Jeremiah 40
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, after that Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him, being bound in chains, among all the captivity of Jerusalem and Judah, that were carried away captive to Babylon.
Babylon gam’a sohchang ding’a, Jerusalem mite leh Judah mite toh thihkhao’a akihen nauva kon’a, in-ngahpa Nebuzaradan in Jeremiah chu Raman kha, alhadoh jou nung chun, Pakai thusei Jeremiah heng’a ahung lhung in,
2 And the captain of the body-guard took Jeremiah, and said unto him, Jehovah thy God pronounced this evil upon this place,
In-ngah lamkaipan, Jeremiah akouvin ajah’a “Pakai na-Pathen chun, hilaimun douna-a hibang hamsetna ana phondoh bangchun, aguilhun sahtai.
3 and Jehovah hath brought [it about] and done according as he said; for ye have sinned against Jehovah, and have not hearkened unto his voice, therefore this thing is come upon you.
Ijeh inem itileh, hiche mite hi, Pakai dounan achonseuvin, chule athusei jong angaipeh pouve. Hiche jeh’a chu achung'uva hibang thilse hi hunglhung ahitai.
4 And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains that are upon thy hand. If it seem good in thy sight to come with me to Babylon, come, and I will keep mine eye upon thee; but if it seem ill unto thee to come with me to Babylon, forbear. See, all the land is before thee: whither it seemeth good and right in thy sight to go, thither go.
Ahin, keiman nakihenne thihkhao nasutpeh ingting, chule kalha-ong ding nahitai. Keitoh kilhon’a, Babylon gam’a cheding pha nasahle, hungin, keiman ijakai navetup nange. Ijemtia hilai mun’a umden ding pha nasah jongle, akhohpoi. Ven, hiche gam leiset pumpi hi na-ang sung’a aum’e, nadei deya nache thei ahi.
5 And while he had not yet given answer; [he said, ] Yea, go back to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath appointed over the cities of Judah, and abide with him in the midst of the people; or go wheresoever it seemeth right in thy sight to go. And the captain of the body-guard gave him provisions and a present, and let him go.
Hilai mun’a umdending nakigel lhah le, Babylon lengpan Judah gam khopi jouse chung’a vaipo ding’a apansah Ahikam chapa Gedaliah, Shaphan tupa kom’a chekittan. Ama kom’a naum’a chule mipi lah’a nachenthei ahi. Achutilou jongle, nangma nop nop’a na umthei ahitai, ati. Hichun, in-ngah pa Nebuzaradan in, Jeremiah chu nehding themkhat toh sum apen, asoldoh tai.
6 And Jeremiah came unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah, and abode with him among the people that remained in the land.
Chuin Jeremiah jong Hikam chapa Gedaliah umna Mizpah mun’a achetai. Chukom’a chun, amoh akidalha mi phabep chutoh achengkhom tauve.
7 And all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam over the land, and had committed unto him men, and women, and children, and of the poor of the land, of them that had not been carried away captive to Babylon.
Thinglhang lang’a pansa, Judah mite ding’a galbol lamkai ho chun, Judah gamsung’a vaipo dingin Hikam chapa Gedaliah chu, Babylon lengpan apansah in, ama khut’a chun, sohchang’a kikailou dalhah’a um pasal ho, numeiho, chapangho chule avaicha dehset ho jouse chu apeluttai, tithu ajatauvin ahi.
8 And they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah; even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
Hijeh chun, Gedaliah toh kimuto dingin amaho chu, Mizpah mun’a acheuvin ahi. Amaho chu: Nathaniah chapa Ismael, Karieh chapa teni Johanan le Jonathan, Tanhumeth chapa Seraiah, Ephai chapate, Ma-acath chapa Jezariah chule amaho noiya um amiteu jouse ahiuve.
9 And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan swore unto them and to their men, saying, Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
Hichun, Gedaliah akihahsel in, ajah uva, Babylon mite chu miphalou ahipouve. Amaho kin bolding chu kicha hih un, gamsung’a cheng uvin lang, Babylon lengpa kin boljeng uvin, hichu nangho dia aphapen hiding ahi, ati.
10 And as for me, behold, I dwell at Mizpah, to stand before the Chaldeans, who will come unto us; and ye, gather wine, and summer fruits, and oil, and put [them] in your vessels, and dwell in your cities which ye have taken.
Keivang, nangho jouse thalheng’a, eiho kimupia hungding Babylon mite angsung’a ding dia, Mizpah mun’a kachen ding ahi. Nangho vang, nachenphanau munhoa chun chengden unlang, lengpithei galeh nipilai theiga chule Olive theiga ho kilo khom uvin lang chule bel sung’a kikoitup uvin, ati.
11 Likewise all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the children of Ammon and in Edom, and that were in all the lands, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant in Judah, and that he had appointed over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan;
Hiti chun, Judah mite Moab gam’a, Ammon gam’a, Edom gam’a chule gamdang dang’a thamho chun, Babylon lengpan mi phabep Judah gam’a adalhan, chule gamsung pumpia vaipo ding in Gedaliah apansah’e ti ajatauvin ahi.
12 and all the Jews returned out of all the places whither they had been driven, and came to the land of Judah to Gedaliah, unto Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits in great abundance.
Hichun, amaho chu akithecheh nau gamho’a kon’in, ahung kile kit uvin, Judah gamsung ahinjon kittauve. Amahon Mizpah kho’a Gedaliah ahung kimupiuvin; chua kon chun, thnglhang gam lang ajon uvin, lengpi theiga leh theiga chom chom ho aloukhom un, amaho ding in tampi akikhol tauvin ahi.
13 And Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, came to Gedaliah unto Mizpah,
Hiche nung sotlouvin, Kariah chapa Johanan leh galbol lamkai phabep, Mizpah kho’a Gedaliah jeh’a,
14 and said unto him, Dost thou indeed know that Baalis the king of the children of Ammon hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to smite thee to death? But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not.
Amahon Gedaliah jah’a, “Ammon lengpa Boalis in nang that ding in Nathaniah chapa Ismael ahinsol e, ti thuhi, nangman nahetlou ham?” ahung tiuve. Gedaliah chu amaho thusei chu atahsanpoi.
15 And Johanan the son of Kareah spoke to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will smite Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and no man shall know it: why should he take thy life, and all they of Judah who are gathered unto thee be scattered, and the remnant of Judah perish?
Hichun Johanan in, atumbeh in Gedaliah akimupin, amatah chu Ismael thatdoh dingin akipedoh in ahi. Aman Gedaliah jah’a “Ibol’a Ismael in nang namoh tha jeng ding ham? Judah mite hijat hung kilekit’a nang nahinbel ho iti ding ham? Dalhah um eiho amoh chengse jonghi, imoh manthah jengdiu ham?” ati.
16 But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said unto Johanan the son of Kareah, Thou shalt not do this thing; for thou speakest falsely of Ishmael.
Ahivang in Gedaliah in Johanan jah’a “Nasei hi nabollou hel ding ahi. Ajeh chu nangman Ismael chungthu hi, jou nasei ahibouve,” ati.
