< Jeremiah 22 >

1 Thus said the Lord, Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word;
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Nangma Judah lengpa in-ah chesuh inlang, hiche thuhi gaseipeh tan,’’
2 And thou shalt say, Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter in by these gates:
Juda lengpa, David laltouna toupa, ngaiyin, chule namite leh nasohten jong ngaicheh’uhen.
3 Thus hath said the Lord, Execute ye justice and righteousness, and deliver him that is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor; and the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow shall ye not oppress, and do them no violence, and shed no innocent blood in this place.
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Thu adih in tanpih uvin chule thil adih in bol uvin. Athil kichompih ho chu panhu’uvin lang, amaho chu akibol ganthei nauva kon in huhdoh uvin. Chule nagitlounau chu dalhauvin. Gamchom mileh kholjin miho bolse hih un, chule chagate leh meithai ho chu pumhat in boldauvin. Chule themmona bei mite chunga thisan sodauvin.
4 For if ye indeed will do this thing, then shall enter in through the gates of this house kings sitting after David upon his throne, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.
Nanghon kathu nangaiyuleh, hiche mun’a hi, David laltouna-a, David son le pah ho toujing ding ahi. Chutia chu, lengho leh alhachac ho chule asohte, kangtalai leh sakol a tou uva, leng inpi kelkot a chu, lutle potle abol diu ahi.
5 But if ye will not hear these words, then do I swear by myself, saith the Lord, that this house shall become a ruin.
Amavang, nanghon kathusei hi donlouva nakoi vang ule, keima tah kamin’a kakitepna kasem ahi; Hiche mun hi ahomkeo leh keohel’a kalha ding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
6 For thus hath said the Lord concerning the house of the king of Judah, A Gil'ad [though] thou art unto me, a summit of the Lebanon: yet I will surely change thee into a wilderness, cities which are not inhabited.
Pakaiyin, Judah leng inpi thua hitin aseiye, “Keiding in nangma hi, Gilead lhang leh Lebanon gam hoitah banga chule mihem chennalou gam kasosah ding nahi.
7 And I will make ready against thee destroyers, every one with his weapons: and they shall cut down the choice of thy cedars, and cast them into the fire.
Keiman nangma sumang ding mi kakou ding, amahon ama cheh manchah ahin kichoi uva, nasuh gamdiu ahi. Amahon, Cedar thing hoilai ho aphuh uva, meiya ahalvam diu ahi.
8 And [when] many nations [then] pass by this city, they will say every man to his neighbor, Wherefore hath the Lord done the like unto this great city?
Gam chom chom’a kon hung kholjin namtin vaipin, hiche khopi hinjotpa jousen, ‘Ibol’a Pakaiyin hiche khopi lentah hi ahiti suhmang jeng hitam? tia amaho leh amaho kihoudiu ahi.
9 Then shall they say, Because they had forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God, and bowed down unto other gods, and served them.
Chutengle, “Amahon Pakai a Pathen’u toh akitepnau asuhkeh jeh uva, kisumang ahiuve,’ ti ahetdoh diu ahi.
10 Weep not for the dead, and do not bemoan him: weep sorely for him that goeth away; for he shall never return any more, and see the land of his birth.
Lengpa din kadauvin, lunghempi dauvin, ama chu athi ahitai. Amavang, sohchanga kikaimangpa chu kapiuvin lang, apul douvun. Ajeh chu, aman agamsung ahung mukit louhel ding ahitai.
11 For thus hath said the Lord respecting Shallum the son of Josiah the king of Judah, who reigneth in the place of Josiah his father, who is gone forth out of this place, He shall never return thither any more;
Hiche thuhi, apa Josiah khel’a lengchang Jehoahaz chungthu asei ahi. ama chu gal-hinga kikaimang ahin, agam a hung kilekit louding ahi.
12 But in the place whither they have led him into exile, there shall he die; but this land shall he not see any more.
Ama chu migam’a thiden ding, agamsung anungmu louhel ding ahi.
13 Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by injustice; that maketh his neighbor work without wages, and giveth him not the reward for his labor;
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, ‘Ohe ada ahi, lamdih lou tah’a in kisahpa! Thudih louva inpi kehlen’a, aheng akom tohman pelouva goipa, chule pumhat a kulpi kisempa!
14 That saith, I will build me a roomy house, and ample chambers, and cutteth himself out windows, and ceileth it with cedar, and painteth it with colors.
Hichepa hin, ‘Keiman inlentah khat kisah inge, indan tampi sem ing katin chule bangkot tampi Cedar thing in sem inge. Hichu rong sen in hoitah in loi ing kate,’’ ati.
15 Shalt thou reign, because thou strivest to excel with cedar buildings? behold, thy father ate and drank, but he executed justice and righteousness: then was it well with him!
amavang, Cedar thinga leng inpi nomtah leh loupitah kisahdoh jeh’a, leng vaipoa kipang ahipoi. Napa Josiah chu neh le don aning lhing set in; ama chu thudihtah ahin, ijakai adih in abol’e. Hijeh chun, Pathen phattheiboh achange.
