< Jeremiah 10 >

1 Hear the word, O house of Israel, That YHWH has spoken for you.
Oe Isarel imthungkhunaw, BAWIPA ni nang koe a dei e thai haw.
2 Thus said YHWH: “Do not accustom yourselves to the way of the nations, And do not be frightened by the signs of the heavens, For the nations are frightened by them.
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, Jentelnaw e nuencang out hanh awh, kalvan hoi mitnoutnae kaawm nakunghai taket awh hanh. Jentelnaw teh hot patet lae hah a taki awh.
3 For the statutes of the peoples are vanity, For one has cut a tree from a forest, Work of the hands of a craftsman, with an axe,
Taminaw e a phunglam teh ayawmyin doeh, tami buet touh ni ratu thing a tâtueng teh, kutsakkathoum ni a sak teh,
4 They beautify it with silver and with gold, They fix it with nails and with hammers, And it does not stumble.
sui ngun hoi a pathoup awh teh, a kâhuet hoeh nahanelah, sum hoi cakkin hoi king a tâhet awh.
5 They [are] stiff as a palm, and they do not speak, They are surely carried, for they do not step, Do not be afraid of them, for they do no evil, Indeed, to do good is also not in them.”
Samtuekung patetlah a kangdue teh, lawk dei thai hoeh, cet hai cet thai hoeh, hrawm lah hrawm a ngai. Hotnaw hah taket awh hanh, rucatnae banghai na poe thai hoeh, hawinae hai banghai sak thai hoeh.
6 Because there is none like You, O YHWH, You [are] great, and Your Name [is] great in might.
Oe BAWIPA, nang patetlah e apihai awm hoeh. Nang teh na len tangak, na min hai thaonae hoi a lentoe tangak.
7 Who does not fear You, King of the nations? For it is befitting to You, For among all the wise of the nations, And in all their kingdom, there is none like You.
Nang teh, bari laipalah apimaw kaawm han. Oe miphun pueng e siangpahrang, hetheh nang na kamcunae roeroe doeh. Miphunnaw thung hoi thoseh, lungkaang pueng thung hoi thoseh, ahnimae ram thung pueng dawk hoi thoseh, nang patetlae api buet touh hai awm hoeh.
8 And as one they are brutish and foolish, An instruction of vanities [is] the tree itself.
Ahnimouh teh abuemlahoi panuenae awm hoeh a pathu awh. Hottelah ayawmyin lah kaawm e thingmeikaphawk koehoi a cang awh.
9 Spread-out silver is brought from Tarshish, And gold from Uphaz, Work of an artisan, and of the hands of a refiner, Their clothing [is] blue and purple, Work of the skillful—all of them.
Ngun dêi e hah Tarshish hoi a sin awh teh, sui hah Uphaz hoi a sin awh. Kutsakkathoumnaw ni sak e, suihlunkathoumnaw ni dêi e, khohnanaw dawkvah, âthi hoi paling e kutsakkathoumnaw ni a sak e seng doeh.
10 And YHWH [is] a God of truth, He [is] a living God, and a perpetual King, The earth shakes from His wrath, And nations do not endure His indignation.
Hote BAWIPA teh Cathut katang doeh, ahni teh kahring Cathut yungyoe siangpahrang lah ao. A lungkhuek nah talai a kâhuet teh, miphun pueng ni a lungkhueknae khang thai awh hoeh.
11 Thus you say to them, “The gods who have not made the heavens and earth, They perish from the earth, And from under these heavens.”
Hetheh dei pouh awh, kalvan hoi talai ka sak hoeh e, cathutnaw heh, talai van hoi kalvan rahim hoi bat a kahma awh han, telah ati.
12 The Maker of the earth by His power, The Establisher of the world by His wisdom, Who, by His understanding, stretched forth the heavens—
Hatei, Cathut ni thaonae hoi talai heh a sak, a thoum lungangnae hoi talaivan heh a caksak teh a panuenae hoi kalvan hah a sak.
13 When He gives forth His voice, A multitude of waters [is] in the heavens, And He causes vapors to come up from the end of the earth, He has made lightnings for rain, And brings out wind from His treasures.
