Jeremiah 7
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying:
BOEIPA taeng lamkah ol te Jeremiah taengla pawk tih,
2 Stand in the gate of the LORD'S house, and proclaim there this word, and say: Hear the word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD.
'BOEIPA im kah vongka ah pai lamtah he ol he pahoi doek laeh. Te vaengah BOEIPA taengah thothueng ham he kah vongka la aka pawk Judah pum te, 'BOEIPA ol he ya uh,’ ti nah,” a ti.
3 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh, “Na longpuei neh na khoboe tlaih uh laeh. Te daengah ni hekah hmuen ah nangmih te om sak eh.
4 Trust ye not in lying words, saying: 'The temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, are these.'
Nangmih loh a hong ol dongah pangtung uh boeh. BOEIPA kah bawkim, BOEIPA kah bawkim, BOEIPA kah bawkim,” a ti uh.
5 Nay, but if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbour;
Na longpuei neh na khoboe te na tlaih la na tlaih atah, hlang laklo neh a hui laklo ah tiktamnah na saii la, na saii uh atah,
6 if ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt;
Yinlai, cadah neh nuhmai hnaemtaek uh boel lamtah he hmuen ah ommongsitoe thii kingling uh boeh, nangmih aka thae sak pathen tloe rhoek hnukah na pongpa pawt atah,
7 then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.
Na pa rhoek taengah khosuen lamloh kumhal duela ka paek khohmuen kah he hmuen ah nangmih kang om sak ni.
8 Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
Nangmih tah namamih ham aka hoeikhang pawh a hong ol dongah ni na pangtung uh te.
9 Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and offer unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye have not known,
Huen ham, ngawn ham neh samphaih ham nim a honghi neh na toemngam uh? Baal taengah na phum uh tih ming pawt pathen tloe rhoek hnukah na pongpa uh.
10 and come and stand before Me in this house, whereupon My name is called, and say: 'We are delivered', that ye may do all these abominations?
Kai ming la a khue he im khuikah ka mikhmuh la na pawk uh tih na pai uh vaengah, “He rhoek kah tueilaehkoi he boeih n'saii uh akhaw n'huul uh,” na ti uh.
11 Is this house, whereupon My name is called, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, saith the LORD.
Ka ming aka phuei im he nangmih mik ah dingca kah lungko la poeh coeng a? Tedae kai loh kam hmuh coeng he,” a ti. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
12 For go ye now unto My place which was in Shiloh, where I caused My name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of My people Israel.
Te dongah Shiloh kah ka hmuen te paan uh laeh. Te ah tah ka ming om lamhma coeng dae ka pilnam Israel kah boethae kongah anih soah ka saii te hmuh uh lah.
13 And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spoke unto you, speaking betimes and often, but ye heard not, and I called you, but ye answered not;
Te bibi te boeih na saii coeng dongah BOEIPA kah olphong bangla nang taengah kan thui. Na thoh hang vaengah ka thui dae na yaak moenih. Nangmih te kang khue dae nan doo uh moenih.
14 therefore will I do unto the house, whereupon My name is called, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
Ka ming la a khue tih nangmih a khuiah na pangtung thil im te ka saii pueng ni. Nangmih taeng neh na pa rhoek taengah kam paek tangtae hmuen pataeng Shiloh taengkah bangla ka saii coeng.
15 And I will cast you out of My sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.
Na manuca rhoek boeih neh Ephraim tiingan boeih khaw ka voeih bangla ka mikhmuh lamloh nangmih te kam voeih ni.
16 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to Me; for I will not hear thee.
Te dongah nang tah he pilnam yueng thangthui boeh, amih ham tamlung neh thangthuinah khaw ludoeng pah boeh. Kai he nan doo pawt dongah nang ol aka ya la kai ka om moenih.
17 Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Judah loh khopuei neh Jerusalem tollong ah amih loh mebang a saii khaw na hmuh moenih a?
18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke Me.
Ca rhoek loh thing a coi uh tih a napa rhoek loh hmai a toih uh. Manu rhoek loh vaan boeinu kah rhaibuh la saii pah ham vaidamtlam a nook uh. Kai aka veet hamla pathen tloe rhoek taengah tuisi a bueih.
19 Do they provoke Me? saith the LORD; do they not provoke themselves, to the confusion of their own faces?
Amih nim kai aka veet rhoek te. BOEIPA kah olphong ni he. A maelhmai ah yahpohnah aka om ham amih moenih a?
