< Jeremiah 42 >

1 And they come near—all the heads of the forces, and Johanan son of Kareah, and Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even to the greatest—
Hichun gal lamkai jouse, Kareah chapa Johanan leh Hoshaiah chapa Jezariah jaonan, chule mipite jouse aneopen’a pat alenpen geiyin, Jeremiah kom ahin naiyun.
2 and they say to Jeremiah the prophet, “Please let our supplication fall before you, and pray for us to your God YHWH for all this remnant; for we have been left a few out of many, as your eyes see us;
Amahon Jeremiahthemgaopa jah’a “Keiho ding in Pakai na-Pathen kom’a nei taopeh un. Nang in namu hi ahi, simkham lou keiho cheng, lhomcha bouhi dalhah’a um kahitauve. Keiho hi masang’a toh tekah thei kahitapouve.
3 and your God YHWH declares to us the way in which we walk, and the thing that we do.”
Keiho neitaopeh un, ajeh chu, Pakai na-Pathen chun kachena diu leh kaboldiu, eihiltei ding’u ahi,” atiuve.
4 And Jeremiah the prophet says to them, “I have heard: behold, I am praying to your God YHWH according to your words, and it has come to pass, the whole word that YHWH answers you, I declare to you—I do not withhold a word from you.”
Jeremiah in adonbut in, “Aphai, nanghon nangeh bang un, Pakai na-Pathen u heng’a keima taoving’e. Chule Pakaiyin nangho ding’a ahinsei chanchu, imlou hel’a kaseipeh ding nahiuve,” ati.
5 And they have said to Jeremiah, “YHWH is against us for a true and faithful witness, if—according to all the word with which your God YHWH sends you to us—we do not do so.
Hichun amahon Jeremiah jah’a, “Keiho ding’a Pakai na-Pathen in nangkom’a ahinsei bang bang’a katoh louva ahile, Pakai chu kitah tah in kachung uva sakhin pang jeng hen.
6 Whether [it is] good or evil, to the voice of our God YHWH, to whom we are sending you, we listen; because it is good for us when we listen to the voice of our God YHWH.”
Apha hihen aphalou hijongle, keihon Pakai i-Pathen u thusei chu kangai diu ahi. Ajeh chu keihon nangma Pathen heng’a taoding’a kasol’u nahi. Chule keihon ama thu kangaiyu leh keiho ding’a imajouse apha hiding ahi,” atiuve.
7 And it comes to pass, at the end of ten days, that there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah,
Nisom jouvin, Pakaiyin Jeremiah heng’a thu ahinsei yin,
8 and he calls to Johanan son of Kareah, and to all the heads of the forces that [are] with him, and to all the people, from the least even to the greatest,
Hichun Jeremiah in Kareah chapa Johanan leh adang galbol lamkai ho jouse, chule mipi ho jouse chu, aneopen’a pat alenpen geiyin, abonchauvin akoukhom soh keiyin,
9 and he says to them, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel, to whom you sent me, to cause your supplication to fall before Him:
Amaho jah’a nanghon Pakai Israel Pathen heng’a na ngaichat u thum ding’a neisol’u ahin, Ama chun hitin aseiye.
10 If you certainly dwell in this land, then I have built you up, and I do not throw down; and I have planted you, and I do not pluck up; for I have relented concerning the calamity that I have done to you.
Nangho hiche gamsung’a hin chengden uvin. Nangho lungdetteh a nachen den ule, keiman nangho kaphu detdiu, kabodoh louhel ding nahiuve. Ajeh chu keiman nachung uva thilse kabolsa chengse chu phamo kasan, kalung kakheltai, ati.
11 Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, whom you are afraid of; do not be afraid of him—a declaration of YHWH—for I [am] with you, to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
“Nanghon Babylon lengpa chu kicha hih un, Ajeh chu keiman nangho ka umpiuva, ama thahat a kon’a kahuhdoh ding nahiuve,” tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
12 And I give mercies to you, and he has pitied you, and caused you to return to your own ground.
Keiman nangho ka khoto jal uva chu, amatah in nangho nahepi thei nading uva, hepina lungthim kapeh ding, chutengle aman nangho nagam sung uva nachensah diu ahi.
