< Jeremiah 50 >

1 THE word that the Lord spake against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.
Chaldea gam Babylon thudol, Pakaiyin Jeremiah themgao henga hiti hin thu aseiyin ahi.
2 Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.
“Namtin chunga phongjal un seichoi jun, ponlap khaisang un chule akisel guh beijin samphong un; ajeh chu Babylon chu akijousoh hel in, Bel in jumna atoh in chule Marduk alung lhada lheh jeng tai. Khopi sung milim semthu ho abonchan akithe cheh gamtan, pathen lim semthu jouse jong pannabei asohgam tai,” tin seiyun.
3 For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.
“Ijeh-inem itileh khopi toh kidou din sahlam gamkaiya pat nam mite khat ahung tauvin, hiche nam mite chun agam sung pumpi asuh manghel diu; avel’a koima kilah kit talou ding ahi. Chule mihem ahin, gamsa jeng jong anitah a jam mang ding ahi.”
4 In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the Lord their God.
Pakaiyin hiti hin aseiye, “Hiche nikho leh phatlai hin Israel chate ahin, Judah chate in lam jon’a hung kile diu ahi. Kap pum pum’a hung diu, Pakai Pathen ahin hol diu ahi.”
5 They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the Lord in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.
Chuteng amahon Zion jotna lampi mi ahin doh diu, hiche lam chu ahin ngaidiu, “Hung un a-itih a isuhmil lou diu le atonsot’a kinepna chu Pakai henga eima cheh’in kitepna sem u-hite,” tia asei diu ahi.
6 My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.
“Chule keima mite chu kelngoi vah-mangsa ahiuve, kelngoi chin’a ching hochun amaho ana puimang gam tauvin ahi. Molchung holah’a ana hoidoh un, molchunga pat’in thinglhang lam jon in acheu vin, hiti chun abitnau asumil gam-tauve.”
7 All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the Lord, the habitation of justice, even the Lord, the hope of their fathers.
Chuin amaho toh-kha chan chun asugep hel ji tauvin, amaho douva pang hon jong aseiyun, “Eiho themmona aum poi, ijeh-inem itileh a-Pakaiyu, achennau dihtah Pakai, apu apateu khanga pat akinep nau dounan chonset abol’un ahi,” atiuve.
8 Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.
“Hijeh chun Babylon khopi sunga kon’in jamdoh tauvin, chule Chaldea mite henga kon’in chedoh tauvin; kelngoi hon lah’a kelchal ho tobang'in um uvin.
9 For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.
Ajeh chu keiman Babylon dounan sahlam gamkaiya pat’in nam gim neitah khat kahin sol luttai, amaho hiche khopi douna dinga chu hung kigong diu, chuteng akhopi alah diu ahi. Athal chang’u jong khutgoh keuva kile lou gal-hang tah jeng ahiuve.
10 And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the Lord.
Pakaiyin, “Chaldea mite jong abonchauva kiman soh keiya, chuteng amaho mangam’a pangho haodoh soh kei diu ahi,” tin aseiye.
11 Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;
“Chule nangho nakipa diu naki choisang diu ahi. Hinlah kagoulo ho mangam’a pang holeh hamhing lah’a chom lele ho; sakol til-lah lou tobang'in peng peng jong leu chun,
12 Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
na chunnu uchun gimnei tah’a jumna ato ding, nahing nu uchu vetdana chang tei ding ahitai. Ven, hiche nu hi nam jouse lah’a anu-khah pen’a pang ding; gamthip lah’a neldi gam tobangbep hiding ahi.
13 Because of the wrath of the Lord it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
Ajeh chu Pakai lunghanna jeh’a hiche mun chu chenna soh talou ding, imacha umlou akeo hiding; Babylon jon jouse dinga kichat tijatna hita ding, akhopi sung kisuhsetna jouse kidah soh ding ahi.
14 Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the Lord.
Hijeh chun Babylon khopi sat dinga kigo jouse, thalpi kamsa kichoi jouse kivon cheh un chule umkimvel tauvin; ijeh-inem itileh hiche khopi hi Pakai doumah bol’in achonse lheh jeng tai.
15 Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the Lord: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her.
Khopi kimvel’a lhangsam cheh’un, khopi ama chamtah in alhu pan tan; pal kikai jouse jong achimsoh in, pal jouse akisuchim soh heltan ahi. Ajeh chu hitobang thilsoh hi Pakai phulah ahin, hiche khopi chunga hi phu-alah ahitai. Khopi ana chonna banga achunga abol tauvin ahi.
