Jeremiah 40

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all that were carried away captive of Jerusalem and Judah, which were carried away captive to Babylon.

Babylon gam’a sohchang ding’a, Jerusalem mite leh Judah mite toh thihkhao’a akihen nauva kon’a, in-ngahpa Nebuzaradan in Jeremiah chu Raman kha, alhadoh jou nung chun, Pakai thusei Jeremiah heng’a ahung lhung in,

2 And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said to him, The LORD your God has pronounced this evil on this place.

In-ngah lamkaipan, Jeremiah akouvin ajah’a “Pakai na-Pathen chun, hilaimun douna-a hibang hamsetna ana phondoh bangchun, aguilhun sahtai.

3 Now the LORD has brought it, and done according as he has said: because you have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing is come on you.

Ijeh inem itileh, hiche mite hi, Pakai dounan achonseuvin, chule athusei jong angaipeh pouve. Hiche jeh’a chu achung'uva hibang thilse hi hunglhung ahitai.

4 And now, behold, I loose you this day from the chains which were on your hand. If it seem good to you to come with me into Babylon, come; and I will look well to you: but if it seem ill to you to come with me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land is before you: where it seems good and convenient for you to go, thither go.

Ahin, keiman nakihenne thihkhao nasutpeh ingting, chule kalha-ong ding nahitai. Keitoh kilhon’a, Babylon gam’a cheding pha nasahle, hungin, keiman ijakai navetup nange. Ijemtia hilai mun’a umden ding pha nasah jongle, akhohpoi. Ven, hiche gam leiset pumpi hi na-ang sung’a aum’e, nadei deya nache thei ahi.

5 Now while he was not yet gone back, he said, Go back also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people: or go wherever it seems convenient to you to go. So the captain of the guard gave him victuals and a reward, and let him go.

Hilai mun’a umdending nakigel lhah le, Babylon lengpan Judah gam khopi jouse chung’a vaipo ding’a apansah Ahikam chapa Gedaliah, Shaphan tupa kom’a chekittan. Ama kom’a naum’a chule mipi lah’a nachenthei ahi. Achutilou jongle, nangma nop nop’a na umthei ahitai, ati. Hichun, in-ngah pa Nebuzaradan in, Jeremiah chu nehding themkhat toh sum apen, asoldoh tai.

6 Then went Jeremiah to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and dwelled with him among the people that were left in the land.

Chuin Jeremiah jong Hikam chapa Gedaliah umna Mizpah mun’a achetai. Chukom’a chun, amoh akidalha mi phabep chutoh achengkhom tauve.

7 Now when all the captains of the forces which were in the fields, even they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed to him men, and women, and children, and of the poor of the land, of them that were not carried away captive to Babylon;

Thinglhang lang’a pansa, Judah mite ding’a galbol lamkai ho chun, Judah gamsung’a vaipo dingin Hikam chapa Gedaliah chu, Babylon lengpan apansah in, ama khut’a chun, sohchang’a kikailou dalhah’a um pasal ho, numeiho, chapangho chule avaicha dehset ho jouse chu apeluttai, tithu ajatauvin ahi.

8 Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.

Hijeh chun, Gedaliah toh kimuto dingin amaho chu, Mizpah mun’a acheuvin ahi. Amaho chu: Nathaniah chapa Ismael, Karieh chapa teni Johanan le Jonathan, Tanhumeth chapa Seraiah, Ephai chapate, Ma-acath chapa Jezariah chule amaho noiya um amiteu jouse ahiuve.

9 And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan swore to them and to their men, saying, Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.

Hichun, Gedaliah akihahsel in, ajah uva, Babylon mite chu miphalou ahipouve. Amaho kin bolding chu kicha hih un, gamsung’a cheng uvin lang, Babylon lengpa kin boljeng uvin, hichu nangho dia aphapen hiding ahi, ati.

10 As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, to serve the Chaldeans, which will come to us: but you, gather you wine, and summer fruits, and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that you have taken.

Keivang, nangho jouse thalheng’a, eiho kimupia hungding Babylon mite angsung’a ding dia, Mizpah mun’a kachen ding ahi. Nangho vang, nachenphanau munhoa chun chengden unlang, lengpithei galeh nipilai theiga chule Olive theiga ho kilo khom uvin lang chule bel sung’a kikoitup uvin, ati.

11 Likewise when all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and that were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan;

Hiti chun, Judah mite Moab gam’a, Ammon gam’a, Edom gam’a chule gamdang dang’a thamho chun, Babylon lengpan mi phabep Judah gam’a adalhan, chule gamsung pumpia vaipo ding in Gedaliah apansah’e ti ajatauvin ahi.

12 Even all the Jews returned out of all places where they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits very much.

Hichun, amaho chu akithecheh nau gamho’a kon’in, ahung kile kit uvin, Judah gamsung ahinjon kittauve. Amahon Mizpah kho’a Gedaliah ahung kimupiuvin; chua kon chun, thnglhang gam lang ajon uvin, lengpi theiga leh theiga chom chom ho aloukhom un, amaho ding in tampi akikhol tauvin ahi.

13 Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,

Hiche nung sotlouvin, Kariah chapa Johanan leh galbol lamkai phabep, Mizpah kho’a Gedaliah jeh’a,

14 And said to him, Do you certainly know that Baalis the king of the Ammonites has sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to slay you? But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not.

Amahon Gedaliah jah’a, “Ammon lengpa Boalis in nang that ding in Nathaniah chapa Ismael ahinsol e, ti thuhi, nangman nahetlou ham?” ahung tiuve. Gedaliah chu amaho thusei chu atahsanpoi.

15 Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly saying, Let me go, I pray you, and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it: why should he slay you, that all the Jews which are gathered to you should be scattered, and the remnant in Judah perish?

Hichun Johanan in, atumbeh in Gedaliah akimupin, amatah chu Ismael thatdoh dingin akipedoh in ahi. Aman Gedaliah jah’a “Ibol’a Ismael in nang namoh tha jeng ding ham? Judah mite hijat hung kilekit’a nang nahinbel ho iti ding ham? Dalhah um eiho amoh chengse jonghi, imoh manthah jengdiu ham?” ati.

16 But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Johanan the son of Kareah, You shall not do this thing: for you speak falsely of Ishmael.

Ahivang in Gedaliah in Johanan jah’a “Nasei hi nabollou hel ding ahi. Ajeh chu nangman Ismael chungthu hi, jou nasei ahibouve,” ati.
