Jeremiah 31

1 Hiche nikho lechun, Israel insung pumpia a Pathen’u kahi ding, chuleh amaho ka mite hiding ahiuve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.

At that time, says Jehovah, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.

2 Hitobang manthah na hunglhung a kon’a hingdoh jouse chu, Pakaiyin aseiye, amahon gamkeulah jeng a jong Phattheina amudiu ahi. Ijeh inem itileh, keiman Israel mite kacholdosah phat ahitai, ati.

Thus says Jehovah: The people who were left of the sword found favor in the wilderness, even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.

3 Pakaiyin Israel jah a hitin aseiye, ‘Khang masalai apat’a, kalungset nahiuve.

Jehovah appeared of old to me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love. Therefore with loving kindness I have drawn thee.

4 Kamite vo, Israel nungah thengtah, keiman nangma kasahphat kit ding nahi. Chutengle nangma nakipa ding, chuleh khutbeh pum’a nalam ding ahin, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.

Again I will build thee, and thou shall be built, O virgin of Israel. Again thou shall be adorned with thy tambourine, and shall go forth in the dances of those who make merry.

5 Nangman Samaria molsang chung ho’a, lengpilei nakibol’a, chuleh nangma honlei’a ga chu naneh ding ahi.

Again thou shall plant vineyards upon the mountains of Samaria. The planters shall plant, and shall enjoy it.

6 Ephraim molsang chung’a khongah’a panghon, mi ahinkou diu, hung uvin, eiho Jerusalem a chetou vuhitin, Pakai I Pathen u gahouvu hite, atidingu nikho chu hunglhung ding ahi, ati.

For there shall be a day that the watchmen upon the hills of Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion to Jehovah our God.

7 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, ‘kipahtah in Israel din la sauvin! Namtin vaipi lah’a aodoh jeng un, thangvah pumin vahchoi un! Vo, Pakai Israel mite amoh chengse hi, huhdoh in, tiuvin.

For thus says Jehovah: Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout for the chief of the nations. Publish ye, praise ye, and say, O Jehovah, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.

8 Ajeh chu keiman amaho chenghi, sahlam gamho akon chule leiset ningli a kon’a, kahin puikhom ding ahiuve. Keiman mitcho ho, elbai ho, numei naovop laileh naosonat pet hojong, haimil ponge. Mitampi, ahon hon’a hung kile kitdiu ahi.

Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the outermost parts of the earth, and with them the blind man and the lame man, the woman with child, and she who travails with child together. They shall return here a great company.

9 Kamite amai uva kipana mitlhi vachut chut ding, keiman amaho chu hepitah aa inmun uva kahin puilut kit ding ahiuve. Vadung panglah’a thimjel’a lam ajot diu, akiselhuh lou nadiuva lampi nomtah’a cediu; ajeh chu keima Israel ding a apa kahin, chule Epharaim chu kacha masapen ahi.

They shall come with weeping. And I will lead them with supplications. I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way in which they shall not stumble. For I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

10 Namtin vaipin, Pakai thusei hohi ngai uvin. Gamlatah’a twikhanglen pang’a cheng ho heng’a gaphongdoh uvin. Kelngoi chingpan akelngoite ahoitup bang’a kamite ana thengthang jongleng, keiman amaho chu kahin khopkhom kit’a, kangatup ding ahi.

Hear the word of Jehovah, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd does his flock.

11 Ajeh chu, Pakaiyin Israel mite chu, achung'uva thunei namtin vaipi hoa kon’a, ahuhdoh’a ajalensah ahitai.

For Jehovah has ransomed Jacob, and redeemed him from the hand of him who was stronger than he.

12 Amaho a in uva hung kile kit uva, Jerusalem molvum’a kikhom diu, kipa nopna la asah diu ahi. Pakai phattheiboh tampi chang uva, vah bang a imatdiu; changle mem, lengpitwi thah thah, olive thao, chule kelngoi ahon hon’a, ninglhing sel’a aneidiu ahi. Ahinkhou chu, twi kichapnou jing honlei bang’a, hing dildel ding chule agenthei nau asuhmil diu ahitai.

And they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow to the goodness of Jehovah, to the grain, and to the new wine, and to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd. And their soul shall be as a watered garden, and they shall not sorrow any more at all.

