Jeremiah 5
1 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in her broad places, if ye can find a man, if there is any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.
Jerusalem khothung vah yawng nateh, thongma hoi khen nateh panuek awh. Thongma tanghling hah khen awh nateh, tami buet touh banghai lawkkatang ka tawng e lawkcengkung na hmawt awh pawiteh Jerusalem teh ka ngaithoum han.
2 And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely.
BAWIPA a hring telah a dei awh nakunghai, laithoe hoi thoe a kâbo awh.
3 O LORD, are not thy eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
Oe, BAWIPA lawkkatang teh, hmu han na ngai e nahoehmaw. Na hem awh nakunghai ka lung mathout hoeh. Na raphoe nakunghai, na tounnae hah tawm ngai awh hoeh. Lungsongpui hlak hai a pata teh, a tampanaw hah a te sak teh bout ban ngai kalawn aw hoeh.
4 Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God.
Hatdawkvah, kai ni, hetnaw heh tami karoedengnaw doeh, ahnimouh teh a pathu awh, bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e lam hoi amamae Cathut lawkcengnae hah panuek awh hoeh.
5 I will go to the great men, and will speak to them; for they have known the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
Tami kalentoenaw koe ka cei vaiteh, ahnimouh koe lawk ka dei han. bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh ni, BAWIPA e lam hoi amamae Cathut lawkcengnae han a panue awh, telah ka ti. Hateiteh, hetnaw ni, lungthin suetalah kahnam hah a khoe awh teh, kateknae rui a rathap awh.
6 Therefore a lion from the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out from there shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.
Hatdawkvah, ratu thung e sendek ni ahnimouh teh a kei awh han. Asui ni a raphoe awh han. Takai ni khopui pawm vaiteh, ka tâcawt e pueng vekrasen lah a phi han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, lawkeknae hah apap teh, hnuklah kamlangnae apap poung.
7 How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, then they committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.
Hete hno dawk, bangtelamaw na ngaithoum thai han. Na canaw ni na ceitakhai awh teh, Cathut lah kaawmhoehnaw koe lah thoe a kâbo awh. Kaboumcalah ka kawkhik torei teh, a uicuk awh teh, tak kâyawt e im vah, a kamkhueng awh te, a yon awh.
8 They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour’s wife.
King kaboumlah rawca ka cat e marang patetlah ao awh, tami pueng ni amamae imri e a yunaw hah a nôe awh teh a cairing sin awh.
9 Shall I not punish for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Hete hnonaw kecu dawkvah, ka rek mahoeh namaw telah BAWIPA ni ati, hot patet e miphun lathueng vah, ka pathung mahoeh namaw.
10 Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD’S.
A rapan dawkvah, kâen nateh, koung raphoe awh. Hateiteh, abuemlah teh raphoe hanh awh, a cakang hah lat awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e nahoeh.
11 For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarel imthung naw hoi Judah imthung ni ka lathueng vah, huenghai hawi a sak awh, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
12 They have denied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
BAWIPA teh laikathout e lah a pouk awh teh, ahni ni banghai tet katang mahoeh, rucatnae hai maimouh lathueng phat sak katang mahoeh, tahloi hoi takang hai kâhmo katang mahoeh.
13 And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done to them.
Profetnaw teh kahlî doeh, ahnimouh dawk lawkkatang awm hoeh, hatdawkvah ahnimae a lawk teh amamouh hanelah awm yawkaw seh, ati awh.
14 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
Hatdawkvah kalvan ransabawi ni hettelah a dei, ahnimanaw ni hete lawk a dei tangcoung dawkvah, kai ni ka lawknaw heh na pahni dawk hmai lah ka o sak vaiteh he e taminaw heh thing lah kacoungsak vaiteh hmai ni koung a kak awh han.
15 Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.
Oe Isarel imthungkhunaw, nangmanaw ka tuk hanelah kho hlanae koehoi miphun thasai ka kaw han, ayan hoi kaawm boi e tha kaawm poung, nangmouh ni a lawk na thai panuek awh hoeh e taminaw ka kaw han, telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
16 Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.
