Jeremiah 8
1 Pakaiyin aseiye, hiche nikho chuleh melmaten lhankhuh asuhset uva, Judah lengte leh avaipoteu gulechang ho, thempu leh themgaote gulechang ho, chuleh Jerusalem’a chengte athisaho gulechang ho, lhankhuh’a kon’a kilaidoh ding ahi.
“In that time, says the Lord, they will cast out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of its leaders, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of those who were living in Jerusalem, from their graves.
2 Gulechang ho chu, amahon adeitahuva akilhen’u, anajen leu chuleh chibai aboh’u, a Pathen’u nisa leh lha chuleh ahsiho angsunga, tollhanga kithethang diu ahi. Hitia chu, gulechang ho jouse chu, kichomkhom kittalouding, chuleh avela kivuikit talou ding, tollhanga amonlha dinga kitheyal ding ahiuve.
And they will spread them out before the sun and the moon and the entire army of the heavens, which they have loved, and served, and followed, and which they have sought and adored. They will not be collected, and they will not be buried. They will be like manure upon the face of the earth.
3 Hiche nam giloute lah’a, ahingdoh amoh chengse chun, hin sanga thi adeijoh diu ahi. Kei thaneipen Pakaiyin kasei ahitai, ati.
And they will greatly prefer death to life: all those who will have been left from this wicked kindred, in all the forsaken places to which I will cast them out, says the Lord of hosts.
4 Chuin Jeremiah in mipite henga aseitai, ‘Pakaiyin aseiye, mi alhuh teng thoudoh kitji hilou ham? Mi khattou achena lampi dihlou ahin hetdoh teng, ama chu hung kinungle kitji hilou ham?
And you will say to them: Thus says the Lord: He who falls, will he not rise again? And he who has been turned away, will he not return?
5 Achutileh ipi dinga kamite hi manthahna lampia vahmang diu hitauvem? Ipijeh’a Jerusalem mite hung kile kit ding dau ham? Amahon akijou lhepnau chu atuhchah un, ahung kile kit nompouve.
Then why have this people in Jerusalem turned away with a contentious loathing? They have taken hold of what is false, and they are not willing to return.
6 Keiman akihounau kangailhi jing in, thudih aseidoh u kaja hih hel e. Alah uva khatbeh jong, aphatmona lunggimpi um uvem? Khatchan jong, ibol’a hibang lom’a phamo kahim, atipouve. Amitakip in, ama ama lunglam cheh in setna lampia, galmun jon’a lhei-jangkhai tah sakol abang gamtauve.
I paid close attention and I listened carefully. No one is speaking what is good. There is no one who does penance for his sin, saying: ‘What have I done?’ They have all turned to their own course, like a horse rushing with fury into battle.
7 Vanlaijol’a lengle vakang in kichouphat akihet in, vakhu leh pelpalep chuleh vakeng sang injong, amaho kichonphat akihetuvin, kumseh in aphatchan akile kit jiuve. Ahivangin kamiten ima nahepouve. Amahon Pakai chondan thu kapehsa jong ahe tapouve.
The hawk in the heavens has known her time. The turtledove, and the swallow, and the stork have kept the time of their arrival. But my people have not known the judgment of the Lord.
8 Itidan’a, nanghon keiho miching kahiuve, Pakai danthu keiho kom’a aume, natitheiyu ham? Nahil uva pang danthu them hon, thujou jeng ajihlut gam’u hilou ham?
How can you say: ‘We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us?’ Truly, the lying pen of the scribes has wrought falsehood.
9 Nahil’uva pang michingho kijumso gamdiu, ngolhoi tah thang’a chu ohdensoh ahitauve. Ajeh chu amahon Pakai thusei donlouvin akoitauve. Asunguva itobang chihna aneiyu hitam?
The wise men have been confounded; they were terrified and captured. For they cast aside the word of the Lord, and there is no wisdom in them.
10 Hijeh’a chu keiman ajiteu pasal dang kapeh ding, chuleh alou jouseu jong gamchom mi kapeh ding ahi. Amaho aneopen’a pat alenpen geiyin, kilosetna apumdim’un, lamdih louva sum mu ding jeng agel uve. Chuleh kalhacha themgao holeh thempuho geiyin lepthol in thil aboltauve.
Because of this, I will give their wives to outsiders and their fields to others as an inheritance. For from the least, even to the greatest, they all pursue avarice; from the prophet, even to the priest, they all act with deceit.
11 Kamite kisuhkhahna maha nasatah chu, amahon bailam tah’a damdoh din agel uve. Chamna bon umlouva, amahon cham leh lungmon aum’e, atiuvin ahi.
