Jeremiah 44
1 Egypt sahlam gamsunga Migdol, Tahpanhes, Memphis khopi ho leh lhanglam gam’a cheng Judah miho thudol’a, Pakaiyin Jeremiah henga thu ahinseiye.
The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews which dwell in the land of Egypt, which dwell at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying,
2 “Thaneipen Pakai Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye,” Jerusalem leh Judah gamsung khopi jouse chunga manthahna kalhunsah chu, nanghon namittah uva namu-u ahitai. Tugeiyin ahomkeovin aum un, koima achengpoi.
Thus saith YHWH of hosts, the Elohim of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein,
3 Amahon thilse tintang abol uvin, keima eiphin lunghang uve. Gimnamtwi ahal uvin, amahon ahetkhahlou chule apu apateu jong anahetkhah lou, pathen chom chom anga kilhaina abol'uve.
Because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other elohim, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers.
4 Keiman avel vel in kalhachate themgao ho kasol in, ajah uva, hitobang thilse kahot tah hi bol hih un, tin kaseipeh e.
Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate.
5 Ahivangin, amahon kathusei angaipouvin, chule athilse bol’u jong adalha deh pouve. Amahon pathen chom chom houna gimnamtwi ahaljing uvin ahi.
But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other elohim.
6 Hijeh a chu, keiman kalungsatna meikou kisunglha banga Judah gamsung khopi jouse chunga, kasunlhah khum ahiuve. Tuni geiyin, hiche khopi ho chu ahomkeovin, mi chenna louvin akijam nalaiye.
Wherefore my fury and mine anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as at this day.
7 Tun thaneipen Pakai Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye. Ibol a nangho leh nangho thilse kibolkhum jeng nahiuvem? Nangho asohcha naumlou heldiu, pasal jong, numei jong, chapang jong, Judah gam’a kon’a hilaiya hung chengho jouse, nabonchauva chunga manthahna kilhut khum’a, khatbeh jong ahingdoh umlou ding nahiuve.
Therefore now this saith YHWH, the Elohim of hosts, the Elohim of Israel; Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain;
8 Ibol a nanghon Egypt pathen chom chom doilim ho nakisem thu-uva, a-anga gimnamtwi nahal uva, keima neiphin lunghang’u ham? Nangho le nangho kisumang thah a chule leiset namtin vaipi lah a nuisat leh gaosap change naum dingu ahi.
In that ye provoke me unto wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other elohim in the land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves off, and that ye might be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
9 Nanghon Jerusalem leh Judah gamsunga, napu napateu phatlouna ho, Judah lengte gitlouna ho, chule nangho leh najiteu setna ho, ibol a nasuhmil u ham?
Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
10 Tuni geiyin, nanghon lung kisih a kisemphat ding nagopouve. Nangho le napu napateu kathupehsa ho, nanghon juiding nagel pouve.
They are not humbled even unto this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.
11 Hijeh chun thaneipen Pakai Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye, keiman nangho nabonchauva kasuhgam ding nahiuve.
Therefore thus saith YHWH of hosts, the Elohim of Israel; Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah.
12 Keiman Judah mite akidalha amoh chengse, Egypt gamsunga hunglut ho, abonchauva kasuhgam heldiu ahi. Amaho chu aneopen’a pat alenpen geiya: gal a thiloi, kelthoh a thiloi, chule natna hise a thiloi umdiu, abonchauva thigam heldiu ahi. Amaho chu gaosap chang leh kidah um chule mi nuisat a umdiu, ahiuve.
And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, and fall in the land of Egypt; they shall even be consumed by the sword and by the famine: they shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.
13 Keiman Jerusalem talen kamatsah banga, Egypt gamsung’a jong amaho chunga, gal kisat, kellhah chule natna hise a, talen kamatsah ding ahiuve.
For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence:
14 Dalhah a um amoh cheng, Egypt gam’a hung juamlut ho, khatvei Judah gam’a kilekit ding ngah ho, koimacha asohcha-a kilekit umlou hel diu ahi. Amahon agam uva kilekal ngahlel ujongle, ahingdoh themchakhat bou tilou, koima cha kilekit umlou ding ahiuve,” ati.
So that none of the remnant of Judah, which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah, to the which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return but such as shall escape.
15 Hichun ajiteuvin milimdoi houna gimnamtwi hal uve, ti hesa pasal ho jouse leh, Egypt gamsunga cheng Judah mite khoppi bol mitamtah lah’a, gapang numeiho jouse chun, Jeremiah jah’a aseiyun,
Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto other elohim, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,
16 Nangman Pakai min’a nathusei ho chu, keihon ngai pouvinge, atiuve.
As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of YHWH, we will not hearken unto thee.
