Jeremiah 6
1 O YE children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Beth-haccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction.
Vo Benjamin chate, nahindohna diuvin jamun, Jerusalema kon in jamdoh’un! Tekoa mun’a sumkon mutuvin lang, Beth-hakkerem mun’a melchihna ponlap khaidoh un. Ajeh chu sahlam gam’a konin melma thahhattah ahungin, ama chu manthahna nasatah toh ahung kitollut e.
2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman.
Vo Jerusalem, kachanu melhoitah nahi. Hijongleh keiman nang kasuhmang ding nahi.
3 The shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place.
Kelngoi chinghon khopi pam kim’a ponbuh akison bangun, nagalmiten khopi kimvela pansauva nachenkhum diu ahi. Amahon ama deina cheh mun’a panmun akisemdiu ahi.
4 Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
Amahon asam’un,”galsat din kigongun, sunkim tahleh idelkhum diu ahi.” Atiuve. Ahinlah, ahipoi ageibehseh tai, nisa lhumkon ahin, kho thimding ahitai.
5 Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces.
Jan tengleh delkhumjo taute. Chuteng leng inpi jouse isuh chimdiu ahi,” atiuve.
6 For thus hath the Lord of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.
Ajeh chu Pakai van Pathen in hitin aseiye: Thingphung ho chu phuhlhuvin lang, galdouna pal sem un. Jerusalem kulpi douna gal-pal sep sanguvin. Hiche khopi hi agilou behseh tauve, talen kamatsah ding ahi,” ati.
7 As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds.
Ama nun twisamphunga twi hung putdoh bangin, gitlouna ho athethang jenge. Akhopi sung jouse jong pumhat leh manthahna adimin. Amanu kimavo naleh athohna ho keiman kamu jing e.
8 Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.
Vo Jerusalem, ka gihsalna hi ngaiyin! Achutilouleh keiman nangma ahomkeuva kadalhah ding nahi. Phaten ngaijin, keiman nangma kho-gemsa kasosah’a chuleh mihem koima chennalou gam kasosah ding nahi,” ati.
9 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, They shall throughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets.
Pakai Van Pathen in hitin aseiye, Lengpiga atkhompan ahaimila anuseho, avela aphung tilchen’a ahung lokhom soh kit banga, Israelte amoh chengse jong chu avela kichomdoh soh kitdiu ahi, ati.
10 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the Lord is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.
Keiman koi kom’a gihsalna thu kaseiya, Chuleh koiham kathusei ngaiding? Abil u abonin akisingtan, amahon kho ajatapouve. Amahon Pakai thusei adouvun, chuleh Pakai thu ajuipouve.
11 Therefore I am full of the fury of the Lord; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.
Hitijeh chun Pakai lunghanna chu kasunga tun adimtai. Hiche kakhol khol hi kacholtai. “ka lunghanna hi keiman khopi sunga kichem chapangho chunga, khangdong kikhom ho chunga, ajipa leh ajinu chunga, chuleh upa ho leh tehseho chunga kasun lhah ding ahi.
12 And their houses shall be turned unto others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord.
A-in hou, alou hou chuleh ajinuteu jouse, abon’a melmate khut’a kapih doh ding ahi. Ajeh chu keiman hiche mite chunga hi kakhuttum kalha ding ahi,” tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
13 For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
Ajeh chu aneopen’a pat alenpen geiyin, amitakip in lamdih louva phatchomna aholtauve. Themgaoho leh thempuho geiyin jou le nal in thil aboltauvin ahi.
14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
Amahon kamite chunga maha ho chu imalou tah in ajenpih un. Amahon chamna bon umlouva, ima aboi aumpoi, aphasoh keiye, atiuve.
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the Lord.
Amahon kidah um tahtah ho aboldoh tenguleh, jachatna aneilouvu ham? Ajahcha naisaipouve, jum leja helouhel mite ahiuve. Amaho hi alhusa hotoh kijamtha diu ahi. Keiman amaho talen kamatsah tengleh, abonuva kichaihel diu ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
16 Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Lamsom dunga dinguvin lang nakimvelu veuvin. Lamlui apha, Pathen lampi chu hol uvin, hichea chun cheuvin. Hiche lampi chu juiyun, Chutileh nalungthim kicholding ahi. Ahivangin nanghon hiche lampi chu juipou vinge, natiuve.
17 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.
Keiman nachunguva nangahtup diu kakoiyin: Aman najahuva, sumkon gin phaten ngaiyun’ ati. Ahivangin nanghon, ngainahsah in nakoipouve’ ati.
18 Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.
Hijeh chun, namtin vaipin hichehi ngaiyun, kamite chunga thil hunglhung ding khu hecheh un.
19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.
Leiset pumpin ngaiuvin! Keiman hiche mite chunga manthahna kahinlhut ding ahi. Hiche amaho agitlounau tohga hiding ahi. Ajeh chu amahon kathusei angaipouvin chuleh kathupeh adonpouve.
20 To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me.
Sheba gam’a kon chuleh gamla tah tah’a kon’a gimnamtwi tah tah maicham’a nahin lhut u chu, ipia pang ding ham? Pumgo thilto nabolu jong kasan lou ding chuleh kilhaina nabol jouseu jong kalunglhaina ahipoi.
21 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.
Hijeh chun Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Keiman kamite hi alamlhahna jouseuva kipal lhuhna kakoi ding; Apa leh achate kipallhu khomdiu chuleh hengleh kom, gollepai ho jouse jong thikhom diu ahi.
22 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth.
Hijeh chun Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Vetan, sahlam gam’a konin melma nasatah ahung konin, Chuleh gamlatah’a konin jong nadoudiu namtin vaipi ahung kitil dohtai.
23 They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion.
Amahon thalpi leh tengcha akichoiyun, amaho chu giloutah leh lungsetna neilouhel ahiuve. Sakol chunga ahung touvun, tampi ahung kitolun, akitol ginu chu twikhanglen kinong gin tobang ahi. Amahon galbol dingdan akisemtoh un, nangma sumang jeng din ahung konuve, vo Jerusalem” ati.
24 We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
Keihon melmate chung chang thuthang kajatauve. Kichat jeh in thabeiyin kakhutu angoilha jengtai. Dipdam voujang nat in eiphauvin, numei naosonat in aphah bangin kaum gamtauve.
25 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side.
Loujaova potdoh dauvin lang, Lampidunga jong vahle hih un! Ajeh chu melmapan chemjam akidop in, munjousea kichat tijat aume.
26 O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.
Vo kamite, khaodip pon kisil uvin lang, vutlah’a kitangun. Chapa changkhat seh manthahna chunga laina tah’a kap bangin kap un. Ajeh chu hetman louhela misumangpa chu nachunguva hung chuding ahi.
27 I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way.
Vo Jeremiah, keiman nangma hi, kamite itobang mong hiuvem, ti hedoh dinga, thih patepna tobanga kasemdoh nahi.
28 They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.
Amaho hi, doumah bol’a lamkai milouchaltah ahiuvin: Chuleh muntin’ah mi seisea vahle ahiuve. Amaho hi, sum-eng lah thih banga tah’a, Chuleh midangho thilphalou bolsah’a makai ahiuve.
29 The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away.
Pumlongin, mei chu akijap amleng in; Ahivangin, hichun thih-eh ho chu alhutjal thengsel dehpoi. Ajeh chu agitlounau chu amangthei dehpoi.
30 Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them.
Hijeh’a chu, Keiman amaho chu, lahtheilou dangka kati ding ahi. Ajeh chu, keima Pakaiyin amaho chu kapaimang ahitauve, ati.
