< Jeremiah 8 >
1 "At that time," says Jehovah, "they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his officials, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;
Hatnae tueng nah BAWIPA ni telah a dei, Judah siangpahrang hrunaw, vaihma hrunaw, profet hrunaw, Jerusalem tanminaw e hrunaw hah amamae phuen koehoi a thaw awh han.
2 and they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and which they have sought, and which they have worshiped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried, they shall be for dung on the surface of the earth.
Ahnimanaw ni lungpataw teh thaw tawk pouh awh, a hnukkâbang pouh awh, a pacei awh teh a bawk awh e kanî hoi thapa hoi kalvan e âsinaw pueng hmalah a dan awh han.
3 Death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places where I have driven them," says Jehovah of hosts.
Kai ni ka pâlei e hmuen pueng koevah, hete tamikathout miphunnaw ni hringnae hlak duenae arawihnawn awh telah ransahu BAWIPA ni ati.
4 "Moreover you shall tell them, 'Thus says Jehovah: Shall men fall, and not rise up again? Shall one turn away, and not return?
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei tie hah ahnimouh koe dei pouh, taminaw tâlaw awh navah bout thaw awh hoeh maw, lam a payon awh navah bout ban awh mahoeh maw.
5 Why then do these people of Jerusalem turn away in perpetual backsliding? They hold fast deceit; they refuse to return.
Telah pawiteh, bangkongmaw hete taminaw ni hnuklah a kamlang awh, Bangkongmaw Jerusalem kho taminaw ni hnuklah meng a kamlang awh. Dumnae dawk a lungpen awh teh ban han ngai awh hoeh.
6 I listened and heard, but they did not speak what is right: no man repents him of his wickedness, saying, "What have I done?" Everyone turns to his course, as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle.
A lawk khei ka thai nah, ahnimouh ni lawkkatang hah dei awh hoeh. A thoenae koehoi buet touh ni hai pankângai e awm hoeh. Kai bangmaw ka sak, ati awh. Tarantuk koe marang ka yawng e patetlah tami pueng ni lam a phen awh teh, amamae lamthung dawk koung a yawng awh toe.
7 Yes, the stork in the sky knows her appointed times; and the turtledove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people do not know Jehovah's law.
Lathueng kamleng tavanaw ni patenghai a tue hah a panue awh teh, batuiling, bakhunaw, pingpitnaw, hoi tuicawmpainaw ni hai tho nahane a tue teh a panue awh. Hatei, ka taminaw ni teh BAWIPA e a kawnae hah panuek awh hoeh.
8 How can you say, "We are wise, and the law of Jehovah is with us?" But, look, the lying pen of the scribes has worked falsehood.
Bangtelamaw, kaimouh teh ka lungang awh, BAWIPA e kâlawk kaimouh koe ao na ti thai awh vaw. cakathutkungnaw e cacung ni laithoe a tawm sak awh toe hei.
9 The wise men are disappointed, they are dismayed and taken: look, they have rejected the word of Jehovah; and what kind of wisdom is in them?
A lungkaangnaw yeirai a phu awh han. Puen awh vaiteh, man lah ao han. BAWIPA e lawk a pahnawt awh toe, bangpatet lungangnae maw a tawn awh.
10 therefore I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those who shall possess them: for everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness; from the prophet even to the priest every one deals falsely.
Hatdawkvah, a yunaw hah tami alouknaw koe ka poe han. A lawnaw hai ayânaw koe ka poe han. Kathoengca koehoi kalenpoung totouh kahounlounnaw lah ao awh. Profetnaw hoi vaihmanaw hai laithoe koung a dei awh.
11 They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people superficially, saying, "Peace, peace;" when there is no peace.
Ka taminaw, ka canunaw e hmâ hah phouhoucalah a khet awh. Lungmawngnae kaawm hoeh e hah, lungmawngnae lungmawngnae atipouh awh.
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No. They were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among those who fall; in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, says Jehovah.
Panuet ka tho e nuencangnaw dawk a kaya awh maw, kayak awh hoeh. Kayanae roeroe tawn awh hoeh. A minhmai patenghai paling awh hoeh. Hatdawkvah, ka rawm e taminaw koe a rawp awh van vaiteh, rek lah ao awh nah a rahim lah a bo awh van han telah BAWIPA ni ati.
13 I will utterly consume them, says Jehovah: no grapes shall be on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.'"
A paw a khi awh e naw pueng ka la pouh han. BAWIPA ni ati. Misurkung dawkvah, misur paw awm mahoeh. Thaibunglung kung dawk a paw awm mahoeh, a hnanaw koung kamyai han. Kai ni ahnimanaw koe ka poe e hah bout ka la pouh han.
14 "Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there; for Jehovah our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against Jehovah.
Bangkongmaw sut na tahung awh. Cungtalah kâracut awh vaiteh, rapan ka tawn e khopui dawk kâen awh sei. Haw vah cungtalah dout awh sei. Bangdawk tetpawiteh, maimouh ni BAWIPA koe yon awh toung dawkvah, BAWIPA maimae Cathut ni duenae sue na pânei awh teh, kahmakatanae koe na ta awh toe.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and look, dismay.
Lungmawngnae ngaihawi awh ei, ahawinae tho hoeh toe, tak damnae ngaihawi awh ei, runae seng doeh kaawm toe.
16 The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan: at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembles; for they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it; the city and those who dwell in it.
Tarannaw e marangnaw kâha lawk teh, Dan hoi a thai awh toe. Marangtannaw e a cai lawk ni ram thung pueng pâyaw sak awh toe. Ram hoi a thung e kaawm hnopueng hoi khopui hoi khopui thung kaawm taminaw pueng pâyaw hanlah a tho awh toe.
17 For, look, I will send serpents, adders, among you, which will not be charmed; and they shall bite you," says Jehovah.
Khenhaw! nangmouh koe, hrunthok, hrunthoe ka tha vaiteh, bangtelah hai ti thai lah kaawm hoeh e ni nangmouh teh koung na khue awh han, telah BAWIPA ni ati.
18 "My joy for me is sorrow. My heart is faint within me.
Oe ka lungmathoenae heh api nang ne karoum sak han. Ka thung vah ka lung sut a pout.
19 Look, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: 'Isn't Jehovah in Zion? Isn't her King in her?'" "Why have they provoked me to anger with their engraved images, and with foreign vanities?"
Ram hlanae koe kaawm ka canu ka taminaw e a khuika lawk hah thai haw. Zion vah BAWIPA awm hoeh maw. Siangpahrang hai haw vah awm hoeh toung maw. Bangkong hetnaw ni sakhlawn e meikaphawknaw hoi miphunnaw e meikaphawknaw ni bangkongmaw ka lungkhuek sak awh.
20 "'The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.'
Canga tue a loum toe, kompawi tue a khup toe, maimouh teh rungngang lah awm awh hoeh rah.
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt: I mourn; dismay has taken hold on me.
Ka taminaw hoi ka canaw, patawnae hah ka hmawngkhai. Ka lungmathoe teh kângairunae ni khik na katek.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then isn't the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
Gilead vah hluk hane thingtapi awm hoeh maw. Haw vah tâsibawi awm hoeh maw. Bangkong ka taminaw ka canaw e a hmâ ahawi thai hoeh.
