Jeremiah 7
1 The word that came unto Jeremiah, from Yahweh saying: —
BAWIPA koehoi Jeremiah koevah lawk hah a pha teh,
2 Stand thou in the gate of the house of Yahweh, and thou shalt proclaim there this word, —and shalt say—Hear ye the word of Yahweh all Judah ye who are entering in at these gates, to bow down unto Yahweh:
BAWIPA e im takhang koe kangdout nateh, hawvah hete lawk hah dei pouh, BAWIPA bawk hanelah hete takhang dawk kâen e nangmouh Judah tami pueng, BAWIPA e a lawk hah thai awh haw!
3 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, Amend your ways, and your doings, —That I may cause you to dwell in this place.
Ransahu BAWIPA Isarel Cathut ni hettelah a dei, na nuencang hoi na hnosaknaw hah pathoup awh telah pawiteh, hete hmuen koe kho na sak awh han.
4 Do not, on your part trust in false words, saying, —The temple of Yahweh The temple of Yahweh, The temple of Yahweh they are!
Hetheh, BAWIPA e bawkim, BAWIPA e bawkim, BAWIPA e bawkim, telah laithoe lawk heh yuem awh hanh.
5 But, if ye shall thoroughly amend, your ways, and your doings, —Shall thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbour;
Na nuencang hoi na sak e kahawicalah kâpathoup awh nateh, ayâ hoi na imri rahak kalan lah lawkceng pouh awh pawiteh,
6 The sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, shall not oppress, And innocent blood, shall not shed in this place, —And after other gods, shall not walk to your own hurt,
miphun alouknaw, naranaw, lahmainaw na hnephnap awh hoehpawiteh, tamikalannaw e thi hete hmuen koe na palawng awh hoehpawiteh, na mamanaw rawk nahan Cathut alouke hnuk na kâbang awh hoeh pawiteh,
7 Then will I cause you to dwell In this place, In the land which I gave to your fathers, —From one age even unto another,
na mintoenaw koe yungyoe hanlah ka poe e hete ram dawk na o sak awh han.
8 Lo! ye, on your part, are trusting in false words, —To no profit!
Hatei khenhaw! banglahai ka tho hoeh e dumyennae lawknaw hah na kâuep awh.
9 Are ye to steal, commit murder and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, —and walk after other gods whom ye have not known;
Na paru awh, ayâ na thei awh, na uicuk awh teh laithoe na dei awh, Baal koevah hmuitui na thueng awh teh, nangmouh ni na panue hoeh e cathut alouke hnuk na kâbang awh.
10 And will ye then come in and stand before me in this house whereon my Name hath been called, and say, —We have set ourselves free, —for the purpose of committing all these abominations?
Hathnukkhu na tho awh teh, ka min hoi kaw lah kaawm e hete im thung ka hmaitung na kangdue awh teh, hete panuetkathonaw sak laihoi rungngang e lah ka o na ti awh han na maw.
11 A den of robbers, hath this house on which my Name hath been called become in your own eyes? I, also, —lo! I have seen it Declareth Yahweh.
Ka min lahoi kaw e hete im heh, nangmae mithmu vah dingcanaw e khu lah maw a coung toung vaw. Hatei, kama roeroe ni ka hmu telah BAWIPA ni ati.
12 For go I pray you, unto my place which was in Shiloh, Where I made my Name to dwell, at first, —And see what I did to it, because of the wickedness of my people Israel!
Kai ni ka min o nahanlah ahmaloe ka sak e Shiloh hmuen koe atu cet nateh, ka tami Isarelnaw e thoenae dawkvah hno ka sak e hah khenhaw!
13 Now, therefore—Because ye have done all these deeds Declareth Yahweh, —And though I spake unto you betimes speaking, Yet ye hearkened not, And though I cried unto you Yet ye answered not,
Het patet lae hnonaw pueng na sak navah, amom ka thaw teh nang koe lawk boutbout ka dei ei, thai han na ngai awh hoeh, kai ni na kaw awh navah, na pathung awh hoeh.
