Jeremiah 3
1 Saying, 'Lo, one sendeth away his wife, And she hath gone from him, And she hath been to another man, Doth he turn back unto her again? Greatly defiled is not that land? And thou hast committed whoredom with many lovers, And turn again to Me, an affirmation of Jehovah.
Tami buet touh ni a yu hah a ma teh, napui ni ahni hah a ceitakhai teh, ayâ alouke yu lah awm pawiteh, tongpa ni hote napui teh bout a la han na maw. Hote ram teh ka patawpoung lah khin sak hoeh na maw, telah ati awh. Hateiteh nang teh, na ngai e naw pueng koe tak na kâyo. Hatei kai koe bout na ban telah, BAWIPA ni ati.
2 Lift thine eyes to the high places, and see, Where hast thou not been lain with? On the ways thou hast sat for them, As an Arab in a wilderness, And thou defilest the land, By thy fornications, and by thy wickedness.
Hmuenrasang cailum hmuen koe loungouk nateh khenhaw! tongpa ni na ikhai hoeh nae hmuen ao maw. Ram tangkuem dawk Arabia taminaw patetlah, ahnimouh na ring laihoi, lam teng vah na tahung teh, na tak kâyonae hoi, na hawihoehnae lahoi, ram thung koung na khinsak toe.
3 And withheld are showers, and gathered rain hath not been. The forehead of a whorish woman thou hast, Thou hast refused to be ashamed.
Hatdawkvah, khorak sak laipalah, hnukteng e kho hai rak hoeh toe, tak na kâyonae tampa hah na sin teh, kaya na panuek hoeh.
4 Hast thou not henceforth called to Me, 'My father, Thou [art] the leader of my youth?
Apa, ka nawca navah na kahrawikung lah na o, telah kai na kaw nahoehmaw.
5 Doth He keep to the age? watch for ever?' Lo, these things thou hast spoken, And thou dost the evil things, and prevailest.
Nang teh lung pou na khuek han maw. Apout totouh maw na lung pou khuek han, khenhaw! hot patetlah, lawk na dei teh, na tithai totouh, yonnae hah na sak.
6 And Jehovah saith unto me, in the days of Josiah the king, 'Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? She is going on every high mountain, and unto the place of every green tree, and committeth fornication there.
Hothloilah, Josiah siangpahrang se nah hai, BAWIPA ni kai koe hettelah a dei, hnuklah ban han ka ngai e Isarel ni a sak e hah, na hmu maw. Mon rasang pueng dawk a luen teh, thing rahim tangkuem vah tak a kâyo.
7 And I say, after her doing all these, Unto Me thou dost turn back, and she hath not turned back, and see [it] doth her treacherous sister Judah.
Hete hnonaw a sak hnukkhu hoi, kai koe bout a ban han doeh, telah ka ti. Hatei bout ban ngai hoeh, yuemkamcu hoeh e a nawngha Judah ni a hmu.
8 And I see when (for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery) I have sent her away, and I give the bill of her divorce unto her, that treacherous Judah her sister hath not feared, and goeth and committeth fornication — she also.
Hatdawkvah, hnuklah a bannae ni Isarel ka uicuk sak naw hah ka hmu. Kama teh kâmanae ca hah ka poe. Hat nakunghai yuemkamcu hoeh e a nawngha Judah ni bout taket hoeh. Hatei ahni hai a cei teh, tak a kâyo van.
9 And it hath come to pass, from the vileness of her fornication, that the land is defiled, and she committeth fornication with stone and with wood.
Takkâyonae hoi ram hah a khin sak teh, thing hoi talung koe a uicuk.
10 And even in all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned back unto Me with all her heart, but with falsehood, an affirmation of Jehovah.'
Hete hnonaw hloilah kamcu hoeh e a nawngha napui Judah teh lungthin katang hoi ban laipalah, ka kâsak e lah a ban, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
11 And Jehovah saith unto me: 'Justified herself hath backsliding Israel, More than treacherous Judah.
BAWIPA ni kai koe hettelah a dei. Hnuklah ka ban e Isarel ni yuemkamcu hoeh e Judah hlak hai kalanhnawn la a kamnue.
12 Go, and thou hast proclaimed these words toward the north, and hast said, Turn back, O backsliding Israel, An affirmation of Jehovah! I cause not Mine anger to fall upon you, For I [am] kind, an affirmation of Jehovah, I watch not to the age.
Cet nateh, hete lawk he tung lah pâpho, hnuklah kamlang e Isarel ban leih telah BAWIPA ni ati. Lungkhueknae minhmai hoi na khen mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, lungmanae hoi ka kawi e lah ka o, telah BAWIPA ni ati, lungkhueknae hoi poe kaawm mahoeh.
13 Only, know thine iniquity, For against Jehovah thy God thou hast transgressed, And thou dost scatter thy ways to strangers, Under every green tree, And to My voice thou hast not hearkened, An affirmation of Jehovah.
BAWIPA na Cathut na tarannae hoi thingkung rahim e ram alouknaw koe, tak na kâyonae hoi, ka dei e lawk na yuem hoeh kecu dawkvah, na payonnae hah pâpho, telah BAWIPA ni ati.
