< Jeremiah 13 >

1 Thus said YHWH to me: “Go, and you have acquired a girdle of linen for yourself, and have placed it on your loins, and you do not cause it to enter into water.”
Pakaiyin kaheng’a hitin aseiye, “Chen lang taigah pon, tupat ponnem khat gachon lang, kigah in. Chule hichu twiya nasoplou ding ahi,” ati.
2 And I get the girdle, according to the word of YHWH, and I place [it] on my loins.
Hijeh chun, Pakaiyin athusah dungjuiyin, kenjong taigah pon kagachon kakigahtai.
3 And there is a word of YHWH to me a second time, saying,
Chujouvin Pakaiyin kahenga thu ahinseikit in,
4 “Take the girdle that you have acquired, that [is] on your loins, and rise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock”;
Nataigah pon chu kichoiyin lang, Ephrates vadung a chen. Chukom’a songpi khikah’a chun nathil chu gaselmang tan ati.
5 and I go and hide it by the Euphrates, as YHWH commanded me.
Hichun keiman, Pakai thupeh dungjuijin Ephrates vadunga kachen, kagasel mangtai.
6 And it comes to pass, at the end of many days, that YHWH says to me, “Rise, go to the Euphrates, and take the girdle there, that I commanded you to hide there”;
Chujou, nikho tamtah jouvin, Pakaiyin kahenga thu ahinseikit in, “Ephrates vadunga chekit inlang na taigah pon kaselmang sah chu, gakilah kittan,” ati.
7 and I go to the Euphrates, and dig, and take the girdle from the place where I had hid it; and behold, the girdle has been marred, it is not profitable for anything.
Chuin keima Ephrates vadunga kachen, taigah pon kasel chu kagakhot doh kittai. Amavang, hiche taigah pon chu, amon in anase gam heltai. Taigah pon chu, imacha-a apanna ding aumtapoi.
8 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “Thus said YHWH:
Chuin Pakaiya konin, kahenga thu ahunglhungin,
9 Thus I mar the excellence of Judah, And the great excellence of Jerusalem.
“Hiche hi Pakai kamsoh chu ahi, keiman Judah leh Jerusalem mite kithang-at nachu, hitobanga hi kasuhset pihding ahi.”
10 This evil people, who refuse to hear My words, Who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, And go after other gods to serve them, And to bow themselves to them, Indeed it is—as this girdle, that is not profitable for anything.
Hiche migiloute hin, kathusei angaipouvin, louchal tah in achon un, ama ama cheh lung ngaichat abol'un, chule semthu pathen ahouvun ahi. Hijeh’a chu, amahohi taigah pon banga chu, phatchomna beihel ahitauve.
11 For as the girdle cleaves to the loins of a man, So I caused to cleave to Me The whole house of Israel, And the whole house of Judah,” A declaration of YHWH, “To be to Me for a people, and for a name, And for praise, and for beauty, And they have not listened.
Ijeh inem itileh, taigah pon mihem taibuh a akiveiden banga, Judah leh Israel mite chu, keima chunga kiveiden jeng dinga kasem ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye. Hitia chu, amaho kamite hiuva, keidinga loupina leh eikivahchoina thei hidiu ahin; Hinlah amahon kathusei angaidehji pouvin ahi.
12 And you have said this word to them, Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Every bottle is full of wine, And they have said to you: Do we not certainly know that every bottle is full of wine?
Hiche thuhi nangman amaho hetsah in, Pakai Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye, “Hai jousea lengpitwi nathaldim soh keidiu ahi,” ati. Chutengle amahon najah’a, “Hai jousea lengpitwi thaldim sohkei ding chu, keihon kahetlouvu ham? “atidiu ahi.
13 And you have said to them, Thus said YHWH: Behold, I am filling all the inhabitants of this land, And the kings who sit for David on his throne, And the priests, and the prophets, And all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, [With] drunkenness,
Chutengle nangin amaho jah’a, Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, tin. “Ven hiche gamsung mite jouse: David laltouna-a tou lengho a pat thempuho, chule themgao ho, chule Jerusalem a chengho jouse, abonuva khamnathei gu-twi ka donkhamsah soh hel dingu ahi.
14 And have dashed them against one another, And the fathers and the sons together,” A declaration of YHWH, “I do not pity, nor spare, nor do I have mercy, So as not to destroy them.”
Keiman amaho, khat le khat katato ding, mipate le chapate jong katato ding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye. Hitia chu, amaho suhmang louna dinga, achunguva hepina le lainatsah pihna, kaneilou hel ding ahi, ati.
