Jeremiah 31
1 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.
At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.
2 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.
Thus saith the LORD, The people [which were] left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; [even] Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.
3 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.
The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, [saying], Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
4 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.
Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.
5 Samaria tlang ah misur koep na phung te a phung, a phung uh vetih a poek a yak uh ni.
Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat [them] as common things.
6 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.
For there shall be a day, [that] the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God.
7 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.
For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.
8 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.
Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, [and] with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.
9 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.
They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim [is] my firstborn.
10 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.
Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare [it] in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd [doth] his flock.
11 BOEIPA loh Jakob te a lat tih anih lakah tlungluen kut lamloh a tlan coeng.
For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of [him that was] stronger than he.
12 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.
Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
13 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.
Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
14 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.
And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD.
15 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.
Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, [and] bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they [were] not.
16 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.
Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
17 BOEIPA kah olphong bangla na hmailong ham ngaiuepnah om tangloeng coeng tih ca rhoek khaw a khorhi la mael uh bitni.
And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that thy children shall come again to their own border.
18 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.
I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself [thus; ] Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed [to the yoke: ] turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou [art] the LORD my God.
19 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.
Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon [my] thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.
20 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.
[Is] Ephraim my dear son? [is he] a pleasant child? for since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the LORD.
21 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.
Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine heart toward the highway, [even] the way [which] thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.
22 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.
How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.
23 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.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The LORD bless thee, O habitation of justice, [and] mountain of holiness.
24 Te vaengah Judah amah neh a khopuei boeih ah tun kho a sak uh lopho khaw tuping neh ha hlah uh ni.
And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they [that] go forth with flocks.
25 Buhmueh rhathih kah a hinglu te ka sulpuem sak vetih aka kha kah hinglu te boeih ka cung sak ni.
For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
26 Ka haenghang vaengah he khaw ka sawt tih ka ih khaw kai ham tui mai.
Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me.
27 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.
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.
28 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.
And it shall come to pass, [that] like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the LORD.
29 Te khohnin ah tah, “A napa rhoek loh thaihkang a caak uh tih a ca rhoek a no yaa,” ti uh voel mahpawh.
In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.
30 Tedae hlang he amah kathaesainah dongah ni a duek eh. Thaihkang aka ca hlang boeih tah a no yaa ni.
But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
31 BOEIPA kah olphong khohnin tah ha pawk coeng ke. Israel imkhui taeng neh Judah imkhui taengah paipi thai ka saii ni.
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 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.
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 my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
33 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.
But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 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.
And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
35 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.
Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, [and] the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts [is] his name:
36 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.
If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, [then] the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.
37 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.
Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.
38 BOEIPA kah olphong khohnin ha pawk coeng ke. Te vaengah bangkil vongka kah Hananel rhaltoengim lamloh BOEIPA ham khopuei a thoh ni.
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the city shall be built to the LORD from the tower of Hananeel unto the gate of the corner.
39 Gareb som te a hmai la rhilam rhui sen a toe thil vetih Goah duela a vael ni.
And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it upon the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath.
40 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.
And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east, [shall be] holy unto the LORD; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.
