Jeremiah 1
1 Benjamin ram Anathoth e vaihma Hilkiah capa Jeremiah e lawk,
The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that [were] in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
2 Judah siangpahrang Ammon capa Josiah a bawinae kum hrahlaikathum nah ahni koe BAWIPA e lawk teh a pha.
To whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
3 Judah siangpahrang Josiah capa Jehoiakim a bawi navah, Judah siangpahrang Josiah capa Zedekiah a bawinae kum hrahlaibun abaw totouh hoi Jerusalem san la a ceikhainae thapa yung panganae totouh hai lawk te a pha.
It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, to the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
4 Hottelah BAWIPA e lawk teh kai koe a pha teh,
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
5 Von thung na sak hoehnahlan patenghai na panue toe. Camoim dawk hoi na tâco hoehnahlan patenghai na thoung sak teh, miphun naw koe profet lah o hane na cak sak toe, telah a ti.
Before I formed thee in embryo I knew thee; and before thou wast born I sanctified thee, [and] I ordained thee a prophet to the nations.
6 Kai ni aya! Bawipa Jehovah khenhaw! lawk ka dei thai mahoeh, bangkongtetpawiteh, ka nawca rah telah ka ti.
Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I [am] a child.
7 Hateiteh BAWIPA ni kai koevah, kanawca rah tet hanh, bangkongtetpawiteh, na patoun e pueng koe na cei vaiteh, kâ na poe e pueng hah na dei han.
But the LORD said to me, Say not, I [am] a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatever I command thee thou shalt speak.
8 Ahnimanaw e minhmai hah, taket hanh, bangkongtetpawiteh, nang na rungngang hanelah, nang koe kai ka o telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
Be not afraid of their faces: for I [am] with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
9 Hottelah, BAWIPA ni a kut a pho teh, ka pahni hah a tek. BAWIPA ni kai koe khenhaw! na kâko dawk ka lawk teh, ka hruek toe.
Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said to me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
10 Khenhaw! miphunnaw hoi siangpahrang uknaeram thung vah, phawk vaiteh, rawp sak han, raphoe vaiteh tâkhawng han, kangdue sak vaiteh ung hanelah, sahnin totouh hoi kai ni na rawi toe telah a ti.
See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
11 Hahoi BAWIPA e lawk teh kai koe a pha teh, Jeremiah bangmaw na hmu telah ati. Kai ni, Almond thing kang ka hmu, telah ka ti.
Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Jeremiah, What seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond-tree.
12 BAWIPA ni kai koe vah na hmu e teh ahawi, bangkongtetpawiteh, ka lawk teh, sak hanelah coungkacoe ka o telah a ti.
Then said the LORD to me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.
13 BAWIPA lawk teh apâhni e kai koe a phateh, bangmaw na hmu telah ati. Kai ni ka tangdawk e hlaam, atung lah kangvawi e hah ka hmu, telah ka ti.
And the word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot; and its face [is] towards the north.
14 BAWIPA ni kai koevah, ram thung e kaawmnaw pueng hanelah, atunglah hoi rawknae a pha han.
Then the LORD said to me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
15 Khenhaw! atunglae uknaeram imthungnaw pueng hah, ka kaw han telah BAWIPA ni a dei. A tho awh vaiteh, Jerusalem kâennae longkha atengpam kalupnae tapangnaw pueng hoi Judah khopuinaw pueng dawk a bawitungkhung hah a hruek han.
For lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls around, and against all the cities of Judah.
16 Kai na pahnawt awh teh, cathut alouke koe hmuitui hmai a sawi awh te, amamae kut hoi a sak awh e hah, a bawk awh dawkvah, amamae yonnae a lathueng vah, kaie lawkcengnae ka pâpho han.
And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, and worshiped the works of their own hands.
17 Hatdawkvah, coungkacoe awm nateh thaw, kâ na poe e naw pueng hah, ahnimouh koe dei. Ahnimae hmalah takinae tawn hanh telah nahoeh pawiteh, ahnimae hmalah takinae hoi na o sak han.
Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak to them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.
18 Khenhaw! sahnin e a hnin dawk, hete ram pueng hoi, Judah Siangpahrang hoi, kahrawikungnaw hoi, vaihmanaw hoi, hote ramnaw thung e rapan ka tawn e khopuinaw hoi, sumkhom hoi, rahumtapang lah na sak toe.
For behold, I have made thee this day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against her princes, against her priests, and against the people of the land.
19 Nang teh na tuk awh han, hatei na tâ awh mahoeh, bangkongtetpawiteh, nang rungngang hanelah nang koe ka o, telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I [am] with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.
