< Jeremiah 25 >
1 Judah lengpa Josiah chapa Jehoiakim lengchan kal kumli lhin kum in, Pakaiyin Jeremiah heng’a, Judah mite jouse dingin thu ahinseiye. Hiche kum chu, Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar lengchan kipat kum ahi.
The word which came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon;
2 Hichu Jeremiah themgao pan jong Judah mite leh Jerusalem mite jouse heng’a aseitai.
which Jeremiah the prophet spake to all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying: —
3 Judah lengpa Amon chapa Josiah lengchan kal kum som le thum lhin’a pat tuni geiyin, kum somni le thum sungin, Pakaiyin kaheng a thu ahin seijing in ahi. Keiman hiche thuho chu, tanglou hel in nangho heng’a kaseison jing in, ahivangin nanghon ngaikhohna naneideh pouve.
From the thirteenth year of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah, even to this day, for three and twenty years, the word of Jehovah hath come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened.
4 Pakaiyin avel vel in, alhacha themgao ho naheng uva ahinsol jing in, ahivangin nanghon gelkhohna naneipouvin chule jah’a hetding jong nagel dehpouve.
Also Jehovah hath sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear.
5 Pakai thusei chu hiche ahi, “Nanghon nalamlhahnau lamdih louva kon in hung kihei kit unlang, chule nathilse bol’u chu hindalhauvin. Chutahle nangho chu, keiman napu napateu kana pehsa gamsung’a kachensah ding nahiuve.
“Turn ye now,” said they, “every one from your evil way, and from your evil doings, and ye shall dwell in the land which Jehovah gave to you and to your fathers for ever and ever.
6 Nanghon nakisemdoh u pathen chom chom ho houna leh chibai bolna-a pandauvin. Keima neiphin lunghang hih un, chutile keiman nangho kabolset loudiu nahiuve,’’ ati.
And go not after strange gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the work of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.”
7 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Nanghon kathusei nangaipouve. Nanghon nakisem’u milimdoi chu nahouvun, keima neiphin lunghang uvin, nachunguva chiding jumna leh hamsetna nakiloilut’u ahitai.
But ye have not hearkened to me, saith Jehovah, that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.
8 Tun Pakai van Pathen chun hitin aseiye. Nanghon kathusei donlouva nakoitah jeh’un,
Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Because ye have not hearkened to my words,
9 Keiman sahlam gam’a kon’a Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar leh namtin vaipi kachop khomding. Keiman amaho chu hiche gamsung douding, agamsung mite leh akimvel’a chengho doudinga kahin sollut ding ahi. Chule keiman nangho aitih a dinga kasuh mang ding, chule namtin vetset leh kidah umtah’a kalha ding nahiuve.
behold, I will send and take all the nations of the North, saith Jehovah, and Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land and its inhabitants, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and a perpetual desolation.
10 Chule keiman nakipanau ogin leh nalasah’u ogin kasuh bei peh ding, jinei ding numei leh pasal kipa thanopna jong kasuh bei ding ahi. Chuteng nain uva sumhei-song gin thip ding, na thaomei jong vahlou ding ahitai.
Yea, I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the mill-stones, and the light of the lamp.
11 Hiche gam pumpi hi, pannabei gamkeo sohding, chule kum somsagi sunga chu Israel leh akimvel a gamsung miten, Babylon lengpa ajenle diu ahi.
And this whole land shall be a desolation and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
12 Chujouteng, asohchannau kum som sagi ahung kichai nungle, keiman Babylon lengpa leh amite chu agitlounau jal’a, achunguva talen kamatsah ding ahi. Agamsung pumpiu chu, pannabei leh gam homkeova kakoipeh ding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
But when seventy years shall have passed, I will punish the king of Babylon and his nation for their iniquity, saith Jehovah, and the land of the Chaldaeans, and I will make it a perpetual desolation.
13 Chule keiman amaho chunga tijat umtah kathutepsa jouse leh, Jeremiah aphondohsa achunguva chiding talen ho chu, aguilhung lou umlouva kalha ding ahi.
And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.
