< Jeremiah 30 >

1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Jeremiah khaeah angzo Angraeng ih lok loe,
2 “[I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [say they belong to], am telling you that you should write down everything that I have said to you.
Angraeng Israel Sithaw mah, Kang thuih ih loknawk boih cabu thungah tarik hanah, ang thuih.
3 [I want you to know that] some day I will free my people, [the people of] Israel and Judah, from being slaves [in Babylon]. I will bring them back to this land that I gave to their ancestors, and this land will belong to them again. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
Khenah, kaimah ih kami Israel hoi Judah to misong angtanghaih thung hoiah ka hoih lethaih atue to pha tih; nihcae to ampanawk khaeah ka paek ih prae ah kam laemsak let han, nihcae mah to prae to toep o tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
4 Yahweh gave [to me] another message concerning [the people of] Israel and Judah.
Israel hoi Judah kawng pongah Angraeng mah hae tiah lokthuih.
5 This is what he said: “I hear people screaming because they are terrified [DOU]; there is no peace [in the land].
Angraeng mah, Tasoeh takuenhaih hoi zithaih lok to ka thaih; monghaih om ai, tiah thuih.
6 But think about this: Men certainly do not [RHQ] give birth to babies. Therefore, why do strong men stand there, with their faces very white/pale, with their hands pressed against their stomachs, like women who are about to give birth to babies?
Nongpa loe caa tapen vai maw? Dueng o noek ah! Khenah, tipongah nihcae loe nongpata ca tapen tom nathuem ih baktiah, kaeng nuiah ban to koeng o moe, athii om ai baktiah mikhmai anglung o rawk loe?
7 [Terrible things will soon happen]; that will be a terrible day! There has never been such a time. It will be a time when [my] Israeli people will experience great trouble, but [finally] they will be saved [from their sufferings].”
To ani loe kawkruk maw len tih! Tih hoiah doeh patah thai mak ai; to atue loe Jakob raihaih atue ah oh; toe anih loe to raihaih thung hoi pahlong ah om tih.
8 The Commander of the armies of angels says this: “At that time [it will be as though] I will sever/cut the ropes [that are around my people], and I will free them from being (slaves/forced to do what the King of Babylon wants them to do) [MET]. People in other countries will no longer be their bosses.
To niah loe na tahnong ih hnam to kang khaeh pae moe, ang pathlethaih sumquinawk doeh ka taprawt pae boih han; kalah prae kaminawk mah nihcae to natuek naah doeh misong ah patoh o mak ai boeh.
9 My people will [again] serve me, Yahweh, their God, and [they will serve a king who is a descendant of] King David; [they will serve the king] whom I will appoint for them.
Toe nihcae loe angmacae Angraeng Sithaw ih tok, nihcae ka paek han ih angmacae siangpahrang David ih tok to sah pae o tih.
10 So, [you people of] Israel who serve me, do not be dismayed/worried [now], because [some day] I will bring you back from distant places; I will bring your descendants [back home] from the land to which they were exiled. [Then you] Israeli people will [again] live peacefully and safely, and there will not be any [nation] that will cause you to be terrified.
To pongah ka tamna, Aw Jakob, zii hmah; Aw Israel, tasoeh hmah, tiah Angraeng mah thuih; khenah, angthla parai prae, na caanawk misong ah oh o haih prae hoiah kang pahlong o han hmang; Jakob loe amlaem let ueloe, mawnhaih tawn ai, kamongah om tih, mi mah doeh pazih mak ai boeh.
11 I, Yahweh, say that I will be with you and will rescue you; I will completely destroy the nations to which I have scattered you. But I will not completely destroy you. I will punish you [for your many sins], but I will punish you [only] as severely as you deserve: I would be doing wrong if I did not punish you at all.”
Nang to pahlong hanah nang hoi nawnto ka oh; nangcae kam hetsakhaih prae kaminawk to kang hmatsak boih boeh, toe nangcae loe kang hmaasak mak ai; toe nangcae loe thuitaek angaihaih baktiah kang thuitaek o han, thuitaek ai ah kang prawt o sut mak ai, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
12 Yahweh [also] says this: “[You have (suffered very much/endured many disasters)]; [it is as though] you have a terrible wound that cannot be cured.
Angraeng mah, Na hmaa loe hoih thai ai, na hmaa loe nung parai, tiah thuih.
13 There is no one to help you, no one to put a bandage on your wound. There is no [medicine that will] heal you.
Na hmaa to hoih thai hanah, hnikung mi doeh om ai; na hoihhaih tasi om ai.
