Jeremiah 16
1 A message from the Lord that came to me, saying,
Pakaiyin kahenga hitin aseiye,
2 Don't marry or have children here.
“Hilai mun’a hi, nangman ji nakipuilou ding, chuleh chale nao jong naneilou hel ding ahi.
3 This is what the Lord says about children born here, and about their mothers and fathers—their parents here in this country:
Ajeh chu hilaimun’a peng chate holeh apennau anuteu apateu chunga hungsoh ding thu chu, Pakaiyin hitin aseiye.
4 They will die from fatal diseases. No one will mourn for them. Their bodies won't be buried, but will lie on the ground like manure. They will be destroyed by war and famine, and their bodies will be food for birds of prey and wild animals.
Amaho chu natna tijat umtah’a thidiu; Akadiu leh avuidoh diu diu jong umlou ding, athilong u chu leithao kisem banga alhuh lhuh’a kisedui, kijam thang deh diu ahi. Amaho chu, gal’a thiloi, kel’a thiloi umdiu, athisa atahsau chu ju le va ten aneh diu, chule gamsa hon anehdiu ahi.’’
5 This is what the Lord says: Don't enter a home where people are having a funeral meal. Don't visit them to mourn or to offer condolences, for I have taken away my peace, my trustworthy love, and my mercy from these people, declares the Lord.
Chuleh Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Nangma thi-opna leh lunghemna mun’a lutdan, koima jong ga lhaset pih hih in. Ajeh chu keiman hiche mite a kon’a chamna le bitna kalahmangpih ahitai. Keiman kakhotona leh kahepina jong kalahmangpih ahitai.
6 Everyone, from the most important to the least, will die in this country. They will not be buried or mourned; there will be no rites for the dead such as cutting oneself or shaving of heads.
Hiche gamsunga cheng, mihao leh mivai thicheh diu ahi. Amaho chu avuidiu umlou ding chule akapi diu jong umlou hel ding ahi. Koima jong amaho thi dipdamna-a ki-at chen leh asam voutol umlou hel ding ahi.
7 No funeral receptions will be held to comfort those who mourn—not even a comforting drink is to be offered at the loss of a father or mother.
Mithi kapi holeh lunghempi ho dinga neh le don bolpih umlou ding; Anu leh apa thiho jeng jong koiman alhamon louding, akhohsah louhel ding ahi.
8 Don't go into a house where people are celebrating and sit down with them to eat and drink.
Hiche miho toh nekhom donkhom dinga, agolvah nau mun’a navalut louhel ding ahi.
9 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am going to put a stop right here, while you watch, to any sounds of celebration and joy, the happy voices of the groom and bride.
Thaneipen Pakai, Israel Pakai chun hitin aseiye, “Keiman hilai mun’a hi, nangho mitmu tah le nangho nikholai tah’a hiche mite anopsah nau ogin, akipa thanupnau ogin chuleh moulang leh mounu kipa ogin, abon’a kasuh thip hel ding ahi.’’
10 When you explain all this to them they'll ask you, “Why has the Lord ordered that such a terrible disaster should happen to us? What did we do wrong? What sin have we committed against the Lord our God?”
Hicheng hi, amaho naseipeh tengle, amahon nahin dohdiu; Ibol’a Pakaiyin hibang a gimneitah’a eibol’uham? Hichan lom lom a gimbol dinga ipi kasuhkhel u umham? Pakai douna-a kachonset nau ipi lom lom ham? atidiu ahi.
11 Answer them: It's because your forefathers deserted me, declares the Lord. They went and followed other gods, serving them and worshiping them. They abandoned me and didn't keep my laws.
Chutengle nangman amaho jah’a. “Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, napu napateu chun kei eidalhauvin, semthu ho chibai aboh un chule ajenleuvin ahi. Amahon keima donlouvin eikoiyun chule kathupeh jong akhohsah pouve.
12 You however have done even more evil than your forefathers. Look at how all of you followed your own stubborn evil thinking instead of obeying me.
