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 Yahweh’s house, 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 struck Jeremiah the prophet and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in Yahweh’s house.
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.
On the next day, Pashhur released Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, “Yahweh has not called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.
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 Yahweh says, ‘Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends. They will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will see it. I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will carry them captive to Babylon, and will 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 its gains, and all its precious things, yes, I will give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies. They will make them captives, 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.
You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house will go into captivity. You will come to Babylon, and there you will die, and there you will be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you 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.
Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all 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 Yahweh’s word has been made a reproach to me, and a derision, all 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.
If I say that I will not make mention of him, or speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones. I am weary with holding it in. I can’t.
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 will prevail against him, and we will 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 Yahweh is with me as an awesome mighty one. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they won’t prevail. They will be utterly disappointed because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which will 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 Yahweh of Armies, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them, for I have revealed my cause to you.
13 Pakai vahchoila sauvin, vahchoiyun Pakai! Migiloute bolsetna-a konin, vaicha gentheite eihuhdoh tauve.
Sing to Yahweh! Praise Yahweh, for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.
14 Kapen nikho gaosap chang hen, kanun eihindoh nikho chu koima geldoh in umdahen.
Cursed is the day in which I was born. Don’t let 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 is the man who brought news to my father, saying, “A boy is born to you,” 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!
Let that man be as the cities which Yahweh overthrew, and didn’t repent. 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 didn’t kill me from the womb. 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 out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
