Jeremiah 18
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
BAWIPA koehoi Jeremiah koe ka phat e lawk teh hettelah a o,
2 “Rise, and you have gone down [to] the potter’s house, and there I cause you to hear My words”;
Hlaam kasakkung im cet nateh, hawvah kai ni lawk na poe han, atipouh.
3 and I go down [to] the potter’s house, and behold, he is doing a work on the stones,
Hatdawkvah, hlaam kasakkung im lah ka cei teh, hatnavah hlaam kasakkung, hlaam saknae a tabu koe thaw a tawk e hah ka hmu.
4 and the vessel that he is making is marred, as clay in the hand of the potter, and he has turned and he makes it another vessel, as it was right in the eyes of the potter to make.
Amhru hoi sak e talai teh hlaam kasakkung e kut dawk hoi a rawk dawkvah, kasakkung ni ama ni ahawi ati e patetlah a katha alouke e bout a sak.
5 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA e lawk teh kai koe a pha.
6 “O house of Israel, am I not able to do to you as this potter?” A declaration of YHWH. “Behold, as clay in the hand of the potter, So [are] you in My hand, O house of Israel.
Oe Isarel imthungkhu, hete hlaam kasakkung ni hlaam a sak e patetlah kai ni nangmouh heh na sak thai mahoeh maw, telah BAWIPA ni ati. Hlaam kasakkung e kut dawkvah talaihlaam ao e patetlah oe Isarel imthungkhu nangmouh hai kaie kut dawkvah na o awh.
7 The moment I speak concerning a nation, And concerning a kingdom, To pluck up and to break down, and to destroy,
Nâtuek hai uknae thoseh, miphun kong dawk thoseh, phawk hoi ka raphoe vaiteh, ka yei han telah ka dei nakunghai,
8 And that nation has turned from its evil, Because I have spoken against it, Then I have relented of the calamity that I thought to do to it.
hote miphun ni ahni taranlahoi ka dei e kecu dawk, hawihoehnae kamlang takhai pawiteh, a lathueng vah hawihoehnae sak hanelah, ka kâcai e hah ka kâhno han.
9 And the moment I speak concerning a nation, And concerning a kingdom, to build, and to plant,
Hahoi nâtuek e atueng hai miphun kong dawk thoseh, uknae kong dawk thoseh, ka sak vaiteh, ka kangdue sak han telah ka dei nakunghai,
10 And it has done evil in My eyes, So as not to listen to My voice, Then I have relented of the good That I have spoken of doing to it.
ka dei e ngai laipalah ka mithmu vah kathoute sak pawiteh, ahni hanlah hawinae ka sak han ka tie hah, let ka kâhno han.
11 And now, speak now to men of Judah, And against inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus said YHWH: Behold, I am framing calamity against you, And devising a scheme against you; Please turn back, each from his evil way, And amend your ways and your doings.”
Hatdawkvah, Judah taminaw hoi Jerusalem khokasaknaw koe BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. KHenhaw! nangmae kong dawk hnokahawi e ka pouk teh, kâtarannae ka pouk lahun, tami pueng ni kahawihoehe nuencang hah kamlang takhai pawiteh, na hringnae khosaknae nuen hah kâthung awh telah tet pouh.
12 And they have said, “It is incurable, For we go after our own plans, And each of us does the stubbornness of his evil heart.”
Hateiteh, ahnimouh ni hot teh ngaihawinae kaawm hoeh e doeh ati, ma ni ahawi tie patetlah o awh vaiteh, tami pueng a lungpouk payonnae ni kâ a poe e patetlah sak awh han telah ati awh.
13 Therefore, thus said YHWH: “Now ask among the nations, Who has heard such things? The virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Jentelnaw pacei awh haw, het patet lae apinimaw a thai boi, Isarel tanglakacuem ni takikatho e hno hah a sak toe.
14 Does snow of Lebanon Cease from the rock of the field? Will the cold strange [waters] that are flowing be forsaken?
Lebanon mon talung van e ka bawt e tadamtui hah tami buet touh ni a ceitakhai boimaw. A tengpam hoi ka lawng e tuipading hah a hak boimaw.
15 But My people have forgotten Me, they make incense to a vain thing, And they cause them to stumble in their ways—paths of old, To walk in paths—a way not raised up,
Ka taminaw ni na pahnim awh dawkvah, patopatang kaawm hoeh e meikaphawk koevah hmuitui a sawi awh. Hote ni vah ayan e lamkaruem a phen sak awh. Picai hoe e lamthung lam a dawn awh.
16 To make their land become a desolation, A continuous hissing, Everyone passing by it is astonished, And bemoans with his head.
Amamae ram teh yungyoe panuikhai hanelah a ceitakhai awh teh, ka cet kaawm pueng ni kângairu teh a lûsaling sin awh.
17 I scatter them before an enemy as with an east wind, I show them the neck and not the face, In the day of their calamity.”
Kanîtholae kahlî kathout patetlah tarannaw hmalah, peng kâkayei sak han. A yawthoenae hnin nah ka hmalah tho laipalah ka hnukkhu lah a kamlang takhai han telah ati.
18 And they say, “Come, And we devise schemes against Jeremiah, For law does not perish from the priest, Nor counsel from the wise, Nor the word from the prophet, Come, and we strike him with the tongue, And we do not attend to any of his words.”
Ahnimouh ni tho awh, Jeremiah hah youk awh sei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, vaihmanaw koe e kâlawk kahmat mahoeh, profetnaw koe e lawk hai pout mahoeh, tho awh, pathoe awh sei, a lawk hai bang lah noutna pouh hanh sei, telah ati awh.
19 Give attention, O YHWH, to me, And listen to the voice of those contending with me.
Oe BAWIPA ka kong heh pouk haw, kai ka tarannaw e lawk hah na thai pouh haw.
20 Is evil repaid instead of good, That they have dug a pit for my soul? Remember my standing before You to speak good of them, To turn back Your wrath from them.
Hnokahawihoehe hah, hnokahawi hoi pathung boimaw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka hring nahanelah tangkawm a tai awh. Ahnimouh koehoi ka lungkhueknae roum nahane hoi ahnimouh hanelah hawinae dei hanelah, na hmalah ouk ka kangdue e hah na pahnim pouh hanh.
21 Therefore, give up their sons to famine, And cause them to run on the sides of the sword, And their wives are bereaved and widows, And their men are slain by death, Their young men [are] struck by sword in battle,
A canaw hah takang kâhmo sak nateh, tahloi thakaawme kâhmo sak haw. A yunaw hah a due awh vaiteh lahmai la coung awh naseh, a napanaw hah lacik hoi dout awh naseh, karoung lahun e naw hai taran hmuen koe tahloi hoi thei e lah awm awh naseh.
22 A cry is heard from their houses, For You suddenly bring a troop against them, For they dug a pit to capture me, And they have hidden snares for my feet.
Tarankatuknaw hah ahnimouh koe pouk laipalah na pha sak torei teh, a imthung dawk hoi khuika lawk kampaw naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, man hanelah na kâcai awh dawkvah, tangkom a tai awh teh, ka khok kâman nahanelah karap a patung awh.
23 And You, O YHWH, You have known, All their counsel against me [is] for death, You do not cover over their iniquity, Nor blot out their sin from before You, And they are made to stumble before You, Work against them in the time of Your anger!
Oe BAWIPA kai thei hanelah a kâcai awh e hah na panue toe. Ahnimae yonnae hah yontha pouh hanh. Na hmaitung vah a payonnae naw hah kahmat sak hanh. Na hmalah kamlet sak nateh na lungkhueknae hnin na vah hottelah sak haw.
