Jeremiah 14
1 So much of the word of Yahweh as came unto Jeremiah, concerning the matter of the drought: —
Khokang ol dongah BOEIPA ol he Jeremiah taengla pawk.
2 Judah mourneth, And the gates thereof, pine They lie in gloom on the ground, —And, the outcry of Jerusalem, hath ascended;
Judah te nguekcoi tih a vongka khaw tahah coeng. Khohmuen ham khaw kopang uh tih Jerusalem kah henah tah luei coeng.
3 And, their nobles have sent their menials to the waters, —They have been to the pits, They have found no water They have returned, their vessels empty, They are pale and ashamed and have covered their heads.
Amih khuikah aka khuet rhoek loh a canoi rhoek te tui taengla a tueih uh. Tuito taengla pawk uh dae tui hmu uh pawh. A am hong neh a mael uh vaengah yak uh tih a hmaithae neh a lu a yil uh.
4 Because the ground, is cracked, For there hath been no rain in the land, The plowmen are pale They have covered their heads.
Diklai ah khonal om pawt tih lai a yawk kong ah, lopho rhoek yak uh tih a lu a yil uh.
5 For, even the hind of the field hath calved and forsaken, Because there is no young herbage;
Sayuk rhuinu long pataeng khaw lohma ah ca a cun dae baelhing a om pawt dongah a hnoo.
6 Yea, wild asses stand still on the bare heights, They pant for air like jackals, —Dimmed are their eyes Because there is no grass.
Kohong marhang rhoek caphoei cuk ah pai uh tih pongui bangla yilh a mam. Baelhing om pawt tih a mik kha uh.
7 Though, our iniquities, have testified against us, O Yahweh, effectually work thou for the sake of thy Name, —For our apostasies have abounded Against thee, have we sinned.
Kaimih kathaesainah loh kaimih taengah n'doo uh cakhaw BOEIPA aw namah taengah ka hnuknong uh khing tih ka tholh uh dongah he na ming ham mah saii mai.
8 Thou Hope of Israel, His Saviour in the time of distress, —Wherefore shouldst thou be as a sojourner in the and? Or as a wayfarer, who hath turned aside to lodge for the night?
Israel kah ngaiuepnah neh citcai tue vaengah anih kah khangkung aw, balae tih diklai ah yinlai neh rhaeh hamla aka rhaehba yiin bangla na om.
9 Wherefore, shouldst thou be as a man astounded, As a mighty man who cannot save? Yet, thou, art in our midst—O Yahweh And, thy Name, on us, hath been called Do not abandon us!
BOEIPA kaimih lakli ah tah namah khaw balae tih hlang ingang bangla, khang ham aka coeng pawh hlangrhalh bangla na om? Tedae kaimih taengah na ming a khue dongah kaimih nan hnoo moenih.
10 Thus, saith Yahweh To this people In this way, have they loved to wander, Their feet, have they not restrained, —Yahweh, therefore hath not accepted them, Now, will he call to mind their iniquity, —That he may punish their sins.
BOEIPA loh he pilnam ham he ni a thui. Amih kho tah poengdoe ham a lungnah uh tangloeng tih tuemsoem uh pawh. BOEIPA loh amih a moeithen pawt dongah amih kathaesainah te a poek vetih a tholhnah te a cawh pawn ni.
11 And Yahweh said unto me, —Do not pray for this people for blessing;
Tedae BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Hnothen ham akhaw he pilnam ham tah thangthui boeh.
12 Though they fast, I am not going to hearken unto their loud cry, and Though they offer ascending-sacrifice and meal-offering, I am not going to accept them, —For with sword and with famine and with pestilence, am, I, about to consume them.
A yaeh uh vaengkah a tamlung te ka hnatun moenih. Hmueihhlutnah neh khocang a khuen uh vaengah amih te ka moeithen moenih. Tedae amih te cunghang neh, khokha neh, duektahaw neh ka khah,” a ti.
13 Then said I, Ah, My Lord Yahweh! Lo! the prophets, are saying to them—Ye shall not see the sword And famine, shall ye not have, —For prosperity in truth, will I give you, in this place.
Tedae, “Ya-oe, ka Boeipa Yahovah, amih taengah cunghang na hmu pawt vetih nangmih taengah khokha pai mahpawh, he hmuen ah nangmih ham ngaimongnah oltak kam paek ni, ' aka ti tonghma aih ke,” ka ti nah.
