Jeremiah 7
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying:
1Jeremiah khaeah angzo Angraeng ih lok loe hae tiah oh;
2Stand in the gate of the LORD'S house, and proclaim there this word, and say: Hear the word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD.
2Angraeng im khongkha ah angdoe ah loe to ah hae lok hae taphong ah; Angraeng bok hanah hae khongkha thungah akun, nangcae Judah kaminawk boih, Angraeng ih lok hae tahngai oh.
3Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
3Misatuh Angraeng hoi Israel Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; Na caehhaih loklamnawk hoi na sak ih hmuennawk to pakhraih oh, to tih nahaeloe hae ahmuen ah kang oh o sak han.
4Trust ye not in lying words, saying: 'The temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, are these.'
4Hae loe Angraeng ih tempul ni, Angraeng ih tempul ni, Angraeng ih tempul ni, tiah amsawnlok thui kaminawk to tang hmah.
5Nay, but if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbour;
5Na caeh o haih loklamnawk hoi na sak o ih hmuennawk to na pakhraih o tangtang moe, kami maeto hoi maeto katoengah lokcaek pacoengah,
6if ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt;
6imtaeng kami, angvin, ampa tawn ai kami hoi lamhmainawk doeh pacaekthlaek ai, hae ahmuen ah zaehaih tawn ai kami to na hum o ai boeh moe, aimah nganbawh kana paek hanah kalah sithawnawk to na bok o ai boeh nahaeloe,
7then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.
7dungzan ah toep hanah nam panawk khaeah ka paek ih, hae ahmuen ah kang oh o sak han.
8Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
8Khenah, nangcae loe tidoeh avang ai, alinghaih loknawk to na tang o lat.
9Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and offer unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye have not known,
9Na paquk o, kami na hum o, zu sava nuiah zaehaih na sak o moe, amsawnlok na thuih o, Baal khaeah hmuihoih tui na thlaek o moe, na panoek o ai ih kalah sithawnawk hnukah na bang o.
10and come and stand before Me in this house, whereupon My name is called, and say: 'We are delivered', that ye may do all these abominations?
10Nang zoh o moe, ka hmin hoiah kawk ih hae im hmaa ah nang doet o, Ka loih o boeh pongah, hae baktih panuet thok hmuennawk sak hanah ka zii o ai, tiah na thuih o han vop maw?
11Is this house, whereupon My name is called, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, saith the LORD.
11Ka hmin hoiah kawk ih hae im loe nangcae mik ah mingcahnawk ohhaih thlungkhaw ah maw na poek o? Khenah, ka hnuk boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
12For go ye now unto My place which was in Shiloh, where I caused My name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of My people Israel.
12Toe vaihi hmaloe koekah ka hmin caksakhaih ahmuen, Shiloh ih ka ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh ah loe kai ih kasae Israelnawk pongah ka sak ih hmuen to khenah.
13And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spoke unto you, speaking betimes and often, but ye heard not, and I called you, but ye answered not;
13Vaihi Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih, hae baktih hmuennawk boih na sak pongah, nangcae khaeah kang thuih o, khawnthaw ah kang thawk moe, lok ka thuih, toe lok tahngaih han na koeh o ai; kang kawk o, toe nang pathim o ai,
14therefore will I do unto the house, whereupon My name is called, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
14to pongah Shiloh khaeah ka sak ih baktih toengah, ka hmin hoiah kawk ih na oep o haih ih im, nangmacae hoi nam panawk khaeah ka paek ih hae ahmuen khaeah ka sak han.
15And I will cast you out of My sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.
15Nam nawkamyanawk boih, Ephraim ih atiinawk boih ka haek baktih toengah, ka hmaa hoiah kang haek han.
16Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to Me; for I will not hear thee.
16To pongah hae kaminawk hanah lawkthui pae hmah, nihcae hanah tahmenhaih doeh hni pae hmah; kai khaeah doeh tahmenhaih hni hmah, kang tahngai pae mak ai.
17Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
17Judah vangpuinawk hoi Jerusalem loklamnawk ah timaw a sak o, tito na hnu ai maw?
18The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke Me.
18Nawktanawk mah thing to akhuih o, ampanawk mah hmai to tik o, van siangpahrang ih zu hanah, nongpatanawk mah takaw to naep o; kai palungphuisak hanah kalah sithawnawk khaeah naek han koi tui to a paek o.
19Do they provoke Me? saith the LORD; do they not provoke themselves, to the confusion of their own faces?
19To tiah maw kai ang pahrue o? tiah Angraeng mah thuih; angmacae mikhmai set hanah nihcae mah na ai maw kai palung ang phui o sak?
20Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, Mine anger and My fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the land; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.
