Jeremiah 8
1 "At that time," says the LORD, "they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his officials, and the bones of the cohanim, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;
Te tue vaengkah BOEIPA olphong loh Judah manghai rhoek kah a rhuh neh a mangpa rhoek kah a rhuh, khosoih rhoek kah a rhuh neh tonghma rhoek kah a rhuh khaw, Jerusalem khosa rhoek kah a rhuh te a phuel lamloh a khuen rhoe a khuen uh ni.
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.
Te vaengah khomik neh, hla neh, vaan caempuei boeih taengah a yaal uh ni. Te ni a lungnah uh tih a thothueng thiluh. Te te a hnukah a pongpa uh tih te te a toem uh, a bawk uh. Tedae hloem uh pawt vetih up uh mahpawh diklai hman ah aek bangla om ni.
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 the LORD of hosts.
Aka coih cako lamkah a meet boeih loh hingnah lakah dueknah te a tuek ni. Hmuen takuem kah boethae neh aka sueng rhoek he ka heh ni. Caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
4 "Moreover you shall tell them, 'Thus says the LORD: Shall men fall, and not rise up again? Shall one turn away, and not return?
Te phoeiah amih te thui pah. BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. A cungku uh atah thoo uh pawt nim? A mael atah ha mael mahpawt nim?
5 Why then do these people of Jerusalem turn away in perpetual backsliding? They hold fast deceit; they refuse to return.
Pilnam he balae tih a mael? Jerusalem tah hnuknong la a mawt tih a huep te a ngaitoeih uh dongah ha mael ham a aal uh.
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.
Ka hnatung tih ka hnatun a thuem la a thui uh moenih. A saii boeih te balae ti ham khaw a thae dongah dam aka ti hlang a om moenih. A yong a yong doeah caemtloek la aka vikvuek marhang bangla mael.
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 the LORD's law.
Vaan kah bungrho long khaw a tingtunnah a ming tih vahui neh marhang, marhang neh langloep loh a rhaai tue a ngaithuen. Tedae ka pilnam loh BOEIPA kah laitloeknah te ming uh pawh.
8 How can you say, "We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us?" But, look, the lying pen of the scribes has worked falsehood.
Metlam lae kaimih taengah BOEIPA kah olkhueng om tih ka cueih na ti uh. Tedae cadaek rhoek kah laithae cacung a muk te laithae rhoe la he.
9 The wise men are disappointed, they are dismayed and taken: look, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what kind of wisdom is in them?
Aka cueih rhoek te yak uh vetih rhihyawp dongah man uh ni. BOEIPA kah olka a hnawt uh dongah amih ham mebang cueihnah nim aka om te?
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.
Te dongah a yuu rhoek te a tloe taengla, a khohmuen te aka pang taengla ka paek tangloeng pawn ni. Tanoe lamloh kangham hil a mueluemnah ham boeih a mueluem. Tonghma lamkah khosoih hil a pum la laithae a saii.
11 They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people superficially, saying, "Peace, peace;" when there is no peace.
Ka pilnam canu kah pocinah te vapsa la a toi uh. Rhoepnah rhoepnah a ti ham vaengah rhoepnah om pawh.
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 the LORD.
A yah ham tueilaehkoi la a saii vaengah a yah ham om dae yak pawt tih hmaithae khaw ming uh pawh. Te dongah amih cawhnah tue ah aka cungku lakli ah cungku uh van vetih paloe uh ni. BOEIPA loh a thui coeng.
13 I will utterly consume them, says the LORD: 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.'"
Amih te boeih ka coi vetih ka thup ni. BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Misur dongah misurthaih om mahpawh. Thaibu dongah thaibu thaih om pawt vetih a hnah khaw hoo ni. Amih aka paan te amih taengla ka paek ni.
14 "Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there; for the LORD our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
Balae tih mamih n'ngol sut. Tingtun uh sih lamtah hmuencak khopuei la ael uh sih. Mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen loh mamih n'kuemsuem sak dongah pahoi kuemsuem uh sih. BOEIPA taengah n'tholh uh dongah sue tui ni mamih n'tul coeng.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and look, dismay.
Sading ham lamtawn dae a then om pawh, hoeihnah tue ham vaengah letnah la poeh he.
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.
A marhang a phit te Dan lamloh a yaak, a lueng kah a kawk ol ah diklai tom hinghuen. Ha pawk uh vaengah khohmuen neh a khopuei boeih, a khuikah khosa boeih te a yoop.
17 For, look, I will send serpents, adders, among you, which will not be charmed; and they shall bite you," says the LORD.
Rhulthae rhul te nangmih taengah kan tueih coeng he. Te rhoek te calthai nen khaw a coeng pawt dongah nangmih n'tuk ni. BOEIPA kah olphong ni he.
18 "My joy for me is sorrow. My heart is faint within me.
Ka mongnah khaw ka khuikah kothaenah dongah ka lungbuei tah hal coeng.
19 Look, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: 'Isn't the LORD in Zion? Isn't her King in her?'" "Why have they provoked me to anger with their engraved images, and with foreign vanities?"
khohla bangsang kho lamkah ka pilnam nu kah a pang ol la ke. Zion ah BOEIPA a om moenih a? A manghai khaw a khuiah a om moenih a? Balae tih kholong kah a mueidaep neh a honghi la kai m'veet uh.
20 "'The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.'
Cangah a poeng tih khohal khaw bawt coeng dae mamih tah n'khang moenih.
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt: I mourn; dismay has taken hold on me.
Ka pilnam nu pocinah dongah kopang neh ka paep tih imsuep bangla kai n'kolek.
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 ah thingpi a om moenih a? Te ah te aka hoeih sak khaw om tangloeng pawh. Balae tih ka pilnam nu kah sadingnah loh ha pawk pawh.
