Jeremiah 43
1 [So] I finished telling to the people that message from Yahweh our God.
Pakai a-Pathen uvin amaho ding’a ahinsei thuho jouse chu, Jeremiah in mipite heng’a abonchan aseipeh tai.
2 But then Johanan and Azariah and some other insolent/arrogant men said to me, “You are lying! Yahweh our God has not told [us] that we should not go to Egypt!
Hichun Hoshaiah chapa Azariah leh Kareah chapa Johanan chule mihoitho phabep chu, Jeremiah heng’a ahung un, ajah’a, “Pakai ka-Pathen uvin keiho Egypt gam’a kache diu jahda ponte. Nangman jou nasei ahibouve.
3 [We think that] Baruch has urged/persuaded you to say this, in order that [if we stay here], the soldiers from Babylonia will seize us and kill us or take us to Babylonia.”
Nangma Neriah chapa Baruch toh nakihoutoh a, keiho hi Babylon te khut’a eikipedoh uva, chule amahon eithauva ahiloule sohchang’a Babylon gam’a eikai mang nadiuva, hitobang thuh naseidoh ahi,” atiuve.
4 So Johanan and the other leaders of the [Israeli] soldiers and [many of] [HYP] the other people [who were there] refused to obey Yahweh’s command to stay in Judah.
Hijeh chun, Johanan leh gal lamkai ho chuleh mipite jouse chun, Pakaiyin Judah gamsung’a nachenden diu ahi, tia aseichu angai tapouve.
5 Johanan and all the [other] leaders gathered together all the people who had returned from the other countries to which they had been scattered.
Hichun Johanan leh gal lamkai ho thusah chun, gam chom chom’a ajamcheh nauva kon’a hung kilekit’a, Judah gamsung’a chengding kigo ho chule akidalha amoh chengse chu, apuijun ache tauve.
6 [They included] men, women, children, the king’s daughters, and all those whom Nebuzaradan had left with Gedaliah, and they also took Baruch and me.
Mipi ho lah’a chun, pasal ho, numei ho, chapang ho chule leng chanu te hojong ahiuve. Amaho chu, in-ngah lamkaipa Nebuzaradan in Gedaliah khut’a adalhah ho ahiuve. Alah uva chun, Jeremiah themgaopa leh Baruch jong apuitha tauvin ahi.
7 They refused to obey Yahweh, and they took us all [to Egypt], as far as Tahpenes [city].
Hitichun, Pakai thusei ngailouvin, mipiho chu Egypt gamsung’a alut un, achepeh uvin Tahpanhes khopi alhung tauve.
8 [While we were] at Tahpenes, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Tahpanhes mun’a, Pakaiyin Jeremiah heng’a thu ahinsei kit in, ajah’a,
9 “While the people of Judah are watching you, take some large rocks and bury them under the brick pavement at the entrance to the king’s palace there at Tahpenes.
“Judahte mitmu tah in, nangman songchang alenthim phabep lanlang, Pharaoh lengpa inpi lutna lampi’a kipha songpheng noiya khun vuijin.
10 Then say to the people of Judah, ‘This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [you] Israelis [say you belong to], says: “I will summon Nebuchadnezzar the King of Babylon, who does my work, to come [with his army] to Egypt. I will set up his throne over these stones that I told Jeremiah to bury. And Nebuchadnezzar will set up his tent there [to show that he has become] the King [of Egypt].
Chuteng Judah miho kom’a seiyin: Thaneipen Pakai, Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye; Keiman kasohpa Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar chu hilai mun’a kahin puilut ding ahi. Keiman hiche songchang kiselho chung’a hi, alaltouna kaki dosah’a chule aman hilai mun’a hi aleng ponbuh ason khumding ahi.
11 When his [army] comes, they will attack Egypt. Then those will die who [I have determined] must die, those who [I have determined] must be captured will be captured, and those who [I have determined] must be killed by swords will be killed by swords.
Ama hung kon intin, Egypt gamsung asuhgam ding. Chuteng athiding ho thiuvin tin, sohchang dingho sohchang uvintin, chule gal’a thiding ho thisoh diu ahi.
12 Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt. [But before they burn the temples], they will take away their idols [as souvenirs]. His [troops] will clean Egypt like a shepherd cleans lice from his cloak. They will tear down the sacred pillars that are in the temple of their sun god. And then Nebuchadnezzar’s [troops] will leave there, without having been harmed.”’”
Aman Egypt te Pathen chom chom houna in jouse asuhset ding, meiya ahalvam ding, chule asung’a kitung milimdoi ho jouse akipoh mang ding ahi. Aman Egypt gamsung chu, kelngoi chingpan asangkholchol a um hit hi alhentheng bang’a alhentheng sel ding ahi. Ahin ama tahchu, imacha tilouva chemang ding ahi.
Aman Egypt gamsung’a nisa houna inchu asuhchim ding, chule Egypt Pathen chom chom houna in jouse meiya ahalvam ding ahi.
