Jeremiah 17
1 The sin of Judah is written with a style of iron, with the point of a diamond, engraven upon the tablet of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;
Pakaiyin aseiye, “Judahte chonset hi, thih-mol hemtah khat’a kijih’a, chule songmantam ning-hem khat’a kijih’a, song bang’a tah alungsung uva chu kijihlut peh’a, chule amaicham phung ningho’a kigeilult peh ahitauve’’ ati.
2 whilst their children remember their altars and their Asherahs, by the green trees, upon the high hills.
Molvum tin leh thingphung tin’a, asemdoh u milim doi pathen maicham leh Ahsherah pathenu melchihna kitunna min jouse, achateu kisen acheuvin chibai agaboh jiuve.
3 My mountain in the field, thy substance, all thy treasures will I give for a spoil, — thy high places, because of sin throughout thy borders.
Hijeh’a chu, nagamsung uva nahaona jouseu leh nakholdoh jouseu, chuleh na maicham phung jouseu chu, nachonset jeh uva, namelmateu khut’a kapehdoh diu nahitauve.
4 And of thyself thou shalt let go thine inheritance which I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in a land that thou knowest not; for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, — it shall burn for ever.
Chule nagoulo dinga kapehdohsa jong chu nangma khut’a kon’a kitoldoh’a nalhaso ding ahi. Keiman namelmate khut’a kapehdoh ding, nangman nahetkhah louhel gam’a sohchang a naumding ahi. Ajeh chu, kalunghanna meikou bangin akou jengtan, aitih’a kou jing ding ahitai.
5 Thus saith Jehovah: Cursed is the man that confideth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from Jehovah.
Pakaiyin aseiye, “Pakaiya kon’a alungthim kiheimanga, mihem’a kisonga chuleh mihem thahat kisonpi hochu gaosap changhen, ati.
6 And he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but he shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.
Hitobang michu, nelgam’a hamphung keh tobangbep ahiuvin, kinepna ding ima aneipouve. Amaho chu gamthip leigo lah’a cheng hidiu, mihem chenna theilou chilei lah’a cheng hidiu ahi.
7 Blessed is the man that confideth in Jehovah, and whose confidence Jehovah is.
Amavang, koi hileh, Pakaiya kingaiya, chule akinepna leh akisonna Pakai hijingpa chu anunnom ahi.
8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out its roots by the stream, and he shall not see when heat cometh, but his leaf shall be green; and in the year of drought he shall not be careful, neither shall he cease to yield fruit.
Amaho chu luipanga thingphung keh tobangm twi lah’a thuhtah’a ajung kholut’a hingjing tobang ahiuve. Hitobang thingphung chun, nipilai nisat ding leh gotwi lhahlou ding agingpoi. Aphatseh in ana ahingjing in chule aphatchan agadoh jing in ahi, ati.
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and incurable; who can know it?
Mihem lungsung hi, adang jouse sanga phatlouna leh lheplhahna dimset a, sea ahitai. Mihem lungsung hekhen them ding koiham?
10 I Jehovah search the heart, I try the reins, even to give each one according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
Amavang, kei Pakaiyin miho lunggil jouse kakhol toh jin, achonnau dungjuiyin kape cheh jin ahi.
11 [As] the partridge sitteth on [eggs] it hath not laid, [so] is he that getteth riches and not by right: in the midst of his days shall he leave them, and at his end shall be a fool.
Adihlouva sum mkua haodohpa chu, athah louhel midang twi oppeh tobang ahi. Ama chu ahin hoilai tah’a, ahaona ho hung'ah mang ding; Achaina le, achunga vaichatna leh ngolna hung chu ding ahi.
12 A throne of glory, [set] on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
Amavang, na laltouna tonsot’a umjing chu, sangtah le loupitah ahin, keihon nangma chibai kaboh jing uve.
13 Thou hope of Israel, Jehovah! all that forsake thee shall be ashamed. They that depart from me shall be written in the earth; because they have forsaken Jehovah, the fountain of living waters.
Vo Pakai, Israel mite kinepna! Nanga kon’a kiheimanga nadalha ho abon'uva kijumso diu ahi. Ajeh chu, amahon Pakai anungsun’uva, hinna twinah jong adalhah tah jeh’un, amaho leivui lah a kivui diu ahitai.
