Jeremiah 32
1 Judah lengpa Zedekiah lengchan kal, kum som le get lhin kum chule Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar lengchan kal, kum 18 lhin kum chun, Pakai thusei Jeremiah heng ahung lhung in hitin aseiye.
The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah, the king of Judah. The same is the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
2 Hichepet chun, Babylon lengpa sepai ten, Jerusalem khopi atoupha pet’u ahin, Jeremiah themgao pachu Judah leng inpi sung’a ahenpet u ahi.
It was then that the army of the king of Babylon besieged Jerusalem. And Jeremiah, the prophet, was confined to the atrium of the prison, which was in the house of the king of Judah.
3 Zedekiah lengpan, Jeremiah themgao chu, songkul'a ahen’a, thudoh aneichu; Ibol’a nang in gaothu nasei le’a, hitobang gaothu hi naseiham? Pakaiyin aseiye, Hichi khopi hi keiman Babylon lengpa khut a kapehdoh ahitai, aman ahinlah jeng ding ahi.
For Zedekiah, the king of Judah, had confined him, saying: “Why do you make predictions, saying: ‘Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it?
4 Zedekiah lengpa chu jamdoh louding, Babylon lengpa khut a luttei ding ahi. Chuleh aman Babylon lengpa akimaitopi tei ding ahi.
And Zedekiah, the king of Judah, will not escape from the hand of the Chaldeans. Instead, he will be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon. And he will speak to him, mouth to mouth, and he will see him, eye to eye.
5 Babylon lengpan, Zedekiah lengpa chu, Babylon gam’a akailut ding, chukom’a chu ama umding, keiman ama kagavil kahsea umding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye. Hijeh chun, nanghon Babylon douna gal bol jongleu chun, najolou diu ahi, ati.
And he will lead Zedekiah to Babylon. And he will be there until I visit him, says the Lord. So then, if you contend against the Chaldeans, you will have no success.’”
6 Chuin Pakaiyin hitin aseiye,
And Jeremiah said: “The word of the Lord came to me, saying:
7 Na pangah pa Shallem chapa, Hanamel chu nakom’a hung ding, ‘Anathoth mun’a um kalou khu, midang kapehdoh masang a, nangman kichoh tan kahung ti ahi. Ajeh chu, dan dungjui a alhat nading thaneina chu nang’a um ahi, nang in kichoh tan, ahung ti ding ahi.
Behold, Hanamel, the son of Shallum, your cousin, will come to you, saying: ‘Buy for yourself my field, which is in Anathoth. For it is your right, as next of kin, to buy it.’
8 Pakaiyin kaheng’a asei bang chun, ka pangah pa chapa Hanamel chu, kaheng’a ahung in, kakihenna songkul’a chun, hitin aseiye: “Benjamin gamsung’a Anathoth mun’a um kalou munkhu kichohtan, dan dungjuija, akilhat ding thaneina nanei ahi. Hijeh chun, midang khut a kapeh masang in, nang momg mong in kichoh tan, ahung ti. Hichun, Pakaiyin kaheng’a thu asei chu kahin hedohtai.
And in accord with the word of the Lord, Hanamel, the son of my uncle, came to me, to the entrance of the prison, and he said to me: ‘Take possession of my field, which is in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin. For the right of inheritance is yours, and as the next of kin you may possess it.’ Then I understood that this was the word of the Lord.
9 Hichun, keiman Hanamel loumun chu kachotai. Louman chu dangka Shekel somle sagi ahi.
And I bought the field, which is in Anathoth, from Hanamel, the son of my uncle. And I weighed out the money to him, seven small coins and ten pieces of silver.
10 Hichun, kichohna lekha chu, keiman kikhut henna kabol in, melchihna kanam khumin, ahetoh ho umpet in, sumchu atena-ah katepeh in, kapetai.
And I wrote it in a book and signed it, and I summoned witnesses. And I weighed out the silver on a scale.
11 Chuin Mohor kinam khum, lou-kichohna lekha, akichohdan aning-akah kijih na lekha jong chu kalan,
And I received the signed deed of possession, and the stipulations, and the ratifications, with the exterior seals.
