Jeremiah 17
1 “The sin of Judah is written with an iron stylus having a diamond point. It is engraved on the tablet of their hearts and on the horns of your altars.
Judah zaehaih loe sum cacung, diamond thlung kamsum hoiah tarik pae boeh, na hmaicam takiinawk nuiah tarik ih baktiah nihcae palung thungah tarik pae boeh;
2 Even their children remember their altars and their Asherah poles that were beside the spreading trees and on the high hills.
a caanawk mah doeh maesom nui ih kahing thingnawk taengah, angmacae ih hmaicamnawk to suek o moe, thing hoi sak o cop ih krangnawk to bok o.
3 My mountain in the open country, and your wealth and all your treasures I will give away as plunder, together with your high places, because of the sin you committed in all your territories.
Aw kai ih mae, azawn ih hmuenmaenawk, na tawnh ih tacongnawk hoi na prae thungah zae sak haih hmuensangnawk boih to na misanawk ban ah ka paek han boeh.
4 You will lose the inheritance that I gave to you. I will enslave you to your enemies in a land that you do not know, for you have ignited a fire in my wrath, which will burn forever.”
Kang paek ih qawk to na pathlong ving tih boeh; kadueh thai ai palung ka phuihaih hmai baktiah angqong hanah na sak pongah, na panoek ai ih prae ah na misanawk ih misong ah kang suek han.
5 Yahweh says, “The person who trusts in mankind is accursed; he makes flesh his strength but turns his heart away from Yahweh.
Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Angraeng khae hoi poek amkhraeng ving moe, minawk oep lat kami, taksa thacakhaih oep kami loe kasae tongh kami ah oh.
6 For he will be like a small bush in the Arabah and will not see anything good coming. He will stay in the stony places in the wilderness, barren land without inhabitants.
Anih loe long karoem ahmuen ih thing kazaek baktiah oh, khosak hoihaih hnu mak ai; anih loe kami om ai paloi long hoi praezaek ahmuen ah khosah tih.
7 But the person who trusts in Yahweh is blessed, for Yahweh is his reason for confidence.
Toe Angraeng khaeah amha moe, anih oephaih tawn kami loe tahamhoih.
8 For he will be like a tree planted by water, its roots will spread out by the stream. It will not fear the heat when it comes, for its leaves are always green. It is not anxious in a year of drought, and it will not stop producing fruit.
Anih loe tui taengah thling moe, tuipui ah tangzun pakhrah, ni kana panoek ai, aqam kahing poe, khokha naah mawnhaih tawn ai, boeng ai ah kathai, thing baktiah om tih.
9 The heart is more deceitful than anything else. It is sick; who can understand it?
Palung loe hmuennawk boih thungah aling thaih koek ah oh; poekhaih doeh set parai, mi mah maw anih to panoek thai tih?
10 I am Yahweh, the one who searches through the mind, who tests the hearts. I give to each person according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.
Kai, Angraeng loe kami boih a caeh o haih loklam baktih, a sak o ih hmuen baktih toengah paek hanah, poekhaih to ka khet moe, palungthin to ni ka caek.
11 A partridge hatches an egg that she did not lay. Someone may become rich unjustly, but when half his days are over, those riches will abandon him, and in the end he will be a fool.”
Toenghaih loklam hoi na ai ah hmuenmae pakrong pongah, angraeng kami loe acaa khaek thai mak ai, angmah ih tadui awh ai tavaa baktiah ni oh; a hinghaih saning ahap phak naah, minawk mah caeh o taak tih, anih amthuhaih loe hnukkhuem ah amtueng tih.
12 “The place of our temple is a glorious throne, elevated from the beginning.
Tangsuek hoi kaom lensawk kasang angraeng tangkhang loe, kaicae ih hmuenciim ah oh.
13 Yahweh is the hope of Israel. All who abandon you will be put to shame; those in the land who turn away from you will be written in the earth, for they have forsaken Yahweh, the fountain of living waters.
Aw Angraeng, Israel caanawk oephaih, Nang pahnawt kaminawk boih loe azathaih tong o tih; ka thuih ih lok angqoi taak kaminawk loe hinghaih tuibap ah kaom, Angraeng to pahnawt o ving pongah, long ah ahmin tarik o tih.
14 Heal me, Yahweh, and I will be healed! Rescue me, and I will be rescued. For you are my song of praise.
Aw Angraeng, ka nathaih hae hoisak ah; to tih nahaeloe ngan ka tui tih boeh; na pahlong ah, to tih nahaeloe pahlong ah ka om tih, nang loe ka pakoehhaih ah na oh.
15 See, they are saying to me, 'Where is the word of Yahweh? Let it come!'
Khenah, nihcae mah kai khaeah, Angraeng ih lok loe naa ah maw oh? Vaihi akoep lai nasoe, tiah ang naa o.
