Jeremiah 18
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
Pakaiyin Jeremiah heng’a hitin aseiye,
2 Arise and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.
“Beldengpa in-ah khun gachesuh in, chukom’a chu keiman najah’a thu kaseiding ahi,’’ ati.
3 And I went down to the potter's house; and behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.
Chuin, Pakaiyin asei bang chun, keima beldengpan kang apeija pontho tah’a bel asempet katoh in ahi.
4 And the vessel that he made was marred, as clay, in the hand of the potter; and he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make.
Aman abel denchu, adeibang tah’a asodoh louteng, bellei chun asugoiyin, thilchom in asemdoh jitai.
5 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Pakaiyin kahenga hitin aseiye,
6 House of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith Jehovah. Behold, as the clay in the potter's hand, so are ye in my hand, house of Israel.
Vo Israel, beldengpan leingan chu adei deiya asemdohji banga, keiman nanghohi kabolmo nahiuvem? Bellei chu beldengpa thu thua asembang a, nangho jong kakhut’a um nahiuve.
7 At the moment that I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to break down, and to destroy,
Keiman namkhat ham ahiloule lenggam khat ham chu, ajung bodoh’a suhmang ding kati teng,
8 if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turn from their evil, then I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.
Hiche nam mite chun, agitlounauva kon’a lung ahin heikituva, ahung kilehei kit ule; Keiman achunguva boldinga kagelhuhsa thilsea kon’a, kalung kakhel kitding ahi.
9 And at the moment that I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant,
Alangkhat a, namkhat ham ahiloule lenggam khat ham chu, kasemphat a kaphudet ding ahi tia, kaphondohsa ahitai.
10 if it do evil in my sight, that it hearken not unto my voice, then I will repent of the good wherewith I said I would benefit them.
Ahivanga, hiche mite chun, kamitmua thilse leh thilphalou abol uva, kathusei angailou ule, kalung kakhelkit jing ding, phatthei kabohlou heldiu ahi, ati.
11 And now, speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I prepare evil against you, and devise a device against you: turn ye then every one from his evil way, and amend your ways and your doings.
Hitijeh chun, tun chenlang, Judahte leh Jerusalem mite gaseipeh in: “Pakaiyin aseiye, Nangho douna kathilgon, nachunguva talen kamatsah ding koncha ahitai. Hijeh chun nangho ami takip chu, nagitlounauva kon in hung kilehei kit uvin chuleh kisemphauvin,’’ati.
12 But they say, There is no hope; for we will walk after our own devices, and we will each one do [according to] the stubbornness of his evil heart.
Ahinlah amahon adonbut uvin, “Hichu pannabei naphat mansah ahibouve. Keiho kalungtah nom ule lungtah ungting, thilse kadei ule kadei dei boltah tangu, ipi khoh am?’’ atiuve.
13 Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Ask ye now among the nations, Who hath heard such things? The virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing.
Hijeh chun Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Namtin vaipi lah’a jong gadong leuvin. Hitobang thuhi ahekha koi um am? Kachanu deitah Israel in thil kidah um tahtah aboltai.
14 Shall the snow of Lebanon cease from the rock of the field? Shall the cool flowing waters coming from afar be dried up?
Lebanon molsang vum’a buhbang beikha a, chule gamla tah a hiche molsang ho’a kon’a hung longdoh twidapjen vadung ho kang kha am?
15 For my people hath forgotten me: they burn incense to vanity; and they have caused them to stumble in their ways, the ancient paths, to walk in by-paths of a way not cast up;
Ahinlah, kamiten kitahna aneipouve. Amahon keima einungsun’un, pannabei semthu doilim hounan gim namtwi ahaltauve. Achena diu lamlen chu kiselhuhnan aneiyun, lampi dihlouva alamlha gamtauve.
16 to make their land an astonishment, a perpetual hissing: every one that passeth by shall be astonished, and shake his head.
Hijeh’a chu, agamsung u akeova kijam ding ahi. Ajeh chu, amahon thil kidah umtah tampi aboltauve. Agamsungu jotpa tapou tija lihdiu, chule alu-u athinkhum diu ahi.
17 As with an east wind will I scatter them before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.
Nisolam khohuiyin leivui vanpil thena anei banga, keiman kamite chu, amelmateu masanga, kathecheh gamdiu ahi. Chule hesoh genthei, hamsetna ato niuleh, keiman kanung kangatding, kapanhu louhel diu ahi,’’ati.
18 And they said, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor word from the prophet. Come and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.
Hichun amahon aseiyun, “Hung un, Jeremiah hi alonaje ding khat gongu hite. Eiho eihil uva eiphoh diu thempu ho, miching ho chule themgao ho tampi ineinauve. Eihon hichepa hi ingaichapouve, athusei ho ngapih pou hitin, ama douna thujoh haseiyin seiyu hite,’’ atiuve.
19 Jehovah, give heed to me, and listen to the voice of those that contend with me.
Vo Pakai, neikhoh sah inlang nei panpin, Kamelma ten kachunga eidounau thu asei chengseu hi, neihet peh in, katao ahi.
20 Shall evil be recompensed for good? For they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before thee to speak good for them, to turn away thy wrath from them.
Thilpha chu thilsea kilethuh angai mong ham? Amahon kathina ding kokhuh alaiyun, kenla amaho dingin na-ang sunga taona kaneiyun; Achunguva nalunghan achuh lou nadin kappum in kataopeh in ahi. Nangin hingeldoh tei teiyin.
21 Therefore give up their children to the famine, and deliver them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of children and be widows; and let their men be swept off by death, their young men be smitten by the sword in battle.
Hijeh chun, achateu kel thohsah inlang, Amaho abonchauvin chemjam in lousah in. Ajinuteu cha neilouvin abonchauvin meithai soh uhen, Tehse hou natna in thiu hen, chule golhang ho galmun’a chemjam in satgam uhen.
22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them; for they have digged a pit to take me, and have hidden snares for my feet.
Hetman louvin, amaho chu gal miten lhunkhum uhen, A-injouseuva ka le mao ogin kijasoh kei hen. Ajeh chu amahon keima thina ding kokhuh alaiyun, chule kalam lhahna-a thang akam leleuve.
23 And thou, Jehovah, knowest all their counsel against me to slay me. Forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee: deal with them in the time of thine anger.
Vo Pakai, kei thana dinga athilgon’u abonchan nangman nahei. Athilse bol’u chulnampih hih in, chule achonsetnau jong ngaidam hih beh in. Nalunghan nachun amaho hi bolgim inlang, na-ang sunga thisah jeng in, kati ahi.