Chule nanghon, napu napateu bol sanga khoh chehjo nabol uva, louchal tah in naum’un chule kathupeh dounan nachontauvin ahi.
13 So I'm going to throw you out of this country and exile you in a country unfamiliar to you and your forefathers. There you'll serve other gods day and night, because I won't help you at all.
Hijeh’a chu, keiman hiche gamsung a kon’a nangho kapaidoh diu, nangho le napu napateuvin ahetkhah louna gam’a kadellut ding nahiuve. Hiche mun’a chu, sun le jan’a nanghon semthu Pathen chibai naboh uva chule najenle diu, keiman nangho kakhoto tah louhel diu nahiuve,’’ ati.
14 But listen! The time is coming, declares the Lord, when people won't any longer make vows, saying. “On the Lord's life, who led the Israelites out of Egypt.”
Pakaiyin aseiye, “Mihon akihahsel nauva, Pakai hingjing Pathen, Israel mite Egypt gam’a kon’a hinpui dohpa, tia aseilou nadin, phat ahung lhung e.
15 Instead they'll say, “On the Lord's life, who led the Israelites back from the northern country and all the other countries where he had exiled them.” I'm going to bring them back to the country I gave their forefathers.
amavang mihon, “Pakai hingjing Pathen, Israel mite sahlam gam’a kon leh akithe chehnau gam chom chom’a kon’a hinpuikhom kitpa, tia aseijoh diu ahitai. Ajeh chu, keiman amaho, hiche apu apateu kanapeh gamsung’a kahin lepuikhom kitdiu ahi.
16 But for the moment I'm going to send for many fishermen and they'll catch them, declares the Lord. Then I'm going to send for many hunters, and they'll hunt them down on every mountain and hill, even from their hiding places in the rocks.
Amavang, keiman ngaman mi tampi kasol in, amahon miho chu ahin matdingu, chule aban'in keiman changvai mi tampi kasol in, amahon mol le lhang jousea, chule songko le kom ho’a kon’a miho aga hol dingu ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
17 I see everything they're doing. They can't hide from me, and their sins aren't hidden from me either.
Ajeh chu, keiman amaho chena lamlhah phaten kavelhi jing in, athemmonau kamusoh keiyin ahi. Keidin akisel aumpon, amaho keiya kon in kiselmang thei pouvinte.
18 First I'm going to pay them back double for their wickedness and sin, because they have made my land unclean with the lifeless bodies of their disgusting idols, filling my special country with their offensive pagan images.
Hijeh’a chu keiman, achunguva achonset nau lethuhna ajatnia kakalsah ding ahi. Ijeh inem itileh, amahon gamsung dimset in hinna neilou lim semthu Pathen tampi akoiyun, chule achongitlou nau jong gamsung apumdimtan ahi.
19 Lord, you are my strength and my fortress, my safe place in the time of trouble. Nations will come to you from all over the earth, and they will say, “The religion of our forefathers was a total lie! The idols they worshiped were useless—no good at all.
O Pakai, nangma kahatna leh kakulpi nahin, hahsat genthei nikho’a kakiselna nahi. Leiset kol kimvel’a namtin vaipi naheng’a hung uvintin, hitia aseidiu ahi. “Kapu kapateuvin ahomkeo leh ngol thubuh thu jengin ipuiyun, pannabei doilim semthu ho anahouvun ahi.
20 How can people make gods for themselves? These aren't gods!”
Mihem in ama dinga pathen akisemthu thei am? Hitobang kisemthu ho chu Pathen dih ahipoi.
21 Now they'll see! I'll show them, and then they'll recognize my power and strength. Then they'll know that I am the Lord!
Hijeh chun vetan, keiman amaho chu kathahat kavetsah ding, chule keiman kathuneina jong kahetsah ding ahi. Chutengle amahon, “Keima Pakai kahi’’ ti ahet uva chule amuchet diu ahi.
