< Jeremiah 1 >

1 The wordes of Ieremiah the sonne of Hilkiah one of the Priests that were at Anathoth in the lande of Beniamin.
Hiche hi, Benjamin gamsunga Anathoth khomi Hilikiah thempu chapa Jeremiah thusei ho ahi.
2 To whom the worde of the Lord came in the dayes of Iosiah the sonne of Amon King of Iudah in the thirteenth yeere of his reigne:
Judah lengpa Amon chapa Josiah lengvaipoh kum somthum leh thum lhin kum in, Pakai thusei chu Jeremiah henga ahung lhungtan ahi.
3 And also in the dayes of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah vnto the ende of the eleuenth yeere of Zedekiah, the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah, euen vnto the carying away of Ierusalem captiue in the fift moneth.
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 Then the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Hiti chun Pakai thusei chu kaheng ahunglhung tan ahi.
5 Before I formed thee in the wombe, I knewe thee, and before thou camest out of the wombe, I sanctified thee, and ordeined thee to be a Prophet vnto 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 Then said I, Oh, Lord God, behold, I can not speake, for I am a childe.
Chuphat in kenjong, “Vo thaneipen Pakai, keima kachapang behseh jeng in, Nang’a dingin ima seidoh thei ponge,’’ kati.
7 But the Lord said vnto me, Say not, I am a childe: for thou shalt goe to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoeuer I command thee, shalt thou speake.
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 afraide of their faces: for I am with thee to deliuer thee, saith the Lord.
Amaho chu kicha hih in, Ajeh chu keiman nangma kaumpi jengding, chuleh kahuh doh jing ding nahi,’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
9 Then the Lord stretched out his hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said vnto me, Beholde, I haue put my wordes in thy mouth.
Hichun Pakaiyin akhut ahinlhang in, kakamsung ahin khoiyin, kajah’a aseitai, “Vetan, keiman kathu ho, nakam sunga kakoipeh tai.
10 Beholde, this day haue I set thee ouer the nations and ouer the kingdomes to plucke vp, and to roote out, and to destroye and throwe downe, to builde, 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 After this the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying, Ieremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almonde tree.
Chuin Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Jeremiah ven, ipi namum?” ati. Keiman kadonbut in, “Jon-mot thingbah khat kamui,” kati.
12 Then saide the Lord vnto me, Thou hast seene aright: for I will hasten my worde to performe it.
Hichun Pakaiyin kajah’a, “Adih’e, hichu keiman nangma kavelhi jingin, chuleh kathil gonsa banga kaboltei ding ahi,” ati.
13 Againe the worde of the Lord came vnto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I saide, I see a seething pot looking out of 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 Then saide the Lord vnto me, Out of the North shall a plague be spred vpon 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 loe, I will call all the families of the kingdomes of the North, saith the Lord, and they shall come, and euery one shall set his throne in the entring of the gates of Ierusalem, and on all the walles thereof rounde about, and in all the cities of Iudah.
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 declare vnto them my iudgements touching all the wickednesse of them that haue forsaken me, and haue burnt incense vnto other gods, and worshipped the workes of their owne handes.
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 trusse vp thy loynes, and arise and speake vnto them all that I commaund thee: be not afraide of their faces, lest I destroy thee 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 For I, beholde, I this day haue made thee a defenced citie, and an yron pillar and walles of brasse against the whole lande, against the Kings of Iudah, and against the princes thereof, against the Priestes thereof and against the people of the lande.
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 For they shall fight against thee, but they shall not preuaile against thee: for I am with thee to deliuer thee, sayth the Lord.
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.