20To pongah Angraeng Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; khenah, hae ahmuen ah, kami nuiah, taw ih moi kasan nui ah, taw ih thingnawk hoi long ih thingthainawk nuiah, palungphuihaih to ka kraih han; to ih hmai mah paduek thai ai khoek to hmuennawk to kangh tih.
21Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Add your burnt-offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat ye flesh.
21Misatuh Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; hmai hoi angbawnhaih to kalah hmuen tathlanghaih hoi nawnto suem oh, toe moi to loe caa oh.
22For I spoke not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt-offerings or sacrifices;
22Nam panawk Izip prae thung hoi ka zaeh naah, hmai angbawnhaih hoi hmuen tathlanghaih kawng to nihcae khaeah ka thui pae ai, lok doeh ka paek ai.
23but this thing I commanded them, saying: 'Hearken unto My voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be My people; and walk ye in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.'
23Toe nihcae khaeah, Ka lok tahngai oh, to tih nahaeloe nangcae ih sithaw ah ka om ueloe, nangcae doeh kai ih kami ah na om o tih; khosak na hoih o thai hanah, kang thuih o ih loklamnawk hae pazui oh, tiah ka thuih pae.
24But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in their own counsels, even in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward and not forward,
24Toe nihcae mah tahngai o ai, naa doeh patueng o ai; hmabang caeh o ai ah palungthahaih, poeksethaih hoiah hnukbang ah amlaem o lat.
25even since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day; and though I have sent unto you all My servants the prophets, sending them daily betimes and often,
25Nam panawk mah Izip prae tacawt o taak nathuem hoi kamtong vaihni ni khoek to, nangcae khaeah ka tamna tahmaanawk to kang patoeh, ni thokkruek khawnthaw ah kang thawk moe, nihcae to nangcae khaeah kang patoeh.
26yet they hearkened not unto Me, nor inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff; they did worse than their fathers.
26Toe nihcae mah ka lok to tahngai o ai, naa doeh patueng o ai, palung a thah o; ampanawk pongah doeh set o kue.
27And thou shalt speak all these words unto them, but they will not hearken to thee; thou shalt also call unto them, but they will not answer thee.
27To pongah nihcae khaeah hae loknawk hae na thuih pae boih; toe nihcae loe tahngai o mak ai; nihcae to na kawk, toe na pathim o mak ai.
28Therefore thou shalt say unto them: This is the nation that hath not hearkened to the voice of the LORD their God, nor received correction; faithfulness is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
28To pongah nihcae khaeah, Nangcae loe Angraeng Sithaw ih lok tahngai ai acaeng ah na oh o, thuitaekhaih doeh na koeh o ai pongah, loktang lok loe anghmat boeh; loktang lok loe nihcae ih pakha thung hoiah tacawt boih boeh, tiah thui ah, tiah ang naa.
29Cut off thy hair, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on the high hills; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath.
29Aw Jerusalem, na sam to aat ah loe vah ving ah; hmuensangnawk ah qah ah; palungphuihaih mah phak thuih ih adung kaminawk loe, Angraeng mah vah ving moe, pahnawt sut boeh.
30For the children of Judah have done that which is evil in My sight, saith the LORD; they have set their detestable things in the house whereon My name is called, to defile it.
30Judah kaminawk loe ka mikhnuk ah kasae hmuen to sak o boeh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih; ka hmin hoi kawk ih im to amhnongsak hanah, panuet thok hmuennawk to a suek o boeh.
31And they have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded not, neither came it into My mind.
31Ka thui ai moe, palung thungah doeh ka poek ai ih, a capanawk hoi a canunawk hmaithlaek hanah, Hinnom capa ih azawn ah Topheth hmuensang to a sak o boeh.
32Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter; for they shall bury in Topheth, for lack of room.
32To pongah acoe oh, khenah, Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; kaminawk mah Topheth, tiah kawk o mak ai, Hinnom capa ih azawn, tiah doeh kawk o mak ai, kami humhaih azawn, tiah kawkhaih ani to pha tih; ahmuen kong ai khoek to, nihcae to Topheth ah aphum o tih.
33And the carcasses of this people shall be food for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall frighten them away.
33Hae kaminawk ih qok loe, van ih tavaanawk hoi long ih moinawk hanah buh ah om tih; to ih moi kasannawk loe mi mah doeh hui mak ai.
34Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land shall be desolate.
34Judah vangpuinawk, Jerusalem loklamnawk ah oephaih lok, nawmhaih lok, zu paluemh nongpa ih lok, sava sah nongpata ih lok to ka dipsak han; prae loe angqai krang ah ni om tih boeh, tiah a thuih.