14 Chule namtin vaipi nasatah hole leng lentah tah hon, Babylon te soh’a avuldiu; Hita chu amahon kamite abolgentheinau bang banga chu, achunguva kalethuh ding ahi, ati.
For they, even they, shall be brought into subjection to many nations and great kings. I will render to them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.
15 Pakai Israel Pathen chun keima jah’a hitin aseiye. “Hiche kalung hanna khon hi, kakhut’a kon in kilah inlang, keiman nangma kasolna namtin vaipi ho chu donsah in.
For thus hath Jehovah, the God of Israel, said to me: Take this cup of the wine of wrath from my hand; and let all the nations to which I shall send thee drink of it.
16 Amahon hichu don uvintin, chuteng keiman amaho douna thu kasei jal’a, amaho lonle louva chule ngoldoh gamding ahiuve,’’ati.
Let them drink, and stagger, and become mad because of the sword which I am about to send among them.
17 Hijeh chun keiman Pakai lunghanna khon chu kalan, Pakaiyin eisolna namtin vaipi ho chu abonchauvin kadonsahtai.
So I took the cup from the hand of Jehovah, and gave it to all the nations to drink, to which Jehovah sent me;
18 Keima Jerusalem leh Judah gamsunga khopi dang jousea kachen, lengho leh leng chapate jouse jong, hiche khon’a chun adonsoh tauve. Hiche nikho’a pat tunia hitia keohel’a, datmo umleuva, chule gaosap chang dingin,
to Jerusalem and to the cities of Judah, and to the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a curse; [[as it is this day.]]
19 Keiman hiche khon chu, Egypt lengpa Pharaoh leh agamsung vaipote, chule asohte leh agamsung mite jouse,
To Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to his servants, and to his princes, and to all his people,
20 Chule agamsunguva gamchom mi chengho jouse, kapetan ahi. Keiman UZ gamsunga lengho jong, Philistine gamsunga lengho jong, chuleh Ashlkelon, Gaza. Ekron leh Ashdod khopi ho a umden ho jouse jong, kapetan ahi.
and all the allied people; and to all the kings of the land of Uz, and to all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and to Askelon, and to Gaza, and to Ekron, and to the remnant of Ashdod;
21 Chuleh Edom mite, Moab mite, Ammon mite jong,
to Edom, and to Moab, and to the children of Ammon;
22 Chuleh Tyre le Sidon lengho leh twikhanglen gal’a twipi panga chengho jong abonchauvin kapetai.
and to all the kings of Tyre, and to all the kings of Sidon, and to the kings of the lands which are beyond the sea;
23 Chule keiman Dedan, Tema, Buz chuleh gam ningkoi lah’a chengho kapetai.
to Dedan, and to Tema, and to Buz, and to all that shave the cheek;
24 Chule Arabia lengte, nelphaiya chengho jong,
and to all the kings of Arabia, and to all the kings of the allied people who dwell in the desert;
25 Zimrilengte Elam le Media lengte jong, keiman kapetai
and to all the kings of Zimri, and to all the kings of Elam, and to all the kings of Media;
26 Chule keiman sahlam gamsung jousea, anai le agamla a um lengho, aban banin, chule leiset chunga lenggam jouse jong kapetai. Achainakeiyin, Babylon lengpa, amatah injong Pakai lunghanna khon chu adontai.
and to all the kings of the North, those that are near, and those that are afar off with respect to each other, and to all the kingdoms of the earth which are upon the face of the ground; and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
27 Chuin Pakaiyin kajah’a hitin aseiye, “Tun amaho seipeh in, Pakai Hatchungnung Israel Pathen chun aseiye. Kalunghanna khon’a chun don uvin, donkhamset unlang lolha kit uvin. Kiseplhu uvin lang thou kit hih un, ajeh chu keiman nangho douna-a nalah uva chemjam kahin lhalut ding ahi,’’ natiding ahi.
And say to them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink ye and be drunken, and vomit, and fall to rise no more because of the sword which I am about to send among you.
28 Ijemtia amahon hiche khon’a chu donding adauva ahileh; Nangman amaho jah’a chu, Pakai Hatchungnung in hitin aseiye, nanaghon hiche khon’a hi nadon teitei diu ahi.
