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 which came to Jeremiah, against all the Jews who were dwelling in the land of Egypt, —who were dwelling in Migdol and in Tahpanhes, and in Noph, and in the land 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 Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Ye yourselves, saw all the calamity which I brought in upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah, —and there they are, a desolation this day, and there is not in them an inhabitant:
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 committed, provoking me to anger, by going to burn incense, to serve other gods, whom they had not known, 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.
yet I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, betimes sending them, saying, Do not, I pray you, commit this abominable thing, which 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 neither inclined their ear, by turning from their wickedness, —so as not to burn incense to other gods.
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.
Therefore were mine indignation and mine anger poured out, and a fire was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, —and they became waste 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.
Now, therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh God of hosts God of Israel—Wherefore, are ye committing a great wickedness against your own lives, that ye should cut off from you man and woman child and suckling, out of the midst of Judah, —so that there should not be left you a remnant:
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 to anger by the works of your own hands, burning incense to other gods, in the land of Egypt, which ye have been entering to sojourn, —that ye should cut them off from you, and that ye should become a contempt 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 wicked ways of your fathers and the wicked ways of the kings of Judah, and the wicked ways of his wives, and your own wicked ways, and the wicked ways of your own wives, —which they 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 have not been crushed, unto this day; neither have they been afraid, neither have they walked in my law, and in my statutes, which 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 Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, Behold me! setting my face against you for calamity, —even 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 who did set their faces to enter the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, in the land of Egypt, shall they fall by the sword, by famine, shall they be consumed, from the least even unto the greatest, by sword and by famine, shall they die, —so shall they become a curse, and an astonishment, and a contempt 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.
and I will bring punishment upon them who are dwelling in the land of Egypt, just as I brought punishment upon Jerusalem, —by sword, by famine and by 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.
and there shall be neither escape nor survival, unto the remnant of Judah who have been entering, to sojourn there into the land of Egypt, —that they should return to the land of Judah even when they are lifting up their soul to return to dwell there, for none shall return, saving fugitives.
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 who knew that their wives were burning incense to other gods, and all the women standing by, a great convocation, —with all the people who were dwelling in the land of Egypt in Pathros, made answer unto Jeremiah, saying:
16 Nangman Pakai min’a nathusei ho chu, keihon ngai pouvinge, atiuve.
As touching the word which thou hast spoken unto us, in the name of Yahweh we are not going to 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, the whole thing that hath gone forth out of our own mouth, by burning incense to the queen of the heavens, and pouring out to her drink-offerings, just as we and our fathers, and our kings and our princes, did, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, then were we filled with bread and became prosperous, and calamity, saw we none;
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.
whereas, from the very time we ceased burning incense to the queen of the heavens and pouring out to her drink-offerings, we have lacked everything, —and by sword and by famine, have we been consumed.
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, though we are burning incense to the queen of the heavens and pouring out to her drink-offerings, is it, without our men that we have made to her sacrificial cakes as images of her and poured out to her, drink-offerings?
20 Hichun Jeremiah in, numeiho leh pasal ho chule mipiho jah’a chun,
Then spake Jeremiah unto all the people, —against the men and against the women, and against all the people who had been making any answer unto him, 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?
Was it not, the very incense which 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, was it not those very things, that Yahweh did remember, and that came up on his heart;
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 Yahweh could no longer forbear because of the wickedness of your doings, because of the abominations which ye committed, —and your land became a desolation, and an astonishment, and a contempt without 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 that ye burned incense, and that ye sinned against Yahweh and hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh, and, in his law and in his statutes and in his testimonies, did not walk, for this cause, did this calamity befall 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,
And Jeremiah said unto all the people, and unto all the women, —Hear ye the word of Yahweh, all Judah, who 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 Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, saying, Ye and your wives, have both spoken with your mouth and with your hands, have ye fulfilled saying, We will, certainly perform, our vows which we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out to her drink-offerings: the women will certainly confirm, your vows, and, certainly 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 Yahweh, all Judah, who are dwelling in the land of Egypt, —Behold me! I have sworn by my great Name, Saith Yahweh, That my Name shall no more be invoked by the mouth of any man of Judah saying—By the life of My Lord, Yahweh in all the land of Egypt.
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 me! watching over them for calamity, and not for blessing, —so shall all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt, be consumed, by sword and by 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, the fugitives of the sword, shall certainly return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah men easily counted, —that all the remnant of Judah who are entering Egypt to sojourn there, may know, whose word, 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, to you, shall be the sign, Declareth Yahweh, that I am about to bring punishment upon you in this place, —that ye may know that my words shall, certainly stand against you, for calamity:
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 Yahweh, Behold me! delivering up Pharaoh-hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, yea into the hand of them who are seeking his life, —just as I delivered Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon his enemy, and one seeking his life.
