Jeremiah 31
1 “At that time—this is Yahweh's declaration—I will be the God of all the clans of Israel, and they will be my people.”
To naah loe Israel imthung takoh boih ih Sithaw ah ka oh han, nihcae loe kai ih kami ah om o tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
2 Yahweh says this, “The people who have survived the sword have found favor in the wilderness; I will go out to give rest to Israel.”
Angraeng mah, sumsen hoi loih anghmat kaminawk loe praezaek ah tahmenhaih hnu o ueloe, Israel doeh anghakhaih ka paek han boeh, tiah thuih.
3 Yahweh appeared to me in the past and said, “I have loved you, Israel, with everlasting love. So I have drawn you toward myself with covenant faithfulness.
Canghnii ah aicae khae amtueng Sithaw mah, Ue, nang loe dungzan amlunghaih hoiah kang palung; to pongah tahmenhaih hoiah kang khetzawn.
4 I will build you up again so you will be built, virgin Israel. You will again pick up your tambourines and go out with happy dances.
Aw tangla cuem, Israel, nang hae kang sak let han, nang loe sak let ah om tih; satuem to na la ueloe, anghoe kaminawk hoi hnawh hanah na caeh tih.
5 You will plant vineyards again on the mountains of Samaria; the farmers will plant and put the fruit to good use.
Samaria maenawk nuiah misurkung to na thling tih; takha sah kaminawk mah thling o ueloe, athainawk to caa o tih.
6 For a day will come when the watchmen in the mountains of Ephraim will proclaim, 'Arise, let us go up to Zion to Yahweh our God.'
Ephraim mae nuiah misatoep kaminawk mah, Angthawk oh, Zion ah, aicae Angraeng Sithaw khaeah caeh o tahang si, tiah hanghaih ni to om tih.
7 For Yahweh says this, “Shout for joy over Jacob! Shout in gladness for the chief people of the nations! Let praise be heard. Say, 'Yahweh has rescued his people, the remnant of Israel.'
Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Jakob hanah anghoehaih laa to sah oh, kalen koek acaengnawk salakah hang oh; Aw Angraeng, nangmah ih kami, kanghmat Israel caanawk loe pahlong boeh, tiah saphaw oh loe, tamthang to thui oh.
8 See, I am about to bring them from the northern lands. I will gather them from the farthest parts of the earth. The blind and lame will be among them; pregnant women and those who are about to give birth will be with them. A great assembly will return here.
Khenah, nihcae to aluek bang prae hoiah kang hoih moe, long boenghaih hoiah kang pakhueng han; nihcae hoi nawnto pop parai kaminawk, mikmaeng, khokkhaem, zokpom nongpata hoi nawkta tapen tom nongpatanawk to amlaem o let tih.
9 They will come weeping; I will lead them as they make their pleas. I will have them journey to streams of water on a straight road. They will not stumble on it, for I will be a father to Israel, and Ephraim will be my firstborn.”
Nihcae loe qahhaih, lawkthuihaih hoiah angzo o tih; nihcae amthaek han ai ah, vapui taeng ih katoeng loklam ah ka hoih han; kai loe Israel ih ampa ah ka oh, Ephraim loe ka calu ah oh.
10 “Hear the word of Yahweh, nations. Report along the coasts in the distance. You nations must say, 'The one who scattered Israel is gathering her up and keeping her as a shepherd keeps his sheep.'
Aw prae kaminawk boih, Angraeng ih lok hae tahngai oh, Israel haekkung mah anih to pakhueng let tih, tuutoep kami mah a tuunawk to toep baktih toengah, anih to toep tih, tiah tuipui thungah kaom praenawk khae khoek to thui oh.
11 For Yahweh has ransomed Jacob and has redeemed him from the hand that was too strong for him.
Angraeng mah Jakob to pahlong moe, nihcae pongah thacak kue kami ih ban thung hoiah nihcae to akrang let.
12 Then they will come and rejoice on the heights of Zion. Their faces will shine because of Yahweh's goodness, over the corn and the new wine, over the oil and the offspring of the flocks and herds. For their lives will become like a watered garden, and they will never again feel any more sorrow.
To pongah nihcae angzo o ueloe, Zion maesang ah laa to sah o tih; Angraeng hoihaih rang hoiah cang, misurthaih, situi, tuucaanawk hoi maitaw caanawk to hnu o tih; nihcae hinghaih loe tui bawh ih takha baktiah om o ueloe, natuek naah doeh palungsae o let mak ai boeh.
13 Then virgins will rejoice with dancing, and young and old men will be together. For I will change their mourning into celebration. I will have compassion on them and cause them to rejoice instead of sorrowing.
To naah tangla cuem loe anghoe hoi hnawh ueloe, thendoengnawk hoi mitongnawk doeh nawnto hnawh o tih; nihcae qahhaih to anghoehaih ah ka paqoi pae han, nihcae to ka pathloep moe, palungsethaih to anghoehaih ah ka sak han.
