Jeremiah 9
1 Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a spring of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people.
Oe ka lû heh tuikhu lah awm haw pawiteh, ka mit roi heh mitphi tuiphuek lah awm haw pawiteh, ka tami ka canunaw thei lah ao dawkvah, khohmo khodai ka ka yawkaw han toe.
2 Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them. For they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men."
Oe ahnimouh koehoi cei vaiteh, ka taminaw ka ceitakhai thai nahanlah, imyinnaw hanlah roenae hmuen hah kingdinae koe tawn hanlah ka ngai. Bangkongtetpawiteh, abuemlahoi ka uicuk e, dumyen hoi kamkhueng e lah ao awh.
3 "They bend their tongue as a bow. Falsehood and not truth has grown strong in the land; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know me," says YHWH.
Laithoe dei awh nahanlah, a lainaw hah pala patetlah sut a pho awh. Lawk katang hoi ram thung vah roung awh hoeh. A yonnae buet touh koe hoi buet touh patuen a cei awh, kai heh banglah hai na ngai awh hoeh, telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
4 "Everyone be on guard against his neighbor, and do not trust any brother; for every brother is a deceiver, and every neighbor will go about with slanders.
Na huinaw hah kâhruetcuet awh, na hmaunawnghanaw hai kâuep awh hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hmaunawngha abuemlah kadumyennaw lah ao awh teh, a hui pueng hai tamthoe ka dei seng doeh.
5 Everyone deceives his neighbor, and does not speak the truth. They have taught their tongue to speak lies; they do evil, they do not cease so as to return.
Hui hoi hui a kâdoun awh, apinihai lawkkatang dei awh hoeh. A lai heh laithoe deinae lai lah a pâtu awh teh, yonnae hoi amahoima tha a tawn sak awh.
6 Oppression upon oppression, and deceit upon deceit. They refuse to know me," says YHWH.
Laithoe dawk na kangdue awh teh, a laithoenae ni kai panue hanlah ngai awh hoeh, telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
7 Therefore thus says YHWH of hosts, "Look, I will melt them, and try them; for how should I deal with the wickedness of the daughter of my people?
Hatdawkvah, ransahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, khenhaw! ahnimouh teh atui lah kamyawt sak vaiteh, ka tanouk han, ka tami lah kaawm e ka canu heh bangtelamaw ka ti han.
8 Their tongue is a deadly arrow; it speaks deceit: one speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart he lies in wait for him.
Ahnimae a lai teh duenae pala lah ao teh, laithoe lawk a dei awh. A pahni hoi imrinaw koe kâponae lawk a dei awh ei, a lung thung hoi teh, sut a pawp awh.
9 Shall I not visit them for these things?" says YHWH; "shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?"
Hatdawkvah, rek hoe laipalah ka o han na maw, telah BAWIPA ni ati. Hettelah kaawm e lathueng vah kama hoi kama moipathung laipalah ka o han maw.
10 "For the mountains I will take up weeping and wailing, and for the pastures of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are laid waste so that no one passes through; nor can men hear the voice of the cattle. Both the birds of the sky and the animals have fled, they are gone."
Monnaw hanlah lungpataw hoi ka ka vaiteh, kahrawng e phovainaw ka khui han. Hotnaw teh sut a ke awh teh, apinihai pâtam hoe toe. Saringnaw lawk hai thai hoe toe. Lathueng tavanaw hai koung a poung awh teh, kahrawng moithangnaw hai awm hoeh toe.
11 "I will make Jerusalem heaps, a dwelling place of jackals; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant."
Jerusalem teh songnawngbom lah ka hruek vaiteh, kahrawnguinaw onae hmuen lah ka ta han, Judah khonaw hai kingdi sak vaiteh, api buet touh hai awm mahoeh.
12 "Who is the wise man, that may understand this? Who is he to whom the mouth of YHWH has spoken, that he may declare it? Why is the land perished and burned up like a wilderness, so that none passes through?"
Hete hno panue thai nahan a lungkaang e apimaw. BAWIPA ni apimaw a cangkhai teh hete hno heh kacaicalah ka dei thai. Apinihai a pâtam hoeh e thingyei patetlah a ram hah he a kak.
