Jeremiah 6
1 O you children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the middle of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Bethhaccerem: for evil appears out of the north, and 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 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman.
Zion canu meikahawi kanaw e hah, ka raphoe han toe.
3 The shepherds with their flocks shall come to her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place.
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 you war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe to us! for the day goes away, 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 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 has the LORD of hosts said, Hew you down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the middle 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 fountain casts out her waters, so she casts out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief 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 you instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from you; lest I make you 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 says the LORD of hosts, They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back your hand as a grape gatherer into the baskets.
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 uncircumcised, and they cannot listen: behold, the word of the LORD is to 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: I will pour it out on the children abroad, and on 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 to others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand on the inhabitants of the land, says 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 to the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even to the priest every one deals 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 the daughter of my people slightly, 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 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? no, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, says 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 says the LORD, Stand you in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and you 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 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Listen to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not listen.
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, you nations, and know, O congregation, what is among 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 on this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not listened to my words, nor to my law, but 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 comes there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet to 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 says the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumbling blocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall on them; the neighbor and his friend 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 says the LORD, Behold, a people comes from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides 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 shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roars like the sea; and they ride on horses, set in array as men for war against you, 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 has 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 the sword of the enemy and fear is 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 you with sackcloth, and wallow yourself in ashes: make you mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come on 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 set you for a tower and a fortress among my people, that you may 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 rebels, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.
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 are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melts in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away.
Konlawk hai hmai dawk a kahma toe, hmaipho hai a tum toe. Tamikathoutnaw teh kangcing awh roeroe hoeh rah.
30 Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the LORD has rejected them.
Hotnaw teh BAWIPA ni a pahnawt toung dawkvah, ayânaw ni nguneinaw telah ati pouh awh han, telah ati.
