Jeremiah 29
1 And these [are] the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the remnant of [the] elderly of the expulsion, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people—whom Nebuchadnezzar removed from Jerusalem to Babylon,
Jeremiah themgao pan, Babylon gam’a Nebuchadnezzar lengpa khut noiya sohchang ho: Upa ho, Thempu ho, Themgao ho, chule mipite jouse kom’a, Jerusalem’a pat a, hiche hi athot ahi.
2 after the going forth of Jeconiah the king, and the mistress, and the officers, heads of Judah and Jerusalem, and the craftsman, and the smith, from Jerusalem—
Hiche athot nahi, Lengpa Jehoiachin, anu lengnu, Judah gamsung leh Jerusalem’a leng chapate, milen milal ho, chuleh khutthem natong ho abonchauva, soh’a akikaimang nung ahi.
3 by the hand of Eleasah son of Shaphan, and Gemariah son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, saying,
Aman hiche lekha thot chu, Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar henga, Zedekiah lengpan palaiya asolji Shaphan chapa Elasah leh Hilkiah chapa Gemariah khut’a anathot ahi. Aman lekhathot achun hitin aseije.
4 “Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, to all the expulsion that I removed from Jerusalem to Babylon:
Hatchungnung Pakai Isreal Pathen in, Jerusalem’a kon’a Babylon gam’a sohchang’a ana tolmangsa ho henga hitin aseije.
5 Build houses and abide; and plant gardens and eat their fruit;
In tampi kisah’un, kihol tah in cheng un. Honlei kibolun lang aga neuvin.
6 take wives and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, and they bear sons and daughters; and multiply there, and you are not few;
Ji kipuiyun, cha tampi hing uvin, chule nachateu chu ji neisah uvin lang, tule cha tampi neiyu vin. Pung uvin lang kemsuh hih hel uvin.
7 and seek the peace of the city to where I have removed you, and pray to YHWH for it, for in its peace you have peace.
Chule nasoh channau khopi’a din, chamna leh khantouna aumna ding in, na tong uvin lang hatah in pang uvin. Hiche khopi thalheng in taovun, chutileh amaho phattouna-a chu nanghon jong phatna nakimu diu ahi.
8 For thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Do not let your prophets who [are] in your midst, and your diviners, lift you up, nor listen to their dreams, that you are causing [them] to dream;
Hatchungnung Pakai, Isreal Pathen chun hitin aseije, Nangho lah’a cheng nathemgao houleh phunsan themho kilhep lhah sah hih un. Amahon mang aseiju jong ngaidauvin.
9 for they are prophesying with falsehood to you in My Name; I have not sent them, a declaration of YHWH.
Ajeh chu amaho chu kasolpoi tin Pakaiyin aseije.
10 For thus said YHWH: Surely at the fullness of Babylon—seventy years—I inspect you, and have established My good word toward you, to bring you back to this place.
Pakai yin hitin aseije, ‘Nangho kum sotpi Babylon gam’a nasohchan diu ahi. Amavang phat alhinteng, keiman nangho kahungvil uva chule nangho dia kakitepna chu kabulhit ding ahi. Chutengle, katepsa bang’a hiche mun’a hi kalepuilut kitding mahiuve.
11 For I have known the thoughts that I am thinking toward you—a declaration of YHWH; thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give posterity and hope to you.
Ajeh chu nangho dinga kathilgon ho chu keiman kahenai, tin Pakaiyin aseiye. Hahsatna chulouva naphattouna dinguva kagon ahin, khonunga nakinep nau bulhit nading a kagon ahi.
12 And you have called Me, and have gone, and have prayed to Me, and I have listened to you,
Hiche nikho chule, nangho kaheng’a nahung tao uva, keiman nataonau kangaipeh ding nahiuve.
13 and you have sought Me, and have found, for you seek Me with all your heart;
Chutia chu, nanghon nalungthim pumpiuva neihol ule, keima neimutei diu ahi.
14 and I have been found by you—a declaration of YHWH; and I have turned back [to] your captivity, and have gathered you out of all the nations, and out of all the places to where I have driven you—a declaration of YHWH—and I have brought you back to the place from where I removed you.
Pakaiyin aseiye, nanghon keima neimudoh diu, chule keiman nangho sohchan na kasuhbeiding, nakithe chehnau gamho’a kon’a kahin chopkhom ding, hiche gamsung a hi kahin lepuilut kitding, nangho hamphatna ding kasemdoh ding ahi, ati.
15 Because you have said, YHWH has raised up prophets to us in Babylon,
Nanghon Babylon gamsung’a jong Pakaiyin themgao nakoipeh dan’in asei yuve.
16 surely thus said YHWH concerning the king who is sitting on the throne of David, and concerning all the people that are dwelling in this city, your brothers who did not go forth with you in the expulsion—
Amavang, David lengpa laltouna-a touva vaihompa thudol leh Babylon gam’a kaimang’a umlou, amoh ho, nasopiteu, chule Jerusalem a tuchan’a chengden ho chungchang thudol Pakaiyin hitin aseiye.
17 thus said YHWH of Hosts: Behold, I am sending the sword, the famine, and the pestilence among them, and I have given them up as figs that [are] vile, that are not eaten because of badness.
Hatchungnung Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, ‘Keiman amaho chunga gal kalhun khumsah ding, amaho chu theichangga monlha banga kakoi ding ahi.
