Jeremias 14
1 AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO JEREMIAS CONCERNING THE DROUGHT.
Khokhahaih kawng pongah Jeremiah khaeah Angraeng ih lok hae tiah angzoh.
2 Judea has mourned, and her gates are emptied, and are darkened upon the earth; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
Judah loe palungset moe, khongkhanawk doeh angpho o boeh; prae to qah o haih, Jerusalem qahhaih lok loe ranui bangah caeh tahang.
3 And her nobles have sent their little ones to the water: they came to the wells, and found no water: and brought back their vessels empty.
Angraengnawk mah a tamnanawk to tuidok hanah patoeh; nihcae loe tuikung ah caeh o, toe tui om ai; tuiduenawk doeh akok ah amlaem o haih let; lu to a khuk o moe, azathaih hoiah oh o sut.
4 And the labors of the land failed, because there was no rain: the husbandmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.
Prae thungah kho angzo ai boeh pongah, long to akah; lawkphrawk kaminawk doeh azathaih tong o pongah, lu to a khuk o.
5 And hinds calved in the field, and forsook [it], because there was no grass.
Ue, tasuk doeh taw ah acaa tapen, toe phroh om ai pongah, acaa to pahnawt sut boeh.
6 The wild asses stood by the forests, and snuffed up the wind; their eyes failed, because there was no grass.
Taw ih hrangnawk doeh hmuensangnawk ah angdoet o moe, tasuinawk baktiah takhi to hroek o; phroh caak han om ai pongah, mikmaeng o boeh.
7 Our sins have risen up against us: O Lord, do you for us for your own sake; for our sins are many before you; for we have sinned against you.
Aw Angraeng, hnuk amlaem kami ka pop o parai boeh; na koeh ai ih zaehaih to ka sak o moeng boeh pongah, ka zae o haih mah misa ah omsak cadoeh, na hmin hoiah na loisak ah.
8 O Lord, [you are] the hope of Israel, and deliver [us] in time of troubles; why are you become as a sojourner upon the land, or as one born in the land, yet turning aside for a resting-place?
Aw Israel kaminawk oephaih, raihaih tong naah pahlongkung, tipongah prae thungah angvin baktiah na oh o moe, qumto khue iih hanah kholong caeh angvin baktiah na oh loe?
9 Will you be as a man asleep, or as a [strong] man that can’t save? yet you are among us, O Lord, and your name is called upon us; forget us not.
Tipongah poek anghmang sut kami baktih, pahlong thai ai thacak kami baktiah na oh loe? Aw Angraeng, nang loe kaicae salakah na oh, kaicae loe na hmin hoi kawk ih kami ah ni ka oh o, na caeh taak hmah!
10 Thus says the Lord to this people, They have loved to wander, and they have not spared, therefore God has not prospered them; now will he remember their iniquity.
Angraeng mah hae kaminawk khaeah, Nihcae loe amhet han koeh o, khok to pakaa o ai, to pongah Angraeng mah nihcae to talawk ai; nihcae kasae sakhaih to vaihi poek ueloe, a sak o ih zaehaih baktih toengah lokcaek tih, tiah thuih.
11 And the Lord said to me, Pray not for this people for [their] good:
To pacoengah Angraeng mah kai khaeah, Hae kaminawk khosak hoih hanah lawkthui pae hmah.
12 for though they fast, I will not hear their supplication; and though they offer whole burnt offerings and sacrifices, I will take no pleasure in them: for I will consume them with sword, and with famine, and with pestilence.
Buhzah hoi lawkthui o cadoeh, nihcae hanghaih lok to ka tahngai pae mak ai; hmai angbawnhaih hoiah tangqum paek o naah doeh, ka talawk pae mak ai; nihcae to sumsen, khokhahaih hoi kasae nathaih hoiah kam rosak han, tiah a thuih.
13 And I said, O [ever] living Lord! behold, their prophets prophesy, and say, You shall not see a sword, nor shall famine be among you; for I will give truth and peace on the land, and in this place.
Toe kai mah, Ah, Angraeng Sithaw, khenah, tahmaanawk mah nihcae khaeah, sumsen hoi raihaih na tong o mak ai, khokhahaih doeh na tong o mak ai; boeng thai ai monghaih to hae ahmuen ah kang paek o han, tiah a thuih pae o bae, tiah ka naa.
