< Jeremiah 5 >

1 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, And see I pray you and know and seek out in the broad places thereof, Whether ye can find, a man, Whether there is one Doing justice Demanding fidelity, —That I may pardon her.
Jerusalem khopi sung lampi jousea, dunglhei vailhei unlang, veng ningkoi lah jouse gahol’un. Mihem khatbeh dihtah’a thutan leh lungtheng tah’a thudih hol, namudoh jouleh, keiman ama jal’a akhopi kangaidam ding chuleh kasuhmang luding ahi.
2 Even though they say By the life of Yahweh, Yet in fact falsely, do they swear.
Amahon, Pakai chu aitih’a hingjing ahi, tia akihahsel ji vangun, jou leh nal jengin thu aseijiuvin ahi.
3 O Yahweh! thine own eyes, are they not directed to fidelity? Thou hast smitten them Yet have they not grieved, Thou hast consumed them—They have refused to receive correction, —They have made their faces bolder than a cliff, They have refused to return.
Vo Pakai, nangman thutah jeng navet lhih jeng ahi. Nangin namite chunga nakhut nalhatan, ahivangin amahon nahsah in aneipouve. Nangin amaho nanoigeptan, ahivangin amahon hichu kisuhdihnan asangpouve. Amaichangu song bangin atah sah un, lungkhel ding aumpouve.
4 And, I, said, —Only, poor people, are they, —They act foolishly, For they know not the way of Yahweh, the justice of their God!
Hichun keiman kaseitai,’’ Amahohi vaicha leh tahlelte ima hephalou ahiuve. Amaho’a kon’a ipi apha hungpot dingham? Amahon Pakai lampi ahepouvin, chuleh Pathen danthu jong agel phapouve.
5 I will betake me unto the great men, and will speak, with them! For, they, know the way of Yahweh, the justice of their God! Yea but, they, with one accord have broken the yoke, torn off the bands.
Hijeh chun, keima lamkai vaihomte kom’a gachengting, gaseipeh tange. Ajeh chu amaho beh chun Pakai lampi leh Pathen danthu ho henauvinte,’’ kati. Ahivangin, alamkaiteu jong abep ahiuvin, Pathen namkol aheh bongun chuleh akigahnau khao jong abotten un ahiuve.
6 For this cause, hath the lion out of the forest smitten them, The wolf of the waste plains, preyeth upon them, The leopard, is keeping watch over their cities, Every one that goeth out from thence, is torn in pieces, —For they have multiplied their transgressions, Numerous are their apostasies.
Hiche jeh a chu, gammang lah’a kon hungdoh sakeiyin amaho athadiu. Chuleh nelphaiya kon hungdoh kamkei yin amaho akimatdiu ahi. Lutnun akhopi pam’a chang’un tin, khosunga kon’a potdoh tapou abotel ding ahi. Ijeh inem itileh achonsetnau atamvaltan, chuleh Pathen douna aboldoh u anasa behseh jengtai.
7 How, for this, can I pardon thee? Thine own sons, have forsaken me, And have sworn by No-gods, —When I had fed them to the full, Then committed they adultery, And the house of the unchaste woman, they used to throng:
Hichea hi, keiman nang iti kangaidam ding nahim? Nachate la keiya kon in ajammang sohtauvin, semthu Pathen angsung’a akihahsel jah jah jotauvin ahi. Keiman amaho kavah vaset ahiuvin; Ahivangin amahon jonthanghoi jeng abol'un chuleh notiho inkot’a akijot lut lut jenguvin ahi,’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
8 Lusty, well-fed horses, had they become, Every man unto his neighbour’s wife, would neigh!
Amahohi sakol kivahthau huhtah abangun, amitakip chu aheng-akompa jinu velel’a jonlungpu ngen ahiuve.
9 For these things, shall I not punish? Demandeth Yahweh: Yea on a nation such as this, must not my soul avenge herself?
Hiche mihohi, keiman iti talen matsah louva kalha ding ham? Chuleh hitobang nam mite chung’a hi, keiman iti phu kalahda ding ham? tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
10 Scale ye her walls and destroy, But a full end, do not make, —Remove her tendrils, For not to Yahweh, do, they, belong!
