< Jeremiah 13 >

1 Thus said the LORD unto me: 'Go, and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water.'
Pakaiyin kaheng’a hitin aseiye, “Chen lang taigah pon, tupat ponnem khat gachon lang, kigah in. Chule hichu twiya nasoplou ding ahi,” ati.
2 So I got a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put it upon my loins.
Hijeh chun, Pakaiyin athusah dungjuiyin, kenjong taigah pon kagachon kakigahtai.
3 And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying:
Chujouvin Pakaiyin kahenga thu ahinseikit in,
4 'Take the girdle that thou hast gotten, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Perath, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.'
Nataigah pon chu kichoiyin lang, Ephrates vadung a chen. Chukom’a songpi khikah’a chun nathil chu gaselmang tan ati.
5 So I went, and hid it in Perath, as the LORD commanded me.
Hichun keiman, Pakai thupeh dungjuijin Ephrates vadunga kachen, kagasel mangtai.
6 And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said unto me: 'Arise, go to Perath, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there.'
Chujou, nikho tamtah jouvin, Pakaiyin kahenga thu ahinseikit in, “Ephrates vadunga chekit inlang na taigah pon kaselmang sah chu, gakilah kittan,” ati.
7 Then I went to Perath, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it; and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.
Chuin keima Ephrates vadunga kachen, taigah pon kasel chu kagakhot doh kittai. Amavang, hiche taigah pon chu, amon in anase gam heltai. Taigah pon chu, imacha-a apanna ding aumtapoi.
8 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Chuin Pakaiya konin, kahenga thu ahunglhungin,
9 Thus saith the LORD: After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem,
“Hiche hi Pakai kamsoh chu ahi, keiman Judah leh Jerusalem mite kithang-at nachu, hitobanga hi kasuhset pihding ahi.”
10 even this evil people, that refuse to hear My words, that walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and are gone after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, that it be as this girdle, which is profitable for nothing.
Hiche migiloute hin, kathusei angaipouvin, louchal tah in achon un, ama ama cheh lung ngaichat abol'un, chule semthu pathen ahouvun ahi. Hijeh’a chu, amahohi taigah pon banga chu, phatchomna beihel ahitauve.
11 For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto Me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD, that they might be unto Me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory; but they would not hearken.
Ijeh inem itileh, taigah pon mihem taibuh a akiveiden banga, Judah leh Israel mite chu, keima chunga kiveiden jeng dinga kasem ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye. Hitia chu, amaho kamite hiuva, keidinga loupina leh eikivahchoina thei hidiu ahin; Hinlah amahon kathusei angaidehji pouvin ahi.
12 Moreover thou shalt speak unto them this word: Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: 'Every bottle is filled with wine'; and when they shall say unto thee: 'Do we not know that every bottle is filled with wine?'
Hiche thuhi nangman amaho hetsah in, Pakai Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye, “Hai jousea lengpitwi nathaldim soh keidiu ahi,” ati. Chutengle amahon najah’a, “Hai jousea lengpitwi thaldim sohkei ding chu, keihon kahetlouvu ham? “atidiu ahi.
13 Then shalt thou say unto them: Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit upon David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
Chutengle nangin amaho jah’a, Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, tin. “Ven hiche gamsung mite jouse: David laltouna-a tou lengho a pat thempuho, chule themgao ho, chule Jerusalem a chengho jouse, abonuva khamnathei gu-twi ka donkhamsah soh hel dingu ahi.
14 And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD; I will not pity, nor spare, nor have compassion, that I should not destroy them.
Keiman amaho, khat le khat katato ding, mipate le chapate jong katato ding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye. Hitia chu, amaho suhmang louna dinga, achunguva hepina le lainatsah pihna, kaneilou hel ding ahi, ati.
15 Hear ye, and give ear, be not proud; for the LORD hath spoken.
Thu kasei ngaiyun lang, nanakhang’u hindo cheh’un. Kiletsah hoitho bol hih un. Ajeh chu Pakaiyin thu aseitai.