16 As for me, I did not run from being a shepherd following you. I did not long for the day of disaster. You know the proclamations that came from my lips. They were made in your presence.
Kai loe nang hnuk ah kabang zaehoikung ah oh hanah kang aek ai; kai loe tahamsethaih ani koeh ai kami ah ka oh, tiah na panoek; ka pakha hoi tacawt lok loe na hmaa ah oh.
17 Do not be a terror to me. You are my refuge on the day of calamity.
Kai han zit koi hmuen ah om hmah; kam rohaih niah nang loe ka buephaih ah na oh.
18 May my pursuers be ashamed, but do not let me be ashamed. May they be dismayed, but do not let me be dismayed. Send the day of disaster against them and shatter them with a double share of destruction.”
Kai pacaekthlaek kaminawk loe azathaih tong o nasoe, toe kai loe azathaih na tongsak hmah; nihcae to zithaih hoiah koisak ah, toe kai loe ziisak hmah; nihcae nuiah amrohaih ani to phasak ah loe, nihcae to alet hnetto amrohaih phasak ah.
19 Yahweh said this to me: “Go and stand in the gate of the people where the kings of Judah enter and where they exit, then in all the other gates of Jerusalem.
Angraeng mah kai khaeah hae tiah thuih; Caeh ah loe, Judah siangpahrangnawk akunhaih hoi tacawthaih khongkha, nawktanawk ih khongkha hoi Jerusalem ih khongkhanawk boih ah angdoe ah,
20 Say to them, 'Hear the word of Yahweh, kings of Judah and all you people of Judah, and every resident of Jerusalem who comes in through these gates.
nihcae khaeah, Hae khongkha hoiah akun, Judah siangpahrangnawk, Judah kaminawk boih, Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk boih, Angraeng ih lok hae tahngai oh;
21 Yahweh says this: “Be careful for the sake of your lives and do not carry a burden on the Sabbath day to bring it to the gates of Jerusalem.
Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Sabbath niah kazit hmuen to phaw o hmah, Jerusalem khongkha thung hoiah kawbaktih hmuen doeh sin han ai ah, acoe oh:
22 Do not bring a load out from your house on the Sabbath day. Do not do any work, but set apart the Sabbath day, just as I commanded your ancestors to do.”'
Sabbath niah imthung hoi kazit hmuen to phaw o hmah, tok doeh sah o hmah, nam panawk khaeah ka thuih pae ih lok baktih toengah, Sabbath ni to kaciim ah zaa oh.
23 They did not listen or pay attention, but stiffened their neck so they would not hear me nor accept discipline.
Toe nihcae mah tahngai o ai, naa doeh patueng o ai; a thaih o han ai, thuitaekhaih lok talawk o han ai ah, tahnong to amtaak o sak.
24 It will happen that if you truly listen to me—this is Yahweh's declaration—and do not bring a load to the gates of this city on the Sabbath day but instead set apart the Sabbath day to Yahweh and not do any work on it,
Toe Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; ka lok hae na tahngaih o moe, Sabbath niah hae khongkhanawk hoiah kazit hmuen na sin o ai, toksah ai ah Sabbath ni to kaciim ah na zah o nahaeloe,
25 then kings, princes, and those who sit on David's throne will come to the gates of this city in chariots and with horses, they and their leaders, men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, and this city will be inhabited forever.
David ih angraeng tangkhang pongah anghnu, siangpahrang hoi siangpahrang capanawk, hrang lakok hoi hrang angthueng kaminawk, angmacae hoi angmacae ukkung angraengnawk, Judah kaminawk hoi Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk loe, hae khongkhanawk hoiah akun o tih, hae vangpui doeh dungzan khoek to cak poe tih.
26 They will come from the cities of Judah and from all around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin and the lowlands, from the mountains, and from the Negev, bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and frankincense, thank offerings to the house of Yahweh.
Judah avang, Jerusalem taeng ih avang, Benjamin prae ih avang, tangtling ah kaom avang, mae nui hoi aloih bang prae ah kaom kaminawk loe Angraeng ih im ah angzo o tih. Nihcae loe angbawnhaih congca, hmai angbawnhaih, moi angbawnhaih, hmuihoih angbawnhaih, pakoeh angbawnhaih to sin o tih.
27 But if you do not listen to me—to set apart the Sabbath day and to not carry heavy loads and to not enter the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day—then I will light a fire in its gates, and it will consume the fortresses of Jerusalem, and it cannot be put out.”
Toe Sabbath niah hmuen phawh moe, Jerusalem khongkha ah akun pacoengah, Sabbath ni to kaciim ah zah han oh; ka paek ih lok to tahngai ai nahaeloe, to ih khongkhanawk to hmai hoiah ka thlaek han, kadueh thai ai hmai mah Jerusalem angraeng ohhaih ahmuennawk to kang boih tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
