Jeremiah 5
1 Jerusalem khopi sung lampi jousea, dunglhei vailhei unlang, veng ningkoi lah jouse gahol’un. Mihem khatbeh dihtah’a thutan leh lungtheng tah’a thudih hol, namudoh jouleh, keiman ama jal’a akhopi kangaidam ding chuleh kasuhmang luding ahi.
Go to and fro in streets of Jerusalem, And see, I pray you, and know, And seek in her broad places, if ye find a man, If there be one doing judgment, seeking stedfastness — Then am I propitious to her.
2 Amahon, Pakai chu aitih’a hingjing ahi, tia akihahsel ji vangun, jou leh nal jengin thu aseijiuvin ahi.
And if they say, 'Jehovah liveth,' Surely to a falsehood they swear.
3 Vo Pakai, nangman thutah jeng navet lhih jeng ahi. Nangin namite chunga nakhut nalhatan, ahivangin amahon nahsah in aneipouve. Nangin amaho nanoigeptan, ahivangin amahon hichu kisuhdihnan asangpouve. Amaichangu song bangin atah sah un, lungkhel ding aumpouve.
Jehovah, Thine eyes, are they not on stedfastness? Thou hast smitten them, and they have not grieved, Thou hast consumed them, They have refused to receive instruction, They made their faces harder than a rock, They have refused to turn back.
4 Hichun keiman kaseitai,’’ Amahohi vaicha leh tahlelte ima hephalou ahiuve. Amaho’a kon’a ipi apha hungpot dingham? Amahon Pakai lampi ahepouvin, chuleh Pathen danthu jong agel phapouve.
And I — I said, 'Surely these [are] poor, They have been foolish, For they have not known the way of Jehovah, The judgment of their God.
5 Hijeh chun, keima lamkai vaihomte kom’a gachengting, gaseipeh tange. Ajeh chu amaho beh chun Pakai lampi leh Pathen danthu ho henauvinte,’’ kati. Ahivangin, alamkaiteu jong abep ahiuvin, Pathen namkol aheh bongun chuleh akigahnau khao jong abotten un ahiuve.
I get me to the great, and I speak with them, For they have known the way of Jehovah, The judgment of their God.' Surely they together have broken the yoke, They have drawn away the bands.
6 Hiche jeh a chu, gammang lah’a kon hungdoh sakeiyin amaho athadiu. Chuleh nelphaiya kon hungdoh kamkei yin amaho akimatdiu ahi. Lutnun akhopi pam’a chang’un tin, khosunga kon’a potdoh tapou abotel ding ahi. Ijeh inem itileh achonsetnau atamvaltan, chuleh Pathen douna aboldoh u anasa behseh jengtai.
Therefore smitten them hath a lion out of the forest, A wolf of the deserts doth spoil them, A leopard is watching over their cities, Every one who is going out of them is torn, For many have been their transgressions, Mighty have been their backslidings.
7 Hichea hi, keiman nang iti kangaidam ding nahim? Nachate la keiya kon in ajammang sohtauvin, semthu Pathen angsung’a akihahsel jah jah jotauvin ahi. Keiman amaho kavah vaset ahiuvin; Ahivangin amahon jonthanghoi jeng abol'un chuleh notiho inkot’a akijot lut lut jenguvin ahi,’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
For this I am not propitious to thee, Thy sons have forsaken Me, And are satisfied by that which is not god, I satisfy them, and they commit adultery, And at the house of a harlot They gather themselves together.
8 Amahohi sakol kivahthau huhtah abangun, amitakip chu aheng-akompa jinu velel’a jonlungpu ngen ahiuve.
Fed horses — they have been early risers, Each to the wife of his neighbour they neigh.
9 Hiche mihohi, keiman iti talen matsah louva kalha ding ham? Chuleh hitobang nam mite chung’a hi, keiman iti phu kalahda ding ham? tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
For these do I not lay a charge? An affirmation of Jehovah, And on a nation such as this, Doth not My soul avenge itself?
