< Jeremiah 22 >
1 Thus said YHWH: “Go down [to] the house of the king of Judah, and you have spoken this word there, and have said,
Angraeng mah, Judah siangpahrang im ah caeh tathuk ah loe, to ah hae lok hae thui paeh,
2 Hear a word of YHWH, O king of Judah, who are sitting on the throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people, who are coming in at these gates,”
David ih angraeng tangkhang pongah anghnu, Aw Judah siangpahrang, nang, nangmah hoi na tamnanawk, hae khongkha hoiah akun nangmah ih kaminawk boih, Angraeng ih lok to tahngai oh, tiah thuih;
3 Thus said YHWH: “Do judgment and righteousness, And deliver the plundered from the hand of the oppressor, And sojourner, orphan, and widow, you do not oppress nor wrong, And innocent blood you do not shed in this place.
Angraeng mah, Toenghaih to sah oh loe, katoengah lok takroek oh; naeh ih kami to pacaekthlaek kami ban thung hoiah pahlong oh; angvin, ampa tawn ai kami hoi lamhmainawk nuiah kahoih ai hmuen to sah o hmah, pacaekthlaek o hmah loe, hae ahmuen ah zaehaih tawn ai kaminawk ih athii to palong o hmah.
4 For if you certainly do this thing, Then kings sitting for David on his throne Have come in by the gates of this house, Riding on chariot, and on horses, He, and his servants, and his people.
Hae lokpaekhaih hae na pazui o tangtang nahaeloe, David ih angraeng tangkhang pongah anghnu, hrang lakok angthueng kaminawk, hrang angthueng kaminawk, angmah hoi anih ih tamnanawk hoi anih ih kaminawk loe hae im khongkha hoiah akun o tih, tiah thuih.
5 And if you do not hear these words, I have sworn by Myself,” A declaration of YHWH, “That this house is for a desolation.”
Toe hae paek ih loknawk hae na pazui o ai nahaeloe, Hae im loe pong sut tih, tiah kaimah hoi kaimah lokkamhaih ka sak boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
6 For thus said YHWH concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You [are] Gilead to Me—head of Lebanon, If not—I make you a wilderness, Cities [that] are not inhabited.
Judah siangpahrang ih im kawng pongah, Angraeng mah, Nang loe kai hanah Gilead baktiah na oh, Lebanon ih mae kamsum baktiah na oh; toe praezaek baktih, kami om ai vangpuinawk baktiah kang ohsak han, tiah thuih.
7 And I have separated destroyers for you, Each with his weapons, And they have cut down the choice of your cedars, And have cast them on the fire.”
Nang amrosak hanah, kami boih angmacae ih maiphaw maica hoiah kang patoeh han, na koeh koek ih sidar thing to nihcae mah pakhruh pae ving ueloe, hmai ah tik o tih.
8 And many nations have passed by this city, And they have each said to his neighbor, “Why has YHWH done thus to this great city?”
Hae vangpui taengah kacaeh pop parai prae kaminawk mah, tipongah hae lensawk vangpui hae Angraeng mah to tiah sak vai? tiah maeto hoi maeto angdueng o tih.
9 And they have said, “Because that they have forsaken The covenant of their God YHWH, And bow themselves to other gods, and serve them.”
To naah nihcae mah, Angmacae Angraeng Sithaw ih lokmaihaih to pahnawt o ving moe, kalah sithawnawk bok o pacoengah, a tok sak pae o pongah ni, to tiah oh, tiah pathim o tih.
10 You do not weep for the dead, nor bemoan for him, Weep severely for the traveler, For he does not return again, Nor has he seen the land of his birth.
Sithaw mah kadueh kami siangpahrang Josiah hanah qah o haih hmah, palung doeh sae o haih hmah; toe misong ah kalaem a capa siangpahrang Jehoahaz hanah qah o haih ah; tipongah tih nahaeloe anih loe amlaem let mak ai boeh, a prae doeh hnu let mak ai boeh.
11 For thus said YHWH concerning Shallum son of Josiah king of Judah, who is reigning instead of his father Josiah, who has gone forth from this place: “He does not return here again;
Ampa Josiah zuengah prae ka uk, hae prae thung hoiah tacawt, Judah siangpahrang, Josiah capa Shallum ih kawng pongah, Angraeng mah, anih loe hae ah amlaem let mak ai boeh,
12 For he dies in the place to where they have removed him, And he does not see this land again.
nihcae mah misong ah hoih o ih prae ah ni dueh tih, hae prae hae hnu let mak ai boeh, tiah a thuih.
13 Woe to him who is building his house by unrighteousness, And his upper chambers by injustice, He lays service on his neighbor for nothing, And he does not give his wage to him.
Toeng ai ah im sah kami, toeng ai ah imkhaannawk sah kami, imtaeng kami azom ah toksahsak kami, toksakhaih atho paek ai kami, siangpahrang Jehoiakim loe khosak bing!
14 Who is saying, I build a large house for myself, And airy upper chambers, And he has cut out its windows for himself, Covered with cedar, and painted with vermillion.
Anih mah, kalen parai im hoi imkhaannawk to ka sak han, tiah thuih moe, thokbuen to a buemh, sidar thing hoiah tapang to tapang pacoengah, rong kamling tasi to a nok.
