< Jeremiah 2 >

1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Hahoi BAWIPA e lawk teh kai koe a pha.
2 Go and you will proclaim in [the] ears of Jerusalem saying thus he says Yahweh I remember to you [the] covenant loyalty of youth your [the] love of betrothal your walking you after me in the wilderness in a land not sown.
Cet nateh, Jerusalem ka thai lah hram haw. BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, phaw hoeh e kahrawng hoi kingkadi e kahrawng dawk kaie hnuk na kâbang awh navah, na nawca nah, na ngainae hoi na lawkkam na lungpatawnae hah ka pahnim hoeh.
3 [was] a holy thing Israel to Yahweh [the] beginning of (produce his *Q(K)*) all [those who] devour it they will be held guilty calamity it will come to them [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Isarel te BAWIPA koe thoungnae lah ao, hmaloe e aluepaw lah ao. Ahni kacatnaw pueng teh, raphoe lah ao han. Ahnimae lathueng vah, rawknae a pha han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
4 Hear [the] word of Yahweh O house of Jacob and all [the] clans of [the] house of Israel.
Oe, Jakop imthung hoi Isarel imthungnaw pueng BAWIPA e lawk hah thai awh haw.
5 Thus - he says Yahweh what? did they find ancestors your in me injustice that they became distant from with me and they walked after vanity and they became vain.
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Na mintoenaw ni kai dawkvah bangpatet e lanhoehnae maw a hmu awh teh, kai koehoi kahlatpoung lah a cei te, meikaphawk pâlei teh, kabawknaw lah a coung awh.
6 And not they said where? [is] Yahweh who brought up us from [the] land of Egypt who led us in the wilderness in a land of desert plain and pit in a land dry and deep darkness in a land [which] not he has passed in it anyone and not he has dwelt anyone there.
BAWIPA ni Izip ram hoi na tâcokhai teh, kingkadi e kahrawng, tangkom apapnae hmuen, duenae tâhlip hoi, thingyeiyawn pinihai a cei hoeh nae, ao boihoeh nae hmuen dawk, kacetkhainaw hah, na maw ao telah hai bout tet awh hoeh.
7 And I brought you into [the] land of the orchard to eat fruit its and good thing[s] its and you came and you made unclean land my and inheritance my you made into an abomination.
Canei hane kahawi apapnae ram dawk na kâenkhai awh. Hateiteh, na kâen awh toteh, ka ram dawk na kamhnawng awh teh, ka râw hah panuettho e lah na coungsak awh.
8 The priests not they said where? [is] Yahweh and [those who] handled the law not they knew me and the shepherds they rebelled against me and the prophets they prophesied by Baal and after [things which] not they profited they walked.
Na maw BAWIPA teh ao telah, vaihmanaw ni tet awh hoeh. Cakathutkungnaw ni hai kai na panuek awh hoeh. Ka ukkungnaw ni hai, kai na taran awh teh, profetnaw ni Baal e lawk hah a pâpho awh teh, cungkeihoehe hno hah a pâlei awh.
9 Therefore again I will contend with you [the] utterance of Yahweh and with [the] children of children your I will contend.
Hatdawkvah, namamouh hoi na catounnaw totouh, kai ni na taran awh han, telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
10 For pass over [the] coasts of Cyprus and see and Kedar send and consider carefully exceedingly and see there! it has happened like this.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Kittim tuilum hloilah cet awh nateh, khen awh. Kedar ram dawk, tami patoun awh nateh, kahawicalah pouk awh, het patet e hno het ao boimaw.
11 ¿ Has it exchanged a nation gods and they not [are] gods and people my it has exchanged glory its for [that which] not it profits.
Miphun alouke ni amamae cathut hah cathut katang nahoeh ei, a thung boimaw. Hatei ka taminaw ni bawilennae naw hah banghai cungkeihoeh lah a thung awh toe.
12 Be appalled O heaven on this and shudder be desolate exceedingly [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Oe, Kalvannaw, kângairu awh, muenruengthaw lah, pâyaw hoi awm awh, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
13 That two evil things it has done people my me they have forsaken a spring of - water living to dig for themselves cisterns cisterns broken which not they contain water.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka taminaw ni kathoute kahni touh a sak awh. Tui kahring a phueknae, kai hah na ceitakhai awh teh, songkong kâbawng e tui kamuem thai hoeh e hah a sak awh.