20 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, Mine anger and My fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the land; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.
Te dongah ka Boeipa Yahovah loh he ni a. thui. Ka thintoek neh ka kosi tah he hmuen sokah hlang so neh rhamsa soah, khohmuen thingkung so neh diklai thaihtae soah bo coeng. Te long te a dom vetih thi mahpawh.
21 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Add your burnt-offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat ye flesh.
Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh, “Na hmueihhlutnah neh na hmueih te koei lamtah a saa te ca nawn.
22 For I spoke not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt-offerings or sacrifices;
Na pa rhoek te Egypt kho lamloh a khuen la ka khuen khohnin vaengah hmueihhlutnah neh hmueih kawng dongah amih te ol ka uen moenih.
23 but this thing I commanded them, saying: 'Hearken unto My voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be My people; and walk ye in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.'
Tedae amih te hekah ol he lat ka uen tih, “Ka ol he hnatun uh lamtah nangmih kah Pathen la ka om bitni. Nangmih khaw ka pilnam la om uh. Nangmih kang uen longpuei ah boeih pongpa uh lamtah nangmih taengah voelphoeng van saeh,” ka ti.
24 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in their own counsels, even in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward and not forward,
Tedae hnatun uh pawt tih a hna te kaeng uh pawh. A lungbuei boethae kah thinthahnah dongah cilkhih te a paan uh tih a hnuk a hmai pawt ah khaw om uh.
25 even since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day; and though I have sent unto you all My servants the prophets, sending them daily betimes and often,
Egypt kho lamkah na pa rhoek aka pawk uh hnin lamloh tihnin duela nangmih taengah ka sal rhoek boeih kan tueih. Tonghma rhoek te hnin takhuem a thoh hang neh kan tueih coeng.
26 yet they hearkened not unto Me, nor inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff; they did worse than their fathers.
Tedae kai ol te ya uh pawt tih a hna te kaeng uh pawh. A rhawn a mangkhak sak uh tih a napa rhoek lakah thae uh ngai.
27 And thou shalt speak all these words unto them, but they will not hearken to thee; thou shalt also call unto them, but they will not answer thee.
He kah ol he amih taengah boeih na thui dae nang ol te a yaak uh moenih. Amih te na khue akhaw nang te n'doo uh moenih.
28 Therefore thou shalt say unto them: This is the nation that hath not hearkened to the voice of the LORD their God, nor received correction; faithfulness is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
Te dongah amih taengah “Namtom long he a Pathen BOEIPA ol te hnatun uh pawt tih thuituennah khaw doe uh pawh. Amih kah ka lamkah tah uepomnah khaw moelh tih talh coeng,” ti nah.
29 Cut off thy hair, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on the high hills; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath.
Na rhuisam bawt lamtah voei laeh. Caphoei cuk ah rhahlung khuen laeh. BOEIPA loh a hnawt tih a thinpom kah cadilcahma khaw a phap coeng lah ko.
30 For the children of Judah have done that which is evil in My sight, saith the LORD; they have set their detestable things in the house whereon My name is called, to defile it.
Judah ca rhoek loh ka mikhmuh ah boethae ni a. saii uh. BOEIPA kah olphong ni he. Im ah a sarhingkoi te a khueh uh tih ming aka poeih rhung la ka ming a phoei.
31 And they have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded not, neither came it into My mind.
Topheth hmuensang te a khoeng uh tih kolrhawk kah hmai dongah a canu, a capa rhoek te a hoeh uh. Te te ka uen pawt tih ka lungbuei ah khaw a kun moenih.
32 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter; for they shall bury in Topheth, for lack of room.
Te dongah BOEIPA kah olphong ha phawk tarha nah hnin ah tah Topheth neh kolrhawk te koep phoei voel mahpawh. Tedae ngawnnah kolrhawk lakah Topheth ah ni hmuen a om pawt hil a up uh eh.
33 And the carcasses of this people shall be food for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall frighten them away.
Te vaengah pilnam kah a rhok he vaan kah vaa neh diklai rhamsa ham maeh la a om pah vetih aka hawt khaw om mahpawh.
34 Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land shall be desolate.
Judah khopuei rhoek khui neh Jerusalem tollong kah omngaihnah ol neh kohoenah ol khaw, yulo kah ol neh vasa ol khaw ka duem sak ni. Diklai te imrhong la om ni.
