Jeremiah 13
1 Thus saith Jehovah to me: Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it on thy loins, and put it not into water!
BOEIPA loh kai taengah he ni a thui. Cet lamtah namah ham hlamik hailaem te lai. Te te na cinghen dongah yen lamtah tui dongah tah khuen boeh.
2 So I got a girdle according to the word of Jehovah, and put it on my loins.
Te dongah BOEIPA ol bangla hailaem te ka lai tih ka cinghen ah ka naak.
3 Then the word of Jehovah came to me the second time, saying,
Te phoeiah BOEIPA ol te kai taengah a pabae la ha pawk tih,
4 Take the girdle which thou hast gotten, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.
“Na cinghen kah hailaem na lai te khuen laeh. Te phoeiah thoo lamtah Perath la paan lamtah thaelrhaep thaelpang khuiah pahoi det,” a ti.
5 So I went and hid it near the Euphrates, as Jehovah commanded me.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh kai ng'uen bangla ka cet tih Perath ah hailaem te ka det.
6 And after many days Jehovah said to me. Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take thence the girdle which I commanded thee to hide there.
Tedae khohnin a thoknah muep a om phoeiah tah BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Thoo, Perath la cet lamtah te lamkah hailaem, te rhoek ah det ham nang kang uen te lo laeh,” a ti.
7 Then I went to the Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hidden it; and, behold, the girdle was marred, so that it was good for nothing.
Te dongah Perath la ka cet tih ka too phoeiah hailaem te ka det nah hmuen lamloh pahoi ka loh. Tedae hailaem te poci tih a pum la thaihtak pawh ne.
8 Then the word of Jehovah came to me, saying: —
Te phoeiah BOEIPA ol te kai taengla ha pawk tih,
9 Thus saith Jehovah: After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, And the great pride of Jerusalem.
“He tah BOEIPA long ni a thui, he tlam ni Judah kah hoemdamnah neh Jerusalem kah hoemdamnah aih khaw ka phae eh.
10 This evil people, Who refuse to hearken to my words, Who walk after the obstinacy of their heart, And walk after strange gods, To serve them and to worship them, Shall be like this girdle, Which is good for nothing.
Pilnam he thae tih ka ol hnatun ham huek uh. A lungbuei kah thinthahnah dongah pongpa uh tih, pathen tloe te thothueng ham neh bawk ham a paan uh. Te dongah he kah hailaem bangla om uh vetih boeih thaihtak mahpawh.
11 For as a girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, So have I caused to cleave to me the whole house of Israel, And the whole house of Judah, saith Jehovah, That they might be to me a people, And a name, and a praise, and a glory; But they hearkened not to me.
Hlang kah cinghen ah hailaem a vaep bangla Israel imkhui boeih neh Judah imkhui pum he kamah taengah ka vaep coeng. Kai taengah pilnam la, ming om la, koehnah la, boeimang la om ham he BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni. Tedae a yaak uh moenih.
12 Then shalt thou speak to them in this manner. Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Every flagon shall be filled with wine. And they will say to thee, “Do we not know that every flagon shall be filled with wine?”
Te dongah amih taengah he kah ol he thui pah. He he Israel Pathen BOEIPA long ni a thui. Khap boeih te misurtui a bae vaengah tah namah te, 'Khap tom dongah misurtui a bae sak te ka ming khaw ka ming moenih a?' a ti uh.
13 Then shalt thou say to them, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, And the kings that sit upon David's throne, And the priests, and the prophets, And all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh a thui he amih taengah thui pah. Khohmuen kah khosa boeih te David kah ngolkhoel dongah aka ngol manghai rhoek khaw, khosoih rhoek khaw, tonghma rhoek khaw, Jerusalem khosa boeih kah rhuihahnah khaw ka hah sak coeng he.
14 And I will dash them one against another, Even fathers and children together, saith Jehovah; I will not pity, nor spare, Nor show mercy, so as not to destroy them.
