Jeremiah 9
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Aw kai kaminawk ih canu humhaih pongah, aqum athun ka qah, ka lu loe tui suih moe, ka mik loe tuibap ah oh boeh.
1(8-23) 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!
2Aw nihcae loe zu sava nuiah zaehaih sah kami, oep kaom ai kami ah oh o pongah, kaimah ih kaminawk to ka caeh taak moe, praezaek ah ohhaih ahmuen pakrong han ka koeh boeh.
2(9-1) Oh that I were in the wilderness, in a lodging-place of wayfaring men, that I might leave my people, and go from them! For they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
3Nihcae loe amsawnlok thuih hanah palai to kalii baktiah anueng o coek boeh; toe nihcae loe long nuiah loktang lok hoi qoeng o ai; zaehaih maeto pacoeng maeto bangah caeh o moe, Kai hae panoek o ai, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
3(9-2) And they bend their tongue, their bow of falsehood; and they are grown mighty in the land, but not for truth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and Me they know not, saith the LORD.
4Nam puinawk nuiah acoe oh; nam nawkamyanawk to oep o hmah; nawkamyanawk loe aling thaih kami ah oh o boih, ampuinawk doeh kasae thui thaih kami ah ni oh o.
4(9-3) Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother; for every brother acteth subtly, and every neighbour goeth about with slanders.
5Nihcae loe angmacae ampui to aling o, loktang to thui o ai; amsawnlok thuih hanah palai to patuk o; zaehaih sak o loiah angpho o boeh.
5(9-4) And they deceive every one his neighbour, and truth they speak not; they have taught their tongue to speak lies, they weary themselves to commit iniquity.
6Nang loe alinghaih um ah na oh, alinghaih pongah kai panoek han koeh o ai, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
6(9-5) Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know Me, saith the LORD.
7To pongah misatuh Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Khenah, nihcae to atui ah kam kawsak moe, Ka tanoek han; Kai kaminawk canu hanah kawbangmaw Ka sak pae han?
7(9-6) Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts: Behold, I will smelt them, and try them; for how else should I do, because of the daughter of My people?
8Nihcae ih palai loe duekhaih palaa ah oh moe, alinghaih hoiah lok a thuih o; a imtaeng kami khaeah pakha hoiah angdaehhaih lok to thuih o, toe palung thung hoiah loe Anih han dongh patung pae o.
8(9-7) Their tongue is a sharpened arrow, it speaketh deceit; one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in his heart he layeth wait for him.
9Hae hmuennawk pongah thuitaek ai ah ka oh han maw? tiah Angraeng mah thuih; to baktih acaeng nuiah danpaek ai ah poek angphohaih hoiah maw Ka oh han?
9(9-8) Shall I not punish them for these things? saith the LORD; Shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
10Maenawk to ka qah haih moe, praezaek ih ohhaih ahmuennawk hanah doeh ka oi haih han; mi mah doeh caeh thaih han ai ah, hmai mah kangh boih boeh; kaminawk mah im ah pacah ih moi lok doeh thaih o ai boeh; van ih tavaanawk doeh angpoeng o boih boeh, moi kasannawk doeh cawnh o boih boeh moe, om o ai boeh.
10(9-9) For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the pastures of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none passeth through. And they hear not the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled, and gone.
11Jerusalem loe anghnoeng tapophaih ahmuen, tasuinawk ohhaih ahmuen ah ka sak han; Judah vangpuinawk doeh, kami om ai ahmuen ah ka ohsak han.
11(9-10) And I will make Jerusalem heaps, a lair of jackals; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without an inhabitant.
12Hae hmuen panoek thaih, palungha kami loe mi aa? Hae hmuen thuih thai hanah Angraeng mah lokthuih pae ih kami loe mi aa? Mi doeh caeh thaih han ai ah, prae loe amro boeh moe, praezaek baktiah hmai mah kang boih boeh.