Ahnimae palanaw teh sut kamawng e phuen lah ao teh abuemlahoi thakasai pong e lah ao awh.
17 And they shall eat up thy harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thy herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish with the sword thy fortified cities, in which thou didst trust.
Ahnimouh ni na tangcoung e cang hai na ca han e rawca pueng haiyah koung a ca vaiteh, na capanaw hoi na canunaw ni a ca awh hane hai koung a ca awh han. Na maitonaw hoi na tunaw hai a ca han, na misurkung hoi thaibunglungnaw hai a ca han, rapan ka tawn e khonaw hai telah hoi koung a raphoe awh han.
18 Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you.
Hahoi teh hatnae hnin nah kai ni koung na pathup awh mahoeh, telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
19 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Why doeth the LORD our God all these things to us? then shalt thou answer them, As ye have forsaken me, and served foreign gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.
Taminaw ni, bangkongmaw maimouh BAWIPA Cathut ni hettelah maimouh van hno a sak vai. Telah na pacei awh vah, nangmouh ni ahnimouh koe, “nangmouh ni kai na hnoun awh teh ramlouk cathut thaw hah na ram thung na sak van awh e patetlah, atu na ramdawk e laipalah ram alouke thaw teh na tawk a han toe teh poeh, telah BAWIPA ni a pâpho.
20 Declare this in the house of Jacob, and proclaim it in Judah, saying,
Hete lawk heh Jakop imthungkhu koe dei poeh, Judah ram thung vah pâpho awh.
21 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; who have eyes, and see not; who have ears, and hear not:
Oe nangmouh tamipathu hoi panuenae laipalah, mit na tawn awh eiteh, kahmawthoehnaw, hnâ na tawn awh eiteh kathaihoehnaw hetheh thai awh haw.
22 Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though its waves toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?
Na taket awh hoeh maw. Telah BAWIPA ni a dei. Ka hmalah na pâyaw awh mahoeh maw. Kai ni tuipui teng vah langri hanlah sadi ka sak, tapoung thai hoeh nahan yungyoe sak hanelah ao. Tuipui tuicapa ka tho nakunghai, tapoung thai mahoeh.
23 But this people have a revolting and a rebellious heart; they have revolted and gone.
Hatei ka taminaw ni a lungpata awh teh taranthawnae lungthin a tawn awh; tarantuk hanlah a yawng awh.
24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in its season: he reserveth to us the appointed weeks of harvest.
Amamouh roeroe ni a lungthin hoi hai, “a tue nah hmaloe kho hoi hnuk ten kho ka rak sakkung, canga tue nah ka kesakkung, BAWIPA maimae Cathut heh takhet awh haw sei”, tet awh hoeh.
25 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withheld good things from you.
Namamae na sak payonnae ni hetnaw pueng heh a kahma sak teh, na yonnae naw pueng koung a ngang.
26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lie in wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
Ka taminaw rahak vah tamikathoutnaw ao teh tangkam kapatûngnaw ni tava a pawp awh e patetlah a pawp awh teh tangkam heh a patung pouh awh.
27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they have become great, and have grown rich.
Tapawm dawk tava a kawi e patetlah, a im dawk dumnae hai akawi, a bawi awh teh hnopai moikapap tawn awh.
28 They have become fat, they shine: yea, they exceed the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
Athaw awh teh minhmai a kâpi awh. Tamikathoutnaw ni sak e ka tapuetlah thoenae a sak awh, hno kathout saknae ni, na pa katawnhoehnaw koe laidei awh hoeh, roedengnaw ni hmu han kawi koelah kangdoutkhai awh hoeh.
29 Shall I not punish for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Hete hnonaw dawkvah sak laipalah ka o han namaw telah BAWIPA ni a dei. Het patetlae miphunnaw lathueng moipathung laipalah ka o han namaw.
30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;
Kângairu hnonaw, hoi takikathopoung hno teh ram thungvah a sak awh.
31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in its end?
Profetnaw ni laithoe a dei awh teh, vaihmanaw ni amamae kâ lahoi a uk awh. Het patetlae naw hah ka taminaw ni a lungpataw awh. Hatei a poutnae koe lah teh bangmaw na sak awh han.
