Jeremiah 22
1 Thus said the LORD: "Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,
He ni BOEIPA loh a thui. Judah manghai im ah cet lamtah he ol he pahoi thui pah.
2 Say, 'Hear the word of the LORD, king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people who enter in by these gates.
Te vaengah, “David ngolkhoel ah aka ngol Judah manghai nang neh, na sal rhoek, he vongka longah aka pawk na pilnam loh BOEIPA ol hnatun uh,’ ti nah.
3 Thus says the LORD: "Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence, to the foreigner, the fatherless, nor the widow; neither shed innocent blood in this place.
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Tiktamnah neh duengnah te saii lamtah haemtaekkung kut lamkah a rheth rhoek te huul laeh. Yinlai cadah neh nuhmai te vuelvaek boel lamtah huet boeh. He hmuen ah ommongsitoe thii te long sak boeh.
4 For if you do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.
He kah ol he na vai rhoe na vai van daengah ni David kah a ngolkhoel dongah aka ngol manghai rhoek khaw, leng dong neh a marhang dongah aka ngol a sal khaw, a sal rhoek neh a pilnam khaw he im vongka lamloh a pongpa eh.
5 But if you will not hear these words, I swear by myself, says the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation."
Tedae he ol he na ngai pawt atah kamah loh BOEIPA kah olphong neh ka toemngam coeng dongah he im he imrhong la poeh ni.
6 For thus says the LORD concerning the house of the king of Judah: "You are Gilead to me, the head of Lebanon. Yet surely I will make you a wilderness, cities which are not inhabited.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Gilead kah Judah manghai im te a thui. Nang tah kai taengah Lebanon som bangla na om cakhaw nang te khopuei khosoek la ka khueh pawt vetih khosa rhoek loh khosa uh mahpawt nim?
7 I will prepare destroyers against you, everyone with his weapons; and they shall cut down your choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.
Nang te hlang kutyook la kang hoep vetih a hnopai neh na lamphai thinghloe te a vung phoeiah hmai khuila a voeih ni.
8 Many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbor, 'Why has the LORD done thus to this great city?'
He khopuei te namtom loh muep a poeng vaengah hlang loh a hui taengah, “Balae tih BOEIPA loh he khopuei tanglue taengah he he a saii?” a ti uh ni.
9 Then they shall answer, 'Because they forsook the covenant of the LORD their God, and worshiped other gods, and served them.'
Te vaengah, “A Pathen BOEIPA kah paipi te a hnoo uh tih pathen tloe te a bawk uh, amih taengla tho a thueng uh dongah,” a ti uh ni.
10 Do not weep for the dead, neither bemoan him; but weep bitterly for him who goes away; for he shall return no more, nor see his native country."
Aka duek ham te rhap uh boel lamtah anih te suem uh boeh. Aka cet ham te rhap lammah rhap uh. Koep ha mael hae pawt vetih a pacaboeina kah khohmuen te hmu voel mahpawh.
11 For thus says the LORD touching Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and who went forth out of this place: "He shall not return there any more.
He tah a napa Josiah yueng la aka manghai, Judah manghai Josiah capa Shallum kawng ni BOEIPA loh a thui. Anih tah he hmuen lamloh nong coeng tih he la koep ha pawk voel mahpawh.
12 But in the place where they have led him captive, there shall he die, and he shall see this land no more."
Tedae te hmuen ah anih te a poelyoe uh vetih pahoi duek ni. Te vaengah he khohmuen he hmu voel mahpawh.
13 Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his rooms by injustice; who uses his neighbor's service without wages, and doesn't give him his hire;
Anunae a im aka thoh khaw duengnah nen moenih. Te dongah a imhman khaw tiktamnah neh om pawh. A hui te a hoeihae la thotat tih anih te a bisai pang pae pawh.
14 who says, "I will build me a wide house and spacious rooms," and cuts him out windows; and it is ceiling with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
Kamah ham im len ka thoh eh aka ti tih imhman aka hoengpoek sak loh amah ham tah bangbuet te a buet phoeiah lamphai neh a ci tih pangcik neh a koelh.
15 Shall you reign, because you strive to excel in cedar? Did not your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him.