16 Give glory to the LORD your God, before it grow dark, and before your feet stumble upon the mountains of twilight, and, while ye look for light, He turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.
Phat ageisang masang in, Pakai na Pathen chu loupi sah un. Aman muthim ahin lhunsah masang, molsang laiya nakipal lhuh masang. Muthim lhangkhal gimneitah akiheh sah’a, khovah ngaicha geova naum masangun.
17 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret for your pride; and mine eyes shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD'S flock is carried away captive.
Nanghon hichea jong, Pakai thusei nangailou uleh, nakiletsah hoitho jal uva, keima kachanga kaka ding ahi. Keima mitlhi long chut chut a kaka ding; Ajeh chu Pakai mite abonchauva sohchanga kikaimang diu ahitai.
18 Say thou unto the king and to the queen-mother: 'Sit ye down low; for your headtires are come down, even your beautiful crown.'
Lengpa leh lengnu kom’a seipih un. “Na laltouna’a kon in hung kumlha lhon in, tollhanga toulhon in. Ajeh chu, na loupina lallukhuh chu nalua kon’a kilamang ding ahitai,” ati.
19 The cities of the South are shut up, and there is none to open them; Judah is carried away captive all of it; it is wholly carried away captive.
Negev gam’a khopi jouse kot akikhah sohtan, koima ahongdoh ding aumpoi. Judah mite jouse sohchanga kikaimang ta, Chuleh gamsung mijouse sohchanga kikaimang ahitauve.
20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north; where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock?
khodah in lang vetem un, sahlam gam’a kon’a hung kitolsuh galmi ho khu. Nangma nakipesa, na kelngoi hon ho chu, hoiya um hitam?
21 What wilt thou say, when He shall set the friends over thee as head, whom thou thyself hast trained against thee? Shall not pangs take hold of thee, as of a woman in travail?
Nangin gollepai dia nakisemsa ho chu, Pakaiyin nangma chunga vaihom’a apansah tengle, nangin ipi nasei ding ham? Numei naoso nat banga, nang dinga natna nasatah hiding ahi.
22 And if thou say in thy heart: 'Wherefore are these things befallen me?' — for the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts uncovered, and thy heels suffer violence.
Nangman na lung sunga, ipi dia thil hicheng pihi kachunga hunglhung ham, tia nakidoh nomleh: Hichehi, na chonset alet behseh jeh ahi. Hijeh’a chu na ponsil jouse kibottel’a, hesoh genthei nasatah nathoh ahiye.
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
Ven, Ethiopia min avun avouso akhel thei am? Chule lutnun achunga ajem-pol ho akheldoh thei ham? Achuti theile, thilse bolgunset nanghon jong thilpha nabol theidiu ahi.
24 Therefore will I scatter them, as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.
“Keiman nangho nabonchauva, nelgam huipin changvai amut mang banga kalecheh ding nahiuve.
25 This is thy lot, the portion measured unto thee from Me, saith the LORD; because thou hast forgotten Me, and trusted in falsehood.
Hichehi nangma chandol ahin, keiman nang dinga tedohsa-a kakoi ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye. Ajeh chu, nangman keima neisumiltan, jouva kisemdoh pathen ho chu na tahsan tai.
26 Therefore will I also uncover thy skirts upon thy face, and thy shame shall appear.
Hijeh’a chu, keima mong mong in na ponsil kahodoh peh’a, najamo geiya kimu ding ahiye.
27 Thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy harlotry, on the hills in the field have I seen thy detestable acts. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! thou wilt not be made clean! When shall it ever be?
Keiman, nathilbol thet umtah ho, mito najon thanhoina, kidah umtah nachonna ho, Chule loujao tinleh thinglhang’a doilim semthu nahouna, kamusoh keiyin ahi. Ohe ada nahi, Vo Jerusalem! Na kisuhthengna dinga phat itihchan lutding ham? “ati.
