Jeremiah 3
1 Vetan, pasal khat in ajinu ada-a, amanu chu achemanga michomtoh akichenteng, ajiluipa chu amanu heng’a galutji mong am? Chutitaleh, amanuchun gamsung pumpi chu asuhboh ding ahitai. Israel, nangjong nadongma tamtah angsunga noti banga naum nunga, ibol’a kahenga hung kile kit go nahim? tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
...saying: If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, may he return unto her again? Will not that land be greatly polluted? But thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; and wouldest thou yet return to Me? saith the LORD.
2 Khodah in lhangvum lai laiya doiphung hokhu ven, semthu pathen chom chomho chibai nabohlouna mun um am? Gamthip noiya noti bangin, nachangin natouvin, setpi dingin kholche vahle ho nangah in, nachonna ho jouse chun gamsung pumpi asuhboh ahitai.
Lift up thine eyes unto the high hills, and see: Where hast thou not been lain with? By the ways hast thou sat for them, as an Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy harlotries and with thy wickedness.
3 Hiche jehtah chun, aphat phat’a hung julhaji go leh dai jong atangtai. Ajeh chu, jumleh ja helouhel in noti bangin, nangma nachontai.
Therefore the showers have been withheld, and there hath been no latter rain; yet thou hadst a harlot's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.
4 Ahivang in tuhin kajah’a, “Nangma kapa nahin, kaneova pat neihin khoukhah jing ahi,’’ nati.
Didst thou not just now cry unto Me: 'My father, Thou art the friend of my youth.
5 “Kachunga lunghang denpon natin chuleh atonsot in nei lunghan denpon nate,’’ nati. Ahin hitia naseivangin, nangman nanop nop in ase naboljingin, nachon namlhah nanga dehpoi,’’ ati.
Will He bear grudge for ever? Will He keep it to the end?' Behold, thou hast spoken, but hast done evil things, and hast had thy way.
6 Josiah lengpa nikholaiyin, Pakaiyin kajah’a thu ahinseitai, “Israel in kitahlouhel’a, thilse hichengpi aboldoh hi, namu hitalou ham? Numei aji umkhat michom toh ajon bangin, lhangsanglai jousea thingphungnoi tin’a, noti chon banga achon’a chuleh pathen semthu ho ahou jingkhu, nahetsoh hilou ham?’’
And the LORD said unto me in the days of Josiah the king: 'Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel did? she went up upon every high mountain and under every leafy tree, and there played the harlot.
7 Hicheho pikhu gaboldoh jongleh, keima heng’a hung kilekit teidin kanangah’e. Ahivangin amanu ahungkilekit dehpon, chuleh achonthanghoina ho chu, asopinu michavai Judah chun akimudoh sohkit ahitai.
And I said: After she hath done all these things, she will return unto me; but she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
8 Israel chu michom toh ajon’a, kitahlou tah’a aumjeh’a, keiman amachu kada-a kadelmang ahichu, asopinu Judah in amusoh ahitai. Ahivangin, michavainu Judah in, hitiho chu kichat in aneidehpoi. Keiya konin amanu avahmangin, noti chon in achontai.
And I saw, when, forasmuch as backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a bill of divorcement, that yet treacherous Judah her sister feared not; but she also went and played the harlot;
9 Amanun noti chon’a achonna chu imalouvin agel’in, thingphung songphung ahouvin, chuleh mitoh ajongin gamsung asubohtai.
and it came to pass through the lightness of her harlotry, that the land was polluted, and she committed adultery with stones and with stocks;
10 Ahinlah hichengse abolnungin jong, asopinu michavainu Judah chu kahenga lungtheng selin ahung kilekit dehpon, amanun akisih banga abol jouse hi, kilepna-a abolthu ahibouve, tin keima Pakaiyin kasei ahitai.
and yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not returned unto Me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD —
11 Chuin Pakaiyin kajah’a, “Israel chu achonchatvai lheh vang'in, asopinu Judah kitah louna sangin athemmona alhomjoi.”
even the LORD said unto me — backsliding Israel hath proved herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.
12 Hijeh chun, Israel henga chenlang, hiche thuhi gaseitan, “Vo Israel, kitahlou kamite nahiuve, tun kahenga hung kilekit tauvin. Ajeh chu keima khoto them leh hepi them kahin, atonsot in nachung’a lunghang jing ponge,’’ ati.
Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say: Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; I will not frown upon you; for I am merciful, saith the LORD, I will not bear grudge for ever.
13 Nathemmona kihet in, Pakai na Pathen douna-a nachonset naho, thingphungnoi tin’a doilim pathen ho nahouva, chuleh mitoh najon naho chu, phongdoh poupouvin. Nangman kathusei jouse jong nangai poi,’’ tin Pakayin kaphondoh ahitai.
Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every leafy tree, and ye have not hearkened to My voice, saith the LORD.