13 Chutengle nungah ho kipah thanom’a lam ding’u, chuleh gollhang holeh upa ho jong kipah thanom diu ahi. Keiman alung hemnau chu kipana-a kaheidoh peh’a, amaho kalhamon ding, chuleh agenthei nau chu kipa golnop’a kaheidoh ding ahi.

Then the virgin shall rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old together, for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.

14 Chutah le thempu hon nang jeng’a anneh amu diu, chuleh kamiten amaho ding’a kaphat naho chu ninglhingsel a amu uva, kipah thanom’a amu diu ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.

And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, says Jehovah.

15 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, ‘Rama kho’a kalemnau agin akijai, lhase tahle lainatah a ka-gin ahi. Rachel in achate akipi pi jeng in, achate abeisoh tah jeh in, ama lhepbi ding anompoi.

Thus says Jehovah: A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping. Rachel weeping for her children, she refused to be comforted for her children, because they are not.

16 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, nangma kap tahih in, chule namitlhi jong hulsah tan. Ajeh chu natohman nakipe ding, chule gamla tah’a kon’a nachate naheng’a hung kile kit ding ahiuve, ati.

Thus says Jehovah: Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears, for thy work shall be rewarded, says Jehovah, and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.

17 Na khonung thu ding uchu kinep na aum e. Pakai yin aseiye, nachate nagam uva hung kile kit teiding ahiuve, ati.

And there is hope for thy latter end, says Jehovah, and thy sons shall come again to their own border.

18 Keiman Israel ka-gin kajan, hitin aseiye. ‘Bongnou natohji hilthem loulai bang in, nang in keima nei sudihtai. Nang in keima neinung puikit in, neisempha kit tai. Ajeh chu nangma Pakai ka-Pathen nahi, ati.

I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself saying, Thou have chastised me, and I was chastised as a calf unaccustomed to the yoke. Turn thou me back, and I shall be turned back, for thou are Jehovah my God.

19 Ijeh inem itile, keiman Pathen kanungsun nung in, kalung kakhel kit in; keile kei kaki chume. Ajeh chu, kaneo vapat kana bolse ho jal'in, ka kisulungdong in, kajahachai.

Surely after that I was turned back. I repented, and after I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh. I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I bore the reproach of my youth.

20 Israel chu kacha deitah hilou ham? Tin Pakai in aseiye. Keiman achung’a talen kamatsah jing vang'in, keiman ama kangailu jing’e. Hijeh chun, kalung in ama bou angai’in, chuleh ama chung’a hepi na kanei jing’e, ati.

Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he a darling child? For as often as I speak against him, I do earnestly remember him still. Therefore my heart yearns for him. I will surely have mercy upon him, says Jehovah.

21 Nangman nalampi melchihna kisim inlang, chuleh nalampi’a lamhil khom ho jong tung in. Na lampi chu phaten ki melchih inlang, hiche’a chun hung kinung kit in, Vo Israel, nungah theng. Nakhopi’a hung kile kit in.

Set thee up road marks. Make thee guideposts. Set thy heart toward the highway, even the way by which thou went. Turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.

22 Vo chanu kitah lou nu, itih chan nangma navathai ding ham? Pakai in gamsung’a thil thah khat asoh sah ding ahi. Israel in a Pathen chu akolchah ding ahitai.

How long will thou go here and there, O thou backsliding daughter? For Jehovah has created a new thing in the earth: a woman shall encompass a man.

23 Hatchungnung Pakai, Israel Pathen in asei e, keiman asohchan nao gamtin’a kon’a, agamsung uva kahin le pui lut kit teng: Judah gamsung le akhopi jouseuva cheng hon, Jerusalem lhang theng adih ho chenna mun, Pakai in phattheiboh hen, ati diu ahi, ati.

Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Yet again they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof when I shall bring again their captivity: Jehovah bless thee, O habitation of righteousness, O mountain of holiness.

24 Chuteng khopi a cheng ho, lou bol mi ho chuleh kelngoi ching ho, abonchao va chamdel leh kipahtah’a cheng khom ding ahi tao ve.

And Judah and all the cities thereof shall dwell in there together, the husbandmen, and those who go about with flocks.

25 Ijeh in nem itileh, acholte tha ki dodohsah ing ting, chuleh genthei te kipana kapeh ding ahi, ati.

For I have satiated the weary soul, and every sorrowful soul I have replenished.

