Jeremiah 9
1 Oh that my head were waters, And mine eyes a fountain of tears, —That I might weep day and night, For the slain of the daughter of my people!
Ka lu kah tui neh ka mik dongkah thunsih mikphi he unim aka pae? Te dongah ka pilnam nu kah rhok te khoyin khothaih ka rhah mai eh.
2 Oh that I had in the wilderness, a wayfarers’ lodge, That I might leave my people, and go from them, —For they all, are Adulterers, An assemblage of traitors;
Khosoek kah yincet rhaehim te u long nim kai m'paek ve? Te nen ni ka pilnam he ka hnoo vetih amih taeng lamloh ka cet laeh mako. A pum la samphaih uh tih pahong nen tah hnukpoh uh coeng.
3 Who have prepared their tongue as their bow of falsehood, And, not by faithfulness, have they become mighty in the land, —For from wickedness unto wickedness, have they gone forth, But me, have they not known, Declareth Yahweh.
A lai te laithae lii la a phuk uh. Uepomnah loh a na pawt dongah diklai ah he boethae lamloh boethae la cet uh tih kai he m'ming uh pawh. BOEIPA kah olphong ni he.
4 Every one, of his neighbour, beware ye, And in no brother, may ye trust, —For, every brother, supplanteth! And every neighbour, as a tale-bearer, goeth about;
Hlang loh a hui taengah ngaithuen saeh lamtah manuca takuem dongah khaw pangtung uh boeh. Manuca boeih long khaw a tuengkhuep la a tuengkhuep tih paya boeih long khaw caemtuh lamni a caeh.
5 Yea, every one, of his neighbour, maketh a dupe, And, truth, they do not speak, —They have taught their tongue to speak falsehood, In acting perversely, they have wearied themselves.
Hlang loh a hui taengah omsaa tih oltak te thui uh pawh. A lai te a honghi thui ham a cang uh tih paihaeh la a ngak uh.
6 Thy dwelling, is in the midst of deceit, —Through deceit, have they rejected the knowledge of, me, Declareth Yahweh.
Hlangthai palat khuikah hlangthai palat lakli ah na hing tih kai ming ham a aal uh. BOEIPA kah olphong ni he.
7 Therefore, thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Behold me! melting them, so will I try them, —For how else should I do because of the wickedness of the daughter of my people?
Te dongah caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Kai loh amih te ka rhoh tih ka loepdak ni he. Ka pilnam nu kah mikhmuh ah banim ka saii eh.
8 A pointed arrow, is their tongue Deceit, hath it spoken, —With his mouth peace unto his neighbour, doth one speak, But within himself, he layeth his ambush.
A lai loh thaltang bangla a ngawn la a ngawn coeng. A ka dongah hlangthai palat la cal. A hui taengah rhoepnah a thui dae a kotak ah a sulbung a khueh pah.
9 For these things, shall I not bring punishment on them? Demandeth Yahweh, —On a nation such as this, must not my soul avenge herself!
Te dongah amih te ka cawh mah pawt nim. BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Te namtom soah khaw he tlam he ka hinglu loh phulo mahpawt nim?
10 Over the mountains, will I take up a weeping and wailing, And over the oases of the desert, a dirge, For they have been burned, so that no man passeth through, Neither have men heard the lowing of cattle, —Both the bird of the heavens and the beast have fled, have gone their way:
Tlang rhoek ham te rhahnah neh rhathinah, khosoek toitlim ham rhahlung ka phueih mai bitni. Amih a hlup parhi te hlang loh pongpa voel pawt tih boiva ol ya uh voel pawh. Vaan kah vaa neh rhamsa taeng lamloh yong uh tih cet uh coeng.
11 Thus will I give up Jerusalem To heaps, A habitation for jackals, —And the cities of Judah, will I give up to desolation, without inhabitant.
Jerusalem te pongui kah khuirhung lungkuk la ka khueh ni. Judah khopuei rhoek te khaw khopong la ka khueh vetih khosa om mahpawh.
12 Who, is the man that is wise That he may discern this? And, unto whom, hath the mouth of Yahweh spoken, That he may declare it? For what cause Hath the land perished, Hath it been burned as a wilderness that no man passeth through?
He he aka yakming ham u hlang nim aka cueih? BOEIPA kah a ka loh a taengah unim a thui pah te aka puen eh. Diklai he balae tih a paltham, khosoek bangla ungtlai tih pongpa uh pawh.
13 Then said Yahweh, —Because they have forsaken my law, which I set before them, —And have not hearkened to hay voice neither walked therein;
Amih mikhmuh ah ka khueh ka olkhueng te a hnoo uh dongah ni BOEIPA loh a thui. Ka ol te hnatun uh pawt tih a khuiah khaw pongpa uh pawh.
