Jeremiah 20
1 Immer chapa Pashur, Pakai houin vaipo thempupa chun, Jeremiah gaothusei chu ajatai.
Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in the house of Jehovah, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.
2 Hichun aman Jeremiah chu amanin, adingin chule Pakai houin a Benjamin kelkot mun’a, mi henna insunga chun ahentai.
Then Pashhur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of Jehovah.
3 Ajing nikhon, Pashur in Jeremiah chu ahinlhadoh tai. Hichun Jeremiah in Pashur jah’a, Pakaiyin namin akheltai, tuapat nangmin hi, munjousea tijat in aumkimvel mipa, nakiti ding ahitai.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, Jehovah has not called thy name Pashhur, but Magor-missabib.
4 Ijeh inem itile, Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Nangle naloi nagolho chunga hamsetna kalhunsah ding, nangma mitmu chang tah’a, naloi nagol ho chu melmate chemjam’a lousoh keidiu ahi. Juda mite jong Babylon lengpa khut a kapeh doh ding, aman abang sohchanga akaiding chule abang athading ahi.
For thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends. And they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it. And I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon, and shall kill them with the sword.
5 Chule keiman namelmate khut a Jerusalem kapeh doh ding, khopi sunga neilegou umjouse-sana, dangka, songmantam chule Judah lengthen akholdoh ouseu aboncha-a achom gamdiu, Babylon gamsung alhutdiu ahi.
Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all the gains of it, and all the precious things of it, yea, all the treasures of the kings of Judah I will give into the hand of their enemies. And they shall make them a prey, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.
6 Chutengle Pashur, nangle na-insung mite nabonchauva sohchanga Babylon gam najot cheh diu, chukom’a chu nathi dending chule joule nal a gaothu naseikhompi naloi nagol jouse toh nakivuithadiu ahi, ati.
And thou, Pashhur, and all who dwell in thy house shall go into captivity. And thou shall come to Babylon, and there thou shall die, and there thou shall be buried, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou have prophesied falsely.
7 Vo Pakai, nangin neilhemlha tai. Keijong nang lheplhah’a kaum hi pha kasai. Kei sangin nang nahatjon, nang dingin kei imakham kahipoi. Hijongle, mihon nilhum lhum in einuisat un chule totnopnan eineitauve.
O Jehovah, thou have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. Thou are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughing-stock all the day; everyone mocks me.
8 Keiman thu kaseichan in, “Pumhat jeng leh manthahna jeng ahi’’ tin ka-eodoh jengjin, kasaptho jin ahi. Hitia Pakaiya kon thuho kaphondoh teng, miho nuijat nopna bep in kapangji e.
For as often as I speak, I cry out. I cry, Violence and destruction! Because the word of Jehovah is made a reproach to me, and a derision, all the day.
9 Hijeh chun, keiman Pakai min phahtah louding, chule ama min’a thu seitah louding, kati jongle, kalungsung meiya kihal bangin asajin ahi. Hichu keiman immang kagotji vang'in kaimjou jipoi.
And if I say, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with forbearing, and I cannot.
10 Keima eiseisetnau, miho kihoulhihna thu lamleng tampi kajan, keidin kajet kavei tijatna jeng ahi. Hehset a bolgimdin eikigih in, ima seitheilouvin eilhauve. Kaloi kagol ho jeng injong, kalhuhkal ngahlel in eigalvet uve. Ama ahung kisuhmo tengle, eiho achunga phu ikilah joudiu ahi, atiuve.
For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side. Denounce, and we will denounce him, say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall. Perhaps he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.
11 Ahinlah, Pakaiyin thaneitah in keima eiumpi jingnai. Ama angsung a koiman eijou ponte, kachunga thilse gong ho abon'uva lhugamdiu ahi. Amaho kijumso diu, chule ajahchatnau chu mangmo’a umding ahi.
But Jehovah is with me as an awesome mighty one. Therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail. They shall be utterly put to shame, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which shall never be forgotten.
12 O thaneipen Pakai, nangman adih a thilbol ho napatep in, miho lungthim gilpen leh thuguh ho naholdoh soh keiye. Keiman kachungthu nakom’a kalhuttai. Hijeh chun, kamelmate chunga naphulahna neimusah in, kati ahi.
But, O Jehovah of hosts, who tries the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see thy vengeance on them, for to thee I have revealed my cause.
13 Pakai vahchoila sauvin, vahchoiyun Pakai! Migiloute bolsetna-a konin, vaicha gentheite eihuhdoh tauve.
Sing to Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah, for he has delivered the soul of the needy man from the hand of evildoers.
14 Kapen nikho gaosap chang hen, kanun eihindoh nikho chu koima geldoh in umdahen.
Cursed be the day in which I was born. Let not the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.
15 Kahungpen nikho’a, kapa jah’a, ‘chapa khat naneiye’ tia thu galhutpa chu gaosap changhen!
Cursed be the man who brought news to my father, saying, A man-child is born to thee, making him very glad.
16 Hiche mipa chu, Pakaiyin hepina beihel’a khopi ho asuhmang bang in sumang jeng hen. Jingkah teng nat thohgimna o jahen, sunteng gal kisap o gin jahen!
And let that man be as the cities which Jehovah overthrew, and did not relent. And let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime,
17 Ajeh chu, aman kapenlhah chun einathatpon, Ohe, kanu naobu sunga anathidan hitaleng, keima hi. Kanu oisunga kivuiden tadinga.
because he did not kill me from the womb, and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.
18 Ipi dinga keima hi hungpeng kahim? Kahinkhoa hesoh genthei thohdingle miho vetda chanding bep’a?
Why did I come forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
