Jeremiah 1
1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkijah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
Hiche hi, Benjamin gamsunga Anathoth khomi Hilikiah thempu chapa Jeremiah thusei ho ahi.
2 to whom the word of Jehovah came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign;
Judah lengpa Amon chapa Josiah lengvaipoh kum somthum leh thum lhin kum in, Pakai thusei chu Jeremiah henga ahung lhungtan ahi.
3 it came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive, in the fifth month.
Hiche ho chu, Josiah chapa Jehoiakim lengvaipoh gei laiyin jong ahung lhungin, chuleh Josiah dangkhat Juda leng Zedikiah lengvaipoh kal kum som leh khat toh lhanga lhinni geiyin, Jerusalem mite sohchanga akikaimang nikho geiyin jong ahung lhung in ahi.
4 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Hiti chun Pakai thusei chu kaheng ahunglhung tan ahi.
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I hallowed thee, I appointed thee a prophet unto the nations.
“Keiman nanu naobu sung’a, nalim namel kagondoh masanga, nangma kahetsa nahitai. Nahung penlhah masanga, Keiman nangma namtin vaipi henga keima themgao ding’a, kathenso’a chuleh kapansah nahitai,’’ ati.
6 And I said, Alas, Lord Jehovah! behold, I cannot speak; for I am a child.
Chuphat in kenjong, “Vo thaneipen Pakai, keima kachapang behseh jeng in, Nang’a dingin ima seidoh thei ponge,’’ kati.
7 But Jehovah said unto me, Say not, I am a child; for thou shalt go to whomsoever I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
Ahivangin Pakaiyin kajah’a, “Kachapang behseh e, tihih in; Ajeh chu keiman kasolna hoilai hijongleh nache ding, chuleh keiman kapeh thuho bou nasei ding ahibouve.
8 Be not afraid of them; for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith Jehovah.
Amaho chu kicha hih in, Ajeh chu keiman nangma kaumpi jengding, chuleh kahuh doh jing ding nahi,’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
9 And Jehovah put forth his hand and touched my mouth; and Jehovah said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
Hichun Pakaiyin akhut ahinlhang in, kakamsung ahin khoiyin, kajah’a aseitai, “Vetan, keiman kathu ho, nakam sunga kakoipeh tai.
10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up, and to break down, and to destroy, and to overthrow, to build and to plant.
Tunia hi, nangma nadindoh’a namtin vaipi leh lenggamho chunga douna thusei dinga, keiman kapansah nahitai. Nangman amaho phabep chu, ajung geiya nabo doh’a naheboh ding; nasuh mang’a chuleh nalekhup ding ahi. Chuleh adangho chu naphu det’a, nasahdoh ding ahi,’’ ati.
11 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond-tree.
Chuin Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Jeremiah ven, ipi namum?” ati. Keiman kadonbut in, “Jon-mot thingbah khat kamui,” kati.
12 And Jehovah said unto me, Thou hast well seen; for I am watchful over my word to perform it.
Hichun Pakaiyin kajah’a, “Adih’e, hichu keiman nangma kavelhi jingin, chuleh kathil gonsa banga kaboltei ding ahi,” ati.
13 And the word of Jehovah came to me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething-pot, and its face is from the north.
Chujouvin, Pakaiyin avellin kajah’a, “Tua adang ipi namum?” ati. Keiman kadonbut in, “sahlam’a kon twibel ki-om phul letlut khat, hung kibung lha kamui,” kati.
14 And Jehovah said unto me, Out of the north shall evil break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
Hichun Pakaiyin kajah’a, “Adih e, sahlam’a konin kichat umtah manthahna chu hung kipan intin, gamsung a cheng jouse chung a hung chuding ahi.
15 For behold, I am calling all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith Jehovah, and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah:
Ngaiyun, keiman sahlam lenggam ho’a kon’a namtin vaipi Jerusalem khopia hung dinga kakoi ding ahi. Hichehi keima Pakai chun kaseidohsa ahitai. Chutahleh amahon Jerusalem kulpi kotphung dung jouse leh Judate khopi dangho kimvel’a laltouna akidouva, gal abolkhum diu ahi.
16 and I will pronounce my judgments against them for all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.
Chutahleh, keiman kamite achonset jeh’uva achunguva thutanna kaneikhum ding; Ajeh chu amahon keima einungsun’uvin chuleh lim semthu pathen ang-ah gim namtwi ahaluvin ahi. Amahon akhut tah’uva akisem’u doilim chu ahougamtauve.
17 Thou, therefore, gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I shall command thee: be not dismayed at them, lest I cause thee to be dismayed before them.
Thoudoh in, kigosan um'in, Keiman amaho seipeh dinga kathupeh jouse, amaho gaseipeh tan. chuleh amaho chu kicha hih in, achutilouleh amaho masanga kasuhjum ding nahi.
18 And I, behold, I appoint thee this day as a strong city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls, against the whole land; against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land.
Vetan, tunia hi keiman nangma suhchim joulou kulpi dettah, thih khopi leh sum-eng tho kikaikhum banga, kasemdoh nahitai. Nangma gam-leiset pumpi douna-a nadin ding; lengho, gamvaipo ho, thempu ho, chuleh Judah mite jouse douna-a pangdet chet ding a kasem nahitai.
19 And they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee, saith Jehovah, to deliver thee.
Amahon nang douna gal ahinbol diu, hijongleh ajolou diu ahi. ajeh chu keiman nangma kaumpi jing ding chuleh kavenbit ding nahi. Hiche hi, keima Pakaiyin kaphondoh ahi,” ati.