14 Then I will saturate the lives of the priests in abundance. My people will fill themselves with my goodness—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
Qaimanawk to zok kam hahsak han; kaimah ih kaminawk doeh ka hoihhaih hoiah koi o tih boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
15 Yahweh says this: “A voice is heard in Ramah, wailing and bitter weeping. It is Rachel weeping for her children. She refuses to be comforted over them, for they live no longer.”
Angraeng mah, qahhaih lok hoi oihaih lok loe Ramah hoiah angthaih; a caanawk om ai pongah, Rachel mah a caanawk to qah haih, pathloep thai ai boeh, tiah thuih.
16 Yahweh says this, “Hold your voice back from weeping and your eyes from tears; there is a reward for your work—this is Yahweh's declaration—your children will return from the land of the enemy.
Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Na qahhaih lok to angsum ah loe, na mikkhraetui to phuisak lai ah; na toksakhaih atho na hnu tih boeh hmang, tiah Angraeng mah thuih; nihcae loe misa ohhaih prae thung hoiah amlaem o let tih.
17 There is hope for your future—this is Yahweh's declaration—your descendants will return inside their borders.”
To pongah boenghaih ah nang han oephaih oh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih; na caanawk loe angmacae prae ah amlaem o let tih.
18 “I have certainly heard Ephraim sorrowing, 'You punished me, and I have been punished like an untrained calf. Bring me back and I will be brought back, for you are Yahweh my God.
Ephraim mah, kai hae nang thuitaek boeh, qui hoi pathlet thai ai ih maitaw kasan baktiah nang thuitaek boeh; na pathawk let ah, to tiah nahaeloe kam laem let han; nang loe ka Angraeng Sithaw ah na oh, tiah hang ih lok to ka thaih het boeh.
19 For after I turned back to you, I was sorry; after I was trained, I slapped my thigh. I was ashamed and humiliated, for I have borne the guilt of my youth.'
Kam laem pacoengah ka dawnpakhuem boeh; ang thuitaek pacoengah, kaimah ih phaih to ka tumh; thendoeng ah ka oh nathuem ih ahmin sethaih to ka phawh pongah, azathaih hoiah ka oh, ue, anghmanghaih hoiah ka oh.
20 Is not Ephraim my precious child? Is he not my dear, delightful son? For whenever I speak against him, I certainly still call him to my loving mind. In this way my heart longs for him. I will certainly have compassion on him—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
Ephraim loe ka palung ih ka capa na ai maw? Anih loe koeh koi kaom nawkta ah na ai maw oh? Anih misa haih lok to ka thuih, toe anih to vaihi khoek to ka pahnet ai vop; to pongah anih to ka poek khing, a nuiah tahmenhaih ka suek tangtang han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
21 Place road signs for yourself. Set up guideposts for yourself. Set your mind on the right path, the way you should take. Come back, virgin Israel! Come back to these cities of yours.
Lam angmathaih to sah oh loe, loklam ah amtuenghaih to thling ah; na caehhaih loklam bangah palung to suem ah; Aw Israel, tangla cuem, amlaem let ah, nangmah ih vangpuinawk ah amlaem ah.
22 How long will you waver, faithless daughter? For Yahweh has created something new on earth—a woman surrounds a strong man.
Loklam amkhraeng canu, nasetto maw nam het khing han vop? Angraeng mah long nuiah hmuen kangtha to sak boeh, nongpata mah nongpa to takui tih.
23 Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, says this, “When I bring back the people to their land, they will say this in the land of Judah and its cities, 'May Yahweh bless you, you righteous place where he lives, you holy mountain.'
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah, misong ah ohhaih prae thung hoiah nihcae to kam laem haih let naah loe, Aw toenghaih kaom ahmuen, kaciim mae, Angraeng mah tahamhoihaih ang paek, tiah Judah prae hoi vangpuinawk thungah kaom kaminawk mah hae lok hae patoh o let tih boeh.
24 For Judah and all its cities will live together there, as will farmers and those who set out with flocks.
Judah prae ah kaom kaminawk hoi vangpui thungah kaom kaminawk loe to ahmuen ah laikok atok kaminawk, tuutoep kaminawk hoi nawnto om o tih.
25 For I will cause those who are weary to drink, and I fill up those who are faint.”
Thazok kaminawk to ka pacah han; palungsae kaminawk palungsethaih to ka dipsak let han, tiah a thuih.
26 After this I awoke, and I realized that my sleep had been refreshing.
Hae pongah kang lawt moe, ka khet naah, iih ka boep.
27 “Look, the days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when I will sow the houses of Israel and Judah with the descendants of man and beast.
Khenah, Israel hoi Judah imthung takoh ah kami atii hoi moi kasan ih atii ka haehhaih atue to pha tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
28 In the past, I kept them under surveillance in order to uproot them and to tear them down, to overthrow, destroy, and bring them harm. But in the coming days, I will watch over them, in order to build them up and to plant them—this is Yahweh's declaration.
