa vah mongka ueng awh, Bethhakkerem vah thaisaknae hmai hah paang awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, rucatnae kalen poung rawknae teh atunglah hoi a tho toe.
2 The comely and delicate one, the daughter of Zion, will I cut off.
Zion canu meikahawi kanaw e hah, ka raphoe han toe.
3 Shepherds with their flocks come unto her; they pitch their tents against her round about; they feed bare every one what is nigh at hand.
Tukhoumnaw ni a tuhunaw hoi ahni koe pha awh han, petkâkalup lah lukkareirimnaw a sak awh vaiteh, amamae tuhunaw rip a khoum awh han.
4 'Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon!' 'Woe unto us! for the day declineth, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out!'
Ahnimanaw tuk hanlah kârakueng awh leih, thaw awh leih, kanîthun vah tuk awh sei, maimouh han a ru poung bangkongtetpawiteh, kanîthun a hloi teh tangmin kho a hmo toe.
5 'Arise, and let us go up by night, and let us destroy her palaces.'
Thaw awh leih, karum vah tuk awh sei, a im kahawi kahawi naw hah raphoe awh sei.
6 For thus hath the LORD of hosts said: hew ye down her trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem; this is the city to be punished; everywhere there is oppression in the midst of her.
Rasahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, thingnaw tâtueng awh nateh, Jerusalem bout tuk nahanelah, luennae hah sak awh. Hote khopui heh rek hanelah ao. Hatei khopui thung vah kâyue kâounnae seng doeh akawi toe.
7 As a cistern welleth with her waters, so she welleth with her wickedness; violence and spoil is heard in her; before Me continually is sickness and wounds.
Tuikhu ni tui a tâco sak e patetlah ahnimouh ni kathoute a tâcokhai van. Athung vah kâounnae hoi rawknae niyah akawi, ka hmalah lungmathoenae hoi patawnae pout laipalah ao.
8 Be thou corrected, O Jerusalem, lest My soul be alienated from thee, lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.
Oe Jerusalem kâhruetcuet, telah nahoeh pawiteh, ka hringnae ni hnamthun takhai vaiteh, athung vah kingdi ram lah ka coung sak han.
9 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: They shall thoroughly glean as a vine the remnant of Israel; turn again thy hand as a grape-gatherer upon the shoots.
Rasahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, misur paw kacawirae khi e patetlah ahnimouh ni Isarelnaw kacawirae hah abuemlah he a khi awh han. Misur paw kakhikung ni a khi e patetlah na kut hah tangthung dawk bout tapu ei.
10 To whom shall I speak and give warning, that they may hear? Behold, their ear is dull, and they cannot attend; behold, the word of the LORD is become unto them a reproach, they have no delight in it.
Api koe maw lawk ka dei pouh vaiteh, kâhruetcuetnae ka poe han. A hnânaw a tabuem awh dawkvah, thai thai awh hoeh. BAWIPA e lawk hah ahnimouh hane dudam e lah ao teh, thaingainae roeroe tawn awh hoeh.
11 Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD, I am weary with holding in: pour it out upon the babes in the street, and upon the assembly of young men together; for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA e lungkhueknae hoi ka kawi teh ka khang thai hoeh toe. Lam dawk kaawm e camonaw hoi a kamkhueng e nawsainaw koe ka kamnue sak, yuvâ roi ni hot teh a khang han, matawng kum kacuenaw ni hai a khang awh han.
12 And their houses shall be turned unto others, their fields and their wives together; for I will stretch out My hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD.
A imlawnaw hoi a yunaw hai ayânaw koe koung ka poe han, ram thung vah kaawmnaw lathueng kai ni kut ka tha han toe, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
13 For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is greedy for gain; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
Kathoengca koehoi kalenpoung koe totouh, tami pueng ni a hounloun awh, profetnaw hoi vaihmanaw hai la awh hoeh, laithoe dei hoi a kâroe awh.
14 They have healed also the hurt of My people lightly, saying: 'Peace, peace', when there is no peace.
Ka taminaw e a hmâ lah ahawi han doeh, ahawi han doeh ati awh teh, phouhoucalah a khet awh, hawi katang hoeh.
15 They shall be put to shame because they have committed abomination; yea, they are not at all ashamed, neither know they how to blush; therefore they shall fall among them that fall, at the time that I punish them they shall stumble, saith the LORD.
Panuet ka tho e hno a sak awh navah a kaya awh maw. Kayak awh hoeh. Kayak roeroe awh hoeh. Minhmai kangna hai paling awh hoeh. Hatdawkvah, karawmnaw koe rawp awh van han, kai ni ahnimanaw ka rek toteh, ahnimanaw teh rahim lah a bo awh han telah BAWIPA ni ati.
