Jeremiah 15
1 BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Moses neh Samuel pataeng ka mikhmuh ah pai cakhaw pilnam taengah he ka hinglu a om moenih. Ka mikhmuh lamloh tueih lamtah coe uh saeh.
Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.
2 Tedae nang taengah, “Melam ka coe uh eh?” a ti uh atah amih te thui pah. He tah BOEIPA long ni a thui. Dueknah dongkah ham rhoek te dueknah dongla, cunghang dongkah ham rhoek te cunghang dongla, khokha dongkah ham rhoek te khokha dongla, tamna ham rhoek te tamna la om ni.
And it shall come to pass, when they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD: Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for captivity, to captivity.
3 BOEIPA kah olphong hui tah pali om tih, cunghang neh ngawn ham, ui loh a koeng ham, vaan kah vaa neh diklai rhamsa loh a ngaeh ham neh thup ham te amih ka cawh thil ni.
And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and to destroy.
4 Judah manghai Hezekiah capa Manasseh loh Jerusalem kah a saii kong ah amih te diklai ram boeih ah tonganah neh ngaihuetnah la ka khueh ni.
And I will cause them to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
5 Jerusalem nang soah, unim lungma aka ti vetih, nang hamla unim aka rhaehba ve? Nang kah sadingnah bih ham, unim aka nong ve?
For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall turn aside to ask of thy welfare?
6 Kai he nan phap uh tih a hnuk la na pongpa uh akhaw BOEIPA kah olphong om. Te dongah ka kut he nang soah ka thueng ni. Kohlawt khaw ka ngak coeng dongah nang kan thup ni.
Thou hast rejected me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore have I stretched out my hand against thee, and destroyed thee; I am weary with repenting.
7 Amih te khohmuen vongka ah rha neh ka yah ni. Ka pilnam he a longpuei lamloh ha bal uh pawt cakol la ka milh sak ni.
And I have fanned them with a fan in the gates of the land; I have bereaved [them] of children, I have destroyed my people; they have not returned from their ways.
8 A taengkah nuhmai te tuitunli kah laivin lakah ka tahoeng sak ni. A manu taengah khothun kah aka rhoelrhak tongpang ka khuen pah ni. Khopuei kah lungmitnah te a soah buengrhuet ka cuhu sak ni.
Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused anguish and terrors to fall upon her suddenly.
9 Parhih aka cun khaw tahah vetih a hil awt ni. Khothaih pueng ah a khomik te tla rhoe tla vetih yahpoh neh ngam ni. cunghang lamloh a meet te a thunkha kah mikhmuh ah ka paek ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni,” a ti.
She that hath borne seven languisheth; she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day; she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.
10 Anunae kai aih he. A nu nang loh, kai he khohmuen tom neh tuituknah kah hlang neh olpungkacan kah hlang lam nim nan cun. Ka pu pawt tih kai taengah pu pawt dae a pum la kai n'tap uh.
Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have not lent on usury, neither have men lent to me on usury; [yet] every one of them doth curse me.
11 BOEIPA loh, “Nang he kan hlah rhoe kan hlah tang mahpawt nim? A then ham tah yoethae tue vaengah, thunkha neh citcai tue vaengah nang te kan doo tang mahpawt nim?
The LORD said, Verily I will strengthen thee for good; verily I will cause the enemy to make supplication unto thee in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
12 Tlangpuei lamkah thi loh thi neh rhohum a khaem thai a?
Can one break iron, even iron from the north, and brass?
13 Na khorhi tom kah na tholhnah cungkuem dongah mah na khuehtawn neh na thakvoh khaw maeh la ka mop vetih a phu om mahpawh.
Thy substance and thy treasures will I give for a spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders.
14 Ming pawt khohmuen kah na thunkha te kam paan sak ni. Ka thintoek hmai neh nangmih kan hlae vetih na ung uh ni.
And I will make [them] to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you.
15 BOEIPA namah loh na ming. Kai m'poek lamtah kai he n'hip mai. Kai aka hloem rhoek soah kai yueng la phulo nawn. Na thintoek a ueh pawt dongah nim kai nan loh. Nang ham kokhahnah ka phueih he poek.
O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered reproach.
16 Na ol a hmuh uh coeng dongah te ni ka caak. Na ol tah na ol la a om dongah kai ham omngaihnah neh ka thinko kohoenah la poeh. Kai taengah caempuei Pathen BOEIPA namah ming ni a khue.
Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy words were unto me a joy and the rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.
17 Aka luem tih ka sundaep rhoek kah baecenol dongah ka nuen moenih. Kai he kosi nan hah sak dongah na kut dong bueng ah ni ka ngol.
I sat not in the assembly of them that make merry, nor rejoiced: I sat alone because of thy hand; for thou hast filled me with indignation.
18 Balae tih ka thakkhoeihnah om yoeyah a? Ka hmasoe neh aka rhawp loh hoeih ham a aal. Cak uh pawt tih tui hong bangla kai taengah na om khaw na om ve.
Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou indeed be unto me as a deceitful [brook], as waters that fail?
19 Te dongah BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Na mael tih nang taengla ka mael daengah ni ka mikhmuh ah na pai eh. Carhut lakah a phu aka tlo ha thoeng atah kamah ka bangla na om ni. Amih te nang taengla ha mael cakhaw nang te amih taengla na mael mahpawh.
Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, that thou mayest stand before me; and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: they shall return unto thee, but thou shalt not return unto them.
20 Nang tah pilnam taengah he rhohum vongtung neh a cakrhuet la kang khueh ni. Nang m'vathoh thil cakhaw nang te n'noeng uh mahpawh. Nang khang ham neh nang huul hamla nang taengah ka om. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall; and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
21 Te dongah boethae kah kutrham lamloh nang kang huul vetih hlanghaeng kah kutpha lamloh nang kan tlan ni.
And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.
