< Jeremiah 9 >
1 Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a spring of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
Kaluchang hi twikul hihen, chuleh kamit teni hi lhitwi putna twinah hileh, sun leh jan in kamite kithatsa ho din, keima kaple maovin umtange.
2 Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men, that I might leave my people and go from them! For they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
Ohe, kamite hi dalha-a vahmang thei hing ting, chuleh nelphai gamthip’a kholjin miho gemun’a kiselmang thei hileng, kati! Ajeh chu amaho hi mitoh jonbol leh milhem chavai jeng ahiuve.
3 “They bend their tongue, as their bow, for falsehood. They have grown strong in the land, but not for truth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they don’t know me,” says the LORD.
Kamite chu, aleiguiyu thalpi kamsalsa bangin, jouthu seiding salhemin aum’un, thutah dinpijou koima aumpouve. Alahuva setna akhang tul tul jengin, keima jeng jong eihetapouve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
4 “Everyone beware of his neighbour, and don’t trust in any brother; for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will go around like a slanderer.
Hitijeh chun, naheng-nakom ho’a konin kichih theiyun, chuleh nasopi jong ginchat dauvin. Ajeh chu sopi leh sopi jong agomkom hol’a milhem jeng ahiuve. Chuleh gollepai ho jong mi seise leh gaosap’a vahkoile ngen ahiuve.
5 Friends deceive each other, and will not speak the truth. They have taught their tongue to speak lies. They weary themselves committing iniquity.
Amitakip joulenal in akilhemtouvin, koima thudih sei aumpouve. Jouthu seina leh milhep lhah aleiyu akithemchuh sah’un, chonset abol be be jingun, lungkhel ding agelpouve.
6 Your habitation is in the middle of deceit. Through deceit, they refuse to know me,” says the LORD.
Amahon kijoulhepna chunga kijoulhepna abol be be un, chuleh keima hetding donse louvin akoitauve, tun Pakaiyin aseiye.
7 Therefore the LORD of Hosts says, “Behold, I will melt them and test them; for how should I deal with the daughter of my people?
Hijeh chun Thaneipen Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, ‘Vetan, keiman amaho kapatep ding, thih meiya kigou; jolla banga kago jol ding ahiuve. Amahon aheng-akom jah’a thu angei ngei aseiyun, ahinlah alungsunguvin mi thina ding jeng ageluve.
8 Their tongue is a deadly arrow. It speaks deceit. One speaks peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in his heart, he waits to ambush him.
Aleigui jouseu thina thei thalpi tobang jeng ahin, joulhepna jeng thu aseijun; abonchaovin aheng akom ah chamna asei nauvin, hinlah alunggon uvin aheng akom chan lhihna jeng ahi.
9 Shouldn’t I punish them for these things?” says the LORD. “Shouldn’t my soul be avenged on a nation such as this?
Hicheng jeh’a hi, keiman amaho talen kamatsah da-a, chuleh hitobang nam mite chunga chu, keima tah in phukalah da ding ham? tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
10 I will weep and wail for the mountains, and lament for the pastures of the wilderness, because they are burnt up, so that no one passes through; Men can’t hear the voice of the livestock. Both the birds of the sky and the animals have fled. They are gone.
keiman molsang ho kacham ingting, gamthip’a hamdongho din kap inge. Ajeh chu amaho agoplha soh’uvin chuleh akeovin aumgamtauve. Koiman ajotpa tapon, ganchate husa jong akijatapoi. Vachate leh gamsate jong ajammang soh heltauve.
11 “I will make Jerusalem heaps, a dwelling place of jackals. I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.”
Keiman, Jerusalem hi khogem kasosah ding, chuleh ngeihonte kokhuh’a kasemding ahi. Chuleh Judah gamsung khopi ho ahomkeova kalha-a, aching ding beihel’a kakoi ding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
12 Who is wise enough to understand this? Who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD has spoken, that he may declare it? Why has the land perished and burnt up like a wilderness, so that no one passes through?
Koiham miching, hicheho abon’a lethemsoh kei ding? Hicheho kiphonna Pakai kamsoh koikom’a lhung ham, chuleh ahilchen thei ding? Ibol’a gamsung hi segam’a chuleh ahomkeova kijam’a, koima cha chele vahle umlou hitam? Kati.
