< Jeremiah 14 >

1 The Word of the Lord that came to Jeremias concerning the words of the drought.
Hiche hi, go-twi hahsat jeh’a, Jeremiah henga Pakai thusei hunglhung chu ahi.
2 Judea hath mourned, and the gates thereof are fallen, and are become obscure on the ground, and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
Judah alung hem in; Akhopi jousea mi athi athin, khopi kot jouse akikhah gamtai. Amite jouse tollhanga akijam’un, akap kap uve. Jerusalem mite panpi ngaicha a kanau ogin a kithonge.
3 The great ones sent their inferiors to the water: they came to draw, they found no water, they carried back their vessels empty: they were confounded and afflicted, and covered their heads.
Milen milal hon, asohteu twi hol in asol un, ahinlah twikul leh twinah ho abon'in akang gamtai. Asohteuvin twila amijou pouvin, bel keovin akile kit un, a lungdon man’un ponlu akikhuh lo tauve.
4 For the destruction of the land, because there came no rain upon the earth, the husbandmen were confounded, they covered their heads.
Go ajuh tahlou jeh in, tol agotan apohkhi gamtai. Loubol ho jong alunggim behseh uvin, vetna ding helouvin aumtauvin ahi.
5 Yea, the hind also brought forth in the field, and left it, because there was no grass.
Gamlah a hamhing aumtapon, Sakhipin jong anou pengthah chu adalha jeng tai.
6 And the wild asses stood upon the rocks, they snuffed up the wind like dragons, their eyes failed, because there was no grass.
Gam sangante jong lhangvum’a achailaiya ading leuvin, Ngei-hon te bang in hui ahop hel hol uve. Neh ding hamhing umlou, kel athoh thoh jeh un, amit uvin kho amugamtapoi.
7 If our iniquities have testified against us, O Lord, do thou it for thy name’s sake, for our rebellions are many, we have sinned against thee.
Kamite kahenga ahung taovun, Kachonset nau jouse ahung kilangdoh jengtai, Vo Pakai! Hijongle, nangma min suhminset’a aumlou nadin, nangman nabol ding chu boljeng inlang, keiho jong neilungset’un neipanpiuvin. Ajeh chu keiho nangma douna kachonse behseh tauve.
8 O expectation of Israel, the Saviour thereof in time of trouble: why wilt thou be a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man turning in to lodge?
O Pakai, Israel kinepna! Hahsat genthei nikhoa eipanpiu nangbou nahi, ibol’a namite lah’a kholgam mi banga naum ham? Ipi dinga maljin vahle, jankhat tou gehpa banga naum ham?
9 Why wilt thou be as a wandering man, as a mighty man that cannot save? but thou, O Lord, art among us, and thy name is called upon by us, forsake us not.
Ipi dinga nangma lungdong tah banga naum a, Thahat pen nahin, ima boljoulou banga naum hitam? O Pakai, nangma kalah uva naum jingin, keiho namite kahiuve. Donlouvin neikoi hih’un, atiuve,” ati!
10 Thus saith the Lord to his people, that have loved to move their feet, and have not rested, and have not pleased the Lord: He will now remember their iniquities, and visit their sins.
Chuin Pakaiyin a mite jah a hitin aseiye, “Nanghon keiya kon’a gamlatah’a jamdoh ding bou nadeiyun, chule nakitim jou pouve. Hijeh chun, nachunguva kalung alheipoi. Keiman na chonsetnau jouse ka geldoh jing ding, chule hiche ho jeh’a chu na chunguva talen kamatsah teiding nahiuve,” ati.
11 And the Lord said to me: Pray not for this people for their good.
Hichun Pakaiyin kajah’a, ‘Hiche mite ding in taoda tan,’ ati.
12 When they fast I will not hear their prayers: and if they offer holocausts and victims, I will not receive them: for I will consume them by the sword, and by famine, and by the pestilence.
Amahon an ngol’u hen, kap jongleu, ataonau kasanpih louding: Pumgo thilto leh lhosoh thilto hinchoi jongleu, kasanpih loudiu ahi. Amaho chu, chemjam leh gilkel a chule natna hisea kasuh gamdiu ahi,” ati.
13 And I said: Ah, ah, ah, O Lord God, the prophets say to them: You shall not see the sword, and there shall be no famine among you, but he will give you true peace in this place.
