< Jeremiah 16 >

1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
Hathnukkhu, BAWIPA e lawk kai koe a pha teh,
2 Thou dost not take to thee a wife, Nor hast thou sons and daughters in this place.
yu na lat mahoeh, hete hmuen koevah, canaw na tawn mahoeh.
3 For thus said Jehovah, Of the sons and of the daughters who are born in this place, And of their mothers — those bearing them, And of their fathers — those begetting them in this land:
Hete hmuen koe khe e canaw hoi a manu na pa kong dawk BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei,
4 Of painful deaths they die, They are not lamented, nor are they buried, For dung on the face of the ground they are, And by sword and by famine are consumed, And their carcase hath been for food To the fowl of the heavens, And to the beast of the earth.
ahnimanaw teh Lacik hoi a due awh han, Hotnaw hah apinihai kapkhai mahoeh, pakawm mahoeh, vaipuen talai dawk eitaboung patetlah a yan awh han. Tahloi hoi takangnae hoi a due awh han. Ahnimae ronaw teh kalvan e tava hoi moithangnaw hane rawca lah ao han.
5 For thus said Jehovah: Do not enter the house of a mourning-feast, Nor go to lament nor bemoan for them, For I have removed My peace from this people, An affirmation of Jehovah, The kindness and the mercies.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, ro im cet hanh, lungpahawi hanelah hai cet hanh, ama hai khui hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hete taminaw koehoi lungmawngnae, pahrennae lungmanae he ka la pouh toe telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
6 And died have great and small in this land, They are not buried, and none lament for them, Nor doth any cut himself, nor become bald for them.
Hete ram dawk tami kalen kathoung hai a due awh han. Apinihai pakawm mahoeh, apinihai khui mahoeh. Apinihai a mahoima kâbouk mahoeh, a sam hai ngaw mahoeh.
7 Nor do they deal out to them for mourning, To comfort him concerning the dead, Nor cause them to drink a cup of consolations For his father and for his mother.
Ro karingkungnaw hoi kapakawpnaw lungpahawi hanelah rawca apinihai thak pouh mahoeh. Ka dout e a na pa hoi a manu han patenghai thak pouh mahoeh. Ahnimouh lungpahawi hanelah apinihai tui boehai poe mahoeh.
8 A house of banqueting thou dost not enter, To sit with them, to eat and to drink,
Hatdawkvah, caneinae im dawk kâen hanh, ahnimouh hoi cungtalah tahung hanh, cat hanh.
9 For thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am causing to cease from this place, Before your eyes, and in your days, The voice of joy, and the voice of rejoicing, The voice of bridegroom and voice of bride.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ransahu BAWIPA Isarel Cathut ni hettelah a dei, nangmouh mithmu hoi na hring na thung vah lunghawilawknaw hah ka roum sak vaiteh, yuvâ kâpaluennae lawk hai hete hmuen koe ka roum sak han.
10 And it hath come to pass when thou declarest to this people all these words, and they have said unto thee, 'For what hath Jehovah spoken against us all this great evil? yea, what [is] our iniquity, and what our sin, that we have sinned against Jehovah our God?'
Hete lawknaw pueng hah hete taminaw koevah na dei pouh navah hotnaw ni, bangmaw BAWIPA ni hettelah totouh kahawihoeh poung e hno hah a dei vai. Bang hno maw sakpayon awh, BAWIPA kaimae Cathut koe vah bang yonnae maw ka sak awh, tet awh pawiteh,
11 Then thou hast said unto them: Because that your fathers have forsaken Me, An affirmation of Jehovah, And go after other gods, and serve them, And they bow themselves to them, And Me have forsaken, and My law not kept,
hettelah na dei pouh han, na mintoenaw ni kai na hnoun awh teh, alouke cathutnaw hnuk a kâbang awh teh, ahnimae thaw a tawk pouh awh. Kai na hnoun awh teh, kaie kâlawk hai tarawi awh hoeh.