12(9-11) Who is the wise man, that he may understand this? And who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it? Wherefore is the land perished and laid waste like a wilderness, so that none passeth through?
13Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Nihcae loe angmacae hmaa ah ka suek pae ih, ka patukhaih lok to pahnawt o, ka lok tahngai o ai moe, pazui doeh pazui o ai;
13(9-12) And the LORD saith: Because they have forsaken My law which I set before them, and have not hearkened to My voice, neither walked therein;
14angmacae poekhaih loklam to pazui o moe, ampanawk mah patuk ih, Baalnawk hnukah bang o lat.
14(9-13) But have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart, and after the Baalim, which their fathers taught them.
15To pongah misatuh Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; Khenah, hae kaminawk, nihcae loe kakhaa buh to ka pacah moe, kasoetui to ka naeksak han.
15(9-14) Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
16Angmacae hoi ampanawk mah panoek o vai ai ih, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah kam hetsak han; nihcae ka hum boih ai karoek to, sumsen ka patoeh han.
16(9-15) I will scatter them also among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them.
17Misatuh Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Kho poek oh, qah thaih nongpatanawk angzoh hanah kawk oh; oi thaih nongpatanawk angzoh thai hanah patoeh oh.
17(9-16) Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for the wise women, that they may come;
18Kaminawk mah, aicae mikkhraetui long moe, mikkhraetui hoi mik koi ai karoek to ang qah o haih hanah, nihcae to karangah angzo o sak ah.
18(9-17) And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.
19Qahhaih lok loe Zion hoiah angthaih; aicae loe amro o tangtang boeh! Azathaih a tongh o boeh, minawk mah aicae ohhaih ahmuennawk to phraek boih boeh pongah, prae loe pahnawt sut han oh boeh.
19(9-18) For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion: 'How are we undone! We are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.'
20Aw nongpatanawk, Angraeng ih lok to tahngai oh; anih pakha hoi tacawt lok pongah naa to patueng oh; na canunawk hanah qahhaih lok, a imtaeng kaminawk boih hanah oihaih lok to patuk oh.
20(9-19) Yea, hear the word of the LORD, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of His mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation:
21Duekhaih loe aicae ih thokbuem ah dawh tahang moe, tasa bang ih nawktanawk to hum moe, longhma ih thendoengnawk to hum hanah, aicae ohhaih ahmuen thungah akunh.
21(9-20) 'For death is come up into our windows, it is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from the street, and the young men from the broad places. —
22Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih, tiah thui paeh; Kadueh qoknawk loe aek batiah azawn ah angsong o tih, cang aat kami mah tahmaih ih cangqui baktiah, mi mah doeh nihcae ih qok to pakuem mak ai.
22(9-21) Speak: Thus saith the LORD — And the carcasses of men fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, which none gathereth.'
23Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Palungha kami loe palunghahaih pongah amoek o hmah nasoe, thacak kami doeh a thacakhaih pongah amoek hmah nasoe loe, angraeng kami doeh angraenghaih pongah amoek hmah nasoe:
23(9-22) Thus saith the LORD: 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;
24amoek kami mah, Kai loe long nuiah tahmenhaih hoi amlunghaih, katoengah lokcaekhaih, toenghaih sahkung Angraeng ah oh, tiah kai panoekhaih bangah amoek o haih nasoe, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
24(9-23) But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth, and knoweth Me, that I am the LORD who exercise mercy, justice, and righteousness, in the earth; for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.
25Khenah, takpum ah khue tangyat hin aat kaminawk thuitaekhaih aninawk to angzoh li boeh;
25(9-24) Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them that are circumcised in their uncircumcision:
26Izip, Judah, Edom, Ammon, Moab hoi praezaek hoi angthla parai ahmuen ah kaom kaminawk boih loe tangyat hin aat o ai, Israel imthung takoh boih doeh palungthin tangyat hin aat o ai, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
26(9-25) Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that have the corners of their hair polled, that dwell in the wilderness; for all the nations are uncircumcised, but all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.
