Jeremiah 8
1 “At that time,” A declaration of YHWH, “They bring the bones of the kings of Judah, And the bones of its princes, And the bones of the priests, And the bones of the prophets, And the bones of inhabitants of Jerusalem, Out of their graves,
Pakaiyin aseiye, hiche nikho chuleh melmaten lhankhuh asuhset uva, Judah lengte leh avaipoteu gulechang ho, thempu leh themgaote gulechang ho, chuleh Jerusalem’a chengte athisaho gulechang ho, lhankhuh’a kon’a kilaidoh ding ahi.
2 And have spread them to sun, and to moon, And to all the host of the heavens, that they have loved, And that they have served, And that they have walked after, And that they have sought, And to which they have bowed themselves, They are not gathered, nor buried, They are for dung on the face of the ground.
Gulechang ho chu, amahon adeitahuva akilhen’u, anajen leu chuleh chibai aboh’u, a Pathen’u nisa leh lha chuleh ahsiho angsunga, tollhanga kithethang diu ahi. Hitia chu, gulechang ho jouse chu, kichomkhom kittalouding, chuleh avela kivuikit talou ding, tollhanga amonlha dinga kitheyal ding ahiuve.
3 And death is chosen rather than life By all the remnant who are left of this evil family, In all the remaining places, to where I have driven them,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
Hiche nam giloute lah’a, ahingdoh amoh chengse chun, hin sanga thi adeijoh diu ahi. Kei thaneipen Pakaiyin kasei ahitai, ati.
4 “And you have said to them, Thus said YHWH: Do they fall, and not rise? Does he turn back, and not return?
Chuin Jeremiah in mipite henga aseitai, ‘Pakaiyin aseiye, mi alhuh teng thoudoh kitji hilou ham? Mi khattou achena lampi dihlou ahin hetdoh teng, ama chu hung kinungle kitji hilou ham?
5 Why has this people of Jerusalem Turned back—a continuous backsliding? They have kept hold on deceit, They have refused to turn back.
Achutileh ipi dinga kamite hi manthahna lampia vahmang diu hitauvem? Ipijeh’a Jerusalem mite hung kile kit ding dau ham? Amahon akijou lhepnau chu atuhchah un, ahung kile kit nompouve.
6 I have given attention, indeed, I listen, They do not speak right, No man has sighed over his wickedness, Saying, What have I done? Everyone has turned to his courses, As a horse is rushing into battle.
Keiman akihounau kangailhi jing in, thudih aseidoh u kaja hih hel e. Alah uva khatbeh jong, aphatmona lunggimpi um uvem? Khatchan jong, ibol’a hibang lom’a phamo kahim, atipouve. Amitakip in, ama ama lunglam cheh in setna lampia, galmun jon’a lhei-jangkhai tah sakol abang gamtauve.
7 Even a stork in the heavens has known her seasons, And turtle, and swallow, and crane, Have watched the time of their coming, And—My people have not known the judgment of YHWH.
Vanlaijol’a lengle vakang in kichouphat akihet in, vakhu leh pelpalep chuleh vakeng sang injong, amaho kichonphat akihetuvin, kumseh in aphatchan akile kit jiuve. Ahivangin kamiten ima nahepouve. Amahon Pakai chondan thu kapehsa jong ahe tapouve.
8 How do you say, We [are] wise, And the Law of YHWH [is] with us? Surely, behold, it has worked falsely, The false pen of scribes.
Itidan’a, nanghon keiho miching kahiuve, Pakai danthu keiho kom’a aume, natitheiyu ham? Nahil uva pang danthu them hon, thujou jeng ajihlut gam’u hilou ham?
9 The wise have been ashamed, They have been frightened, and are captured, Behold, they kicked against a word of YHWH, And what wisdom do they have?
Nahil’uva pang michingho kijumso gamdiu, ngolhoi tah thang’a chu ohdensoh ahitauve. Ajeh chu amahon Pakai thusei donlouvin akoitauve. Asunguva itobang chihna aneiyu hitam?
10 Therefore, I give their wives to others, Their fields to dispossessors, For from the least even to the greatest, Everyone is gaining dishonest gain, From prophet even to priest, everyone is dealing falsely.
Hijeh’a chu keiman ajiteu pasal dang kapeh ding, chuleh alou jouseu jong gamchom mi kapeh ding ahi. Amaho aneopen’a pat alenpen geiyin, kilosetna apumdim’un, lamdih louva sum mu ding jeng agel uve. Chuleh kalhacha themgao holeh thempuho geiyin lepthol in thil aboltauve.