16 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.
Chule Babylon khopia muchi tua pangpa chu that uvin, chang-at laiya koite kichoipa jong that uvin, mi sugentheija pang chemjam hem choipa jal chun, mijouse amite lam’a chekit ding ahi; chule min ama ama gamsung cheh adel’a jam lut cheh ding ahi.
17 Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.
Ijeh-inem itileh “Israel chu kelngoi kidel jam banga, keipi bahkai ten adel mangsa ahibouve. Amasa chun Assyria lengpan ana man tauvin, chule tunvang Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar in agu achang geiyin asuhchip peh tan ahi.”
18 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
Hatchungnung Pakai, Israel Pathen in, “Ven, Keiman Assyria lengpa chunga gimna kapeh bang in, Babylon lengpa chunga jong gimna kalhunsah in ahi,” ati.
19 And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim and Gilead.
“Chule keiman Israel chu ama in leh gamsunga kahin lepui ding, Carmel le Bashan a kivah vadiu; chuteng Ephraim le Gilead thinglhang gam sunga avel’a kivahva diu ahi.
20 In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.
Hiche nikho tengleh chun, Israel sunga themmona kikhol ding, ahivanga kikholdoh deh deh lou ding; chule Judah sunga jong chonsetna kikhol ding, ahivanga khatcha kikhol doh louhel ding ahi. Ajeh chu keiman amoh chengse avaldoh ho chunga ngaidamna kanei ahitai.
21 Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly destroy after them, saith the Lord, and do according to all that I have commanded thee.
“Kagal hang ho, Merathaim le Pekod dounan agam sunga chetou tauvin; abonchauvin that gam uvin chule sumang hel uvin, tin Pakaiyin aseiyin hiche hi keima thupeh ahi.
22 A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.
Gamsung pumpia gal kisat ogin akijan, manthahna ogin gimneitah chu akithong lha jeng tai!
23 How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
I-atileh leiset pumpi khetbuh’a pang Babylon kisat lhua kichil thang jeng hitam! Itidan’a Babylon hi nam jouse lah’a kidah chang jeng hitam!
24 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the Lord.
O Babylon, thang kakampeh achun na oh-tai; hinlah naki hetdoh hih laiye, nangma holdoh in naum in nakiman chah kheh tai; ajeh chu Pakai dounan nachonval tai.
25 The Lord hath opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the Lord God of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans.
Chuin Pakaiyin agal manchah koina ahong doh in, alunghanna machah jouse ahin podoh tai; ijeh-inem itileh Pakai hatchungnung Pathen in Chaldea mite gam sunga natoh ding khat aneiye.
26 Come against her from the utmost border, open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left.
Henge, gam kimvel’a kon in hiche gam toh kidou din hung kon tauvin; achangsal jouse hong un, chang kisi vum tobang'in sivum unlang manthah sah jeng uvin, ama thi le lo ima kheng hih hel un.
27 Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation.
Abongchal jouse sat lih un, abonchan athina diumun jotsah cheh un; ada tangei-yuve, ijeh-inem itileh ahinkhou achaina ahung lhunge. Gimna atodiu phat chu hunglhung ahitai.
28 The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God, the vengeance of his temple.
Miho ogin khu ngaiyin, Babylon gamsunga kon in Zion Pakai, i-Pathen uvin phu alah nakhu, ahouin dinga phu alahna phondohnan ajam cheh tauvin; atol manghel tauve.
29 Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel.
Thalpi kamsaa kichoi holeh thal them ho abonchauvin Babylon toh kisat din koudoh tan. Hiche khopi kimvel’a khun ngahmun semsoh keiyun, mihem kiti khat jengcha jong naso chat sah louhel diu ahi. Khopi’n na atoh dungjuiya lethuhna nachan sah diu, anatoh athilbol banga amachunga jong nabol diu ahi; ajeh chu Pakai, Israel Mithengpa chu kisatpi ding in anachoudoh tai.
30 Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the Lord.
Hijeh chun Pakaiyin aseiyin, “Akhopi sunga gollhang ho kijam chap diu, chule hiche nikho mama’a hi akhopi sunga sepai jouse jong kisumang hel ding ahi.
31 Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the Lord God of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee.
