< Jeremiah 12 >

1 You [are] righteous, O YHWH, When I plead toward You, Only, let me speak judgments with You, Why did the way of the wicked prosper? All treacherous dealers have been at rest.
Vo Pakai, adih’a thutan nangbou nahi. Hijeh chun, nakom’a kakiphinna thu sei-inge. Ipi dinga migiloute khangtou tou’uva, Chule joule nal a thilbol ho phatou touvu ham?
2 You have planted them, Indeed, they have taken root, They go on, indeed, they have made fruit, You [are] near in their mouth, And far off from their reins.
Nangin amaho naphut det in; Hijeh chun amahon ajung akho det un, chule akhang theiuve. Akam seh in namin apha jingun; Ahivangin, alungthim u nang’a konin agamla lheh e.
3 And You, O YHWH, You have known me, You see me, and have tried my heart with You, Draw them away as sheep to slaughter, And separate them for a day of slaughter.
Hijongle, Vo Pakai nangman kei lungthim nahet ahi. Nangman keima neimuchen in, ka lunggel jong nei patep e. Amaho vang thadinga kikai kelngoi bang in, abonchauvin kaimang soh in, thadin gotsa koidoh jeng in.
4 Until when does the earth mourn, And the herb of the whole field wither? For the wickedness of those dwelling in it, Beast and bird have been consumed, Because they said, “He does not see our latter end.”
Itihchan gamsung hi lunghem’a umding ham? Gamsung mite gitlou jeh in, gamsa ho leh vachate jong gamsunga kon in akithehmang sohtauve. Amahon hiti jong hin aseiuve, “Eihon ipi boljong leuhen, Pakaiyin bon muphalou” atiuve.
5 “For you have run with footmen, And they weary you, And how you fret yourself with horses! Even in the land of peace, [In which] you are confident—And how will you do in the rising of Jordan?
Nangma mitoh nakenga nakilheitet’a bon nachol leh, nangman sakol iti na lheitet jou ding ham? Chule nangma chu, gamnom lai le a-ong laiya nakiselhuh theileh, Jordan vadung panga, gamnoiya iti nadin jou ding ham?
6 For even your brothers and the house of your father, Even they dealt treacherously against you, Even they called after you fully, Do not trust in them when they speak good things to you.
Ajeh chu nasopite leh nang insung mite jong nangma douva pang ahiuve. Amahon nang dounan kiphinna thu aseiyun, thading jeng injong agel uve. Hijeh chun, amahon thu ngeitah tah seijongleu, tahsan hih beh in.
7 I have forsaken My house, I have left My inheritance, I have given the beloved of My soul Into the hand of her enemies.
Keiman ka goulo ding kamite ka dalhah’a, amaho chu donlouva kakoi ahitai. Keiman ka-ittah kamite chu, amelmateu khut a kapehdoh ahitai.
8 My inheritance has been to Me as a lion in a forest, She gave forth against Me with her voice, Therefore I have hated her.
Kalhentum kamiten eidouvun, gammang noiya keipi kisen bangin eikisenkhum’un: Hijeh chun, amahohi keiman kahot lheh jeng e.
9 [Is] My inheritance a speckled bird to Me? Is the bird around against her? Come, assemble, every beast of the field, Come for food.
Ka lhentum kamiten, muthong ho umchan athouve. Ahinla muthonghon amaho joh aumkimvel’u ahitai. Amaho negam dingle nengim dingin gamsa ho gakoukhomun.
10 Many shepherds destroyed My vineyard, They have trodden down My portion, They have made My desirable portion Become a wilderness—a desolation.
Gamdang vaipohon ka lengpilei asuseuvin, kaloulai jouse jong akeng in achilthang tauve. Ka-ittah ka gamsung abon'in gamkeo leh nelgam asosahtauvin ahi.
11 He has made it become a desolation, The desolation has mourned to Me, All the land has been desolated, But there is no one laying it to heart.
Amahon gamsung pumpi ahomkeo leh pannabeiyin akoiyun, ahomkeova aumphat un, akanau ogin kajan, ahinla koiman gelkhoh in aneipoi.
12 Spoilers have come in on all high places in the plain, For the sword of YHWH is consuming, From the end of the land even to the end of the land, There is no peace to any flesh.
Molchung achailah ho jousea, amaho sumang ding galmi ho ahung kitollut tauve. Pakai chemjam chun, leiset ninglang khat a pat a langkhat geiya, namtin vaipi chu a bahgamtai. Koimacha asohcha umlou ding ahi.
13 They sowed wheat, and have reaped thorns, They have become sick—they do not profit, And they have been ashamed of your increases, Because of the fierceness of the anger of YHWH.”
Kamiten suhlou chang atu-uvin, ahinlah ling le khao jeng a-atkhomui. Amahon choltah in na atongun, ahivangin imacha aphatchompi pouve. Amahon alho-lhun u ajumpi dingu, ajeh chu, Pakai lungsatna chu achung'uva chu ahitai.
14 Thus said YHWH: “Concerning all My evil neighbors, who are striking against the inheritance that I caused My people—Israel—to inherit: Behold, I am plucking them from off their ground, And I pluck the house of Judah out of their midst.
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Keiman kami Israelte kapehsa gamsung sumanga, Israel heng le kom, nam gilou ho chu, gamsung’a kon’a thingphung ajung geiuva kibotdoh bang’a kabodoh ding ahi. Chuleh alah uva kon’a keiman Judah chu kaloidoh ding ahi.
15 And it has been, after My plucking them out, I turn back, and have pitied them, And I have brought them back, Each to his inheritance, and each to his land.
Chutahle keiman amaho chunga lainatna kaneikit ding, Amitakip chu ama ama goulo mun leh ama ama gamsung cheh’a kahin le puilut kitding ahi.
16 And it has come to pass, If they learn the ways of My people well, To swear by My Name, YHWH lives, As they taught My people to swear by Ba‘al, Then they have been built up in the midst of My people.
Chule hitiding ahi, hiche mite hin, kamite jal’a kihilna thah aneiyuva, keima minpan’a ‘Hingjing Pakaiyin’ tia akihahsel theiuva, keima eihouvu leh, amahon kamite lah’a mun aneithei dingu chule khangtou diu ahi.
17 And if they do not listen, Then I have plucked up that nation, Plucking up and destroying,” A declaration of YHWH!
Amavang koihileh, nam khattouvin ka thusei angailouleh, amaho chu thingphung kibodoh banga kabodoh a, kasuhmang ding ahi, kei Pakaiyin kasei ahi,” ati.
