Jeremiah 15
1 Then Yahweh said to me, “Even if Moses or Samuel were standing in front of me, I would still not be in favor of this people. Send them out from before me, for them to go away.
Hathnukkhu BAWIPA ni kai koevah, Mosi hoi Samuel teh ka hmalah ka ratoum roi nakunghai, hete taminaw koe lah ka lungthin kamlang pom mahoeh. Ka hmuhoehnae koe pâlei nateh koung kahmat naseh.
2 It will happen that they will say to you, 'Where should we go?' Then you must say to them, 'Yahweh says this: Those who are for death should go to death; those who are for the sword should go to the sword. Those who are for famine should go to famine; and those who are for captivity should go to captivity.'
Ahnimanaw ni vah, nâ lah maw ka cei awh han, tetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, due hanlah kaawmnaw teh a due awh han, tahloi hanlah kaawmnaw hah teh tahloi hoi a due awh han, kamlum hanlah kaawmnaw teh a kamlum awh han, santoung hanlah kaawmnaw teh san a toung awh han.
3 For I will assign them to four groups—this is Yahweh's declaration—the sword to slaughter some, the dogs to drag some away, the birds of the skies and the beast of the earth to consume and destroy some.
Hote taminaw ka raphoe nahanlah hno pali touh ka patoun han telah BAWIPA ni ati. Ka thet hanelah tahloi, tami ka kei hanelah uinaw, ka cat hanelah kalvan e tavanaw hoi talai dawk e moimathengnaw hah doeh.
4 I will make of them a horrifying thing to all the kingdoms of the earth, because of what Manasseh son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, did in Jerusalem.
Judah siangpahrang Hezekiah capa Manasseh ni Jerusalem vah hno a sak e dawkvah, ahnimouh teh talai uknaeramnaw pueng ni a tarawk awh nahanelah a sak han.
5 For who will have compassion for you, Jerusalem? Who will grieve for you?
Oe Jerusalem apinimaw nang hah na pahren han. Apinimaw nang lungmathoekhai han. Nang e kong pacei hanelah apinimaw cawp a kangdue han.
6 You have forsaken me—this is Yahweh's declaration—you have gone back from me. So I will strike you with my hand and destroy you. I am tired of having mercy on you.
Nangmouh ni kai hah na pahnawt awh, telah BAWIPA ni a dei, hnuklah na ban awh. Hatdawkvah, na lathueng vah ka kut ka tha vaiteh, nang hah na raphoe han, ka lunghnonae ka hmawt toe.
7 So I will winnow them with a pitchfork at the gates of the land. I will bereave them. I will destroy my people since they will not turn from their ways.
A lamthung dawk hoi a ban ngai awh hoeh dawkvah, ram kalupnae longkha koe ka pâsei vaiteh, a canaw hah ka thei pouh han.
8 I will make their widows number more than the sands of the seashore. Against the mothers of young men I will send the destroyer at noonday. I will make shock and horror suddenly fall on them.
Ahnimae lahmainaw hah tuipui teng e sadi patetlah kapap sak han. A manunaw kathetkung thoundounnaw hah kanîthun vah ka patoun han, dongdengca dawk ahnimouh van vah takitho lungpuennae hah ka pha sak han.
9 The mother who has borne seven children will waste away. She will gasp. Her sun will set while it is still day. She will be ashamed and embarrassed, for I will give those who remain to the sword in the presence of their enemies —this is Yahweh's declaration.”
Ca tongpa sari touh ka khe e a manu a thabaw teh a hringnae a thouk. Ahnie khosei teh khodai nah a loum, ahni teh yeirai hoi lungpout lah ao. A tarannaw hmalah kahloutnaw teh kai ni tahloi hoi ka thei han, telah BAWIPA ni ati.
10 Woe to me, my mother! For you have borne me, I who am a man of controversy and argument through all the land. I have not lent, nor has anyone lent to me, but they all curse me.