12 Hiche lekha teni chu, keiman Nerieh chapa Baruch, Masheiah tupa chu kapetai. Hichehi, Hanamel angsung leh ahetoh sakhi bolho angsung ah chuleh chukom a um Judah angsung tah’a, keiman kapedoh ahi.
And I gave the deed of possession to Baruch, the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the sight of Hanamel, the son of my uncle, in the sight of the witnesses who had been recorded in the book of the purchase, and in the sight of all the Jews who were sitting in the atrium of the prison.
13 Hichun keiman miho angsung achun, Baruch chu hitin thu kaseipeh in,
And I instructed Baruch, in their sight, saying:
14 Hatchungnung Pakai, Israel Pathen in, hitin aseiye: Hiche lou-kichohna lekha teni hi, kumsotpi umthei nadingin, leibel sung khat’a koitup in ati, katipeh in ahi.
Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Take these writings, this sealed deed of purchase, and this deed which is open, and place them in an earthen vessel, so that they will be preserved for many days.’
15 Ijeh inem itileh, Hatchungnung Pakai, Israel Pathen in aseiye: Nikhat teng, mihon hiche gamhi ahinlo kitdiu, in holeh loumun ho, chuleh lengpilei ho, ahin kichoh diu ahi, ati.
For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Houses, and fields, and vineyards will be possessed still, in this land.’
16 Chuin, lou-kichohna lekha hochu Nerieh chapa Baruch khut’a kapehdoh phat in, keima Pakai heng’a katao in hitin kati:
And after I had delivered the deed of possession to Baruch, the son of Neri, I prayed to the Lord, saying:
17 Vo, Hatchungnung Pakai! Nangman vamthamjol le leiset hi, naban thahat namanchah’a nasemdoh ahin, nang ding in imacha ahahsa aumpoi.
Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God! Behold, you have made heaven and earth, by your great strength and by your outstretched arm. No word is difficult for you.
18 Nangman, nalungsetna longlou chu, mihem asang sang ho namusah jin; chuleh langkhat a nangman mipate chonset na gachu achate khang a nalethuh jin ahi. Nangma loupitah, thaneitah chule Hatchungnung Pakai Pathen nahi.
You act with mercy a thousand-fold, but you repay the iniquity of the fathers into the sinews of their sons after them. The Lord of hosts is your name: most strong, great, and powerful!
19 Chihna jouse hungkon doh na nahin, thil nasatah tah leh bolmo kidangho nabol’e. chuleh nangman mihemte chon-lamlhah abon'in navelhi jingin, Atoh dungjuija achan diuva lomin na lethuh jin ahi.
You are great in counsel and incomprehensible in thought. Your eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of Adam, so that you may repay each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his intentions.
20 Nangman Egypt gamsung’a thil kidang tampi na nabol in, hiche hochu tuni geiyin mihon ageldoh jing uve. Hitobang bolmo kidang ho chu, Israel lah a chule namtin vaipi lah’a jong nabol jing in, nangman naming nakthansah tai, tuni geiyin.
You caused signs and portents in the land of Egypt, and in Israel, and among men, even until this day. And you have made a name for yourself, just as in this day.
21 Nangman, Egypt gamsung’a bolmo kidang tampi nabol in, nakhut tah in naban thahat mangchan, chuleh miho ding’a tijat umtah in name Israelte, Egypt akon in nahin puidoh e.
And you have led your people Israel away from the land of Egypt, with signs and portents, and with a robust hand and an outstretched arm, and with great terror.
22 Nangman amaho chu, apu apateu natepih bang chun, hiche gam leiset, khoiju le Bongnoi lonna gamhi, namite napetai.
And you have given them this land, which you swore, to their fathers, that you would give to them, a land flowing with milk and honey.
23 Chuin kapu kapateu vin, hiche gamhi alouvin aching tauve. Ahinla amahon nasei angaipouvin, nahil bang in achonpouve. Hijeh’a chu nangman amaho chung’a hiche manthahna hi nalhunsah ahitai.
