< Jeremiah 35 >

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, [in] the days of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah, saying,
Judah lengpa Josiah chapa Jehoiakim phat laiyin, Pakaiyin Jeremiah henga thu hitin aseiye.
2 Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak with them, and bring them into the house of the Lord, into one of the chambers, and offer them wine to drink.
Rechab insung mite henga chenlang, amaho chu Pakai houin’a hungdiuvin gakouvin. Chujoule amaho chu indan sungnung pen khat a puilut inlang, chule adondiuvin lengpitwi hompeh in, ati.
3 Then I took Yaazanyah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Chabazzinyah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;
Hijeh chun keijong Habazzaniah tupa, Jeremiah chapa Jaazaniah leh asopite chule achate jouse toh kimuto dingin kachetai.
4 And I brought them into the house of the Lord, into the chamber of the sons of Chanan, the son of Yigdalyahu, the man of God, which was alongside of the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Ma'aseyahu the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:
Chuin keiman amaho chu houin sunga kahinpuiyin, Pathen mipa Igdalia chapa Horan themgaopa dinga kigonpeh indan sunga chun kapuiluttai. Hiche indan hi, houin vaibol ho umna indan komcha ahin, houin kotkhahbul ngahpa Shallum chapa Maaseiah indan chungtah a ahi.
5 And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites goblets full of wine, and cups; and I said unto them, Drink wine.
Hichun keiman amaho dingin lengpitwi dimset hai-len khat leh adon nading khon ho kasemtup peh in, ajeh uva, “Lengpitwi hi don uvin’’ kati.
6 But they said, We will not drink wine; for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father hath laid a charge on us, saying, Ye shall not drink wine, neither ye, nor your sons for ever;
Ahinlah amahon, “Kanompouve, keihon lengpitwi donpou vinge. Ajeh chu kapu kapau Rechab chapa Jehonadab chun, thupeh eina neiyun, nangho nahiuvin chule nachilhahte ahiuvin, aitih’a lengpitwi nadonlou hel diu ahi.
7 Nor shall ye build any house, nor sow seed, nor plant a vineyard, nor have [any such]; but in tents shall ye dwell all your days, in order that ye may live many days on the face of the land where ye may sojourn.
Chule nanghon chenna in jong nakisah loudiu, muchi natulou diu, lengpilei jong nabollou diu, amavang ponbuh a nachen jing diu ahi. Hiche thupeh hi najui diu, nahinkho lhum keiyuva nakhopem nau gamsung a nom’a nachendiu ahi, ati.
8 And we have hearkened unto the voice of Jehonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, not to drink any wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, and our daughters;
Hiche jeh a chu, keihon ama thupeh hi imalam jousea kajui jingu ahi. Hitia chu keiho kahiuvin, kajiteu ahiuvin chule kachateu ahiuvin, lengpitwi hi kadonlou hel u ahibouve.
9 And not to build houses for our dwelling: and we never had any vineyard, or field, or seed;
Vetan, keihon chenna in kakisah pouvin, lengpilei jong kaneipouvin chule muchi jong katupouve.
10 But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done in accordance with all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
Keiho ponbuh a kacheng uvin, kapu kapau Jehonadab thupeh hohi kanitsoh keiyun ahi.
11 But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go into Jerusalem because of the army of the Chaldeans, and because of the army of the Syrians; and so we dwell at Jerusalem.
Ahuvangin Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar in gamsung douna ahinbol phat in, Babylon leh Syria sepaite kakichat jeh un, Jerusalem kahin jontauve, atiuvin ahi.
12 Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying,
Chuin Pakai thusei chu Jeremiah heng ahung lhung e.
13 Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Go and say to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith the Lord.
Hatchungnung Pakai, Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye; ‘Nanghon ibol a kahilna nadon dauva, chule kathusei ho ngaisah louva nakoiyu ham?’
14 Fulfilled are the words of Jehonadab the son of Rechab, that he hath commanded his sons not to drink wine: and they have not drunk any even unto this day; because they have obeyed the commandment of their father; but I, I have spoken unto you, early in the day and speaking; but ye have not hearkened unto me.
Veuvin, Rechab miten apu apu Jehonadab thupeh chu anit jing uvin, lengpitwi donlouhel in, tuni geiyin aum uve. Keiman nangho henga avel vel'a thu kasei vang'in, nanghon kathusei nangaipouve.
15 And I have sent unto you all my servants the prophets, making them rise up early and sending them, saying, Do but return every man from his evil way, and amend your deeds, and go not after other gods to serve them: and so shall ye remain in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers; but ye have not inclined your ear, and have not hearkened unto me.
Keiman naheng uva kalhacha themgaoho avel vel in kahinsol in, Najah uva, nathilse bol’u dalhauvin hung kile kit unlang, apha chu bol uvin, tia kaseisah ahi. Chule Pathen dang chibai boh hih hel un, chutile keiman nangho le napu napteu kapehsa gamsunga lungmong tah’a nachendiu ahi, katin. Ahivangin nanghon kathusei nangai hih hel un, chule nit dingin jong nagelpouve.
16 Because the sons of Jehonadab the son of Rechab have fulfilled the commandment of their father, which he hath commanded them; but as this people have not hearkened unto me:
Rechab chapa Jehonadab chapaten, apu pau thupeh chu phatah in ajuiyun; Nanghon vang keima thusei ngai nahsah in naneipouve.
17 Therefore thus hath said the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have spoken concerning them; because I spoke unto them, but they would not hear; and I called unto them, but they would not answer.
Hijeh chun Hatchungnung Pakai Israsel Pathen in hitin aseiye. Nanghon kathupeh nangaidauva, kakouna najah tahlou jeh un, Judah leh Jerusalem chunga manthahna kalhunsah ding ahitai.
18 And unto the house of the Rechabites said Jeremiah, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Whereas ye have hearkened to the charge of Jonadab your father, and have kept all his commandments, and have done in accordance with all that he hath commanded you:
Hichun Jeremiah in Rechab mite heng aseitai. Hatchungnung Pakai, Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye: Nanghon napu napau Jehonadab thupeh phatah in najuiyun, chule athusei ho nanitsoh keiyuvin ahi.
19 Therefore thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, There shall not be wanting unto Jehonadab the son of Rechab a man to stand before me at all times.
Hijeh a chu, Hatchungnung Pakai, Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye. “Rechab chapa Jehonadab in keima jending son le pah aneijing ding ahi,” ati.