Alengpi leilaiyuva, lengpigui ho agol gol’a kituna lah’a khun, chesuh unlang gasumangun, beihel invang hinlha hih un. Abah chengu abon'in gamallhauvin, ajeh chu amaho hi keiya kon ahipouve.
11 For very treacherously, have the house of Israel and the house of Judah dealt with me, Declareth Yahweh.
Ijeh inem itileh, Israel insung leh Judah insung mite hi, keiya dinga tahsanna beihel ahiuvin chuleh eidouva pang ahitauve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
12 They have acted deceptively against Yahweh, And have said, Not He! Neither shall there come upon us, calamity, Nor sword nor famine, shall we see;
Amahon, Pakai aseilep un, hitin aseiyuve. Aman eiho chunga imacha bol ponte. Ichunguva genthei hesohna hunglhung pontin chuleh gal kisat leh kellhah injong eilhunden pouvinte, atiuvin ahi.
13 But the prophets, shall prove to be wind, And there is no one speaking in them, —Thus, shall it be done to themselves!
Pathen themgao hojong hi ahomkeo bep hiuvin tin, asunguva Pathen thupeh umlou ahitauve. Hijeh a chu, agaothu seidoh’u jong, achunguva chuding ahibouve.
14 Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, God of hosts, Because ye have spoken this word, —Behold me! making my words in thy mouth to be fire, And, this people, —wood, So shall it devour them.
Hijeh chun Pakai van Pathen in hitin aseiye, hiche mite hin hitobang a thu aseijeh’un, keiman kathupeh chengse hi, nakam sunga kon’a meikou banga kasemdoh ding, chuleh mipite chu thinggosa bangdiu, meikou chun akahvam hel diu ahi, ati.
15 Behold me! bringing upon you a nation from afar, O house of Israel, Declareth Yahweh, —A nation invincible, it is, A nation from age-past times, hath it been, A nation whose tongue thou shalt not know, Neither shalt thou understand what it speaketh:
O Israel, keiman gamlatah’a kon’a namkhat nachunguva kahinlhut khum ding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye. Hiche nam mite chu thahattah ahiuvin khanglui laiya pat’a anaumsa mite ahiuve. Aham-apao ujong najahkhahlou hel nam mite ahiuvin, ipi aseiyu jong nahetlouhel nam mite ahiuve.
16 Its quiver, is like an open sepulchre, —They all, are heroes:
Agal manchah hou chu thina lhankot kihonna abang jengin, agalsatteu jong thahattah jeng ahiuve.
17 Then shall it eat thy harvest and thy bread which thy sons and thy daughters should eat, —It shall eat thy flock and thy herd, It shall eat thy vine and thy fig-tree, —It shall destroy thy defenced cities wherein thou, art trusting, with the sword.
Amahon, nalousoh ho leh na anneh ding jouse anehgamdiu, amahon nachapateu leh nachanuteu jong abahgamdiu, amahon nakelngoi hon ho leh nagancha ho jouse anehgamdiu, amahon nalengpiga holeh natheiga ho jouse anehgamdiu, chuleh kulpi nakaikhum uva hoidohna khopia nanei jouseu jong abon’a asuhmang hel diu ahi, ati.
18 Yet, even in those days, Declareth Yahweh, Will I not make of you, a full end.
Hijongleh hitobang nikho jenga jong chu, keima nangho kasuhgam hel loudiu nahiuve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
19 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, For what cause hath Yahweh our God done to us all these things? Then shalt thou say unto them, —As ye forsook me, and served the gods of the foreigner in your own land, So, shall ye serve aliens in a land not your own.
Chuleh namiten, ipi jeh’a Pakai i- Pathen u chun ichunguva hitobang hi abol ham, tia adoh teng uleh, nanghon amaho jah’a hitia naseipeh diu; Nanghon Pakai i-Pathen u chu nadondauvin nangho gamsunga gamdang pathen ho najenleuvin ahi. Hiche jeh’a chu, tua hi, nanghon nahetphah louvu migam’a, nahetlou hel u mite naga jenle diu ahi, tin seipeh in ati.
20 Tell ye this, throughout the house of Jacob, —And let it be heard throughout Judah saying:
Hiche thuhi Israel ho lah’a phongjal unlang chuleh Judah te kom’a gaseiphong un.
