Jeremias 18
1 The word that came from the Lord to
Pakaiyin Jeremiah heng’a hitin aseiye,
2 Jeremias, saying, Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there you shall hear my words.
“Beldengpa in-ah khun gachesuh in, chukom’a chu keiman najah’a thu kaseiding ahi,’’ ati.
3 So I went down to the potter's house, and behold, he was making a vessel on the stones.
Chuin, Pakaiyin asei bang chun, keima beldengpan kang apeija pontho tah’a bel asempet katoh in ahi.
4 And the vessel which he was making with his hands fell: so he made it again another vessel, as it seemed good to him to make [it].
Aman abel denchu, adeibang tah’a asodoh louteng, bellei chun asugoiyin, thilchom in asemdoh jitai.
5 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Pakaiyin kahenga hitin aseiye,
6 Shall I not be able, O house of Israel, to do to you as this potter? behold, as the clay of the potter are you in my hands.
Vo Israel, beldengpan leingan chu adei deiya asemdohji banga, keiman nanghohi kabolmo nahiuvem? Bellei chu beldengpa thu thua asembang a, nangho jong kakhut’a um nahiuve.
7 [If] I shall pronounce a decree upon a nation, or upon a kingdom, to cut them off, and to destroy [them];
Keiman namkhat ham ahiloule lenggam khat ham chu, ajung bodoh’a suhmang ding kati teng,
8 and that nation turn from all their sins, then will I repent of the evils which I purposed to do to them.
Hiche nam mite chun, agitlounauva kon’a lung ahin heikituva, ahung kilehei kit ule; Keiman achunguva boldinga kagelhuhsa thilsea kon’a, kalung kakhel kitding ahi.
9 And [if] I shall pronounce a decree upon a nation and kingdom, to rebuild and to plant [it];
Alangkhat a, namkhat ham ahiloule lenggam khat ham chu, kasemphat a kaphudet ding ahi tia, kaphondohsa ahitai.
10 and they do evil before me, so as not to listen to my voice, then will I repent of the good which I spoke of, to do it to them.
Ahivanga, hiche mite chun, kamitmua thilse leh thilphalou abol uva, kathusei angailou ule, kalung kakhelkit jing ding, phatthei kabohlou heldiu ahi, ati.
11 And now say to the men of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Behold, I prepare evils against you, and devise a device against you: let every one turn now from his evil way, and amend your practices.
Hitijeh chun, tun chenlang, Judahte leh Jerusalem mite gaseipeh in: “Pakaiyin aseiye, Nangho douna kathilgon, nachunguva talen kamatsah ding koncha ahitai. Hijeh chun nangho ami takip chu, nagitlounauva kon in hung kilehei kit uvin chuleh kisemphauvin,’’ati.
12 And they said, We will quit ourselves like men, for we will pursue our perverse ways, and we will perform each the lusts of his evil heart.
Ahinlah amahon adonbut uvin, “Hichu pannabei naphat mansah ahibouve. Keiho kalungtah nom ule lungtah ungting, thilse kadei ule kadei dei boltah tangu, ipi khoh am?’’ atiuve.
13 Therefore thus says the Lord; Enquire now among the nations, who has heard such very horrible things as the virgin of Israel has done?
Hijeh chun Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Namtin vaipi lah’a jong gadong leuvin. Hitobang thuhi ahekha koi um am? Kachanu deitah Israel in thil kidah um tahtah aboltai.
14 Will fertilising streams fail [to flow] from a rock, or snow [fail] from Libanus? will water violently impelled by the wind turn aside?
Lebanon molsang vum’a buhbang beikha a, chule gamla tah a hiche molsang ho’a kon’a hung longdoh twidapjen vadung ho kang kha am?
15 For my people have forgotten me, they have offered incense in vain, and they fail in their ways, [leaving] the ancient tracks, to enter upon impassable paths;
Ahinlah, kamiten kitahna aneipouve. Amahon keima einungsun’un, pannabei semthu doilim hounan gim namtwi ahaltauve. Achena diu lamlen chu kiselhuhnan aneiyun, lampi dihlouva alamlha gamtauve.
16 to make their land a desolation, and a perpetual hissing; all that go through it shall be amazed, and shall shake their heads.
Hijeh’a chu, agamsung u akeova kijam ding ahi. Ajeh chu, amahon thil kidah umtah tampi aboltauve. Agamsungu jotpa tapou tija lihdiu, chule alu-u athinkhum diu ahi.
17 I will scatter them before their enemies like an east wind; I will show them the day of their destruction.
Nisolam khohuiyin leivui vanpil thena anei banga, keiman kamite chu, amelmateu masanga, kathecheh gamdiu ahi. Chule hesoh genthei, hamsetna ato niuleh, keiman kanung kangatding, kapanhu louhel diu ahi,’’ati.
18 Then they said, Come, and let us devise a device against Jeremias; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us strike him with the tongue, and we will hear all his words.
Hichun amahon aseiyun, “Hung un, Jeremiah hi alonaje ding khat gongu hite. Eiho eihil uva eiphoh diu thempu ho, miching ho chule themgao ho tampi ineinauve. Eihon hichepa hi ingaichapouve, athusei ho ngapih pou hitin, ama douna thujoh haseiyin seiyu hite,’’ atiuve.
19 Hear me, O Lord, and hear the voice of my pleading.
Vo Pakai, neikhoh sah inlang nei panpin, Kamelma ten kachunga eidounau thu asei chengseu hi, neihet peh in, katao ahi.
20 Forasmuch as evil is rewarded for good; for they have spoken words against my soul, and they have hidden the punishment they [meant] for me; remember that I stood before your face, to speak good for them, to turn away your wrath from them.
Thilpha chu thilsea kilethuh angai mong ham? Amahon kathina ding kokhuh alaiyun, kenla amaho dingin na-ang sunga taona kaneiyun; Achunguva nalunghan achuh lou nadin kappum in kataopeh in ahi. Nangin hingeldoh tei teiyin.
21 Therefore do you deliver their sons to famine, and gather them to the power of the sword: let their women be childless and widows; and let their men be cut off by death, and their young men fall by the sword in war.
Hijeh chun, achateu kel thohsah inlang, Amaho abonchauvin chemjam in lousah in. Ajinuteu cha neilouvin abonchauvin meithai soh uhen, Tehse hou natna in thiu hen, chule golhang ho galmun’a chemjam in satgam uhen.
22 Let there be a cry in their houses: you shall bring upon them robbers suddenly: for they have formed a plan to take me, and have hidden snares for me.
Hetman louvin, amaho chu gal miten lhunkhum uhen, A-injouseuva ka le mao ogin kijasoh kei hen. Ajeh chu amahon keima thina ding kokhuh alaiyun, chule kalam lhahna-a thang akam leleuve.
23 And you, Lord, know all their deadly counsel against me: account not their iniquities guiltless, and blot not out their sins from before you: let their weakness come before you; deal with them in the time of your wrath.
Vo Pakai, kei thana dinga athilgon’u abonchan nangman nahei. Athilse bol’u chulnampih hih in, chule achonsetnau jong ngaidam hih beh in. Nalunghan nachun amaho hi bolgim inlang, na-ang sunga thisah jeng in, kati ahi.
