Jeremiah 22
1 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Nangma Judah lengpa in-ah chesuh inlang, hiche thuhi gaseipeh tan,’’
Thus says the Lord; Go you, and go down to the house of the king of Juda, and you shall speak there this word,
2 Juda lengpa, David laltouna toupa, ngaiyin, chule namite leh nasohten jong ngaicheh’uhen.
and you shall say, Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Juda, that sit on the throne of David, you, and your house, and your people, and they that go in at these gates:
3 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Thu adih in tanpih uvin chule thil adih in bol uvin. Athil kichompih ho chu panhu’uvin lang, amaho chu akibol ganthei nauva kon in huhdoh uvin. Chule nagitlounau chu dalhauvin. Gamchom mileh kholjin miho bolse hih un, chule chagate leh meithai ho chu pumhat in boldauvin. Chule themmona bei mite chunga thisan sodauvin.
thus says the Lord; Execute you judgment and justice, and rescue the spoiled out of the hand of him that wrongs him: and oppress not the stranger, and orphan, and widow, and sin not, and shed no innocent blood in this place.
4 Nanghon kathu nangaiyuleh, hiche mun’a hi, David laltouna-a, David son le pah ho toujing ding ahi. Chutia chu, lengho leh alhachac ho chule asohte, kangtalai leh sakol a tou uva, leng inpi kelkot a chu, lutle potle abol diu ahi.
For if you will indeed perform this word, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, and riding on chariots and horses, they, and their servants, and their people.
5 Amavang, nanghon kathusei hi donlouva nakoi vang ule, keima tah kamin’a kakitepna kasem ahi; Hiche mun hi ahomkeo leh keohel’a kalha ding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
But if you will not perform these words, by myself have I sworn, says the Lord, that this house shall be [brought] to desolation.
6 Pakaiyin, Judah leng inpi thua hitin aseiye, “Keiding in nangma hi, Gilead lhang leh Lebanon gam hoitah banga chule mihem chennalou gam kasosah ding nahi.
For thus says the Lord concerning the house of the king of Juda; You are Galaad to me, [and] the head of Libanus: [yet] surely I will make you a desert, [even] cities that shall not be inhabited:
7 Keiman nangma sumang ding mi kakou ding, amahon ama cheh manchah ahin kichoi uva, nasuh gamdiu ahi. Amahon, Cedar thing hoilai ho aphuh uva, meiya ahalvam diu ahi.
and I will bring upon you a destroying man, and his axe: and they shall cut down your choice cedars, and cast [them] into the fire.
8 Gam chom chom’a kon hung kholjin namtin vaipin, hiche khopi hinjotpa jousen, ‘Ibol’a Pakaiyin hiche khopi lentah hi ahiti suhmang jeng hitam? tia amaho leh amaho kihoudiu ahi.
And nations shall pass through this city, and each shall say to his neighbor, Why has the Lord done thus to this great city?
9 Chutengle, “Amahon Pakai a Pathen’u toh akitepnau asuhkeh jeh uva, kisumang ahiuve,’ ti ahetdoh diu ahi.
And they shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord their God, and worshipped strange gods, and served them.
10 Lengpa din kadauvin, lunghempi dauvin, ama chu athi ahitai. Amavang, sohchanga kikaimangpa chu kapiuvin lang, apul douvun. Ajeh chu, aman agamsung ahung mukit louhel ding ahitai.
Weep not for the dead, nor lament for him: weep bitterly for him that goes away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native land.
11 Hiche thuhi, apa Josiah khel’a lengchang Jehoahaz chungthu asei ahi. ama chu gal-hinga kikaimang ahin, agam a hung kilekit louding ahi.
For thus says the Lord concerning Sellem the son of Josias, who reigns in the place of Josias his father, who has gone forth out of this place; He shall not return there any more:
12 Ama chu migam’a thiden ding, agamsung anungmu louhel ding ahi.
but in that place whither I have carried him captive, there shall he die, and shall see this land no more.
13 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, ‘Ohe ada ahi, lamdih lou tah’a in kisahpa! Thudih louva inpi kehlen’a, aheng akom tohman pelouva goipa, chule pumhat a kulpi kisempa!
He that builds his house not with justice, and his upper chambers not with judgment, who works by means of his neighbor for nothing, and will by no means give him his reward.
14 Hichepa hin, ‘Keiman inlentah khat kisah inge, indan tampi sem ing katin chule bangkot tampi Cedar thing in sem inge. Hichu rong sen in hoitah in loi ing kate,’’ ati.
You have built for yourself a well-proportioned house, airy chambers, fitted with windows, and wainscoted with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
15 amavang, Cedar thinga leng inpi nomtah leh loupitah kisahdoh jeh’a, leng vaipoa kipang ahipoi. Napa Josiah chu neh le don aning lhing set in; ama chu thudihtah ahin, ijakai adih in abol’e. Hijeh chun, Pathen phattheiboh achange.