10 Alengpi leilaiyuva, lengpigui ho agol gol’a kituna lah’a khun, chesuh unlang gasumangun, beihel invang hinlha hih un. Abah chengu abon'in gamallhauvin, ajeh chu amaho hi keiya kon ahipouve.
Go ye up on her walls, and destroy, And a completion make not, Turn aside her branches, for they [are] not Jehovah's,
11 Ijeh inem itileh, Israel insung leh Judah insung mite hi, keiya dinga tahsanna beihel ahiuvin chuleh eidouva pang ahitauve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
For dealt treacherously against Me have the house of Israel, And the house of Judah, an affirmation of Jehovah.
12 Amahon, Pakai aseilep un, hitin aseiyuve. Aman eiho chunga imacha bol ponte. Ichunguva genthei hesohna hunglhung pontin chuleh gal kisat leh kellhah injong eilhunden pouvinte, atiuvin ahi.
They have lied against Jehovah, And they say, '[It is] not He, Nor come in against us doth evil, Yea, sword and famine we do not see.
13 Pathen themgao hojong hi ahomkeo bep hiuvin tin, asunguva Pathen thupeh umlou ahitauve. Hijeh a chu, agaothu seidoh’u jong, achunguva chuding ahibouve.
And the prophets become wind, And the word is not in them,' — thus it is done by them.
14 Hijeh chun Pakai van Pathen in hitin aseiye, hiche mite hin hitobang a thu aseijeh’un, keiman kathupeh chengse hi, nakam sunga kon’a meikou banga kasemdoh ding, chuleh mipite chu thinggosa bangdiu, meikou chun akahvam hel diu ahi, ati.
Therefore, thus said Jehovah, God of Hosts, Because of your speaking this word, Lo, I am making My words in thy mouth become fire, And this people wood, and it hath devoured them.
15 O Israel, keiman gamlatah’a kon’a namkhat nachunguva kahinlhut khum ding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye. Hiche nam mite chu thahattah ahiuvin khanglui laiya pat’a anaumsa mite ahiuve. Aham-apao ujong najahkhahlou hel nam mite ahiuvin, ipi aseiyu jong nahetlouhel nam mite ahiuve.
Lo, I am bringing against you a nation from afar, O house of Israel, an affirmation of Jehovah, A nation — strong it [is], a nation — from of old it [is], A nation — thou knowest not its tongue, Nor understandest what it speaketh.
16 Agal manchah hou chu thina lhankot kihonna abang jengin, agalsatteu jong thahattah jeng ahiuve.
Its quiver [is] as an open sepulchre, All of them — mighty ones.
17 Amahon, nalousoh ho leh na anneh ding jouse anehgamdiu, amahon nachapateu leh nachanuteu jong abahgamdiu, amahon nakelngoi hon ho leh nagancha ho jouse anehgamdiu, amahon nalengpiga holeh natheiga ho jouse anehgamdiu, chuleh kulpi nakaikhum uva hoidohna khopia nanei jouseu jong abon’a asuhmang hel diu ahi, ati.
And it hath consumed thy harvest and thy bread, They consume thy sons, and thy daughters, It consumeth thy flock, and thy herd, It consumeth thy vine, and thy fig-tree, It maketh poor thy fenced cities, In which thou art trusting — by the sword.
18 Hijongleh hitobang nikho jenga jong chu, keima nangho kasuhgam hel loudiu nahiuve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
And even in those days, an affirmation of Jehovah, I do not make you a completion.
19 Chuleh namiten, ipi jeh’a Pakai i- Pathen u chun ichunguva hitobang hi abol ham, tia adoh teng uleh, nanghon amaho jah’a hitia naseipeh diu; Nanghon Pakai i-Pathen u chu nadondauvin nangho gamsunga gamdang pathen ho najenleuvin ahi. Hiche jeh’a chu, tua hi, nanghon nahetphah louvu migam’a, nahetlou hel u mite naga jenle diu ahi, tin seipeh in ati.
And it hath come to pass, when ye say, 'For what hath Jehovah our God done to us all these?' That thou hast said unto them, 'As ye have forsaken Me, And serve the gods of a foreigner in your land, So do ye serve strangers in a land not yours.
