< Jeremiah 31 >

1 “At that time,” says Yahweh, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.”
Te vaengkah a tue ah BOEIPA kah olphong om coeng. Israel cako boeih kah Pathen la ka om vetih amih te kamah taengah pilnam la om uh ni.
2 Yahweh says, “The people who survive the sword found favor in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.”
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Cunghang kah a caknoi pilnam tah khosoek ah mikdaithen la a hmuh vetih Israel amah te hoep ham ni a pongpa eh.
3 Yahweh appeared of old to me, saying, “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore I have drawn you with loving kindness.
BOEIPA tah kai taengah daengrhae daengkhoi la ha phoe coeng dongah kumhal kah lungnah neh nang kan lungnah tih sitlohnah neh nang kan dangrhoek tangloeng coeng.
4 I will build you again, and you will be built, O virgin of Israel. You will again be adorned with your tambourines, and will go out in the dances of those who make merry.
Israel oila nang te koep kan thoh vetih na thoo bitni. Na kamrhing te koep na oi vetih lamnah dongah na luem doela na pawk bitni.
5 Again you will plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria. The planters will plant, and will enjoy its fruit.
Samaria tlang ah misur koep na phung te a phung, a phung uh vetih a poek a yak uh ni.
6 For there will be a day that the watchmen on the hills of Ephraim cry, ‘Arise! Let’s go up to Zion to Yahweh our God.’”
Ephraim tlang kah aka dawn rhoek loh, “Thoo uh lamtah mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA taengah Zion la cet uh sih,” tila a hoe uh khohnin khaw om bitni.
7 For Yahweh says, “Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout for the chief of the nations. Publish, praise, and say, ‘Yahweh, save your people, the remnant of Israel!’
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Jakob ham tamhoe uh lamtah kohoenah neh hlampan uh. Namtom boeilu te yaak sak lamtah a thangthen neh, “BOEIPA aw na pilnam Israel kah a meet te khang laeh,” ti saeh.
8 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth, along with the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her who travails with child together. They will return as a great company.
Amih te tlangpuei khohmuen lamloh kang khuen coeng he. Te dongah amih te diklai a hlaep lamloh ka coi ni. Amih taengkah mikdael neh khokhaem khaw, aka vawn neh cacun khaw hlangping la muep ha mael uh rhenten ni.
9 They will come with weeping. I will lead them with petitions. I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they won’t stumble; for I am a father to Israel. Ephraim is my firstborn.
Rhahnah neh ha pawk uh cakhaw amih huithuinah neh ka khuen ni. Amih te soklong tui ah ka pongpa puei vetih, a thuem longpuei ah paloe uh mahpawh. Israel taengah ana pa la ka om tih Ephriam te ka caming ni.
10 “Hear Yahweh’s word, you nations, and declare it in the distant islands. Say, ‘He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd does his flock.’
Namtom rhoek BOEIPA ol he hnatun uh. Khohla bangsang kah sanglak ah khaw puen uh lamtah Israel khuikah a thaekyak te thui pah. Anih te a coi vetih a tuping aka dawn bangla anih te a ngaithuen ni.
11 For Yahweh has ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of him who was stronger than he.
BOEIPA loh Jakob te a lat tih anih lakah tlungluen kut lamloh a tlan coeng.
12 They will come and sing in the height of Zion, and will flow to the goodness of Yahweh, to the grain, to the new wine, to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd. Their soul will be as a watered garden. They will not sorrow any more at all.
Ha pawk uh vaengah Zion hmuensang ah tamhoe uh ni. BOEIPA kah thennah dongah, cangpai dongah, misur thai dongah, situi dongah, boiva neh saelhung ca dongah hlampan uh ni. A hingah te khosul dum bangla om vetih a kha koep ham koei mahpawh.
13 Then the virgin will rejoice in the dance, the young men and the old together; for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
Te vaengah oila khaw tongpang neh patong taengah lamnah neh thikat la a kohoe ni. Amih kah nguekcoinah te omngaihnah la ka hoi pah vetih amih te ka hloep ni. Amih kah kothaenah yueng la amih ko ka hoe sak ni.