14 But have gone their way, After the stubbornness of their own heart, —And after the Baals which their fathers taught them,
Tedae a napa rhoek kah a tukkil bangla a lungbuei mangkhak hnuk neh Baal hnukah pongpa uh.
15 Therefore, Thus saith Yahweh of hosts, The God of Israel, Behold me! Feeding them, even this people, with wormwood, —And I will cause them to drink, poisoned water;
Te dongah ni Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh he a thui tangloeng. Amih pilnam he kai loh pantong ka cah tih anrhat tui ni amih ka tul eh he.
16 And will scatter them among the nations, which neither they nor their fathers, have known, —And will send after them the sword, until I have consumed them.
Amih te amamih neh a napa rhoek loh a ming pawh namtom taengah ka taekyak bal ni. Te vaengah amih te a milh duela cunghang neh ka tueih ni.
17 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Consider ye diligently and call for the wailing women that they may come, —And unto the wise women, send ye, that they may come;
Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Na yakming uh phoeiah rhaengsae nu te khue uh lamtah ha pawk uh saeh. Aka cueih te khaw tah lamtah ha pawk uh saeh.
18 Yea let them make haste, and lift up over us a wailing, —That our eyes, may run down, with tears, And, our eyelashes, stream down with water; —
Te vaengah rhathinah tah mamih ah tokthuet saeh lamtah n'nan saeh. Mikphi loh mamih mik ah suntla saeh lamtah mamih mikkhu ah tui sih saeh.
19 Yea, a voice of wailing, hath been heard out of Zion How are we ruined! We have turned very pale For we have left the land, For they have cast down our habitations.
rhathinah ol te Zion lamloh a yaak coeng. Khohmuen n'hnoo uh tih mah tolhmuen a yoe uh vaengah balae tih a rhoelrhak neh mat n'yah uh.
20 For hear O ye women the word of Yahweh, And let your ear take in the word of his mouth, —And teach your daughters a wail, Yea each woman—her neighbour, a dirge: —
Huta rhoek, BOEIPA ol te ya uh laeh lamtah na hna loha ka dongkah ol te doe saeh. Na tanu te rhathinah neh, a hui huta te rhahlung neh tukkil saeh.
21 That death Hath come up through our windows, Hath entered our palaces, —Cutting off The boy from the street, The young men from the broadways.
Mamih kah bangbuet longah dueknah ha yoeng tih, vongvoel lamkah camoe, toltung lamkah tongpang te saii ham mamih kah impuei la ha pawk coeng.
22 Speak thou, Thus, declareth Yahweh, So shall fall the dead bodies of men, Like dung heaps on the face of the field, —And like swaths after the harvestman, With none to gather.
BOEIPA kah olphong loh he ni a thui. Te dongah hlang rhok he diklai hman ah aek bangla hmoeng vetih cang at hnuk kah cangpa bangla coi mahpawh.
23 Thus, saith Yahweh Let not, the wise man, glory in his wisdom, Neither let, the mighty man, glory, in his might, —Let not, the rich man, glory in his riches;
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Aka cueih khaw a cueihnah neh yan uh boel saeh. Hlangrhalh te a thayung thamal neh yan uh boel saeh. Hlanglen loh a khuehtawn dongah yan uh boel saeh.
24 But, in this, let the glorying one glory—In having intelligence and in knowing me, That, I, am Yahweh, Executing lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness in the earth, —That in these things, I delight Declareth Yahweh.
Tedae he dongah a yan uh lakah tah kai n'cangbam ham neh m'ming ham mah yan uh saeh. Kai BOEIPA loh tiktamnah neh duengnah he diklai dongah sitlohnah nen ni ka saii. Te dongah ka hmae he khaw BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni.
25 Lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, —When I will bring punishment upon every one circumcised, With him that is uncircumcised:
BOEIPA kah olphong ha pawk khohnin vaengah tah hmuicue ah aka rhet boeih te ka cawh ni he.
26 Upon Egypt and upon Judah, And upon Edom, and upon the sons of Ammon, And upon Moab, And upon all the clipped beards, The dwellers in the desert, —For, all the nations, are uncircumcised, And, all the house of Israel, are uncircumcised in heart.
Egypt taeng neh Judah taengah khaw, Edom taeng neh Ammon ca rhoek taengah khaw, Moab taeng neh baengki aka kuet tih khosoek kah khosa rhoek boeih taengah khaw, namtom pumdul boeih neh Israel imkhui tom kah lungbuei pumdul taengah khaw ka muk ni.
