Jeremiah 12
1 Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me speak with thee of thy judgments: Why doth the way of the wicked prosper? why are they all happy that deal very treacherously?
Namah taengla kang rhoe vaengah BOEIPA namah tah na dueng coeng. Tedae laitloeknah te namah taengah ka thui koinih balae tih halang rhoek kah longpuei tah thaihtak tih hnukpoh rhoek loh a hnukpoh boeih khaw a dingsuek?
2 Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins.
Amih te na phung tih a yung a hlak dongah a thaih cuen. A ka nen tah na yoei uh dae a kuel lamloh hla coeng.
3 But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried my heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
Tedae BOEIPA namah loh kai nan ming. Kai he nan hmuh tih ka lungbuei khaw na noem coeng. Amih te maeh la namah taengah boiva bangla bawt lamtah ngawnnah khohnin kah ham rhoe laeh.
4 How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell in it? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end.
Diklai he me hil nim a nguekcoi vetih khohmuen boeih kah baelhing a rhae ve. A khuikah khosa rhoek kah boethae dongah rhamsa neh vaa te a khoengvoep tih, “Kaimih kah hmailong he khui pawh,” a ti uh.
5 If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, in which thou didst trust, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?
Rhalkap neh na yong vaengah pataeng na ngak atah metlamlae te marhang taengah na sai eh? Ngaimong kho ah pataeng na palyal atah metlamlae Jordan kah mingthennah khuiah na saii eh?
6 For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words to thee.
Amih na manuca neh na pa imkhui long pataeng nang taengah hnukpok uh coeng. Amih te nang taengah khuk pang uh tih nang kah na then te thui uh cakhaw amih te tangnah boeh.
7 I have forsaken my house, I have left my heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
Ka im te ka hnoo vetih ka rho te ka phap ni. Ka hinglu pumting te a thunkha kut ah ka tloeng ni.
8 My heritage is to me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it.
Kamah taengah ka rho la om dae kai taengah duup kah sathueng bangla a ol neh ha thoeng. Te dongah ni anih te ka hmuhuet.
9 My heritage is to me as a speckled bird, the birds on every side are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.
Ka taengkah ka rho he rhikrhek vatlung nim oe? A taengkah vatlung kilkoel nim oe? Cet uh, kohong mulhing boeih coi lamtah caak hamla lo.
10 Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
Aka dawn rhoek loh ka misurdum muep a phae tih ka hmakhuen te a suntlae uh. Ka hmakhuen sahnaih te khosoek khopong la a khueh uh.
11 They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth to me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.
Khopong la a khueh vaengah kamah taengah nguekcoi uh. Diklai pum he a dingrhak la pong coeng tih lungbuei ah aka dueh hlang khaw om pawh.
12 The spoilers have come upon all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of the LORD shall devour from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh shall have peace.
Aka rhoelrhak ham te khosoek kah caphoei cuk boeih soah ha pawk coeng. BOEIPA kah cunghang tah diklai khobawt lamloh diklai khobawt duela a hlap tih pumsa boeih tah a ngaimong pawh.
13 They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
Cang a tuh dae hling la a ah uh dongah a kha uh akhaw hoeikhang uh pawh. BOEIPA kah thintoek thinsa lamloh na cangvuei khaw yak coeng.
14 Thus saith the LORD against all my evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.
Kamah pilnam Israel taengah ka phaeng rho dongah aka moi uh ka imben boethae boeih ham ni BOEIPA loh a thui tangkhuet. Kai loh amih te a khohmuen dong lamloh ka phuk tih Judah imkhui te amih lakli lamloh ka phuk.
15 And it shall come to pass, after I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
Tedae ka phuk hnukah amih te ka mael thil vetih amih ka haidam khaw om bitni. A rho taeng neh a diklai la rhip rhip ka mael sak ni.
16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people.
A tue a pha atah Baal lamloh toemngam ham ka pilnam a tukkil uh bangla mulhing BOEIPA kamah ming neh toemngam ham ka pilnam longpuei te a tukkil rhoela a tukkil ni. Ka pilnam lakli ah tlingtlawn uh ni.
17 But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD.
Tedae a hnatun uh pawt atah namtom te phuk tih milh sak ham ka phuk van ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