15 Hear, and give ear—do not be haughty, For YHWH has spoken.
Thu kasei ngaiyun lang, nanakhang’u hindo cheh’un. Kiletsah hoitho bol hih un. Ajeh chu Pakaiyin thu aseitai.
16 Give glory to your God YHWH, Before He causes darkness, And before your feet stumble on dark mountains, And you have waited for light, And He has made it for death-shade, And has appointed [it] for thick darkness.
Phat ageisang masang in, Pakai na Pathen chu loupi sah un. Aman muthim ahin lhunsah masang, molsang laiya nakipal lhuh masang. Muthim lhangkhal gimneitah akiheh sah’a, khovah ngaicha geova naum masangun.
17 And if you do not hear it, My soul weeps in secret places, because of pride, Indeed, it weeps and wails, And the tear comes down my eyes, For the flock of YHWH has been taken captive.
Nanghon hichea jong, Pakai thusei nangailou uleh, nakiletsah hoitho jal uva, keima kachanga kaka ding ahi. Keima mitlhi long chut chut a kaka ding; Ajeh chu Pakai mite abonchauva sohchanga kikaimang diu ahitai.
18 Say to the king and to the mistress: Make yourselves low—sit still, For your principalities have come down, The crown of your beauty.
Lengpa leh lengnu kom’a seipih un. “Na laltouna’a kon in hung kumlha lhon in, tollhanga toulhon in. Ajeh chu, na loupina lallukhuh chu nalua kon’a kilamang ding ahitai,” ati.
19 The cities of the south have been shut up, And there is none opening, Judah has been removed—all of her, She has been completely removed—
Negev gam’a khopi jouse kot akikhah sohtan, koima ahongdoh ding aumpoi. Judah mite jouse sohchanga kikaimang ta, Chuleh gamsung mijouse sohchanga kikaimang ahitauve.
20 Lift up your eyes, and see those coming in from the north, Where [is] the drove given to you, your beautiful flock?
khodah in lang vetem un, sahlam gam’a kon’a hung kitolsuh galmi ho khu. Nangma nakipesa, na kelngoi hon ho chu, hoiya um hitam?
21 What do you say when He looks after you? And you have taught them [to be] over you—leaders for head? Do pangs not seize you as a travailing woman?
Nangin gollepai dia nakisemsa ho chu, Pakaiyin nangma chunga vaihom’a apansah tengle, nangin ipi nasei ding ham? Numei naoso nat banga, nang dinga natna nasatah hiding ahi.
22 And when you say in your heart, “Why have these met me?” For the abundance of your iniquity Have your skirts been uncovered, Have your heels suffered violence.
Nangman na lung sunga, ipi dia thil hicheng pihi kachunga hunglhung ham, tia nakidoh nomleh: Hichehi, na chonset alet behseh jeh ahi. Hijeh’a chu na ponsil jouse kibottel’a, hesoh genthei nasatah nathoh ahiye.
23 “Does a Cushite change his skin? And a leopard his spots? Can you also do good, who are accustomed to do evil?
Ven, Ethiopia min avun avouso akhel thei am? Chule lutnun achunga ajem-pol ho akheldoh thei ham? Achuti theile, thilse bolgunset nanghon jong thilpha nabol theidiu ahi.
24 And I scatter them as stubble, Passing away, by a wind of the wilderness.
“Keiman nangho nabonchauva, nelgam huipin changvai amut mang banga kalecheh ding nahiuve.
25 This [is] your lot, the portion of your measures from Me,” A declaration of YHWH, “Because you have forgotten Me, And trust in falsehood.
Hichehi nangma chandol ahin, keiman nang dinga tedohsa-a kakoi ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye. Ajeh chu, nangman keima neisumiltan, jouva kisemdoh pathen ho chu na tahsan tai.
26 I have also made your skirts bare before your face, And your shame has been seen.
Hijeh’a chu, keima mong mong in na ponsil kahodoh peh’a, najamo geiya kimu ding ahiye.
27 Your adulteries, and your neighings, The wickedness of your whoredom, on heights in a field, I have seen your abominations. Woe to you, O Jerusalem, You are not [yet] made clean—after when [will you be] again?”
Keiman, nathilbol thet umtah ho, mito najon thanhoina, kidah umtah nachonna ho, Chule loujao tinleh thinglhang’a doilim semthu nahouna, kamusoh keiyin ahi. Ohe ada nahi, Vo Jerusalem! Na kisuhthengna dinga phat itihchan lutding ham? “ati.
