Jeremiah 6
1 “Flee for safety, you children of Benjamin, out of the middle of Jerusalem! Blow the trumpet in Tekoa and raise up a signal on Beth Haccherem, for evil looks out from the north with a great destruction.
Vo Benjamin chate, nahindohna diuvin jamun, Jerusalema kon in jamdoh’un! Tekoa mun’a sumkon mutuvin lang, Beth-hakkerem mun’a melchihna ponlap khaidoh un. Ajeh chu sahlam gam’a konin melma thahhattah ahungin, ama chu manthahna nasatah toh ahung kitollut e.
2 I will cut off the beautiful and delicate one, the daughter of Zion.
Vo Jerusalem, kachanu melhoitah nahi. Hijongleh keiman nang kasuhmang ding nahi.
3 Shepherds with their flocks will come to her. They will pitch their tents against her all around. They will feed everyone in his place.”
Kelngoi chinghon khopi pam kim’a ponbuh akison bangun, nagalmiten khopi kimvela pansauva nachenkhum diu ahi. Amahon ama deina cheh mun’a panmun akisemdiu ahi.
4 “Prepare war against her! Arise! Let’s go up at noon. Woe to us! For the day declines, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
Amahon asam’un,”galsat din kigongun, sunkim tahleh idelkhum diu ahi.” Atiuve. Ahinlah, ahipoi ageibehseh tai, nisa lhumkon ahin, kho thimding ahitai.
5 Arise! Let’s go up by night, and let’s destroy her palaces.”
Jan tengleh delkhumjo taute. Chuteng leng inpi jouse isuh chimdiu ahi,” atiuve.
6 For the LORD of Armies said, “Cut down trees, and cast up a mound against Jerusalem. This is the city to be visited. She is filled with oppression within herself.
Ajeh chu Pakai van Pathen in hitin aseiye: Thingphung ho chu phuhlhuvin lang, galdouna pal sem un. Jerusalem kulpi douna gal-pal sep sanguvin. Hiche khopi hi agilou behseh tauve, talen kamatsah ding ahi,” ati.
7 As a well produces its waters, so she produces her wickedness. Violence and destruction is heard in her. Sickness and wounds are continually before me.
Ama nun twisamphunga twi hung putdoh bangin, gitlouna ho athethang jenge. Akhopi sung jouse jong pumhat leh manthahna adimin. Amanu kimavo naleh athohna ho keiman kamu jing e.
8 Be instructed, Jerusalem, lest my soul be alienated from you, lest I make you a desolation, an uninhabited land.”
Vo Jerusalem, ka gihsalna hi ngaiyin! Achutilouleh keiman nangma ahomkeuva kadalhah ding nahi. Phaten ngaijin, keiman nangma kho-gemsa kasosah’a chuleh mihem koima chennalou gam kasosah ding nahi,” ati.
9 The LORD of Armies says, “They will thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel like a vine. Turn again your hand as a grape gatherer into the baskets.”
Pakai Van Pathen in hitin aseiye, Lengpiga atkhompan ahaimila anuseho, avela aphung tilchen’a ahung lokhom soh kit banga, Israelte amoh chengse jong chu avela kichomdoh soh kitdiu ahi, ati.
10 To whom should I speak and testify, that they may hear? Behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot listen. Behold, the LORD’s word has become a reproach to them. They have no delight in it.
Keiman koi kom’a gihsalna thu kaseiya, Chuleh koiham kathusei ngaiding? Abil u abonin akisingtan, amahon kho ajatapouve. Amahon Pakai thusei adouvun, chuleh Pakai thu ajuipouve.
11 Therefore I am full of the LORD’s wrath. I am weary with holding it in. “Pour it out on the children in the street, and on the assembly of young men together; for even the husband with the wife will be taken, the aged with him who is full of days.
Hitijeh chun Pakai lunghanna chu kasunga tun adimtai. Hiche kakhol khol hi kacholtai. “ka lunghanna hi keiman khopi sunga kichem chapangho chunga, khangdong kikhom ho chunga, ajipa leh ajinu chunga, chuleh upa ho leh tehseho chunga kasun lhah ding ahi.
12 Their houses will be turned to others, their fields and their wives together; for I will stretch out my hand on the inhabitants of the land, says the LORD.”
A-in hou, alou hou chuleh ajinuteu jouse, abon’a melmate khut’a kapih doh ding ahi. Ajeh chu keiman hiche mite chunga hi kakhuttum kalha ding ahi,” tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
13 “For from their least even to their greatest, everyone is given to covetousness. From the prophet even to the priest, everyone deals falsely.
Ajeh chu aneopen’a pat alenpen geiyin, amitakip in lamdih louva phatchomna aholtauve. Themgaoho leh thempuho geiyin jou le nal in thil aboltauvin ahi.
14 They have healed also the hurt of my people superficially, saying, ‘Peace, peace!’ when there is no peace.
Amahon kamite chunga maha ho chu imalou tah in ajenpih un. Amahon chamna bon umlouva, ima aboi aumpoi, aphasoh keiye, atiuve.
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush. Therefore they will fall among those who fall. When I visit them, they will be cast down,” says the LORD.
