Jeremiah 17
1 Judah zaehaih loe sum cacung, diamond thlung kamsum hoiah tarik pae boeh, na hmaicam takiinawk nuiah tarik ih baktiah nihcae palung thungah tarik pae boeh;
The sin of Judah [is] written with a pen of iron, [and] with the point of a diamond: [it is] graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;
2 a caanawk mah doeh maesom nui ih kahing thingnawk taengah, angmacae ih hmaicamnawk to suek o moe, thing hoi sak o cop ih krangnawk to bok o.
Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills.
3 Aw kai ih mae, azawn ih hmuenmaenawk, na tawnh ih tacongnawk hoi na prae thungah zae sak haih hmuensangnawk boih to na misanawk ban ah ka paek han boeh.
O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance [and] all thy treasures to the spoil, [and] thy high places for sin, throughout all thy borders.
4 Kang paek ih qawk to na pathlong ving tih boeh; kadueh thai ai palung ka phuihaih hmai baktiah angqong hanah na sak pongah, na panoek ai ih prae ah na misanawk ih misong ah kang suek han.
And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, [which] shall burn for ever.
5 Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Angraeng khae hoi poek amkhraeng ving moe, minawk oep lat kami, taksa thacakhaih oep kami loe kasae tongh kami ah oh.
Thus saith the LORD; Cursed [be] the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
6 Anih loe long karoem ahmuen ih thing kazaek baktiah oh, khosak hoihaih hnu mak ai; anih loe kami om ai paloi long hoi praezaek ahmuen ah khosah tih.
For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, [in] a salt land and not inhabited.
7 Toe Angraeng khaeah amha moe, anih oephaih tawn kami loe tahamhoih.
Blessed [is] the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
8 Anih loe tui taengah thling moe, tuipui ah tangzun pakhrah, ni kana panoek ai, aqam kahing poe, khokha naah mawnhaih tawn ai, boeng ai ah kathai, thing baktiah om tih.
For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and [that] spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
9 Palung loe hmuennawk boih thungah aling thaih koek ah oh; poekhaih doeh set parai, mi mah maw anih to panoek thai tih?
The heart [is] deceitful above all [things], and desperately wicked: who can know it?
10 Kai, Angraeng loe kami boih a caeh o haih loklam baktih, a sak o ih hmuen baktih toengah paek hanah, poekhaih to ka khet moe, palungthin to ni ka caek.
I the LORD search the heart, [I] try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, [and] according to the fruit of his doings.
11 Toenghaih loklam hoi na ai ah hmuenmae pakrong pongah, angraeng kami loe acaa khaek thai mak ai, angmah ih tadui awh ai tavaa baktiah ni oh; a hinghaih saning ahap phak naah, minawk mah caeh o taak tih, anih amthuhaih loe hnukkhuem ah amtueng tih.
[As] the partridge sitteth [on eggs], and hatcheth [them] not; [so] he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.
12 Tangsuek hoi kaom lensawk kasang angraeng tangkhang loe, kaicae ih hmuenciim ah oh.
A glorious high throne from the beginning [is] the place of our sanctuary.
13 Aw Angraeng, Israel caanawk oephaih, Nang pahnawt kaminawk boih loe azathaih tong o tih; ka thuih ih lok angqoi taak kaminawk loe hinghaih tuibap ah kaom, Angraeng to pahnawt o ving pongah, long ah ahmin tarik o tih.
O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, [and] they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
14 Aw Angraeng, ka nathaih hae hoisak ah; to tih nahaeloe ngan ka tui tih boeh; na pahlong ah, to tih nahaeloe pahlong ah ka om tih, nang loe ka pakoehhaih ah na oh.
Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou [art] my praise.
15 Khenah, nihcae mah kai khaeah, Angraeng ih lok loe naa ah maw oh? Vaihi akoep lai nasoe, tiah ang naa o.
Behold, they say unto me, Where [is] the word of the LORD? let it come now.
16 Kai loe nang hnuk ah kabang zaehoikung ah oh hanah kang aek ai; kai loe tahamsethaih ani koeh ai kami ah ka oh, tiah na panoek; ka pakha hoi tacawt lok loe na hmaa ah oh.
As for me, I have not hastened from [being] a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was [right] before thee.
17 Kai han zit koi hmuen ah om hmah; kam rohaih niah nang loe ka buephaih ah na oh.
Be not a terror unto me: thou [art] my hope in the day of evil.
18 Kai pacaekthlaek kaminawk loe azathaih tong o nasoe, toe kai loe azathaih na tongsak hmah; nihcae to zithaih hoiah koisak ah, toe kai loe ziisak hmah; nihcae nuiah amrohaih ani to phasak ah loe, nihcae to alet hnetto amrohaih phasak ah.
Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
19 Angraeng mah kai khaeah hae tiah thuih; Caeh ah loe, Judah siangpahrangnawk akunhaih hoi tacawthaih khongkha, nawktanawk ih khongkha hoi Jerusalem ih khongkhanawk boih ah angdoe ah,
Thus said the LORD unto me; Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
20 nihcae khaeah, Hae khongkha hoiah akun, Judah siangpahrangnawk, Judah kaminawk boih, Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk boih, Angraeng ih lok hae tahngai oh;
And say unto them, Hear ye the word of the LORD, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:
21 Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Sabbath niah kazit hmuen to phaw o hmah, Jerusalem khongkha thung hoiah kawbaktih hmuen doeh sin han ai ah, acoe oh:
Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring [it] in by the gates of Jerusalem;
22 Sabbath niah imthung hoi kazit hmuen to phaw o hmah, tok doeh sah o hmah, nam panawk khaeah ka thuih pae ih lok baktih toengah, Sabbath ni to kaciim ah zaa oh.
Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.
23 Toe nihcae mah tahngai o ai, naa doeh patueng o ai; a thaih o han ai, thuitaekhaih lok talawk o han ai ah, tahnong to amtaak o sak.
But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.
24 Toe Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; ka lok hae na tahngaih o moe, Sabbath niah hae khongkhanawk hoiah kazit hmuen na sin o ai, toksah ai ah Sabbath ni to kaciim ah na zah o nahaeloe,
And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;
25 David ih angraeng tangkhang pongah anghnu, siangpahrang hoi siangpahrang capanawk, hrang lakok hoi hrang angthueng kaminawk, angmacae hoi angmacae ukkung angraengnawk, Judah kaminawk hoi Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk loe, hae khongkhanawk hoiah akun o tih, hae vangpui doeh dungzan khoek to cak poe tih.
Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.
26 Judah avang, Jerusalem taeng ih avang, Benjamin prae ih avang, tangtling ah kaom avang, mae nui hoi aloih bang prae ah kaom kaminawk loe Angraeng ih im ah angzo o tih. Nihcae loe angbawnhaih congca, hmai angbawnhaih, moi angbawnhaih, hmuihoih angbawnhaih, pakoeh angbawnhaih to sin o tih.
And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, unto the house of the LORD.
27 Toe Sabbath niah hmuen phawh moe, Jerusalem khongkha ah akun pacoengah, Sabbath ni to kaciim ah zah han oh; ka paek ih lok to tahngai ai nahaeloe, to ih khongkhanawk to hmai hoiah ka thlaek han, kadueh thai ai hmai mah Jerusalem angraeng ohhaih ahmuennawk to kang boih tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