16 Thus saith the LORD: Stand ye in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said: 'We will not walk therein.'
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, lam dawk kangdout nateh, khenhaw! ayan e lamruem hah pacei nateh, lam kahawi namaw ao telah pacei awh nateh, hote lam dawk dawn awh, telah pawiteh na muitha hanlah kâhatnae na hmu awh han. Hatei, nangmouh ni hote lam dawk ka cet awh mahoeh na ti awh.
17 And I set watchmen over you: 'Attend to the sound of the horn', but they said: 'We will not attend.'
Kai ni nangmouh hanelah karingkung tami ka hmoun, mongka lawk thai awh! na ti pouh awh. Hatei, nangmouh ni, ka thai awh mahoeh na ti awh.
18 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is against them.
Hatdawkvah, miphunnaw thai awh haw, taminaw voi, ahnimanaw e lathueng ka phat hane hah pâkuem van awh.
19 Hear, O earth: Behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not attended unto My words, and as for My teaching, they have rejected it.
Oe talai, thai haw! hete taminaw lathueng vah, ronae ka pha sak han toe, amamouh ni a pouknae a paw letlang ni bangkongmaw kaie lawk hoi kâlawk a pahnawt awh.
20 To what purpose is to Me the frankincense that cometh from Sheba, and the sweet cane, from a far country? Your burnt-offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices pleasing unto Me.
Sheba e hmuitui hoi kho hlanae koehoi e kacingtui ka radip e kai ni bangmaw ka ti nahan. Nangmae hmaisawi thuengnae ka dâw mahoeh, sathei thuengnae ni ka lunghawi sak mahoeh.
21 Therefore thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall stumble against them, the neighbour and his friend, and they shall perish.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, hete taminaw hmalah tâlaw nahan ka ta pouh han. A napanaw hoi a canaw ni a tâlaw awh han, imri hoi huikonaw rei a rawk awh han, ati.
22 Thus saith the LORD: Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be roused from the uttermost parts of the earth.
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, khenhaw! atunglae ram koehoi ransanaw a tho toe, talai poutnae koehoi miphun kalenpoung kamthaw toe.
23 They lay hold on bow and spear, they are cruel, and have no compassion; their voice is like the roaring sea, and they ride upon horses; set in array, as a man for war, against thee, O daughter of Zion.
Pala hoi tahroe patuep awh teh, tamikathout, pahrennae roeroe ka tawn hoeh naw lah ao. A pawlawk teh tuipui pawlawk patetlah ao teh, marang dawk a kâcui awh teh, tamipueng senehmaica a kâmahrawk awh teh, Oe! Zion canu, nang tuk hanlah a tho awh toe, ati.
24 'We have heard the fame thereof, our hands wax feeble, anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail.'
Ahnimae kamthang ka thai awh navah, ka kut tha pouk a bo. Runae teh manu ni ca khe patawnae a khang e patetlah khik na moum toe.
25 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for there is the sword of the enemy, and terror on every side.
Kahrawng tâcawt awh hanh, lam dawk hai cet awh hanh awh, tarannaw koe tahloi ao, avoivang taki a tho.
26 O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes; make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.
Oe! Ka tami canunaw voi, buri kâkhu awh nateh, vaiphu dawk kamawp awh nateh, capa buet touh dueng kadout e ka khai e patetlah kap awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, vaitalahoi karaphoekung teh maimae lathueng a pha han toe.
27 I have made thee a tower and a fortress among My people; that thou mayest know and try their way.
Ka taminaw katanoukkung hoi pakhingpalang hanelah na sak, telah pawiteh doeh ahnimae nuencang hah na pathoup thai awh tih.
28 They are all grievous revolters, going about with slanders; they are brass and iron; they all of them deal corruptly.
Ahnimouh teh a lungpata awh ni teh tarankathaw e, tamthoe kadeinaw doeh, rahum hoi sum patetlah ao awh teh, abuemlahoi kahawihoehe dueng katâcawtkhaikung lah ao awh.
29 The bellows blow fiercely, the lead is consumed of the fire; in vain doth the founder refine, for the wicked are not separated.
Konlawk hai hmai dawk a kahma toe, hmaipho hai a tum toe. Tamikathoutnaw teh kangcing awh roeroe hoeh rah.
30 Refuse silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.
Hotnaw teh BAWIPA ni a pahnawt toung dawkvah, ayânaw ni nguneinaw telah ati pouh awh han, telah ati.