14 I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people will be satisfied with my goodness,” says Yahweh.
Khosoih rhoek kah hinglu te maehhloi neh ka sulpuem sak vetih ka pilnam khaw ka thennah neh cung uh ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
15 Yahweh says: “A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children. She refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more.”
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Ramah ah rhathinah ol a yaak. Rakhel tah a ca rhoek ham kosidung kah rhahnah neh rhap coeng. A ca rhoek a om pawt dongah kohlawt ham khaw a aal coeng.
16 Yahweh says: “Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears, for your work will be rewarded,” says Yahweh. “They will come again from the land of the enemy.
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Na ol te rhahnah lamloh, na mik te khaw mikphi lamloh tuem laeh. BOEIPA kah olphong bangla na khoboe ham thapang om vetih thunkha khohmuen lamloh ha mael uh bitni.
17 There is hope for your latter end,” says Yahweh. “Your children will come again to their own territory.
BOEIPA kah olphong bangla na hmailong ham ngaiuepnah om tangloeng coeng tih ca rhoek khaw a khorhi la mael uh bitni.
18 “I have surely heard Ephraim grieving thus, ‘You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as an untrained calf. Turn me, and I will be turned, for you are Yahweh my God.
Ephraim kah a rhaehba te a yaak rhoela ka yaak coeng. Kai nan thuituen vaengah a phaep noek pawh vaitoca bangla n'thuituen coeng. Namah tah BOEIPA ka Pathen la na om dongah kai m'mael sak lamtah ka mael pawn eh.
19 Surely after that I was turned. I repented. After that I was instructed. I struck my thigh. I was ashamed, yes, even confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth.’
Ka mael hnukah ni damti coeng. Ka hlit dongkah kutpaeng khaw ka ming phoeiah ni ka yah pueng. Ka camoe lamkah kokhahnah te ka phueih tih ka hmaithae coeng.
20 Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he a darling child? For as often as I speak against him, I still earnestly remember him. Therefore my heart yearns for him. I will surely have mercy on him,” says Yahweh.
Ephraim he kamah taengkah oingaih capa maco? Anih te ka thui dingdoeng vaengah khaw hlahmaenah camoe ni. Te dongah anih te ka poek rhoe ka poek pueng. Ka ko anih hamla umya tih anih te haidam rhoela ka haidam coeng. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
21 “Set up road signs. Make guideposts. Set your heart toward the highway, even the way by which you went. Turn again, virgin of Israel. Turn again to these your cities.
Namah ham pangkae te ling lamtah miknawt khaw namah ham khueh laeh. Longpuei lamhlawn te na lungbuei ah dueh lamtah pongpa rhoe pongpa laeh. Israel oila ha mael lamtah na khopuei ah he ha mael laeh.
22 How long will you go here and there, you backsliding daughter? For Yahweh has created a new thing in the earth: a woman will encompass a man.”
Hnukmael canu te me hil nim na dongpam ve? BOEIPA loh diklai dongah a thai la a suen vetih huta tongpa loh a vael bitni.
23 Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Yet again they will use this speech in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I reverse their captivity: ‘Yahweh bless you, habitation of righteousness, mountain of holiness.’
Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. He ol he Judah kho khui neh a khopuei rhoek khuiah koep a thui uh vaengah amih khuikah thongtla te kai taengla ha mael ni. Duengnah tlang cim tolkhoeng dongkah BOEIPA loh nang n'uem nawn saeh.
24 Judah and all its cities will dwell therein together, the farmers, and those who go about with flocks.
Te vaengah Judah amah neh a khopuei boeih ah tun kho a sak uh lopho khaw tuping neh ha hlah uh ni.
25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.”
Buhmueh rhathih kah a hinglu te ka sulpuem sak vetih aka kha kah hinglu te boeih ka cung sak ni.
26 On this I awakened, and saw; and my sleep was sweet to me.
Ka haenghang vaengah he khaw ka sawt tih ka ih khaw kai ham tui mai.
27 “Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and with the seed of animal.
BOEIPA kah olphong khohnin ha pawk coeng ke. Israel imkhui neh Judah imkhui khaw, hlang kah tiingan neh rhamsa kah tiingan khaw ka phul pueng ni.
