Jeremiah 16
1 Pakaiyin kahenga hitin aseiye,
Then the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 “Hilai mun’a hi, nangman ji nakipuilou ding, chuleh chale nao jong naneilou hel ding ahi.
“You shall not take a wife, neither shall you have sons or daughters, in this place.”
3 Ajeh chu hilaimun’a peng chate holeh apennau anuteu apateu chunga hungsoh ding thu chu, Pakaiyin hitin aseiye.
For the LORD says concerning the sons and concerning the daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who became their father in this land:
4 Amaho chu natna tijat umtah’a thidiu; Akadiu leh avuidoh diu diu jong umlou ding, athilong u chu leithao kisem banga alhuh lhuh’a kisedui, kijam thang deh diu ahi. Amaho chu, gal’a thiloi, kel’a thiloi umdiu, athisa atahsau chu ju le va ten aneh diu, chule gamsa hon anehdiu ahi.’’
“They will die grievous deaths. They will not be lamented, neither will they be buried. They will be as dung on the surface of the ground. They will be consumed by the sword and by famine. Their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals of the earth.”
5 Chuleh Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Nangma thi-opna leh lunghemna mun’a lutdan, koima jong ga lhaset pih hih in. Ajeh chu keiman hiche mite a kon’a chamna le bitna kalahmangpih ahitai. Keiman kakhotona leh kahepina jong kalahmangpih ahitai.
For the LORD says, “Don’t enter into the house of mourning. Don’t go to lament. Don’t bemoan them, for I have taken away my peace from this people,” says the LORD, “even loving kindness and tender mercies.
6 Hiche gamsunga cheng, mihao leh mivai thicheh diu ahi. Amaho chu avuidiu umlou ding chule akapi diu jong umlou hel ding ahi. Koima jong amaho thi dipdamna-a ki-at chen leh asam voutol umlou hel ding ahi.
Both great and small will die in this land. They will not be buried. Men won’t lament for them, cut themselves, or make themselves bald for them.
7 Mithi kapi holeh lunghempi ho dinga neh le don bolpih umlou ding; Anu leh apa thiho jeng jong koiman alhamon louding, akhohsah louhel ding ahi.
Men won’t break bread for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead. Men won’t give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
8 Hiche miho toh nekhom donkhom dinga, agolvah nau mun’a navalut louhel ding ahi.
“You shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and to drink.”
9 Thaneipen Pakai, Israel Pakai chun hitin aseiye, “Keiman hilai mun’a hi, nangho mitmu tah le nangho nikholai tah’a hiche mite anopsah nau ogin, akipa thanupnau ogin chuleh moulang leh mounu kipa ogin, abon’a kasuh thip hel ding ahi.’’
For the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says: “Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.
10 Hicheng hi, amaho naseipeh tengle, amahon nahin dohdiu; Ibol’a Pakaiyin hibang a gimneitah’a eibol’uham? Hichan lom lom a gimbol dinga ipi kasuhkhel u umham? Pakai douna-a kachonset nau ipi lom lom ham? atidiu ahi.
It will happen, when you tell this people all these words, and they ask you, ‘Why has the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us?’ or ‘What is our iniquity?’ or ‘What is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?’
11 Chutengle nangman amaho jah’a. “Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, napu napateu chun kei eidalhauvin, semthu ho chibai aboh un chule ajenleuvin ahi. Amahon keima donlouvin eikoiyun chule kathupeh jong akhohsah pouve.
then you shall tell them, ‘Because your fathers have forsaken me,’ says the LORD, ‘and have walked after other gods, have served them, have worshiped them, have forsaken me, and have not kept my law.
12 Chule nanghon, napu napateu bol sanga khoh chehjo nabol uva, louchal tah in naum’un chule kathupeh dounan nachontauvin ahi.
You have done evil more than your fathers, for behold, you each walk after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that you don’t listen to me.
13 Hijeh’a chu, keiman hiche gamsung a kon’a nangho kapaidoh diu, nangho le napu napateuvin ahetkhah louna gam’a kadellut ding nahiuve. Hiche mun’a chu, sun le jan’a nanghon semthu Pathen chibai naboh uva chule najenle diu, keiman nangho kakhoto tah louhel diu nahiuve,’’ ati.
Therefore I will cast you out of this land into the land that you have not known, neither you nor your fathers. There you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.’
14 Pakaiyin aseiye, “Mihon akihahsel nauva, Pakai hingjing Pathen, Israel mite Egypt gam’a kon’a hinpui dohpa, tia aseilou nadin, phat ahung lhung e.
“Therefore behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that it will no more be said, ‘As the LORD lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;’
15 amavang mihon, “Pakai hingjing Pathen, Israel mite sahlam gam’a kon leh akithe chehnau gam chom chom’a kon’a hinpuikhom kitpa, tia aseijoh diu ahitai. Ajeh chu, keiman amaho, hiche apu apateu kanapeh gamsung’a kahin lepuikhom kitdiu ahi.
but, ‘As the LORD lives, who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries where he had driven them.’ I will bring them again into their land that I gave to their fathers.
16 Amavang, keiman ngaman mi tampi kasol in, amahon miho chu ahin matdingu, chule aban'in keiman changvai mi tampi kasol in, amahon mol le lhang jousea, chule songko le kom ho’a kon’a miho aga hol dingu ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
“Behold, I will send for many fishermen,” says the LORD, “and they will fish them up. Afterward I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them from every mountain, from every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks.
17 Ajeh chu, keiman amaho chena lamlhah phaten kavelhi jing in, athemmonau kamusoh keiyin ahi. Keidin akisel aumpon, amaho keiya kon in kiselmang thei pouvinte.
For my eyes are on all their ways. They are not hidden from my face. Their iniquity isn’t concealed from my eyes.
18 Hijeh’a chu keiman, achunguva achonset nau lethuhna ajatnia kakalsah ding ahi. Ijeh inem itileh, amahon gamsung dimset in hinna neilou lim semthu Pathen tampi akoiyun, chule achongitlou nau jong gamsung apumdimtan ahi.
First I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled my inheritance with their abominations.”
19 O Pakai, nangma kahatna leh kakulpi nahin, hahsat genthei nikho’a kakiselna nahi. Leiset kol kimvel’a namtin vaipi naheng’a hung uvintin, hitia aseidiu ahi. “Kapu kapateuvin ahomkeo leh ngol thubuh thu jengin ipuiyun, pannabei doilim semthu ho anahouvun ahi.
LORD, my strength, my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the nations will come to you from the ends of the earth, and will say, “Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, vanity and things in which there is no profit.
20 Mihem in ama dinga pathen akisemthu thei am? Hitobang kisemthu ho chu Pathen dih ahipoi.
Should a man make to himself gods which yet are no gods?”
21 Hijeh chun vetan, keiman amaho chu kathahat kavetsah ding, chule keiman kathuneina jong kahetsah ding ahi. Chutengle amahon, “Keima Pakai kahi’’ ti ahet uva chule amuchet diu ahi.
“Therefore behold, I will cause them to know, this once I will cause them to know my hand and my might. Then they will know that my name is the LORD.”