“Vetan, nangma kieltsahna dim keima toh kidou nahi, tin Pakai hatchungnung Pathen in aseiye; ijeh-inem itileh nangma nikho ahung lhung tai—hiche nikhoa hi keiman gimna kapeh ding nahi.
32 And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.
O gamsung kiletsahna dim, nangma nakipal lhuh a, naki balhuh tei ding, koima naphongdoh ding um tapon te. Keiman khopi pumpia mei kakousah ding, chuteng akimvel’a umjouse meikong in aliu-gamkei ding ahi.
33 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.
Hatchungnung Pakaiyin hiti hin aseiye, “Israel mite leh Judah mite chunga gim le hesoh in akiumsah in, amaho soh chansah hon lahdoh ding gel phalou vin, naatuh chah jing uvin ahi.
34 Their Redeemer is strong; the Lord of hosts is his name: he shall throughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
Hinlah amaho lhatdampu chu athahat in, hatchungnung Pakai kiti hi ama min ahi. Amachun amaho khotona thudol ahinsei ding, chule Israel akichol damsah kit ding; amavang Babylon mite choldona apeh lou ding ahi.
35 A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the Lord, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.
Pakaiyin hiti hin aseiyin, “Chaldea mite, Babylon khopi sunga chengte, aleng chapate chule ami-chingte chunga gimna chemjam achuhsah tai.
36 A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.
Ami-chingte, angolna diuvin achung'uva chemjam ahung chutan, akisuh manghel nadiuvin; akhopi sunga gal hang ho chunga chemjam achutan ahi!
37 A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed.
Akhopi sunga sakol ho, akang-talai ho, chule akhopi dunga gamdang sepai hon jong numei lungput aputna diuvin, achung uvah chemjam achutai! Akisuh manghelna diuvin, khopi sunga thil khol khomna jouse chunga jong chemjam achutan ahi.
38 A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols.
Akhopi sunga twi jouse akan-helna din go aju tapon, ajeh chu agam hi milim semthu gam jeng ahin, amaho jeng jong pathen lim semthua ngol ahitauve.
39 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
Hijeh’a chu Babylon khopi sunga hi chomlou kah’a gamsa holeh kamkei ho hung cheng lut diu, chule akhosung chu simbu ho chenna hung hi ding; akhopi sunga chu mihem kiti cheng kit talou ding, hichu akhang akhanga chenna hita lou ding ahi.
40 As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the Lord; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.
Sodom le Gomorrah banga akhopi sung leh akimvel’a khopi jouse kasuh manghel ding, hiche mun’a chu mihem koimacha hung cheng kit talou ding chule mihem koimacha akhosunga hung kholjin kitta louhel ding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
41 Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
Vetan! Sahlam gamkaiya kon’in sepai hattah ahung kon tai. Nam hattah le leng tampi, gamlha tah’a kon’in ahung tauve.
42 They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not shew mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
Abonchauva thalpi le tengcha toh hungkon ahiuvin, gilou tah le hepina beihel jeng ahiuve. Agol gin dan’u jong twikhanglen gintoh akilou vin, abonchauva sakol chunga tou jeng ahiuve; Nangma Babylon dou dinga galvon lhingsel’a kivon soh ahitauve.
43 The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail.
Hiti chun, “Babylon lengpan jong athu kithan dol-u ajasoh tai! Akhut teni angoi lha jeng in, numei naoso natpat tobang'in gim hesohna chun ahin phatai.
44 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?
Vetan! Keima Jordan gammang lah’a kon kelngoi hong umna nokhum dinga hung kon keipi bahkai banga, abonchauva akhopi sunga kon hetman louhel’a a kadel mang jeng ding, chujou tengleh keiman kadeisah dungjuiya khopi vaihom kakoi ding ahi. Ijeh-inem itileh keitobang koi um'em chule koiham keima eiki dinte pi ding? Koi vaihom thunei hijongleh kamasanga pang jou ding chu koi ham?
45 Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.
Hijeh chun Pakaiyin Babylon dounaa athil-gon hi phaten ngai phauvin, kelngoi hon lah’a aneopen geiya kaimanga um ding; achennau in jouse jong kisumang hel ding ahi.
46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.
Babylon kimat gin husan chu leiset pumpi o-thong jejua kithing liu ding, chule akagin chu vannoi leiset pumpia kithong lha ding ahi,” ati.
