Jeremiah 4
1 If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return to me: and if thou wilt put away thy abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove.
Israel aw na mael mak atah BOEIPA kah olphong om coeng, kamah taengla na mael mako. Namah dongkah sarhingkoi te ka mikhmuh lamkah na nong tak atah na rhaehba mahpawh.
2 And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.
Hingnah BOEIPA taengah oltak neh, tiktamnah neh, duengnah neh toemngam saeh. Amah dongah namtom rhoek a yoethen uh vetih amah ming neh a thangthen uh ni.
3 For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
He he BOEIPA loh Judah hlang neh Jerusalem taengah a thui. Namamih kah khohai te yawt uh laeh, hling puem ah tawn boeh.
4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench [it], because of the evil of your doings.
Judah hlang neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek aw BOEIPA taengah rhet uh lamtah na thinko hmuicue te hlap uh laeh. Ka kosi he hmai bangla puek vetih dom tarha ve. Na khoboe thaenah dongah aka thih om mahpawh.
5 Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, Gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the fortified cities.
Judah ah puen pah lamtah Jerusalem ah yaak sakuh. Kho tom ah tuki te ueng, ueng lamtah thui pah. A baetawt la khue lamtah, “Coi uh thae laeh, khopuei hmuencak te paan uh sih,” tiuh.
6 Set up the standard towards Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
Zion benah rholik thoh laeh, bakuep uh laeh, uelh uh boeh. Kai loh tlangpuei lamkah yoethaenah neh pocinah tanglue te kang khuen.
7 The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.
Sathueng te a puep lamkah ha thoeng. Namtom rhoek aka phae khaw hlah uh coeng. Na khohmuen neh na khopuei rhoek te imsuep la khueh ham a hmuen lamkah coe coeng tih khosa om kolla a hnueih uh ni.
8 For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us.
Te dongah tlamhni bai uh laeh, rhaengsae uh lamtah rhung uh laeh. BOEIPA kah thintoek thinsa tah mamih lamloh a mael moenih.
9 And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the LORD, [that] the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.
BOEIPA kah olphong te a khohnin ah om ni. Manghai kah lungbuei neh mangpa rhoek kah lungbuei khaw moelh ni. Khosoih rhoek te pong uh vetih tonghma rhoek khaw a ngaihmang uh ni.
10 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth to the soul.
Te vaengah, “Ya-oe, ka Boeipa Yahovah aih, he kah pilnam neh Jerusalem taengah na rhaithi la rhep na rhaithi coeng. 'Nangmih taengah ngaimongnah om ni, ' na ti vaengah cunghang loh ka hinglu a ben,” ka ti nah.
11 At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness towards the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,
Te khohnin ah tah he pilnam taeng neh Jerusalem taengah thui pah. Caphoei cuk kah hli hueng loh khosoek kah ka pilnam nu longpuei a hooi uh te aka rhuek ham pawt tih aka hlaai ham moenih.
12 [Even] a full wind from those [places] shall come to me: now also will I give sentence against them.
Te lakah aka tlung khohli te kai lamloh ha pawk coeng. Kai khaw amih taengah laitloeknah ka thui.
13 Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots [shall be] as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! for we are laid waste.
A caeh khaw cingmai bangla, a leng khaw cangpalam bangla ke. Aunae Mamih aka rhoelrhak ham kah a marhang rhoek mahatha rhoek lakah tahoeng ke.
14 O Jerusalem, wash thy heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?
Jerusalem, na lungbuei boethae lakah te sil uh laeh. Te daengah ni n'khang pueng eh. Me hil nim na ko khuikah na boethae kopoek dongah na rhaehba ve.
15 For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.
Ol ngawn tah Dan lamloh ha puen coeng tih omthae omlang khaw Ephraim tlang lamloh n'yaak coeng.
16 Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, [that] watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.
Namtom rhoek te thoelh sakuh. khohla bangsang kho lamkah aka pawk rhoek loh a dum uh te Jerusalem taengah yaak sak ne. A ol neh Judah khopuei rhoek a huttet uh.