Nihcae to aphong ving moe, phraek hanah, vah ving moe, paro hanah, ka khet baktih toengah, nihcae to ka bomh han, nihcae to ka patit moe, ka khetzawn han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
29 In those days no one will say any longer, 'Fathers have eaten sour grapes, but the children's teeth are dulled.'
To na niah loe kaminawk mah, Kam panawk mah misurtui kathaw to caak o pongah, a caanawk loe haa kin o, tiah thui o mak ai boeh.
30 For each man will die in his own iniquity; everyone who eats sour grapes, his teeth will be dulled.
Toe kami boih angmah sakpazaehaih pongah ni dueh o tih; misurtui kathaw caa kami loe, angmah ih haa ni kin tih boeh.
31 Look, the days are coming —this is Yahweh's declaration— when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah.
Khenah, Angraeng mah, Israel imthung takoh, Judah imthung takoh hoi ka sak ih kangtha lokmaihaih atue to pha tih;
32 It will not be like the covenant that I established with their fathers in the days when I took them by their hand to bring them out from the land of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, although I was a husband for them. —this is Yahweh's declaration.
hae kaminawk ih ampanawk Izip prae thung hoiah ka zaeh naah, nihcae hoi ka sak ih lokmaihaih baktiah om mak ai; kai loe nihcae ih sava ah ka oh, toe nihcae loe ka lokmaihaih to phraek o, tiah Angraeng mah thuih;
33 This is the covenant that I will establish with the house of Israel after these days —this is Yahweh's declaration. I will place my law within them and will write it on their heart, for I will be their God, and they will be my people.
to pacoengah Israel imthung takoh hoi ka sak han ih lokmaihaih loe hae tiah om tih, Kai ih kaalok to nihcae palung thungah ka suek moe, nihcae ih palung thungah ka tarik pae han; kai loe nihcae ih Sithaw ah ka oh han, nihcae doeh kai ih kami ah om o tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
34 Then each man will no longer teach his neighbor, or a man teach his brother and say, 'Know Yahweh!' For all of them will know me, from the smallest of them to the greatest —this is Yahweh's declaration— for I will forgive their iniquity and will no longer call their sins to mind.”
Nihcae mah, Angraeng to panoek o khae, tiah mi mah doeh a imtaeng kami hoi nawkamyanawk to patuk o mak ai boeh; kathoeng koek hoi kalen koek karoek to kami boih mah Kai to panoek o tih boeh; nihcae sakpazaehaih to ka pakuem mak ai, ka tahmen pae han boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
35 Yahweh says this, it is he who makes the sun to shine by day and fixes the moon and stars to shine by night. He is the one who sets the sea in motion so that its waves roar— Yahweh of hosts is his name.
Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, tiah ahmin kaom Angraeng mah, Khodai aangsak hanah ni, khoving aangsak hanah khrah hoi cakaehnawk, tuiphu angthawk hanah tuipui to ka paek, tiah thuih.
36 “Only if these permanent things vanish from my sight—this is Yahweh's declaration— will Israel's descendants ever stop from forever being a nation before me.”
To hmuen sakhaih dan loe natuek naah doeh ka hmaa hoi anghma ving mak ai, Israel caanawk loe ka hmaa hoi dungzan ah anghmaa zuep acaeng ah om o mak ai, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
37 Yahweh says this, “Only if the highest heavens can be measured, and only if the earth's foundation below can be discovered, will I reject all of Israel's descendants because of all that they have done—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Van ranui ho na tah thai maw? Long angdoethaih ahmuen nasetto maw thuk, tiah na panoek thai maw? To hmuennawk panoek han rai parai baktih toengah Israel caanawk mah zaehaih sah o cadoeh, nihcae ka pahnawt sut hanah rai parai, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
38 “Look, the days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when the city will be rebuilt for me, from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.
Khenah, Hananel imsang hoi angtaeng koekah kaom khongkha khoek to, Angraeng hanah vangpui to sah o tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
39 Then the measuring line will go out again farther, to the hill of Gareb and around Goah.
To ahmuen hoiah tahhaih qui to Gareb mae khoek to payuengh o ueloe, Goah ah caeh o haih tih.
40 The whole valley of the dead bodies and the ashes, and all the terraced fields going out to the Kidron Valley as far as the corner of the Horse Gate on the east, will be set apart for Yahweh. The city will not be pulled up or overthrown again, forever.”
Kadueh qok hoi maiphunawk vahhaih azawn, ni angyae bangah Kidron vacong taeng ih tangtling ahmuennawk boih hoi hrang khongkha ohhaih khoek to, Angraeng han hmuenciim ah om tih; vangpui loe natuek naah doeh aphong mak ai, phrae doeh phrae mak ai boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
