Jeremiah 13
1 Thus said Jehovah unto me, 'Go, and thou hast got for thee a girdle of linen, and hast placed it on thy loins, and into water thou dost not cause it to enter:'
Pakaiyin kaheng’a hitin aseiye, “Chen lang taigah pon, tupat ponnem khat gachon lang, kigah in. Chule hichu twiya nasoplou ding ahi,” ati.
2 and I get the girdle, according to the word of Jehovah, and I place [it] on my loins.
Hijeh chun, Pakaiyin athusah dungjuiyin, kenjong taigah pon kagachon kakigahtai.
3 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me a second time, saying,
Chujouvin Pakaiyin kahenga thu ahinseikit in,
4 'Take the girdle that thou hast got, that [is] on thy loins, and rise, go to Phrat, and hide it there in a hole of the rock;
Nataigah pon chu kichoiyin lang, Ephrates vadung a chen. Chukom’a songpi khikah’a chun nathil chu gaselmang tan ati.
5 and I go and hide it by Phrat, as Jehovah commanded me.
Hichun keiman, Pakai thupeh dungjuijin Ephrates vadunga kachen, kagasel mangtai.
6 And it cometh to pass, at the end of many days, that Jehovah saith unto me, 'Rise, go to Phrat, and take thence the girdle, that I commanded thee to hide there;'
Chujou, nikho tamtah jouvin, Pakaiyin kahenga thu ahinseikit in, “Ephrates vadunga chekit inlang na taigah pon kaselmang sah chu, gakilah kittan,” ati.
7 and I go to Phrat, and dig, and take the girdle from the place where I had hid it; and lo, the girdle hath been marred, it is not profitable for anything.
Chuin keima Ephrates vadunga kachen, taigah pon kasel chu kagakhot doh kittai. Amavang, hiche taigah pon chu, amon in anase gam heltai. Taigah pon chu, imacha-a apanna ding aumtapoi.
8 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 'Thus said Jehovah:
Chuin Pakaiya konin, kahenga thu ahunglhungin,
9 Thus do I mar the excellency of Judah, And the great excellency of Jerusalem.
“Hiche hi Pakai kamsoh chu ahi, keiman Judah leh Jerusalem mite kithang-at nachu, hitobanga hi kasuhset pihding ahi.”
10 This evil people, who refuse to hear My words, Who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, And go after other gods to serve them, And to bow themselves to them, Yea it is — as this girdle, that is not profitable for anything.
Hiche migiloute hin, kathusei angaipouvin, louchal tah in achon un, ama ama cheh lung ngaichat abol'un, chule semthu pathen ahouvun ahi. Hijeh’a chu, amahohi taigah pon banga chu, phatchomna beihel ahitauve.
11 For, as the girdle cleaveth unto the loins of a man, So I caused to cleave unto Me The whole house of Israel, And the whole house of Judah, an affirmation of Jehovah, To be to Me for a people, and for a name, And for praise, and for beauty, And they have not hearkened.
Ijeh inem itileh, taigah pon mihem taibuh a akiveiden banga, Judah leh Israel mite chu, keima chunga kiveiden jeng dinga kasem ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye. Hitia chu, amaho kamite hiuva, keidinga loupina leh eikivahchoina thei hidiu ahin; Hinlah amahon kathusei angaidehji pouvin ahi.
12 And thou hast said unto them this word, Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, 'Every bottle is full of wine,' And they have said unto thee: 'Do we not certainly know that every bottle is full of wine?'
Hiche thuhi nangman amaho hetsah in, Pakai Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye, “Hai jousea lengpitwi nathaldim soh keidiu ahi,” ati. Chutengle amahon najah’a, “Hai jousea lengpitwi thaldim sohkei ding chu, keihon kahetlouvu ham? “atidiu ahi.
13 And thou hast said unto them, 'Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am filling all the inhabitants of this land, And the kings who sit for David on his throne, And the priests, and the prophets, And all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, [With] drunkenness,
Chutengle nangin amaho jah’a, Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, tin. “Ven hiche gamsung mite jouse: David laltouna-a tou lengho a pat thempuho, chule themgao ho, chule Jerusalem a chengho jouse, abonuva khamnathei gu-twi ka donkhamsah soh hel dingu ahi.
14 And have dashed them one against another, And the fathers and the sons together, An affirmation of Jehovah, I do not pity, nor spare, nor have I mercy, So as not to destroy them.
Keiman amaho, khat le khat katato ding, mipate le chapate jong katato ding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye. Hitia chu, amaho suhmang louna dinga, achunguva hepina le lainatsah pihna, kaneilou hel ding ahi, ati.
