Jeremiah 6
1 “Strengthen yourselves, sons of Benjamin, From the midst of Jerusalem, And blow a horn in Tekoa, And lift up a flame over Beth-Haccerem, For evil has been seen from the north, And great destruction.
Vo Benjamin chate, nahindohna diuvin jamun, Jerusalema kon in jamdoh’un! Tekoa mun’a sumkon mutuvin lang, Beth-hakkerem mun’a melchihna ponlap khaidoh un. Ajeh chu sahlam gam’a konin melma thahhattah ahungin, ama chu manthahna nasatah toh ahung kitollut e.
2 I have cut off the lovely and delicate one, The daughter of Zion.
Vo Jerusalem, kachanu melhoitah nahi. Hijongleh keiman nang kasuhmang ding nahi.
3 Shepherds and their droves come to her, They have struck tents by her all around, They have each fed [in] his own station.”
Kelngoi chinghon khopi pam kim’a ponbuh akison bangun, nagalmiten khopi kimvela pansauva nachenkhum diu ahi. Amahon ama deina cheh mun’a panmun akisemdiu ahi.
4 “Sanctify the battle against her, Rise, and we go up at noon. Woe to us, for the day has turned, For the shades of evening are stretched out,
Amahon asam’un,”galsat din kigongun, sunkim tahleh idelkhum diu ahi.” Atiuve. Ahinlah, ahipoi ageibehseh tai, nisa lhumkon ahin, kho thimding ahitai.
5 Rise, and we go up by night, And we destroy her palaces.”
Jan tengleh delkhumjo taute. Chuteng leng inpi jouse isuh chimdiu ahi,” atiuve.
6 For thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Cut down her wood, And pour out a mound against Jerusalem, She [is] the city to be inspected, She [is] full of oppression in her midst.
Ajeh chu Pakai van Pathen in hitin aseiye: Thingphung ho chu phuhlhuvin lang, galdouna pal sem un. Jerusalem kulpi douna gal-pal sep sanguvin. Hiche khopi hi agilou behseh tauve, talen kamatsah ding ahi,” ati.
7 As the digging of a well, is [for] its waters, So she has dug [for] her wickedness, Violence and spoil is heard in her, Sickness and striking [are] continually before My face.
Ama nun twisamphunga twi hung putdoh bangin, gitlouna ho athethang jenge. Akhopi sung jouse jong pumhat leh manthahna adimin. Amanu kimavo naleh athohna ho keiman kamu jing e.
8 Be instructed, O Jerusalem, Lest My soul be alienated from you, Lest I make you a desolation, A land [that is] not inhabited.”
Vo Jerusalem, ka gihsalna hi ngaiyin! Achutilouleh keiman nangma ahomkeuva kadalhah ding nahi. Phaten ngaijin, keiman nangma kho-gemsa kasosah’a chuleh mihem koima chennalou gam kasosah ding nahi,” ati.
9 Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “They surely glean, as a vine, the remnant of Israel, Put your hand back, as a gatherer to the baskets.”
Pakai Van Pathen in hitin aseiye, Lengpiga atkhompan ahaimila anuseho, avela aphung tilchen’a ahung lokhom soh kit banga, Israelte amoh chengse jong chu avela kichomdoh soh kitdiu ahi, ati.
10 To whom do I speak, and testify, and they hear? Behold, their ear [is] uncircumcised, And they are not able to attend. Behold, a word of YHWH has been to them for a reproach, They do not delight in it.
Keiman koi kom’a gihsalna thu kaseiya, Chuleh koiham kathusei ngaiding? Abil u abonin akisingtan, amahon kho ajatapouve. Amahon Pakai thusei adouvun, chuleh Pakai thu ajuipouve.
11 And I have been filled with the fury of YHWH (I have been weary of containing), “To pour [it] on the suckling in the street, And on the assembly of youths together, For even husband with wife are captured, [The] elderly with one full of days,
Hitijeh chun Pakai lunghanna chu kasunga tun adimtai. Hiche kakhol khol hi kacholtai. “ka lunghanna hi keiman khopi sunga kichem chapangho chunga, khangdong kikhom ho chunga, ajipa leh ajinu chunga, chuleh upa ho leh tehseho chunga kasun lhah ding ahi.
12 And their houses have been turned to others, Fields and wives together, For I stretch out My hand against the inhabitants of the land,” A declaration of YHWH.
A-in hou, alou hou chuleh ajinuteu jouse, abon’a melmate khut’a kapih doh ding ahi. Ajeh chu keiman hiche mite chunga hi kakhuttum kalha ding ahi,” tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
13 “For from their least to their greatest, Everyone is gaining dishonest gain, And from prophet even to priest, Everyone is dealing falsely,
Ajeh chu aneopen’a pat alenpen geiyin, amitakip in lamdih louva phatchomna aholtauve. Themgaoho leh thempuho geiyin jou le nal in thil aboltauvin ahi.
14 And they heal the breach of the daughter of My people slightly, Saying, Peace, peace! And there is no peace.
Amahon kamite chunga maha ho chu imalou tah in ajenpih un. Amahon chamna bon umlouva, ima aboi aumpoi, aphasoh keiye, atiuve.
15 They were ashamed when they did abomination! Indeed, they are not at all ashamed, Indeed, they have not known blushing, Therefore they fall among those falling, In the time I have inspected them, They stumble,” said YHWH.
