Jeremiah 9
1 Kaluchang hi twikul hihen, chuleh kamit teni hi lhitwi putna twinah hileh, sun leh jan in kamite kithatsa ho din, keima kaple maovin umtange.
Who makes my head waters, And my eye a fountain of tears? And I weep by day and by night, For the wounded of the daughter of my people.
2 Ohe, kamite hi dalha-a vahmang thei hing ting, chuleh nelphai gamthip’a kholjin miho gemun’a kiselmang thei hileng, kati! Ajeh chu amaho hi mitoh jonbol leh milhem chavai jeng ahiuve.
Who gives me in a wilderness A lodging-place for travelers? And I leave my people, and go from them, For all of them [are] adulterers, An assembly of treacherous ones.
3 Kamite chu, aleiguiyu thalpi kamsalsa bangin, jouthu seiding salhemin aum’un, thutah dinpijou koima aumpouve. Alahuva setna akhang tul tul jengin, keima jeng jong eihetapouve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
“And they bend their tongue, Their bow [is] a lie, And they have not been mighty for steadfastness in the land, For they have gone forth from evil to evil, And they have not known Me,” A declaration of YHWH!
4 Hitijeh chun, naheng-nakom ho’a konin kichih theiyun, chuleh nasopi jong ginchat dauvin. Ajeh chu sopi leh sopi jong agomkom hol’a milhem jeng ahiuve. Chuleh gollepai ho jong mi seise leh gaosap’a vahkoile ngen ahiuve.
“You each beware of his friend, And do not trust any brother, For every brother utterly supplants, For every friend slanderously walks,
5 Amitakip joulenal in akilhemtouvin, koima thudih sei aumpouve. Jouthu seina leh milhep lhah aleiyu akithemchuh sah’un, chonset abol be be jingun, lungkhel ding agelpouve.
And they each mock at his friend, And they do not speak truth, They taught their tongue to speak falsehood, They have labored to commit iniquity.
6 Amahon kijoulhepna chunga kijoulhepna abol be be un, chuleh keima hetding donse louvin akoitauve, tun Pakaiyin aseiye.
Your dwelling [is] in the midst of deceit, Through deceit they refused to know Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
7 Hijeh chun Thaneipen Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, ‘Vetan, keiman amaho kapatep ding, thih meiya kigou; jolla banga kago jol ding ahiuve. Amahon aheng-akom jah’a thu angei ngei aseiyun, ahinlah alungsunguvin mi thina ding jeng ageluve.
Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Behold, I am refining them, and have tried them, For how do I deal with the daughter of My people?
8 Aleigui jouseu thina thei thalpi tobang jeng ahin, joulhepna jeng thu aseijun; abonchaovin aheng akom ah chamna asei nauvin, hinlah alunggon uvin aheng akom chan lhihna jeng ahi.
Their tongue [is] a slaughtering arrow, It has spoken deceit in its mouth, It speaks peace with its neighbor, And in its heart it lays its ambush,
9 Hicheng jeh’a hi, keiman amaho talen kamatsah da-a, chuleh hitobang nam mite chunga chu, keima tah in phukalah da ding ham? tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
Do I not see after them for these things?” A declaration of YHWH, “Does My soul not avenge itself against a nation such as this?”
10 keiman molsang ho kacham ingting, gamthip’a hamdongho din kap inge. Ajeh chu amaho agoplha soh’uvin chuleh akeovin aumgamtauve. Koiman ajotpa tapon, ganchate husa jong akijatapoi. Vachate leh gamsate jong ajammang soh heltauve.
I lift up weeping and wailing for the mountains, And a lamentation for the habitations of the wilderness, For they have been burned up without any passing over, Nor have they heard the voice of livestock, From the bird of the heavens and to the beast—they have fled, They have gone.
11 Keiman, Jerusalem hi khogem kasosah ding, chuleh ngeihonte kokhuh’a kasemding ahi. Chuleh Judah gamsung khopi ho ahomkeova kalha-a, aching ding beihel’a kakoi ding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
“And I make Jerusalem become heaps, A habitation of dragons, And I make the cities of Judah a desolation, Without inhabitant.”
12 Koiham miching, hicheho abon’a lethemsoh kei ding? Hicheho kiphonna Pakai kamsoh koikom’a lhung ham, chuleh ahilchen thei ding? Ibol’a gamsung hi segam’a chuleh ahomkeova kijam’a, koima cha chele vahle umlou hitam? Kati.
Who [is] the wise man? And he understands this, And he to whom the mouth of YHWH spoke? And he declares it, For why has the land perished? It has been burned up as a wilderness, Without any passing through.
