Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a spring of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
1Ka lu kah tui neh ka mik dongkah thunsih mikphi he unim aka pae? Te dongah ka pilnam nu kah rhok te khoyin khothaih ka rhah mai eh.
2Oh that I had in the wilderness 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.
2Khosoek kah yincet rhaehim te u long nim kai m'paek ve? Te nen ni ka pilnam he ka hnoo vetih amih taeng lamloh ka cet laeh mako. A pum la samphaih uh tih pahong nen tah hnukpoh uh coeng.
3“They bend their tongue, as their bow, for falsehood. They have grown strong in the land, but not for truth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they don’t know me,” says the LORD.
3A lai te laithae lii la a phuk uh. Uepomnah loh a na pawt dongah diklai ah he boethae lamloh boethae la cet uh tih kai he m'ming uh pawh. BOEIPA kah olphong ni he.
4“Everyone beware of his neighbor, and don’t trust in any brother; for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will go around like a slanderer.
4Hlang loh a hui taengah ngaithuen saeh lamtah manuca takuem dongah khaw pangtung uh boeh. Manuca boeih long khaw a tuengkhuep la a tuengkhuep tih paya boeih long khaw caemtuh lamni a caeh.
5Friends deceive each other, and will not speak the truth. They have taught their tongue to speak lies. They weary themselves committing iniquity.
5Hlang loh a hui taengah omsaa tih oltak te thui uh pawh. A lai te a honghi thui ham a cang uh tih paihaeh la a ngak uh.
6Your habitation is in the middle of deceit. Through deceit, they refuse to know me,” says the LORD.
6Hlangthai palat khuikah hlangthai palat lakli ah na hing tih kai ming ham a aal uh. BOEIPA kah olphong ni he.
7Therefore the LORD of Armies says, “Behold, I will melt them and test them; for how should I deal with the daughter of my people?
7Te dongah caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Kai loh amih te ka rhoh tih ka loepdak ni he. Ka pilnam nu kah mikhmuh ah banim ka saii eh.
8Their tongue is a deadly arrow. It speaks deceit. One speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart, he waits to ambush him.
8A lai loh thaltang bangla a ngawn la a ngawn coeng. A ka dongah hlangthai palat la cal. A hui taengah rhoepnah a thui dae a kotak ah a sulbung a khueh pah.
9Shouldn’t I punish them for these things?” says the LORD. “Shouldn’t my soul be avenged on a nation such as this?
9Te dongah amih te ka cawh mah pawt nim. BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Te namtom soah khaw he tlam he ka hinglu loh phulo mahpawt nim?
10I will weep and wail for the mountains, and lament for the pastures of the wilderness, because they are burned up, so that no one passes through; Men can’t hear the voice of the livestock. Both the birds of the sky and the animals have fled. They are gone.
10Tlang rhoek ham te rhahnah neh rhathinah, khosoek toitlim ham rhahlung ka phueih mai bitni. Amih a hlup parhi te hlang loh pongpa voel pawt tih boiva ol ya uh voel pawh. Vaan kah vaa neh rhamsa taeng lamloh yong uh tih cet uh coeng.
11“I will make Jerusalem heaps, a dwelling place of jackals. I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.”
11Jerusalem te pongui kah khuirhung lungkuk la ka khueh ni. Judah khopuei rhoek te khaw khopong la ka khueh vetih khosa om mahpawh.
12Who is wise enough to understand this? Who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD has spoken, that he may declare it? Why has the land perished and burned up like a wilderness, so that no one passes through?
12He he aka yakming ham u hlang nim aka cueih? BOEIPA kah a ka loh a taengah unim a thui pah te aka puen eh. Diklai he balae tih a paltham, khosoek bangla ungtlai tih pongpa uh pawh.
13The LORD says, “Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice or walked in my ways,
13Amih mikhmuh ah ka khueh ka olkhueng te a hnoo uh dongah ni BOEIPA loh a thui. Ka ol te hnatun uh pawt tih a khuiah khaw pongpa uh pawh.