14 Heal me, Jehovah, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
Vo Pakai, keima neidam sah in, chutile damtheng tange, neihuhhing in chutileh hinna tahbeh kachan ding ahi. Chuteng keiman nang jeng bou kavahchoi ding nahi.
15 Behold, these say unto me, Where is the word of Jehovah? let it then come!
Vetan, mihon ei-enghouvun, kajah’a “Pakaiya kon naphondoh ho chu iti hitam? Ibol’a nathusei ho guilhung lou ham?’’ atiuve.
16 But as for me, I have not hastened from being a shepherd in following thee, neither have I desired the fatal day, thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was before thy face.
Pakai, namite chingtup’a neipansahna katong jing e. Namite chunga thohgimna alhun ding kadeipoi. Kakamsung sohsa kathusei ho abon’a nahetsoh ahi.
17 Be not a terror unto me: thou art my refuge in the day of evil.
Pakai, kichat tijat umtah in neibol hih in! Ajeh chu nikhophalou hunglhun nia, kakiselna leh kakinepna nangbou nahi.
18 Let them be ashamed that persecute me, but let not me be ashamed; let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed; bring upon them the day of evil, and break them with a double breaking.
Keima bolsea pangho chunga jum le ja lhunsah in, Amavang keiman jum le ja kathoh ding ho’a konin neihuh doh in. Amaho chung joh’a tijat naleh manthahna, alenia nasajon lhunsah in.
19 Thus hath Jehovah said unto me: Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, by which the kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
Pakaiyin kajah’a hitin aseiye, “Chenlang Jerusalem khopi kelkot phung jousea gadingin. Amasan Judah lengte lut leh potna kelkot’a gadingin; chujoule kelkot dangho jong gakhol suh in.’’
20 and say unto them, Hear the word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates;
Miho jouse henga seiyin, “Judah lengte leh Jerusalem a cheng Judah mite jouse, hiche hi, Pakai thusei ahi, ngaiyun.’’
21 thus saith Jehovah: Take heed to your souls, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, and bring nothing in through the gates of Jerusalem;
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Nahinkho diuvin kigingphauvin, kasei hi ngaiyun. Sabbath nikhon Jerusalem kelkot ho’a, na sumkol veinau thilho pohlut leh pohdoh bol hih un.
22 and carry forth no burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do any work; but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers,
Sabbath nikho’n nangma insung cheh’a jong, natong hih un. Amavang, napu napateu henga thupeh kapehsa bangin, Sabbath nikho chu atheng in nit jing un.’’
23 but they hearkened not, neither inclined their ear, but hardened their neck, that they might not hear nor receive instruction.
Ahinlah, amahon kathusei hi angaipouve. Louchal tah in aum uvin, kathupeh jouse donlouvin akoi uve.
24 And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith Jehovah, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, and to hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Amavang, nanghon kathupeh chengse najui uva, Sabbath nikho chu theng tah’a nanit dingu ahi. Hiche nikhole kelkot dunga thil napoh le lou diu, chule na natohlou diu ahi.
25 then shall there enter in, through the gates of this city, kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their princes, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall be inhabited for ever.
Chutengle, lengho leh achapateu kelkot hoa chu lutle potle jing diu, chule leng David laltouna chu alah uva umjing ding ahi. Lengho leh achapateu chu kangtalai leh sakol chunga tou’uva, Judah mipite toh kilhonlut le jing diu ahitai.
26 And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowland, and from the hill-country, and from the south, bringing burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, and oblations, and incense, and bringing thanksgiving unto the house of Jehovah.
Chutah le, Jerusalem kimvel’a kon, Judah gamsung leh Benjamin gamsung khopi jousea kon, thinglhang gam’a kon, chule Negep gam’a kon in, mipi tamtah hung kikhom uvintin, amahon govam thilto, kilhaina gamtha, chang le bego thilto chule thangvahna thilto tampi, Pakai houin sung a ahinpohlut diu ahi.
27 But if ye will not hearken unto me, to hallow the sabbath day and not to bear a burden and enter in through the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day, then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
Amavang, nanghon kathusei na ngaidauva, chule Sabbath nikho chu atheng’a nanit lou’uleh; Chule Sabbath nikho’a jong, Jerusalem kelkot dunga nikho dang banga, nathil hou napohlut leuleh; Veuvin, keiman kelkot phung dunga mei kahal ding, hichua leng inpiho geiya akahlhah ding, koiman aphelmit joulou hel ding ahi,’’ati.
