< Jeremiah 11 >

1 This is [another] message that Yahweh told me:
Pakaiya konin Jeremiah henga thu ahunglhungin, hitin aseiye.
2 “Listen to the agreement that I made with [the ancestors of] the people of Jerusalem and [the other cities in] Judah. Then remind them of [that agreement].
“Judah gam leh Jerusalem’a chengho jah’a, amaho toh kitepna umsa, thu hicheng hi, gaseipeh tan.
3 Then tell them that [I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli [people worship], said that I will curse everyone who does not obey what was written in that agreement that I made with them.
Amaho jah’a, Pakai Israel Pathen chun, hitin aseiye. Koi hijongle, hiche kitepnasa thu ngailouva chonho chu gaosap changhen.
4 It is the same agreement that I made with their ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt. [What happened to them in Egypt was terrible; it was as though they were] living in a hot furnace [MET]. When I brought them out of Egypt, I told them to obey me, and to do everything that I had commanded them to do. [I also told them] that if they obeyed me, they would be my people and I would be their God.
Ajeh chu, keiman napu napateu, Egypt gam thih meilhumpi tobang sunga kon’a kahinpuidoh’a, kathupeh umsa chu, “Nanghon ka ogin nangaiyuva, kathupeh umsa chu abon’a naboljinguleh, nangho kamite nahiuva chule keima na Pathen’u kahi ding ahi, “ati.
5 [Now tell these people that if they obey me], I will do what I promised to do for their ancestors. I will enable them to continue living in this very fertile [IDM] land in which they now live.” I replied, “Yahweh, I hope that what you said will happen.”
Chuleh keiman hiche hi kasei ahi, “keiman napu napateu kom’a kakitepnasa, tunia nachennau, khoiju leh bongnoi lonna gam, kapeh ding kati chu, kaguilhunsah ding ahi,” ati. Hichun, keiman ka donbut in, O Pakai, hitei tei hen, amen! kati.
6 Then Yahweh said to me, “Go into the streets of Jerusalem and to the [other] cities in Judah. Proclaim my message to the people. Tell them to listen to the agreement [that I made with their ancestors], and to obey it.
Chuin Pakaiyin aseikittai, “Thu hicheng hi, Jerusalem khopi sunga gasam phonglen; Chuleh gamsung pumpia khopi tincheng’a chen, gaseiphong in. Hichu, “kitepnasa thuho ngaiyun lang, boldinga angaicha jouse boldoh soh keiyun.
7 When I brought their ancestors out of Egypt, I solemnly pleaded with them many times to obey me, and I am still pleading with them now.
Ijeh inem itileh, keiman napu napateu chu, Egypt gam’a kon’a kahinpuidoh’a pat’a, “kathu ngaiyuvin,” tia kanagihsa ahin, tuni geiya avel avel’a kagih jing ahi.
8 But they did not obey me or [even] pay any attention to me. Everyone continued to be stubborn and to do the evil things that they wanted to do. I commanded them to do what was written in the agreement, but they refused. So I punished them in all the ways that I promised that I would.”
Ahivangin, napu napateu chun, kathusei kagihna ho ngaisah in aneipouve. Amitakip louchal tah in aum’un, ama cheh lungthim gitlouna dimset in akiheimang gamtauve. Hijeh chun, kathupeh ngailou ho chunga, kitepna umsa gaosapna chu, keiman achunguva kahin pohlut pih ahitai, ati.
9 Then Yahweh said to me, “The people of Jerusalem and [the other cities in] Judah are rebelling against me.
Chuin Pakaiyin kajah’a thu ahinsei kit in, “Judah leh Jerualem miten, keima eidouvui ati.
10 Their ancestors refused to do what I told them to do, and [now] these people have returned to committing the sins that their ancestors committed. They are worshiping other gods. The people of Israel disobeyed the agreement that I made with their ancestors, and [now] the people of Judah have done the same thing.
Kathusei jouse donlouva anakoiya, apu apateu chonsetna lampia, amaho jong akiheilut sohtauve. Amahon kathusei ngailouvin, semthu Pathen chom chom ahouvun, apu apateu toh kitepna kanasem chu asukehtauvin ahi.
11 So now I, Yahweh, am warning them that I will cause them to experience disasters, and they will not escape them. And when they cry out for me [to help them], I will not pay attention.
Hijeh chun, Pakiyin hitin aseiye, “Keiman ajamdoh umlou hel’a achunguva hamsetna nasatah kalhut khumdiu ahi. Amaho kappum in kahenga hungtao jongleu, kangaipeh lou hel ding ahi,”ati.
12 When that happens, the people in Jerusalem and [other] cities in Judah will [offer sacrifices and] burn incense to their gods and ask for their help, but those gods will not be able to save them when those disasters come to them.
Chutengle, Judah leh Jerusalem miten gimnamtwi ahal uva ahouvu, semthu Pathen ho kom’a gatao diu; Ahivanga hicheho chun agentheipet uva chu ahuhdoh thei lou diu ahi.
