Jeremiah 6
1 Find safety, people of Benjamin, by leaving Jerusalem. Blow a trumpet in Tekoa. Raise up over Beth Hakkerem a signal, since wickedness is appearing from the north; a great crushing is coming.
Jerusalem khui lamkah Benjamin ca rhoek bakuep uh. Tekoa ah tuki ueng uh lamtah Bethhakkerem ah cangpaiso tong saeh. Yoethaenah neh pocinah tanglue te tlangpuei lamkah ha moe coeng.
2 The daughter of Zion, the beautiful and delicate woman, will be destroyed.
Rhoeprhui neh a pang aka dok Zion nu khaw ka hmata sak ni.
3 The shepherds and their flocks will go to them; they will set up tents against her all around; each man will shepherd with his own hand.
Boiva aka dawn rhoek te a tuping neh ha pawk uh ni. Dap a tuk thil uh vetih a kut dongkah hlang tah a kaepvai ah luem uh ni.
4 “Dedicate yourselves to the gods for the battle. Arise, let us attack at noon. It is too bad that the daylight is fading away, that the evening shadows are falling.
A taengah hoep uh laeh, caemtloek la thoo uh laeh. Khothun ah khaw cet uh sih. Anunae, mamih ham tah khothaih loh kaeng uh coeng tih hlaemhmah khokhawn khaw puh coeng.
5 But let us attack at night and destroy her fortresses.”
Thoo uh khoyin ah cet uh sih lamtah a impuei rhoek phae uh sih.
6 For Yahweh of hosts says this: Cut her trees, and heap up siegeworks against Jerusalem. This is the right city to attack, because it is filled with oppression.
Te dongah Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Thing rholong te saih uh lamtah Jerusalem te tanglung khueng thil uh. Khopuei he cawh saeh, a boeih la a khui ah hnaemtaeknah ni aka om.
7 As a well pours out fresh water, so this city keeps producing wickedness. Violence and disorder are heard within her; sickness and wounds are continually before my face.
Tuito ah tuito tui a phuet bangla a boethae khaw phuet tangkhuet. Kuthlahnah neh rhoelrhanah loh a khuiah ya uh rhoi tih ka mikhmuh ah tlohtat neh hmasoe neh om taitu.
8 Accept discipline, Jerusalem, or I will turn away from you and make you into a ruin, an uninhabited land.'”
Jerusalem nang n'thuituen coeng. Ka hinglu he nang lamloh a hoeng uh ve ne. Nang te khohmuen khopong neh khosa a om pawt la kang khueh ve.
9 Yahweh of hosts says this, “They will certainly glean those who are left in Israel like a vineyard. Reach out again with your hand to pick grapes from the vines.
Tangkhuet la caempuei BOEIPA loh, “Israel kah a meet te misur bangla poelyoe khaw poelyoe mai saeh. Thaihbom aka yun bangla na kut thuung laeh.
10 To whom should I declare and warn so they will listen? Look! Their ears are uncircumcised; they are not able to pay attention! Look! The word of Yahweh has come to them to correct them, but they do not want it.”
U taengah nim ka thui vetih ka hih daengah a yaak uh eh? Amih hna ngun rhoek loh a hnatung ham a coeng uh moenih ke. BOEIPA ol he amih taengah om dae ta kokhahnah bangla a khuiah naem uh pawh.
11 But I am filled with Yahweh's fury. I am tired of holding it in. He said, to me, “Pour it out on the children in the streets and on the groups of young men. For every man will be taken away with his wife; and every old person heavy with years.
Tedae BOEIPA kah kosi he ka hah coeng tih cangbam ham ka ngak coeng. Tollong kah camoe soah lun laeh. Tongpang rhoek kah baecenol dongah a yuu neh va khaw, patong neh khohnin aka cup te khaw rhenten a tuuk ni.
12 Their houses will be turned over to others, both their fields and their wives together. For I will attack the inhabitants of the land with my hand—this is Yahweh's declaration.
A im lo neh a yuu rhoek te a tloe taengla rhenten a mael pah ni. Diklai khosa rhoek te ka kut ka thueng thil coeng. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
13 Yahweh declares that from the least to the greatest, all of them are greedy for dishonest gain. From the prophet to the priest, all of them practice deceit.
Amih te tanoe lamloh kangham due mueluemnah neh boeih a mueluem. Tonghma neh khosoih te khaw a honghi aka saii kak ni.
14 They have healed the wounds of my people lightly, saying, 'Peace, Peace,' when there is no peace.
Ka pilnam kah pocinah aka hoeih sak long khaw vapsa la sadingnah sadingnah a ti tih sadingnah om pawh.
15 Were they ashamed when they practiced abominations? They were not ashamed; they did not know how to blush! So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when they are punished, says Yahweh.