14 Vo kitahlou vahmang chate, keima henga hung kilekit uvin, tin Pakaiyin aseiye. Ijeh inem itileh, keima nangho dinga na Pakaiyu kahi. Keiman nangho munchom chom’a pat’a kalahkhom ding, khopi khat’a mini kalah ding, Israel gamsung’a kahin lepuilut ding nahiuve, “ati.
Return, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am a lord unto you, and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion;
15 Chuleh keiman kadeitah, nangho kelngoi chinbanga nachingtup diu khat kapeh ding nahiuve. Aman nangho chunga hetna leh thil hetkhen themna toh tho’a, napuihoi diu ahi.
and I will give you shepherds according to My heart, who shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
16 Chuleh nangho napunbe cheh cheh uva, gamsung chu nadimset teng uleh, Pakai kitepna thingkong naputleuva nakipanau nikholai chu ngaitapouvin nate. Gel jong nageldoh tahlou diu chuleh hiche nikholai chu nalungvil kit tahlou diu, chuleh thingkong jong nasemphat kit tahlou diu ahi,’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
And it shall come to pass, when ye are multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more: The ark of the covenant of the LORD; neither shall it come to mind; neither shall they make mention of it; neither shall they miss it; neither shall it be made any more.
17 Hiche nikho chuleh, Jerusalem chu Pakai laltouna kiti ding, namtin jouse Jerusalem’a hung kikhom’uva Pakai chu ajabol diu ahi. Chuphatleh amaho louchal tah’a umtalou diu, chuleh alung’uva gitlouna agelbang uva chu chontalou diu ahi.
At that time they shall call Jerusalem The throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem; neither shall they walk any more after the stubbornness of their evil heart.
18 Chuche nikholeh, Judah leh Israel mite chu asohchannau sahlam gam’a pat’a, hung kilekhom kit uva, keiman apu apateu kapehsa gamsung’a chu hunglut kit’uva, aitih’a gamsung chu aloden diu ahitai.
In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.'
19 Keiman kanagel chu, “Nanghi kachateho lah’a kasimtha-a, keiman hiche gam leiset hoitah leh aphapen hi, nang kapehdoh nahi. Chuleh nangma keiya kon’a avel’a napotdoh kittah louding ahi.
But I said: 'How would I put thee among the sons, and give thee a pleasant land, the goodliest heritage of the nations!' And I said: 'Thou shalt call Me, My father; and shalt not turn away from following Me.'
20 Ahivangin vo Israel mite! Nangho keiya dingin kitahna beikei nahiuve. Tahbeh mongin, numei kitahloutah khat in ajipa adalhah’a chavaitah’a achon bang’a, nangma naum ahitai, “tin keima Pakaiyin kasei ahitai.
Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with Me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD.
21 Lhangvum chaivet vut’a kon, ogin nasatah akijai, hichu Israrel chate kana leh thumna ogin ahi. Ajeh chu amahon achenau lampi chu akaleh lam in akilhen un, chuleh Pakai a Pathen’u chu asumiltauvin ahi.
Hark! upon the high hills is heard the suppliant weeping of the children of Israel; for that they have perverted their way, they have forgotten the LORD their God.
22 Pakaiyin aseiye,’’ Kitahna bei kamite, kahenga hung kilekit’uvin, chuleh keiman nakitahlounau lungthim chu kabol dam ding ahi,’’ ati. Amahon adonbut’un, “Nahenga kahungtauve! Ijeh inem itileh, nangma keiho Pakai leh ka Pathen’u nahibouve, atiuvin ahi.
Return, ye backsliding children, I will heal your backslidings. — 'Here we are, we are come unto Thee; for Thou art the LORD our God.
23 Thinglhang jousea semthu doilim ihouva, chuleh molsangvum tin’a doi houna maicham phung iboljouse hi, abon’a pannabei leh kilhep lhahna ahibouve. Tahbeh mongin, Israel dingin huhhingna chu Pakai I Pathen uva bou um ahi.
Truly vain have proved the hills, the uproar on the mountains; truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel.
24 Neolaiya pat’a ihinmu jing’u, pulehpa ten gimtah’a – akelngoiho ding, aganchaho ding, chuleh achapate leh achanute ding, abol jouseu jong chu pannabei leh kilheplhahna ahibouve.
But the shameful thing hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
25 Eiho tun jum manin tol’ah kijam’u hitin, mihon noisetah’a ibolnau chu kikhuden sah’ute. Ajeh chu eiho leh iputeuvin, Pakai I Pathen’u dounan chonset inaboltauve. Ajeh chu eihon ineolaiyuva pat tuni geiyin I Pathen’u ogin ingaipouvin chuleh ijuitapouve.
Let us lie down in our shame, and let our confusion cover us; for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day; and we have not hearkened to the voice of the LORD our God.'
