Jeremiah 17
1 The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, With the point of a diamond, Graven on the tablet of their heart, And on the horns of your altars,
Pakaiyin aseiye, “Judahte chonset hi, thih-mol hemtah khat’a kijih’a, chule songmantam ning-hem khat’a kijih’a, song bang’a tah alungsung uva chu kijihlut peh’a, chule amaicham phung ningho’a kigeilult peh ahitauve’’ ati.
2 As their sons remember their altars and their shrines, By the green tree, by the high hills.
Molvum tin leh thingphung tin’a, asemdoh u milim doi pathen maicham leh Ahsherah pathenu melchihna kitunna min jouse, achateu kisen acheuvin chibai agaboh jiuve.
3 O My mountain in the field — thy strength, All thy treasures — for a prey I give, Thy high places for sin in all thy borders.
Hijeh’a chu, nagamsung uva nahaona jouseu leh nakholdoh jouseu, chuleh na maicham phung jouseu chu, nachonset jeh uva, namelmateu khut’a kapehdoh diu nahitauve.
4 And thou hast let go — even through thyself, Of thine inheritance that I gave to thee, And I have caused thee to serve thine enemies, In a land that thou hast not known, For a fire ye have kindled in Mine anger, Unto the age it doth burn.
Chule nagoulo dinga kapehdohsa jong chu nangma khut’a kon’a kitoldoh’a nalhaso ding ahi. Keiman namelmate khut’a kapehdoh ding, nangman nahetkhah louhel gam’a sohchang a naumding ahi. Ajeh chu, kalunghanna meikou bangin akou jengtan, aitih’a kou jing ding ahitai.
5 Thus said Jehovah: Cursed [is] the man who doth trust in man, And hath made flesh his arm, And from Jehovah whose heart turneth.
Pakaiyin aseiye, “Pakaiya kon’a alungthim kiheimanga, mihem’a kisonga chuleh mihem thahat kisonpi hochu gaosap changhen, ati.
6 And he hath been as a naked thing in a desert, And doth not see when good cometh, And hath inhabited parched places in a wilderness, A salt land, and not inhabited.
Hitobang michu, nelgam’a hamphung keh tobangbep ahiuvin, kinepna ding ima aneipouve. Amaho chu gamthip leigo lah’a cheng hidiu, mihem chenna theilou chilei lah’a cheng hidiu ahi.
7 Blessed [is] the man who trusteth in Jehovah, And whose confidence hath been Jehovah.
Amavang, koi hileh, Pakaiya kingaiya, chule akinepna leh akisonna Pakai hijingpa chu anunnom ahi.
8 And hath been as a tree planted by waters, And by a rivulet he sendeth forth his roots, And he doth not see when heat cometh, And his leaf hath been green, And in a year of dearth he is not sorrowful, Nor doth he cease from making fruit.
Amaho chu luipanga thingphung keh tobangm twi lah’a thuhtah’a ajung kholut’a hingjing tobang ahiuve. Hitobang thingphung chun, nipilai nisat ding leh gotwi lhahlou ding agingpoi. Aphatseh in ana ahingjing in chule aphatchan agadoh jing in ahi, ati.
9 Crooked [is] the heart above all things, And it [is] incurable — who doth know it?
Mihem lungsung hi, adang jouse sanga phatlouna leh lheplhahna dimset a, sea ahitai. Mihem lungsung hekhen them ding koiham?
10 I Jehovah do search the heart, try the reins, Even to give to each according to his way, According to the fruit of his doings.
Amavang, kei Pakaiyin miho lunggil jouse kakhol toh jin, achonnau dungjuiyin kape cheh jin ahi.
11 A partridge hatching, and not bringing forth, [Is] one making wealth, and not by right, In the midst of his days he doth forsake it, And in his latter end — he is a fool.
Adihlouva sum mkua haodohpa chu, athah louhel midang twi oppeh tobang ahi. Ama chu ahin hoilai tah’a, ahaona ho hung'ah mang ding; Achaina le, achunga vaichatna leh ngolna hung chu ding ahi.