15 Do you reign, because you are fretting yourself in cedar? Your father—did he not eat and drink? Indeed, he did judgment and righteousness, Then [it is] well with him.
Sidar thing oephaih hoiah maw siangpahrang ah na oh? Nam pa loe caaknaek tawn ai maw? Anih loe toenghaih hoiah toksak moe, katoengah lok takroek pongah, khosak hoihaih to a hnuk.
16 He decided the cause of the poor and needy, Then [it is] well—is it not to know Me?” A declaration of YHWH.
Anih loe kamtang hoi kavawt kaminawk hanah toenghaih hoiah lokcaek; to pongah khosak hoihaih to a hnuk; kai panoekhaih atho loe to tiah na ai maw oh? tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
17 “But your eyes and your heart are not, Except on your dishonest gain, And on shedding of innocent blood, And on oppression, and on doing of violence.”
Toe nang ih mik hoi na palung loe, hmuenmae koeh hmoekhaih, zae tawn ai kami humhaih, pacaekthlaekhaih, tha hoi minawk ih hmuenmae lomhhaih bang khue ah oh.
18 Therefore, thus said YHWH concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: “They do not lament for him, Oh, my brother! And, Oh, my sister! They do not lament for him, Oh, lord! And, Oh, his splendor!
To pongah Josiah capa Judah siangpahrang, Jehoiakim kawng pongah, Mi mah doeh Oe, kam nawk, Oe, ka tanuh, tiah anih to qah o haih mak ai; Oe, ka angraeng, Oe, a lensawkhaih, tiah palung doeh sae o haih mak ai, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
19 He is buried [with] the burial of a donkey, Dragged and cast out there to the gates of Jerusalem.
Anih to Jerusalem khongkha tasa bangah va o ueloe, laa hrang aphum baktiah aphum o tih.
20 Go up to Lebanon, and cry, And give forth your voice in Bashan, And cry from Abarim, For all loving you have been destroyed.
Lebanon ah caeh tahang ah loe, hang ah; Bashan ah hang ah, nam puinawk amro o boih boeh pongah, Abarim hoiah hang ah.
21 I have spoken to you in your ease, You have said, I do not listen, This [is] your way from your youth, For you have not listened to My voice.
Khosak hoih nathuem ah kang thuih boeh; toe ka tahngai mak ai, tiah nang naa. Hae loe nawkta nathuem hoi kaom na tuinuen roe boeh ni; ka lok hae na tahngai ai.
22 Wind consumes all your friends, And your lovers go into captivity, Surely then you are ashamed, And have blushed for all your wickedness.
Nang ih tuutoep kaminawk loe takhi mah hmut boih ueloe, nam puinawk doeh misong ah laem o tih; na sethaih pongah azathaih na tongh ueloe ahmin sae tih.
23 O dweller in Lebanon, making a nest among cedars, How gracious have you been when pangs come to you, Pain—as of a travailing woman.”
Aw Lebanon ah kaom, sidar thingnawk ah tabu sah kaminawk, nangcae nuiah nathaih phak naah loe, kawkruk maw nongpata caa tapen nathuem ih kana baktiah na hang o tih!
24 “[As] I live,” A declaration of YHWH, “Though Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah was a seal on My right hand, surely there I draw you away,
Angraeng mah, Kai ka hing pongah Judah siangpahrang Jehoikim ih capa Koniah loe, ka bantang ban angmathaih bantuek ah oh, toe kang khringh ving moe,
25 And I have given you into the hand of those seeking your life, And into hands of which you are afraid, Into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of the Chaldeans.
na hinghaih pakrong kami, na zit parai ih, Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar hoi Khaldian kaminawk ban ah ka paek han.
26 And I have cast you, And your mother who bore you, to another country, Where you were not born, and you die there.
Nangmah hoi nang tapenkung nam no to na tapenhaih prae ai, prae kalah ah kang haek hoi han, nanghnik loe to ah na dueh hoi tih.
27 And to the land to where they are lifting up their soul to return, They do not return there.”
Amlaem let han na koeh hoi parai ih prae ah natuek naah doeh nam laem hoi let mak ai boeh, tiah a thuih.
28 A grief—a despised broken thing—is this man Coniah? A vessel in which there is no pleasure? Why have they been cast up and down, He and his seed, Indeed, were they cast on to a land that they did not know?
Hae kami loe azat paek han kaom ai, mi mah doeh koeh ai ih kami, minawk mah patoek moe, sakcop ih krang ah kaom Koniah na ai maw? Tipongah angmah hoi a caanawk to haek moe, nihcae mah panoek vai ai ih prae ah vah o ving loe?
29 Earth, earth, earth, hear a word of YHWH!
Aw long, long, long, Angraeng ih lok to tahngai oh!
30 Thus said YHWH: “Write this man down [as] childless, A man—he does not prosper in his days, For none of his seed prospers, Sitting on the throne of David, And ruling in Judah again!”
Angraeng mah, Hae kami loe caa tawn ai, a hing thung khosak hoih ai kami, a caanawk loe khosak hoih kami om o mak ai; mi kawbaktih doeh David ih angraeng tangkhang nuiah anghnu o mak ai ueloe, Judah prae doeh uk o mak ai boeh, tiah tarik ah, tiah a thuih.
