< Jeremiah 12 >

1 Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me speak with thee of [thy] judgments: Why doth the way of the wicked prosper? [why] are they all happy that deal very treacherously?
Oe BAWIPA na hmalah lai ka roe nahaiyah, nang na kuep yungyoe. Hatei, na lawkcengnae kong heh na hmalah dei ka ngai rah. Bangkongmaw tamikathoutnaw a lamcawn awh teh, kadumyennaw ni lunghawi hoi khosak awh.
2 Thou hast planted them, yes, they have taken root: they grow, yes, they bring forth fruit: thou [art] near in their mouth, and far from their reins.
Ahnimanaw hah nang ni na ung teh, tangpha a pabo, a roung awh teh, a paw awh. Ahnimae pahni hoi na hnai teh, ahnimae lungthin hoi teh na hla.
3 But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried my heart towards thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
Hatei, BAWIPA nang ni na panue, nang ni na hmu teh nama na pouknae hah na tanouk. Thei hanlah kaawm e tunaw patetlah ahnimouh hah sawn nateh hrawi haw. Thei nahane hnin hanlah ahnimouh hmoun haw.
4 How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He will not see our last end.
Ram ni na to touh maw, a cingou vaiteh, kahrawng e hrâmnaw ni nâtotouh maw a ke awh han. A thung e kaawmnaw hah a hawihoeh dawkvah, kahrawng moithangnaw hoi tavanaw hai kahmakata awh toe. Hathnukkhu vah, taminaw ni maimouh koe kaawm hno heh hmawt katang mahoeh, telah bout ati awh.
5 If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and [if] in the land of peace, [in which] thou hast trusted, [they wearied thee], then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?
Taminaw hoi yawng kâta nahai, ahnimouh ni na ta awh pawiteh, marangnaw hoi bangtelamaw na tâ thai han. Na kâuep e roumnae ram ni na tawn sak pawiteh, Jordan ratu tanghling dawk bangtelamaw na ti han vai.
6 For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yes, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words to thee.
Na hmaunawnghanaw, na imthungkhu ni patenghai, nang hah na dum awh toe, na ngaihoeh hoi na hramsin awh toe. Ahnimouh ni lawk kahawi a dei awh nakunghai, ahnimouh yuem awh hanh.
7 I have forsaken my house, I have left my heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
Ka im ka pahnawt vaiteh, ka râwnaw hai ka hnoun han toe. Ka pahren e tami teh, a tarannaw kut dawk ka poe toe.
8 My heritage is to me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it.
Kaie râw teh, ratu e sendek patetlah doeh ao toe. Kai hah na huk sin, hatdawkvah kai ni ka hmuhma.
9 My heritage [is] to me [as] a speckled bird, the birds around [are] against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.
Kaie râw teh kai hanlah tarakcak e langtanaw lah ao. Langta ni petkâkalup lah a hmang maw. Moithang pueng pâkhueng awh nateh ca hanelah thokhai awh.
10 Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
Tukhoumkung kapap ni, ka misur takha hah a raphoe awh teh, ka coe hane hah rep a coungroe awh. Phunep poung lah ka coe hane hah tami kingdi lah ao han.
11 They have made it desolate, [and being] desolate it mourneth to me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth [it] to heart.
Kingdi e ram lah ao sak, koung a raphoe teh kai koe a ka. A ram buemlah koung a raphoe teh, apinihai noutna awh hoeh.
12 The spoilers have come upon all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of the LORD shall devour from the [one] end of the land even to the other [end] of the land: no flesh shall have peace.
Kingdi e monsom ka nga e pueng koe karaphoekungnaw a luen awh han, ram apoutnae koehoi avanglae apout totouh, BAWIPA e tahloi ni koung a ca han, roumnae roeroe awm mahoeh.
13 They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain, [but] shall not profit; and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
Cang hah a tu awh han eiteh, pâkhing lah doeh a a awh han. A tha pueng hoi a tawn awh eiteh, banghai hmawt awh mahoeh. BAWIPA e a lungphuennae a patawpoung toung dawkvah, yeiraiponae doeh a a awh han.
14 Thus saith the LORD against all my evil neighbors, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, kaie tami Isarelnaw koevah, ka poe e râw karaphoekung ka imrinaw e yonnae naw dawkvah, a ram thung hoi ka phawk vaiteh, ahnimouh thung dawk hoi hai Judah imthungkhu hah ka phawk han.
15 And it shall come to pass, after I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
Hatei, ka phawk hnukkhu, hetnaw van vah pahrennae bout ka tawn vaiteh, amamouh ni râw a pang hane talai amamouh ram lah bout ka thokhai han.
16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people.
Hahoi, hettelah ao han. Baal koe ka taminaw thoebo a pâtu e patetlah ka min lahoi BAWIPA a hring teh, a hring nah thung pueng teh, telah thoebo a kamtu awh teh, ka taminaw hoi hringnuen hah kahawie lah kamtu awh pawiteh, ka taminaw thung dawk ka caksak han.
17 But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD.
Hatei, api miphun ni hai thai ngai awh hoehpawiteh, hote miphun teh koung ka phawk vaiteh, ka raphoe han, telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