Amahon kidah um tahtah ho aboldoh tenguleh, jachatna aneilouvu ham? Ajahcha naisaipouve, jum leja helouhel mite ahiuve. Amaho hi alhusa hotoh kijamtha diu ahi. Keiman amaho talen kamatsah tengleh, abonuva kichaihel diu ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
16 The LORD says, “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, ‘Where is the good way?’ and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Lamsom dunga dinguvin lang nakimvelu veuvin. Lamlui apha, Pathen lampi chu hol uvin, hichea chun cheuvin. Hiche lampi chu juiyun, Chutileh nalungthim kicholding ahi. Ahivangin nanghon hiche lampi chu juipou vinge, natiuve.
17 I set watchmen over you, saying, ‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’ But they said, ‘We will not listen!’
Keiman nachunguva nangahtup diu kakoiyin: Aman najahuva, sumkon gin phaten ngaiyun’ ati. Ahivangin nanghon, ngainahsah in nakoipouve’ ati.
18 Therefore hear, you nations, and know, congregation, what is among them.
Hijeh chun, namtin vaipin hichehi ngaiyun, kamite chunga thil hunglhung ding khu hecheh un.
19 Hear, earth! Behold, I will bring evil on this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not listened to my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it.
Leiset pumpin ngaiuvin! Keiman hiche mite chunga manthahna kahinlhut ding ahi. Hiche amaho agitlounau tohga hiding ahi. Ajeh chu amahon kathusei angaipouvin chuleh kathupeh adonpouve.
20 To what purpose does frankincense from Sheba come to me, and the sweet cane from a far country? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, and your sacrifices are not pleasing to me.”
Sheba gam’a kon chuleh gamla tah tah’a kon’a gimnamtwi tah tah maicham’a nahin lhut u chu, ipia pang ding ham? Pumgo thilto nabolu jong kasan lou ding chuleh kilhaina nabol jouseu jong kalunglhaina ahipoi.
21 Therefore the LORD says, “Behold, I will lay stumbling blocks before this people. The fathers and the sons together will stumble against them. The neighbor and his friend will perish.”
Hijeh chun Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Keiman kamite hi alamlhahna jouseuva kipal lhuhna kakoi ding; Apa leh achate kipallhu khomdiu chuleh hengleh kom, gollepai ho jouse jong thikhom diu ahi.
22 The LORD says, “Behold, a people comes from the north country. A great nation will be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.
Hijeh chun Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Vetan, sahlam gam’a konin melma nasatah ahung konin, Chuleh gamlatah’a konin jong nadoudiu namtin vaipi ahung kitil dohtai.
23 They take hold of bow and spear. They are cruel, and have no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, daughter of Zion.”
Amahon thalpi leh tengcha akichoiyun, amaho chu giloutah leh lungsetna neilouhel ahiuve. Sakol chunga ahung touvun, tampi ahung kitolun, akitol ginu chu twikhanglen kinong gin tobang ahi. Amahon galbol dingdan akisemtoh un, nangma sumang jeng din ahung konuve, vo Jerusalem” ati.
24 We have heard its report. Our hands become feeble. Anguish has taken hold of us, and pains as of a woman in labor.
Keihon melmate chung chang thuthang kajatauve. Kichat jeh in thabeiyin kakhutu angoilha jengtai. Dipdam voujang nat in eiphauvin, numei naosonat in aphah bangin kaum gamtauve.
25 Do not go out into the field or walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and terror are on every side.
Loujaova potdoh dauvin lang, Lampidunga jong vahle hih un! Ajeh chu melmapan chemjam akidop in, munjousea kichat tijat aume.
26 Daughter of my people, clothe yourself with sackcloth, and wallow in ashes! Mourn, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation, for the destroyer will suddenly come on us.
Vo kamite, khaodip pon kisil uvin lang, vutlah’a kitangun. Chapa changkhat seh manthahna chunga laina tah’a kap bangin kap un. Ajeh chu hetman louhela misumangpa chu nachunguva hung chuding ahi.
27 “I have made you a tester of metals and a fortress among my people, that you may know and try their way.
Vo Jeremiah, keiman nangma hi, kamite itobang mong hiuvem, ti hedoh dinga, thih patepna tobanga kasemdoh nahi.
28 They are all grievous rebels, going around to slander. They are bronze and iron. All of them deal corruptly.
Amaho hi, doumah bol’a lamkai milouchaltah ahiuvin: Chuleh muntin’ah mi seisea vahle ahiuve. Amaho hi, sum-eng lah thih banga tah’a, Chuleh midangho thilphalou bolsah’a makai ahiuve.
29 The bellows blow fiercely. The lead is consumed in the fire. In vain they go on refining, for the wicked are not plucked away.
Pumlongin, mei chu akijap amleng in; Ahivangin, hichun thih-eh ho chu alhutjal thengsel dehpoi. Ajeh chu agitlounau chu amangthei dehpoi.
30 Men will call them rejected silver, because the LORD has rejected them.”
Hijeh’a chu, Keiman amaho chu, lahtheilou dangka kati ding ahi. Ajeh chu, keima Pakaiyin amaho chu kapaimang ahitauve, ati.
