< Jeremias 3 >
1 If a man put away his wife, and she depart from him, and become another man's, shall she return to him any more at all? shall not that woman be utterly defiled? you you have gone a-whoring with many shepherds, and have returned to me, says the Lord.
Vetan, pasal khat in ajinu ada-a, amanu chu achemanga michomtoh akichenteng, ajiluipa chu amanu heng’a galutji mong am? Chutitaleh, amanuchun gamsung pumpi chu asuhboh ding ahitai. Israel, nangjong nadongma tamtah angsunga noti banga naum nunga, ibol’a kahenga hung kile kit go nahim? tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
2 Lift up your eyes [to look] straight forward, and see where you have not been utterly defiled. You have sat for them by the wayside as a deserted crow, and have defiled the land with your fornications and your wickedness.
Khodah in lhangvum lai laiya doiphung hokhu ven, semthu pathen chom chomho chibai nabohlouna mun um am? Gamthip noiya noti bangin, nachangin natouvin, setpi dingin kholche vahle ho nangah in, nachonna ho jouse chun gamsung pumpi asuhboh ahitai.
3 And you did retain many shepherds for a stumbling block to yourself: you had a whore's face, you did become shameless toward all.
Hiche jehtah chun, aphat phat’a hung julhaji go leh dai jong atangtai. Ajeh chu, jumleh ja helouhel in noti bangin, nangma nachontai.
4 Hast you not called me as it were a home, and the father and guide of your virgin-time?
Ahivang in tuhin kajah’a, “Nangma kapa nahin, kaneova pat neihin khoukhah jing ahi,’’ nati.
5 Will [God's anger] continue for ever, or be preserved to the end? Behold, you have spoken and done these bad things, and had power [to do them].
“Kachunga lunghang denpon natin chuleh atonsot in nei lunghan denpon nate,’’ nati. Ahin hitia naseivangin, nangman nanop nop in ase naboljingin, nachon namlhah nanga dehpoi,’’ ati.
6 And the Lord said to me in the days of Josias the king, Hast you seen what things the house of Israel has done to me? they have gone on every high mountain, and under every shady tree, and have committed fornication there.
Josiah lengpa nikholaiyin, Pakaiyin kajah’a thu ahinseitai, “Israel in kitahlouhel’a, thilse hichengpi aboldoh hi, namu hitalou ham? Numei aji umkhat michom toh ajon bangin, lhangsanglai jousea thingphungnoi tin’a, noti chon banga achon’a chuleh pathen semthu ho ahou jingkhu, nahetsoh hilou ham?’’
7 And I said after she had committed all these acts of fornication, Turn again to me. Yet she returned not. And faithless Juda saw her faithlessness.
Hicheho pikhu gaboldoh jongleh, keima heng’a hung kilekit teidin kanangah’e. Ahivangin amanu ahungkilekit dehpon, chuleh achonthanghoina ho chu, asopinu michavai Judah chun akimudoh sohkit ahitai.
8 And I saw that (for all the sins of which she was convicted, wherein the house of Israel committed adultery, and I put her away, and gave into her hands a bill of divorcement, ) yet faithless Juda feared not, but went and herself also committed fornication.
Israel chu michom toh ajon’a, kitahlou tah’a aumjeh’a, keiman amachu kada-a kadelmang ahichu, asopinu Judah in amusoh ahitai. Ahivangin, michavainu Judah in, hitiho chu kichat in aneidehpoi. Keiya konin amanu avahmangin, noti chon in achontai.
9 And her fornication was nothing accounted of; and she committed adultery with wood and stone.
Amanun noti chon’a achonna chu imalouvin agel’in, thingphung songphung ahouvin, chuleh mitoh ajongin gamsung asubohtai.
10 And for all these things faithless Juda turned not to me with all her heart, but falsely.
Ahinlah hichengse abolnungin jong, asopinu michavainu Judah chu kahenga lungtheng selin ahung kilekit dehpon, amanun akisih banga abol jouse hi, kilepna-a abolthu ahibouve, tin keima Pakaiyin kasei ahitai.
11 And the Lord said to me, Israel has justified himself more than faithless Juda.
Chuin Pakaiyin kajah’a, “Israel chu achonchatvai lheh vang'in, asopinu Judah kitah louna sangin athemmona alhomjoi.”
12 Go and read these words toward the north, and you shall say, Return to me, O house of Israel, says the Lord; and I will not set my face against you: for I am merciful, says the Lord, and I will not be angry with you for ever.
Hijeh chun, Israel henga chenlang, hiche thuhi gaseitan, “Vo Israel, kitahlou kamite nahiuve, tun kahenga hung kilekit tauvin. Ajeh chu keima khoto them leh hepi them kahin, atonsot in nachung’a lunghang jing ponge,’’ ati.
13 Nevertheless, know your iniquity, that you have sinned against the Lord your God, and have scattered your ways to strangers under every shady tree, but you did not listen to my voice, says the Lord.
Nathemmona kihet in, Pakai na Pathen douna-a nachonset naho, thingphungnoi tin’a doilim pathen ho nahouva, chuleh mitoh najon naho chu, phongdoh poupouvin. Nangman kathusei jouse jong nangai poi,’’ tin Pakayin kaphondoh ahitai.
