< Jeremiah 13 >
1 Thus said Jehovah unto me, 'Go, and thou hast got for thee a girdle of linen, and hast placed it on thy loins, and into water thou dost not cause it to enter:'
BAWIPA ni kai koe hetheh a dei, cet nateh hnitaisom ran nateh kâyeng haw, hatei tui duk sak hanh, ati.
2 and I get the girdle, according to the word of Jehovah, and I place [it] on my loins.
Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni a dei e patetlah hnitaisom hah ka ran teh ka kâyeng.
3 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me a second time, saying,
Hathnukkhu, BAWIPA e lawk teh apâhni kai koe bout a pha teh,
4 'Take the girdle that thou hast got, that [is] on thy loins, and rise, go to Phrat, and hide it there in a hole of the rock;
hnitaisom na ran e hah lat nateh, kâyeng laihoi Euphrates tui koe cet nateh, talung kâbawng e rahak vah hrawk haw, telah ati.
5 and I go and hide it by Phrat, as Jehovah commanded me.
Hatdawkvah, ka cei teh BAWIPA ni a dei e patetlah Euphrates tui teng vah ka hro.
6 And it cometh to pass, at the end of many days, that Jehovah saith unto me, 'Rise, go to Phrat, and take thence the girdle, that I commanded thee to hide there;'
Hnin moi a saw hnukkhu teh, BAWIPA ni kai koe vah, thaw nateh Euphrates tui koe cet nateh, hnitaisom na hro sak e hah bout lat leih na ti pouh.
7 and I go to Phrat, and dig, and take the girdle from the place where I had hid it; and lo, the girdle hath been marred, it is not profitable for anything.
Hatdawkvah, Euphrates tui koe ka cei teh, ka hronae hmuen koe ka tai teh, bout ka la. Hatei, koung a hmawn toung dawkvah, hnopai hanlah awm hoeh toe.
8 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 'Thus said Jehovah:
Hathnukkhu BAWIPA e lawk teh kai koe a pha.
9 Thus do I mar the excellency of Judah, And the great excellency of Jerusalem.
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, het patetlah Judahnaw kâoupnae hoi Jerusalem kâoupnae hah ka raphoe han.
10 This evil people, who refuse to hear My words, Who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, And go after other gods to serve them, And to bow themselves to them, Yea it is — as this girdle, that is not profitable for anything.
Hete tamikayonnaw, ka lawk ka ngai hoeh e taminaw, amamae a lungpatanae patetlah ka cet ni teh, alouke cathutnaw ka bawk niteh, a thaw tawk pouh hanelah ka cet naw teh, hete hnitaisom patetlah lah ao awh. Hnopai hanlah awm awh mahoeh.
11 For, as the girdle cleaveth unto the loins of a man, So I caused to cleave unto Me The whole house of Israel, And the whole house of Judah, an affirmation of Jehovah, To be to Me for a people, and for a name, And for praise, and for beauty, And they have not hearkened.
Hnitaisom teh tami ni a keng dawk a kâyeng e patetlah Isarel imthungkhu hoi Judah imthungkhu naw pueng teh, ka taminaw, ka min kamthang sak hane hoi ka bawilen sak hanelah kai koe pou kârayen hanelah ka sak e lah ao eiteh, banglah noutna awh hoeh telah BAWIPA ni ati.
12 And thou hast said unto them this word, Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, 'Every bottle is full of wine,' And they have said unto thee: 'Do we not certainly know that every bottle is full of wine?'
Ahnimouh koe hete lawk heh na dei pouh han. BAWIPA Isarel Cathut ni vah hettelah a dei, Misur um pueng hah misur tui hoi kawi sak hanlah ao. Ahnimouh ni nang koevah, misur um teh misur tui hoi kawi sak hanlah ao tie hah ka panuek boi awh hoeh maw, telah ati awh han.
13 And thou hast said unto them, 'Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am filling all the inhabitants of this land, And the kings who sit for David on his throne, And the priests, and the prophets, And all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, [With] drunkenness,
Ahnimouh koevah, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Hete ram thung kaawm tami pueng Devit e bawitungkhung dawkvah, ka tahung siangpahrang pueng, vaihmanaw, profetnaw hoi Jerusalem vah kaawm taminaw pueng hah yamuhrinae hoi ka kawi sak han.
14 And have dashed them one against another, And the fathers and the sons together, An affirmation of Jehovah, I do not pity, nor spare, nor have I mercy, So as not to destroy them.
