Jeremiah 20
1 Pashhur son of Immer the priest—he was a leading officer—heard Jeremiah prophesying these words before Yahweh's house.
Jeremiah kah a tonghma ol te BOEIPA im kah rhaengsang hlangtawt khosoih Immer capa Pashur loh a yaak.
2 So Pashhur beat Jeremiah the prophet and then placed him in the stocks that were at the Upper Gate of Benjamin in Yahweh's house.
Pashur loh Tonghma Jeremiah te a taam tih BOEIPA im sang kah Benjamin vongka ah hloong a khoh thil.
3 It happened on the next day that Pashhur brought Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, “Yahweh has not called your name Pashhur, but you are Magor Missabib.
A vuen a pha vaengah Pashur loh Jeremiah te hloong lamloh a hlah. Amah te Jeremiah loh, “BOEIPA loh nang ming he Pashur lam voel pawt tih Missabib lamkah Magor lat han sui coeng,” a ti nah.
4 For Yahweh says this, 'Look, I will make you an object of horror, you and all of your loved ones, for they will fall by the sword of their enemies and your eyes will see it. I will give all of Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon. He will make them captives in Babylon or attack them with the sword.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. Kai loh nang he namah ham neh na lungnah boeih ham khaw rhihnah la kang khueh he. A thunkha rhoek kah cunghang neh na mik loh a hmuh nawn ah cungku uh ni. Judah pum he Babylon manghai kut ah ka tloeng vetih amih te Babylon la a poelyoe ni. Te vaengah amih te cunghang neh a ngawn ni.
5 I will give him all the wealth of this city and all of its riches, all of its precious items and all the treasures of the kings of Judah. I will place these things in the hand of your enemies, and they will seize them. They will take them and bring them to Babylon.
He khopuei kah a khohrhang boeih neh a thaphu boeih, anih umponah boeih khaw ka paek pah ni. Judah manghai kah thakvoh boeih te a thunkha kut ah ka paek pah vetih a poelyoe pah ni. Amamih te a tuuk uh vetih Babylon la a khuen uh ni.
6 But you, Pashhur, and all the inhabitants of your house will go into captivity. You will go to Babylon and die there. You and all of your loved ones to whom you prophesied deceitful things will be buried there.'”
Pashur namah neh na imkhui kah khosa boeih te tamna la na cet ni. Babylon na pha vaengah pahoi na duek vetih namah te pahoi n'up ni. Amih na lungnah boeih taengah na tonghma te khaw a hong ni.
7 “Yahweh, you deceived me, and I was deceived. You are stronger than I, and you overpowered me. I have become a laughingstock all day long; everyone mocks me.
BOEIPA aw, kai nan laem vanbangla n'laem coeng. Kai lakah na tanglue tih nan na coeng. Hnin takuem nueihbu la ka om tih a cungkuem dongah kai he n'tamdaeng coeng.
8 For whenever I have spoken, I have called out and proclaimed, 'Violence and destruction.' Then Yahweh's word has become for me reproach and mocking every day.
Ka thui vawptawp van bangla kuthlahnah te ka doek tih rhoelrhanah khaw ka khue. Te dongah BOEIPA ol he kai taengah khohnin yungah kokhahnah ham neh soehsalnah ham ha thoeng.
9 If I say, 'I will not think about Yahweh anymore. I will not speak any longer in his name.' Then it is like a fire in my heart, held within my bones. So I struggle to contain it but I cannot.
Amah poek boel saeh lamtah a ming neh koep ka thui boel eh ka ti. Tedae ka lungbuei ah hmai aka tak bangla om tih Ka rhuh khuiah khaw a cueh. Te dongah coeng voel pawt tih cangbam ham ka ngak coeng.
10 I have heard rumors of terror from many people all around. 'Report! We must report it!' Those who are close to me watch to see if I will fall. 'Perhaps he can be tricked. If so, we can overpower him and take our revenge on him.'
theetnah khaw muep ka yaak tih kaepkvai ah rhihnah la puen uh. Ka ngaimongnah hlanghing boeih khaw a taengah puen uh sih ka cungdonah aka dawn rhoek loh n'laem khaming. Te daengah ni amah te n'na uh vetih mamih kah tawnlohnah khaw anih soah n'khueh eh.
11 But Yahweh is with me like a powerful warrior, so the ones pursuing me will stagger. They will not defeat me. They will be greatly ashamed, because they will not succeed. They will have unending shame, it will never be forgotten.
Tedae BOEIPA tah kai taengah hlanghaeng hlangrhalh la om coeng. Te dongah kai aka hloem rhoek te paloe uh vetih coeng uh mahpawh. A cangbam uh pawt dongah khak yak uh ni. Kumhal ah a mingthae te hnilh mahpawh.
12 But Yahweh of hosts, you examine the righteous and see the mind and the heart. Let me see your vengeance on them for I have committed my cause to you.
Aka dueng te aka loepdak tih kuel neh lungbuei aka hmu caempuei BOEIPA aw ka tuituknah he nang taengah kam phoe coeng dongah amih sokah na tawnlohnah te ka hmuh bitni.
13 Sing to Yahweh! Praise Yahweh! For he has rescued the lives of those who are oppressed from the hand of evildoers.
BOEIPA te hlai uh. Khodaeng kah hinglu he thaehuet kut lamloh a huul coeng dongah BOEIPA te thangthen uh.
14 Let the day when I was born be cursed. Do not let the day that my mother bore me be blessed.
Te khohnin ah ka om te thae a phoei coeng. A nu loh kai n'cun khohnin te yoethen om boel saeh.
15 Let the man who informed my father be cursed, the one who said, 'A male child has been born to you,' causing great joy.
A pa taengah a phong vaengah, “Camoe tongpa nang ham a sak te a kohoe hoe saeh,” aka ti hlang te khaw thaephoei thil.
16 Let that man be like the cities that Yahweh overthrew and he did not have compassion on them. Let him hear a cry for help in the dawn, a battle cry at noontime,
Tekah hlang te BOEIPA loh a palet khopuei bangla om saeh lamtah kohlawt boel saeh, mincang ah a pang neh khothun tue ah a tamlung khaw ya saeh.
17 because he did not kill me in the womb, making my mother to be my tomb, a womb that was pregnant forever.
Bung khuiah kai n'duek sak pawh. Te dongah a nu he kai taengah ka phuel la poeh tih a bung te kumhal duela vawn.
18 Why is it that I came out from the womb to see troubles and agony, so that my days are filled with shame?”
thakthaenah neh kothaenah hmuh ham he balae tih bung khui lamloh ka thoeng? Te dongah ka khohnin he yahpohnah nen nim a thok ve.
