Jeremiah 24

1 Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar in, Judahte lengpa Jehoiakim chapa Jehoiachin, Judah leng chapate ho, khutthem bolho leh thingthem bolho jouse, Babylon gam’a soh’a akaimang nung un, Pakaiyin hiche gao-thilmu hi, keima eimusah e. Hichu, Jerusalem houin maiya, theichangga pochani dimset akitung’e.

Jehovah showed me this vision. Behold, two baskets of figs were set before the temple of Jehovah. This was after Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, had carried away captive Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, and the artificers, and the smiths, from Jerusalem, and had led them to Babylon.

2 Pocha khat’a chun, theichangga apha leh amin hoisel adimset in, chuleh pocha khat’a chun, theichangga phalou leh nehthei lou amonsa dimset in aum e.

One of the baskets contained very good figs, like those which are first ripe. The other contained very bad figs, so bad that they could not be eaten.

3 Chuin Pakaiyin kajah’a, “Jeremiah, ipi namum?’’ ati. Keiman kadonbut in,’’Theichangga pochani dim kamui. Aga pha hochu ahoilheh in; Aga phalou ho chu nehtheilou amon ngen ahiuve,’’ kati.

And Jehovah said to me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said: Figs; the good figs, exceedingly good; and the bad, exceedingly bad, so bad that they cannot be eaten.

4 Chujouvin, Pakai thusei hichehi, kaheng ahung lhung e.

Then came the word of Jehovah to me, saying:

5 Pakai, Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye, “Judah gamsunga kon’a Babylon gam’a sohchanga kikaimang ho chu, theichangga apha leh ahoisel ho banga kagel ahi.

Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: As these good figs, so will I regard the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of Chaldaea for their good;

6 Keiman amaho kavetlhih jinga kachin jing ding, chuleh amaho chu hiche gamsunga kahin lepuilut kitding ahiuve.

yea, I will set my eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land; and I will build them up, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.

7 Keiman amaho hi, keima Pakai kahi ti eihetjing nadiu lungchang kapeh diu ahiuve. Chuleh amaho kamite hiuva, keima a Pathen u kahiding; Chutahle amaho alungthim pumpiuva kaheng’a hung kile kitdiu ahiuve.

And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am Jehovah; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God; for they shall return to me with their whole heart.

8 Chuleh theichangga phalou chu, Judah lengpa Zedekiah leh achapate, Jerusalem’a umden ho leh Egypt gamsunga cheng den ho, kabolna ding vetsahna ahi. Keiman amaho chu theichangga phalou, nehtheilou amonsa banga kalah ahiuve.

And as the bad figs, which are so bad that they cannot be eaten, saith Jehovah, so will I make Zedekiah, the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, those that are left in this land, and those that dwell in the land of Egypt;

9 Amaho hi keiman namtin vaipi mudinga, thet umtah leh melse tah’a kabol ding; Chuleh amaho hi, keiman muntin’a kadel manga, kathethang ding ahiuve. Chutia chu miho seiset leh nuisat a umding ahiuve.

and I will give them up to oppression and affliction in all the kingdoms of the earth; yea, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them.

10 Keiman amaho leh apu apateu kana pehsa gamsunga kon amanthah kahseuva chemjam kalha den diu, kel lha ding chule thina hise jong kalha khum diu ahi,” ati.

And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence among them, till they be consumed from the land, which I gave to them and to their fathers.
