Jeremiah 10
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Aw Israel imthung takoh, Angraeng mah thuih ih lok to tahngai oh,
1Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
2Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk ih tuinuen to amtuk o hmah, van ah kaom Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah zit o ih, angmathaih doeh zii o hmah.
2Thus saith the LORD , Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3Kaminawk ih khosakhaih tuinuen loe azom pui ni; kami maeto mah taw ah thing to pakhruk, bantok sak kop kami mah, caka hoiah a khuek moe, krang to a sak,
3For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4to krang to sui maw, sumkanglung hoiah maw pathoep het; angthuih thaih han ai ah, sumdik hoiah takhing o caeng.
4They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
5To krangnawk loe ungsikung baktiah cak o, lok apae o thai ai; angmah koeh ah caeh thai ai, phawh han angaih. To krangnawk to zii o hmah; nihcae loe kasae hmuen sah o thai ai, kahoih hmuen doeh sah o thai ai.
5They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
6Aw Angraeng, nang hoi kanghmong mi doeh om ai; nang loe na lensawk, na hmin loe lensawk moe, thacak.
6Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD ; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
7Aw kaminawk boih ih Siangpahrang, nang loe zit han krak, kaminawk boih hoi prae thung boih ah, nang hoi kanghmong palungha kami mi doeh om ai.
7Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.
8Nihcae loe panoekhaih tawn o ai, amthu o boih; nihcae loe tidoeh avang ai thing hoiah sak ih krang mah ni patuk lat.
8But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.
9Krang loe thing tok sah kop kami hoi sum daeng thaih kami mah ni ban hoiah sak. Sumkanglung tui pazut ih sabaenawk loe Tarshish hoiah sinh o, sui loe Uphaz hoi ah sinh o; rong kahing hoi kamling hoiah krang to khuk o; to hmuennawk boih loe bantok sah kop kaminawk mah ni sak o.
9Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men .
10Toe Angraeng loe Sithaw tangtang ah oh, Anih loe kahing Sithaw, dungzan siangpahrang ah oh; Anih palungphui naah long to anghuenh, prae kaminawk boih mah anih palungphuihaih pauep o thai ai.
10But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
11Nihcae khaeah, Long hoi vannawk sah thai ai sithawnawk loe, hae vannawk tlim ih, long hoiah anghma angtaa o tih, tiah thui paeh, tiah ang naa.
11Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
12Sithaw loe a thacakhaih hoiah long to sak; palung a hahaih hoiah long hae a caksak moe, a kophaih hoiah van to kakawk ah payuengh boeh.
12He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
13A lok pathok naah, van ah pop parai tuinawk to oh; long boenghaih hoiah tamai to amzamsak tahang, kho angzosak moe, tangphra doeh a pueksak; hmuenmae suekhaih im hoiah takhi to a songsak.
13When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
14Kaminawk loe amthu o boih moe, panoekhaih tawn o ai; krang sah kaminawk loe krang hoiah azathaih tongh o boeh; a sak o ih krangnawk loe azom pui ni; anghahhaih takhi doeh tawn o ai.
14Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
15To krangnawk loe azom pui ni; alinghaih hmuen ah ni oh o; lokcaekhaih ani phak naah loe anghma o boih tih.
15They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
16Jakob ih taham loe nihcae hoi anghmong ai; anih loe hmuennawk boih sahkung ah oh, Israel caanawk loe angmah ih qawktoep acaeng ah oh o moe, ahmin loe misatuh Angraeng, tiah oh.
16The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name.
17Misa abuephaih long khaw thungah kaom kami, prae thung hoiah hmuennawk to pakhueng o boih ah.
17¶ Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.
18Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Khenah, prae thungah kaom kaminawk to vaihi roe ka vah han; misanawk ban ah phak o thai hanah, raihaih ka phaksak han.
18For thus saith the LORD , Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so .
19Ahmaa ka caak pongah khosak bing! Kai ih ahmaa loe nung parai; toe ka tong ih raihaih to ka pauep nganga han, tiah ka thuih.
19¶ Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.
20Kai ih kahni im loe amro boeh; kai ih quinawk doeh apet boih boeh; ka caanawk doeh kai khae hoi tacawt o boih boeh, maeto doeh om o ai boeh; kai ih kalen kahni im to payuengh moe, kai ih imkhaan pakaahaih sak hanah kami maeto doeh om ai boeh.
20My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
21Tuucaa zaehoikungnawk doeh panoekhaih tawn o ai, Angraeng to pakrong o ai; to pongah khosak hoih o mak ai, anih ih tuunawk loe amhet o phang tih.
21For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD : therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.
22Khenah, thaisakhaih lok phak boeh, Judah ih vangpuinawk to amrosak boeh moe, tasui ih akhaw ah angcoengsak hanah aluek bang prae hoiah kalen parai atuen to tacawt boeh.
22Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons.
23Aw Angraeng, kami hinghaih loe angmah ih na ai ni; a caehhaih khok tangkannawk doeh lam patuek thai ai, tiah ka panoek.
23¶ O LORD , I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
24Angraeng, palungphuihaih hoi na ai ah, toenghaih hoiah mah na thuitaek ah; to tih ai nahaeloe azom pui ah ni ka om tih boeh.
24O LORD , correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
25Nang panoek ai, Gentel kaminawk hoi na hmin kawk ai imthung takohnawk nuiah palung na phuihaih to krai ah; nihcae mah Jakob to caak o boih boeh, anih to amro o sak moe, paaeh o boih boeh; a ohhaih ahmuen doeh phraek pae o boih boeh.
25Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.
