Jeremiah 14
1 That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah concerning the matters of the dearths:
Khokangnae kong dawk BAWIPA koe e lawk Jeremiah koe ka phat e lawk ka phat e teh,
2 Mourned hath Judah, and her gates have languished, They have mourned to the earth, And the cry of Jerusalem hath gone up.
Judah ni a khui teh, longkhanaw koevah khuinae ao. Ram hanlah a ka teh, Jerusalem koehoi kanae pawlawk a luen takhang.
3 And their honourable ones have sent their little ones to the water, They have come unto ditches, They have not found water, They have turned back — their vessels empty! They have been ashamed, And have blushed and covered their head.
Bawinaw ni tui kayawtnaw tui do hanelah a patoun awh. Ahnimouh ni tuikhu koe a cei awh ei, tui awm hoeh. Ahrawng lah bout a ban awh. Lungpuen taki laihoi a lû a ramuk awh.
4 Because the ground hath been broken, For there hath been no rain in the land, Ashamed have been husbandmen, They have covered their head.
Ram thung kho a rak hoeh dawkvah, talai teh rak khang toe. Law kaphawnaw ni lungpuen awh teh, a lû a ramuk awh.
5 For even the hind in the field hath brought forth — to forsake [it!] For there hath been no grass.
Kahrawng e sayuk ni patenghai ca a khe ei, hram ao hoeh dawkvah a ca hah a hnâw.
6 And wild asses have stood on high places, They have swallowed up wind like dragons, Consumed have been their eyes, for there is no herb.
Kahrawng e la teh a rasangnae cailum hmuen vah a kangdue awh teh, kahrawnguinaw patetlah kahlî a pahap awh. Hram ca hane ao hoeh dawkvah, a mit a mom awh.
7 Surely our iniquities have testified against us, O Jehovah, work for Thy name's sake, For many have been our backslidings, Against Thee we have sinned.
Kamamae yonnae ni yon na pen nakunghai, Oe BAWIPA, na min kecu dawk hno buetbuet touh sak yawkaw ei, yuemkamcuhoeh eiteh, moi a pap toe. Nang taranlahoi ka yon awh toe.
8 O Hope of Israel — its saviour in time of trouble, Why art Thou as a sojourner in the land? And as a traveller turned aside to lodge?
Oe! Isarelnaw, na ngaihawinae kângairu lahun nah, rungngangkung BAWIPA, bangkong ka ram thung vah imyin patetlah tangmin buet touh dueng ka ip e imyin patetlah na o.
9 Why art Thou as one dumb? As a mighty one not able to save? And Thou [art] in our midst, O Jehovah, And Thy name over us is called, leave us not.
Bangkong kângairu e patetlah kârungngang thai hoeh e athakaawme tami patetlah na o. Oe! BAWIPA, nang teh kaimouh koe na o teh, nange min teh ka phu awh. Hatdawkvah, kaimouh sut na hnoun hanh.
10 Thus said Jehovah concerning this people: Well they have loved to wander, Their feet they have not restrained, And Jehovah hath not accepted them, Now doth He remember their iniquity, And inspect their sin.
Hete taminaw kecu dawk BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, ahnimanaw ni poungram hane a ngai awh. A khoktakan hah kâcakuep thai hoeh. Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni hetnaw heh dâw awh hoeh. Atu teh ahnimouh thoenae teh, pou pâkuem pouh vaiteh, a yonnae kecu dawk a rek awh han.
11 And Jehovah saith unto me: Thou dost not pray for this people for good,
Hahoi BAWIPA ni kai koevah, hete taminaw ahawi nahanelah ratoum pouh hanh.
12 When they fast, I hearken not unto their cry, And when they cause to ascend burnt-offering and present, I accept them not, For by sword, and by famine, And by pestilence, I am consuming them.
Rawcahai awh nakunghai, ahnimae hremnae lawk teh ka thai pouh mahoeh. Hmaisawi thuengnae hoi pasoumhno, aluepaw na sin nakunghai kai ni ka dâw mahoeh. Ahnimouh teh tahloi, takang, hoi Lacik hoi let ka raphoe han ati. Hahoi kai ni, Aya! BAWIPA Cathut khenhaw! ahnimouh koe profetnaw ni,
13 And I say, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah, Lo, the prophets are saying to them: Ye do not see a sword, yea, famine is not to you, For true peace I give to you in this place.'
tahloi na ka hmo awh mahoeh, takang hai phat ma hoeh. Hete hmuen koevah ka pout thai hoeh e hnâroumnae na poe awh han telah pou a dei pouh awh, kai ni telah ka ti pouh.
