1 Judah gam’a, Josiah chapa Jehoiakim lengvaipoh kal kumli lhin in, Jeremiah themgaopan Neria chapa Baruch kom’a thu aseipih in, Baruch in athusei jouse chu lekhabua ajihlut in. Aman hitin aseiye.

The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch, the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book, from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, saying:

2 Baruch ngaiyin, Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye.

“Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to you, Baruch:

3 Nangin, kathoh gim valtai; Kathoh natnahi keidin avaltai. Ahinla Pakaiyin eipehbe nalaiye. Keima athipai ding kahitai chule kicholdo phat kaneitapoi.

You have said: ‘Woe to me, a wretched man! For the Lord has added sorrow to my sorrow. I have labored in my groaning, and I have not found rest.’

4 Vo Baruch, Pakaiyin hitin aseiye. Keiman kasah dohsa hiche nam mite hi kaphet lhah ding, chule kaphusa chu kabodoh ding ahi.

Thus says the Lord: So shall you say to him: Behold, those whom I have built up, I destroy, and those whom I have planted, I uproot, even this entire land.

5 Nang le nang kikhoh sah’a, chan-loupi bou naki hol ham? Hiti chun boldan, keiman mijouse chunga hamsetna kalhun sah ding ahibouve. Amavang, keiman nachena lam lam’a, nahinkho kahoipih ding nahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye, ati.

And are you seeking great things for yourself? Do not choose to seek them. For behold, I will lead evil over all that is flesh, says the Lord. But I will give your life to you unto salvation, in every place, wherever you may travel.”