14but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them.”
14Tedae a napa rhoek kah a tukkil bangla a lungbuei mangkhak hnuk neh Baal hnukah pongpa uh.
15Therefore the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, “Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink.
15Te dongah ni Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh he a thui tangloeng. Amih pilnam he kai loh pantong ka cah tih anrhat tui ni amih ka tul eh he.
16I will scatter them also among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.”
16Amih te amamih neh a napa rhoek loh a ming pawh namtom taengah ka taekyak bal ni. Te vaengah amih te a milh duela cunghang neh ka tueih ni.
17The LORD of Armies says, “Consider, and call for the mourning women, that they may come. Send for the skillful women, that they may come.
17Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Na yakming uh phoeiah rhaengsae nu te khue uh lamtah ha pawk uh saeh. Aka cueih te khaw tah lamtah ha pawk uh saeh.
18Let 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.
18Te vaengah rhathinah tah mamih ah tokthuet saeh lamtah n'nan saeh. Mikphi loh mamih mik ah suntla saeh lamtah mamih mikkhu ah tui sih saeh.
19For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, ‘How we are ruined! We are greatly confounded because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our dwellings.’”
19rhathinah ol te Zion lamloh a yaak coeng. Khohmuen n'hnoo uh tih mah tolhmuen a yoe uh vaengah balae tih a rhoelrhak neh mat n'yah uh.
20Yet hear the LORD’s word, you women. Let your ear receive the word of his mouth. Teach your daughters wailing. Everyone teach her neighbor a lamentation.
20Huta rhoek, BOEIPA ol te ya uh laeh lamtah na hna loha ka dongkah ol te doe saeh. Na tanu te rhathinah neh, a hui huta te rhahlung neh tukkil saeh.
21For death has come up into our windows. It has entered into our palaces to cut off the children from outside, and the young men from the streets.
21Mamih kah bangbuet longah dueknah ha yoeng tih, vongvoel lamkah camoe, toltung lamkah tongpang te saii ham mamih kah impuei la ha pawk coeng.
22Speak, “The LORD says, “‘The dead bodies of men will fall as dung on the open field, and as the handful after the harvester. No one will gather them.’”
22BOEIPA kah olphong loh he ni a thui. Te dongah hlang rhok he diklai hman ah aek bangla hmoeng vetih cang at hnuk kah cangpa bangla coi mahpawh.
23The LORD says, “Don’t let the wise man glory in his wisdom. Don’t let the mighty man glory in his might. Don’t let the rich man glory in his riches.
23BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Aka cueih khaw a cueihnah neh yan uh boel saeh. Hlangrhalh te a thayung thamal neh yan uh boel saeh. Hlanglen loh a khuehtawn dongah yan uh boel saeh.
24But let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am the LORD who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness on the earth, for I delight in these things,” says the LORD.
24Tedae he dongah a yan uh lakah tah kai n'cangbam ham neh m'ming ham mah yan uh saeh. Kai BOEIPA loh tiktamnah neh duengnah he diklai dongah sitlohnah nen ni ka saii. Te dongah ka hmae he khaw BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni.
25“Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will punish all those who are circumcised only in their flesh:
25BOEIPA kah olphong ha pawk khohnin vaengah tah hmuicue ah aka rhet boeih te ka cawh ni he.
26Egypt, Judah, Edom, the children of Ammon, Moab, and all who have the corners of their hair cut off, who dwell in the wilderness, for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart.”
26Egypt taeng neh Judah taengah khaw, Edom taeng neh Ammon ca rhoek taengah khaw, Moab taeng neh baengki aka kuet tih khosoek kah khosa rhoek boeih taengah khaw, namtom pumdul boeih neh Israel imkhui tom kah lungbuei pumdul taengah khaw ka muk ni.