Nang na manghai dongah nim na pa kah lamphai dongah a lungoe. A caak tih a ok moenih a? Duengnah neh tiktamnah a saii dongah maco anih ham a then tangloeng te.
16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Wasn't this to know me?' says the LORD.
Mangdaeng neh khodaeng kah dumlai dongah a laitloek then tangloeng. Te khaw kamah kah mingnah moenih a? He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
17 "But your eyes and your heart are not but for your covetousness, and for shedding innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it."
Na mik neh na lungbuei om pawt tih ommongsitoe thii long sak ham dongah, hnaemtaeknah dongah, phaepnah saii ham bueng ni na mueluemnah te.
18 Therefore thus says the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: "they shall not lament for him, saying, 'Alas my brother. or, Alas sister.' They shall not lament for him, saying, 'Alas lord.' or, 'Alas his majesty.'
Te dongah BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Judah manghai Josiah capa Jehoiakim kawng dongah anih te rhaengsae uh mahpawh. Anunae ka manuca neh anunae ka ngannu aih anih te rhaengsae uh mahpawh. Anunae boeipa neh anunae a mueithennah aih.
19 He shall be buried with the burial of a donkey, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
Jerusalem vongka kah a voel la voeih ham a sol vetih laak kah phuel ah a up ni.
20 Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up your voice in Bashan, and cry from Abarim; for all your lovers are destroyed.
Lebanon la cet lamtah pang lah. Bashan ah na ol huel lamtah Abarim lamloh pang laeh. Na lungnah boeih khaw khaem uh coeng.
21 I spoke to you in your prosperity; but you said, 'I will not hear.' This has been your way from your youth, that you did not obey my voice.
Na ommongnah khuiah nang te kan thui coeng dae, “Ka hnatun mahpawh,” na ti. Ka ol na hnatun pawt khaw na camoe lamkah na longpuei rhoe ni he.
22 The wind shall feed all your shepherds, and your lovers shall go into captivity: surely then you will be ashamed and confounded for all your wickedness.
Nang aka dawn boeih khaw khohli loh a luem puei vetih nang aka lungnah te tamna la cet uh ni. Te vaengah na yak uh vetih na boethae cungkuem dongah na hmaithae uh ni.
23 Inhabitant of Lebanon, who makes your nest in the cedars, how greatly you will groan when pangs come on you, the pain as of a woman in travail.
Lebanon kah khosa rhoek, lamphai dongah bubuk rhoek, tharhui bungtloh ca om bangla nang soah ha pawk vaengah metlam nim na huei ve.
24 As I live," says the LORD, "though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, yet would I pluck you there;
Kai hingnah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Judah manghai Jehoiakim capa Koniah pataeng ka bantang kut dongkah kutbuen la om ngawn cakhaw te lamloh te nang kan dul coeng.
25 and I will give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of them of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Na hinglu aka toem kut neh nang loh na rhih kut dongah nang te kan tloeng ni. Amih mikhmuh ah Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar kut neh Khalden kut ah kan tloeng ni.
26 I will cast you out, and your mother who bore you, into another country, where you were not born; and there you will die.
Namah neh nang aka cun na nu te khaw kho tloe la kang hut vetih na thaang pawt nah ah te pahoi na duek ni.
27 But to the land whereunto their soul longs to return, there shall they not return."
Te khohmuen la a hinglu aka khuen rhoek tah mael ham akhaw na mael uh voel mahpawh.
28 Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel? Is he a vessel in which none delights? Why are they cast out, he and his descendants, and cast into a land that they do not know?
Koniah hlang phop kah a hnaep he patangnah ni nama? Anih ham hnopai khaw a ngaih moenih. Balae tih amah neh a tiingan rhoek khaw a hut vetih ming pawt kho la a voeih eh?
29 O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD.
Khohmuen, Khohmuen, khohmuen oeh! BOEIPA ol he hnatun laeh.
30 Thus says the LORD, "Write this man down childless, a man who will not succeed in his days; for none of his descendants will succeed in sitting on the throne of David, and ruling in Judah.
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. He kah hlang he cakol hlang la daek laeh. Amah tue vaengah thaihtak pawt vetih a tiingan lamkah khaw thaihtak mahpawh. David ngolkhoel dongah aka ngol hlang neh Judah khuiah koep aka taemrhai khaw om mahpawh.