Kai ni amahoima buet touh hoi buet touh, a napanaw hoi a canaw hai ka kâhem sak han telah BAWIPA ni ati. Hottelae naw teh raphoe hoeh nahanlah pahren mahoeh, pâhlung mahoeh, lungma mahoeh, hatei, he ka raphoe han ati telah ati.
15 Hear, and give ear — be not haughty, For Jehovah hath spoken.
Hnâpakeng nateh thai haw. Kâoup hanh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni lawk a dei toe.
16 Give ye to Jehovah your God honour, Before He doth cause darkness, And before your feet stumble on dark mountains, And ye have waited for light, And He hath made it for death-shade, And hath appointed [it] for thick darkness.
Hmonae a pha sak hoehnahlan, ka hmot e mon dawkvah na khok na kamthui hoehnahlan vah, BAWIPA na Cathut teh pholen haw. Angnae na tawng lahun nah duenae tâhlip a tâco sak teh, ka hmot e talung kâko lah a coung sak.
17 And if ye do not hear it, In secret places doth my soul weep, because of pride, Yea, it weepeth sore, And the tear cometh down mine eyes, For the flock of Jehovah hath been taken captive.
Hete na ngai hoehpawiteh, nangmae na kâoupnae dawkvah, arulahoi ka ka han. BAWIPA e tuhunaw teh, san lah a hrawi awh han dawkvah, lungpataw lahoi ka ka vaiteh ka mitphi a bo han.
18 Say to the king and to the mistress: Make yourselves low — sit still, For come down have your principalities, The crown of your beauty.
Siangpahrang hoi siangpahrangnu koevah, na lû roi dawk e na bawilen bawilakhung hah a bo han toe. Hatdawkvah, na bawitungkhung dawk hoi kum roi leih, telah dei pouh.
19 The cities of the south have been shut up, And there is none opening, Judah hath been removed — all of her, She hath been removed completely —
Negev khopuinaw taren awh vaiteh, ka paawng hane apihai awm mahoeh. Judahnaw pueng san lah, abuemlahoi koung a hrawi awh han.
20 Lift up your eyes, and see those coming in from the north, Where [is] the drove given to thee, thy beautiful flock?
Na mit padai awh nateh, atunglah hoi kathonaw khenhaw, nangmouh koe na khoum sak e tuhu hoi ngai kaawm e tunaw hah namaw ao.
21 What dost thou say, when He looketh after thee? And thou — thou hast taught them [to be] over thee — leaders for head? Do not pangs seize thee as a travailing woman?
Bawi hoi lû lah kaawm hane na cangkhai e ni, na rek toteh, bangne na dei han. Napui ca khe pataw e patetlah na man toteh, a pataw na ti han na vaiyaw.
22 And when thou dost say in thy heart, 'Wherefore have these met me?' For the abundance of thine iniquity Have thy skirts been uncovered, Have thy heels suffered violence.
Bangkongmaw het patet e hno heh kai koe a pha vai, telah na mahoima hah kâpacei pawiteh, na yonnae naw apap poung dawk doeh toe, na hna a phawi awh teh tawngtai lah na o e a kamnue toe.
23 Doth a Cushite change his skin? and a leopard his spots? Ye also are able to do good, who are accustomed to do evil.
Ethiopianaw ni a vuen a kâthung thai maw. Kaisi ni a em a kâthung thai maw. Kâthung thai pawiteh, nangmouh kathout hno kasaknaw ni hai kahawi hno na sak thai awh han doeh.
24 And I scatter them as stubble, Passing away, by a wind of the wilderness.
Thingyei yawn dawk e kahlî ni cahik a palek e patetlah kai ni nangmouh teh be na kahei awh han.
25 This [is] thy lot, the portion of thy measures from Me — an affirmation of Jehovah, Because thou hast forgotten me, And dost trust in falsehood.
Kai na hnoun awh teh, laithoe na kâuep awh dawkvah, hetheh na ham hanlah na pouk pouh e doeh toe, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
26 I also have made bare thy skirts before thy face, And thy shame hath been seen.
Na kayanae kamnue nahanelah, na hna teh na minhmai totouh kalip takhang han.
27 Thine adulteries, and thy neighings, The wickedness of thy whoredom, on heights in a field, I have seen thine abominations. Woe to thee, O Jerusalem, Thou art not cleansed, after when [is it] again?
Kahrawng hoi monnaw dawkvah, na uicuknae hoi na hounlounnae hram pawlawk hoi, na kâyonae, panuettho e na sak e hah ka hmu, Oe Jerusalem, na yaw a thoe. Atu totouh na thoung hoeh rah maw.
