< Jeremiah 7 >

1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
Jeremiah khaeah angzo Angraeng ih lok loe hae tiah oh;
2 “Stand in the gate of the house of YHWH, and you have proclaimed this word there, and have said, Hear a word of YHWH, all you of Judah, who are coming in at these gates, to bow before YHWH.”
Angraeng im khongkha ah angdoe ah loe to ah hae lok hae taphong ah; Angraeng bok hanah hae khongkha thungah akun, nangcae Judah kaminawk boih, Angraeng ih lok hae tahngai oh.
3 Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Amend your ways, and your doings, And I cause you to dwell in this place.
Misatuh Angraeng hoi Israel Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; Na caehhaih loklamnawk hoi na sak ih hmuennawk to pakhraih oh, to tih nahaeloe hae ahmuen ah kang oh o sak han.
4 Do not trust for yourselves To the words of falsehood, saying, The temple of YHWH! The temple of YHWH! These [are] the temple of YHWH!
Hae loe Angraeng ih tempul ni, Angraeng ih tempul ni, Angraeng ih tempul ni, tiah amsawnlok thui kaminawk to tang hmah.
5 For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, If you thoroughly do judgment Between a man and his neighbor,
Na caeh o haih loklamnawk hoi na sak o ih hmuennawk to na pakhraih o tangtang moe, kami maeto hoi maeto katoengah lokcaek pacoengah,
6 You do not oppress sojourner, fatherless, and widow, And innocent blood is not shed in this place, And [you] do not walk after other gods, for evil to yourselves,
imtaeng kami, angvin, ampa tawn ai kami hoi lamhmainawk doeh pacaekthlaek ai, hae ahmuen ah zaehaih tawn ai kami to na hum o ai boeh moe, aimah nganbawh kana paek hanah kalah sithawnawk to na bok o ai boeh nahaeloe,
7 Then I have caused you to dwell in this place, In the land that I gave to your fathers, From age even to age.
dungzan ah toep hanah nam panawk khaeah ka paek ih, hae ahmuen ah kang oh o sak han.
8 Behold, you are trusting for yourselves On the words of falsehood, so as not to profit.
Khenah, nangcae loe tidoeh avang ai, alinghaih loknawk to na tang o lat.
9 Stealing, murdering, and committing adultery, And swearing to falsehood, and giving incense to Ba‘al, And going after other gods whom you did not know.
Na paquk o, kami na hum o, zu sava nuiah zaehaih na sak o moe, amsawnlok na thuih o, Baal khaeah hmuihoih tui na thlaek o moe, na panoek o ai ih kalah sithawnawk hnukah na bang o.
10 And you have come in and stood before Me, In this house on which My Name is called, And have said, We have been delivered, In order to do all these abominations.
Nang zoh o moe, ka hmin hoiah kawk ih hae im hmaa ah nang doet o, Ka loih o boeh pongah, hae baktih panuet thok hmuennawk sak hanah ka zii o ai, tiah na thuih o han vop maw?
11 Has this house, On which My Name is called, Been a den of burglars in your eyes? Even I, behold, have seen,” A declaration of YHWH.
Ka hmin hoiah kawk ih hae im loe nangcae mik ah mingcahnawk ohhaih thlungkhaw ah maw na poek o? Khenah, ka hnuk boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
12 “But go now to My place that [is] in Shiloh, Where I caused My Name to dwell at first, And see that which I have done to it, For the wickedess of My people Israel.
Toe vaihi hmaloe koekah ka hmin caksakhaih ahmuen, Shiloh ih ka ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh ah loe kai ih kasae Israelnawk pongah ka sak ih hmuen to khenah.
13 And now, because of your doing all these works,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I speak to you, rising early and speaking, And you have not listened, And I call you, and you have not answered,
Vaihi Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih, hae baktih hmuennawk boih na sak pongah, nangcae khaeah kang thuih o, khawnthaw ah kang thawk moe, lok ka thuih, toe lok tahngaih han na koeh o ai; kang kawk o, toe nang pathim o ai,
14 I also have done to the house on which My Name is called, In which you are trusting, And to the place that I gave to you, and to your fathers, As I have done to Shiloh.
to pongah Shiloh khaeah ka sak ih baktih toengah, ka hmin hoiah kawk ih na oep o haih ih im, nangmacae hoi nam panawk khaeah ka paek ih hae ahmuen khaeah ka sak han.
15 And I have cast you from before My face, As I have cast out all your brothers, The whole seed of Ephraim.
Nam nawkamyanawk boih, Ephraim ih atiinawk boih ka haek baktih toengah, ka hmaa hoiah kang haek han.
16 And you do not pray for this people, Nor lift up crying and prayer for them, Nor intercede with Me, for I do not hear you.
To pongah hae kaminawk hanah lawkthui pae hmah, nihcae hanah tahmenhaih doeh hni pae hmah; kai khaeah doeh tahmenhaih hni hmah, kang tahngai pae mak ai.
17 Are you not seeing what they are doing In cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem?
Judah vangpuinawk hoi Jerusalem loklamnawk ah timaw a sak o, tito na hnu ai maw?
18 The sons are gathering wood, And the fathers are causing the fire to burn, And the women are kneading dough, To make cakes to the queen of the heavens, And to pour out drink-offerings to other gods, So as to provoke Me to anger.
Nawktanawk mah thing to akhuih o, ampanawk mah hmai to tik o, van siangpahrang ih zu hanah, nongpatanawk mah takaw to naep o; kai palungphuisak hanah kalah sithawnawk khaeah naek han koi tui to a paek o.
