Jeremiah 42

1 Hichun gal lamkai jouse, Kareah chapa Johanan leh Hoshaiah chapa Jezariah jaonan, chule mipite jouse aneopen’a pat alenpen geiyin, Jeremiah kom ahin naiyun.

Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest, came near,

2 Amahon Jeremiahthemgaopa jah’a “Keiho ding in Pakai na-Pathen kom’a nei taopeh un. Nang in namu hi ahi, simkham lou keiho cheng, lhomcha bouhi dalhah’a um kahitauve. Keiho hi masang’a toh tekah thei kahitapouve.

and said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we pray thee, our supplication be presented before thee, and pray for us unto Jehovah thy God, even for all this remnant (for we are left but a few of many, as thine eyes do behold us),

3 Keiho neitaopeh un, ajeh chu, Pakai na-Pathen chun kachena diu leh kaboldiu, eihiltei ding’u ahi,” atiuve.

that Jehovah thy God may show us the way wherein we should walk, and the thing that we should do.

4 Jeremiah in adonbut in, “Aphai, nanghon nangeh bang un, Pakai na-Pathen u heng’a keima taoving’e. Chule Pakaiyin nangho ding’a ahinsei chanchu, imlou hel’a kaseipeh ding nahiuve,” ati.

Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray unto Jehovah your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass that whatsoever thing Jehovah shall answer you, I will declare it unto you; I will keep nothing back from you.

5 Hichun amahon Jeremiah jah’a, “Keiho ding’a Pakai na-Pathen in nangkom’a ahinsei bang bang’a katoh louva ahile, Pakai chu kitah tah in kachung uva sakhin pang jeng hen.

Then they said to Jeremiah, Jehovah be a true and faithful witness amongst us, if we do not according to all the word wherewith Jehovah thy God shall send thee to us.

6 Apha hihen aphalou hijongle, keihon Pakai i-Pathen u thusei chu kangai diu ahi. Ajeh chu keihon nangma Pathen heng’a taoding’a kasol’u nahi. Chule keihon ama thu kangaiyu leh keiho ding’a imajouse apha hiding ahi,” atiuve.

Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of Jehovah our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of Jehovah our God.

7 Nisom jouvin, Pakaiyin Jeremiah heng’a thu ahinsei yin,

And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah.

8 Hichun Jeremiah in Kareah chapa Johanan leh adang galbol lamkai ho jouse, chule mipi ho jouse chu, aneopen’a pat alenpen geiyin, abonchauvin akoukhom soh keiyin,

Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,

9 Amaho jah’a nanghon Pakai Israel Pathen heng’a na ngaichat u thum ding’a neisol’u ahin, Ama chun hitin aseiye.

and said unto them, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him:

10 Nangho hiche gamsung’a hin chengden uvin. Nangho lungdetteh a nachen den ule, keiman nangho kaphu detdiu, kabodoh louhel ding nahiuve. Ajeh chu keiman nachung uva thilse kabolsa chengse chu phamo kasan, kalung kakheltai, ati.

If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you.

11 “Nanghon Babylon lengpa chu kicha hih un, Ajeh chu keiman nangho ka umpiuva, ama thahat a kon’a kahuhdoh ding nahiuve,” tin Pakaiyin aseiye.

Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith Jehovah: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.

12 Keiman nangho ka khoto jal uva chu, amatah in nangho nahepi thei nading uva, hepina lungthim kapeh ding, chutengle aman nangho nagam sung uva nachensah diu ahi.

And I will grant you mercy, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land.

13 Amavang, nanghon Pakai na-Pathen’u thusei hi nangaidauva, keiho hiche gamsung’a chengpou ving’e natiuva;

But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land; so that ye obey not the voice of Jehovah your God,

14 Keiho Egypt gam’a cheuving ting, gal kisat umlouna chule gilkel thoh louna, chu kom’a gacheng tauving’e, natiuleh,

saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell:

15 Pakai thusei hi phaten ngaiyun, “Nangho Judah mite dalhah’a um amoh chengse, Thaneipen Pakai, Israel Pathen chun hitin aseiye.” “Nangho nacheuva Egypt gam’a chu, nanghon nagin gin’u gal kisat

now therefore hear ye the word of Jehovah, O remnant of Judah: Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, If ye indeed set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there;

16 Chuche gam’a chu, nanghon nagin gin’u gal kisat chun nahin phahdiu, chule nakichat pen’u kellha chun nanung’u ahin juipeh ding ahi. Chutengle nangho hiche gam’a chu nathiden ding’u ahi.

then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye fear, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, whereof ye are afraid, shall follow hard after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die.

17 Koi hijongle, Egypt gam’a chea chengden ding’a kigo ho jouse chung’a, hiche hamsetna chu chuding ahi. Nangho gal’a nathidiu, kelthoh a nathidiu chule natna hsea nathigam diu ahi. Chuteng keiman kalhunsah hiche hamsetna-a kon’a ajamdoh koimacha umlou helding ahi,” ati.

So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there: they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.

18 Thaneipen Pakai Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye, “Jerusalem mite chung’a kalungsatna hoise kabuh lhah khum bang’a, Egypt gam’a gachenglut nangho jouse chung’a jong kabuhlhah khum ding ahi. Chuteng, nangho thet umtah, tijat umtah, gaosap chengle miho nuisat nahidiu ahi. Chule nanghon a itih’a nagam sung’u namukit lou diu ahi.

For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: As mine anger and my wrath hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall my wrath be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt; and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more.

19 Ngaiyuvin, Vo Judah mite dalhah a umho! Pakaiyin aseiye. Nangho Egypt gam’a che hih uvin. Tunia nangho kahilchah nau thupeh hi suhmil ding gohih beh un.

Jehovah hath spoken concerning you, O remnant of Judah, Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have testified unto you this day.

20 Ajeh chu, nanghon Pakai na-Pathen u kom’a nangaichat u thum’a keima neisol’u chun, ipi hijongle Pakaiyin asei jouse chu keihon bol jeng’u ving’e, natiuvin. Ahivang in nalung theng pouve.

For ye have dealt deceitfully against your own souls; for ye sent me unto Jehovah your God, saying, Pray for us unto Jehovah our God; and according unto all that Jehovah our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it.

21 Hichun, imchep beihel in Pakai thusei jouse nangho kaseipeh tauve. Ahivang in, nanghon Pakai na-Pathen’u thupeh hochu, khatcha nangai pouve.

And I have this day declared it to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah your God in anything for which he hath sent me unto you.

22 Hijeh chun, keiman nangho kicheh tah’a kaseipeh nahiuve. Nangho Egypt gamsung’a chu, chemjam’a nathidiu, kelthoh’a nathidiu, chule natna hisea nathi gamdiu ahi,” ati.

Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go to sojourn there.
