Jeremiah 5
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
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 executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.
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.
2And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely.
2BOEIPA kah hingnah tah a thui uh akhaw a honghi lam ni tangkhuet a toemngam uh.
3O LORD , are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; 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.
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.
4Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD , nor the judgment of their God.
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.
5I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the LORD , and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
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.
6Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.
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.
7¶ How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots’ houses.
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.
8They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour’s wife.
8Hlang he a vuelh phoeiah aka cuk marhang la poeh uh coeng tih a hui kah a yuu taengah khaw hlampan uh.
9Shall I not visit for these things ? saith the LORD : and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
9Te dongah ka cawh mahpawt nim? BOEIPA kah olphong ni he. Te bang namtom soah atah ka hinglu loh phulo mahpawt nim?.
10¶ Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD’s .
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.
11For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD .
11Israel imkhui neh Judah imkhui he kai taengah hnukpoh tah hnukpoh uh coeng. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
12They have belied the LORD , and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
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.
13And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.
13Tonghma rhoek khaw khohli bangla om uh tih a khuiah oltang katang la om uh pawh. Amih taengah saii pai saeh.
14Wherefore thus saith the LORD 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.
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.
15Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD : it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.
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.
16Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.
16A liva khaw phuel bangla ah tih amih tah hlangrhalh boeih ni.
17And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.
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.
18Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD , I will not make a full end with you.
18Te khohnin ah pataeng nangmih taengah a boeihnah hil ka saii mahpawh. BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni.
19¶ And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer 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.
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.
20Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,
20He he Jakob imkhui taengah puen pah lamtah amah Judah khuiah khaw yaak sak.
21Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:
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.
22Fear ye not me? saith the LORD : will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?
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.
23But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.
23Tedae pilnam taengah he lungbuei thinthah neh aka koek ni a om uh. Te dongah taengphael uh tih pongpa uh.
24Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.
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.
25¶ Your iniquities have turned away these things , and your sins have withholden good things from you.
25Namamih kathaesainah ah te rhoek loh n'rhael uh tih namamih kah tholhnah kongah hnothen loh nangmih taengah a hloh uh.
26For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
26Ka pilnam khuiah halang rhoek ni ka hmuh. Sayuep loh a naat bangla a mae tih hlang tuuk ham thaang a tung uh.
27As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.
27Boem dongah vaa a baetawt bangla amih im ah thailatnah baetawt tangkhuet. Te dongah ni a rhoeng uh tih a boei uh.
28They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
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.
29Shall I not visit for these things ? saith the LORD : shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
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.
30¶ A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;
30Imsuep neh rhih-om he diklai ah thoeng.
31The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?
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.
