Whether it is good, or whether it is bad, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the LORD our God.”

and said to them, “The LORD, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your supplication before him, says:

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 you will still live in this land, then I will build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I grieve over the distress that I have brought on 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.

Don’t be afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid. Don’t be afraid of him,’ says the LORD, ‘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.

I will grant you mercy, that he may have mercy on 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 you say, “We will not dwell in this land,” so that you don’t obey the LORD your God’s voice,

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 will see no war, nor hear the sound of the shofar, nor have hunger of bread; and there we will 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 the LORD’s word, O remnant of Judah! The LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says, ‘If you indeed set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to live 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 will happen that the sword, which you fear, will overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, about which you are afraid, will follow close behind you there in Egypt; and you will die there.

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 will it be with all the men who set their faces to go into Egypt to live there. They will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. None of them will remain or escape from the evil that I will bring on 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 the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘As my anger and my wrath has been poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so my wrath will be poured out on you, when you enter into Egypt; and you will be an object of horror, an astonishment, a curse, and a reproach; and you will 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.

“The LORD has spoken concerning you, remnant of Judah, ‘Don’t go into Egypt!’ Know certainly that I have testified to you today.

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 you have dealt deceitfully against your own souls; for you sent me to the LORD your God, saying, ‘Pray for us to the LORD our God; and according to all that the LORD our God says, so declare to 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.

I have declared it to you today; but you have not obeyed the LORD your God’s voice in anything for which he has sent me to 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 you will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence in the place where you desire to go to live.”
