Jeremiah 12
1 You [are] righteous, O YHWH, When I plead toward You, Only, let me speak judgments with You, Why did the way of the wicked prosper? All treacherous dealers have been at rest.
Namah taengla kang rhoe vaengah BOEIPA namah tah na dueng coeng. Tedae laitloeknah te namah taengah ka thui koinih balae tih halang rhoek kah longpuei tah thaihtak tih hnukpoh rhoek loh a hnukpoh boeih khaw a dingsuek?
2 You have planted them, Indeed, they have taken root, They go on, indeed, they have made fruit, You [are] near in their mouth, And far off from their reins.
Amih te na phung tih a yung a hlak dongah a thaih cuen. A ka nen tah na yoei uh dae a kuel lamloh hla coeng.
3 And You, O YHWH, You have known me, You see me, and have tried my heart with You, Draw them away as sheep to slaughter, And separate them for a day of slaughter.
Tedae BOEIPA namah loh kai nan ming. Kai he nan hmuh tih ka lungbuei khaw na noem coeng. Amih te maeh la namah taengah boiva bangla bawt lamtah ngawnnah khohnin kah ham rhoe laeh.
4 Until when does the earth mourn, And the herb of the whole field wither? For the wickedness of those dwelling in it, Beast and bird have been consumed, Because they said, “He does not see our latter end.”
Diklai he me hil nim a nguekcoi vetih khohmuen boeih kah baelhing a rhae ve. A khuikah khosa rhoek kah boethae dongah rhamsa neh vaa te a khoengvoep tih, “Kaimih kah hmailong he khui pawh,” a ti uh.
5 “For you have run with footmen, And they weary you, And how you fret yourself with horses! Even in the land of peace, [In which] you are confident—And how will you do in the rising of Jordan?
Rhalkap neh na yong vaengah pataeng na ngak atah metlamlae te marhang taengah na sai eh? Ngaimong kho ah pataeng na palyal atah metlamlae Jordan kah mingthennah khuiah na saii eh?
6 For even your brothers and the house of your father, Even they dealt treacherously against you, Even they called after you fully, Do not trust in them when they speak good things to you.
Amih na manuca neh na pa imkhui long pataeng nang taengah hnukpok uh coeng. Amih te nang taengah khuk pang uh tih nang kah na then te thui uh cakhaw amih te tangnah boeh.
7 I have forsaken My house, I have left My inheritance, I have given the beloved of My soul Into the hand of her enemies.
Ka im te ka hnoo vetih ka rho te ka phap ni. Ka hinglu pumting te a thunkha kut ah ka tloeng ni.
8 My inheritance has been to Me as a lion in a forest, She gave forth against Me with her voice, Therefore I have hated her.
Kamah taengah ka rho la om dae kai taengah duup kah sathueng bangla a ol neh ha thoeng. Te dongah ni anih te ka hmuhuet.
9 [Is] My inheritance a speckled bird to Me? Is the bird around against her? Come, assemble, every beast of the field, Come for food.
Ka taengkah ka rho he rhikrhek vatlung nim oe? A taengkah vatlung kilkoel nim oe? Cet uh, kohong mulhing boeih coi lamtah caak hamla lo.
10 Many shepherds destroyed My vineyard, They have trodden down My portion, They have made My desirable portion Become a wilderness—a desolation.
Aka dawn rhoek loh ka misurdum muep a phae tih ka hmakhuen te a suntlae uh. Ka hmakhuen sahnaih te khosoek khopong la a khueh uh.
11 He has made it become a desolation, The desolation has mourned to Me, All the land has been desolated, But there is no one laying it to heart.
Khopong la a khueh vaengah kamah taengah nguekcoi uh. Diklai pum he a dingrhak la pong coeng tih lungbuei ah aka dueh hlang khaw om pawh.
12 Spoilers have come in on all high places in the plain, For the sword of YHWH is consuming, From the end of the land even to the end of the land, There is no peace to any flesh.
Aka rhoelrhak ham te khosoek kah caphoei cuk boeih soah ha pawk coeng. BOEIPA kah cunghang tah diklai khobawt lamloh diklai khobawt duela a hlap tih pumsa boeih tah a ngaimong pawh.
13 They sowed wheat, and have reaped thorns, They have become sick—they do not profit, And they have been ashamed of your increases, Because of the fierceness of the anger of YHWH.”
Cang a tuh dae hling la a ah uh dongah a kha uh akhaw hoeikhang uh pawh. BOEIPA kah thintoek thinsa lamloh na cangvuei khaw yak coeng.
14 Thus said YHWH: “Concerning all My evil neighbors, who are striking against the inheritance that I caused My people—Israel—to inherit: Behold, I am plucking them from off their ground, And I pluck the house of Judah out of their midst.
Kamah pilnam Israel taengah ka phaeng rho dongah aka moi uh ka imben boethae boeih ham ni BOEIPA loh a thui tangkhuet. Kai loh amih te a khohmuen dong lamloh ka phuk tih Judah imkhui te amih lakli lamloh ka phuk.
15 And it has been, after My plucking them out, I turn back, and have pitied them, And I have brought them back, Each to his inheritance, and each to his land.
Tedae ka phuk hnukah amih te ka mael thil vetih amih ka haidam khaw om bitni. A rho taeng neh a diklai la rhip rhip ka mael sak ni.
16 And it has come to pass, If they learn the ways of My people well, To swear by My Name, YHWH lives, As they taught My people to swear by Ba‘al, Then they have been built up in the midst of My people.
A tue a pha atah Baal lamloh toemngam ham ka pilnam a tukkil uh bangla mulhing BOEIPA kamah ming neh toemngam ham ka pilnam longpuei te a tukkil rhoela a tukkil ni. Ka pilnam lakli ah tlingtlawn uh ni.
17 And if they do not listen, Then I have plucked up that nation, Plucking up and destroying,” A declaration of YHWH!
Tedae a hnatun uh pawt atah namtom te phuk tih milh sak ham ka phuk van ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
