< Jeremiah 21 >

1 Malkijah chapa Pachhur leh Maaseih chapa thempupa Zephaniah chu, Zedekiah lengpan, Jeremiah themgaopa toh kimuto dinga ahinsol pet chun, Pakaiyin Jeremiah henga thu ahinseitai.
The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, when king Sedecias sent unto him Phassur, the son of Melchias, and Sophonias, the son of Maasias the priest, saying:
2 Amahon, Jeremiah jah’a, “Nangin keiho din, Pakai kom’a neitaopeh uvin; Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar in kachung uva gal eibol khumtauve. Pakaiyin alungset longlou chun keiho eilungset uhin, chule bolmo kidang nasatah bol intin, Aman Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar chu bailam tah’a akinungtol sah ding ahi,’’ atiuve.
Inquire of the Lord for us, for Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon maketh war against us: if so be the Lord will deal with us according to all his wonderful works, that he may depart from us.
3 Hichun Jeremiah in adonbut in, “Zedekiah lengpa kom’a kilekit’uvin lang, gaseipeh un.’’
And Jeremias said to them: Thus shall you say to Sedecias:
4 Pakai, Israel Pathen chun, hitin aseiye, Vetan, Babylon lengpa leh cheldia mite douna dinga, nakhut uva nachoiyu galmanchah ho abon’a pannabei leh thaneilou kasosah ding: Keiman namelmateu chu khopi lailung tah’a kahinpuilut diu ahi.
Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Babylon, and the Chaldeans, that besiege you round about the walls: and I will gather them together in the midst of this city.
5 Chule keima mong mong in lunghang tahle thahattah’a, kabantha kalhan ding, nangho douna gal kabolkhum diu nahiuve. Ajeh chu nanghon keima nasatah a neiphin doh u ahitai.
And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand, and with a strong arm, and in fury, and in indignation, and in great wrath.
6 Keiman hiche khopi hi, gamna hise kalha khum ding, mihem hihen chule gancha hijongle kasuhgam hel ding ahi.
And I will strike the inhabitants of this city, men and beasts shall die of a great pestilence.
7 Chujou tengle, keiman Zedekiah lengpa, alhachaho leh asohte, chule khopi sunga chengho gamna hise leh chemjam’a chule kel’a hingdoh chengse chu Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar khut leh melmate khut’a kapehdoh ding ahiuve. Aman dip damna leh khotona beihel’a amaho se chu chemjam’a asatgam diu ahi,’’ ati.
And after this, saith the Lord, I will give Sedecias the king of Juda, and his servants, and his people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, and the sword, and the famine, into the hand of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and he shall strike them with the edge of the sword, and he shall not be moved to pity, nor spare them, nor shew mercy on them.
8 Mipite henga naseiding, Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Keiman nakilhen diuvin namasang uva, thilni – Hinna lampi leh thina lampi kakoipeh gel e.
And to this people thou shalt say: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
9 Koi hile, khopi dalha louva, umden ho vang chu, chemjam ham, natna hise ham, chule kel jeh ham’a thiding ahiuve. Amavang, khopi musea, Babylon mite henga kipelut chu hingdoh diu ahi.
He that shall abide in this city, shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that shall go out and flee over to the Chaldeans, that besiege you, shall live, and his life shall be to him as a spoil.
10 Ijeh inem itile, keiman hiche khopi hi, achung a apha hilouva hamsetna lhunsah dinga kakoi ahitai. Hiche khopi hi Babylon lengpa kipedoh ding, aman vut asosah ding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, saith the Lord: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
11 Judah lengpa insung jah’a, Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, ngaiyuvin, gatipeh in.
And to the house of the king of Juda: Hear ye the word of the Lord,
12 Pakaiyin, David insung jah’a, hitin aseiye, jingkah seh in, thudih chu adih in tanpih uvin, chule amaho chu mibolgentheipa khut a kon in huhdoh uvin. achutiloule, nagitlounau jal'a chu, kalunghanna meikong banga hung kongdoh ding, koiman aphelmit joulou ding ahi.
O house of David, this saith the Lord: Judge ye judgement in the morning, and deliver him that is oppressed by violence out of the hand of the oppressor: lest my indignation go forth like a fire, and be kindled, and there be none to quench it, because of the evil of your ways.
13 Chule keima tah in, Jerusalem douna gal kabol khum ding ahi. Amahon, koiham eiho eihung tongkha diuva, chule koiham hiche kulpi hin sujal dinga, atiuvin angong avaiput leuvin ahi, ati.
Behold I come to thee that dwellest in a valley upon a rock above a plain, saith the Lord: and you say: Who shall strike us? and who shall enter into our houses?
14 Hijeh a chu, keima mong mongin, amaho chonna dung juiya talen kamatsah ding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye. Chule keiman gammang lah mei kahal ding, hichun akimvel a umho abon’a akahvam ding ahi,” ati.
But I will visit upon you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the Lord: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof: and it shall devour all things round about it.