15 Hear, and give ear — be not haughty, For Jehovah hath spoken.
Thu kasei ngaiyun lang, nanakhang’u hindo cheh’un. Kiletsah hoitho bol hih un. Ajeh chu Pakaiyin thu aseitai.
16 Give ye to Jehovah your God honour, Before He doth cause darkness, And before your feet stumble on dark mountains, And ye have waited for light, And He hath made it for death-shade, And hath appointed [it] for thick darkness.
Phat ageisang masang in, Pakai na Pathen chu loupi sah un. Aman muthim ahin lhunsah masang, molsang laiya nakipal lhuh masang. Muthim lhangkhal gimneitah akiheh sah’a, khovah ngaicha geova naum masangun.
17 And if ye do not hear it, In secret places doth my soul weep, because of pride, Yea, it weepeth sore, And the tear cometh down mine eyes, For the flock of Jehovah hath been taken captive.
Nanghon hichea jong, Pakai thusei nangailou uleh, nakiletsah hoitho jal uva, keima kachanga kaka ding ahi. Keima mitlhi long chut chut a kaka ding; Ajeh chu Pakai mite abonchauva sohchanga kikaimang diu ahitai.
18 Say to the king and to the mistress: Make yourselves low — sit still, For come down have your principalities, The crown of your beauty.
Lengpa leh lengnu kom’a seipih un. “Na laltouna’a kon in hung kumlha lhon in, tollhanga toulhon in. Ajeh chu, na loupina lallukhuh chu nalua kon’a kilamang ding ahitai,” ati.
19 The cities of the south have been shut up, And there is none opening, Judah hath been removed — all of her, She hath been removed completely —
Negev gam’a khopi jouse kot akikhah sohtan, koima ahongdoh ding aumpoi. Judah mite jouse sohchanga kikaimang ta, Chuleh gamsung mijouse sohchanga kikaimang ahitauve.
20 Lift up your eyes, and see those coming in from the north, Where [is] the drove given to thee, thy beautiful flock?
khodah in lang vetem un, sahlam gam’a kon’a hung kitolsuh galmi ho khu. Nangma nakipesa, na kelngoi hon ho chu, hoiya um hitam?
21 What dost thou say, when He looketh after thee? And thou — thou hast taught them [to be] over thee — leaders for head? Do not pangs seize thee as a travailing woman?
Nangin gollepai dia nakisemsa ho chu, Pakaiyin nangma chunga vaihom’a apansah tengle, nangin ipi nasei ding ham? Numei naoso nat banga, nang dinga natna nasatah hiding ahi.
22 And when thou dost say in thy heart, 'Wherefore have these met me?' For the abundance of thine iniquity Have thy skirts been uncovered, Have thy heels suffered violence.
Nangman na lung sunga, ipi dia thil hicheng pihi kachunga hunglhung ham, tia nakidoh nomleh: Hichehi, na chonset alet behseh jeh ahi. Hijeh’a chu na ponsil jouse kibottel’a, hesoh genthei nasatah nathoh ahiye.
23 Doth a Cushite change his skin? and a leopard his spots? Ye also are able to do good, who are accustomed to do evil.
Ven, Ethiopia min avun avouso akhel thei am? Chule lutnun achunga ajem-pol ho akheldoh thei ham? Achuti theile, thilse bolgunset nanghon jong thilpha nabol theidiu ahi.
24 And I scatter them as stubble, Passing away, by a wind of the wilderness.
“Keiman nangho nabonchauva, nelgam huipin changvai amut mang banga kalecheh ding nahiuve.
25 This [is] thy lot, the portion of thy measures from Me — an affirmation of Jehovah, Because thou hast forgotten me, And dost trust in falsehood.
Hichehi nangma chandol ahin, keiman nang dinga tedohsa-a kakoi ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye. Ajeh chu, nangman keima neisumiltan, jouva kisemdoh pathen ho chu na tahsan tai.
26 I also have made bare thy skirts before thy face, And thy shame hath been seen.
Hijeh’a chu, keima mong mong in na ponsil kahodoh peh’a, najamo geiya kimu ding ahiye.
27 Thine adulteries, and thy neighings, The wickedness of thy whoredom, on heights in a field, I have seen thine abominations. Woe to thee, O Jerusalem, Thou art not cleansed, after when [is it] again?
Keiman, nathilbol thet umtah ho, mito najon thanhoina, kidah umtah nachonna ho, Chule loujao tinleh thinglhang’a doilim semthu nahouna, kamusoh keiyin ahi. Ohe ada nahi, Vo Jerusalem! Na kisuhthengna dinga phat itihchan lutding ham? “ati.