And they healed the destruction of the daughter of my people with disgrace, by saying: ‘Peace, peace,’ though there was no peace.
12 Hitobang thet um tahtah ho aboluva, amaho chu jahcha louvu ham? Ajahcha naisai pouve. Jum leh ja jong ahepouve. Hijeh chun, amaho chu alhulhamsa ho lah’a kijam diu ahi. Keiman amaho chu talen kamatsah’a kaphuh lhuh ding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
They have been confounded because they committed abomination. Or rather, they have not been confounded with shame, for they do not know how to blush. For this reason, they will fall among the fallen. In the time of their visitation, they will fall, says the Lord.
13 Keiman kamite kahin chopkhom ding ahi. Lengpithei phungho leh theichang phungho chu aga beisoh ding, chuleh theiga phungho jouse ana geiya goplha ding ahiuve. Keiman kamite kapehsa ijakai abon’a mangsoh hel ding ahi. Keima thaneipen Pakaiyin kasei ahitai, ati.
When gathering, I will gather them together, says the Lord. There are no grapes on the vine, and there are no figs on the fig tree. The leaves have fallen. And I have given them the things that have passed away.”
14 Chutah leh, mipiten hitia asei diu, ‘Ibol’a thi ngah’a hilaiya eiho imoh umthim diu ham? Hungun, kulpi kikhaikhum khopi ho del’u hitin, chumun’a chun gathikhom’u hite. Ijeh inem itileh, Pakai i-Pathen’u chun eiho manthahna dinga thupeh abol ahitan, chuleh idon diuva thina gutwi eikoipeh’u ahitai. Ajeh chu eiho Pakai dounan ichonse behseh tauve.
“Why are we sitting still? Assemble, and let us enter the fortified city, and let us remain silent there. For the Lord our God has brought us to silence, and he has given us the water of gall as a drink. For we have sinned against the Lord.
15 Eihon chamna ingaichauvin, ahivangin cham leh lungmon aumdehpoi. Eihon kisuhdam nading phat ingah’un, ahinlah kichat tijatna jeng bou imuve.
We expected peace, but there was nothing good. We expected a time of health, and behold, dread.”
16 Melmate sakol ho nah-khon gin, Dan gam’a kon in akijatai. A sakolteu huhpen gin chun gamsung pumpi ahot ling soh jenge. Amaho chu igamsungu leh asunga umjouse sumang dinga hungkon ahi, atiuve.
“From Dan, the snorting of his horses was heard; the entire land was shaken by the voice of the neighing of his fighters. And they arrived and devoured the land and its plenitude, the city and its inhabitants.
17 Keiman hiche namelmateu chu, gu hattah suhngoi theilou gul banga, nalahuva kahin lhalut ding ahi. Amaho chun nachuh diu chuleh nathi diu ahi. Keima thaneipen Pakaiyin kasei ahitai.
For behold, I will send among you serpents, king snakes, against which there is no charm, and they will bite you, says the Lord.
18 Ka lunggim hesoh nahi, boldam thei ding ahitapoi. Ka lungchang ana behseh jenge.
My sorrow is beyond sorrow; my heart mourns within me.
19 Kamite ka- ogin khu ngaiuvin; Gamsung pumpi akithonge. ‘Pakaiyin Jerusalem anungsun hitam? Jerusalem lengpa hoilamba hitam? Atiuve. Pakaiyin adonbut in, ‘Ipi dinga ba doilim semthu gamdang mite Pathen ho chibai naboh’uva, kei neiphin lunghang’u ham? ati.
Behold, the voice of the daughter of my people from a far away land. Is the Lord not with Zion, and is her king not within her? Then why have they provoked me to wrath by their graven images, and by their strange vanities?
20 Mipi chu hatah in akap’un, ‘Chang-at phat kichaiya, chuleh nipilai jong beita, eiho la huhdoh in ium hih laiyuve’ atiuve.
The harvest has passed by, the summer is at an end, and we have not been saved.
21 Kamite kimavona chu keima lungthim kimavona ahin, keima kaple maovin kaumin, kagimlhehtai.
Over the destruction of the daughter of my people, I am contrite and saddened; astonishment has taken hold of me.
22 Gilead gam’a aboldam nading damdoi umlou ham? Hichea chu louthem jong umlou hitam? Ahileh, ibol’a kamite maha chu kidamsah lou ham?
Is there no balm in Gilead? Or is there no physician there? Then why has the wound of the daughter of my people not been closed?”
