Jeremiah 18
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
Pakaiyin Jeremiah heng’a hitin aseiye,
2 "Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause you to hear my words."
“Beldengpa in-ah khun gachesuh in, chukom’a chu keiman najah’a thu kaseiding ahi,’’ ati.
3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and look, he was making a work on the wheels.
Chuin, Pakaiyin asei bang chun, keima beldengpan kang apeija pontho tah’a bel asempet katoh in ahi.
4 When the vessel that he made of the clay was marred in the hand of the potter, he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
Aman abel denchu, adeibang tah’a asodoh louteng, bellei chun asugoiyin, thilchom in asemdoh jitai.
5 Then the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Pakaiyin kahenga hitin aseiye,
6 "'House of Israel, can't I do with you as this potter?' says Jehovah. 'Look, as the clay in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand, house of Israel.'
Vo Israel, beldengpan leingan chu adei deiya asemdohji banga, keiman nanghohi kabolmo nahiuvem? Bellei chu beldengpa thu thua asembang a, nangho jong kakhut’a um nahiuve.
7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy it;
Keiman namkhat ham ahiloule lenggam khat ham chu, ajung bodoh’a suhmang ding kati teng,
8 if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turn from their evil, I will change my mind about the disaster that I thought to do to them.
Hiche nam mite chun, agitlounauva kon’a lung ahin heikituva, ahung kilehei kit ule; Keiman achunguva boldinga kagelhuhsa thilsea kon’a, kalung kakhel kitding ahi.
9 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
Alangkhat a, namkhat ham ahiloule lenggam khat ham chu, kasemphat a kaphudet ding ahi tia, kaphondohsa ahitai.
10 if they do that which is evil in my sight, that they not obey my voice, then I will repent of the good, with which I said I would benefit them.
Ahivanga, hiche mite chun, kamitmua thilse leh thilphalou abol uva, kathusei angailou ule, kalung kakhelkit jing ding, phatthei kabohlou heldiu ahi, ati.
11 Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, 'Thus says Jehovah: Look, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return now everyone from his evil way, and amend your ways and your doings.'
Hitijeh chun, tun chenlang, Judahte leh Jerusalem mite gaseipeh in: “Pakaiyin aseiye, Nangho douna kathilgon, nachunguva talen kamatsah ding koncha ahitai. Hijeh chun nangho ami takip chu, nagitlounauva kon in hung kilehei kit uvin chuleh kisemphauvin,’’ati.
12 But they say, 'It is in vain; for we will walk after our own devices, and we will do everyone after the stubbornness of his evil heart.'"
Ahinlah amahon adonbut uvin, “Hichu pannabei naphat mansah ahibouve. Keiho kalungtah nom ule lungtah ungting, thilse kadei ule kadei dei boltah tangu, ipi khoh am?’’ atiuve.
13 Therefore thus says Jehovah: "Ask now among the nations, who has heard such things; the virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing.
Hijeh chun Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Namtin vaipi lah’a jong gadong leuvin. Hitobang thuhi ahekha koi um am? Kachanu deitah Israel in thil kidah um tahtah aboltai.
14 Shall the snow of Lebanon fail from the rock of the field? Shall the cold waters that flow down from afar be dried up?
Lebanon molsang vum’a buhbang beikha a, chule gamla tah a hiche molsang ho’a kon’a hung longdoh twidapjen vadung ho kang kha am?
15 For my people have forgotten me, they have burned incense to false gods; and they have been made to stumble in their ways, in the ancient paths, to walk in byways, in a way not built up;
Ahinlah, kamiten kitahna aneipouve. Amahon keima einungsun’un, pannabei semthu doilim hounan gim namtwi ahaltauve. Achena diu lamlen chu kiselhuhnan aneiyun, lampi dihlouva alamlha gamtauve.
16 to make their land an astonishment, and a perpetual hissing; everyone who passes thereby shall be astonished, and shake his head.
Hijeh’a chu, agamsung u akeova kijam ding ahi. Ajeh chu, amahon thil kidah umtah tampi aboltauve. Agamsungu jotpa tapou tija lihdiu, chule alu-u athinkhum diu ahi.
17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity."
Nisolam khohuiyin leivui vanpil thena anei banga, keiman kamite chu, amelmateu masanga, kathecheh gamdiu ahi. Chule hesoh genthei, hamsetna ato niuleh, keiman kanung kangatding, kapanhu louhel diu ahi,’’ati.
18 Then they said, "Come, and let us make plans against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us strike him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words."
Hichun amahon aseiyun, “Hung un, Jeremiah hi alonaje ding khat gongu hite. Eiho eihil uva eiphoh diu thempu ho, miching ho chule themgao ho tampi ineinauve. Eihon hichepa hi ingaichapouve, athusei ho ngapih pou hitin, ama douna thujoh haseiyin seiyu hite,’’ atiuve.
19 "Give heed to me, Jehovah, and listen to the voice of those who contend with me.
Vo Pakai, neikhoh sah inlang nei panpin, Kamelma ten kachunga eidounau thu asei chengseu hi, neihet peh in, katao ahi.
20 Shall evil be recompensed for good? For they have dug a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before you to speak good for them, to turn away your wrath from them.
Thilpha chu thilsea kilethuh angai mong ham? Amahon kathina ding kokhuh alaiyun, kenla amaho dingin na-ang sunga taona kaneiyun; Achunguva nalunghan achuh lou nadin kappum in kataopeh in ahi. Nangin hingeldoh tei teiyin.
21 Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and give them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives become childless, and widows; and let their men be slain of death, and their young men struck of the sword in battle.
Hijeh chun, achateu kel thohsah inlang, Amaho abonchauvin chemjam in lousah in. Ajinuteu cha neilouvin abonchauvin meithai soh uhen, Tehse hou natna in thiu hen, chule golhang ho galmun’a chemjam in satgam uhen.
22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, when you shall bring a troop suddenly on them; for they have dug a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.
Hetman louvin, amaho chu gal miten lhunkhum uhen, A-injouseuva ka le mao ogin kijasoh kei hen. Ajeh chu amahon keima thina ding kokhuh alaiyun, chule kalam lhahna-a thang akam leleuve.
23 Yet, Jehovah, you know all their counsel against me to kill me; do not forgive their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from your sight; but let them be overthrown before you; deal you with them in the time of your anger."
Vo Pakai, kei thana dinga athilgon’u abonchan nangman nahei. Athilse bol’u chulnampih hih in, chule achonsetnau jong ngaidam hih beh in. Nalunghan nachun amaho hi bolgim inlang, na-ang sunga thisah jeng in, kati ahi.