14 Therefore will I do to the house Whereon my Name hath been called Wherein, ye, are trusting, Even to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, —Just as I did unto Shiloh;
Hatdawkvah, Shiloh vah ka sak e patetlah ka min lahoi kaw e hete im nangmanaw hoi napanaw koe kai ni ka poe e hmuen na kâuep awh e lathueng vah ka sak van han.
15 And will cast you out from before me, —Just as I have cast out All your brethren, All the seed of Ephraim.
Na hmaunawnghanaw pueng Ephraim miphun abuemlah ka tâkhawng e patetlah ka hmalah hoi nangmouh koung na tâkhawng awh han telah BAWIPA ni ati.
16 Thou, therefore—Do not pray for this people Neither lift up for them cry or prayer Neither intercede with me, —For I am not going to hear thee.
Hatdawkvah, hete taminaw hanelah ratoum pouh hanh leih, ahnimouh hanelah pahrennae hai het pouh hanh leih, kai ni ka thai pouh mahoeh toe.
17 Dost thou not see what, they, are doing In the cities of Judah, —and In the streets of Jerusalem?
Judah khonaw hoi Jerusalem lamthungnaw dawk hno a sak awh e naw na hmawt awh hoeh maw.
18 The children, gather wood, and The fathers, kindle the fire, and The women, knead dough, —To make sacrificial cakes to the queen of the heavens, And to pour out drink-offerings to other gods, Provoking me to anger!
Camonaw ni thing a cawng awh teh, a napanaw ni hmai a patawi awh, napuinaw ni tavai a kanawk awh teh, kalvan siangpahrangnu hanelah vaiyei a karê pouh awh, kai ka lungkhuek nahanelah, cathut alouknaw nei hanelah a hlun pouh awh.
19 Is it me, they are provoking? Enquireth Yahweh, —Is it not themselves, —unto the shame of their own faces?
Hatei, kai doeh ahnimouh ni lung na khuek sak awh, telah BAWIPA ni ati. Amamouh kaya nahanelah, amamouh hoi amamouh kâpoe awh e nahoehmaw.
20 Wherefore, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh—Lo! mine anger and mine indignation, are about to be poured out upon this place, On man and on beast, and On the tree of the field and On the fruit of the ground, —And it shall burn and shall not be quenched.
Hatdawkvah, Bawipa Jehovah ni hettelah a dei, ka lungkhueknae hoi ka lungphuennae heh hete hmuen koe kaawm e taminaw lathueng hoi saringnaw lathueng vah, kahrawng e thingkungnaw hoi talai dawk e apawhik van vah, ka rabawk han, hotnaw teh a kak awh vaiteh, roum mahoeh.
21 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, —Your ascending-offerings, add ye unto your peace-offerings and eat ye flesh.
Ransahu BAWIPA Isarel Cathut ni hettelah a dei, cet awh nateh, hmaisawi thuengnae sathei na thueng awh e hoi alouke e sathei thapsin nateh, a moi hah cat awh.
22 For I bade not your fathers Neither commanded I them, In the day I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, —Concerning the matter of ascending-offering and peace-offering;
Napanaw Izip ram hoi ka thokhai teh ahnimouh koe lawk ka dei navah, hmaisawi hane sathei hoi thuengnae dueng kâ ka poe hoeh.
23 But, this thing, I commanded them—saying, Hearken ye unto my voice, So will I become unto you—a God, And, ye, shall become unto me—a people, —Ye shall therefore walk in all the way that I may command you, To the end it may be well with you;
Ahnimouh koe hete lawk doeh ka poe, Kai e lawk heh thai awh, kai teh nangmae Cathut lah ka o vaiteh, nangmouh teh, kaie ka tami lah na o awh han. Na dei pouh e patetlah mah cet awh, telah pawiteh nangmouh hanlah ahawi han.
24 Yet they hearkened not Neither inclined their ear, But walked, In the counsels—In the stubbornness of their own wicked heart; And went backward, and not forward.