19 Are they provoking Me to anger?” A declaration of YHWH, “Is it not themselves, For the shame of their own faces?”
To tiah maw kai ang pahrue o? tiah Angraeng mah thuih; angmacae mikhmai set hanah nihcae mah na ai maw kai palung ang phui o sak?
20 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “Behold, My anger and My fury is poured out on this place, On man, and beast, and on tree of the field, And on fruit of the ground, And it has burned, and it is not quenched.”
To pongah Angraeng Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; khenah, hae ahmuen ah, kami nuiah, taw ih moi kasan nui ah, taw ih thingnawk hoi long ih thingthainawk nuiah, palungphuihaih to ka kraih han; to ih hmai mah paduek thai ai khoek to hmuennawk to kangh tih.
21 Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Add your burnt-offerings to your sacrifices and eat flesh.
Misatuh Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; hmai hoi angbawnhaih to kalah hmuen tathlanghaih hoi nawnto suem oh, toe moi to loe caa oh.
22 For I did not speak with your fathers, Nor did I command them in the day of My bringing them out of the land of Egypt, Concerning the matters of burnt-offering and sacrifice,
Nam panawk Izip prae thung hoi ka zaeh naah, hmai angbawnhaih hoi hmuen tathlanghaih kawng to nihcae khaeah ka thui pae ai, lok doeh ka paek ai.
23 But this thing I commanded them, saying, Listen to My voice, And I have been to you for God, And you are to Me for a people, And have walked in all the way that I command you, So that it is well for you.
Toe nihcae khaeah, Ka lok tahngai oh, to tih nahaeloe nangcae ih sithaw ah ka om ueloe, nangcae doeh kai ih kami ah na om o tih; khosak na hoih o thai hanah, kang thuih o ih loklamnawk hae pazui oh, tiah ka thuih pae.
24 And they have not listened, nor inclined their ear, And they walk in the counsels, [And] in the stubbornness, of their evil hearts, And are backward and not forward.
Toe nihcae mah tahngai o ai, naa doeh patueng o ai; hmabang caeh o ai ah palungthahaih, poeksethaih hoiah hnukbang ah amlaem o lat.
25 Even from the day when your fathers Went out of the land of Egypt until this day, I send all My servants the prophets to you, Daily rising early and sending,
Nam panawk mah Izip prae tacawt o taak nathuem hoi kamtong vaihni ni khoek to, nangcae khaeah ka tamna tahmaanawk to kang patoeh, ni thokkruek khawnthaw ah kang thawk moe, nihcae to nangcae khaeah kang patoeh.
26 And they have not listened to Me, Nor inclined their ear—and they harden their neck, They have done evil above their fathers.
Toe nihcae mah ka lok to tahngai o ai, naa doeh patueng o ai, palung a thah o; ampanawk pongah doeh set o kue.
27 And you have spoken all these words to them, And they do not listen to you, And you have called to them, And they do not answer you.
To pongah nihcae khaeah hae loknawk hae na thuih pae boih; toe nihcae loe tahngai o mak ai; nihcae to na kawk, toe na pathim o mak ai.
28 And you have said to them: This [is] the nation that has not listened, To the voice of its God YHWH, Nor have they accepted instruction, Steadfastness has perished, Indeed, it has been cut off from their mouth.
To pongah nihcae khaeah, Nangcae loe Angraeng Sithaw ih lok tahngai ai acaeng ah na oh o, thuitaekhaih doeh na koeh o ai pongah, loktang lok loe anghmat boeh; loktang lok loe nihcae ih pakha thung hoiah tacawt boih boeh, tiah thui ah, tiah ang naa.
29 Cut off your crown, and cast [it] away, And lift up lamentation on high places, For YHWH has rejected, And He leaves the generation of His wrath.
Aw Jerusalem, na sam to aat ah loe vah ving ah; hmuensangnawk ah qah ah; palungphuihaih mah phak thuih ih adung kaminawk loe, Angraeng mah vah ving moe, pahnawt sut boeh.
30 For the sons of Judah Have done evil in My eyes,” A declaration of YHWH, “They have set their abominations in the house On which My Name is called—to defile it,
Judah kaminawk loe ka mikhnuk ah kasae hmuen to sak o boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih; ka hmin hoi kawk ih im to amhnongsak hanah, panuet thok hmuennawk to a suek o boeh.
31 And have built the high places of Tophet, That [are] in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, To burn their sons and their daughters with fire, Which I did not command, Nor did it come up on My heart.
Ka thui ai moe, palung thungah doeh ka poek ai ih, a capanawk hoi a canunawk hmaithlaek hanah, Hinnom capa ih azawn ah Topheth hmuensang to a sak o boeh.
32 Therefore, behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And it is no longer said, The Tophet, And, Valley of the Son of Hinnom, But, Valley of the Slaughter, And they have buried in Tophet—without place.
To pongah acoe oh, khenah, Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; kaminawk mah Topheth, tiah kawk o mak ai, Hinnom capa ih azawn, tiah doeh kawk o mak ai, kami humhaih azawn, tiah kawkhaih ani to pha tih; ahmuen kong ai khoek to, nihcae to Topheth ah aphum o tih.
33 And the carcass of this people has been for food To a bird of the heavens, and to a beast of the earth, And there is none troubling.
Hae kaminawk ih qok loe, van ih tavaanawk hoi long ih moinawk hanah buh ah om tih; to ih moi kasannawk loe mi mah doeh hui mak ai.
34 And I have caused to cease from cities of Judah, And from streets of Jerusalem, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom, and voice of bride, For the land becomes a desolation!”
Judah vangpuinawk, Jerusalem loklamnawk ah oephaih lok, nawmhaih lok, zu paluemh nongpa ih lok, sava sah nongpata ih lok to ka dipsak han; prae loe angqai krang ah ni om tih boeh, tiah a thuih.