12 Ye also have done evil above your fathers, And lo, ye are walking each after the stubbornness of his evil heart, So as not to hearken unto Me.
Nangmouh hai na mintoenaw hlak hoe na thoe hnawn awh. Khenhaw! kaie lawk ngai laipalah tami pueng ni amamae lungpouk patetlah koung a cei awh.
13 And I have cast you from off this land, On to a land that ye have not known, Ye and your fathers, And ye have served there other gods by day and by night, Where I do not give to you grace.
Hatdawkvah, kai ni hete ram thung hoi nangmouh hoi na mintoenaw ni na panue boihoeh e ram koe lah na pâlei awh han, hote hmuen koe vah karum khodai alouke cathutnaw e thaw na tawk awh han. Kai ni nangmouh hah na pasai awh mahoeh.
14 Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And it is not said any more: 'Jehovah liveth, who brought up The sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,'
Hatei, Isarel taminaw Izip ram hoi na kahrawikung, BAWIPA teh a hring dawkvah telah taminaw ni a dei awh hoeh nahanelah, a hnin teh a pha lahun, telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
15 But, 'Jehovah liveth, who brought up The sons of Israel out of the land of the north, And out of all the lands whither He drove them,' And I have brought them back to their land, That I gave to their fathers.
Hatei taminaw ni, atunglae ram hoi ahnimouh a hreknae ramnaw pueng thung hoi Isarelnaw kahrawikung BAWIPA teh a hring tangngak dawkvah ati awh han. Ahnimouh teh kai ni a na mintoenaw koevah, ka poe e ram thung bout ka o sak awh han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
16 Lo, I am sending for many fishers, An affirmation of Jehovah, And they have fished them, And after this I send for many hunters, And they have hunted them from off every mountain, And from off every hill, and from holes of the rocks.
Hatei, atu teh tangakamankungnaw moikapap ka kaw vaiteh, ahnimouh ni a man awh han. Hahoi kai ni moi ka kathoumnaw moikapap ka kaw vaiteh, monrui hoi montam hoi talungkâko totouh a ka awh han.
17 For Mine eyes [are] upon all their ways, They have not been hidden from My face, Nor hath their iniquity been concealed from before Mine eyes.
Ahnimae lamthung pueng hah ka mit ni pheng a hmu, kai koe hoi kâhrawk thai awh mahoeh, ahnimae yonnae hai ka mithmu hoi hro thai lah awm mahoeh.
18 And I have recompensed a first — A second time — their iniquity and their sin, Because of their polluting My land, With the carcase of their detestable things, Yea, their abominable things have filled Mine inheritance.
Amamae thoenae hoi yonnae dawkvah, let hni hoi ka pathung han, ahnimouh ni ka ram hah panuettho e ro hoi a kamhnawng sak awh teh, panuetthonae ni ka coe e ram dawk a kawi sak telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
19 O Jehovah, my strength, and my fortress, And my refuge in a day of adversity, Unto Thee nations do come from the ends of earth, And say, Only falsehood did our fathers inherit, Vanity, and none among them is profitable.
Oe BAWIPA ka thaonae hoi ka rapan, kângairu nah kângue e hoi talai apoutnae koehoi Jentelnaw nang koe a tho awh han. Mintoenaw ni laithoe, cungkeihoehe hno, ayawmyin hno hoeh laipalah banghai a pang awh hane râw awm hoeh.
20 Doth man make for himself gods, And they — no gods?
Tami ni ama hanlah cathut lah kaawm hoeh e cathut hah a sak han na maw.
21 Therefore, lo, I am causing them to know at this time, I cause them to know My hand and My might, And they have known that My name [is] Jehovah!
Hatdawkvah, kai ni hotnaw hah ka panue sak han. Ka kut hoi hnotithainae ka panue sak vaiteh, ka min hah Jehovah doeh tie a panue awh han.