And they entered it and possessed it. But they did not obey your voice, and they did not walk in your law. And they did not do all of the things that you commanded them to do. And so, all of these evils have happened to them.
24 Vetan, khopi lonvuh ding in galmiten, kulpi bang kimvel’a pansatna sangtah tah ahintol lut uvin, ahindel khum tauve. Tua hiche khopi hi, gal leh kel jeh’a, natna hise hojeh’a chuleh tijatna jeh’a, Babylon te khut’a lutdingah ati. Ijakai hi, nangman naseisa bang in alhungsoh tai.
Behold, fortifications were built against the city, so as to capture it. And the city was given into the hands of the Chaldeans, who fight against it, before the face of the sword, and of famine, and of pestilence. And what you have spoken has occurred, just as you yourself discern.
25 Hijongleh, Vo Hatchungnung Pakai, hiche khopi hi Babylon te khut’a lutding koncha ahivang in, nangman keijeh a “Sakhi ding mikihol inlang, loumun hi nangman kichoh in, tia einasol chu, nangma nahi, kati,” ati.
So why, O Lord God, are you saying to me: ‘Buy a field with money, and summon witnesses,’ while the city is being given into the hands of the Chaldeans?”
26 Chujouvin, Jeremiah henga Pakaiyin hitin aseiye,
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
27 Vetan, keima hi Pakai, leiset chunga cheng mihing jouse Pathen chu kahi. Keidinga ipi ahahsa um'em?
“Behold, I am the Lord God; I am above all flesh. Can any word be difficult for me?
28 Hichun Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Keiman hiche khopihi, Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar khut’a kapeh ding, chule aman ahin lahding ahitai.
Therefore, thus says the Lord: Behold, I will deliver this city into the hands of the Chaldeans, and into the hands of the king of Babylon, and they will capture it.
29 Khopi polam’a pansa Babylon techu, asunga hunglut uva, khopi hi meiya ahalvam diu ahi. Chule keima phinna-a baal dinga gim namtwi kihal naleh doilim semthu ho chibai kibohna in jouse, abon’a kihalvam ding ahi.
And the Chaldeans fighting against this city will advance, and set fire to it, and burn it, along with the houses on whose roofs they were offering sacrifice to Baal and were pouring out libations to strange gods, so that they provoked me to wrath.
30 Ajeh chu, Israel leh Juda miten, aneolaiyuva pat in, thilse jeng abol uvin, keima eiphindoh tauve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
For the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah, from their youth, have continually done evil in my eyes. The sons of Israel, even until now, have been provoking me with the work of their hands, says the Lord.
31 Hiche khopi kisahdoh til’a pat tuni geiyin, amahon apha abol pouve. Kalunghanna leh kamah ngenbou aboluvin, hijeh’a chu, hiche khopi hi, keiman kamitmu’a kon’a katolmang ding ahi.
For this city has been a cause of fury and indignation to me, from the day when they built it, until this day, in which it will be taken away from my sight,
32 Israel leh Judah chonsetna, Jerusalem mite, lengpa leh achapateu, thempu holeh themgao ho, achonsetnau chun, keima eiphin doh’a chle eilunghansah ahitai.
because of all the wickedness of the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah, which they have done, provoking me to wrath, they and their kings, their leaders and their priests and their prophets, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
33 Hiche mitehin einungsun’uvin, keima heng lam’ah hung kihei dingjong ago pouve. Keiman amaho kahil hil vang'in, amahon ngai nahsah in aneipouvin, kathuhil hojong kilahlut ding agel pouve.
And they have turned their backs to me, and not their faces. And though I taught them and instructed them, rising at first light, they were not willing to listen, so that they would receive discipline.
34 Amahon, keima insung tah’a jong, thet umtah doilim ho atungdoh uvin, nasatah in asuboh taove.
And they have placed their idols in the house where my name is invoked, so that they defiled it.