Hatei, ahnimouh ni a ngai awh hoeh teh, banglahai ngai awh hoeh, hottelah amamae lungpatanae lungthin kamathout koe lah dai a kamlang awh. Hmalah cet awh laipalah, hnuklah a ban awh.
25 Ever since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt, until this day, Have I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, Daily, betimes, sending them;
Napanaw ni Izip ram a ceitakhai hoi sahnin totouh, hnin touh hoi hnin touh, hnintangkuem nangmouh koe profetnaw ka patoun.
26 Yet they hearkened not unto me, Neither inclined their ear, —But stiffened their neck, They did more wickedly than their fathers.
Hatei, ahnimouh ni ka lawk hah thai awh hoeh teh, banglahai ngai awh hoeh, a lung pueng hoi a pata awh teh, mintoenaw hlak a yon awh.
27 Therefore shalt thou speak unto them all these words, Though they do not hearken unto thee, —And thou shalt cry aloud unto them Though they do not answer thee; —
Hetnaw pueng heh ka dei pouh han, hatei ahnimouh ni na lawk thai ngai awh mahoeh, ahnimanaw na kaw navah na pathung awh mahoeh.
28 But thou shalt say unto them, —This, is the nation that hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh its God, Neither accepted they correction, —Perished is fidelity, And is cut off out of their mouth.
Hatdawkvah, ahnimouh koevah, hetteh Bawipa Jehovah lawk ka ngai hoeh e miphun, tounnae ka ngai hoeh e miphunnaw doeh na ti han. Lawkkatang a pahma awh teh, apâhni dawk hoi a tâkhawng awh toe.
29 Cut thou off thy crown of hair [O Jerusalem], and cast it away, And lift thou up on the bare heights, a dirge, —For Yahweh hath rejected and cast out the generation with which he was wroth.
Na sam hah ngaw nateh, tâkhawng, a rasangnae cailum hmuen koe cingou haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni a taminaw hah a hnoun toe. A lungkhueknae ni a pha sin e miphun hah a hnamthun takhai toe.
30 For the sons of Judah, have done, that which was wicked in mine eyes, Declareth Yahweh, —They have set their abominations in the house whereon my Name hath been called to defile it;
Judahnaw ni ka mithmu vah hnokathout a sak awh toe, telah BAWIPA ni a pathang. Ka min onae im hah khinsak nahanlah panuettho e hno hah a hruek awh toe.
31 And they have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, To burn up their sons and their daughters in the fire, —Which I commanded not, Neither came it up on my heart,
A capanaw hoi a canunaw hmaisawi hanelah Benhinom yawn vah Topheth hmuenrasang a sak awh. Hot hah teh, kâ ka poe e nahoeh, ka pouknae dawk hai kâen boihoeh.
32 Therefore, lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, When it shall not be called any more—The Topheth, nor The valley of Ben-hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter, —And they shall bury in Topheth, for want of place;
Hatdawkvah, kâhruetcuet awh, a hnin teh a pha toe, telah BAWIPA ni ati. Taminaw niyah hote yawn teh, Topheth telah kaw mahoeh toe, Benhinom yawn telah hai kaw mahoeh toe, tami theinae yawn telah a kaw awh han toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hmuen a houng hoeh totouh Topheth vah a pakawp awh han.
33 And the dead bodies of this people shall become food, For the bird of the heavens, and For the beast of the earth, —And there shall be none to drive them away.
Hete taminaw e ro teh, lathueng tavanaw hoi kahrawng moithangnaw e rawca lah ao han, hotnaw hah apinihai pâlei mahoeh toe.
34 So will I cause to cease, From the cities of Judah, and, From the streets of Jerusalem, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, The voice of the bridegroom, and The voice of the bride, —For, a desolation, shall the land become.
Lunghawi nawmnae lawk Judah ram hoi Jerusalem lathueng vah yu kâpaluennae lawknaw hah kai ni ka pout sak han toe, ram hah teh kingdi lah ao han toe.