28 It will happen that, like as I have watched over them to pluck up and to break down and to overthrow and to destroy and to afflict, so I will watch over them to build and to plant,” says Yahweh.
Phuk ham neh phil ham khaw, koengloeng ham neh milh sak ham khaw, thaehuet ham khaw amih ka hak thil bangla thoeng van. Te dongah thoh ham neh phung ham khaw amih te ka hak thil ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
29 “In those days they will say no more, “‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.’
Te khohnin ah tah, “A napa rhoek loh thaihkang a caak uh tih a ca rhoek a no yaa,” ti uh voel mahpawh.
30 But everyone will die for his own iniquity. Every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth will be set on edge.
Tedae hlang he amah kathaesainah dongah ni a duek eh. Thaihkang aka ca hlang boeih tah a no yaa ni.
31 “Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah,
BOEIPA kah olphong khohnin tah ha pawk coeng ke. Israel imkhui taeng neh Judah imkhui taengah paipi thai ka saii ni.
32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, which covenant of mine they broke, although I was a husband to them,” says Yahweh.
Egypt kho lamloh amih khuen ham a kut ah ka talong khohnin vaengkah a napa rhoek neh ka saii paipi bang te moenih. Amih loh ka paipi he phae cakhaw kai amih te ka yuunah ngawn ta. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
33 “But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says Yahweh: “I will put my law in their inward parts, and I will write it in their heart. I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Tedae paipi he Israel imkhui neh ka saii phoeikah khohnin ah tah ka olkhueng he amih kotak khuiah ka paek vetih a lungbuei ah ka daek pah ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Amih taengah Pathen la ka om vetih amih khaw kamah taengah pilnam la om uh ni.
34 They will no longer each teach his neighbor, and every man teach his brother, saying, ‘Know Yahweh;’ for they will all know me, from their least to their greatest,” says Yahweh, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
Hlang loh a hui te koep tukkil uh pawt vetih hlang loh a manuca te, “BOEIPA te ming laeh,” ti nah mahpawh. Amih te tanoe lamloh kangham duela kai boeih m'ming uh ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Amih kathaesainah te khodawk ka ngai vetih a tholhnah te ka poek voel mahpawh.
35 Yahweh, who gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar— Yahweh of Armies is his name, says:
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Khothaih kah vangnah ham khomik, khoyin kah vangnah ham hla neh aisi kah khosing khaw a khueh. Tuitunli te a kueng tih a tuiphu khaw kawk coeng. A ming tah caempuei BOEIPA ni.
36 “If these ordinances depart from before me,” says Yahweh, “then the offspring of Israel also will cease from being a nation before me forever.”
He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Oltlueh he ka mikhmuh lamloh khum koinih hnin takuem ka mikhmuh ah namtu la aka om Israel tiingan khaw kangkuen uh ni.
37 Yahweh says: “If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, then I will also cast off all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done,” says Yahweh.
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Vaan ke a so la a nueh uh thai tih diklai a yung hmui duela a khe uh thai mak atah Israel kah tiingan boeih te a saii cungkuem dongah ka hnawt van bitni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
38 “Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that the city will be built to Yahweh from the tower of Hananel to the gate of the corner.
BOEIPA kah olphong khohnin ha pawk coeng ke. Te vaengah bangkil vongka kah Hananel rhaltoengim lamloh BOEIPA ham khopuei a thoh ni.
39 The measuring line will go out further straight onward to the hill Gareb, and will turn toward Goah.
Gareb som te a hmai la rhilam rhui sen a toe thil vetih Goah duela a vael ni.
40 The whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields to the brook Kidron, to the corner of the horse gate toward the east, will be holy to Yahweh. It will not be plucked up or thrown down any more forever.”
Rhok neh maehhloi aka om tuikol boeih, lohmali neh hmangrhong boeih khaw, Kidron soklong neh khothoeng kah marhang vongka bangkil duela BOEIPA ham hmuencim la om ni. Kumhal duela koep kuel pawt vetih koengloeng voel mahpawh.
