Jeremiah 8
1 At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;
Hatnae tueng nah BAWIPA ni telah a dei, Judah siangpahrang hrunaw, vaihma hrunaw, profet hrunaw, Jerusalem tanminaw e hrunaw hah amamae phuen koehoi a thaw awh han.
2 and they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped; they shall not be gathered, nor be buried, they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
Ahnimanaw ni lungpataw teh thaw tawk pouh awh, a hnukkâbang pouh awh, a pacei awh teh a bawk awh e kanî hoi thapa hoi kalvan e âsinaw pueng hmalah a dan awh han.
3 And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.
Kai ni ka pâlei e hmuen pueng koevah, hete tamikathout miphunnaw ni hringnae hlak duenae arawihnawn awh telah ransahu BAWIPA ni ati.
4 Moreover thou shalt say unto them: Thus saith the LORD: Do men fall, and not rise up again? Doth one turn away, and not return?
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei tie hah ahnimouh koe dei pouh, taminaw tâlaw awh navah bout thaw awh hoeh maw, lam a payon awh navah bout ban awh mahoeh maw.
5 Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? They hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
Telah pawiteh, bangkongmaw hete taminaw ni hnuklah a kamlang awh, Bangkongmaw Jerusalem kho taminaw ni hnuklah meng a kamlang awh. Dumnae dawk a lungpen awh teh ban han ngai awh hoeh.
6 I attended and listened, but they spoke not aright; no man repenteth him of his wickedness, saying: 'What have I done?' Every one turneth away in his course, as a horse that rusheth headlong in the battle.
A lawk khei ka thai nah, ahnimouh ni lawkkatang hah dei awh hoeh. A thoenae koehoi buet touh ni hai pankângai e awm hoeh. Kai bangmaw ka sak, ati awh. Tarantuk koe marang ka yawng e patetlah tami pueng ni lam a phen awh teh, amamae lamthung dawk koung a yawng awh toe.
7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but My people know not the ordinance of the LORD.
Lathueng kamleng tavanaw ni patenghai a tue hah a panue awh teh, batuiling, bakhunaw, pingpitnaw, hoi tuicawmpainaw ni hai tho nahane a tue teh a panue awh. Hatei, ka taminaw ni teh BAWIPA e a kawnae hah panuek awh hoeh.
8 How do ye say: 'We are wise, and the Law of the LORD is with us'? Lo, certainly in vain hath wrought the vain pen of the scribes.
Bangtelamaw, kaimouh teh ka lungang awh, BAWIPA e kâlawk kaimouh koe ao na ti thai awh vaw. cakathutkungnaw e cacung ni laithoe a tawm sak awh toe hei.
9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken; Lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
A lungkaangnaw yeirai a phu awh han. Puen awh vaiteh, man lah ao han. BAWIPA e lawk a pahnawt awh toe, bangpatet lungangnae maw a tawn awh.
10 Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall possess them; for from the least even unto the greatest every one is greedy for gain, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
Hatdawkvah, a yunaw hah tami alouknaw koe ka poe han. A lawnaw hai ayânaw koe ka poe han. Kathoengca koehoi kalenpoung totouh kahounlounnaw lah ao awh. Profetnaw hoi vaihmanaw hai laithoe koung a dei awh.
11 And they have healed the hurt of the daughter of My people lightly, saying: 'Peace, peace', when there is no peace.
Ka taminaw, ka canunaw e hmâ hah phouhoucalah a khet awh. Lungmawngnae kaawm hoeh e hah, lungmawngnae lungmawngnae atipouh awh.
12 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 shall they fall among them that fall, in the time of their visitation they shall stumble, saith the LORD.
Panuet ka tho e nuencangnaw dawk a kaya awh maw, kayak awh hoeh. Kayanae roeroe tawn awh hoeh. A minhmai patenghai paling awh hoeh. Hatdawkvah, ka rawm e taminaw koe a rawp awh van vaiteh, rek lah ao awh nah a rahim lah a bo awh van han telah BAWIPA ni ati.
13 I will utterly consume them, saith the LORD; there are no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig-tree, and the leaf is faded; and I gave them that which they transgress.
A paw a khi awh e naw pueng ka la pouh han. BAWIPA ni ati. Misurkung dawkvah, misur paw awm mahoeh. Thaibunglung kung dawk a paw awm mahoeh, a hnanaw koung kamyai han. Kai ni ahnimanaw koe ka poe e hah bout ka la pouh han.
14 'Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be cut off there; for the LORD our God hath cut us off, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
Bangkongmaw sut na tahung awh. Cungtalah kâracut awh vaiteh, rapan ka tawn e khopui dawk kâen awh sei. Haw vah cungtalah dout awh sei. Bangdawk tetpawiteh, maimouh ni BAWIPA koe yon awh toung dawkvah, BAWIPA maimae Cathut ni duenae sue na pânei awh teh, kahmakatanae koe na ta awh toe.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold terror!'
Lungmawngnae ngaihawi awh ei, ahawinae tho hoeh toe, tak damnae ngaihawi awh ei, runae seng doeh kaawm toe.
16 The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan; at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembleth; for they are come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it, the city and those that dwell therein.
Tarannaw e marangnaw kâha lawk teh, Dan hoi a thai awh toe. Marangtannaw e a cai lawk ni ram thung pueng pâyaw sak awh toe. Ram hoi a thung e kaawm hnopueng hoi khopui hoi khopui thung kaawm taminaw pueng pâyaw hanlah a tho awh toe.
17 For, behold, I will send serpents, basilisks, among you, which will not be charmed; and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.
Khenhaw! nangmouh koe, hrunthok, hrunthoe ka tha vaiteh, bangtelah hai ti thai lah kaawm hoeh e ni nangmouh teh koung na khue awh han, telah BAWIPA ni ati.
18 Though I would take comfort against sorrow, my heart is faint within me.
Oe ka lungmathoenae heh api nang ne karoum sak han. Ka thung vah ka lung sut a pout.
19 Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land far off: 'Is not the LORD in Zion? Is not her King in her?' — 'Why have they provoked Me with their graven images, and with strange vanities?' —
Ram hlanae koe kaawm ka canu ka taminaw e a khuika lawk hah thai haw. Zion vah BAWIPA awm hoeh maw. Siangpahrang hai haw vah awm hoeh toung maw. Bangkong hetnaw ni sakhlawn e meikaphawknaw hoi miphunnaw e meikaphawknaw ni bangkongmaw ka lungkhuek sak awh.
20 'The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.'
Canga tue a loum toe, kompawi tue a khup toe, maimouh teh rungngang lah awm awh hoeh rah.
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I seized with anguish; I am black, appalment hath taken hold on me.
Ka taminaw hoi ka canaw, patawnae hah ka hmawngkhai. Ka lungmathoe teh kângairunae ni khik na katek.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
Gilead vah hluk hane thingtapi awm hoeh maw. Haw vah tâsibawi awm hoeh maw. Bangkong ka taminaw ka canaw e a hmâ ahawi thai hoeh.
