Jeremiah 4
1 If you will return O Israel - [the] utterance of Yahweh to me you will return and if you will remove detestable things your from before me and not you will waver.
Nam laem let nahaeloe, Aw Israel, kai khaeah amlaem ah, tiah Angraeng mah thuih; panuet thok hmuennawk takhoe ving hanah na koeh nahaeloe, kai khae hoi angthui hmah.
2 And you will swear [by] [the] life of Yahweh in faithfulness in justice and in righteousness and they will bless themselves by him nations and in him they will boast.
Nangmah doeh, Angraeng loe hing, tiah oepthohhaih, lokcaekhaih, toenghaih hoiah lokkamhaih sak han angaih; prae kaminawk doeh anih rang hoiah tahamhoihaih to paek ueloe, anih oephaih rang hoiah lensawkhaih to hnu o tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
3 For thus - he says Yahweh to [the] man of Judah and to Jerusalem plow of you unplowed ground and may not you sow to thorns.
Judah hoi Israel kaminawk khaeah Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; nangmacae ih long to atok oh, soekhring thungah antii to haeh o hmah.
4 Circumcise yourselves to Yahweh and remove [the] foreskins of heart your O man of Judah and [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem lest it should go forth like fire rage my and it will burn and there not [will be one who] extinguishes because of [the] wickedness of deeds your.
Angraeng khaeah tangyat hin aat oh, nangcae Judah hoi Jerusalem kaminawk, nangcae ih palung tangyat hin to aat oh; to tih ai nahaeloe na sak o ih kasae hmuennawk pongah, palung ka phuihaih hmai baktiah tacawt ueloe, mi mah doeh paduek thai ai ah kangh moeng tih.
5 Declare in Judah and in Jerusalem make a proclamation and say (blow *Q(K)*) a trumpet in the land call out fill and say gather yourselves so let us go to [the] cities of fortification.
Judah prae thungah taphong oh loe, Jerusalem ah tha hoi hang oh; prae thung boih ah mongkah to ueng oh; maeto ah amhong oh, nawnto amkhueng oh loe, sipae kacak vangpuinawk thungah caeh o si, tiah thui pae oh.
6 Lift up a standard Zion towards take refuge may not you stand still for calamity I [am] about to bring from [the] north and destruction great.
Zion ah caeh han angmathaih kahni to payang oh, loih hanah cawn oh! Anghak o hmah! Kalen parai amrohaih hoi raihaih to aluek bang hoiah kang sin han.
7 It has gone up a lion from thicket its and a destroyer of nations he has set out he has gone out from place his to make land your into a waste cities your they will fall in ruins from not inhabitant.
Kaipui loe a khaw thung hoiah tacawt boeh; prae kaminawk phraekung loe loklam ah angzoh li; anih loe na prae amrosak hanah a ohhaih ahmuen hoiah tacawt boeh; nangcae ih vangpuinawk loe kami om ai ah pong o sut tih boeh.
8 On this gird yourself sackcloth mourn and wail for not it has turned back [the] burning of [the] anger of Yahweh from us.
To pongah kazii to angzaeng oh, palungnat hoiah qah oh; kanung parai Angraeng palungphuihaih loe aicae khae hoi amlaem ai vop.
9 And it will be on the day that [the] utterance of Yahweh it will perish [the] heart of the king and [the] heart of the officials and they will be appalled the priests and the prophets they will be astounded.
To na niah loe siangpahrang hoi anih ih angraengnawk loe palungboeng o tih; qaimanawk dawnrai o ueloe, tahmaanawk doeh anghmang o sut tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
10 And I said alas! - O Lord Yahweh truly certainly you have deceived the people this and Jerusalem saying peace it will belong to you and it will reach a sword to the throat.
To naah kai mah, Ah, Angraeng Sithaw, kaicae hinghaih nuiah sumsen to phak boeh, toe kamongah na om o tih hmang, tiah na thuih ih lok mah hae kami hoi Jerusalem kaminawk hae na thlaeng boeh, tiah ka naa.
11 At the time that it will be said to the people this and to Jerusalem a wind scorching bare heights in the wilderness [will be] [the] direction of [the] daughter of people my not to winnow and not to cleanse.
To naah hae kami hoi Jerusalem kaminawk khaeah, Hmuensang ih takhi kabae loe praezaek bang hoi kai kami canunawk khaeah song tih, toe to takhi loe hawhsak han ih na ai, ciimsak han ih doeh na ai ni;
12 A wind [too] full for these [things] it will come for me now also I I will speak judgments with them.
Kai khae hoi thacak parai takhi to song tih, vaihi nihcae to lok ka caek han boeh.
13 There! - like clouds he is going up and like the storm-wind chariots his they are swift more than eagles horses his woe! to us for we are devastated.
Khenah, anih loe tamai baktiah angzo tih, anih ih hrang lakoknawk loe takhi kamhae baktiah om tih; anih ih hrang loe tahmu pongah doeh rang kue. Khosak a bing o boeh! Aicae loe amro boeh!
14 Wash from evil heart your O Jerusalem so that you may be saved until when? will it remain in inner being your [the] thoughts of wickedness your.
Aw Jerusalem, pahlong thai hanah, kasae poekhaih palungthin to pasae lai ah. Kasae poekhaihnawk to nasetto maw na thungah om vop tih?
15 For a voice [is] declaring from Dan and [is] proclaiming trouble from [the] hill country of Ephraim.
Dan prae hoiah lok to tacawt moe, Ephraim mae hoiah raihaih tamthang to taphong boeh.
