Jeremiah 17
1 The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, [and] with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;
Pakaiyin aseiye, “Judahte chonset hi, thih-mol hemtah khat’a kijih’a, chule songmantam ning-hem khat’a kijih’a, song bang’a tah alungsung uva chu kijihlut peh’a, chule amaicham phung ningho’a kigeilult peh ahitauve’’ ati.
2 whilst their children remember their altars and their Asherim by the green trees upon the high hills.
Molvum tin leh thingphung tin’a, asemdoh u milim doi pathen maicham leh Ahsherah pathenu melchihna kitunna min jouse, achateu kisen acheuvin chibai agaboh jiuve.
3 O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures for a spoil, [and] thy high places, because of sin, throughout all thy borders.
Hijeh’a chu, nagamsung uva nahaona jouseu leh nakholdoh jouseu, chuleh na maicham phung jouseu chu, nachonset jeh uva, namelmateu khut’a kapehdoh diu nahitauve.
4 And thou, even of thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger which shall burn for ever.
Chule nagoulo dinga kapehdohsa jong chu nangma khut’a kon’a kitoldoh’a nalhaso ding ahi. Keiman namelmate khut’a kapehdoh ding, nangman nahetkhah louhel gam’a sohchang a naumding ahi. Ajeh chu, kalunghanna meikou bangin akou jengtan, aitih’a kou jing ding ahitai.
5 Thus saith the LORD: Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
Pakaiyin aseiye, “Pakaiya kon’a alungthim kiheimanga, mihem’a kisonga chuleh mihem thahat kisonpi hochu gaosap changhen, ati.
6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.
Hitobang michu, nelgam’a hamphung keh tobangbep ahiuvin, kinepna ding ima aneipouve. Amaho chu gamthip leigo lah’a cheng hidiu, mihem chenna theilou chilei lah’a cheng hidiu ahi.
7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
Amavang, koi hileh, Pakaiya kingaiya, chule akinepna leh akisonna Pakai hijingpa chu anunnom ahi.
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out his roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat cometh, but his leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
Amaho chu luipanga thingphung keh tobangm twi lah’a thuhtah’a ajung kholut’a hingjing tobang ahiuve. Hitobang thingphung chun, nipilai nisat ding leh gotwi lhahlou ding agingpoi. Aphatseh in ana ahingjing in chule aphatchan agadoh jing in ahi, ati.
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is desperately sick: who can know it?
Mihem lungsung hi, adang jouse sanga phatlouna leh lheplhahna dimset a, sea ahitai. Mihem lungsung hekhen them ding koiham?
10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
Amavang, kei Pakaiyin miho lunggil jouse kakhol toh jin, achonnau dungjuiyin kape cheh jin ahi.
11 As the partridge that gathereth [young] which she hath not brought forth, so is he that getteth riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool.
Adihlouva sum mkua haodohpa chu, athah louhel midang twi oppeh tobang ahi. Ama chu ahin hoilai tah’a, ahaona ho hung'ah mang ding; Achaina le, achunga vaichatna leh ngolna hung chu ding ahi.
12 A glorious throne, [set] on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
Amavang, na laltouna tonsot’a umjing chu, sangtah le loupitah ahin, keihon nangma chibai kaboh jing uve.
13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed; they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
Vo Pakai, Israel mite kinepna! Nanga kon’a kiheimanga nadalha ho abon'uva kijumso diu ahi. Ajeh chu, amahon Pakai anungsun’uva, hinna twinah jong adalhah tah jeh’un, amaho leivui lah a kivui diu ahitai.
14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
Vo Pakai, keima neidam sah in, chutile damtheng tange, neihuhhing in chutileh hinna tahbeh kachan ding ahi. Chuteng keiman nang jeng bou kavahchoi ding nahi.
15 Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now.
Vetan, mihon ei-enghouvun, kajah’a “Pakaiya kon naphondoh ho chu iti hitam? Ibol’a nathusei ho guilhung lou ham?’’ atiuve.
16 As for me, I have not hastened from being a shepherd after thee; neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was before thy face.
Pakai, namite chingtup’a neipansahna katong jing e. Namite chunga thohgimna alhun ding kadeipoi. Kakamsung sohsa kathusei ho abon’a nahetsoh ahi.
17 Be not a terror unto me: thou art my refuge in the day of evil.
Pakai, kichat tijat umtah in neibol hih in! Ajeh chu nikhophalou hunglhun nia, kakiselna leh kakinepna nangbou nahi.
18 Let them be ashamed that persecute me, but let not me be ashamed; let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
Keima bolsea pangho chunga jum le ja lhunsah in, Amavang keiman jum le ja kathoh ding ho’a konin neihuh doh in. Amaho chung joh’a tijat naleh manthahna, alenia nasajon lhunsah in.
19 Thus said the LORD unto me: Go, and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
Pakaiyin kajah’a hitin aseiye, “Chenlang Jerusalem khopi kelkot phung jousea gadingin. Amasan Judah lengte lut leh potna kelkot’a gadingin; chujoule kelkot dangho jong gakhol suh in.’’
20 and say unto them, Hear ye the word of the LORD, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates;
Miho jouse henga seiyin, “Judah lengte leh Jerusalem a cheng Judah mite jouse, hiche hi, Pakai thusei ahi, ngaiyun.’’
21 Thus saith the LORD: Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Nahinkho diuvin kigingphauvin, kasei hi ngaiyun. Sabbath nikhon Jerusalem kelkot ho’a, na sumkol veinau thilho pohlut leh pohdoh bol hih un.
22 neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work: but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers;
Sabbath nikho’n nangma insung cheh’a jong, natong hih un. Amavang, napu napateu henga thupeh kapehsa bangin, Sabbath nikho chu atheng in nit jing un.’’
23 But they hearkened not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction.
Ahinlah, amahon kathusei hi angaipouve. Louchal tah in aum uvin, kathupeh jouse donlouvin akoi uve.
24 And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but to hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Amavang, nanghon kathupeh chengse najui uva, Sabbath nikho chu theng tah’a nanit dingu ahi. Hiche nikhole kelkot dunga thil napoh le lou diu, chule na natohlou diu ahi.
25 then shall there enter in by the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.
Chutengle, lengho leh achapateu kelkot hoa chu lutle potle jing diu, chule leng David laltouna chu alah uva umjing ding ahi. Lengho leh achapateu chu kangtalai leh sakol chunga tou’uva, Judah mipite toh kilhonlut le jing diu ahitai.
26 And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places round about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowland, and from the mountains, and from the South, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and oblations, and frankincense, and bringing [sacrifices of] thanksgiving, unto the house of the LORD.
Chutah le, Jerusalem kimvel’a kon, Judah gamsung leh Benjamin gamsung khopi jousea kon, thinglhang gam’a kon, chule Negep gam’a kon in, mipi tamtah hung kikhom uvintin, amahon govam thilto, kilhaina gamtha, chang le bego thilto chule thangvahna thilto tampi, Pakai houin sung a ahinpohlut diu ahi.
27 But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
Amavang, nanghon kathusei na ngaidauva, chule Sabbath nikho chu atheng’a nanit lou’uleh; Chule Sabbath nikho’a jong, Jerusalem kelkot dunga nikho dang banga, nathil hou napohlut leuleh; Veuvin, keiman kelkot phung dunga mei kahal ding, hichua leng inpiho geiya akahlhah ding, koiman aphelmit joulou hel ding ahi,’’ati.
