Yahweh appeared to me in the past and said, “I have loved you, Israel, with everlasting love. So I have drawn you toward myself with covenant faithfulness.

For Yahweh says this, “Shout for joy over Jacob! Shout in gladness for the chief people of the nations! Let praise be heard. Say, 'Yahweh has rescued his people, the remnant of Israel.'

See, I am about to bring them from the northern lands. I will gather them from the farthest parts of the earth. The blind and lame will be among them; pregnant women and those who are about to give birth will be with them. A great assembly will return here.

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 will come weeping; I will lead them as they make their pleas. I will have them journey to streams of water on a straight road. They will not stumble on it, for I will be a father to Israel, and Ephraim will be my firstborn.”

“Hear the word of Yahweh, nations. Report along the coasts in the distance. You nations must say, 'The one who scattered Israel is gathering her up and keeping her as a shepherd keeps his sheep.'

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

For Yahweh has ransomed Jacob and has redeemed him from the hand that was too strong for him.

Then they will come and rejoice on the heights of Zion. Their faces will shine because of Yahweh's goodness, over the corn and the new wine, over the oil and the offspring of the flocks and herds. For their lives will become like a watered garden, and they will never again feel any more sorrow.

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 virgins will rejoice with dancing, and young and old men will be together. For I will change their mourning into celebration. I will have compassion on them and cause them to rejoice instead of sorrowing.

Yahweh says this: “A voice is heard in Ramah, wailing and bitter weeping. It is Rachel weeping for her children. She refuses to be comforted over them, for they live no longer.”

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.

“I have certainly heard Ephraim sorrowing, 'You punished me, and I have been punished like an untrained calf. Bring me back and I will be brought back, for you are Yahweh 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.

For after I turned back to you, I was sorry; after I was trained, I slapped my thigh. I was ashamed and humiliated, for I have borne the guilt of my youth.'

Is not Ephraim my precious child? Is he not my dear, delightful son? For whenever I speak against him, I certainly still call him to my loving mind. In this way my heart longs for him. I will certainly have compassion on him—this is Yahweh's declaration.”

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.

Place road signs for yourself. Set up guideposts for yourself. Set your mind on the right path, the way you should take. Come back, virgin Israel! Come back to these cities of yours.

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 you waver, faithless daughter? For Yahweh has created something new on earth—a woman surrounds a strong man.

Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, says this, “When I bring back the people to their land, they will say this in the land of Judah and its cities, 'May Yahweh bless you, you righteous place where he lives, you holy mountain.'

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.

For Judah and all its cities will live together there, as will farmers and those who set out with flocks.

In the past, I kept them under surveillance in order to uproot them and to tear them down, to overthrow, destroy, and bring them harm. But in the coming days, I will watch over them, in order to build them up and to plant them—this is Yahweh's declaration.

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 no one will say any longer, 'Fathers have eaten sour grapes, but the children's teeth are dulled.'

For each man will die in his own iniquity; everyone who eats sour grapes, his teeth will be dulled.

It will not be like the covenant that I established with their fathers in the days when I took them by their hand to bring them out from the land of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, although I was a husband for them. —this is Yahweh's declaration.

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.

This is the covenant that I will establish with the house of Israel after these days —this is Yahweh's declaration. I will place my law within them and will write it on their heart, for I will be their God, and they will be my people.

Then each man will no longer teach his neighbor, or a man teach his brother and say, 'Know Yahweh!' For all of them will know me, from the smallest of them to the greatest —this is Yahweh's declaration— for I will forgive their iniquity and will no longer call their sins to mind.”

The whole valley of the dead bodies and the ashes, and all the terraced fields going out to the Kidron Valley as far as the corner of the Horse Gate on the east, will be set apart for Yahweh. The city will not be pulled up or overthrown again, forever.”
