Jeremiah 1
1 Words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, of the priests who [are] in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin,
Hiche hi, Benjamin gamsunga Anathoth khomi Hilikiah thempu chapa Jeremiah thusei ho ahi.
2 unto whom the word of Jehovah hath been in the days of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign,
Judah lengpa Amon chapa Josiah lengvaipoh kum somthum leh thum lhin kum in, Pakai thusei chu Jeremiah henga ahung lhungtan ahi.
3 and it is in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, till the completion of the eleventh year of Zedekiah son of Josiah, king of Judah, till the removal of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
Hiche ho chu, Josiah chapa Jehoiakim lengvaipoh gei laiyin jong ahung lhungin, chuleh Josiah dangkhat Juda leng Zedikiah lengvaipoh kal kum som leh khat toh lhanga lhinni geiyin, Jerusalem mite sohchanga akikaimang nikho geiyin jong ahung lhung in ahi.
4 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
Hiti chun Pakai thusei chu kaheng ahunglhung tan ahi.
5 'Before I form thee in the belly, I have known thee; and before thou comest forth from the womb I have separated thee, a prophet to nations I have made thee.'
“Keiman nanu naobu sung’a, nalim namel kagondoh masanga, nangma kahetsa nahitai. Nahung penlhah masanga, Keiman nangma namtin vaipi henga keima themgao ding’a, kathenso’a chuleh kapansah nahitai,’’ ati.
6 And I say, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah! lo, I have not known — to speak, for I [am] a youth.'
Chuphat in kenjong, “Vo thaneipen Pakai, keima kachapang behseh jeng in, Nang’a dingin ima seidoh thei ponge,’’ kati.
7 And Jehovah saith unto me, 'Do not say, I [am] a youth, for to all to whom I send thee thou goest, and all that I command thee thou speakest.
Ahivangin Pakaiyin kajah’a, “Kachapang behseh e, tihih in; Ajeh chu keiman kasolna hoilai hijongleh nache ding, chuleh keiman kapeh thuho bou nasei ding ahibouve.
8 Be not afraid of their faces, for with thee [am] I to deliver thee, — an affirmation of Jehovah.'
Amaho chu kicha hih in, Ajeh chu keiman nangma kaumpi jengding, chuleh kahuh doh jing ding nahi,’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
9 And Jehovah putteth forth His hand, and striketh against my mouth, and Jehovah saith unto me, 'Lo, I have put my words in thy mouth.
Hichun Pakaiyin akhut ahinlhang in, kakamsung ahin khoiyin, kajah’a aseitai, “Vetan, keiman kathu ho, nakam sunga kakoipeh tai.
10 See, I have charged thee this day concerning the nations, and concerning the kingdoms, to pluck up, and to break down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.'
Tunia hi, nangma nadindoh’a namtin vaipi leh lenggamho chunga douna thusei dinga, keiman kapansah nahitai. Nangman amaho phabep chu, ajung geiya nabo doh’a naheboh ding; nasuh mang’a chuleh nalekhup ding ahi. Chuleh adangho chu naphu det’a, nasahdoh ding ahi,’’ ati.
11 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 'What art thou seeing, Jeremiah?' And I say, 'A rod of an almond tree I am seeing.'
Chuin Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Jeremiah ven, ipi namum?” ati. Keiman kadonbut in, “Jon-mot thingbah khat kamui,” kati.
12 And Jehovah saith unto me, 'Thou hast well seen: for I am watching over My word to do it.'
Hichun Pakaiyin kajah’a, “Adih’e, hichu keiman nangma kavelhi jingin, chuleh kathil gonsa banga kaboltei ding ahi,” ati.
13 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me a second time, saying, 'What art thou seeing?' And I say, 'A blown pot I am seeing, and its face [is] from the north.'
Chujouvin, Pakaiyin avellin kajah’a, “Tua adang ipi namum?” ati. Keiman kadonbut in, “sahlam’a kon twibel ki-om phul letlut khat, hung kibung lha kamui,” kati.
14 And Jehovah saith unto me, 'From the north is the evil loosed against all inhabitants of the land.
Hichun Pakaiyin kajah’a, “Adih e, sahlam’a konin kichat umtah manthahna chu hung kipan intin, gamsung a cheng jouse chung a hung chuding ahi.
15 For, lo, I am calling for all families of the kingdoms of the north, — an affirmation of Jehovah — and they have come, and put each his throne at the opening of the gates of Jerusalem, and by its walls round about, and by all cities of Judah.
Ngaiyun, keiman sahlam lenggam ho’a kon’a namtin vaipi Jerusalem khopia hung dinga kakoi ding ahi. Hichehi keima Pakai chun kaseidohsa ahitai. Chutahleh amahon Jerusalem kulpi kotphung dung jouse leh Judate khopi dangho kimvel’a laltouna akidouva, gal abolkhum diu ahi.
16 And I have spoken My judgments with them concerning all their evil, in that they have forsaken Me, and make perfume to other gods, and bow themselves to the works of their own hands.
Chutahleh, keiman kamite achonset jeh’uva achunguva thutanna kaneikhum ding; Ajeh chu amahon keima einungsun’uvin chuleh lim semthu pathen ang-ah gim namtwi ahaluvin ahi. Amahon akhut tah’uva akisem’u doilim chu ahougamtauve.
17 'And thou, thou dost gird up thy loins, and hast arisen, and spoken unto them all that I command thee: be not affrighted because of them, lest I affright thee before them.
Thoudoh in, kigosan um'in, Keiman amaho seipeh dinga kathupeh jouse, amaho gaseipeh tan. chuleh amaho chu kicha hih in, achutilouleh amaho masanga kasuhjum ding nahi.
18 And I, lo, I have given thee this day for a fenced city, and for an iron pillar, and for brazen walls over all the land, to the kings of Judah, to its heads, to its priests, and to the people of the land;
Vetan, tunia hi keiman nangma suhchim joulou kulpi dettah, thih khopi leh sum-eng tho kikaikhum banga, kasemdoh nahitai. Nangma gam-leiset pumpi douna-a nadin ding; lengho, gamvaipo ho, thempu ho, chuleh Judah mite jouse douna-a pangdet chet ding a kasem nahitai.
19 and they have fought against thee, and they prevail not against thee; for with thee [am] I, — an affirmation of Jehovah — to deliver thee.
Amahon nang douna gal ahinbol diu, hijongleh ajolou diu ahi. ajeh chu keiman nangma kaumpi jing ding chuleh kavenbit ding nahi. Hiche hi, keima Pakaiyin kaphondoh ahi,” ati.
