Jeremiah 6
1 O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Bethhaccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction.
Jerusalem khui lamkah Benjamin ca rhoek bakuep uh. Tekoa ah tuki ueng uh lamtah Bethhakkerem ah cangpaiso tong saeh. Yoethaenah neh pocinah tanglue te tlangpuei lamkah ha moe coeng.
2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman.
Rhoeprhui neh a pang aka dok Zion nu khaw ka hmata sak ni.
3 The shepherds with their flocks shall come to her; they shall pitch their tents against her on every side; they shall feed every one in his place.
Boiva aka dawn rhoek te a tuping neh ha pawk uh ni. Dap a tuk thil uh vetih a kut dongkah hlang tah a kaepvai ah luem uh ni.
4 Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe to us! for the day departeth, for the shadows of the evening are lengthened.
A taengah hoep uh laeh, caemtloek la thoo uh laeh. Khothun ah khaw cet uh sih. Anunae, mamih ham tah khothaih loh kaeng uh coeng tih hlaemhmah khokhawn khaw puh coeng.
5 Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces.
Thoo uh khoyin ah cet uh sih lamtah a impuei rhoek phae uh sih.
6 For thus hath the LORD of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.
Te dongah Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Thing rholong te saih uh lamtah Jerusalem te tanglung khueng thil uh. Khopuei he cawh saeh, a boeih la a khui ah hnaemtaeknah ni aka om.
7 As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and destruction is heard in her; before me continually are grief and wounds.
Tuito ah tuito tui a phuet bangla a boethae khaw phuet tangkhuet. Kuthlahnah neh rhoelrhanah loh a khuiah ya uh rhoi tih ka mikhmuh ah tlohtat neh hmasoe neh om taitu.
8 Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.
Jerusalem nang n'thuituen coeng. Ka hinglu he nang lamloh a hoeng uh ve ne. Nang te khohmuen khopong neh khosa a om pawt la kang khueh ve.
9 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thy hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets.
Tangkhuet la caempuei BOEIPA loh, “Israel kah a meet te misur bangla poelyoe khaw poelyoe mai saeh. Thaihbom aka yun bangla na kut thuung laeh.
10 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is to them a reproach; they have no delight in it.
U taengah nim ka thui vetih ka hih daengah a yaak uh eh? Amih hna ngun rhoek loh a hnatung ham a coeng uh moenih ke. BOEIPA ol he amih taengah om dae ta kokhahnah bangla a khuiah naem uh pawh.
11 Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.
Tedae BOEIPA kah kosi he ka hah coeng tih cangbam ham ka ngak coeng. Tollong kah camoe soah lun laeh. Tongpang rhoek kah baecenol dongah a yuu neh va khaw, patong neh khohnin aka cup te khaw rhenten a tuuk ni.
12 And their houses shall be turned to others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD.
A im lo neh a yuu rhoek te a tloe taengla rhenten a mael pah ni. Diklai khosa rhoek te ka kut ka thueng thil coeng. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
13 For from the least of them even to the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even to the priest every one dealeth falsely.
Amih te tanoe lamloh kangham due mueluemnah neh boeih a mueluem. Tonghma neh khosoih te khaw a honghi aka saii kak ni.
14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
Ka pilnam kah pocinah aka hoeih sak long khaw vapsa la sadingnah sadingnah a ti tih sadingnah om pawh.
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
Tueilaehkoi la a saii uh te yak uh nim. Yak khaw yak uh pawt tih hmaithae khaw ming uh pawh. Te dongah amih ka cawh hnin ah tah aka cungku te a cungku thil uh vetih paloe uh ni. He tah BOEIPA long ni a thui.
16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk in it, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk in it.
BOEIPA loh, “Longpuei ah pai lamtah hmu van lah. Khosuen kah a hawn te menim dawt lah. Te longpuei then ah pongpa lamtah na hinglu ham duemnah hmu lah,” a ti lalah, “Ka pongpa uh mahpawh,” a ti uh.
17 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.
“Nang soah rhaltawt la ka pai sak coeng, tuki ol te hnatung uh,” a ti lalah, “Ka hnatung uh mahpawh,” a ti uh.
18 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.
Te dongah namtom rhoek loh ya lamtah amih taengkah laipai te khaw ming lah.
19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened to my words, nor to my law, but have rejected it.
Diklai long khaw ya laeh. Amamih kopoek kah a thaih te he pilnam soah kai loh yoethae la ka thoeng sak coeng he. Ka ol he hnatung uh pawt tih ka olkhueng khaw a hnawt uh.
20 To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a distant country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet to me.
Sheba lamkah aka thoeng hmueihtui, khohla bangsang kho kah cup then te kai ham ba lam lae a om? Nangmih kah hmueihhlutnah dongah kolonah khaw om pawt tih nangmih kah hmueih te kai taengah a tui moenih.
21 Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “He pilnam taengah kai loh hmuitoel ka khueh pah. A soah ah paloe vetih a napa rhoek neh a ca rhoek khaw, imben neh a hui khaw milh rhoela rhenten milh uh ni,” a ti.
22 Thus saith the LORD, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth.
BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Tlangpuei kho lamkah pilnam ha pawk he, diklai tlanghlaep lamkah namtom pilnu haenghang coeng.
23 They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion.
A muenying muenyang la lii neh soe a muk uh tih a haidam khaw khueh uh pawh. A ol mah tuitunli bangla kawk. Zion nu nang taengah caemtloek hlang bangla marhang dongah ngol tih rhong a pai coeng.
24 We have heard the report of it: our hands become feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
A thang n'yaak uh vaengah mamih kut kha coeng. Citcai loh ca-om bungtloh bangla mamih ng'kolek.
25 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side.
Lohma la mop rhoe mop boeh. Longpuei ah khaw cet rhoe cet boeh. Thunkha kah cunghang kaepvai ah rhihnah la om.
26 O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.
Ka pilnam tanu loh tlamhni bai lamtah hmaiphu dongah bol laeh. Oingaih cangloeng kah nguekcoinah te namah ham saii laeh. Mamih soah aka rhoelrhak loh buengrhuet ha pai dongah rhaengsaelung neh kosi ngawn dung coeng.
27 I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way.
Ka pilnam ham lungnoek la nang kang khueh. Te daengah ni hmuencak te na ming vetih amih kah longpuei te na loepdak eh.
28 They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.
Amih boeih te thinthah neh taengphael uh tih caemtuh neh pongpa uh. Amih rhohum neh thicung he khaw boeih muei.
29 The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed by the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away.
Hmaiphawt khaw amamih kah hmai dongah tlum coeng tih kawnlawk khaw hmai dongah hma coeng. A poeyoek la a cil a cil uh tih a boethae tah cing hae pawh.
30 Rejected silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.
BOEIPA loh amih te a hnawt coeng dongah amih te cak hnawt la a khue uh.
