Jeremiah 10
1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel;
Vo Israel Insung, naheng’a Pakai thusei hi ngaiyuvin!
2 thus saith the LORD: Learn not the way of the nations, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the nations are dismayed at them.
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Namtin vaipi ho chonna bangin, vanthangjol’a melchihna chom chom ho jeh in, khonung thua nangho lungthoi hih`un. Amaho jeh chun namtin vaipi tija jongleh, nangho vang kicha hih`un.
3 For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for it is but a tree which one cutteth out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe.
Ajeh chu, amaho chonna lamlheh jouse chu, thujou leh ngolna thu jeng ahi: Amahon gamlah’a thingphung ho aphuhlhu uvin, hichea chu thingthem bolpan, semthu pathen lim asemdoh ji ahi.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold, they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
Hichu, sana leh dangka in atomjol un, thingkil in akilun, sehcha’n akhendet un, akitoldoh louna diu asemjiuve.
5 They are like a pillar in a garden of cucumbers, and speak not; they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good.
Amahon asemthu-u pathen limho chu, paotheilou leh chattheilou ahin, loulaiya vachate kichat dinga kisemthu milim ho bep ahiuvin, doplea choile ding bep ahiuve, Hitobang semthu pathen ho chu kicha hih un, amaho chun, nachung a thilse jong chuleh thilpha jong abolthei pouve” ati
6 There is none like unto Thee, O LORD; Thou art great, and Thy name is great in might.
Vo Pakai hatchungnung, nangtoh kibang koima aumpoi. Nangma loupitah leh lentah nahin, namin jong thaneitah ahi.
7 Who would not fear Thee, O king of the nations? For it befitteth Thee; forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royalty, there is none like unto Thee.
Nangma namtin vaipi chunga leng nahin, nang changing bou ahi. Ajeh chu, leiset chung a miching jouse leh lenggam jouse lah’a, nangtoh kibang aumpoi.
8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the vanities by which they are instructed are but a stock;
Semthu doilim houhohi, angol leh atanang jeng ahiuve. Amahon kichatah’a ajen uva ahouvuchu, thing’a kon’a kisem thu ahibouve.
9 Silver beaten into plates which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the craftsman and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple is their clothing; they are all the work of skilful men.
Amahon Tarshish a konin dangka kikhengtohsa chuleh Uphaz a konin sana ahinpodoh uvin; Hichehoa kon chun, khutthem mihon, semthu pathen lim semdoh un, chujouteng, ponkhui themhon hiche ho chu, ponsandup leh pondum in atomjolsel uvin ahi.
10 But the LORD God is the true God, He is the living God, and the everlasting King; at His wrath the earth trembleth, and the nations are not able to abide His indignation.
Ahinlah, Pakai chu amabou Pathen dihtah ahijing e. Ama chu hingjing Pathen ahin, tonsot lengpa ahi. Alunghan in van leh leiset akithinsah in, namtin vaipin alungsat adoujoupoi.
11 Thus shall ye say unto them: 'The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.'
Hichehi semthu Pathen lim houho heng a seipehun, “Nanghon nahouvu, van le leiset ‘a kon’a mangthah gamdiu ahi, tipeh’un,’’ ati:
12 He that hath made the earth by His power, that hath established the world by His wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by His understanding;
Pakaiyin athahat in leiset asemdoh in, achihnan leiset atungdet e. Chule athil hetkhen themnan vanthamjol hi, pon bangin aphou jahe.
13 At the sound of His giving a multitude of waters in the heavens, when He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; when He maketh lightnings with the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of His treasuries;
Ama thusah in vanthamjol gin akithongin chule go ajujin; Aman leiset chunga konin meibol ho akaithou sahjin ahi. Aman gotwi ajuhlhah sahjin, kolphe avahsahjin, Chule khopi hui jong akholna-a konin aladohjui ahi.
14 Every man is proved to be brutish, without knowledge, every goldsmith is put to shame by the graven image, his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
Mijouse hi hetna beiyin tanang in aum’uve. Khut themtah’a thil semdoh ho jong, asemthu-u milim ho chun ajumsah gam’u ahitai. Ajeh chu, asemdoh hou chu abon’a alem’a kisemdoh chule haina hu neilou jeng ahiuve.
15 They are vanity, a work of delusion; in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Hiche semthu doilim ho chu, abon’a pannabei leh alem jong ahiuve. Amaho chu, Pakai nikho ahunglhun teng, Kisumang soh hel dingu ahi.
16 Not like these is the portion of Jacob; for He is the former of all things, and Israel is the tribe of His inheritance; the LORD of hosts is His name.
Ahivangin, Israel Pathen chu, amaho tobang’a semthu ahipoi. Ama chu imajouse semdohpa Pathen dihtah chu ahin; Israel jeng jong, ama goulo dinga akilhendoh ahin, Ama min chu thaneipen Pakai ahi.
17 Gather up thy wares from the ground, O thou that abidest in the siege.
Naponvai kichuntup un, khopi dalha dingin kigosan um un, gal miten naumkimsoh’u ahitai.
18 For thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel it.
Ijeh inem itileh Pakaiyin hitin aseiye. “Photlot changa, hiche gamsunga chengho nabonuva, kasepdoh ding nahiuve. Keiman nachunguva gim gentheina nasatah kabuh lhah ding, chuleh nanghon kalungsatna natokhah teidiu ahi,”ati.
19 Woe is me for my hurt! My wound is grievous; but I said: 'This is but a sickness, and I must bear it.'
Kaki suhkhahna maha anase behseh in, kathoh gimna jong ahahsa valtai. Kanatna jong adamthei louding ahitan, hijongle engbolna kato ahijeh'in, kathoh doh ding ahi, kati.
20 My tent is spoiled, and all my cords are broken; my children are gone forth of me, and they are not; there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
Ka-in jong akisusen, eikithopia eisoldoh pih ding mi koima aumpoi. Kachate jong eilah peh uvin, keiman avel’a amaho chu kamukit louding ahitai.
21 For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not inquired of the LORD; therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered.
Kamite, kelngoi chinga pangho, alung chavai leh atanang jeng ahiuvin: Ajeh chu, amahon Pakaiya hungkon chihna ahol tapouve. Hitijeh chun, abolna lam jouseuva alosam’un, chuleh achin’u kelngoi hon ho jong avahcheh gamtauvin ahi.
22 Hark! a report, behold, it cometh, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, a dwelling-place of jackals.
Ngaiyun, gin umtah gal miho ogin kithong jeju pumin, sahlam’a konin ahung kitolsuh uve. Amahon Judate khopi jouse alonkhumuva asuhmangdiu, khogem nung’a ngei-hon te kokhuh asosah diu ahi.
23 O LORD, I know that man's way is not his own; it is not in man to direct his steps as he walketh.
O Pakai keiman kahet Kahinkhohi keima thua um ahipon, chuleh kakalse nading leh kam'a lamjot nading jong, keima sunga um ahipoi.
24 O LORD, correct me, but in measure; not in Thine anger, lest Thou diminish me.
Hijeh chun Vo Pakai, keima neisudih tan, Na lunghan hu-in vang neibol hih in, keiman kadoujou louhel ding ahi.
25 Pour out Thy wrath upon the nations that know Thee not, and upon the families that call not on Thy name; for they have devoured Jacob, yea, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.
Nalungsat chu, nangma hephalou namtin vaipi ho chunga bunglhan. Chule nangma minphah nomlou mite chunga bunglhan. Ajeh chu amahon Israel insung abahgamun, anechai hel tauve. Chuleh agamsungu jong ahomkeovin aumsah tauvin ahi.
