Jeremiah 10
1 Hear the word that Jehovah speaketh unto you, house of Israel.
Vo Israel Insung, naheng’a Pakai thusei hi ngaiyuvin!
2 Thus saith Jehovah: Learn not the way of the nations, and be not dismayed at the signs of the heavens; for the nations are dismayed at them.
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Namtin vaipi ho chonna bangin, vanthangjol’a melchihna chom chom ho jeh in, khonung thua nangho lungthoi hih`un. Amaho jeh chun namtin vaipi tija jongleh, nangho vang kicha hih`un.
3 For the statutes of the peoples are vanity; for [it is] a tree cut out of the forest, worked with a chisel by the hands of the artizan;
Ajeh chu, amaho chonna lamlheh jouse chu, thujou leh ngolna thu jeng ahi: Amahon gamlah’a thingphung ho aphuhlhu uvin, hichea chu thingthem bolpan, semthu pathen lim asemdoh ji ahi.
4 they deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
Hichu, sana leh dangka in atomjol un, thingkil in akilun, sehcha’n akhendet un, akitoldoh louna diu asemjiuve.
5 They are as a palm-column of turned work, and they speak not; they are carried, for they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
Amahon asemthu-u pathen limho chu, paotheilou leh chattheilou ahin, loulaiya vachate kichat dinga kisemthu milim ho bep ahiuvin, doplea choile ding bep ahiuve, Hitobang semthu pathen ho chu kicha hih un, amaho chun, nachung a thilse jong chuleh thilpha jong abolthei pouve” ati
6 There is none like unto thee, Jehovah; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
Vo Pakai hatchungnung, nangtoh kibang koima aumpoi. Nangma loupitah leh lentah nahin, namin jong thaneitah ahi.
7 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? For to thee doth it appertain; for among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.
Nangma namtin vaipi chunga leng nahin, nang changing bou ahi. Ajeh chu, leiset chung a miching jouse leh lenggam jouse lah’a, nangtoh kibang aumpoi.
8 But they are one and all senseless and foolish; the teaching of vanities is a stock.
Semthu doilim houhohi, angol leh atanang jeng ahiuve. Amahon kichatah’a ajen uva ahouvuchu, thing’a kon’a kisem thu ahibouve.
9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artizan and of the hands of the founder; blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of skilful [men].
Amahon Tarshish a konin dangka kikhengtohsa chuleh Uphaz a konin sana ahinpodoh uvin; Hichehoa kon chun, khutthem mihon, semthu pathen lim semdoh un, chujouteng, ponkhui themhon hiche ho chu, ponsandup leh pondum in atomjolsel uvin ahi.
10 But Jehovah Elohim is truth; he is the living God, and the King of eternity. At his wrath the earth trembleth, and the nations cannot abide his indignation.
Ahinlah, Pakai chu amabou Pathen dihtah ahijing e. Ama chu hingjing Pathen ahin, tonsot lengpa ahi. Alunghan in van leh leiset akithinsah in, namtin vaipin alungsat adoujoupoi.
11 Thus shall ye say unto them: The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.
Hichehi semthu Pathen lim houho heng a seipehun, “Nanghon nahouvu, van le leiset ‘a kon’a mangthah gamdiu ahi, tipeh’un,’’ ati:
12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his understanding.
Pakaiyin athahat in leiset asemdoh in, achihnan leiset atungdet e. Chule athil hetkhen themnan vanthamjol hi, pon bangin aphou jahe.
13 When he uttereth his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the end of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries.
Ama thusah in vanthamjol gin akithongin chule go ajujin; Aman leiset chunga konin meibol ho akaithou sahjin ahi. Aman gotwi ajuhlhah sahjin, kolphe avahsahjin, Chule khopi hui jong akholna-a konin aladohjui ahi.
14 Every man is become brutish, bereft of knowledge; every founder is put to shame by the graven image, for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
Mijouse hi hetna beiyin tanang in aum’uve. Khut themtah’a thil semdoh ho jong, asemthu-u milim ho chun ajumsah gam’u ahitai. Ajeh chu, asemdoh hou chu abon’a alem’a kisemdoh chule haina hu neilou jeng ahiuve.
15 They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Hiche semthu doilim ho chu, abon’a pannabei leh alem jong ahiuve. Amaho chu, Pakai nikho ahunglhun teng, Kisumang soh hel dingu ahi.
16 The portion of Jacob is not like them; for it is he that hath formed all [things], and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
Ahivangin, Israel Pathen chu, amaho tobang’a semthu ahipoi. Ama chu imajouse semdohpa Pathen dihtah chu ahin; Israel jeng jong, ama goulo dinga akilhendoh ahin, Ama min chu thaneipen Pakai ahi.
17 Gather up thy baggage out of the land, O inhabitress of the fortress.
Naponvai kichuntup un, khopi dalha dingin kigosan um un, gal miten naumkimsoh’u ahitai.
18 For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will this time sling out the inhabitants of the land, and will distress them, that they may be found.
Ijeh inem itileh Pakaiyin hitin aseiye. “Photlot changa, hiche gamsunga chengho nabonuva, kasepdoh ding nahiuve. Keiman nachunguva gim gentheina nasatah kabuh lhah ding, chuleh nanghon kalungsatna natokhah teidiu ahi,”ati.
19 Woe is me, for my wound! My stroke is hard to heal, and I had said, Yea, this is [my] grief, and I will bear it.
Kaki suhkhahna maha anase behseh in, kathoh gimna jong ahahsa valtai. Kanatna jong adamthei louding ahitan, hijongle engbolna kato ahijeh'in, kathoh doh ding ahi, kati.
20 My tent is despoiled, and all my cords are broken; my children are gone forth from me, and they are not; there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
Ka-in jong akisusen, eikithopia eisoldoh pih ding mi koima aumpoi. Kachate jong eilah peh uvin, keiman avel’a amaho chu kamukit louding ahitai.
21 For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not sought Jehovah; therefore have they not acted wisely, and all their flock is scattered.
Kamite, kelngoi chinga pangho, alung chavai leh atanang jeng ahiuvin: Ajeh chu, amahon Pakaiya hungkon chihna ahol tapouve. Hitijeh chun, abolna lam jouseuva alosam’un, chuleh achin’u kelngoi hon ho jong avahcheh gamtauvin ahi.
22 The voice of a rumour! Behold, it cometh, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling-place of jackals.
Ngaiyun, gin umtah gal miho ogin kithong jeju pumin, sahlam’a konin ahung kitolsuh uve. Amahon Judate khopi jouse alonkhumuva asuhmangdiu, khogem nung’a ngei-hon te kokhuh asosah diu ahi.
23 I know, Jehovah, that the way of man is not his own; it is not in a man that walketh to direct his steps.
O Pakai keiman kahet Kahinkhohi keima thua um ahipon, chuleh kakalse nading leh kam'a lamjot nading jong, keima sunga um ahipoi.
24 Jehovah, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
Hijeh chun Vo Pakai, keima neisudih tan, Na lunghan hu-in vang neibol hih in, keiman kadoujou louhel ding ahi.
25 Pour out thy fury upon the nations that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name; for they have eaten up Jacob, yea, they have eaten him up and consumed him, and have laid waste his dwelling-place.
Nalungsat chu, nangma hephalou namtin vaipi ho chunga bunglhan. Chule nangma minphah nomlou mite chunga bunglhan. Ajeh chu amahon Israel insung abahgamun, anechai hel tauve. Chuleh agamsungu jong ahomkeovin aumsah tauvin ahi.
