< Jeremiah 22 >

1 Thus saith Jehovah: Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Nangma Judah lengpa in-ah chesuh inlang, hiche thuhi gaseipeh tan,’’
2 and say, Hear the word of Jehovah, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people who enter in through these gates.
Juda lengpa, David laltouna toupa, ngaiyin, chule namite leh nasohten jong ngaicheh’uhen.
3 Thus saith Jehovah: Execute judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor; and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, or the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place.
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Thu adih in tanpih uvin chule thil adih in bol uvin. Athil kichompih ho chu panhu’uvin lang, amaho chu akibol ganthei nauva kon in huhdoh uvin. Chule nagitlounau chu dalhauvin. Gamchom mileh kholjin miho bolse hih un, chule chagate leh meithai ho chu pumhat in boldauvin. Chule themmona bei mite chunga thisan sodauvin.
4 For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in through the gates of this house kings sitting in the place of David upon his throne, riding in chariots and on horses, — he, and his servants, and his people.
Nanghon kathu nangaiyuleh, hiche mun’a hi, David laltouna-a, David son le pah ho toujing ding ahi. Chutia chu, lengho leh alhachac ho chule asohte, kangtalai leh sakol a tou uva, leng inpi kelkot a chu, lutle potle abol diu ahi.
5 But if ye will not hear these words, I have sworn by myself, saith Jehovah, that this house shall become a waste.
Amavang, nanghon kathusei hi donlouva nakoi vang ule, keima tah kamin’a kakitepna kasem ahi; Hiche mun hi ahomkeo leh keohel’a kalha ding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
6 For thus saith Jehovah concerning the house of the king of Judah: Thou art a Gilead unto me, the summit of Lebanon: verily I will make thee a wilderness, cities not inhabited.
Pakaiyin, Judah leng inpi thua hitin aseiye, “Keiding in nangma hi, Gilead lhang leh Lebanon gam hoitah banga chule mihem chennalou gam kasosah ding nahi.
7 And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons; and they shall cut down the choice of thy cedars, and cast [them] into the fire.
Keiman nangma sumang ding mi kakou ding, amahon ama cheh manchah ahin kichoi uva, nasuh gamdiu ahi. Amahon, Cedar thing hoilai ho aphuh uva, meiya ahalvam diu ahi.
8 And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbour, Wherefore hath Jehovah done thus unto this great city?
Gam chom chom’a kon hung kholjin namtin vaipin, hiche khopi hinjotpa jousen, ‘Ibol’a Pakaiyin hiche khopi lentah hi ahiti suhmang jeng hitam? tia amaho leh amaho kihoudiu ahi.
9 And they shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them.
Chutengle, “Amahon Pakai a Pathen’u toh akitepnau asuhkeh jeh uva, kisumang ahiuve,’ ti ahetdoh diu ahi.
10 Weep not for the dead, neither bemoan him; [but] weep sore for him that goeth away, for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
Lengpa din kadauvin, lunghempi dauvin, ama chu athi ahitai. Amavang, sohchanga kikaimangpa chu kapiuvin lang, apul douvun. Ajeh chu, aman agamsung ahung mukit louhel ding ahitai.
11 For thus saith Jehovah concerning Shallum the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, who went forth out of this place: He shall not return thither any more;
Hiche thuhi, apa Josiah khel’a lengchang Jehoahaz chungthu asei ahi. ama chu gal-hinga kikaimang ahin, agam a hung kilekit louding ahi.
12 for he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.
Ama chu migam’a thiden ding, agamsung anungmu louhel ding ahi.
13 Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his upper chambers by injustice; that taketh his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not his earning;
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, ‘Ohe ada ahi, lamdih lou tah’a in kisahpa! Thudih louva inpi kehlen’a, aheng akom tohman pelouva goipa, chule pumhat a kulpi kisempa!
14 that saith, I will build me a wide house, and spacious upper chambers; and he cutteth out for himself windows; and it is wainscoted with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
Hichepa hin, ‘Keiman inlentah khat kisah inge, indan tampi sem ing katin chule bangkot tampi Cedar thing in sem inge. Hichu rong sen in hoitah in loi ing kate,’’ ati.
15 Shalt thou reign, because thou viest with the cedar? Did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice? Then it was well with him.
amavang, Cedar thinga leng inpi nomtah leh loupitah kisahdoh jeh’a, leng vaipoa kipang ahipoi. Napa Josiah chu neh le don aning lhing set in; ama chu thudihtah ahin, ijakai adih in abol’e. Hijeh chun, Pathen phattheiboh achange.
