King James Version with Apocrypha
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
1BOEIPA ol te kai taengah om tih,
2Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD ; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.
2Cet lamtah Jerusalem te a hna ah thui pah. BOEIPA loh, 'Nang kan poek, na camoe kah sitlohnah neh na thimkang kah lungnah bangla lohma la a tawn pawh khosoek ah kai hnuk nam vai.
3Israel was holiness unto the LORD , and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD .
3Israel he BOEIPA ham cim. A thaih khuikah thaihcuek ni. Te te aka yoop rhoek tah boeih boe uh coeng. Amih te yoethaenah loh a thoeng thil,’ a ti te BOEIPA kah olphong ni, 'ti nah,” a ti.
4Hear ye the word of the LORD , O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel:
4Jakob imkhui neh Israel imkhui cako boeih BOEIPA ol he hnatun uh.
5¶ Thus saith the LORD , What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?
5BOEIPA loh, “Na pa rhoek loh kai dongah mebang dumlai a hmuh uh tih kai lamloh n'lakhla tak uh. A honghi hnuk ah a caeh uh nen la a hoemdawk uh.
6Neither said they, Where is the LORD that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?
6Mamih he Egypt kho lamkah aka caeh puei, khosoek ah, khohmuen kolken ah, khohmuen rhamrhae kah vaam neh dueknah hlipkhup ah, pakhat long khaw a pah nah pawt neh hlang loh a om nah pawh khohmuen ah aka mawt BOEIPA ta melae? ti uh pawh.
7And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.
7Cangpai cangngol khohmuen kah a thaih neh a thennah cah hamla nangmih kang khuen. Tedae na pawk uh vaengah ka khohmuen te na poeih uh tih ka rho he tueilaehkoi la na khueh uh.
8The priests said not, Where is the LORD ? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.
8Khosoih rhoek loh BOEIPA ta,” ti uh pawh. Olkhueng aka tu rhoek nawn loh kai m'ming uh pawh. Kai taengah boekoek neh luem uh tih tonghma rhoek khaw Baal rhangneh tonghma uh tih aka hoeikhang pawt rhoek kah hnukah pongpa uh.
9¶ Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD , and with your children’s children will I plead.
9Te dongah nangmih kan ho te BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni. Na ca rhoek kah a ca rhoek te khaw ka ho pueng ni.
10For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.
10Kittim sanglak paan uh lamtah so lah. Kedar te tah lamtah rhep yakming laeh. Te bang te a om atah hmu van lah.
11Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.
11Amih te pathen moenih, tedae namtom loh pathen te a hoilae aya? Ka pilnam loh a hoeikhang pawt dongah a thangpomnah neh a tho uh.
12Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD .
12Te ah te vaan khaw hal saeh lamtah yawn saeh, mat khap uh saeh, BOEIPA kah olphong ni he.
13For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
13Ka pilnam loh kai mulhing thunsih tui te a hnoo uh tih amamih ham tuito a vueh uh te boethae panit la a saii uh. Tangrhom aka rhek te tui khaw a ciip hae moenih.
14¶ Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave ? why is he spoiled?
14Israel he sal a? A im kah cahlah a? Balae tih maeh la a om?
15The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant.
15Anih taengah sathuengca rhoek kawk uh tih a ol a huel uh vaengah, a khohmuen kah a khopuei te imsuep la a khueh. Khosa pawt rhoek lamloh a hnueih khaw a hnueih uh mai.
16Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of thy head.
16Noph neh Tapanhes ca rhoek khaw na luki ah luem uh.
17Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the way?
17Nang soah na saii te he moenih a? nang m'mawt kuelhuelh vaengah longpuei ah BOEIPA na Pathen te na hnawt.
18And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river?
18Tahae ah Egypt longpuei la Shihor tui ok ham te nang ham balae a hoeikhang? Assyria longpuei la tuiva tui ok ham khaw nang ham balae a hoeikhang eh?
19Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
19Na boethae loh namah n'toel vetih na hnuknong loh namah n'tluung ni. BOEIPA na Pathen na hnoo te boethae neh khahing la ming uh lamtah hmu uh. Nang taengah ka ka letnah a om moenih. Ka Boeipa Caempuei Yahovah kah olphong ni.
20¶ For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot.