11 And they heal the breach of the daughter of My people slightly, Saying, Peace, peace! And there is no peace.
Kamite kisuhkhahna maha nasatah chu, amahon bailam tah’a damdoh din agel uve. Chamna bon umlouva, amahon cham leh lungmon aum’e, atiuvin ahi.
12 They were ashamed when they did abomination! Indeed, they are not ashamed at all, And they have not known blushing, Therefore, they fall among falling ones, They stumble in the time of their inspection, said YHWH.
Hitobang thet um tahtah ho aboluva, amaho chu jahcha louvu ham? Ajahcha naisai pouve. Jum leh ja jong ahepouve. Hijeh chun, amaho chu alhulhamsa ho lah’a kijam diu ahi. Keiman amaho chu talen kamatsah’a kaphuh lhuh ding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
13 I utterly consume them,” A declaration of YHWH, “There are no grapes in the vine, Indeed, there are no figs in the fig tree, And the leaf has faded, And the strength they have passes from them.
Keiman kamite kahin chopkhom ding ahi. Lengpithei phungho leh theichang phungho chu aga beisoh ding, chuleh theiga phungho jouse ana geiya goplha ding ahiuve. Keiman kamite kapehsa ijakai abon’a mangsoh hel ding ahi. Keima thaneipen Pakaiyin kasei ahitai, ati.
14 Why are we sitting still? Be gathered, and we go into the fortified cities, And we are silent there, For our God YHWH has made us silent, Indeed, He causes us to drink water of gall, For we have sinned against YHWH.
Chutah leh, mipiten hitia asei diu, ‘Ibol’a thi ngah’a hilaiya eiho imoh umthim diu ham? Hungun, kulpi kikhaikhum khopi ho del’u hitin, chumun’a chun gathikhom’u hite. Ijeh inem itileh, Pakai i-Pathen’u chun eiho manthahna dinga thupeh abol ahitan, chuleh idon diuva thina gutwi eikoipeh’u ahitai. Ajeh chu eiho Pakai dounan ichonse behseh tauve.
15 Looking for peace—and there is no good, For a time of healing, and behold—terror.
Eihon chamna ingaichauvin, ahivangin cham leh lungmon aumdehpoi. Eihon kisuhdam nading phat ingah’un, ahinlah kichat tijatna jeng bou imuve.
16 The snorting of his horses has been heard from Dan, From the voice of the neighings of his mighty ones, All the land has trembled, And they come in and consume the land and its fullness, The city and the inhabitants in it.
Melmate sakol ho nah-khon gin, Dan gam’a kon in akijatai. A sakolteu huhpen gin chun gamsung pumpi ahot ling soh jenge. Amaho chu igamsungu leh asunga umjouse sumang dinga hungkon ahi, atiuve.
17 For behold, I am sending serpents among you, Vipers that have no charmer, And they have bitten you,” A declaration of YHWH.
Keiman hiche namelmateu chu, gu hattah suhngoi theilou gul banga, nalahuva kahin lhalut ding ahi. Amaho chun nachuh diu chuleh nathi diu ahi. Keima thaneipen Pakaiyin kasei ahitai.
18 My sorrow [is] beyond comfort, My heart [is] sick in me.
Ka lunggim hesoh nahi, boldam thei ding ahitapoi. Ka lungchang ana behseh jenge.
19 Behold, the voice of a cry of the daughter of my people from a far-off land, Is YHWH not in Zion? Is her King not in her? “Why have they provoked Me with their carved images, With the vanities of a foreigner?”
Kamite ka- ogin khu ngaiuvin; Gamsung pumpi akithonge. ‘Pakaiyin Jerusalem anungsun hitam? Jerusalem lengpa hoilamba hitam? Atiuve. Pakaiyin adonbut in, ‘Ipi dinga ba doilim semthu gamdang mite Pathen ho chibai naboh’uva, kei neiphin lunghang’u ham? ati.
20 Harvest has passed, summer has ended, And we have not been saved.
Mipi chu hatah in akap’un, ‘Chang-at phat kichaiya, chuleh nipilai jong beita, eiho la huhdoh in ium hih laiyuve’ atiuve.
21 For a breach of the daughter of my people I have been broken, I have been dark, Astonishment has seized me.
Kamite kimavona chu keima lungthim kimavona ahin, keima kaple maovin kaumin, kagimlhehtai.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why has the health of the daughter of my people not gone up?
Gilead gam’a aboldam nading damdoi umlou ham? Hichea chu louthem jong umlou hitam? Ahileh, ibol’a kamite maha chu kidamsah lou ham?