Chuphat in kenjong, “Vo Pakai Hatchungnung, vetan, athemgao houvin mipite jah’a “gamsung a cham leng ding, gal leh kel umlou ding, Pakaiyin cham leh lungmon thonlouva ahin lhunsah ding ahi, atibouve,” kati.
14 And the Lord said to me: The prophets prophesy falsely in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, nor have I spoken to them: they prophesy unto you a lying vision, and divination and deceit, and the seduction of their own heart.
Hichun Pakaiyin ei donbut in, “Hiche themgao ho chun, kamin’a jouthu jeng agaovu ahi. Keiman amaho sol jong kasolpon, chule ahenguva thupeh jong kaneipoi. Gaothu aphon’u jong jou le nal’a mi lhepna-a, asemthu’u ahibouve.
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that prophecy in my name, whom I did not send, that say: Sword and famine shall not be in this land: By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
Hijeh chun Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Jou le nal’a gaothu phong ho chu, keiman talen kamatsah tei ding ahi. Ajeh chu keima min in, gal le kel hung lhung lou ding ahi, atiuvin; Keiman amaho abonchauva gal le kel thoh’a kathigam sah dingu ahi.
16 And the people to whom they prophecy, shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword, and there shall be none to bury them: they and their wives, their sons and their daughters, and I will pour out their wickedness upon them.
Chule amahon gaothu aseipih miho jong, gal le kel a, thigamdiu; Jerusalem kholai dunga atahsau chu kipaithang soh diu, avuidiu ding koima umlou ding ahi. Ajeh chu agitlounau jouse chu amaho chung’a kalebuh lhah khum diu, abonchauva ajiteu leh achateu pum’a mangthah gamdiu ahi.
17 And thou shalt speak this word to them: Let my eyes shed down tears night and day, and let them not cease, because the virgin daughter of my people is afflicted with a great affliction, with an exceeding grievous evil.
Hichun Jeremiah in hitin aseiye, “Sun le jan in kamit lhi long long jeng hen, tangmo hel in kap inge. Ajeh chu, kamite melse tah in amachangun, thidingin natna athoh uve.
18 If I go forth into the fields, behold the slain with the sword: and if I enter into the city, behold them that are consumed with famine. The prophet also and the priest are gone into a land which they knew not.
Keima loujaova kaga chele, gal’a kithat thilong jeng katoh in: khopi sung a kalut leh kel lhah jeh’a, natna leh thina toh mipite kamun. Themgao hole thempuhon atoh ngaiyu atong un, ahinlah amahon ipi abol'u ahi, akihetdoh pouve, “ati.
19 Hast thou utterly cast away Juda, or hath thy soul abhorred Sion? why then hast thou struck us, so that there is no healing for us? we have looked for peace, and there is no good: and for the time of healing, and behold trouble.
Vo Pakai Judah mite na pumpai hitam? Nangman Jerusalem mite nakidah’a nahot tah tah hitam? Ibol a hibang nasa-a neimavouva, keiho dinga boldamna phat umlou hitam? Keihon chamna muding kakinem’un, ahinlah chamna ahunglhung poi. Keihon damna ding nikho kangah un, ahivangin kichat tijatnan eilhunden jouve.
20 We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness, the iniquities of our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
Vo Pakai, keiholeh kapu kapateu chonset gitlouna ho jouse na-ang’ah kahin phonguve. Keiho kabonchauvin, nang dounan ka chonse tauve.
21 Give us not to be a reproach, for thy name’s sake, and do not disgrace in us the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.
Nangma min khohsah jallin, keiho nei paimang hih uvin, Na lengtouna loupitah chu, jabollouvin umsah hih in. Kachunguva nakitepna geldoh jing inlang, sukeh loujen in, Vo Pakai.
22 Are there any among the graven things of the Gentiles that can send rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou the Lord our God, whom we have looked for? for thou hast made all these things.
Doilim semthu namdang ho pathen in go ajuhsah theiyem? Vanthamjol khun ama cham”a go ahin juh lhah sah theiyem? Vo Pakai, nangbou ka pathen’u nahin, thil ijakai bolthei chu nangma bou nahi. Hijeh’a chu keiho nangma-a kinem’a, neikithopinau ngahjing’a um kahiuve.