14 Turn, you children that have revolted, says the Lord; for I will rule over you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you in to Sion:
Vo kitahlou vahmang chate, keima henga hung kilekit uvin, tin Pakaiyin aseiye. Ijeh inem itileh, keima nangho dinga na Pakaiyu kahi. Keiman nangho munchom chom’a pat’a kalahkhom ding, khopi khat’a mini kalah ding, Israel gamsung’a kahin lepuilut ding nahiuve, “ati.
15 and I will give you shepherds after my heart, and they shall certainly tend you with knowledge.
Chuleh keiman kadeitah, nangho kelngoi chinbanga nachingtup diu khat kapeh ding nahiuve. Aman nangho chunga hetna leh thil hetkhen themna toh tho’a, napuihoi diu ahi.
16 And it shall come to pass that when you are multiplied and increased upon the land, says the Lord, in those days they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the Holy One of Israel: it shall not come to mind; it shall not be named; neither shall it be visited; nor shall [this] be done any more.
Chuleh nangho napunbe cheh cheh uva, gamsung chu nadimset teng uleh, Pakai kitepna thingkong naputleuva nakipanau nikholai chu ngaitapouvin nate. Gel jong nageldoh tahlou diu chuleh hiche nikholai chu nalungvil kit tahlou diu, chuleh thingkong jong nasemphat kit tahlou diu ahi,’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
17 In those days and at that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and all the nations shall be gathered to it: and they shall not walk any more after the imaginations of their evil heart.
Hiche nikho chuleh, Jerusalem chu Pakai laltouna kiti ding, namtin jouse Jerusalem’a hung kikhom’uva Pakai chu ajabol diu ahi. Chuphatleh amaho louchal tah’a umtalou diu, chuleh alung’uva gitlouna agelbang uva chu chontalou diu ahi.
18 In those days the house of Juda, shall come together to the house of Israel, and they shall come, together, from the land of the north, and from all the countries, to the land, which I caused their fathers to inherit.
Chuche nikholeh, Judah leh Israel mite chu asohchannau sahlam gam’a pat’a, hung kilekhom kit uva, keiman apu apateu kapehsa gamsung’a chu hunglut kit’uva, aitih’a gamsung chu aloden diu ahitai.
19 And I said, So be it, Lord, for [you said] I will set you among children, and will give you a choice land, the inheritance of the Almighty God of the Gentiles: and I said, You shall call me Father; and you shall not turn away from me.
Keiman kanagel chu, “Nanghi kachateho lah’a kasimtha-a, keiman hiche gam leiset hoitah leh aphapen hi, nang kapehdoh nahi. Chuleh nangma keiya kon’a avel’a napotdoh kittah louding ahi.
20 But as a wife acts treacherously against her husband, so has the house of Israel dealt treacherously against me, says the Lord.
Ahivangin vo Israel mite! Nangho keiya dingin kitahna beikei nahiuve. Tahbeh mongin, numei kitahloutah khat in ajipa adalhah’a chavaitah’a achon bang’a, nangma naum ahitai, “tin keima Pakaiyin kasei ahitai.
21 A voice from the lips was heard, [even] of weeping and supplication of the children of Israel: for they have dealt unrighteously in their ways, they have forgotten God their Holy One.
Lhangvum chaivet vut’a kon, ogin nasatah akijai, hichu Israrel chate kana leh thumna ogin ahi. Ajeh chu amahon achenau lampi chu akaleh lam in akilhen un, chuleh Pakai a Pathen’u chu asumiltauvin ahi.
22 Turn, you children that are given to turning, and I will heal your bruises. Behold, we will be your servants; for you are the Lord our God.
Pakaiyin aseiye,’’ Kitahna bei kamite, kahenga hung kilekit’uvin, chuleh keiman nakitahlounau lungthim chu kabol dam ding ahi,’’ ati. Amahon adonbut’un, “Nahenga kahungtauve! Ijeh inem itileh, nangma keiho Pakai leh ka Pathen’u nahibouve, atiuvin ahi.
23 Truly the hills and the strength of the mountains were a lying refuge: but by the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel.
Thinglhang jousea semthu doilim ihouva, chuleh molsangvum tin’a doi houna maicham phung iboljouse hi, abon’a pannabei leh kilhep lhahna ahibouve. Tahbeh mongin, Israel dingin huhhingna chu Pakai I Pathen uva bou um ahi.
24 But shame has consumed the labors of our fathers from our youth; their sheep and their calves, and their sons and their daughters.
Neolaiya pat’a ihinmu jing’u, pulehpa ten gimtah’a – akelngoiho ding, aganchaho ding, chuleh achapate leh achanute ding, abol jouseu jong chu pannabei leh kilheplhahna ahibouve.
25 We have lain down in our shame, and our disgrace has covered us: because we and our fathers have sinned before our God, from our youth until this day; and we have not listened to the voice of the Lord our God.
Eiho tun jum manin tol’ah kijam’u hitin, mihon noisetah’a ibolnau chu kikhuden sah’ute. Ajeh chu eiho leh iputeuvin, Pakai I Pathen’u dounan chonset inaboltauve. Ajeh chu eihon ineolaiyuva pat tuni geiyin I Pathen’u ogin ingaipouvin chuleh ijuitapouve.
