Jeremiah 3
1 They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but you have played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, says the LORD.
Tami buet touh ni a yu hah a ma teh, napui ni ahni hah a ceitakhai teh, ayâ alouke yu lah awm pawiteh, tongpa ni hote napui teh bout a la han na maw. Hote ram teh ka patawpoung lah khin sak hoeh na maw, telah ati awh. Hateiteh nang teh, na ngai e naw pueng koe tak na kâyo. Hatei kai koe bout na ban telah, BAWIPA ni ati.
2 Lift up your eyes unto the high places, and see where you have not been lien with. In the ways have you sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and you have polluted the land with your whoredoms and with your wickedness.
Hmuenrasang cailum hmuen koe loungouk nateh khenhaw! tongpa ni na ikhai hoeh nae hmuen ao maw. Ram tangkuem dawk Arabia taminaw patetlah, ahnimouh na ring laihoi, lam teng vah na tahung teh, na tak kâyonae hoi, na hawihoehnae lahoi, ram thung koung na khinsak toe.
3 Therefore the showers have been withheld, and there has been no latter rain; and you had a whore's forehead, you refused to be ashamed.
Hatdawkvah, khorak sak laipalah, hnukteng e kho hai rak hoeh toe, tak na kâyonae tampa hah na sin teh, kaya na panuek hoeh.
4 Will you not from this time cry unto me, My father, you are the guide of my youth?
Apa, ka nawca navah na kahrawikung lah na o, telah kai na kaw nahoehmaw.
5 Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, you have spoken and done evil things as you could.
Nang teh lung pou na khuek han maw. Apout totouh maw na lung pou khuek han, khenhaw! hot patetlah, lawk na dei teh, na tithai totouh, yonnae hah na sak.
6 The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there has played the harlot.
Hothloilah, Josiah siangpahrang se nah hai, BAWIPA ni kai koe hettelah a dei, hnuklah ban han ka ngai e Isarel ni a sak e hah, na hmu maw. Mon rasang pueng dawk a luen teh, thing rahim tangkuem vah tak a kâyo.
7 And I said after she had done all these things, Turn you unto me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
Hete hnonaw a sak hnukkhu hoi, kai koe bout a ban han doeh, telah ka ti. Hatei bout ban ngai hoeh, yuemkamcu hoeh e a nawngha Judah ni a hmu.
8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
Hatdawkvah, hnuklah a bannae ni Isarel ka uicuk sak naw hah ka hmu. Kama teh kâmanae ca hah ka poe. Hat nakunghai yuemkamcu hoeh e a nawngha Judah ni bout taket hoeh. Hatei ahni hai a cei teh, tak a kâyo van.
9 And it came to pass through the levity of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
Takkâyonae hoi ram hah a khin sak teh, thing hoi talung koe a uicuk.
10 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah has not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, says the LORD.
Hete hnonaw hloilah kamcu hoeh e a nawngha napui Judah teh lungthin katang hoi ban laipalah, ka kâsak e lah a ban, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
11 And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel has justified herself more than treacherous Judah.
BAWIPA ni kai koe hettelah a dei. Hnuklah ka ban e Isarel ni yuemkamcu hoeh e Judah hlak hai kalanhnawn la a kamnue.
12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, you backsliding Israel, says the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, says the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever.
Cet nateh, hete lawk he tung lah pâpho, hnuklah kamlang e Isarel ban leih telah BAWIPA ni ati. Lungkhueknae minhmai hoi na khen mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, lungmanae hoi ka kawi e lah ka o, telah BAWIPA ni ati, lungkhueknae hoi poe kaawm mahoeh.
13 Only acknowledge your iniquity, that you have transgressed against the LORD your God, and have scattered your ways to the strangers under every green tree, and all of you have not obeyed my voice, says the LORD.
BAWIPA na Cathut na tarannae hoi thingkung rahim e ram alouknaw koe, tak na kâyonae hoi, ka dei e lawk na yuem hoeh kecu dawkvah, na payonnae hah pâpho, telah BAWIPA ni ati.
14 Turn, O backsliding children, says the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:
Oe, hnuklah kamlang e catounnaw ban awh, telah BAWIPA ni ati. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmanaw kountoukkung lah ka o. Khopui dawk hoi tami buet touh, imthung dawk hoi tami kahni touh na la awh vaiteh, Zion vah na hrawi awh han.
15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
Panuenae hoi, thoumthai lungangnae hoi, nangmouh kountoukkung, kaie lungthin ka tawn e, tukhoumkung hah na poe awh han.
16 And it shall come to pass, when all of you be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, says the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more.
Hahoi hettelah ao han. Hatnae tueng dawk ram thung vah, moikapap na kamphung torei teh, ahnimouh ni ‘BAWIPA lawkkam thingkong telah tet awh mahoeh toe, a pouknae naw dawk hai pâkuem awh mahoeh toe. Cet hai na cet sin awh mahoeh, sak hai na sak awh mahoeh toe, telah BAWIPA ni ati.
17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.
Hatnae tueng dawk Jerusalem teh, BAWIPA bawitungkhung telah ti han. Hawvah miphunnaw pueng hah BAWIPA e min lahoi Jerusalem vah a kamkhueng awh han. Kahawihoeh e pouknae kâpoenae hah tarawi awh mahoeh toe.
18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.
Hatnae hnin dawk Judah imthung hah Isarel imthung hoi rei awm awh vaiteh, na mintoenaw koe râw hanelah ka poe e, ram dawk tung lae ram hoi cungtalah tâco awh han.
19 But I said, How shall I put you among the children, and give you a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, You shall call me, My father; and shall not turn away from me.
Hateiteh, kai ni bangtelamaw miphunnaw râw kahawie kanawmpoung e ram hah ka poe teh, catounnaw koe vah, na hruek thai awh, telah ka ti. Apa telah na kaw vaiteh, na kangheng takhai mahoeh toe, telah ka ti.
20 Surely as a wife treacherously departs from her husband, so have all of you dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, says the LORD.
Yu buet touh ni yuemkamcu hoeh lahoi a vâ a ceitakhai e patetlah, oe Isarel imthungkhunaw yuemkamcu hoeh lahoi na dum katang awh, telah BAWIPA ni ati.
21 A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God.
Isarel catounnaw kâheinae hoi na khuinae lawk hah, karasange cailum hmuen dawk hoi ka thai toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, amamae lamthung hah kamlang takhai teh, BAWIPA Cathut hah a pahnim awh.
22 Return, all of you backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto you; for you are the LORD our God.
Oe, hnuklah kamlang e canaw bout ban awh haw, hnuklah na kamlangnae hah na dam sak han. Hatei nang koe ka tho. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang nama teh kaimae BAWIPA Cathut la na o.
23 Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel.
Mon dawk hoi rungngangnae hmu hane ngaihawinae teh, bang cungkeinae awm hoeh. Monnaw puenghai cungkeinae awm katang hoeh. Isarel rungngangnae teh, BAWIPA Cathut koe dueng doeh ao.
24 For shame has devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka nawca hoi ka mintoenaw ni a tawk e a tuhunaw hoi, saringnaw, a canu a capanaw totouh, kayanae ni be a ca awh.
25 We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covers us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.
Kayanae dawk ka i awh teh, yeiraiponae ni, na ramuk awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA Cathut taranlahoi ka yon awh teh, kamamouh hoi mintoenaw ni ka nawca hoi sahnin totouh, BAWIPA Cathut e lawk hah ka tarawi awh hoeh.