16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then was it well: is not this the proper knowledge of me? saith the Lord.
Aman vaicha gentheite apanpin, dihtah in vai ahom e. chule ama din imajouse aphatouvin akhangtouve. Hiche hi hilouham, keima toh kivopjing, kitichu,’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
17 But thy eyes and thy heart are directed on nothing but upon thy own gain, and upon innocent blood to shed it, and upon oppression, and upon extortion, to practise them.
Nang invang, namit teni leh nalungthim hi, nangma changseh ding le alamlouva phatchomna muna ding bouvin naming in; monabei nathat in, vaicha gentheite nabol gentheijin, chule hepina umlouvin vai nahom e.
18 Therefore thus hath said the Lord concerning Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah, They shall not lament for him, with, “Woe, my brother!” and, “Woe, sister!” they shall not lament for him, with “Woe, lord!” and, “Woe, to his glory!”
Hijeh chun, Josaih chapa Jehoiakim chung thuhi, Pakaiyin hitin aseiye. “Amapa hi, mihon athini le along a-oplou diu, vo sopipa vo golpa tiajong koima kaplou ding ahi. Amite jeng injong, vo Lengpa, kapu tia akapi umlou ding ahiuve.
19 With the burial of an ass shall he be buried, dragged about and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
Athi long chu, sangan thisa kivui banga, Jerusalem khopia kon’a kikaidoh’a, kelkot polam’a gakivui ding ahi.
20 Ascend the Lebanon, and cry aloud; and let thy voice resound in Bashan; and cry aloud from 'Aharim; for crushed are all thy lovers.
Lebanon’a naloi ho din kapin, chule amaho ding chu Bashan mun’a othong leuvin gasamin. Ab’arim mun’a amaho chu gaholtan, chule amaho din kapin, amaho chu abon'un akisugamtauve.
21 I spoke unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy very youth, that thou didst not hearken to my voice.
Nangma nakhantoupet in kana hil in, Ahinlah, nangman ngaiseh in naneipoi. Hitia hi, naneolaiya pat a kathusei ngailouva hung umpeh chu nahi.
22 The wind shall scatter abroad all thy shepherds, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded because of all thy wickedness.
Tua hi, khopi huiyin napankhompi jouse asumang ding chule naloi nagol ho abon’a sohchanga kikaimang ding ahiuve. Chutahle nagitlouna ho jal’a, nangma najah chading chule nakisuh lungdong ding ahi.
23 O inhabitress of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how full of grace wilt thou be! when pangs come upon thee, the pain as of a woman in travail!
Lebanon gam Cedar thinga kisa leng inpi hoitah sung’a busah chu anom e. Hijongle, numei naosonat tobanga nathoh gimmna ding hesoh gentheina nachunga hung lhung ding ahi.
24 As I live, saith the Lord, though Conyahu the son of Jehoyakim the king of Judah were a signet upon my right hand, yet for a surety would I thence pluck thee;
Pakaiyin aseiye, ‘Keima kahing jinge. Juda lengpa Jehoiakim chapa Jehoiachin, keiman nagma kadalhah ding nahi. Keidinga nangma hi kajitlam’a kibut khutjem nahivangin, kasutlhah ding nahi.
25 And I will give thee into the hand of those that seek thy life, and into the hand of those of whom thou art afraid, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Nanghi, thadinga nahol namelmate khut’a, chule nakichat mama jeng Nebuchadnezzar leh asepaite khut’a kapehdoh nahitai.
26 And I will hurl thee out, and thy mother that hath born thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die.
Nang le nanu jong hiche gamsung’a kon’a kanodoh ding, chule nangma hiche gamsunga nathi lou ding, migam danga nathiden ding ahi.
27 But to the land whitherward they direct their soul to return, thither shall they not return.
Chule nagam’a nahung kilekit tah louding ahi.
28 Is this man Conyahu a despised broken image? or a vessel without value? wherefore are they hurled out, he and his seed, and are cast forth into a land which they know not?
Ibol’a Jehoiachin kitipa hi, belkehsa panna neilou banga um hitam? Ibol’a ama leh achate jouse mi gamdanga soh’a kinomang u hitam?
29 O land, land, land! hear the word of the Lord.
Vo leiset, vo gam leiset, Pakai thusei hi ngaiyun!
30 Thus hath said the Lord, Write ye down this man as childless, as a man that shall not prosper in his days; for no man of his seed shall succeed to sit upon the throne of David, and to rule any more in Judah.
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Jehoiachin kitipa hi, son leh pah neilou, ahinkho sunga ima boldohlou mipa ahi, tin sunlut un. Ajeh chu achate atute khatcha beh jong, David laltouna touva, Judah gamsung a vaihom ding umlou ding ahi.