And if they refuse to take the cup from thy hand to drink, then say to them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Ye shall surely drink!
29 Ajeh chu, keiman kamin’a kikou Jerusalem khopi chu talen kamatsah pan ahitai. Nangho iti talen manlouva kalha ding nahiuvem Nangho talen manlouva naumlou heldiu ahi. Ajeh chu, keiman leiset chung cheng jouse douna-a gal kabolkhum ding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye,’’ natiding ahi.
For behold, upon the city which is called by my name I begin to bring evil; and shall ye go wholly unpunished? Ye shall not go unpunished; for I am about to call the sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith Jehovah of hosts.
30 Hijeh chun nangman amaho douna thu hichenghi, gaovinlang ajah uva naseipeh ding; “Pakai chu achenna van mun thenga kon’a hung kitum ding, lengpiga chil ho husa bang’a, hung husa hamlet lut ding ahi. Chule ama chu, leiset chunga cheng jouse douna-a hung kisen jah ding ahi.
Therefore, prophesy against them all these words, and say to them: —Jehovah shall roar from on high, From his holy habitation shall he utter his voice; He shall roar aloud against his dwelling-place; A shout like that of vintagers shall he raise Against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 Ama thutanna ogin chu leiset mong geiya kitol le le ding, ajeh chu Pakaiyin namtin vaipi chunga douna thu ahinlhut ding ahi. Aman leiset chunga namtin vaipi chunga thu atanding, chule migiloute jouse chemjam’a alousah ding ahi,’’tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
An outcry shall reach to the ends of the earth; For Jehovah hath a controversy with the nations; He entereth into judgment with all flesh; The wicked will he give up to the sword, saith Jehovah.
32 Pakai Hatchungnung in hitin aseiye, Ven, namtin vaipi chunga hamsetna khohtah, aban ban’a hunglhung ding. Chimpei hattah leiset mang langkhat apat hung doh ding ahi.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, And a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the extremities of the earth.
33 Hiche nikho chuleh, Pakaiyin mi athaho thilong chu leiset mang langkhat’a pat langkhat geiya kijam chap diu; Amaho chu akadiu leh alunghempi diu mi umlou ding, chule chom khom’a avei ding jong mi umlou ding ahi. Athilong u chu tollhanga chu kithethang’a monlha ding ahiuve.
At that day shall the slain of Jehovah lie From one end of the earth to the other end of the earth; They shall not be lamented, nor gathered, nor buried; They shall be dung upon the ground.
34 Vo, kelngoi ching phalou ho, nangho kap’uvin lang maovun! Chule nangho kelngoi hon lah’a apipu ho, tollhanga vutlah’a kile le leuvin! Nakithanadiu nikho ahung lhunge, nangma nalhuh ding leibel kehbai tah bang’a namanthah ding ahi.
Howl, O ye shepherds, and cry! Roll yourselves in the dust, ye leaders of the flock, For your time to be slaughtered has come! And I will scatter you, and ye shall fall like a goodly vessel.
35 Nangman kiselna ding mun nanei louding, chule jamdoh nading lampi namulou ding ahi.
The shepherds shall have no way to flee, Nor the leaders of the flock to escape.
36 Ngaiyun, kelngoi chingho ka-gin khu, chule kelngoi honlah’a apipu ho pen-gin khu! Ajeh chu, Pakaiyin anehdiu hamhing jouse asuhmangpeh ahitai.
[[Hark!]] the voice of the cry of the shepherds, And the wailing of the leaders of the flock, Because Jehovah layeth waste their pasture!
37 Pakai lunghan khohse chun, lungmong tah’a achennau hamhing lah jouse chu, nelphai gamhomkeo asotai.
Yea, the peaceful pastures are destroyed Because of the fierce anger of Jehovah.
38 Keipi in akiselna songko adalhah bangin, Aman amite adalhatai. Pakai lunghanna nasatah leh galmirte chemjam chun, gamsung chu nelgam homkeovin akoitai.
He hath left, like a lion, his covert; For their land is become desolate, Because of the wrath of the destroying sword, And because of the fierceness of his anger.
