< Jeremiah 24 >

1 YHWH has showed me, and behold, two baskets of figs, appointed before the temple of YHWH—after the removing by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, of Jeconiah, son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the heads of Judah, and the artisan, and the smith, from Jerusalem, when he brings them into Babylon—
Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar in, Judahte lengpa Jehoiakim chapa Jehoiachin, Judah leng chapate ho, khutthem bolho leh thingthem bolho jouse, Babylon gam’a soh’a akaimang nung un, Pakaiyin hiche gao-thilmu hi, keima eimusah e. Hichu, Jerusalem houin maiya, theichangga pochani dimset akitung’e.
2 In one basket [are] very good figs, like the first-ripe figs, and in the other basket [are] very bad figs that are not eaten because of badness.
Pocha khat’a chun, theichangga apha leh amin hoisel adimset in, chuleh pocha khat’a chun, theichangga phalou leh nehthei lou amonsa dimset in aum e.
3 And YHWH says to me, “What are you seeing, Jeremiah?” And I say, “Figs, the good figs [are] very good, and the bad [are] very bad, that are not eaten because of badness.”
Chuin Pakaiyin kajah’a, “Jeremiah, ipi namum?’’ ati. Keiman kadonbut in,’’Theichangga pochani dim kamui. Aga pha hochu ahoilheh in; Aga phalou ho chu nehtheilou amon ngen ahiuve,’’ kati.
4 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Chujouvin, Pakai thusei hichehi, kaheng ahung lhung e.
5 “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Like these good figs so I acknowledge The expulsion of Judah that I sent from this place, [To] the land of the Chaldeans—for good.
Pakai, Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye, “Judah gamsunga kon’a Babylon gam’a sohchanga kikaimang ho chu, theichangga apha leh ahoisel ho banga kagel ahi.
6 And I have set My eyes on them for good, And have brought them back to this land, And built them up, and I do not throw down, And have planted them, and do not pluck up.
Keiman amaho kavetlhih jinga kachin jing ding, chuleh amaho chu hiche gamsunga kahin lepuilut kitding ahiuve.
7 And have given to them a heart to know Me, For I [am] YHWH, And they have been to Me for a people, And I am to them for God, For they turned back to Me with all their heart.
Keiman amaho hi, keima Pakai kahi ti eihetjing nadiu lungchang kapeh diu ahiuve. Chuleh amaho kamite hiuva, keima a Pathen u kahiding; Chutahle amaho alungthim pumpiuva kaheng’a hung kile kitdiu ahiuve.
8 And like the bad figs that are not eaten for badness, Surely thus said YHWH: So I make Zedekiah king of Judah, And his heads, and the remnant of Jerusalem, Who are left in this land, And who are dwelling in the land of Egypt,
Chuleh theichangga phalou chu, Judah lengpa Zedekiah leh achapate, Jerusalem’a umden ho leh Egypt gamsunga cheng den ho, kabolna ding vetsahna ahi. Keiman amaho chu theichangga phalou, nehtheilou amonsa banga kalah ahiuve.
9 And I have given them for a trembling, For evil—to all kingdoms of the earth, For a reproach, and for an allegory, For a byword, and for a reviling, In all the places to where I drive them.
Amaho hi keiman namtin vaipi mudinga, thet umtah leh melse tah’a kabol ding; Chuleh amaho hi, keiman muntin’a kadel manga, kathethang ding ahiuve. Chutia chu miho seiset leh nuisat a umding ahiuve.
10 And I have sent the sword against them, The famine and the pestilence, Until their consumption from off the ground, That I gave to them and to their fathers!”
Keiman amaho leh apu apateu kana pehsa gamsunga kon amanthah kahseuva chemjam kalha den diu, kel lha ding chule thina hise jong kalha khum diu ahi,” ati.
