Jeremiah 5
1 Go to and fro in streets of Jerusalem, And see, I pray you, and know, And seek in her broad places, if ye find a man, If there be one doing judgment, seeking stedfastness — Then am I propitious to her.
Jerusalem khothung vah yawng nateh, thongma hoi khen nateh panuek awh. Thongma tanghling hah khen awh nateh, tami buet touh banghai lawkkatang ka tawng e lawkcengkung na hmawt awh pawiteh Jerusalem teh ka ngaithoum han.
2 And if they say, 'Jehovah liveth,' Surely to a falsehood they swear.
BAWIPA a hring telah a dei awh nakunghai, laithoe hoi thoe a kâbo awh.
3 Jehovah, Thine eyes, are they not on stedfastness? Thou hast smitten them, and they have not grieved, Thou hast consumed them, They have refused to receive instruction, They made their faces harder than a rock, They have refused to turn back.
Oe, BAWIPA lawkkatang teh, hmu han na ngai e nahoehmaw. Na hem awh nakunghai ka lung mathout hoeh. Na raphoe nakunghai, na tounnae hah tawm ngai awh hoeh. Lungsongpui hlak hai a pata teh, a tampanaw hah a te sak teh bout ban ngai kalawn aw hoeh.
4 And I — I said, 'Surely these [are] poor, They have been foolish, For they have not known the way of Jehovah, The judgment of their God.
Hatdawkvah, kai ni, hetnaw heh tami karoedengnaw doeh, ahnimouh teh a pathu awh, bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e lam hoi amamae Cathut lawkcengnae hah panuek awh hoeh.
5 I get me to the great, and I speak with them, For they have known the way of Jehovah, The judgment of their God.' Surely they together have broken the yoke, They have drawn away the bands.
Tami kalentoenaw koe ka cei vaiteh, ahnimouh koe lawk ka dei han. bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh ni, BAWIPA e lam hoi amamae Cathut lawkcengnae han a panue awh, telah ka ti. Hateiteh, hetnaw ni, lungthin suetalah kahnam hah a khoe awh teh, kateknae rui a rathap awh.
6 Therefore smitten them hath a lion out of the forest, A wolf of the deserts doth spoil them, A leopard is watching over their cities, Every one who is going out of them is torn, For many have been their transgressions, Mighty have been their backslidings.
Hatdawkvah, ratu thung e sendek ni ahnimouh teh a kei awh han. Asui ni a raphoe awh han. Takai ni khopui pawm vaiteh, ka tâcawt e pueng vekrasen lah a phi han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, lawkeknae hah apap teh, hnuklah kamlangnae apap poung.
7 For this I am not propitious to thee, Thy sons have forsaken Me, And are satisfied by that which is not god, I satisfy them, and they commit adultery, And at the house of a harlot They gather themselves together.
Hete hno dawk, bangtelamaw na ngaithoum thai han. Na canaw ni na ceitakhai awh teh, Cathut lah kaawmhoehnaw koe lah thoe a kâbo awh. Kaboumcalah ka kawkhik torei teh, a uicuk awh teh, tak kâyawt e im vah, a kamkhueng awh te, a yon awh.
8 Fed horses — they have been early risers, Each to the wife of his neighbour they neigh.
King kaboumlah rawca ka cat e marang patetlah ao awh, tami pueng ni amamae imri e a yunaw hah a nôe awh teh a cairing sin awh.
9 For these do I not lay a charge? An affirmation of Jehovah, And on a nation such as this, Doth not My soul avenge itself?
Hete hnonaw kecu dawkvah, ka rek mahoeh namaw telah BAWIPA ni ati, hot patet e miphun lathueng vah, ka pathung mahoeh namaw.
10 Go ye up on her walls, and destroy, And a completion make not, Turn aside her branches, for they [are] not Jehovah's,
A rapan dawkvah, kâen nateh, koung raphoe awh. Hateiteh, abuemlah teh raphoe hanh awh, a cakang hah lat awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e nahoeh.
11 For dealt treacherously against Me have the house of Israel, And the house of Judah, an affirmation of Jehovah.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarel imthung naw hoi Judah imthung ni ka lathueng vah, huenghai hawi a sak awh, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
12 They have lied against Jehovah, And they say, '[It is] not He, Nor come in against us doth evil, Yea, sword and famine we do not see.
BAWIPA teh laikathout e lah a pouk awh teh, ahni ni banghai tet katang mahoeh, rucatnae hai maimouh lathueng phat sak katang mahoeh, tahloi hoi takang hai kâhmo katang mahoeh.
13 And the prophets become wind, And the word is not in them,' — thus it is done by them.
Profetnaw teh kahlî doeh, ahnimouh dawk lawkkatang awm hoeh, hatdawkvah ahnimae a lawk teh amamouh hanelah awm yawkaw seh, ati awh.
14 Therefore, thus said Jehovah, God of Hosts, Because of your speaking this word, Lo, I am making My words in thy mouth become fire, And this people wood, and it hath devoured them.
Hatdawkvah kalvan ransabawi ni hettelah a dei, ahnimanaw ni hete lawk a dei tangcoung dawkvah, kai ni ka lawknaw heh na pahni dawk hmai lah ka o sak vaiteh he e taminaw heh thing lah kacoungsak vaiteh hmai ni koung a kak awh han.
15 Lo, I am bringing against you a nation from afar, O house of Israel, an affirmation of Jehovah, A nation — strong it [is], a nation — from of old it [is], A nation — thou knowest not its tongue, Nor understandest what it speaketh.
