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.
Israel aw na mael mak atah BOEIPA kah olphong om coeng, kamah taengla na mael mako. Namah dongkah sarhingkoi te ka mikhmuh lamkah na nong tak atah na rhaehba mahpawh.
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.
Hingnah BOEIPA taengah oltak neh, tiktamnah neh, duengnah neh toemngam saeh. Amah dongah namtom rhoek a yoethen uh vetih amah ming neh a thangthen uh ni.
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.
He he BOEIPA loh Judah hlang neh Jerusalem taengah a thui. Namamih kah khohai te yawt uh laeh, hling puem ah tawn boeh.
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.
Judah hlang neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek aw BOEIPA taengah rhet uh lamtah na thinko hmuicue te hlap uh laeh. Ka kosi he hmai bangla puek vetih dom tarha ve. Na khoboe thaenah dongah aka thih om mahpawh.
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 ah puen pah lamtah Jerusalem ah yaak sakuh. Kho tom ah tuki te ueng, ueng lamtah thui pah. A baetawt la khue lamtah, “Coi uh thae laeh, khopuei hmuencak te paan uh sih,” tiuh.
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 benah rholik thoh laeh, bakuep uh laeh, uelh uh boeh. Kai loh tlangpuei lamkah yoethaenah neh pocinah tanglue te kang khuen.
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.
Sathueng te a puep lamkah ha thoeng. Namtom rhoek aka phae khaw hlah uh coeng. Na khohmuen neh na khopuei rhoek te imsuep la khueh ham a hmuen lamkah coe coeng tih khosa om kolla a hnueih uh ni.
8 On this gird yourself sackcloth mourn and wail for not it has turned back [the] burning of [the] anger of Yahweh from us.
Te dongah tlamhni bai uh laeh, rhaengsae uh lamtah rhung uh laeh. BOEIPA kah thintoek thinsa tah mamih lamloh a mael moenih.
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.
BOEIPA kah olphong te a khohnin ah om ni. Manghai kah lungbuei neh mangpa rhoek kah lungbuei khaw moelh ni. Khosoih rhoek te pong uh vetih tonghma rhoek khaw a ngaihmang uh ni.
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.
Te vaengah, “Ya-oe, ka Boeipa Yahovah aih, he kah pilnam neh Jerusalem taengah na rhaithi la rhep na rhaithi coeng. 'Nangmih taengah ngaimongnah om ni, ' na ti vaengah cunghang loh ka hinglu a ben,” ka ti nah.
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.
Te khohnin ah tah he pilnam taeng neh Jerusalem taengah thui pah. Caphoei cuk kah hli hueng loh khosoek kah ka pilnam nu longpuei a hooi uh te aka rhuek ham pawt tih aka hlaai ham moenih.
12 A wind [too] full for these [things] it will come for me now also I I will speak judgments with them.
Te lakah aka tlung khohli te kai lamloh ha pawk coeng. Kai khaw amih taengah laitloeknah ka thui.
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.
A caeh khaw cingmai bangla, a leng khaw cangpalam bangla ke. Aunae Mamih aka rhoelrhak ham kah a marhang rhoek mahatha rhoek lakah tahoeng ke.
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.
Jerusalem, na lungbuei boethae lakah te sil uh laeh. Te daengah ni n'khang pueng eh. Me hil nim na ko khuikah na boethae kopoek dongah na rhaehba ve.
15 For a voice [is] declaring from Dan and [is] proclaiming trouble from [the] hill country of Ephraim.
Ol ngawn tah Dan lamloh ha puen coeng tih omthae omlang khaw Ephraim tlang lamloh n'yaak coeng.
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.
Namtom rhoek te thoelh sakuh. khohla bangsang kho lamkah aka pawk rhoek loh a dum uh te Jerusalem taengah yaak sak ne. A ol neh Judah khopuei rhoek a huttet uh.
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.
Kai n'koek coeng dongah kaepvai lamloh khohmuen aka hung bangla a om thil uh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
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 khosing neh na khoboe loh namah soah han saii. Na boethae loh na lungbuei te hlut a toeh tangkik coeng.
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.
Kai bung, kai ko aih, aka vawn bangla ka lungbuei hop ah ka lamtawn coeng. Ka lungbuei loh ka khuiah hue a sak. Tuki ol ah ka omlip pawh. Aw ka hinglu caemtloek kah tamlung te na yaak rhoe na yaak coeng.
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.
Pocinah soah pocinah loh a khue tih khohmuen boeih te buengrhuet a rhoelrhak coeng. Ka dap neh ka himbaiyan khaw mikhaptok ni a rhoelrhak uh.
21 Until when? will I see a standard will I hear [the] sound of a trumpet.
Me hil nim rholik ka hmuh vetih tuki ol te ka yaak eh.
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.
Ka pilnam kah a ang dongah kai m'ming uh pawh. Amih lunghmang camoe loh amamih nawn khaw yakming uh thae pawh. Amih te thaehuet ham tah cueih uh dae a then ham tah ming uh pawh.
23 I looked at the earth and there! [it was] formlessness and emptiness and to the heavens and there not [was] light their.
Diklai he ka hmuh vaengah hinghong la hoeng coeng ke. Vaan ah khaw a vangnah om pawh.
24 I looked at the mountains and there! [they were] quaking and all the hills they shook to and fro.
Tlang rhoek te ka hmuh vaengah hinghuen uh tih som rhoek khaw boeih ngooi coeng ke.
25 I looked and there! there not [was] humankind and every bird of the heavens they had fled.
Ka hmuh vaengah hlang om pawt tih vaan kah vaa khaw boeih poeng uh coeng ke.
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 hmuh vaengah cangphil cangngol te khosoek la poeh coeng ke. A khopuei boeih te BOEIPA mikhmuh neh amah kah thintoek thinsa hmai ah palet uh coeng.
27 For thus he says Yahweh a desolation it will be all the earth and complete destruction not I will make.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “Diklai pum he khopong la om ni. Tedae a boeihnah hil ka saii mahpawh.
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.
Te dongah diklai he nguekcoi vetih vaan khaw a so ah kopang uh ni. Ka mangtaeng tih ka thui coeng dongah damti kolla anih ka mael tak mahpawh.
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.
marhang caem neh lii phuk ol ah khopuei khaw boeih yong coeng. Khomai khuila ael uh tih thaelsawk dongah yoeng uh. Khopuei te boeih a hnoo uh tih a khuikah khosa pakhat khaw om pawh.
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.
Nang ngawn tah, nang ngawn tah n'rhoelrhak coeng. A lingdik na bai tih, sui cangen na oi khaw, na mik ah mikdum neh na phen te banim na saii. Na sawtthen khaw a poeyoek la, nang te na pumben rhoek loh n'hnawt uh tih na hinglu a toem uh.
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.
Ol pakhat te satloh bangla ka yaak. Zion nu kah ol camueng bangla citcai a yaak. A kut a phuel tih sa-oe sut. Anunae kai aih he hlang aka ngawn rhoek taengah ka hinglu loh lamlum sut.