17 Keiho kanop nop’u bol dinga um kahitauve. Keiho le kapu kapateuvin, chule kalengteu leh avaihom teuvin Judah gamsung le Jerusalem khopi sunga anabol bang uva chu, keihon jong van lengnu houna-a gimnamtwi kahal uva chule juning kalhit khum diu ahi. Ajeh chu, hitia kabol laiya chun, keiho din neh le chah aneng jeng jungin, kaphatou lheh un, chule thilse ima jong katoh pouve.
But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.
18 Ahinlah keihon van lengnu houna gimnamtwi kahaldauva, chule juning kalhitda phat un, keihon gentheina nasatah kathoh un, gal in eikithat uvin chule kalthoh in kathigam tauve, atiuvin ahi.
But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.
19 Chule numeiho chun aseikit un, “Keihon van lengnu houna-a kahal uva chule juning kalhit khum uva, chule amanu lim’a changlhah kasem uhi, kajipateu hetlouva, amaho phalna louva kasem beh u ham? Ahipoi! atiuvin ahi.
And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?
20 Hichun Jeremiah in, numeiho leh pasal ho chule mipiho jah’a chun,
Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying,
21 “Nangho leh napu napateuvin, chule nalengteu leh gamvaipo ten, Judah gamsung le Jerusalem khopi sunga milimdoi houna gimnamtwi nahal u chu, Pakaiyin ageldoh lou mong dinga nagel u ham?
The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did not YHWH remember them, and came it not into his mind?
22 Nanghon kidah umtah thilse nabol hou chu, Pakaiyin athoh nomtah louphat a, aman nagam sungu le nakhopi hou abon’a ahomkeova ajam’a, mi acheng ding beikeiya gaosap chang ahitai,” ati.
So that YHWH could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.
23 “Thilse hichengpi nachunguva alhun hi, nanghon milim doi houna gimnamtwi nahal uva chule Pakai douna nachonset jeh u ahi. Chule nanghon ama thusei nangai dauva chule athupeh najuilou jeh uva, nachunguva thu atankhum ahitai,” ati.
Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against YHWH, and have not obeyed the voice of YHWH, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as at this day
24 Chuin Jeremiah in mipiho jouse leh numeiho jah a chun, “Egypt gamsunga cheng Judah miho nabonchauvin hiche Pakai thusei hi nagiyuvin,
Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of YHWH, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt:
25 Thaneipen Pakai Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye, Nangho leh najiteu numeihon naseiyun, keihon kakitepnau banga, van lengnu houna gimnamtwi kahaldiu chule juning kalhit khum diu ahi, natiuvin; Nasei bangun nakhut tah uvin namoldo tauve. Hijeh chun naseisa bangun cheuvin gabol tauvin,” ati.
Thus saith YHWH of hosts, the Elohim of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.
26 Amavang Judah mite Egypt gamsunga chenghon Pakai thusei hi ngaiyun. Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, keiman kamin’a huneitah a kaki hahsel ahitai. Nanghon kamin naphahtah louhel diu; Nalah uva koimachan jong kamin pan’a nakihahsel tahlou heldiu ahi, tin thaneipen hingjing Pakaiyin aseiye.
Therefore hear ye the word of YHWH, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith YHWH, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Master YHWH liveth.
27 Ajeh chu keiman nangho kavet lhih a, nachunguva thilse kalhunsah ding, apha nato louhel diu ahi. Judah mite nabonchauva nathigam hel kah uva, gal a nathi dingu chule kelthoh a nathi diu ahi.
Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them.
28 Mi themcha khat athimoh chengse chu Egypt gam’a kon’a hung jamdohuva Judah gam’a hung kile diu ahiuve. Chuteng tahle ahingdoh chengsen koi thusei dihjo ham, ti ahetchen diu ahi.
Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or theirs.
29 Chule Pakaiyin aseiye, Hichehi nangho dinga thudih melchihna-a kapeh chu ahi. Keiman nangho kagihsa banga nachunguva lhungding, chule hilaimun’a hi keiman nangho talen kamatsah ding nahiuve.
And this shall be a sign unto you, saith YHWH, that I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil:
30 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Keiman Judah lengpa Zedekiah chu akidoupi Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar khut a kapehdoh banga, Egypt lengpa Pharaoh Hophra chu, ama thatnom’a hol ho khut’a kapeh doh ding ahi,” ati.
Thus saith YHWH; Behold, I will give Pharaoh-hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life.