Khoparit lawk a tho nah, kalvan e tuinaw hah pawlawk a cai, talai poutnae koehoi tâmai a tâco sak. Sumpapalik teh kho a rak sak teh hnoim thung dawk hoi kahlî a tho sak.
14 Every man is brutish by knowledge, Every refiner is put to shame by a carved image, For his molten image [is] false. And there is no breath in them.
Tami pueng ni bang a panue awh hoeh dawk panuenae tawn awh hoeh, suihlunkathoumnaw ni hai a dei awh e hah a kayakhai. Ahnimouh ni a thuk awh e meikaphawk hah teh, ayawmyin pui doeh, kâha hai tawn awh hoeh.
15 They [are] vanity, work of erring ones, They perish in the time of their inspection.
Aphu awm hoeh, dumyennae thaw lah doeh ao, rek lah ao awh toteh, he a kahma awh han.
16 The Portion of Jacob [is] not like these, For He [is] the Framer of all things, And Israel [is] the rod of His inheritance, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name.
Jakop ni a pang hanelah hetnaw patetlah awm awh mahoeh, bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni teh bangpueng kasakkung lah ao, Isarel heh râw lah ao teh, a min teh ransahu BAWIPA doeh.
17 Gather your merchandise from the land, O dweller in the bulwark,
Nangmouh rapan thung kaawmnaw uknaeram dawk kaawm e na hnonaw hah pâkhueng leih.
18 For thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am slinging out the inhabitants of the land at this time, And have been an adversary to them, So that they are found out.”
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, atuvah, hete ram thung vah kaawm taminaw hah kai ni ka tâkhawng han, ahnimouh van vah kângairunae ka pha sak han.
19 Woe to me for my breaking, My striking has been grievous, And I said, “Surely this [is] my sickness, and I bear it.”
Ka patawnae dawk yawthoe lah ka o. Hmâ ka ca e heh a patawpoung oe! Hatei, hetheh reknae doeh ka khang hanlah ao, ka ti rah.
20 My tent has been spoiled, And all my cords have been broken, My sons have gone out from me, and they are not, There is none stretching out my tent anymore, And raising up my curtains.
Kaie rim teh a rawk teh, kaie ruinaw pueng koung a thouk toe. Ka capanaw hai kai koe hoi koung a cei awh teh, buet touh hai awm awh hoeh toe, kaie rim ka sak hane awm hoeh toe, ka o nahan ka sak hane hai awm hoeh.
21 For the shepherds have become brutish, And they have not sought YHWH, Therefore they have not acted wisely, And all their flock is scattered.
Tukhoumnaw hai bang panuek awh hoeh, BAWIPA koe pacei e hah panuek awh hoeh, hatdawkvah, a hmacawn awh hoeh, a tuhunaw koung a kâkayei awh han.
22 A voice of a report, behold, it has come, Even a great shaking from the north country, To make the cities of Judah a desolation, A habitation of dragons.
Khenhaw! atunglae ram koehoi runae kalenpui Judah khopuinaw kingdi sak vaiteh, kahrawnguinaw onae lah o sak nahane pawlawk a kamthang.
23 I have known, O YHWH, that not of man [is] his way, Not of man [is] the going and establishing of his step.
Aw, BAWIPA tami hringnae heh amae nahoeh, tie ka panue, tami ni a khok takannae lam hai amae nahoeh.
24 Discipline me, O YHWH, only in judgment, Not in Your anger, lest You make me small.
BAWIPA, kai heh na lungkhuek laihoi laipalah, lannae hoi na pathoup haw telah nahoeh pawiteh, na kahmat sak langvaih.
25 Pour out Your fury on the nations that have not known You, And on the families that have not called on Your Name, For they have eaten up Jacob, Indeed, they have eaten him up, indeed, they consume him, And they have made his habitation desolate!
Nang kapanuekhoehnaw hoi na min ka kaw hoeh e Jentel miphunnaw van vah, na lungkhueknae hah awi haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh ni Jakop hah he a ca awh. A khosaknae ram haiyah kingdi han.