13 Pakaiyin aseiye, “Kamiten kathupeh adalhah uva, chuleh kasei ajuilou jeh un, achunguva hichenghi soh ahitai.
And YHWH says: “Because of their forsaking My law that I set before them, And they have not listened to My voice nor walked in it,
14 Amahon, louchal tah in ama ama deicheh abolun, apu apateu bol bang bangin, Baal doilim chu chibai abohtauvin ahi.
And they walk after the stubbornness of their heart, And after the Ba‘alim, That their fathers taught them,”
15 Hiche jehchun, Pakai Van Pathen leh Israel Pathen chun aseitai: Vetan, keiman hiche mite aneh diuva namtul jung kha kapeh ding chuleh adondiuva thina gutwi kakoipeh ding ahi, ati.
Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Behold, I am causing them—this people—to eat wormwood, And I have caused them to drink water of gall,
16 Chuleh keiman amahohi, apu apateuvin jong ana jahkhah lou, namtin vaipi lah’a kathethang diu, abonchauva kasuhgamhel kahsea chemjam’a kadelkhum diu ahi,” ati.
And I have scattered them among nations Which they did not know, they and their fathers, And have sent the sword after them, Until I have consumed them.”
17 Pakai Van Pathen in hitin aseiye, “Gelun ipi soh hitam! Thi-op themho kouvun chuleh thi-opna kala sathem numeiho kousah” un,
Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Consider, and call for mourning women, And they come, And send to the wise women, And they come,
18 Gakou loiyun, lhasetah in kaploiyu hite. Mitlhi longhel hol in eikasah’uhen, atiuve.
And they hurry, and lift up a wailing for us. And tears run down our eyes, And waters flow from our eyelids.
19 Ngaiyun, Jerusalem mite ka-ogin akijai. Eiho ikijumsouva eikisumang hel’u ahitai. Igam u dalhatau hite. Ajih chu ichennau in jouse akisuse gamheltai, atiuve.
For a voice of wailing is heard from Zion: How we have been spoiled! We have been greatly ashamed, Because we have forsaken the land, Because they have cast down our dwelling places.”
20 Hijeh chun numei ho, Pakai thusei ngaiphauvin chule nanakhang sung un lutsah un; nacha nuteu chengse kadan hil un chule mijousen aheng akom’a thilhah kadan hil cheh hen.
But hear, you women, a word of YHWH, And your ear receives a word of His mouth, And teach your daughters wailing, And each her neighbor lamentation.
21 Ajeh chu thinan i-kot phung tinchang’u ahin phan chule leng inpi chengse insung ahin phatai. Kholaija chapang jouse alhamsoh in, chule vengning lah dunga khangdong chengse jong alhamsoh heltai.
For death has come up into our windows, It has come into our palaces, To cut off the suckling from outside, Young men from the broad places.
22 Pakaiyin hiti hin aseije tin, seitan. Mithi long chu loujaova eh-banga kisevum lha ding, chang atpa nunga changphal banga kise diu, achomkhom beihel hiding ahi, tin seijin, ati.
Speak thus, “A declaration of YHWH, And the carcass of man has fallen, As dung on the face of the field, And as a handful after the reaper, And there is none gathering.”
23 Pakaiyin hiti hin aseije, achingpa jong achih jal’in kiloupisah dahen; ahatpa jong ahat jal’in kiloupisah dahen, chule ahaopa jong ahao jal’in kiloupisah dahen.
Thus said YHWH: “Do not let the wise boast himself in his wisdom, Nor let the mighty boast himself in his might, Do not let the rich boast himself in his riches,
24 Hinlah ahaopa chu hiti hin kiloupisah johen, ama chun keima eihe khen theijin tin; ajeh chu lungsetna longlouva nei jing keima kahin, leiset chunga thutanna adih jeng kabol’e tihedoh hen, hiti chun keima kakipah thanomji ti he them hen.
But let the boaster boast himself in this, In understanding and knowing Me, For I [am] YHWH, doing kindness, Judgment, and righteousness, in the earth, For I have delighted in these,” A declaration of YHWH.
25 “Ven, nikho ho ahung lhung tai tin, Pakaiyin aseiye; keiman cheptan loulai chengse chunga talen kapeh ding ahi.
“Behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I have laid a charge on all circumcised in the foreskin,
26 Egypt, Judah amaho chateu le Moab ahin chule neldi gam’a cheng asam kitan kivel ho jaona ahi. Ajeh chu hiche nam mite hin chep akitan pouvin, Israel insung jeng jong alungthima cheptan lou ahi,” ati.
On Egypt, and on Judah, and on Edom, And on the sons of Ammon, and on Moab, And on all cutting the corner [of the beard], Who are dwelling in the wilderness, For all the nations [are] uncircumcised, And all the house of Israel [are] uncircumcised in heart!”