14 ¿ A slave [is] Israel or? one born of [the] household [is] it why? has it become plunder.
Isarel teh san na maw. Ahni teh, im hoi ka tâcawt e san na maw. Bangkongmaw lawphno lah a coung.
15 On it they have been roaring young lions they have given voice their and they have made land its into a waste cities its (they are burnt *Q(K)*) because not inhabitant.
Sendektan kanawnaw ni a huksin awh. Nangmouh koe a hram teh, a ram hah koung a raphoe awh. A khopui hai karingkung awm laipalah hmai be a kak.
16 Also [the] people of Memphis (and Tahpanhes *Q(k)*) they will graze you scalp.
Noph tami hoi Tahpanhes tami nihai, na bawilukhung hah rak a hem awh.
17 ¿ Not this have you done to yourself by forsaking you Yahweh God your at [the] time of [one who] led you in the way.
Nangmanaw lam ka hrawi e BAWIPA Cathut hah na pahnawt awh dawkvah, hete heh nangmouh lathueng a pha sak nahoehmaw.
18 And therefore what? [is] to you to [the] journey of Egypt to drink [the] water of [the] Shihor and what? [is] to you to [the] journey of Assyria to drink [the] water of [the] River.
Sihor tui nei hanelah, bangkongmaw Izip lamthung na dawn. Euphrates palang tui nei hanelah, bangkongmaw, Assiria lamthung na dawn.
19 It will punish you wickedness your and apostasies your they will rebuke you and know and see that [is] evil and bitter forsaking you Yahweh God your and not awe of me [is] with you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts.
Na hawihoehnae ni na hringnae a toun vaiteh, hnukkhu lah na bannae ni na yue han. Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA Cathut na pahnawtnae hoi, kai na takinae na thung vah, kaawm hoeh e hah, yonnae hoi, kakhat e doeh tie hah, kamcengcalah panuek, telah ransahu Bawipa Jehovah ni a dei.
20 That from long ago I broke off yoke your I tore off fetters your and you said not (I will transgress *Q(K)*) for on every hill high and under every tree luxuriant you [have been] lying down a prostitute.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ayan e na kahnam hah ka khoe teh, a rui hai ka bouk toe, mon rasang tangkuem hoi, thing rahim tangkuem vah, na tabut teh, tak na kâyo, nange kâ ka ek mahoeh telah na ti.
21 And I I had planted you a choice vine all of it [was] seed of reliability and how? have you changed yourself to me [the] degenerate [ones] of the vine alien.
Kahawipounge ati hoi ka talue e misur lah na ung. Bangkongmaw, ka hmaitung hoi na kamlang teh, misur kaphawk lah na coung.
22 That though you will wash with soda so you may increase for yourself soap [is] stained iniquity your before me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, longtui hoi na kâpasu teh, sapet moikapap na ka hno nakunghai, na yonnae teh, ka hmalah a kamnue, telah Bawipa Jehovah ni a ti.
23 How? will you say not I have made myself unclean after the Baals not I have walked consider conduct your in the valley recognize what? have you done a young camel swift entwining paths its.
Ka kâkhinsak hoeh, Baal hai ka kâbang hoeh, telah bangkong na tithai, tanghling dawk na khosaknae khenhaw. Na sak e hah pahnim hanh. Nang teh yuengyoe kâva e kalauk patetlah na o.
24 A wild donkey - accustomed to a wilderness in [the] lust of (self its *Q(K)*) it sniffs [the] wind heat its who? will he turn back it all [those who] seek it not they will grow weary in month its they will find it.
Kahrawngum kaawm niteh, cuknae lahoi kahlî ka pahap e kahrawng e la atueng a pha toteh apini maw, a ngang pouh thai han. Katawnkungnaw hah reithai hoi awm hanh naseh, atueng akuep nah bout a hmu awh han doeh.
25 Restrain foot your from barefoot (and throat your *Q(K)*) from thirst and you said despairing In-deed I love strange [gods] and after them I will walk.
Na khok dawk khokkhawm khawm laipalah awm hanh, na adangka hai ke hanh naseh. Hatei nang ni na ngaihawi hane awm hoeh toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, imyin hah lung ka pataw teh, a hnuk vah kâbang han, telah na ti.