Shall you reign, because you are provoked with your father Achaz? they shall not eat, and they shall not drink: it is better for you to execute judgment and justice.
16 Aman vaicha gentheite apanpin, dihtah in vai ahom e. chule ama din imajouse aphatouvin akhangtouve. Hiche hi hilouham, keima toh kivopjing, kitichu,’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
They understood not, they judged not the cause of the afflicted, nor the cause of the poor: is not this your not knowing me? says the Lord.
17 Nang invang, namit teni leh nalungthim hi, nangma changseh ding le alamlouva phatchomna muna ding bouvin naming in; monabei nathat in, vaicha gentheite nabol gentheijin, chule hepina umlouvin vai nahom e.
Behold, your eyes are not good, nor your heart, but [they go] after your covetousness, and after the innocent blood to shed it, and after acts of injustice and slaughter, to commit them.
18 Hijeh chun, Josaih chapa Jehoiakim chung thuhi, Pakaiyin hitin aseiye. “Amapa hi, mihon athini le along a-oplou diu, vo sopipa vo golpa tiajong koima kaplou ding ahi. Amite jeng injong, vo Lengpa, kapu tia akapi umlou ding ahiuve.
Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Joakim son of Josias, king of Juda, even concerning this man; they shall not bewail him, [saying], Ah brother! neither shall they at all weep for him, [saying], Alas Lord.
19 Athi long chu, sangan thisa kivui banga, Jerusalem khopia kon’a kikaidoh’a, kelkot polam’a gakivui ding ahi.
He shall be buried with the burial of an ass; he shall be dragged roughly along and cast outside the gate of Jerusalem.
20 Lebanon’a naloi ho din kapin, chule amaho ding chu Bashan mun’a othong leuvin gasamin. Ab’arim mun’a amaho chu gaholtan, chule amaho din kapin, amaho chu abon'un akisugamtauve.
Go up to Libanus, and cry; and utter your voice to Basan, and cry aloud to the extremity of the sea: for all your lovers are destroyed.
21 Nangma nakhantoupet in kana hil in, Ahinlah, nangman ngaiseh in naneipoi. Hitia hi, naneolaiya pat a kathusei ngailouva hung umpeh chu nahi.
I spoke to you on [occasion of] your trespass, but you said, I will not listen. This [has been] your way from your youth, you have not listened to my voice.
22 Tua hi, khopi huiyin napankhompi jouse asumang ding chule naloi nagol ho abon’a sohchanga kikaimang ding ahiuve. Chutahle nagitlouna ho jal’a, nangma najah chading chule nakisuh lungdong ding ahi.
The wind shall tend all your shepherds, and your lovers shall go into captivity; for then shall you be ashamed and disgraced because of all your lovers.
23 Lebanon gam Cedar thinga kisa leng inpi hoitah sung’a busah chu anom e. Hijongle, numei naosonat tobanga nathoh gimmna ding hesoh gentheina nachunga hung lhung ding ahi.
O you that dwell in Libanus, making your nest in the cedars, you shall groan heavily, when pangs as of a travailing woman are come upon you.
24 Pakaiyin aseiye, ‘Keima kahing jinge. Juda lengpa Jehoiakim chapa Jehoiachin, keiman nagma kadalhah ding nahi. Keidinga nangma hi kajitlam’a kibut khutjem nahivangin, kasutlhah ding nahi.
[As] I live, says the Lord, though Jechonias son of Joakim king of Juda were indeed the seal upon my right hand, thence would I pluck you;
25 Nanghi, thadinga nahol namelmate khut’a, chule nakichat mama jeng Nebuchadnezzar leh asepaite khut’a kapehdoh nahitai.
and I will deliver you into the hands of them that seek your life, before whom you are afraid, into the hands of the Chaldeans.
26 Nang le nanu jong hiche gamsung’a kon’a kanodoh ding, chule nangma hiche gamsunga nathi lou ding, migam danga nathiden ding ahi.
And I will cast forth you, and your mother that bore you, into a land where you were not born; and there you shall die.
27 Chule nagam’a nahung kilekit tah louding ahi.
But they shall by no means return to the land which they long for in their souls.
28 Ibol’a Jehoiachin kitipa hi, belkehsa panna neilou banga um hitam? Ibol’a ama leh achate jouse mi gamdanga soh’a kinomang u hitam?
Jechonias is dishonored as a good-for-nothing vessel; for he is thrown out and cast forth into a land which he knew not.
29 Vo leiset, vo gam leiset, Pakai thusei hi ngaiyun!
Land, land, hear the word of the Lord.
30 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Jehoiachin kitipa hi, son leh pah neilou, ahinkho sunga ima boldohlou mipa ahi, tin sunlut un. Ajeh chu achate atute khatcha beh jong, David laltouna touva, Judah gamsung a vaihom ding umlou ding ahi.
Write you this man an outcast: for there shall none of his seed at all grow up to sit on the throne of David, [or as] a prince yet in Juda.