Te vaengah amih te hlang loh a manuca khaw, a napa rhoek neh a ca rhoek khaw ka phop ni. BOEIPA kah olphong bangla ka hnaih pawt vetih ka rhen mahpawh. Amih thup ham te ka haidam mahpawh,” a ti.
15 Hear ye, and attend! be not lifted up! For Jehovah speaketh.
Hnatun lamtah hnakaeng laeh, BOEIPA loh a thui coeng dongah namah sang voel boeh.
16 Give glory to Jehovah, your God, Before he bring darkness, And your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, And, while ye look for light, He turn it into deathlike shade, And make it gross darkness.
Hmuep hlan tih hlaemhmah tlang ah na kho a yawk hlan vaengah thangpomnah te BOEIPA na Pathen ham pae laeh. Vangnah te na lamtawn cakhaw dueknah hlipkhup la poeh vetih yinnah la pai rhoe pai ni.
17 But if ye will not hear, I will mourn in secret places for your pride, I will weep continually, And my eyes shall run down with tears, Because the flock of Jehovah is carried away captive.
Tedae na hnatun pawt akhaw ka hinglu he a huephael ah rhap bitni. Koevoeinah dongah rhap, rhap vetih BOEIPA kah tuping a sol dongah ka mik kah mikphi khaw long bitni.
18 Say to the king and to the queen, Sit ye down upon the ground, For your beautiful crown shall fall from your heads.
Manghai neh manghainu te, “Na lu kah na boeimang rhuisam tah tla pawn ni, kunyun lamtah khosa,” a ti nah.
19 The cities of the South are shut up, and none openeth them; Judah is carried away captive, all of it, Every man of it is carried away captive.
Tuithim khopuei rhoek te a khaih vetih ong uh mahpawh. Judah te a pum la a sol tih ngaimong la a poelyoe.
20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the North! Where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock?
Na mik te huel, huel lamtah tlangpuei lamkah aka pawk te hmu khaw hmuh van lah. Nang taengah m'paek tuping neh na boeimang boiva te melae?
21 What wilt thou say when he shall punish thee? For thou thyself hast taught them to be lords over thee. Shall not sorrows seize thee, as a woman in travail?
Nang soah a hal tih na tukkil vaengah balae na thui eh? Amih te nang sokah na lu dongah boeihlum la om uh ni. Rhuihet neh nang m'pin uh vetih huta cacun bangla na om mahpawt nim?
22 And if thou say in thine heart, “Wherefore are these things coming upon me?” For the greatness of thy iniquity are thy skirts uncovered, And thy heels made bare.
Te vaengah na thinko khuiah, “He he balae tih kai taengla ha cuuk,” na ti cakhaw namah kathaesainah a khawk dongah ni na hnihmoi hang khawn uh tih na khodil hang huet uh.
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, Or the leopard his spots? Then may ye also do good, Who have been accustomed to do evil.
Kushi loh a vin, kaihlaeng loh a dikdek te a thovael thai nim? Nang khaw lolmang thaehuet loh na voelphoeng ham coeng thai nim?
24 Therefore will I scatter you like stubble, Which passeth away before the wind of the desert.
Te dongah amih te khosoek khohli loh divawt a yawn bangla ka taekyak ni.
25 This is thy lot, The portion measured out for thee by me, saith Jehovah, Because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
Na hmulung buham, na himbaidok he kai taeng lamkah ni tite BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Kai he nan hnilh tih a honghi dongah na pangtung coeng.
26 Therefore will I lift up thy skirts over thy head, So that thy shame shall be seen.
Te dongah kai loh na hnihmoi te na mikhmuh ah kang khawn van vetih na yah te tueng ni.
27 Thine adulteries, thy neighings, The lewdness of thy whoredom on the hills, in the fields, All thy abominations, have I seen. Woe to thee, O Jerusalem! How long ere thou wilt become pure!
Na samphaihnah neh na phitnah, na pumyoihnah khonuen rhamtat neh nang te lohma kah som ah sarhingkoi la kam hmuh. Anunae Jerusalem nang te me hil nim na caihcil pawt pueng ve?