26 Like [the] shame of a thief if he is found so they have been put to shame [the] house of Israel they kings their officials their and priests their and prophets their.
Tamru a man teh, kaya e patetlah, Isarel imthung te a kaya awh toe. Ahnimouh hoi, ahnimae siangpahrangnaw, bawinaw, vaihmanaw hoi, profetnaw hoi, a kaya awh.
27 [who] say To wood [are] father my you and to stone you (you gave birth to us *Q(K)*) for they have turned to me a back and not a face and at [the] time of calamity their they will say arise! and save us.
Thingkung koevah, apa lah na o, a titeh, lungsongpui koe, kahrawikung lah na o, telah ti awh, bangkongtetpawiteh, Ahnimae a hmalah laipalah, hnuklah na kamlang takhai awh. Hateiteh, rucatnae a kâhmo toteh, thaw haw, kaimouh na rungngang haw ati awh han.
28 And where? [are] gods your which you made for yourself let them arise if they will save you at [the] time of calamity your for [the] number of cities your they are gods your O Judah.
Hateiteh, na sake na cathut hah, na maw ao. Na rucatnae dawk hoi nangmanaw na rungngang thai pawiteh, ahnimanaw hah thaw sak haw khe, bangkongtetpawiteh, oe, Judah, na cathut te na khopuinaw yit touh a pha awh.
29 Why? do you contend against me all of you you have rebelled against me [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Bang kecu dawk maw, kaie lathueng vah na phuen na ang awh. Nangmouh pueng ni kai na taran lahoi, lawk na ek awh, telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
30 For vanity I struck sons your correction not they accepted it devoured sword your prophets your like a lion destroying.
Ayawmyin lah na canaw ka rek teh, kâponae lah hno ngai awh hoeh. Kamamae profetnaw koung a ca.
31 O generation you consider [the] word of Yahweh ¿ a wilderness have I been to Israel or? a land of darkness why? have they said people my we have roamed not we will come again to you.
Oe, atu se thung e taminaw, BAWIPA e lawk hah khenhaw! Isarel hanelah, kahrawngum hoi kahmawt e ram lah ka o maw. Bang kecu dawk maw, ka taminaw ni, bawi lah ka o awh, nang koe ka tho mahoeh toe, telah ati awh.
32 ¿ Will she forget a virgin ornament[s] her a bride sashes her and people my they have forgotten me days there not [is] number.
Tanglakacuem ni a kamthoupnae, yuvâ kâpaluen e ni kâpathoupnae a pahnim thai han na maw. Hatei ka taminaw ni hnin moikasaw lah na pahnim awh.
33 How! you make good way your to seek love therefore also wicked women (you have taught *Q(K)*) ways your.
Bangkongmaw lungpatawkung tawng hanelah na kamthoup. Hatdawkvah napui kahawihoehe ni na hringnuen na cangkhai toe.
34 Also on skirts your they were found [the] blood of [the] lives of needy [people] innocent not in breaking in you found them for on all these [things].
Yonnae ka tawn hoeh e karoedengnaw na theinae thi hah na hni pawi dawk ka hmu. Arulah ka tuet teh ka hmu e nahoeh. Hatei hete hnonaw pueng teh hmantang vah hmu e doeh.
35 And you said that I am innocent surely it has turned back anger his from me here I [am] about to enter into judgment with with you because saying you not I have sinned.
Hatei nang ni yonnae ka sak hoeh dawkvah, a lungkhueknae teh kai koe hoi a roum han doeh, khenhaw! yonnae ka sak hoeh na ti dawkvah, nang na taran lahoi yah, ka lawk hah bout ka pouk han rah, telah a ti.
36 Why? do you treat lightly exceedingly to change way your also from Egypt you will be ashamed just as you were ashamed from Assyria.
Bangkongmaw, na hringnae kâthung hanelah, yuengyoe na kâva. Assiria na kayakhai e patetlah, Izip hai na kayakhai han.
37 Also from with this [one] you will go out and hands your [will be] on head your for he has rejected Yahweh objects of confidence your and not you will prosper to them.
Na lû dawk na kut na toung hoi ahni koehoi na cei han, bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni na kâuepkhai e hah a pahnawt teh, ahnimouh koehoi hawinae na hmawt mahoeh.