13 The LORD says, “Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice or walked in my ways,
Pakaiyin aseiye, “Kamiten kathupeh adalhah uva, chuleh kasei ajuilou jeh un, achunguva hichenghi soh ahitai.
14 but have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them.”
Amahon, louchal tah in ama ama deicheh abolun, apu apateu bol bang bangin, Baal doilim chu chibai abohtauvin ahi.
15 Therefore the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says, “Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink.
Hiche jehchun, Pakai Van Pathen leh Israel Pathen chun aseitai: Vetan, keiman hiche mite aneh diuva namtul jung kha kapeh ding chuleh adondiuva thina gutwi kakoipeh ding ahi, ati.
16 I will scatter them also amongst the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known. I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.”
Chuleh keiman amahohi, apu apateuvin jong ana jahkhah lou, namtin vaipi lah’a kathethang diu, abonchauva kasuhgamhel kahsea chemjam’a kadelkhum diu ahi,” ati.
17 The LORD of Hosts says, “Consider, and call for the mourning women, that they may come. Send for the skilful women, that they may come.
Pakai Van Pathen in hitin aseiye, “Gelun ipi soh hitam! Thi-op themho kouvun chuleh thi-opna kala sathem numeiho kousah” un,
18 Let them make haste and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears and our eyelids gush out with waters.
Gakou loiyun, lhasetah in kaploiyu hite. Mitlhi longhel hol in eikasah’uhen, atiuve.
19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, ‘How we are ruined! We are greatly confounded because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our dwellings.’”
Ngaiyun, Jerusalem mite ka-ogin akijai. Eiho ikijumsouva eikisumang hel’u ahitai. Igam u dalhatau hite. Ajih chu ichennau in jouse akisuse gamheltai, atiuve.
20 Yet hear the LORD’s word, you women. Let your ear receive the word of his mouth. Teach your daughters wailing. Everyone teach her neighbour a lamentation.
Hijeh chun numei ho, Pakai thusei ngaiphauvin chule nanakhang sung un lutsah un; nacha nuteu chengse kadan hil un chule mijousen aheng akom’a thilhah kadan hil cheh hen.
21 For death has come up into our windows. It has entered into our palaces to cut off the children from outside, and the young men from the streets.
Ajeh chu thinan i-kot phung tinchang’u ahin phan chule leng inpi chengse insung ahin phatai. Kholaija chapang jouse alhamsoh in, chule vengning lah dunga khangdong chengse jong alhamsoh heltai.
22 Speak, “The LORD says, “‘The dead bodies of men will fall as dung on the open field, and as the handful after the harvester. No one will gather them.’”
Pakaiyin hiti hin aseije tin, seitan. Mithi long chu loujaova eh-banga kisevum lha ding, chang atpa nunga changphal banga kise diu, achomkhom beihel hiding ahi, tin seijin, ati.
23 The LORD says, “Don’t let the wise man glory in his wisdom. Don’t let the mighty man glory in his might. Don’t let the rich man glory in his riches.
Pakaiyin hiti hin aseije, achingpa jong achih jal’in kiloupisah dahen; ahatpa jong ahat jal’in kiloupisah dahen, chule ahaopa jong ahao jal’in kiloupisah dahen.
24 But let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am the LORD who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness in the earth, for I delight in these things,” says the LORD.
Hinlah ahaopa chu hiti hin kiloupisah johen, ama chun keima eihe khen theijin tin; ajeh chu lungsetna longlouva nei jing keima kahin, leiset chunga thutanna adih jeng kabol’e tihedoh hen, hiti chun keima kakipah thanomji ti he them hen.
25 “Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will punish all those who are circumcised only in their flesh:
“Ven, nikho ho ahung lhung tai tin, Pakaiyin aseiye; keiman cheptan loulai chengse chunga talen kapeh ding ahi.
26 Egypt, Judah, Edom, the children of Ammon, Moab, and all who have the corners of their hair cut off, who dwell in the wilderness, for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart.”
Egypt, Judah amaho chateu le Moab ahin chule neldi gam’a cheng asam kitan kivel ho jaona ahi. Ajeh chu hiche nam mite hin chep akitan pouvin, Israel insung jeng jong alungthima cheptan lou ahi,” ati.