35 Amahon, Ben Hinnom phaicham’a chun, doilim houna, Baal maicham tampi asemdoh un, achapateu leh achanu teuchu Molech heng’a, kilhaina thilto in atohdoh uvin ahi. Hitobang chonset gitlou nahi, keiman kalunggil’a kavop khahlou chule blding thupeh’a jong kanei khahlou hel ahi; Hiche hin Juda chu chonsetna’a alhahlut sah ahitai, ati.
And they have built the exalted places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, so that they may initiate their sons and their daughters into Molech, though I did not command, nor did it enter into my heart, that they should do this abomination, and so lead Judah into sin.
36 Tun, nanghon hiche khopi hi, gal jeh, keljeh, chuleh natna hise jeh’a, Babylon lengpa khut’a kipedoh ahi. Atiuve. Ahin, keima, Pakai, Israel Pathen in kasei hi ipi ham, ngai uvin, ati.
And now, because of these things, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to this city, about which you say that it will be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence:
37 Vetan, kalunghan behseh jeh’a, kathethang na gam ho’a kon’a keiman ama hohi, kahin lepui kit diu ahi. Keiman amaho chu hiche khopi ahi, kahin lepuilut kit’a, amaho lungmong’a kachensah ding ahiu’ve.
Behold, I will gather them together from all the lands to which I have cast them out in my fury, and in my wrath, and in my great indignation. And I will lead them back to this place, and I will cause them to live in confidence.
38 Chuti’a chu, amaho kamite hiuva, chule keima amaho Pathen kahi ding ahi.
And they will be my people, and I will be their God.
39 Amaho chu, keiman lungthim khatseh leh lampi khatseh bou, keima eijabol theina diuva chule amaholeh ason apah’u phatchom nading’a, kapeh ahitai.
And I will give to them one heart and one way, so that they may fear me all their days, and so that it may be well with them, and with their sons after them.
40 Chuleh keiman tonsot geiya ding’a, amahotoh kitepna khat kasem ding, keiman amaho ding’a thilpha kabol kangahlou hel ding ahi. Chuleh amaho jong kei’a kon’a avel’a kahei manglou nadiuva, alungsung uva keima ginna lungchang kahoipeh ding ahiuve.
And I will form an everlasting covenant with them, and I will not cease to do good for them. And I will put my fear into their heart, so that they do not withdraw from me.
41 Chuleh amaho ding thilpha kabolpeh’a kon’a, keima kakipa jing ding, kalungthim pumpi’a kitah tah’a amaho ding’a thilpha tampi kabolpeh’a, hiche gamsung hi avel’a thingphung kiphut bang’a kahulut kit ding ahiuve, ati.
And I will rejoice over them, while I do good for them. And I will plant them in this land, in truth, with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
42 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Keiman hiche mite chung’a hamsetna tampi kalhut khumden bang’a chu, keiman amaho chung’a thilpha tampi katepeh bang’a kabolpeh kit ding ahi.
For thus says the Lord: Just as I have led over this people all this great evil, so will I lead over them all the good that I am speaking to them now.
43 Nangbon, ‘Hiche gamsunghi, Babylonte khut’a kapeh doh’a, mihem holeh sahem hojong abon’a mangthei soh’a, chuleh gamsunghi ahomkeu’a kimohjam’a hitam? Tia naseyu hiche gamsung’a loumun hojouse chu kichodo kit ding ahiuve.
And fields will be possessed in this land, about which you say that it is desolate because there remains neither man nor beast, and because it has been given into the hands of the Chaldeans.
44 Benjamin gamsung’a Jerusalem khopi leh akimvel’a, Judah khopi jouse’a, chule thinglhang gamsung jouse’a chule Negev gamsung’a kon’a, loumun ho jouse avel’a kichodoh kit ding, hiche kichohna lekha kijih’a chu, ahetoh miho jaona’a, kikhut henna leh Mohor kinamdetna umcheh ding ahi. Ajeh chu, keiman amaho chung’a hamphatna tincheng kapeh ding ahitai, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
Fields will be bought for money, and deeds will be written and signed, and witnesses will be summoned, in the land of Benjamin and all around Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, and in the cities on the mountains, and in the cities on the plains, and in the cities that are toward the south. For I will convert their captivity, says the Lord.”