16 Make known to the nations here! proclaim to Jerusalem besiegers [are] coming from [the] land of distance and they have given forth on [the] cities of Judah voice their.
Prae kaminawk boih khaeah thui oh; khenah, Jerusalem misa haih to thui oh; katoep kaminawk loe prae kangthla hoiah angzoh o moe, Judah vangpuinawk misatukhaih lok to paek o boeh.
17 Like [those who] guard a field they are on it from round about for me it has been rebellious against [the] utterance of Yahweh.
To prae mah Kai hae misa ah suek pongah, laikok toep kaminawk baktiah, nihcae mah Judah to takui o khoep boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
18 Conduct your and deeds your they have brought about these [things] to you this [is] wickedness your for it is bitter for it has reached to heart your.
Na caehhaih loklam hoi na sak ih hmuennawk pongah ni hae hmuennawk hae na nuiah phak; na zaehaih pongah ni kakhaa parai hae hmuen hae na palung thungah oh.
19 Inward parts my - inward parts my - (I am waiting *Q(K)*) [the] walls of heart my [is] in turmoil to me heart my not I will keep silent for [the] sound of a trumpet (you have heard *Q(K)*) O self my [the] shout of battle.
Aw palung, palung! Palung thungah nat; kai ih palung loe tapok tom boeh pongah, kaom duem thai ai boeh; Aw ka hinghaih, misa pahruekhaih mongkah lok to na thaih boeh.
20 Destruction to destruction it has been proclaimed for it has been devastated all the land suddenly they have been devastated tents my a moment tent curtains my.
Amro boeh, amro boeh, tiah hang o; prae boih amro boeh; kai ih kahni imnawk loe nawnetta thungah amro moe, imkhaan pakaahaih doeh akra ai ah amro boeh.
21 Until when? will I see a standard will I hear [the] sound of a trumpet.
Nasetto maw kahni payanghaih to ka khet moe, mongkah lok ka tahngaih han vop?
22 For - [is] a fool people my me not they know [are] children fools they and not [are] having understanding they [are] skillful they to do evil and to do good not they know.
Kai ih kaminawk loe amthu o, kai panoek o ai; palungha ai nawktanawk ah oh o moe, panoekhaih tawn o ai; kahoih ai hmuen to sak panoek o moe, kahoih hmuen sakhaih to panoek o ai.
23 I looked at the earth and there! [it was] formlessness and emptiness and to the heavens and there not [was] light their.
Long to ka khet naah, krang om ai, tidoeh om ai; vannawk doeh aanghaih om ai.
24 I looked at the mountains and there! [they were] quaking and all the hills they shook to and fro.
Ka dan naah, maenawk loe tasoeh o moe, maesomnawk doeh ahnuk ahma angthuih o.
25 I looked and there! there not [was] humankind and every bird of the heavens they had fled.
Ka dan naah kami to om ai; van ih tavaanawk doeh azawk o boih boeh.
26 I looked and there! the garden-land [was] wilderness and all cities its they had been pulled down from before Yahweh from before [the] burning of anger his.
Ka dan naah thingthai qumpo hoi kakoi ahmuen loe praezaek ah angcoeng ving moe, vangpuinawk doeh Angraeng hmaa ah amro o boih boeh, kanung parai anih palungphuihaih mah to tiah amrosak boeh.
27 For thus he says Yahweh a desolation it will be all the earth and complete destruction not I will make.
Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; prae boih pong sut tih, toe amro boih mak ai.
28 On this it will mourn the earth and they will be dark the heavens above on for I have spoken I have resolved and not I have repented and not I will turn back from it.
To pongah long loe palungsae tih; vannawk ranui ah khoving tih; ka thuih ih lok baktih toengah, dawnpakhuem mak ai, sak ka timhaih baktih toengah, ka phrae let mak ai.
29 From [the] sound of a horseman and a shooter of a bow [is] fleeing every city people will go in the thickets and on the rocks people will go up every city [is] abandoned and there not [is] dwelling in them anyone.
Hrang angthueng kaminawk hoi kalii avak kaminawk ih atuen pongah, vangpui boih cawn o tih; lungsong thungah akun o ueloe, lungsong nuiah daw o tih; vangpui to caeh o taak boih tih, mi doeh athung ah om o mak ai.
30 (And you *Q(K)*) O devastated [one] what? are you doing that you are dressing scarlet that you ornament yourself ornament[s] of gold that you tear open with eye-paint eyes your for vanity you beautify yourself they have rejected you lovers life your they seek.
Nam ro naah timaw na sak han? Khukbuen kamling hoi nam thoek moe, sui hoi nam thoep cadoeh, mikhmai ah tasi angnok moe, nam thoep khing cadoeh, na kranghoihaih loe azom pui ni; na tlangainawk mah patoek ueloe, na hinghaih lak hanah pakrong o tih.
31 For a sound like a sick [woman] I have heard distress like a [woman] bearing a first child [the] sound of [the] daughter of Zion she is gasping for breath she is spreading out hands her woe! please to me for it is weary self my to murderers.
Nongpata mah nawk tapen naah qah ih lok, ca tapen tangsuek nathuem ih kana ahamhaih lok baktih toengah, Zion canu hanghaih lok to ka thaih; anih loe ban to payangh moe, Kai loe khosak bing boeh! Kami hum kaminawk pongah, tha ka zok sut boeh, tiah a hangh.