16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Was not this to know me? saith Jehovah.
Aman vaicha gentheite apanpin, dihtah in vai ahom e. chule ama din imajouse aphatouvin akhangtouve. Hiche hi hilouham, keima toh kivopjing, kitichu,’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
17 But thine eyes and thy heart are only on thine extortion, and on the blood of the innocent, to shed it, and on oppression and on violence, to do it.
Nang invang, namit teni leh nalungthim hi, nangma changseh ding le alamlouva phatchomna muna ding bouvin naming in; monabei nathat in, vaicha gentheite nabol gentheijin, chule hepina umlouvin vai nahom e.
18 Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah: They shall not lament for him, Ah, my brother! or, Ah, sister! They shall not lament for him, Ah, lord! or Ah, his glory!
Hijeh chun, Josaih chapa Jehoiakim chung thuhi, Pakaiyin hitin aseiye. “Amapa hi, mihon athini le along a-oplou diu, vo sopipa vo golpa tiajong koima kaplou ding ahi. Amite jeng injong, vo Lengpa, kapu tia akapi umlou ding ahiuve.
19 He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, dragged along and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
Athi long chu, sangan thisa kivui banga, Jerusalem khopia kon’a kikaidoh’a, kelkot polam’a gakivui ding ahi.
20 Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and give forth thy voice in Bashan, and cry from [the heights of] Abarim: for all thy lovers are destroyed.
Lebanon’a naloi ho din kapin, chule amaho ding chu Bashan mun’a othong leuvin gasamin. Ab’arim mun’a amaho chu gaholtan, chule amaho din kapin, amaho chu abon'un akisugamtauve.
21 I spoke unto thee in thy prosperity; [but] thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy way from thy youth, that thou hearkenedst not unto my voice.
Nangma nakhantoupet in kana hil in, Ahinlah, nangman ngaiseh in naneipoi. Hitia hi, naneolaiya pat a kathusei ngailouva hung umpeh chu nahi.
22 The wind shall feed on all thy shepherds, and thy lovers shall go into captivity; surely, then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.
Tua hi, khopi huiyin napankhompi jouse asumang ding chule naloi nagol ho abon’a sohchanga kikaimang ding ahiuve. Chutahle nagitlouna ho jal’a, nangma najah chading chule nakisuh lungdong ding ahi.
23 Thou inhabitress of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how pitiful shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, pain as of a woman in travail!
Lebanon gam Cedar thinga kisa leng inpi hoitah sung’a busah chu anom e. Hijongle, numei naosonat tobanga nathoh gimmna ding hesoh gentheina nachunga hung lhung ding ahi.
24 [As] I live, saith Jehovah, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, were a signet upon my right hand, yet will I pluck thee thence;
Pakaiyin aseiye, ‘Keima kahing jinge. Juda lengpa Jehoiakim chapa Jehoiachin, keiman nagma kadalhah ding nahi. Keidinga nangma hi kajitlam’a kibut khutjem nahivangin, kasutlhah ding nahi.
25 and I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them before whom thou art afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Nanghi, thadinga nahol namelmate khut’a, chule nakichat mama jeng Nebuchadnezzar leh asepaite khut’a kapehdoh nahitai.
26 And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bare thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die.
Nang le nanu jong hiche gamsung’a kon’a kanodoh ding, chule nangma hiche gamsunga nathi lou ding, migam danga nathiden ding ahi.
27 And into the land whereunto they lift up their souls to return, thither shall they not return.
Chule nagam’a nahung kilekit tah louding ahi.
28 Is this man Coniah a despised broken vase? a vessel wherein is no delight? Wherefore are they thrown out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?
Ibol’a Jehoiachin kitipa hi, belkehsa panna neilou banga um hitam? Ibol’a ama leh achate jouse mi gamdanga soh’a kinomang u hitam?
29 O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of Jehovah!
Vo leiset, vo gam leiset, Pakai thusei hi ngaiyun!
30 Thus saith Jehovah: Write this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days; for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Jehoiachin kitipa hi, son leh pah neilou, ahinkho sunga ima boldohlou mipa ahi, tin sunlut un. Ajeh chu achate atute khatcha beh jong, David laltouna touva, Judah gamsung a vaihom ding umlou ding ahi.
