Jeremiah 14

1 Hiche hi, go-twi hahsat jeh’a, Jeremiah henga Pakai thusei hunglhung chu ahi.

The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the droughts.

2 Judah alung hem in; Akhopi jousea mi athi athin, khopi kot jouse akikhah gamtai. Amite jouse tollhanga akijam’un, akap kap uve. Jerusalem mite panpi ngaicha a kanau ogin a kithonge.

Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish, they bow down in black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.

3 Milen milal hon, asohteu twi hol in asol un, ahinlah twikul leh twinah ho abon'in akang gamtai. Asohteuvin twila amijou pouvin, bel keovin akile kit un, a lungdon man’un ponlu akikhuh lo tauve.

And their nobles send their lads for water: they come to the pits, and find no water; their vessels return empty; they are ashamed and confounded, and cover their heads.

4 Go ajuh tahlou jeh in, tol agotan apohkhi gamtai. Loubol ho jong alunggim behseh uvin, vetna ding helouvin aumtauvin ahi.

Because of the ground which is cracked, for there hath been no rain in the land, the plowmen are ashamed, they cover their heads.

5 Gamlah a hamhing aumtapon, Sakhipin jong anou pengthah chu adalha jeng tai.

Yea, the hind also in the field calveth, and forsaketh her young, because there is no grass,

6 Gam sangante jong lhangvum’a achailaiya ading leuvin, Ngei-hon te bang in hui ahop hel hol uve. Neh ding hamhing umlou, kel athoh thoh jeh un, amit uvin kho amugamtapoi.

And the wild asses stand on the high hills, they gasp for air like jackals; their eyes fail, because there is no herbage.

7 Kamite kahenga ahung taovun, Kachonset nau jouse ahung kilangdoh jengtai, Vo Pakai! Hijongle, nangma min suhminset’a aumlou nadin, nangman nabol ding chu boljeng inlang, keiho jong neilungset’un neipanpiuvin. Ajeh chu keiho nangma douna kachonse behseh tauve.

Though our iniquities testify against us, O LORD, work Thou for Thy name's sake; for our backslidings are many, we have sinned against Thee.

8 O Pakai, Israel kinepna! Hahsat genthei nikhoa eipanpiu nangbou nahi, ibol’a namite lah’a kholgam mi banga naum ham? Ipi dinga maljin vahle, jankhat tou gehpa banga naum ham?

O Thou hope of Israel, the Saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest Thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night?

9 Ipi dinga nangma lungdong tah banga naum a, Thahat pen nahin, ima boljoulou banga naum hitam? O Pakai, nangma kalah uva naum jingin, keiho namite kahiuve. Donlouvin neikoi hih’un, atiuve,” ati!

Why shouldest thou be as a man overcome, as a mighty man that cannot save? Yet Thou, O LORD, art in the midst of us, and Thy name is called upon us; leave us not.

10 Chuin Pakaiyin a mite jah a hitin aseiye, “Nanghon keiya kon’a gamlatah’a jamdoh ding bou nadeiyun, chule nakitim jou pouve. Hijeh chun, nachunguva kalung alheipoi. Keiman na chonsetnau jouse ka geldoh jing ding, chule hiche ho jeh’a chu na chunguva talen kamatsah teiding nahiuve,” ati.

Thus saith the LORD unto this people: Even so have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet; therefore the LORD doth not accept them, now will He remember their iniquity, and punish their sins.

11 Hichun Pakaiyin kajah’a, ‘Hiche mite ding in taoda tan,’ ati.

And the LORD said unto me: 'Pray not for this people for their good.

12 Amahon an ngol’u hen, kap jongleu, ataonau kasanpih louding: Pumgo thilto leh lhosoh thilto hinchoi jongleu, kasanpih loudiu ahi. Amaho chu, chemjam leh gilkel a chule natna hisea kasuh gamdiu ahi,” ati.

When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt-offering and meal-offering, I will not accept them; but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.'