14 Then the Lord said to me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, and I commanded them not, and I spoke not to them: for they prophesy to you false visions, and divinations, and auguries, and devices of their own heart.
To naah Angraeng mah kai khaeah, tahmaanawk loe kai ih ahmin hoiah amsawnlok to thuih o; kai mah nihcae to patoeh ai, lok ka paek ai, lok doeh ka thui pae ai; nihcae loe amsawn hnuksakhaih, taqawk ih ahmin hoiah tahmaahaih to sak o moe, atho om ai hmuen, angmacae poekhaih baktiah ni, alinghaih lok to ang thuih o.
15 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the prophets that prophesy lies in my name, and I sent them not, who say, Sword and famine shall not be upon this land; they shall die by a grievous death, and the prophets shall be consumed by famine.
To pongah Angraeng mah anih ih ahmin hoiah lokthui tahmaanawk kawng pongah hae tiah thuih; Kai mah nihcae to patoeh ai, toe nihcae mah prae thungah sumsen hoi khokhahaih pha mak ai, tiah thuih o; to tahmaanawk loe sumsen hoi khokhahaih hoiah dueh o tih.
16 And the people to whom they prophesy, they also shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, because of the sword and famine; and there shall be none to bury them: their wives also, and their sons, and their daughters [shall die thus]; and I will pour out their wickedness upon them.
Tahmaanawk mah lokthuih pae ih kaminawk loe sumsen hoi khokhahaih pongah, Jerusalem loklamnawk ah va o sut tih; nihcae ih qok, a zunawk, capanawk hoi canunawk ih qok to aphum hanah kami mi doeh om mak ai; a sak o ih zaehaih hoi katingah nihcae nuiah ka phaksak han.
17 And you shall speak this word to them; Let your eyes shed tears day and night, and let them not cease: for the daughter of my people has been sorely bruised, and her plague is very grievous.
Nihcae khaeah, Kai kaminawk ih canu kacuem tangla loe, kanung parai nganbawh kana to zok o moe, ahuhnawk doeh angkhaeh o boeh pongah, ka mikkhraetui hae khoving khodai, boeng ai ah long nasoe.
18 If I go forth into the plain, then behold the slain by the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold the distress of famine! for priest and prophet have gone to a land which they knew not.
Lawk ah ka caeh naah doeh, sumsen hoi hum ih kaminawk to ka hnuk; vangpui thungah ka kun naah doeh, khokha pongah nganna kaminawk to ka hnuk; ue, tahmaa hoi qaima loe panoek vai ai ih prae ah caeh hoi boeh, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
19 Hast you utterly rejected Juda? and has your soul departed from Sion? therefore has you struck us, and there is no healing for us? we waited for peace, but there was no prosperity; for a time of healing, and behold trouble!
Judah to na pahnawt ving boeh maw? Na hinghaih mah Zion to hnukma boeh maw? Kaicae ngatuihaih om ai maw, tipongah patang nang khangsak loe? Monghaih to ka zing o, toe kahoih hmuen roe om ai; ngantuihaih ka zing o naah, raihaih ka hnuk o lat!
20 We know, O Lord, our sins, [and] the iniquities of our fathers: for we have sinned before you.
Aw Angraeng, na nuiah ka zae o boeh moe, ka set o haih hoiah kam panawk ih zaehaih to ka panoek o boeh.
21 Refrain for your name's sake, destroy not the throne of your glory: remember, break not your covenant with us.
Na hmin pongah, kaicae hae hnuma hmah, na lensawkhaih to ahmin saesak hmah; kaicae hoi na sak ih lokmaihaih to pahnet hmah loe, phrae doeh phrae hmah.
22 Is there any one among the idols of the Gentiles that can give rain? and will the sky yield his fulness [at their bidding]? Are not you he? we will even wait on you, O Lord: for you have made all these things.
Gentel kaminawk mah bok o ih tidoeh avang ai krangnawk thungah kho angzosak thaih krang oh o maw? To tih ai boeh loe vannawk mah kho angzoh o sak thaih maw? Kho angzosak thaih loe, Aw Angraeng, kaicae ih Sithaw, Nang na ai maw? To pongah nang to kang zing o han; hae hmuennawk boih loe nangmah sak ih hmuen ah ni oh o.