17 As keepers of a field they are against her on all sides; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD.
Kai n'koek coeng dongah kaepvai lamloh khohmuen aka hung bangla a om thil uh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
18 Thy way and thy doings have procured these [things] to thee; this [is] thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth to thy heart.
Na khosing neh na khoboe loh namah soah han saii. Na boethae loh na lungbuei te hlut a toeh tangkik coeng.
19 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
Kai bung, kai ko aih, aka vawn bangla ka lungbuei hop ah ka lamtawn coeng. Ka lungbuei loh ka khuiah hue a sak. Tuki ol ah ka omlip pawh. Aw ka hinglu caemtloek kah tamlung te na yaak rhoe na yaak coeng.
20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is laid waste; suddenly are my tents ruined, [and] my curtains in a moment.
Pocinah soah pocinah loh a khue tih khohmuen boeih te buengrhuet a rhoelrhak coeng. Ka dap neh ka himbaiyan khaw mikhaptok ni a rhoelrhak uh.
21 How long shall I see the standard, [and] hear the sound of the trumpet?
Me hil nim rholik ka hmuh vetih tuki ol te ka yaak eh.
22 For my people [are] foolish, they have not known me; they [are] sottish children, and they have no understanding: they [are] wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
Ka pilnam kah a ang dongah kai m'ming uh pawh. Amih lunghmang camoe loh amamih nawn khaw yakming uh thae pawh. Amih te thaehuet ham tah cueih uh dae a then ham tah ming uh pawh.
23 I beheld the earth, and lo, [it was] without form, and void; and the heavens, and they [had] no light.
Diklai he ka hmuh vaengah hinghong la hoeng coeng ke. Vaan ah khaw a vangnah om pawh.
24 I beheld the mountains, and lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
Tlang rhoek te ka hmuh vaengah hinghuen uh tih som rhoek khaw boeih ngooi coeng ke.
25 I beheld, and lo, [there was] no man, and all the fowls of the heavens had fled.
Ka hmuh vaengah hlang om pawt tih vaan kah vaa khaw boeih poeng uh coeng ke.
26 I beheld, and lo, the fruitful place [was] a wilderness, and all its cities were broken down at the presence of the LORD, [and] by his fierce anger.
Ka hmuh vaengah cangphil cangngol te khosoek la poeh coeng ke. A khopuei boeih te BOEIPA mikhmuh neh amah kah thintoek thinsa hmai ah palet uh coeng.
27 For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh, “Diklai pum he khopong la om ni. Tedae a boeihnah hil ka saii mahpawh.
28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken [it], I have purposed [it], and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.
Te dongah diklai he nguekcoi vetih vaan khaw a so ah kopang uh ni. Ka mangtaeng tih ka thui coeng dongah damti kolla anih ka mael tak mahpawh.
29 The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city [shall be] forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
marhang caem neh lii phuk ol ah khopuei khaw boeih yong coeng. Khomai khuila ael uh tih thaelsawk dongah yoeng uh. Khopuei te boeih a hnoo uh tih a khuikah khosa pakhat khaw om pawh.
30 And [when] thou [art] laid waste, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rendest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair: [thy] lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
Nang ngawn tah, nang ngawn tah n'rhoelrhak coeng. A lingdik na bai tih, sui cangen na oi khaw, na mik ah mikdum neh na phen te banim na saii. Na sawtthen khaw a poeyoek la, nang te na pumben rhoek loh n'hnawt uh tih na hinglu a toem uh.
31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, [and] the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, [that] bewaileth herself, [that] spreadeth her hands, [saying], Woe [is] me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.
Ol pakhat te satloh bangla ka yaak. Zion nu kah ol camueng bangla citcai a yaak. A kut a phuel tih sa-oe sut. Anunae kai aih he hlang aka ngawn rhoek taengah ka hinglu loh lamlum sut.