26 Chuin keima kathou doh in, kavet’a ahileh, ka emut chu katha aki dochom lhe in, lunglhei aume, ati diu ahi.

Upon this I awoke, and beheld, and my sleep was sweet to me.

27 Pakai in aseiye “keiman Israel leh Judah gamsunga, mihem holeh gancha ho ka punjal sah ding, nikho chu ahunglhunge, ati.

Behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.

28 Hiche nam mitehi, keiman ajungu kabo doh a, kana suh gim ahitaove. Keiman amahohi kalekhup in, ka sugam in, chuleh hahsatna kalhutkhum ahitai. Hijongleh keiman ama ho hi kaphulut kit ding chuleh kasahphat kitding ahiuve, kei Pakaiyin kasei ahi, ati.

And it shall come to pass that, just as I have watched over them to pluck up and to break down and to overthrow and to destroy and to afflict, so I will watch over them to build and to plant, says Jehovah.

29 Hiche nikho chuleh, alah uva anakisei jing thuchih, “anu apa ten theithuh aneo vin achateu ha ajat loi” kiti chu koiman avela anungsei tahlou diu ahi.

In those days they shall no more say, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the son's teeth are set on edge.

30 Ajeh chu mijouse chu ama ama chonset jeh a thiding: hichu, theithuh nekha chan jong chu ama ama ha jacheh ding ahi, ati.

But everyone shall die for his own iniquity. Every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.

31 Pakaiyin aseie hiche nikho chu ahung lhunge, ‘keiman Israel mite le Judah mite toh, kitepna thah khat kasemdoh nading chu, ati.

Behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah,

32 Hiche kitepna thah chu, keiman Egypt gam’a kon’a apu pa teu kahin puidohlaiya, ama ho toh kanasemdoh kitepna tabongchu hilouding ahi. Ajeh chu keiman ama ho chu, innei pun a-innei pi alungset banga kana lungset vang'in, ama hon hichi kitepna chu ana suhkeh taovin ahi, tin Pakai in aseiye.

not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them, says Jehovah.

33 Amavang, Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, keiman Israel mite toh hichi kitepna thah hi kasemdoh nikho chuleh, keiman amaho chu asungil uva umden ding a thupih kanei ding, chuleh hichiho chu alungchang uvakajehlut pih ding ahi. Chutahleh amaho chu kamite hiuva, keima a-Pathen u kahi ding ahi, ati.

But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says Jehovah: I will give my laws into their mind, and I will write them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

34 Chutengle, koiman aheng akom chuleh ainsung mi ho kom’a, “nanghon Pakai chu heovin” tia ahil khoh ngai talouding ahiuve. Ajeh chu, amitakip, aneova paat alen geia, seipeh ngai louva keima eihetsau hiding ahitai, chuleh keiman agitlounau ka ngaidama chuleh aitih ajong achonset nao ka geldoh kit tah lou ding ahiuve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.

And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah, for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says Jehovah. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

35 Sunlai salvah ding a nisa koi pa, janlai a vahdinga lha le ahshi ho koipa, chuleh twikhanlen chohling’a kinonsah jing pa, Pakai ahi. Ama chu amin Hatchungnung Pakai ahi

Thus says Jehovah, who gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea, so that the waves thereof roar. Jehovah of hosts is his name.

36 Pakai in aseiye, keiman kami Israel te kasuh gamhiel ding kati chu, leiset chunga thilsem ejakai ka suhmanghiel tabong hiding ahi, ati.

If these ordinances depart from before me, says Jehovah, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me forever.

37 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “chunga van thamjol khu iti ham, akitetoh theipoi, chule leiset kibulphu ajong koima kholdoh jou ahipoi. Hijeh chun, keiman kapaidoh louding ahiuve,” ati.

Thus says Jehovah: If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, then I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, says Jehovah.

38 Pakaiyin aseiye, “Vetan, Jerusalem khopi chu keidinga ahisah phat a chule Hananel insung’a pat khopi ninglang kelkot geija akisemphat nading nikho chu ahunglhung e,” ati.

Behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that the city shall be built to Jehovah from the tower of Hananel to the gate of the corner.

39 Hilai mun’a hi, thilte najol hung kijam ding, Gareb thinglhang lah gei aphah ding, chule Goah gei a kijam paiding;

And the measuring line shall go out further straight onward to the hill Gareb, and shall turn about to Goah.

And the whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields, to the brook Kidron, to the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy to Jehovah. It shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more forever.