20Khosuen kah na hnamkun kam bawt tih, na kuelrhui ka pat sak. Tedae tho kan thueng mahpawh, som boeih te a sang la ka paan bitni,’ na ti. Thingkung thinghing hmui boeih ah pumyoi la na khuum.
21Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?
21Kai loh cangtak mutue boeih khuikah cangsawt misur lam ni nang kan phung. Balae tih kai taengah kholong misur, a rhol la na poehlip uh.
22For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord GOD .
22Lunghuem neh na silh tih namah ham lunghang na kum cakhaw kai mikhmuh ah namah kathaesainah a kap pueng te ka Boeipa Yahovah kah olphong ni.
23How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways;
23Balae tih, 'Ka poeih uh moenih, Baal hnukah khaw ka pongpa pawh,’ na ti. Kolrhawk kah namah khosing te hmu lah saw, a longpuei ah kapyang kalauk kolhalh bangla na saii te ming lah.
24A wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.
24Kohong marhang te a hinglu, a hinglu kah a hue neh khosoek khaw a lolmang nah. Amah tuetang ah yilh a mam. Anih aka mah te unim? Anih aka mae rhoek boeih khaw tawnba uh mahpawh. A hlasae dongah ni anih te a hmuh uh eh.
25Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.
25Na kho khotling neh na cangtilhmuen khaw, na olrhong te tuihalhnah lamloh tuem. Talsae la, “Hlanglak te ka lungnah ngawn pawt dae amih hnukah ka cet kuekluek ni,” na ti.
26As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets,
26Hlanghuen a hmuh uh vaengkah yahpohnah bangla amih Israel imkhui kah a manghai rhoek, a mangpa rhoek, a khosoih rhoek, a tonghma rhoek khaw yak uh tangkhuet.
27Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.
27Thing taengah, 'Kamah napa tah nang ni, 'lungto taengah, 'Namah loh kaimih nan cun tah nan cun coeng,’ aka ti rhoek aw kai he a rhawn n'koh tak uh tih maelhmai khaw tal. Tedae a yoethae hnin ah tah, “Thoo lamtah kaimih n'khang lah,” a ti uh.
28But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.
28Na pathen khaw namah ham na saii te ta? Na yoethae tue vaengah nang n'khang uh mak atah thoo uh saeh saw. Nang kah khopuei rhoek tarhing ah Judah nang kah pathen rhoek khaw om uh.
29Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the LORD .
29Balae tih nangmih boeih loh kai nang oelh uh tih kai taengah boe na koek uh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
30In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
30Na ca rhoek te a poeyoek la ka taam tih thuituennah khaw doe uh pawh. Sathueng kah a hnom bangla na tonghma rhoek khaw na cunghang loh a yoop coeng.
31¶ O generation, see ye the word of the LORD . Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?
31Nangmih kah cadilcahma loh BOEIPA ol te hmu uh saeh. Israel taengah tah khosoek la, khohmuen yinsamangting la ka om a? Balae tih ka pilnam loh, “Ka van uh tih, nang taengla koep ka pawk uh mahpawh,” a ti uh.
32Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.
32oila loh amah kah tanu cangen neh a haikang a hnilh nim? Tedae ka pilnam loh kai n'hnilh te khohnin tae lek mahpawh.
33Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways.
33Lungnah tlap ham balae tih na longpuei na voelphoeng sak. Boethae te na khosing neh na cang khaw na cang mai.
34Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these.
34Khodaeng neh ommongsitoe kah hinglu thii he na mul dongah khaw a hmuh uh. Te boeih lalah pataeng umlawt dawk neh amih na hmuh moenih.
35Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned.
35Te phoeiah, “Tedae ommongsitoe ngawn tih a thintoek khaw kai lamloh mael coeng,” na ti. “Ka tholh pawh,” na ti dongah nang te kamah loh kam boe sak coeng he.
36Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.
36Na longpuei te balae tih thovael ham muep na haam thil? Assyria kah yahbai bangla Egypt long khaw yah m'bai ni.
37Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head: for the LORD hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them.
37Te lamloh na pawk vaengah na kut te na lu ah na paengpoei ni. Na pangtungnah rhoek te BOEIPA loh a hnawt coeng dongah amih loh thaihtak sak mahpawh.