14 So then Yahweh said unto me, Falsehood, are the prophets prophesying in my name, I have not sent them Neither have I commanded them, Neither have I spoken unto them, —A vision of falsehood, and A divination of worthlessness and A fraud of their own hearts, They, are prophesying unto you.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh kamah taengah, “Laithae tonghma rhoek loh ka ming neh tonghma uh. Amih te ka tueih pawt tih amih te ka uen moenih. Laithae mangthui neh olhong bihma, a huep mueirhol, amih te ka thui pah moenih. Tedae amih loh amamih lungbuei kah a huep nen ni nangmih taengah a tonghma uh,” a ti.
15 Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh concerning the prophets who are prophesying in my Name though, I, sent them not, and yet, they have been, saying, Neither sword nor famine, shall there be in this land, —By sword or by famine, shall, those prophets, be consumed;
Te dongah BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Ka ming neh aka tonghma, tonghma rhoek, amih te ka tueih moenih. Tedae amih loh, 'He diklai ah cunghang neh khokha om mahpawh,’ a ti uh. Tekah tonghma rhoek tah cunghang neh, khokha neh cung bitni.
16 And the people to whom they have been prophesying shall be getting cast out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword, and of there being none to give burial unto them, them, their wives, nor their sons nor their daughters, —So will I pour out upon them their own wickedness.
Pilnam loh amih taengah aka tonghma rhoek Jerusalem vongvoel kah a voeih rhoek la om uh ni. Khokha neh cunghang dongah amih te aka up khaw om mahpawh. Amih te a yuu rhoek khaw, a capa rhoek khaw, a canu rhoek te khaw amamih kah boethae te amamih soah ka lun ni.
17 Therefore shalt thou say unto them this word, Let mine eyes, run down with tears night and day, And let them not rest, —For with a grievous injury, hath been injured the virgin the daughter of my people, With a wound, severe indeed!
He ol he amih taengah thui pah. Ka mik dongkah mikphi he khoyin khothaih suntla saeh lamtah kak boel saeh. Ka pilnam tanu oila tah, hma puei dongah khaem coeng tih hmasoe la nue khungdaeng coeng.
18 If I have gone out into the field, Then lo! the slain of the sword! And, if I have entered the city, Then lo! the diseases of famine! For, both prophet and priest, have trafficked against the land unnoticed.
Khohmuen te ka paan vaengah nim cunghang dongkah rhok hoeng ni ke. Khopuei la ka caeh bal nim te khokha kah tlohtat hoeng ni ke. Tonghma neh khosoih loh diklai ah a thimpom rhoi akhaw a ming rhoi moenih.
19 Hast thou, utterly rejected, Judah? Zion itself, hath thy soul loathed? Why, hast thou smitten us so that there is for us no healing? A waiting For prosperity, but no welfare, and For a time of healing, but lo! terror!
Judah te na hnawt na hnawt tih Zion te na hinglu loh a tuei nama? Balae tih kaimih taengah hoeihnah om pawt ham kaimih nan ngawn? Sadingnah te lamtawn dae then voel pawh. Te dongah hoeihnah tue te khaw letnah coeng ni he.
20 We acknowledge O Yahweh Our own lawlessness The iniquity of our fathers, —For we have sinned against thee.
BOEIPA aw kaimih kah halangnah neh a pa rhoek kathaesainah neh namah taengah ka tholh uh te ka ming uh.
21 Do not despise—for the sake of thy Name, Do not treat with contempt—the throne of thy glory, —Remember!—do not break thy covenant with us.
Na ming ham tah tlaitlaek boeh, na thangpomnah ngolkhoel te tahah sak boeh. Poek van lah, kaimih taengkah na paipi te phae boeh.
22 Are there, among the vanities of the nations senders of rain? Or can, the heavens themselves, give myriad drops? Art not, thou, he, O Yahweh our God? Therefore will we wait for thee, For, thou, hast made all these.
Namtom kah a honghi taengah kho nal om tih vaan long khaw mueitui a paek nim? Kaimih kah BOEIPA Pathen amah khaw nang moenih a? Te dongah nang soah kan lamtawn uh tih he boeih he namah ham ni na saii.