Oe anu, ka yaw a thoe! talai van pueng kâyue e hoi kâtapoe hanelah vai kai heh na khe khe! Api koehai a ca hane lahoi laiba ka tawn hoeh, ayâ ni hai kai koe laiba tawn hoeh ei, tami pueng ni lawkthoeumkha na bap awh.
11 Yahweh said: “Will I not rescue you for good? I will certainly make your enemies beg for help in the time of calamity and distress.
BAWIPA ni vah, atangcalah nang hah na hlout sak han. Runae tueng nah, rektapnae tueng nah, na tarannaw hah nang koevah, pahrennae ka kâhei sak han.
12 Can one smash iron? Especially iron from the north that is mixed with bronze?
Sum ni atunglae sum hoi stil a khoe thai han na maw.
13 I will give to your enemies your wealth and treasures as free plunder. I will do this because of all your sins committed within all your borders.
Na ram thung pueng vah yonnae na sak e dawkvah, na bawinae hoi na tawnta e pueng aphu laipalah na lawp e patetlah ahnimae kut dawk ka poe han.
14 Then I will make you serve your enemies in a land that you do not know, for a fire will ignite, kindled in my wrath against you.”
Na panue hoeh e ram koe na tarannaw koevah san lah na ta han. Ka lungkhuek dawk nangmouh lathueng patawi hane hmai teh a kamtawi toe.
15 Yahweh, you know! Remember me and help me. Bring vengeance for me against those who persecute me. You are patient, but do not allow them to take me away; know that I suffer reproach for your sake.
Oe! BAWIPA nang ni na panue. Kai hah pou na pouk teh, na pai sin hanelah na tho toteh, na karektapnaw kalan lah lawkceng haw. Ahnimanaw he na panguep teh kai na thet hanh loe. Kai ni nang hanlah dudamnae ka khang e heh na pahnim pouh hanh.
16 Your words have been found, and I consumed them. Your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart, for I bear your name, Yahweh, God of hosts.
Na lawknaw hah a kamnue teh, ka ca! na lawk teh kai hanlah lunghawinae hoi lungthin phunepnae lah ao. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Oe ransahu BAWIPA na min lahoi na kaw e lah ka o.
17 I did not sit in the circle of those who celebrated or rejoiced. I sat in solitude because of your powerful hand, for you filled me with indignation.
Pawito kamkhuengnaw koevah, ka tahung hoeh, ahnimouh hoi lunghawinae ka hmawng boihoeh, na kut ka van ao dawkvah kamadueng ka tahung, bangkongtetpawiteh, lunghawihoehnae hoi na kawi sak.
18 Why is my pain ongoing and my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? Will you be like deceitful waters to me, waters that dry up?
Bangkongmaw ka patawnae heh ahawi thai hoeh, ka hmâ heh hawi han ka ngaihoeh e patetlah hawi thai hoeh bo vaw, Kai hanlah kâuep han kamcuhoeh e tui tang ka hak e patetlah maw ao vaiyoe.
19 Therefore Yahweh said this, “If you repent, Jeremiah, then I will restore you, and you will stand before me and serve me. For if you separate the foolish things from the precious things, you will be like my mouth. The people will come back to you, but you yourself must not go back to them.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, bout na ban pawiteh, na bankhai vaiteh, ka hmalah bout na kangdue han. Cungkeihoehe thung hoi sungren e hno dueng na dei pawiteh, kaie lawk karingkung lah ao han. Ahnimouh ni nang koe lah kamlang boilah, nang teh ahnimouh koe lah na kamlang mahoeh.
20 I will make you like an impenetrable bronze wall to this people, and they will wage war against you. But they will not defeat you, for I am with you to save and rescue you—this is Yahweh's declaration—
Hete taminaw thung vah rahum tapang na sak han, ahni ni nang hah na tuk awh han eiteh, nang rungngang hanelah, na teng ka o dawkvah, ahnimouh ni nang na tâ awh mahoeh, telah BAWIPA ni ati.
21 for I will rescue you from the hand of the wicked and redeem you from the hand of the tyrant.”
Tamikathoutnaw kut dawk hoi na rungngang vaiteh, takitho e taminaw e kut dawk hoi nang teh na ratang han.