18 And I have pursued after them with sword, with famine, and with pestilence, and have given them for a trembling to all kingdoms of the earth, for a curse and for an astonishment, and for a hissing, and for a reproach among all the nations to where I have driven them,
Chule keiman amaho chu gal kadel jamsah ding, kel kalhah sah’a chule natna hise kalan khumsah ding, chule namtin vaipi laha kathethang ding ahiuve. Amaho chu, kadelmangna munjousea chu, miho dia tijat umle kidah umtah hidiu, miho houset leh daithanga umding ahiuve.
19 because that they have not listened to My words—a declaration of YHWH—that I sent to them by My servants the prophets, rising early and sending, and you did not listen—a declaration of YHWH.
Ajeh chu, keiman kathemgao te mangcha-a aheng uva avel vel'a kaseiho, angaipouve. Chule nangho migam’a sohchang a um honjong kathusei nangaideh pouve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye, ati.
20 And you, hear a word of YHWH, all you of the captivity that I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon—
Hijeh chun, Babylon gam’a sohchanga katolmang nangho chengsen, hiche kathusei hohi phaten ngai uvin.
21 thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, concerning Ahab son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying falsehood to you in My Name: Behold, I am giving them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he has struck them before your eyes,
Hatchungnung Pakai, Isreal Pathen chun, nathemgao hou, kamin’a jouva gaothu seiho: Kolaiah chapa Ahab chule Maaseiah chapa Zedekiah, chungchang thu hitin aseiye. Keiman amaho chu, Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar khut’a kapeh doh’a aman nangho mitmu tah’a athagam diu ahi.
22 and because of them a reviling has been taken by all the expulsion of Judah that [are] in Babylon, saying, YHWH sets you as Zedekiah, and as Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted with fire;
Jerusalem’a pat Babylon gam’a sohchang’a umhon, mi koitobang khat chunga agaosap nom phat ule, ‘‘Babylon lengpan ahinglaiya meiya akangot Zedekiah leh Ahab bang in, Pakaiyin navol hen’’ atiuva, kigaosapna-a achinden dingu ahitai.
23 because that they have done folly in Israel, and commit adultery with the wives of their neighbors, and falsely speak a word in My Name that I have not commanded them, and I [am] He who knows and a witness—a declaration of YHWH.
Ajeh chu amahon chonset melsetah aboldoh tauve. Amahon aheng akomteu jinu ho chu jonthanghoi abolpiuvin, Chule kamin in jouthu jeng aseiyun, keiman kaseilou ho ngen aseitauve. Hiche ho jouse melchih a sakhi a keima pang kahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye, ati.
24 And you speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,
Chuujouvin, Pakaiyin Nehelam mi Shemaiah jah’a chun hitin aseiye.
25 Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, saying, Because that you have sent letters in your name to all the people who [are] in Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
Hatchungnung Pakai, Isreal Pathen in hitin aseiye, ‘Nangman nangma thutah'in, Maaseiah chapa Zephaniah thempu chu, lekha nathot in chule Jerusalem a chengho leh thempu ho jong hiche lekhathot chu nathot in, Nangman Zephaniah jah’a,
26 YHWH has made you priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, for there being inspectors of the house of YHWH over every man [who] is mad and making himself a prophet, and you have put him in the stocks and in the pillory.
Pakaiyin, Jehoiada thempu khel’a nangma napansah ahitan, Pakai Houin sunga thuneiya napan ding ahitai. Tua chu, nalah uva mingol ho themgaova kilep’a thuseiho jouse chu, thihkol opeh’a thihkhaova hendinga, napansah ahi.
27 And now, why have you not pushed against Jeremiah of Anathoth, who is making himself a prophet to you?
Chuti ahileh, ibol’a Anathoth khomi Jeremiah chu, napho’a nasuh tanglou ham?
28 Because that he has sent to us [in] Babylon, saying, It [is] long, build houses and abide; and plant gardens and eat their fruit.”
Ajeh chu Jeremiah chun, hilanga Babylon gam’a sohchangho heng’a lekha ahinthot in, ‘‘Nangho nasohchannau hi phat sottah hiding ahi. Hijeh chun in kisah unlang cheng uvin, chule Honlei kibol uvin lang hon-ga jong neuvin,” tin ahinseiye, ati.
29 And Zephaniah the priest reads this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
Hichun Zephaniah thempupan hiche lekhathot chu Jeremiah themgao kom’a achoiyin, ajah a asimpeh tai.
30 And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah, saying,
Chuin Pakaiyin Jeremiah henga hitin aseiye.
31 “Send to all the expulsion, saying, Thus said YHWH concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because that Shemaiah prophesied to you, and I have not sent him, and he causes you to trust on falsehood,
Babylon a sohchang ho jouse ding in lekha thot inlang, hitin seipeh in: Pakaiyin Shemaiah leh achilhahte chung chang thu, hitin aseiye. Kei Pakaiyin Shemaiah leh achilhahte chu talen kamatsah teiding ahi. Ijeh inem itileh, keiman kasollou pa, ama themgaova kiseiya, jouthua nangho nalhep uva natahsan sah u ahi.
32 therefore, thus said YHWH: Behold, I am seeing after Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and after his seed, he has none dwelling in the midst of this people, nor does he look on the good that I am doing to My people,” a declaration of YHWH, “for he has spoken apostasy against YHWH.”
Hijeh a chu, keiman ama leh achilhahte talen kamatsah ding ahiuve. Hiche mite hin, kamite dinga katep thilpha kabol dingho amulou dingu ahi. Ajeh chu, aman keiman doumah aboltai.” Tin Pakaiyin aseiye, ati.
