1Jerusalem tollong ah van thikthuek uh lamtah hmu uh laeh. Ming uh lamtah a toltung ah tlap uh. Hlang na hmuh atah, tiktamnah a saii tih uepomnah a tlap atah anih te khodawk ka ngai ni.
1Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that doeth justly, that seeketh truth; and I will pardon her.
2BOEIPA kah hingnah tah a thui uh akhaw a honghi lam ni tangkhuet a toemngam uh.
2And though they say: 'As the LORD liveth', surely they swear falsely.
3BOEIPA aw na mik te uepomnah ham moenih a? Amih te na taam dae a tloh pah moenih. Amih te na khah akhaw thuituennah doe ham a aal uh. A maelhmai te thaelpang lakah a ning sak uh tih mael hamla a aal uh.
3O LORD, are not Thine eyes upon truth? Thou hast stricken them, but they were not affected; Thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction; they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
4Kai tah amih te tattloel rhoek rhep ka ti ngawn. BOEIPA kah khosing neh a Pathen kah laitloeknah te a ming uh pawt dongah nga uh coeng.
4And I said: 'Surely these are poor, they are foolish, for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the ordinance of their God;
5Tanglue rhoek te kamah ham ka caeh thil vetih amih te ka voek ni. Amih loh BOEIPA kah khosing neh a Pathen kah laitloeknah te a ming uh ta. Tedae amih loh hnamkun te rhenten a bawt uh tih kuelrhui khaw a dul uh.
5I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they know the way of the LORD, and the ordinance of their God.' But these had altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bands.
6Te dongah amih te duup lamkah sathueng loh a ngawn ni. kolken uithang loh amih te a rhoelrhak ni. Kaihlaeng loh a khopuei soah a hak thil coeng tih te lamkah aka thoeng boeih te a ngaeh ni. Amih kah boekoek khaw pung aih coeng tih a hnuknong, a hnuknong uh rhoek mah tahoeng aih coeng.
6Wherefore a lion out of the forest doth slay them, a wolf of the deserts doth spoil them, a leopard watcheth over their cities, every one that goeth out thence is torn in pieces; because their transgressions are many, their backslidings are increased.
7Te dongah mebang khodawkngai nen lae nang taengah khodawk ka ngai eh? Na ca rhoek loh kai n'hno uh tih pathen pawt nen khaw a toemngam uh. Amih te ka kum sak lalah samphaih uh tih pumyoi im la det uh.
7Wherefore should I pardon thee? The children have forsaken Me, and sworn by no-gods; and when I had fed them to the full, they committed adultery, and assembled themselves in troops at the harlots' houses.
8Hlang he a vuelh phoeiah aka cuk marhang la poeh uh coeng tih a hui kah a yuu taengah khaw hlampan uh.
8They are become as well-fed horses, lusty stallions; every one neigheth after his neighbour's wife.
9Te dongah ka cawh mahpawt nim? BOEIPA kah olphong ni he. Te bang namtom soah atah ka hinglu loh phulo mahpawt nim?.
9Shall I not punish for these things? saith the LORD; and shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
10Cet lamtah a vong te phae pah. Tedae a boeihnah hil tah saii boeh. A baek rhoek te khaw hlaek laeh. Te rhoek te BOEIPA ham moenih.
10Go ye up into her rows, and destroy, but make not a full end; take away her shoots; for they are not the LORD'S.
11Israel imkhui neh Judah imkhui he kai taengah hnukpoh tah hnukpoh uh coeng. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
11For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against Me, saith the LORD.
12BOEIPA te a namnah uh tih, “Amah a om aih moenih. Mamih taengah yoethae neh cunghang khaw ha pawk mahpawh, khokha khaw m'hmuh uh mahpawh,” a ti uh.
12They have belied the LORD, and said: 'It is not He, neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine;
13Tonghma rhoek khaw khohli bangla om uh tih a khuiah oltang katang la om uh pawh. Amih taengah saii pai saeh.
13And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them; thus be it done unto them.'
14A tangkhuet la Caempuei Pathen BOEIPA loh, “Nangmih loh hekah ol he na thui dongah, ka ol he kamah loh na ka dongah hmai bangla kang khueh coeng. Pilnam he thing la a hlawp coeng he.
14Wherefore thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts: Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make My words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
15Israel imkhui aw khohla bangsang lamkah namtom te nang taengla kai loh kang khuen he. BOEIPA kah olphong ni he. Te namtom tah kuei tih khosuen lamkah namtom coeng ni. Te namtom te a ol na ming pawt tih a thui te khaw na yaak voel moenih.
15Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD; it is an enduring nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.