Oe Isarel imthungkhunaw, nangmanaw ka tuk hanelah kho hlanae koehoi miphun thasai ka kaw han, ayan hoi kaawm boi e tha kaawm poung, nangmouh ni a lawk na thai panuek awh hoeh e taminaw ka kaw han, telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
16 Its quiver [is] as an open sepulchre, All of them — mighty ones.
Ahnimae palanaw teh sut kamawng e phuen lah ao teh abuemlahoi thakasai pong e lah ao awh.
17 And it hath consumed thy harvest and thy bread, They consume thy sons, and thy daughters, It consumeth thy flock, and thy herd, It consumeth thy vine, and thy fig-tree, It maketh poor thy fenced cities, In which thou art trusting — by the sword.
Ahnimouh ni na tangcoung e cang hai na ca han e rawca pueng haiyah koung a ca vaiteh, na capanaw hoi na canunaw ni a ca awh hane hai koung a ca awh han. Na maitonaw hoi na tunaw hai a ca han, na misurkung hoi thaibunglungnaw hai a ca han, rapan ka tawn e khonaw hai telah hoi koung a raphoe awh han.
18 And even in those days, an affirmation of Jehovah, I do not make you a completion.
Hahoi teh hatnae hnin nah kai ni koung na pathup awh mahoeh, telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
19 And it hath come to pass, when ye say, 'For what hath Jehovah our God done to us all these?' That thou hast said unto them, 'As ye have forsaken Me, And serve the gods of a foreigner in your land, So do ye serve strangers in a land not yours.
Taminaw ni, bangkongmaw maimouh BAWIPA Cathut ni hettelah maimouh van hno a sak vai. Telah na pacei awh vah, nangmouh ni ahnimouh koe, “nangmouh ni kai na hnoun awh teh ramlouk cathut thaw hah na ram thung na sak van awh e patetlah, atu na ramdawk e laipalah ram alouke thaw teh na tawk a han toe teh poeh, telah BAWIPA ni a pâpho.
20 Declare ye this in the house of Jacob, And sound ye it in Judah, saying,
Hete lawk heh Jakop imthungkhu koe dei poeh, Judah ram thung vah pâpho awh.
21 Hear ye, I pray you, this, O people, foolish and without heart, Eyes they have, and they see not, Ears they have, and they hear not.
Oe nangmouh tamipathu hoi panuenae laipalah, mit na tawn awh eiteh, kahmawthoehnaw, hnâ na tawn awh eiteh kathaihoehnaw hetheh thai awh haw.
22 Me do ye not fear, an affirmation of Jehovah? From My presence are ye not pained? Who hath made sand the border of the sea, A limit age-during, and it passeth not over it, They shake themselves, and they are not able, Yea, sounded have its billows, and they pass not over.
Na taket awh hoeh maw. Telah BAWIPA ni a dei. Ka hmalah na pâyaw awh mahoeh maw. Kai ni tuipui teng vah langri hanlah sadi ka sak, tapoung thai hoeh nahan yungyoe sak hanelah ao. Tuipui tuicapa ka tho nakunghai, tapoung thai mahoeh.
23 And this people hath an apostate and rebellious heart, They have turned aside, and they go on.
Hatei ka taminaw ni a lungpata awh teh taranthawnae lungthin a tawn awh; tarantuk hanlah a yawng awh.
24 And they have not said in their heart, 'Let us fear, we pray you, Jehovah our God, who is giving rain, The sprinkling and the gathered, in its season, The appointed weeks of harvest He keepeth for us.'
Amamouh roeroe ni a lungthin hoi hai, “a tue nah hmaloe kho hoi hnuk ten kho ka rak sakkung, canga tue nah ka kesakkung, BAWIPA maimae Cathut heh takhet awh haw sei”, tet awh hoeh.
25 Your iniquities have turned these away, And your sins have kept the good from you.
Namamae na sak payonnae ni hetnaw pueng heh a kahma sak teh, na yonnae naw pueng koung a ngang.
26 For the wicked have been found among My people. It looketh about the covering of snares, They have set up a trap — men they capture.
Ka taminaw rahak vah tamikathoutnaw ao teh tangkam kapatûngnaw ni tava a pawp awh e patetlah a pawp awh teh tangkam heh a patung pouh awh.
27 As a cage full of fowls, So their houses are full of deceit, Therefore they have been great, and are rich.
Tapawm dawk tava a kawi e patetlah, a im dawk dumnae hai akawi, a bawi awh teh hnopai moikapap tawn awh.
28 They have been fat, they have shone, Yea, they have overpassed the acts of the evil, Judgment they have not judged, The judgment of the fatherless — and they prosper, And the judgment of the needy they have not judged.
Athaw awh teh minhmai a kâpi awh. Tamikathoutnaw ni sak e ka tapuetlah thoenae a sak awh, hno kathout saknae ni, na pa katawnhoehnaw koe laidei awh hoeh, roedengnaw ni hmu han kawi koelah kangdoutkhai awh hoeh.
29 For these do not I inspect, an affirmation of Jehovah, On a nation such as this, Doth not My soul avenge itself?
Hete hnonaw dawkvah sak laipalah ka o han namaw telah BAWIPA ni a dei. Het patetlae miphunnaw lathueng moipathung laipalah ka o han namaw.
30 An astonishing and horrible thing hath been in the land.
Kângairu hnonaw, hoi takikathopoung hno teh ram thungvah a sak awh.
31 The prophets have prophesied falsely, And the priests bear rule by their means, And My people have loved [it] so, And what do they at its latter end?
Profetnaw ni laithoe a dei awh teh, vaihmanaw ni amamae kâ lahoi a uk awh. Het patetlae naw hah ka taminaw ni a lungpataw awh. Hatei a poutnae koe lah teh bangmaw na sak awh han.