13 There are more gods in Judah than there are towns in Judah, and the people of Jerusalem have erected as many altars to burn incense [to those gods] as there are streets in Jerusalem.
Vo Judah mite, nanghon nakhopi jouseu dimset in semthu Pathen tampi nakoitauve. Nanghon jumna maicham, Baal houna-a gimnamtwi halna maicham-phung tampi Jerusalem khopi sunga nasemtauve.
14 Jeremiah, do not pray for these people, and do not plead with me to rescue them. If you plead with me, I will not pay attention; and if they cry out to me for help when they are in distress, I will not listen to them.”
Vo Jeremiah, hiche mite din taoda tan. Amaho ding in jong kap hih in. Keiman amahohi, akanau ogin jong kangaipih louhel ding ahi.
15 Then Yahweh said, “The people [of Judah] whom I love certainly no longer have [RHQ] a right to come to my temple, because they continually do many evil things. [They think that] continually making sacrifices of meat to me certainly will [RHQ] protect them from disasters, with the result that they will be able to rejoice.
Kadeipen kamite hijongleu, aphalou thet umtah thil tampi abolnunguva, ka-insunga hunglut thei nading, ipi thuneina aneidiu ham? Akihahsel uva chule kilhaina gantha abol’u chun, amanthahna dinguva kon’a ahuhdoh thei diu hinam? Ajeh chu, amahon athilse bol’u chu kithang-at nan anei uvin ahi.
16 I previously said that they were like an olive tree full of green leaves with a lot of good olives on it, but [now I will send their enemies to attack] them furiously; [it is as though] I will break off their branches, and [their city] will be destroyed by fire.
Ven, amahohi khatvei keiman, Olive thingphung engsel vetnom umtah, chuleh aga phatah hoisel ahi, kanati. Tunvang, melmate lungsatna meikong chun ahal uva, akahvam heldiuvin kaumsahtai.
17 [It is as though] the people of Judah and Israel were a beautiful olive tree that I, the Commander of the armies of angels, planted, but [now], by burning incense to [their god] Baal, they have caused me to become [very] angry. So [now] I have decided to destroy them.”
Keima thaneipen Pakaiyin, hiche mite hi, Olive banga kanaphu ahin, tua suhmang dinga kano ahitai. Ajeh chu, Israel le Judah miten eiphin lunghang uvin, Baal Pathen henga gimnamtwi ahaluvin, chonset aboltauvin ahi.
18 Yahweh revealed to me that [my enemies] were planning to kill me.
Chuin Pakaiyin kahenga thu aseiyin, kamelmaten keima thading’a eigot’u chu, eihetsah tai.
19 [Before he did that], I was like a lamb that was being led away to be slaughtered; I did not know what they were planning to do. I did not know that they were saying, “Let’s get rid of this tree and its fruit,” so [I did not know] that they intended to kill me, in order that no one would remember me [MTY].
Keima akithana ding mun jon’a kikai kelngoi ngoitah tobang kanahin; Keima thana dinga thilgon aneiyu jong kana hepoi. Amahon, hiche mipa hi thatdoh u hitin, athusei doh hojong sumang soh’u hite. Amahi tupet in phuhlhu doh’u hitin, amin jong kigeldoh kitlou ding ahi, “atiuve.
20 [Then I prayed], “Commander of the armies of angels, you judge people justly/fairly, and you examine everything that we are thinking [DOU]. Allow me to watch you getting revenge on the people [who want to kill me], because I trust that you will do for me what is right.”
Vo thaneipen Pakai, dihtah’a thutan nangbou nahi. Chule nangman mihem lungthim mihem lungthim le lunggil thuhtah jong nakhol doh jin ahi. Hiche mite chunga naphulahna neimusah in; Ajeh chu keiman kachungthu hi nang khut’a kapeh ahitai.
21 It was the men of [my own town], Anathoth, who wanted to kill me, and they told me that they would kill me if I did not stop prophesying what Yahweh told me to say.
Pakaiyin, keima thadinga eiholho, Anathoth mite chung chang hitin aseiye. Amahon, “pakai min in gaothu seidan, nangah loule kathadiu nahi,” atiuve.
22 So the Commander of the armies of angels said [about them], “I will punish them. Their young men will be killed in wars, and their children will die because they have no food.
Chuin thaneipen Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Keiman achunguva talen nasatah kamatsah diu: A gollhang hou gal’a thigam diu, chule achapateu leh achanuteu kelthoh’a thidiu ahi.
23 I have set a time when I will bring disasters to the people of Anathoth, and when that happens, none of them will remain alive.”
Hijeh’a chu, lungthim phalou gongho Anathoth mite, khat cha ahingdoh umlou diu ahi. Ajeh chu, keiman achunguva hamsetna nasatah kahin lhunsah ding ahi, ati.
