Jeremiah 20
1 Pashhur, the son of Immer, was a priest who supervised the temple guards. He heard those things that I had prophesied.
Immer chapa Pashur, Pakai houin vaipo thempupa chun, Jeremiah gaothusei chu ajatai.
2 [So he arrested me]. Then he [commanded guards to] whip me and fasten my feet in (stocks/a wooden frame) at the Benjamin Gate of Yahweh’s temple.
Hichun aman Jeremiah chu amanin, adingin chule Pakai houin a Benjamin kelkot mun’a, mi henna insunga chun ahentai.
3 The next day, when Pashhur released me, I said to him, “Pashhur, Yahweh is giving you a new name. From now on, your name will be ‘Surrounded by Terror’,
Ajing nikhon, Pashur in Jeremiah chu ahinlhadoh tai. Hichun Jeremiah in Pashur jah’a, Pakaiyin namin akheltai, tuapat nangmin hi, munjousea tijat in aumkimvel mipa, nakiti ding ahitai.
4 because Yahweh says this [to you]: ‘I will cause you and your friends to be terrified. You will watch them being killed by your enemies’ swords. I will enable the [army of the] king of Babylon to capture the people of Judah. Those soldiers will take some of the people to Babylon, and they will kill others with their swords.
Ijeh inem itile, Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Nangle naloi nagolho chunga hamsetna kalhunsah ding, nangma mitmu chang tah’a, naloi nagol ho chu melmate chemjam’a lousoh keidiu ahi. Juda mite jong Babylon lengpa khut a kapeh doh ding, aman abang sohchanga akaiding chule abang athading ahi.
5 And I will enable their soldiers to take away [other things in] Jerusalem. They will take to Babylon all the very valuable things that belonged to your kings.
Chule keiman namelmate khut a Jerusalem kapeh doh ding, khopi sunga neilegou umjouse-sana, dangka, songmantam chule Judah lengthen akholdoh ouseu aboncha-a achom gamdiu, Babylon gamsung alhutdiu ahi.
6 And [as for] you, Pashhur, they will take you and all your family to Babylon. You and your family and all your friends who have prophesied things that are lies will die there and be buried there.’”
Chutengle Pashur, nangle na-insung mite nabonchauva sohchanga Babylon gam najot cheh diu, chukom’a chu nathi dending chule joule nal a gaothu naseikhompi naloi nagol jouse toh nakivuithadiu ahi, ati.
7 [One day I said this to Yahweh]: “Yahweh, [when you chose me to be a prophet, ] deceived me, and I allowed you to deceive me. You insisted that I [become a prophet] and you are stronger than I am. And now everyone [HYP] ridicules me. They make fun of me all the day.
Vo Pakai, nangin neilhemlha tai. Keijong nang lheplhah’a kaum hi pha kasai. Kei sangin nang nahatjon, nang dingin kei imakham kahipoi. Hijongle, mihon nilhum lhum in einuisat un chule totnopnan eineitauve.
8 When I tell [people your messages], I shout saying, ‘[Yahweh is going to cause you to experience] violence and destruction!’ So because I tell them those messages from you, they insult me and scoff at me all day long.
Keiman thu kaseichan in, “Pumhat jeng leh manthahna jeng ahi’’ tin ka-eodoh jengjin, kasaptho jin ahi. Hitia Pakaiya kon thuho kaphondoh teng, miho nuijat nopna bep in kapangji e.
9 But if I would say, ‘I will never mention Yahweh or say anything about him, [MTY]’ [it would be as though] your message would burn in my inner being like [SIM] a fire; it would be like a fire in my bones. Sometimes I try to remain silent and not proclaim your messages, but I am not able to do that.
Hijeh chun, keiman Pakai min phahtah louding, chule ama min’a thu seitah louding, kati jongle, kalungsung meiya kihal bangin asajin ahi. Hichu keiman immang kagotji vang'in kaimjou jipoi.
10 I hear many people whispering [about me], saying ‘[He is the man who proclaims that there will be things that cause us to] be terrified everywhere. We must tell [the authorities what he is saying]! We must denounce him!’ [Even] my best friends are waiting for me to say something that is wrong. [They are saying], ‘Perhaps we can cause him to say something wrong, and if he does, we will be able to discredit him.’
Keima eiseisetnau, miho kihoulhihna thu lamleng tampi kajan, keidin kajet kavei tijatna jeng ahi. Hehset a bolgimdin eikigih in, ima seitheilouvin eilhauve. Kaloi kagol ho jeng injong, kalhuhkal ngahlel in eigalvet uve. Ama ahung kisuhmo tengle, eiho achunga phu ikilah joudiu ahi, atiuve.
11 But [you], Yahweh, are helping me like [SIM] a strong warrior, so [it is as though] you will cause those who persecute me to stumble, and they will not defeat me. They will be completely disgraced because of being unable to defeat me; and other people will never forget that they were disgraced.
Ahinlah, Pakaiyin thaneitah in keima eiumpi jingnai. Ama angsung a koiman eijou ponte, kachunga thilse gong ho abon'uva lhugamdiu ahi. Amaho kijumso diu, chule ajahchatnau chu mangmo’a umding ahi.
12 Commander of the armies of angels, you examine [all] those who are righteous; you know [all that is in] their inner beings and what they think. Allow me to see you getting revenge on those [who want to harm me], because I trust that you will do for me what is right.”
O thaneipen Pakai, nangman adih a thilbol ho napatep in, miho lungthim gilpen leh thuguh ho naholdoh soh keiye. Keiman kachungthu nakom’a kalhuttai. Hijeh chun, kamelmate chunga naphulahna neimusah in, kati ahi.
13 Sing to Yahweh! Praise Yahweh! He rescues [poor and] needy people, from those [SYN] who are wicked.
Pakai vahchoila sauvin, vahchoiyun Pakai! Migiloute bolsetna-a konin, vaicha gentheite eihuhdoh tauve.
14 But I hope/desire that the day that I was born will be cursed. I do not want [anyone to] celebrate that day.
Kapen nikho gaosap chang hen, kanun eihindoh nikho chu koima geldoh in umdahen.
15 And [as for] that man who brought to my father the news, and caused him to be very happy, by saying “[You wife] has given birth to a son for you”, I hope/desire that he [also] will be cursed.
Kahungpen nikho’a, kapa jah’a, ‘chapa khat naneiye’ tia thu galhutpa chu gaosap changhen!
16 Allow him to be destroyed like the cities that Yahweh destroyed [long ago], without acting mercifully [toward them]. Cause that man to hear the people wailing in the morning, and [to hear the enemy soldiers shout their] battle cries at noon.
Hiche mipa chu, Pakaiyin hepina beihel’a khopi ho asuhmang bang in sumang jeng hen. Jingkah teng nat thohgimna o jahen, sunteng gal kisap o gin jahen!
17 [I want that to happen to him] because he did not kill me before I was born. I wish that I had died in my mother’s womb, and that my mother’s body would have been [like] [MET] my grave.
Ajeh chu, aman kapenlhah chun einathatpon, Ohe, kanu naobu sunga anathidan hitaleng, keima hi. Kanu oisunga kivuiden tadinga.
18 I have continually experienced much trouble and sorrow, and I am disgraced now when I am about to die; why was it necessary [RHQ] for me to me born?
Ipi dinga keima hi hungpeng kahim? Kahinkhoa hesoh genthei thohdingle miho vetda chanding bep’a?