21 Hear this, I pray you ye people—foolish and without heart, —Eyes, have they, and see not, Ears, have they, and hear not!
Hiche hi ngaiyun, vo mingol lungthim beiho, mit neiya kho muthei louho chuleh bil neiya kho jathei louho.
22 Even for me, will ye have no reverence? Enquireth Yahweh, And because of me, will ye not be pained? In that though I placed the sand as a bound to the sea, A decree age-abiding, and it should not pass beyond it, —When they would toss themselves Then should they not prevail, When the waves thereof would roar Then should they not pass beyond it,
Nanghon keima neigin louvu ham? Ipi dinga ka-angsung’a tija tah’a kihot hot lou nahiuvem? Keima Pakaiyin, twikhanglen kinong tinkih nading leh aitih’a twiyin akhokhel lou nadingin, twipi pang’a neldi gamgi kakoiye. Twikhanglen twipi chu kinuh ham lah lah henlang kithong jeju jong leh, hiche gamgi hi twiyin akhokhel louding ahi.
23 Yet, this people hath an obstinate and rebellious heart, —They have turned aside, and gone their way;
Ahin hiche mite hi, louchal tah leh doumah bol hattah mite chu ahiuvin, amahon kei eidalhauvin, keiya kon in achemang gamtauvin ahi.
24 Neither have they said in their heart, —Let us we pray you, revere Yahweh our God, Who giveth rain, even the early and the latter, in its season, —The appointed weeks of harvest, he reserveth for us.
Amahon alungthim giltah’uva kon in, Pakai i-Pathen’u gingu hite. Ajeh chu aman aphat cha-a chuh-go hihen khal-go hijongleh eipeh uva; eiho dinga aphatcha a chang-at phat eikoipeh jingpau ahi, tin aseipouve.
25 Your iniquities, have thrust away these things, Yea, your sins, have withholden that which is good from you.
Nagitlouna chengse chun phattheiboh nachan dingho adelmangin, chuleh nachonsetna chengse chun thilpha jouse apaidoh tai.
26 For there have been found among my people lawless men, —One lieth in wait, as with the stooping of fowlers, They have set a trap, they capture men:
Ijeh inem itileh, kamitelah’a migilouteho achengtauve. Gamleng hon sa achanlhih bangun, amahon mi matding achanglhi lhi uvin, thang akampeh un, matding agojing uve.
27 As, a cage, is full of birds, So, are, their houses, full of unrighteous gain, —For this cause, have they become great and waxen rich:
Vacha thang kamten, abom dimset’a vacha apoh bangun, a-in hou chu dihloutah’a achomdoh u thil adimset in ahi. Hiche jeh chun, amaho alendoh gam’un chuleh ahaodoh gamtauve.
28 They have waxed fat, they shine Yea they have overpassed the records of wickedness. The right, have they not determined, the right of the fatherless that they might prosper, —Yea justice to the helpless, have they not decreed.
Amaho athaodoh gam’un, chuleh atahsau jong ajolsel gamtauve. chuleh athilse bolhou chu angahje ahetapouve. Amahon, chagate chung a dihtah’a thutanna adalpih un, chuleh vaicha gentheite ding chanvou jong dihtah in achansah pouve.
29 Upon these things, shall I not bring punishment? Demandeth Yahweh. Or, on a nation such as this, shall not my soul avenge herself?
Hichengse jeh’a hi, keiman amaho chu talen pelouva kaum ding ham?’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye. Chuleh hiche nam mite chunga keiman phu kalahda ding ham?’’ ati.
30 An astounding and horrible thing, hath been brought to pass in the land:
Hiche gamsunga hin, thil gimneitah leh tijat umtah chu asohtai.
31 The prophets, have prophesied, falsely, And the priests tread down by their means, And, my people, love it, so, —What then can ye do as to her latter end?
Themgao hon jouthu jeng aseiyun, Thempu hon jong ama dei deiyun vai ahomtauve. Kamiten hitobang hi nadeiyun ahi. Ahivangin ijakai achaina ahunglhun tengleh, ipi naboldiu ham?’’ ati.