Amahon kidah um tahtah ho aboldoh tenguleh, jachatna aneilouvu ham? Ajahcha naisaipouve, jum leja helouhel mite ahiuve. Amaho hi alhusa hotoh kijamtha diu ahi. Keiman amaho talen kamatsah tengleh, abonuva kichaihel diu ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
16 Thus said YHWH: “Stand by the ways and see, and ask for paths of old, Where [is] this—the good way? And go in it, And find rest for yourselves. And they say, We do not go.
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Lamsom dunga dinguvin lang nakimvelu veuvin. Lamlui apha, Pathen lampi chu hol uvin, hichea chun cheuvin. Hiche lampi chu juiyun, Chutileh nalungthim kicholding ahi. Ahivangin nanghon hiche lampi chu juipou vinge, natiuve.
17 And I have raised up watchmen for you, Attend to the voice of the horn. And they say, We do not attend.
Keiman nachunguva nangahtup diu kakoiyin: Aman najahuva, sumkon gin phaten ngaiyun’ ati. Ahivangin nanghon, ngainahsah in nakoipouve’ ati.
18 Therefore hear, O nations, and know, O congregation, That which [is] on them.
Hijeh chun, namtin vaipin hichehi ngaiyun, kamite chunga thil hunglhung ding khu hecheh un.
19 Hear, O earth, behold, I am bringing evil on this people, The fruit of their plans, For they gave no attention to My words, And My law—they kick against it.
Leiset pumpin ngaiuvin! Keiman hiche mite chunga manthahna kahinlhut ding ahi. Hiche amaho agitlounau tohga hiding ahi. Ajeh chu amahon kathusei angaipouvin chuleh kathupeh adonpouve.
20 Why [is] this to Me? Frankincense comes from Sheba, And the sweet cane from a far-off land, Your burnt-offerings [are] not for acceptance, And your sacrifices have not been sweet to Me.”
Sheba gam’a kon chuleh gamla tah tah’a kon’a gimnamtwi tah tah maicham’a nahin lhut u chu, ipia pang ding ham? Pumgo thilto nabolu jong kasan lou ding chuleh kilhaina nabol jouseu jong kalunglhaina ahipoi.
21 Therefore, thus said YHWH: “Behold, I give stumbling blocks to this people, And fathers and sons have stumbled against them together, The neighbor and his friend perish.”
Hijeh chun Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Keiman kamite hi alamlhahna jouseuva kipal lhuhna kakoi ding; Apa leh achate kipallhu khomdiu chuleh hengleh kom, gollepai ho jouse jong thikhom diu ahi.
22 Thus said YHWH: “Behold, a people has come from a north country, And a great nation is stirred up from the sides of the earth.
Hijeh chun Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Vetan, sahlam gam’a konin melma nasatah ahung konin, Chuleh gamlatah’a konin jong nadoudiu namtin vaipi ahung kitil dohtai.
23 They take hold of bow and javelin, It [is] fierce, and they have no mercy, Their voice sounds as a sea, And they ride on horses, Set in array as a man of war, Against you, O daughter of Zion.”
Amahon thalpi leh tengcha akichoiyun, amaho chu giloutah leh lungsetna neilouhel ahiuve. Sakol chunga ahung touvun, tampi ahung kitolun, akitol ginu chu twikhanglen kinong gin tobang ahi. Amahon galbol dingdan akisemtoh un, nangma sumang jeng din ahung konuve, vo Jerusalem” ati.
24 We have heard its sound, our hands have been feeble, Distress has seized us, pain as of a travailing woman.
Keihon melmate chung chang thuthang kajatauve. Kichat jeh in thabeiyin kakhutu angoilha jengtai. Dipdam voujang nat in eiphauvin, numei naosonat in aphah bangin kaum gamtauve.
25 Do not go forth to the field, And do not walk in the way, For the enemy has a sword, Fear [is] all around.
Loujaova potdoh dauvin lang, Lampidunga jong vahle hih un! Ajeh chu melmapan chemjam akidop in, munjousea kichat tijat aume.
26 O daughter of my people, Gird on sackcloth, And roll yourself in ashes, Make mourning [as for] an only one, A most bitter lamentation, For the spoiler suddenly comes against us.
Vo kamite, khaodip pon kisil uvin lang, vutlah’a kitangun. Chapa changkhat seh manthahna chunga laina tah’a kap bangin kap un. Ajeh chu hetman louhela misumangpa chu nachunguva hung chuding ahi.
27 “I have given you a watchtower, A fortress among My people, And you know, and have tried their way.
Vo Jeremiah, keiman nangma hi, kamite itobang mong hiuvem, ti hedoh dinga, thih patepna tobanga kasemdoh nahi.
28 All of them are turned aside by apostates, Walking slanderously—bronze and iron, All of them are corrupters.
Amaho hi, doumah bol’a lamkai milouchaltah ahiuvin: Chuleh muntin’ah mi seisea vahle ahiuve. Amaho hi, sum-eng lah thih banga tah’a, Chuleh midangho thilphalou bolsah’a makai ahiuve.
29 The bellows have been burned, The lead has been consumed by fire, A refiner has refined in vain, And the wicked have not been drawn away.
Pumlongin, mei chu akijap amleng in; Ahivangin, hichun thih-eh ho chu alhutjal thengsel dehpoi. Ajeh chu agitlounau chu amangthei dehpoi.
30 They have called them rejected silver, For YHWH has kicked against them!”
Hijeh’a chu, Keiman amaho chu, lahtheilou dangka kati ding ahi. Ajeh chu, keima Pakaiyin amaho chu kapaimang ahitauve, ati.