13 And if you are saying, We do not dwell in this land—not to listen to the voice of your God YHWH,
Amavang, nanghon Pakai na-Pathen’u thusei hi nangaidauva, keiho hiche gamsung’a chengpou ving’e natiuva;
14 saying, No; but we enter the land of Egypt, that we see no war, and do not hear the sound of a horn, and are not hungry for bread; and we dwell there—
Keiho Egypt gam’a cheuving ting, gal kisat umlouna chule gilkel thoh louna, chu kom’a gacheng tauving’e, natiuleh,
15 And now, therefore, hear a word of YHWH, O remnant of Judah! Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: If you really set your faces to enter Egypt, and have gone to sojourn there,
Pakai thusei hi phaten ngaiyun, “Nangho Judah mite dalhah’a um amoh chengse, Thaneipen Pakai, Israel Pathen chun hitin aseiye.” “Nangho nacheuva Egypt gam’a chu, nanghon nagin gin’u gal kisat
16 then it has come to pass, the sword that you are afraid of, overtakes you there, in the land of Egypt; and the hunger, because of which you are sorrowful, cleaves after you there in Egypt, and there you die.
Chuche gam’a chu, nanghon nagin gin’u gal kisat chun nahin phahdiu, chule nakichat pen’u kellha chun nanung’u ahin juipeh ding ahi. Chutengle nangho hiche gam’a chu nathiden ding’u ahi.
17 Thus are all the men who have set their faces to enter Egypt to sojourn there; they die—by sword, by hunger, and by pestilence, and there is not a remnant and an escaped one to them, because of the calamity that I am bringing in on them;
Koi hijongle, Egypt gam’a chea chengden ding’a kigo ho jouse chung’a, hiche hamsetna chu chuding ahi. Nangho gal’a nathidiu, kelthoh a nathidiu chule natna hsea nathigam diu ahi. Chuteng keiman kalhunsah hiche hamsetna-a kon’a ajamdoh koimacha umlou helding ahi,” ati.
18 for thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: As My anger and My fury have been poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so My fury is poured out on you in your entering Egypt, and you have been for an execration, and for an astonishment, and for a reviling, and for a reproach, and you do not see this place anymore.
Thaneipen Pakai Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye, “Jerusalem mite chung’a kalungsatna hoise kabuh lhah khum bang’a, Egypt gam’a gachenglut nangho jouse chung’a jong kabuhlhah khum ding ahi. Chuteng, nangho thet umtah, tijat umtah, gaosap chengle miho nuisat nahidiu ahi. Chule nanghon a itih’a nagam sung’u namukit lou diu ahi.
19 YHWH has spoken against you, O remnant of Judah, do not enter Egypt: certainly know that I have testified against you today;
Ngaiyuvin, Vo Judah mite dalhah a umho! Pakaiyin aseiye. Nangho Egypt gam’a che hih uvin. Tunia nangho kahilchah nau thupeh hi suhmil ding gohih beh un.
20 for you have showed yourselves perverse in your souls, for you sent me to your God YHWH, saying, Pray for us to our God YHWH, and according to all that our God YHWH says, so declare to us, and we have done [it];
Ajeh chu, nanghon Pakai na-Pathen u kom’a nangaichat u thum’a keima neisol’u chun, ipi hijongle Pakaiyin asei jouse chu keihon bol jeng’u ving’e, natiuvin. Ahivang in nalung theng pouve.
21 and I declare to you today, and you have not listened to the voice of your God YHWH, and to anything with which He has sent me to you.
Hichun, imchep beihel in Pakai thusei jouse nangho kaseipeh tauve. Ahivang in, nanghon Pakai na-Pathen’u thupeh hochu, khatcha nangai pouve.
22 And now, certainly know that by sword, by famine, and by pestilence you die, in the place that you have desired to go to sojourn there.”
Hijeh chun, keiman nangho kicheh tah’a kaseipeh nahiuve. Nangho Egypt gamsung’a chu, chemjam’a nathidiu, kelthoh’a nathidiu, chule natna hisea nathi gamdiu ahi,” ati.