14 And Jehovah saith unto me: Falsehood the prophets are prophesying in My name, I did not send them, nor command them, Nor have I spoken unto them: A false vision, and divination, and vanity, And the deceit of their own heart, they are prophesying to you.
Hatnavah BAWIPA ni kai koevah, profetnaw ni ka min hoi laithoe doeh ka pâpho awh. Ahnimouh teh kai ni ka patoun e nahoeh, kâ ka poe awh hoeh. Lawk hai ka dei pouh hoeh. ahnimouh ni a pâpho e naw teh mitpaleinae, kahrai thawtawknae, cungkeihoehe pouknae, amamae pouknae patetlah dumyennae roeroe doeh a dei awh.
15 Therefore, thus said Jehovah concerning the prophets who are prophesying in My name, and I have not sent them, and they are saying, Sword and famine is not in this land: By sword and by famine are these prophets consumed.
Hatdawkvah BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Kai ni hotnaw teh ka patoun hoeh. Hatei ahnimouh ni tahloi hoi takangnae teh, hete khoram dawk phat mahoeh telah a dei awh. Hote profetnaw heh tahloi hoi takangnae hoi a due van awh han.
16 And the people to whom they are prophesying, Are cast into out-places of Jerusalem, Because of the famine, and of the sword, And they have none burying them, Them, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, And I have poured out upon them this evil.
Ahnimouh ni lawk a pâpho pouh e, ka thai e miphun pueng hai tahloi hoi takang dawkvah, Jerusalem lamthungnaw dawkvah, sut ka tâkhawng han. Amamouh hoi a yunaw hoi a capa canunaw ka pakawp pouh han api buet touh hai awm mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, thoenae hah amamouh tak dawk ka awi han.
17 And thou hast said unto them this word: Tears come down mine eyes night and day, And they do not cease, For, [with] a great breach, Broken hath been the virgin daughter of my people, A very grievous stroke.
Hatdawkvah, hete lawk hah ahnimouh koe na dei han. Ka canu tanglakacuem ka taminaw ni, hemnae ka patawpoung teh a khang han, rahim lah coungroe lah ao toung dawkvah, ka mitphi teh karum khodai pout laipalah lawng lawiseh.
18 If I have gone forth to the field, Then, lo, the pierced of the sword! And if I have entered the city, Then, lo, the diseased of famine! For both prophet and priest have gone up and down Unto a land that they knew not.
Kho alawilah ka cei nahai tahloi hoi thei e taminaw ka hmu, khopui thung kâen nahai, takang dawk hoi profet hoi vaihmanaw ni a panue awh boihoeh e khoram lah cei awh toe, atipouh
19 Hast Thou utterly rejected Judah? Zion hath Thy soul loathed? Wherefore hast Thou smitten us, And there is no healing to us? Looking for peace, and there is no good, And for a time of healing, and lo, terror.
Judah heh koung na pahnawt awh katang toung. Zion hah na panuet awh ka tang toung. Hawi thai hoeh nahan bangkong kaimouh heh patang na khang sak. Hnâroumnae ka ngaihawi awh ei, hnokahawi tho hoeh toe. Hawinae ka ngaihawi awh ei, takinae letlang a pha.
20 We have known, O Jehovah, our wickedness, The iniquity of our fathers, For we have sinned against Thee.
Oe BAWIPA ka hawihoehnae naw hoi mintoenaw e a yonnae naw hah ka panue awh. Nang koe vah ka yon awh tangak toe.
21 Do not despise, for Thy name's sake, Dishonour not the throne of Thine honour, Remember, break not Thy covenant with us.
Na min lahoi kaimouh heh na panuet awh hanh ei, na lentoe tungkhung teh, a min mathout sak hanh, kaimouh hoi lawkkam sak e hah pahnim hoi raphoe rumram hanh.
22 Are there among the vanities of the nations any causing rain? And do the heavens give showers? Art not Thou He, O Jehovah our God? And we wait for thee, for Thou — Thou hast done all these!
Banglah ka tho hoeh e miphun alouke cathutnaw dawk, kho ka rak sak thai e ao na maw. Kalvan ni a mahmawk kho a rak sak thai maw. Oe BAWIPA kaimae Cathut, nang ni doeh kho na rak sak. Hatdawkvah, kaimae ngaihawinae hah nang dawk doeh ao. Nang ni doeh het patetlae hnonaw pueng hah na sak.