13 Chuphat in kenjong, “Vo Pakai Hatchungnung, vetan, athemgao houvin mipite jah’a “gamsung a cham leng ding, gal leh kel umlou ding, Pakaiyin cham leh lungmon thonlouva ahin lhunsah ding ahi, atibouve,” kati.

Then said I: 'Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto them: Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.'

14 Hichun Pakaiyin ei donbut in, “Hiche themgao ho chun, kamin’a jouthu jeng agaovu ahi. Keiman amaho sol jong kasolpon, chule ahenguva thupeh jong kaneipoi. Gaothu aphon’u jong jou le nal’a mi lhepna-a, asemthu’u ahibouve.

Then the LORD said unto me: 'The prophets prophesy lies in My name; I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spoke I unto them; they prophesy unto you a lying vision, and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their own heart.

15 Hijeh chun Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Jou le nal’a gaothu phong ho chu, keiman talen kamatsah tei ding ahi. Ajeh chu keima min in, gal le kel hung lhung lou ding ahi, atiuvin; Keiman amaho abonchauva gal le kel thoh’a kathigam sah dingu ahi.

Therefore thus saith the LORD: As for the prophets that prophesy in My name, and I sent them not, yet they say: Sword and famine shall not be in this land, by sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed;

16 Chule amahon gaothu aseipih miho jong, gal le kel a, thigamdiu; Jerusalem kholai dunga atahsau chu kipaithang soh diu, avuidiu ding koima umlou ding ahi. Ajeh chu agitlounau jouse chu amaho chung’a kalebuh lhah khum diu, abonchauva ajiteu leh achateu pum’a mangthah gamdiu ahi.

and the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters; for I will pour their evil upon them.'

17 Hichun Jeremiah in hitin aseiye, “Sun le jan in kamit lhi long long jeng hen, tangmo hel in kap inge. Ajeh chu, kamite melse tah in amachangun, thidingin natna athoh uve.

And thou shalt say this word unto them: Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease; for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous blow.

18 Keima loujaova kaga chele, gal’a kithat thilong jeng katoh in: khopi sung a kalut leh kel lhah jeh’a, natna leh thina toh mipite kamun. Themgao hole thempuhon atoh ngaiyu atong un, ahinlah amahon ipi abol'u ahi, akihetdoh pouve, “ati.

If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword! And if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick with famine! For both the prophet and the priest are gone about to a land, and knew it not.

19 Vo Pakai Judah mite na pumpai hitam? Nangman Jerusalem mite nakidah’a nahot tah tah hitam? Ibol a hibang nasa-a neimavouva, keiho dinga boldamna phat umlou hitam? Keihon chamna muding kakinem’un, ahinlah chamna ahunglhung poi. Keihon damna ding nikho kangah un, ahivangin kichat tijatnan eilhunden jouve.

Hast Thou utterly rejected Judah? Hath Thy soul loathed Zion? Why hast Thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold terror!

20 Vo Pakai, keiholeh kapu kapateu chonset gitlouna ho jouse na-ang’ah kahin phonguve. Keiho kabonchauvin, nang dounan ka chonse tauve.

We acknowledge, O LORD, our wickedness, even the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against Thee.

21 Nangma min khohsah jallin, keiho nei paimang hih uvin, Na lengtouna loupitah chu, jabollouvin umsah hih in. Kachunguva nakitepna geldoh jing inlang, sukeh loujen in, Vo Pakai.

Do not contemn us, for Thy name's sake, do not dishonour the throne of Thy glory; remember, break not Thy covenant with us.

22 Doilim semthu namdang ho pathen in go ajuhsah theiyem? Vanthamjol khun ama cham”a go ahin juh lhah sah theiyem? Vo Pakai, nangbou ka pathen’u nahin, thil ijakai bolthei chu nangma bou nahi. Hijeh’a chu keiho nangma-a kinem’a, neikithopinau ngahjing’a um kahiuve.

Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? Art not Thou He, O LORD our God, and do we not wait for Thee? For Thou hast made all these things.