13 YHWH says, "Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked in it,
BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, ahnimouh hmalah ka ta pouh e, kaie kâlawk hah a pahnawt awh teh, ka lawk ngai awh hoeh, cangkhainae lawk hai tarawi awh hoeh.
14 but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart, and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them;
Amamae lung a patanae lamthung hah a tarawi awh, a napanaw ni a cangkhai awh e patetlah Baal hnuk a kâbang awh.
15 therefore thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel, 'Look, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
Hatdawkvah, ransahu BAWIPA Isarel Cathut ni hettelah a dei, khenhaw! hete taminaw heh rawca kakhat ka ca sak vaiteh, kakhat e tui hah ka nei sak han.
16 I will scatter them also among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known; and I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.'"
Ahnimouh hoi a napanaw ni a panue boihoeh e miphunnaw koe kâkayeisak vaiteh, ahnimanaw be raphoe hoehroukrak tahloi ka pâlei sak han.
17 Thus says YHWH of hosts, "Consider, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for the skillful women, that they may come:"
Ransahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, atu kahawicalah pouk awh haw, ka kap thai e napuinaw hah tho hanlah kaw awh leih, ahnimouh imthung dawk hai kalung kathoumpoungnaw hah lawk thui awh.
18 "and let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.
Ahnimanaw hah karang tho sak nateh, mamae mitphi a lawng teh, mamae mitsum dawk hoi tui a phuek hoehroukrak, maimouh na kapkhai lawiseh.
19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, 'How are we ruined. We are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our dwellings.'"
Kanae lawk heh Zion hoi thai thai lah ao. Banghloimaw rawk awh tangngak toe. Yeiraipo awh katang toe. Na imlawnaw a ro katang toung dawkvah, ram teh ka ceitakhai awh toe.
20 "Yet hear the word of YHWH, you women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth; and teach your daughters wailing, and everyone her neighbor lamentation.
Atuvah, Oe napuinaw, BAWIPA e lawk heh thaihaw, a pahni dawk e lawk koe lah hnâpakeng haw, na canunaw bangtelamaw a ka awh han tie hah cangkhai awh. Kalungla buet touh hoi buet touh kâcangkhai awh.
21 'For death has come up into our windows, it is entered into our palaces; to cut off the children from outside, and the young men from the streets.'
Duenae teh hlalangaw koehoi a kâen teh, im thung vah a kâen, lamthung dawk e camonaw a takhoe teh lamlawng e nawsainaw a pâlei toe.
22 Speak, 'Thus says YHWH, "The dead bodies of men shall fall as dung on the open field, and as the handful after the harvester; and none shall gather them."'"
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, tami kadoutnaw e ro teh laikawk dawk e vaipuen patetlah thoseh, cang ka a naw ni cabong a pâhma awh e patetlah thoseh, apinihai ahnimouh teh bout kuem awh mahoeh toe, telah dei pouh.
23 Thus says YHWH, "Do not let the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, do not let the rich man glory in his riches;
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, tami lungkaang ni lungangnae dawk kâoup hanh naseh, thakasai ni thasainae dawk kâoup hanh naseh, bawi ni hai a bawinae dawk kâoup hanh naseh.
24 but let him who boasts boast in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am YHWH who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight," says YHWH.
Hatei, apipatet hai kâoup ngai pawiteh, het dawk kâoup naseh, kai na ka nout hoi na ka panuek e hah teh BAWIPA lungpatawnae, ka thuem hoi lannae talai van kasakkung doeh, hete hninaw heh ka lunghawinae doeh, telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
25 "Look, the days come," says YHWH, "that I will punish all those who are circumcised in uncircumcision:
Takthai dawk dueng vah vuensom ka a e taminaw pueng rek nahane atueng teh a pha toe, telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
26 Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the people of Ammon, and Moab, and all that have the corners of their hair cut off, who dwell in the wilderness; for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart."
Izip, Judah, Edom, Ammon, Moab, hoi thingyei ram ahlanae koe kaawm e tami pueng hai, hote miphunnaw pueng teh vuensom ka a hoeh e taminaw lah ao awh. Isarel imthung buemlah hoi lungthin lahoi vuensom ka a hoeh e seng doeh, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