20 Hiche thuhi Israel ho lah’a phongjal unlang chuleh Judah te kom’a gaseiphong un.
Declare ye this in the house of Jacob, And sound ye it in Judah, saying,
21 Hiche hi ngaiyun, vo mingol lungthim beiho, mit neiya kho muthei louho chuleh bil neiya kho jathei louho.
Hear ye, I pray you, this, O people, foolish and without heart, Eyes they have, and they see not, Ears they have, and they hear not.
22 Nanghon keima neigin louvu ham? Ipi dinga ka-angsung’a tija tah’a kihot hot lou nahiuvem? Keima Pakaiyin, twikhanglen kinong tinkih nading leh aitih’a twiyin akhokhel lou nadingin, twipi pang’a neldi gamgi kakoiye. Twikhanglen twipi chu kinuh ham lah lah henlang kithong jeju jong leh, hiche gamgi hi twiyin akhokhel louding ahi.
Me do ye not fear, an affirmation of Jehovah? From My presence are ye not pained? Who hath made sand the border of the sea, A limit age-during, and it passeth not over it, They shake themselves, and they are not able, Yea, sounded have its billows, and they pass not over.
23 Ahin hiche mite hi, louchal tah leh doumah bol hattah mite chu ahiuvin, amahon kei eidalhauvin, keiya kon in achemang gamtauvin ahi.
And this people hath an apostate and rebellious heart, They have turned aside, and they go on.
24 Amahon alungthim giltah’uva kon in, Pakai i-Pathen’u gingu hite. Ajeh chu aman aphat cha-a chuh-go hihen khal-go hijongleh eipeh uva; eiho dinga aphatcha a chang-at phat eikoipeh jingpau ahi, tin aseipouve.
And they have not said in their heart, 'Let us fear, we pray you, Jehovah our God, who is giving rain, The sprinkling and the gathered, in its season, The appointed weeks of harvest He keepeth for us.'
25 Nagitlouna chengse chun phattheiboh nachan dingho adelmangin, chuleh nachonsetna chengse chun thilpha jouse apaidoh tai.
Your iniquities have turned these away, And your sins have kept the good from you.
26 Ijeh inem itileh, kamitelah’a migilouteho achengtauve. Gamleng hon sa achanlhih bangun, amahon mi matding achanglhi lhi uvin, thang akampeh un, matding agojing uve.
For the wicked have been found among My people. It looketh about the covering of snares, They have set up a trap — men they capture.
27 Vacha thang kamten, abom dimset’a vacha apoh bangun, a-in hou chu dihloutah’a achomdoh u thil adimset in ahi. Hiche jeh chun, amaho alendoh gam’un chuleh ahaodoh gamtauve.
As a cage full of fowls, So their houses are full of deceit, Therefore they have been great, and are rich.
28 Amaho athaodoh gam’un, chuleh atahsau jong ajolsel gamtauve. chuleh athilse bolhou chu angahje ahetapouve. Amahon, chagate chung a dihtah’a thutanna adalpih un, chuleh vaicha gentheite ding chanvou jong dihtah in achansah pouve.
They have been fat, they have shone, Yea, they have overpassed the acts of the evil, Judgment they have not judged, The judgment of the fatherless — and they prosper, And the judgment of the needy they have not judged.
29 Hichengse jeh’a hi, keiman amaho chu talen pelouva kaum ding ham?’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye. Chuleh hiche nam mite chunga keiman phu kalahda ding ham?’’ ati.
For these do not I inspect, an affirmation of Jehovah, On a nation such as this, Doth not My soul avenge itself?
30 Hiche gamsunga hin, thil gimneitah leh tijat umtah chu asohtai.
An astonishing and horrible thing hath been in the land.
31 Themgao hon jouthu jeng aseiyun, Thempu hon jong ama dei deiyun vai ahomtauve. Kamiten hitobang hi nadeiyun ahi. Ahivangin ijakai achaina ahunglhun tengleh, ipi naboldiu ham?’’ ati.
The prophets have prophesied falsely, And the priests bear rule by their means, And My people have loved [it] so, And what do they at its latter end?
