Jeremiah 12
1 Righteous [art] Thou, O Jehovah, When I plead towards thee, Only, judgments do I speak with Thee, Wherefore did the way of the wicked prosper? At rest have been all treacherous dealers.
Namah taengla kang rhoe vaengah BOEIPA namah tah na dueng coeng. Tedae laitloeknah te namah taengah ka thui koinih balae tih halang rhoek kah longpuei tah thaihtak tih hnukpoh rhoek loh a hnukpoh boeih khaw a dingsuek?
2 Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root, They go on, yea, they have made fruit, Near [art] Thou in their mouth, And far off from their reins.
Amih te na phung tih a yung a hlak dongah a thaih cuen. A ka nen tah na yoei uh dae a kuel lamloh hla coeng.
3 And Thou, O Jehovah, Thou hast known me, Thou seest me, and hast tried my heart with Thee, Draw them away as sheep to slaughter, And separate them for a day of slaughter.
Tedae BOEIPA namah loh kai nan ming. Kai he nan hmuh tih ka lungbuei khaw na noem coeng. Amih te maeh la namah taengah boiva bangla bawt lamtah ngawnnah khohnin kah ham rhoe laeh.
4 Till when doth the earth mourn, And the herb of the whole field wither? For the wickedness of those dwelling in it, Consumed have been beast and fowl, Because they said, 'He doth not see our latter end.'
Diklai he me hil nim a nguekcoi vetih khohmuen boeih kah baelhing a rhae ve. A khuikah khosa rhoek kah boethae dongah rhamsa neh vaa te a khoengvoep tih, “Kaimih kah hmailong he khui pawh,” a ti uh.
5 For — with footmen thou hast run, And they weary thee, And how dost thou fret thyself with horses! Even in the land of peace, [In which] thou art confident — And how dost thou in the rising of Jordan!
Rhalkap neh na yong vaengah pataeng na ngak atah metlamlae te marhang taengah na sai eh? Ngaimong kho ah pataeng na palyal atah metlamlae Jordan kah mingthennah khuiah na saii eh?
6 For even thy brethren and the house of thy father, Even they dealt treacherously against thee, Even they — they called after thee fully, Trust not in them, when they speak to thee good things.
Amih na manuca neh na pa imkhui long pataeng nang taengah hnukpok uh coeng. Amih te nang taengah khuk pang uh tih nang kah na then te thui uh cakhaw amih te tangnah boeh.
7 I have forsaken My house, I have left Mine inheritance, I have given the beloved of My soul Into the hand of her enemies.
Ka im te ka hnoo vetih ka rho te ka phap ni. Ka hinglu pumting te a thunkha kut ah ka tloeng ni.
8 Mine inheritance hath been to Me as a lion in a forest, She gave forth against Me with her voice, Therefore I have hated her.
Kamah taengah ka rho la om dae kai taengah duup kah sathueng bangla a ol neh ha thoeng. Te dongah ni anih te ka hmuhuet.
9 A speckled fowl [is] Mine inheritance to Me? Is the fowl round about against her? Come, assemble, every beast of the field, Come ye for food.
Ka taengkah ka rho he rhikrhek vatlung nim oe? A taengkah vatlung kilkoel nim oe? Cet uh, kohong mulhing boeih coi lamtah caak hamla lo.
10 Many shepherds did destroy My vineyard, They have trodden down My portion, They have made My desirable portion Become a wilderness — a desolation.
Aka dawn rhoek loh ka misurdum muep a phae tih ka hmakhuen te a suntlae uh. Ka hmakhuen sahnaih te khosoek khopong la a khueh uh.
11 He hath made it become a desolation, The desolation hath mourned unto Me, Desolated hath been all the land, But there is no one laying it to heart.
Khopong la a khueh vaengah kamah taengah nguekcoi uh. Diklai pum he a dingrhak la pong coeng tih lungbuei ah aka dueh hlang khaw om pawh.
12 On all high places in the plain have spoilers come in, For the sword of Jehovah is consuming, From the end of the land even unto the end of the land, There is no peace to any flesh.
Aka rhoelrhak ham te khosoek kah caphoei cuk boeih soah ha pawk coeng. BOEIPA kah cunghang tah diklai khobawt lamloh diklai khobawt duela a hlap tih pumsa boeih tah a ngaimong pawh.
13 They sowed wheat, and have thorns reaped, They have become sick — they profit not, And they have been ashamed of your increases, Because of the fierceness of the anger of Jehovah.
Cang a tuh dae hling la a ah uh dongah a kha uh akhaw hoeikhang uh pawh. BOEIPA kah thintoek thinsa lamloh na cangvuei khaw yak coeng.
14 Thus said Jehovah concerning all my evil neighbours, who are striking against the inheritance that I caused my people — Israel — to inherit: 'Lo, I am plucking them from off their ground, And the house of Judah I pluck out of their midst.
Kamah pilnam Israel taengah ka phaeng rho dongah aka moi uh ka imben boethae boeih ham ni BOEIPA loh a thui tangkhuet. Kai loh amih te a khohmuen dong lamloh ka phuk tih Judah imkhui te amih lakli lamloh ka phuk.
15 And it hath been, after My plucking them out, I turn back, and have pitied them, And I have brought them back, Each to his inheritance, and each to his land.
Tedae ka phuk hnukah amih te ka mael thil vetih amih ka haidam khaw om bitni. A rho taeng neh a diklai la rhip rhip ka mael sak ni.
16 And it hath come to pass, If they learn well the ways of My people, To swear by My name, 'Jehovah liveth,' As they taught My people to swear by Baal, Then they have been built up in the midst of My people.
A tue a pha atah Baal lamloh toemngam ham ka pilnam a tukkil uh bangla mulhing BOEIPA kamah ming neh toemngam ham ka pilnam longpuei te a tukkil rhoela a tukkil ni. Ka pilnam lakli ah tlingtlawn uh ni.
17 And if they do not hearken, Then I have plucked up that nation, Plucking up and destroying, An affirmation of Jehovah!'
Tedae a hnatun uh pawt atah namtom te phuk tih milh sak ham ka phuk van ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
