Jeremiah 10
1 Vo Israel Insung, naheng’a Pakai thusei hi ngaiyuvin!
Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, house of Israel!
2 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Namtin vaipi ho chonna bangin, vanthangjol’a melchihna chom chom ho jeh in, khonung thua nangho lungthoi hih`un. Amaho jeh chun namtin vaipi tija jongleh, nangho vang kicha hih`un.
The LORD says, “Don’t learn the way of the nations, and don’t be dismayed at the signs of the sky; for the nations are dismayed at them.
3 Ajeh chu, amaho chonna lamlheh jouse chu, thujou leh ngolna thu jeng ahi: Amahon gamlah’a thingphung ho aphuhlhu uvin, hichea chu thingthem bolpan, semthu pathen lim asemdoh ji ahi.
For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the ax.
4 Hichu, sana leh dangka in atomjol un, thingkil in akilun, sehcha’n akhendet un, akitoldoh louna diu asemjiuve.
They deck it with silver and with gold. They fasten it with nails and with hammers, so that it can’t move.
5 Amahon asemthu-u pathen limho chu, paotheilou leh chattheilou ahin, loulaiya vachate kichat dinga kisemthu milim ho bep ahiuvin, doplea choile ding bep ahiuve, Hitobang semthu pathen ho chu kicha hih un, amaho chun, nachung a thilse jong chuleh thilpha jong abolthei pouve” ati
They are like a palm tree, of turned work, and don’t speak. They must be carried, because they can’t move. Don’t be afraid of them; for they can’t do evil, neither is it in them to do good.”
6 Vo Pakai hatchungnung, nangtoh kibang koima aumpoi. Nangma loupitah leh lentah nahin, namin jong thaneitah ahi.
There is no one like you, LORD. You are great, and your name is great in might.
7 Nangma namtin vaipi chunga leng nahin, nang changing bou ahi. Ajeh chu, leiset chung a miching jouse leh lenggam jouse lah’a, nangtoh kibang aumpoi.
Who shouldn’t fear you, King of the nations? For it belongs to you. Because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is no one like you.
8 Semthu doilim houhohi, angol leh atanang jeng ahiuve. Amahon kichatah’a ajen uva ahouvuchu, thing’a kon’a kisem thu ahibouve.
But they are together brutish and foolish, instructed by idols! It is just wood.
9 Amahon Tarshish a konin dangka kikhengtohsa chuleh Uphaz a konin sana ahinpodoh uvin; Hichehoa kon chun, khutthem mihon, semthu pathen lim semdoh un, chujouteng, ponkhui themhon hiche ho chu, ponsandup leh pondum in atomjolsel uvin ahi.
There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the engraver and of the hands of the goldsmith. Their clothing is blue and purple. They are all the work of skillful men.
10 Ahinlah, Pakai chu amabou Pathen dihtah ahijing e. Ama chu hingjing Pathen ahin, tonsot lengpa ahi. Alunghan in van leh leiset akithinsah in, namtin vaipin alungsat adoujoupoi.
But the LORD is the true God. He is the living God, and an everlasting King. At his wrath, the earth trembles. The nations aren’t able to withstand his indignation.
11 Hichehi semthu Pathen lim houho heng a seipehun, “Nanghon nahouvu, van le leiset ‘a kon’a mangthah gamdiu ahi, tipeh’un,’’ ati:
“You shall say this to them: ‘The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.’”
12 Pakaiyin athahat in leiset asemdoh in, achihnan leiset atungdet e. Chule athil hetkhen themnan vanthamjol hi, pon bangin aphou jahe.
God has made the earth by his power. He has established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens.
13 Ama thusah in vanthamjol gin akithongin chule go ajujin; Aman leiset chunga konin meibol ho akaithou sahjin ahi. Aman gotwi ajuhlhah sahjin, kolphe avahsahjin, Chule khopi hui jong akholna-a konin aladohjui ahi.
When he utters his voice, the waters in the heavens roar, and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings for the rain, and brings the wind out of his treasuries.
14 Mijouse hi hetna beiyin tanang in aum’uve. Khut themtah’a thil semdoh ho jong, asemthu-u milim ho chun ajumsah gam’u ahitai. Ajeh chu, asemdoh hou chu abon’a alem’a kisemdoh chule haina hu neilou jeng ahiuve.
Every man has become brutish and without knowledge. Every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
15 Hiche semthu doilim ho chu, abon’a pannabei leh alem jong ahiuve. Amaho chu, Pakai nikho ahunglhun teng, Kisumang soh hel dingu ahi.
They are vanity, a work of delusion. In the time of their visitation they will perish.
16 Ahivangin, Israel Pathen chu, amaho tobang’a semthu ahipoi. Ama chu imajouse semdohpa Pathen dihtah chu ahin; Israel jeng jong, ama goulo dinga akilhendoh ahin, Ama min chu thaneipen Pakai ahi.
The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the maker of all things; and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance. The LORD of Hosts is his name.
17 Naponvai kichuntup un, khopi dalha dingin kigosan um un, gal miten naumkimsoh’u ahitai.
Gather up your wares out of the land, you who live under siege.
18 Ijeh inem itileh Pakaiyin hitin aseiye. “Photlot changa, hiche gamsunga chengho nabonuva, kasepdoh ding nahiuve. Keiman nachunguva gim gentheina nasatah kabuh lhah ding, chuleh nanghon kalungsatna natokhah teidiu ahi,”ati.
For the LORD says, “Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel it.”
19 Kaki suhkhahna maha anase behseh in, kathoh gimna jong ahahsa valtai. Kanatna jong adamthei louding ahitan, hijongle engbolna kato ahijeh'in, kathoh doh ding ahi, kati.
Woe is me because of my injury! My wound is serious; but I said, “Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it.”
20 Ka-in jong akisusen, eikithopia eisoldoh pih ding mi koima aumpoi. Kachate jong eilah peh uvin, keiman avel’a amaho chu kamukit louding ahitai.
My tent has been destroyed, and all my cords are broken. My children have gone away from me, and they are no more. There is no one to spread my tent any more, to set up my curtains.
21 Kamite, kelngoi chinga pangho, alung chavai leh atanang jeng ahiuvin: Ajeh chu, amahon Pakaiya hungkon chihna ahol tapouve. Hitijeh chun, abolna lam jouseuva alosam’un, chuleh achin’u kelngoi hon ho jong avahcheh gamtauvin ahi.
For the shepherds have become brutish, and have not inquired of the LORD. Therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks have scattered.
22 Ngaiyun, gin umtah gal miho ogin kithong jeju pumin, sahlam’a konin ahung kitolsuh uve. Amahon Judate khopi jouse alonkhumuva asuhmangdiu, khogem nung’a ngei-hon te kokhuh asosah diu ahi.
The voice of news, behold, it comes, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling place of jackals.
23 O Pakai keiman kahet Kahinkhohi keima thua um ahipon, chuleh kakalse nading leh kam'a lamjot nading jong, keima sunga um ahipoi.
LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself. It is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
24 Hijeh chun Vo Pakai, keima neisudih tan, Na lunghan hu-in vang neibol hih in, keiman kadoujou louhel ding ahi.
LORD, correct me, but gently; not in your anger, lest you reduce me to nothing.
25 Nalungsat chu, nangma hephalou namtin vaipi ho chunga bunglhan. Chule nangma minphah nomlou mite chunga bunglhan. Ajeh chu amahon Israel insung abahgamun, anechai hel tauve. Chuleh agamsungu jong ahomkeovin aumsah tauvin ahi.
Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you, and on the families that don’t call on your name; for they have devoured Jacob. Yes, they have devoured him, consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.