14 Turn back, O backsliding sons, An affirmation of Jehovah. For I have ruled over you, And taken you one of a city, and two of a family, And have brought you to Zion,
Oe, hnuklah kamlang e catounnaw ban awh, telah BAWIPA ni ati. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmanaw kountoukkung lah ka o. Khopui dawk hoi tami buet touh, imthung dawk hoi tami kahni touh na la awh vaiteh, Zion vah na hrawi awh han.
15 And I have given to you shepherds According to Mine own heart, And they have fed you with knowledge and understanding.
Panuenae hoi, thoumthai lungangnae hoi, nangmouh kountoukkung, kaie lungthin ka tawn e, tukhoumkung hah na poe awh han.
16 And it hath come to pass, when ye are multiplied, And have been fruitful in the land, In those days — an affirmation of Jehovah, They say not any more, 'The ark of the covenant of Jehovah,' Nor doth it go up on the heart, Nor do they remember concerning it, Nor do they inspect, nor is it made again.
Hahoi hettelah ao han. Hatnae tueng dawk ram thung vah, moikapap na kamphung torei teh, ahnimouh ni ‘BAWIPA lawkkam thingkong telah tet awh mahoeh toe, a pouknae naw dawk hai pâkuem awh mahoeh toe. Cet hai na cet sin awh mahoeh, sak hai na sak awh mahoeh toe, telah BAWIPA ni ati.
17 At that time they cry to Jerusalem, 'O throne of Jehovah,' And gathered unto her hath been all the nations, For the name of Jehovah, to Jerusalem, Nor do they go any more after the stubbornness of their evil heart.
Hatnae tueng dawk Jerusalem teh, BAWIPA bawitungkhung telah ti han. Hawvah miphunnaw pueng hah BAWIPA e min lahoi Jerusalem vah a kamkhueng awh han. Kahawihoeh e pouknae kâpoenae hah tarawi awh mahoeh toe.
18 In those days do the house of Judah Go unto the house of Israel, And they come together from the land of the south, unto the land That I caused your fathers to inherit.
Hatnae hnin dawk Judah imthung hah Isarel imthung hoi rei awm awh vaiteh, na mintoenaw koe râw hanelah ka poe e, ram dawk tung lae ram hoi cungtalah tâco awh han.
19 And I have said, How do I put thee among the sons, And give to thee a desirable land, A beauteous inheritance of the hosts of nations, And I say, My father — ye do call to Me, And from after Me ye do not turn back.
Hateiteh, kai ni bangtelamaw miphunnaw râw kahawie kanawmpoung e ram hah ka poe teh, catounnaw koe vah, na hruek thai awh, telah ka ti. Apa telah na kaw vaiteh, na kangheng takhai mahoeh toe, telah ka ti.
20 But — a woman hath deceived her friend, So ye have dealt treacherously with Me, O house of Israel, an affirmation of Jehovah.
Yu buet touh ni yuemkamcu hoeh lahoi a vâ a ceitakhai e patetlah, oe Isarel imthungkhunaw yuemkamcu hoeh lahoi na dum katang awh, telah BAWIPA ni ati.
21 A voice on high places is heard — weeping, Supplications of the sons of Israel, For they have made perverse their way, They have forgotten Jehovah their God.
Isarel catounnaw kâheinae hoi na khuinae lawk hah, karasange cailum hmuen dawk hoi ka thai toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, amamae lamthung hah kamlang takhai teh, BAWIPA Cathut hah a pahnim awh.
22 Turn back, O backsliding sons, I cause your backslidings to cease. — Behold us, we have come to Thee, For Thou [art] Jehovah our God.
Oe, hnuklah kamlang e canaw bout ban awh haw, hnuklah na kamlangnae hah na dam sak han. Hatei nang koe ka tho. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang nama teh kaimae BAWIPA Cathut la na o.
23 Surely in vain from the heights, The multitude of mountains — Surely in Jehovah our God [is] the salvation of Israel.
Mon dawk hoi rungngangnae hmu hane ngaihawinae teh, bang cungkeinae awm hoeh. Monnaw puenghai cungkeinae awm katang hoeh. Isarel rungngangnae teh, BAWIPA Cathut koe dueng doeh ao.
24 And the shameful thing hath devoured The labour of our fathers from our youth, Their flock and their herd, Their sons and their daughters.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka nawca hoi ka mintoenaw ni a tawk e a tuhunaw hoi, saringnaw, a canu a capanaw totouh, kayanae ni be a ca awh.
25 We have lain down in our shame, and cover us doth our confusion, For against Jehovah our God we have sinned, We, and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, Nor have we hearkened to the voice of Jehovah our God!
Kayanae dawk ka i awh teh, yeiraiponae ni, na ramuk awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA Cathut taranlahoi ka yon awh teh, kamamouh hoi mintoenaw ni ka nawca hoi sahnin totouh, BAWIPA Cathut e lawk hah ka tarawi awh hoeh.