16A liva khaw phuel bangla ah tih amih tah hlangrhalh boeih ni.
16Their quiver is an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.
17Na cangah neh na buh a caak vetih, na ca tongpa rhoek neh na ca huta rhoek te khaw a dolh uh ni. Na boiva neh na saelhung te han yoop vetih na misur neh na thaibu khaw hang khok ni. A khuiah na pangtung thil na khopuei hmuencak rhoek te khaw cunghang neh han laih ni.
17And they shall eat up thy harvest, and thy bread, they shall eat up thy sons and thy daughters, they shall eat up thy flocks and thy herds, they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig-trees; they shall batter thy fortified cities, wherein thou trusteth, with the sword.
18Te khohnin ah pataeng nangmih taengah a boeihnah hil ka saii mahpawh. BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni.
18But even in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you.
19“He boeih he mamih Pathen BOEIPA loh balae tih mamih taengah a saii,” a ti uh tue a pha bitni. Te vaengah amih te, “Kai nan hnoo uh tih na khohmuen ah kholong pathen taengah tho na thueng uh. Kholong taengah na thotat uh tangloeng vetih khohmuen khuikah he nangmih ham om mahpawh,” tila na voek uh bitni.
19And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say: 'Wherefore hath the LORD our God done all these things unto us?' then shalt Thou say unto them: 'Like as ye have forsaken Me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.'
20He he Jakob imkhui taengah puen pah lamtah amah Judah khuiah khaw yaak sak.
20Declare ye this in the house of Jacob, and announce it in Judah, saying:
21Lunghmang neh lungbuei aka talh pilnam long he ya laeh saeh. Amih te mik om dae hmuh uh pawh. Amih te hna khaw a khueh uh dae ya uh pawh.
21Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding, that have eyes, and see not, that have ears, and hear not:
22Kai he nang rhih uh moenih a? BOEIPA kah olphong ni he. Ka mikhmuh ah na thuen uh mahpawt nim? Tuitunli ham khorhi la laivin ka khueh pah. Kumhal oltlueh phoeikah he a poe thai moenih. Tuen uh cakhaw a coeng uh moenih. A tuiphu rhoek loh kawk cakhaw te te a poeng uh moenih.
22Fear ye not Me? saith the LORD; Will ye not tremble at My presence? Who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, an everlasting ordinance, which it cannot pass; and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it.
23Tedae pilnam taengah he lungbuei thinthah neh aka koek ni a om uh. Te dongah taengphael uh tih pongpa uh.
23But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted, and gone.
24A thinko khuiah pataeng, “Khonal neh rhotui, rhotui neh amah tue vaengkah tlankhol aka pae, a khosing bangla yalh a khueh tih mamih kah cangah aka ngaithuen Pathen BOEIPA te rhih pawn sih,” a ti uh moenih.
24Neither say they in their heart: 'Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth the former rain, and the latter in due season; that keepeth for us the appointed weeks of the harvest.'
25Namamih kathaesainah ah te rhoek loh n'rhael uh tih namamih kah tholhnah kongah hnothen loh nangmih taengah a hloh uh.
25Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good from you.
26Ka pilnam khuiah halang rhoek ni ka hmuh. Sayuep loh a naat bangla a mae tih hlang tuuk ham thaang a tung uh.
26For among My people are found wicked men; they pry, as fowlers lie in wait; they set a trap, they catch men.
27Boem dongah vaa a baetawt bangla amih im ah thailatnah baetawt tangkhuet. Te dongah ni a rhoeng uh tih a boei uh.
27As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit; therefore they are become great, and waxen rich;
28Tha paduk neh hnal duihluih la boethae ol ni a loh uh. Dumlai dongah cadah kah dumlai tah lai a tloek uh kolla thaihtak uh tih khodaeng kah tiktamnah la laitloek uh pawh.
28They are waxen fat, they are become sleek; yea, they overpass in deeds of wickedness; they plead not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they might make it to prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
29Te rhoek dongah te ka cawh mahpawt nim? BOEIPA kah olphong ni he. Te vanbangla namtom soah khaw ka hinglu te phulo mahpawt nim?” a ti.
29Shall I not punish for these things? saith the LORD; Shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
30Imsuep neh rhih-om he diklai ah thoeng.
30An appalling and horrible thing is come to pass in the land:
31Tonghma rhoek khaw a honghi la tonghma uh. Khosoih rhoek loh a kut neh a buem uh aih. Te dongah ka pilnam tah a lungnah uh tangloeng dae a hmailong ah banim na saii uh ve.
31The prophets prophesy in the service of falsehood, and the priests bear rule at their beck; and My people love to have it so; What then will ye do in the end thereof?