14 All your allies [MET] have deserted you and they do not want to help you [any more]. [It is true that] I have punished you severely, [like your] enemies would wound you, because you have committed many sins and you are very guilty.
Nam puinawk mah, ang pahnet o boih boeh; tidoeh na poek o ai boeh; na zaehaih loe pop hmoek moe, na sakpazaehaih len hmoek boeh pongah, misa mah boh baktiah kang boh; kami kasae thuitaek baktiah kang thuitaek.
15 [Because that is true], why do you protest about my punishing you, [as though I had caused] a wound that could not be cured [RHQ]? It was necessary for me to punish you, because you had committed many sins and you were very guilty.
Tipongah kana ahmaa pongah na qah loe? Na sakpazaehaih to len hmoek moe, na zaehaih pop hmoek pongah, hae hmuennawk hae na nuiah ka sak.
16 But [some day] all those who [are trying to] destroy you will be destroyed; all your enemies will be exiled [to other nations]. All those who have stolen things from you will have their [valuable] possessions stolen, and all those who attack you will be attacked.
Toe nang paaeh kaminawk loe paaeh ah om toeng tih; na misanawk loe misong ah laem o boih tih; nang naeh kaminawk loe naeh ah om toeng ueloe, nang amrosak kaminawk doeh amrosak toeng tih.
17 [Everyone] says that you are (outcasts/people that they no longer associate with), and that [you live in] Jerusalem, a city that no one cares about.” But Yahweh says, “I will heal your injuries/wounds and cause you to be healthy again.”
Minawk mah, Vah sut ih kami, mi mah doeh khetzawn ai ih Zion, tiah thui o cadoeh, ngan kang tui o sak moe, na hmaanawk kang hoisak let han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
18 This is what Yahweh says: “I will bring the people of Israel back from the lands to which they were taken and enable them to possess their land and their houses again. [When that happens], Jerusalem will be rebuilt on top of its ruins, and the [king’s] palace will be rebuilt to be like it was before.
Angraeng mah, Khenah, misong ah kalaem Jakob ih kahni imnawk to ka zaeh let moe, a ohhaih ahmuen nuiah tahmenhaih ka tawnh let han; vangpui doeh amrohaih ahmuen hoiah sak let ah om ueloe, siangpahrang im doeh angmah ih ahmuen ah angdoe let tih, tiah thuih.
19 People will [again] sing joyfully to thank [me], and I will cause there to be more people [in Jerusalem], not fewer; I will cause them to be honored, not despised.
Nihcae khae hoiah kawnhaih laa lok hoi anghoehaih laa loknawk to angzo tih; nihcae loe tamsi mak ai, kang pungsak han; patoekhaih om mak ai, pakoehhaih ah ka phaksak han.
20 Their children will [prosper] like they did before. I will cause them to be a group of people [who worship] me, and I will punish any [nation] that oppresses them.
A caanawk doeh canghnii ih baktiah om o tih, kaminawk to ka hmaa ah ka caksak moe, nihcae pacaekthlaek kaminawk to ka thuitaek han.
21 One of their own people will be their king, and I will invite him to come close to me [to worship me], because no one [RHQ] would (dare/have courage) to come close to me [if I did not invite him].
Angmacae acaeng thung ih kami to nihcae zaehoikung ah om tih, nihcae ukkungnawk doeh angmacae thung ih kami ah ni om tih; anih han ka taengah anghnai ah, tiah ka thuih naah, ka taengah anghnai tih; mi mah maw angmah koeh ah kai khaeah anghnai vaih? tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
22 You [Israeli people] will be my people, and I will be your God.”
To pongah nangcae loe kai ih kami ah na om o tih, kai doeh nangcae ih Sithaw ah ka oh han.
23 Yahweh will punish [MTY] [your enemies]; [it will be like a great] storm; it will come down [like] a whirlwind, swirling around the heads of wicked people.
Khenah, Angraeng ih takhi kamhae loe palungphuihaih hoiah song, takhi loe ham parai, kasae kaminawk ih lu nuiah tha hoiah song tih.
24 He will not stop being angry until he completely accomplishes [all] that he has planned. In the future, you will understand [all] of this [clearly].
Palung thungah ka poek ih sak han koi hmuen to ka sak han, koep ai karoek to Angraeng palungphuihaih to azuk let mak ai; hmabangah hae baktih hmuennawk hae na panoek o tih.