Tueilaehkoi la a saii uh te yak uh nim. Yak khaw yak uh pawt tih hmaithae khaw ming uh pawh. Te dongah amih ka cawh hnin ah tah aka cungku te a cungku thil uh vetih paloe uh ni. He tah BOEIPA long ni a thui.
16 Yahweh says this, “Stand at the road crossing and look; ask for the ancient pathways. 'Where is this good way?' Then go on it and find a resting place for yourselves. But the people say, 'We will not go.'
BOEIPA loh, “Longpuei ah pai lamtah hmu van lah. Khosuen kah a hawn te menim dawt lah. Te longpuei then ah pongpa lamtah na hinglu ham duemnah hmu lah,” a ti lalah, “Ka pongpa uh mahpawh,” a ti uh.
17 I appointed for you watchmen to listen for the trumpet. But they said, 'We will not listen.'
“Nang soah rhaltawt la ka pai sak coeng, tuki ol te hnatung uh,” a ti lalah, “Ka hnatung uh mahpawh,” a ti uh.
18 Therefore, nations, listen! See, you witnesses, what will happen to them.
Te dongah namtom rhoek loh ya lamtah amih taengkah laipai te khaw ming lah.
19 Hear, earth! See, I am about to bring disaster to this people—the fruit of their thoughts. They paid no attention to my word or law, but they instead rejected it.”
Diklai long khaw ya laeh. Amamih kopoek kah a thaih te he pilnam soah kai loh yoethae la ka thoeng sak coeng he. Ka ol he hnatung uh pawt tih ka olkhueng khaw a hnawt uh.
20 “What does this frankincense going up from Sheba mean to me? Or these sweet smells from a distant land? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable to me, nor are your sacrifices.
Sheba lamkah aka thoeng hmueihtui, khohla bangsang kho kah cup then te kai ham ba lam lae a om? Nangmih kah hmueihhlutnah dongah kolonah khaw om pawt tih nangmih kah hmueih te kai taengah a tui moenih.
21 So Yahweh says this, 'See, I am about to place a stumbling block against this people. They will stumble over it—fathers and sons together. Inhabitants and their neighbors will also perish.'
Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “He pilnam taengah kai loh hmuitoel ka khueh pah. A soah ah paloe vetih a napa rhoek neh a ca rhoek khaw, imben neh a hui khaw milh rhoela rhenten milh uh ni,” a ti.
22 Yahweh says this, 'See, a people is coming from the land of the north, a great nation is being stirred up from the farthest parts of the earth.
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Tlangpuei kho lamkah pilnam ha pawk he, diklai tlanghlaep lamkah namtom pilnu haenghang coeng.
23 They will pick up bows and spears. They are cruel and have no compassion. Their sound is like the sea roar, and they are riding on horses, set out in order as men for battle, against you, daughter of Zion.'”
A muenying muenyang la lii neh soe a muk uh tih a haidam khaw khueh uh pawh. A ol mah tuitunli bangla kawk. Zion nu nang taengah caemtloek hlang bangla marhang dongah ngol tih rhong a pai coeng.
24 We have heard the reports about them and our hands fall limp in distress. Anguish seizes us as a woman giving birth.
A thang n'yaak uh vaengah mamih kut kha coeng. Citcai loh ca-om bungtloh bangla mamih ng'kolek.
25 Do not go out to the fields, and do not walk on the roads, for the swords of the enemy and terror are all around.
Lohma la mop rhoe mop boeh. Longpuei ah khaw cet rhoe cet boeh. Thunkha kah cunghang kaepvai ah rhihnah la om.
26 Daughter of my people, put on sackcloth and roll in ashes; mourn with painful sobs as for an only son, for the destroyer will suddenly come upon us.
Ka pilnam tanu loh tlamhni bai lamtah hmaiphu dongah bol laeh. Oingaih cangloeng kah nguekcoinah te namah ham saii laeh. Mamih soah aka rhoelrhak loh buengrhuet ha pai dongah rhaengsaelung neh kosi ngawn dung coeng.
27 “I have made you, Jeremiah, one who tests my people like one would test metal, so you will inspect and test their ways.
Ka pilnam ham lungnoek la nang kang khueh. Te daengah ni hmuencak te na ming vetih amih kah longpuei te na loepdak eh.
28 They are all the most stubborn of people, who go about slandering others. All of them are bronze and iron, acting corruptly.
Amih boeih te thinthah neh taengphael uh tih caemtuh neh pongpa uh. Amih rhohum neh thicung he khaw boeih muei.
29 The bellows are scorched by the fire that is burning them; the lead is consumed in the flames. The refining continues among them, but it is useless, because the evil is not removed.
Hmaiphawt khaw amamih kah hmai dongah tlum coeng tih kawnlawk khaw hmai dongah hma coeng. A poeyoek la a cil a cil uh tih a boethae tah cing hae pawh.
30 They will be called rejected silver, for Yahweh has rejected them.”
BOEIPA loh amih te a hnawt coeng dongah amih te cak hnawt la a khue uh.