12 A throne of honour on high from the beginning, The place of our sanctuary,
Amavang, na laltouna tonsot’a umjing chu, sangtah le loupitah ahin, keihon nangma chibai kaboh jing uve.
13 The hope of Israel [is] Jehovah, All forsaking Thee are ashamed, And 'My apostates' in the earth are written, For they have forsaken Jehovah, A fountain of living waters.
Vo Pakai, Israel mite kinepna! Nanga kon’a kiheimanga nadalha ho abon'uva kijumso diu ahi. Ajeh chu, amahon Pakai anungsun’uva, hinna twinah jong adalhah tah jeh’un, amaho leivui lah a kivui diu ahitai.
14 Heal me, O Jehovah, and I am healed, Save me, and I am saved, for my praise [art] Thou.
Vo Pakai, keima neidam sah in, chutile damtheng tange, neihuhhing in chutileh hinna tahbeh kachan ding ahi. Chuteng keiman nang jeng bou kavahchoi ding nahi.
15 Lo, they are saying unto me: 'Where [is] the word of Jehovah? pray, let it come.'
Vetan, mihon ei-enghouvun, kajah’a “Pakaiya kon naphondoh ho chu iti hitam? Ibol’a nathusei ho guilhung lou ham?’’ atiuve.
16 And I hastened not from feeding after Thee, And the desperate day I have not desired, Thou — Thou hast known, The produce of my lips, before Thy face it hath been,
Pakai, namite chingtup’a neipansahna katong jing e. Namite chunga thohgimna alhun ding kadeipoi. Kakamsung sohsa kathusei ho abon’a nahetsoh ahi.
17 Be not Thou to me for a terror, My hope [art] Thou in a day of evil.
Pakai, kichat tijat umtah in neibol hih in! Ajeh chu nikhophalou hunglhun nia, kakiselna leh kakinepna nangbou nahi.
18 Let my pursuers be ashamed, and let not me be ashamed — me! Let them be affrighted, and let not me be affrighted — me! Bring in on them a day of evil, And a second time [with] destruction destroy them.
Keima bolsea pangho chunga jum le ja lhunsah in, Amavang keiman jum le ja kathoh ding ho’a konin neihuh doh in. Amaho chung joh’a tijat naleh manthahna, alenia nasajon lhunsah in.
19 Thus said Jehovah unto me: 'Go, and thou hast stood in the gate of the sons of the people, by which kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all gates of Jerusalem,
Pakaiyin kajah’a hitin aseiye, “Chenlang Jerusalem khopi kelkot phung jousea gadingin. Amasan Judah lengte lut leh potna kelkot’a gadingin; chujoule kelkot dangho jong gakhol suh in.’’
20 and thou hast said unto them: Hear a word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all inhabitants of Jerusalem, who are coming in by these gates,
Miho jouse henga seiyin, “Judah lengte leh Jerusalem a cheng Judah mite jouse, hiche hi, Pakai thusei ahi, ngaiyun.’’
21 Thus said Jehovah, Take ye heed to yourselves, And ye bear not a burden on the day of rest, Nor have ye brought [it] in by the gates of Jerusalem.
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Nahinkho diuvin kigingphauvin, kasei hi ngaiyun. Sabbath nikhon Jerusalem kelkot ho’a, na sumkol veinau thilho pohlut leh pohdoh bol hih un.
22 Nor do ye take out a burden from your houses on the day of rest, Yea, any work ye do not do, And ye have sanctified the day of rest, As I have commanded your fathers.
Sabbath nikho’n nangma insung cheh’a jong, natong hih un. Amavang, napu napateu henga thupeh kapehsa bangin, Sabbath nikho chu atheng in nit jing un.’’
23 And they have not hearkened nor inclined their ear, And they stiffen their neck not to hear, And not to receive instruction.
Ahinlah, amahon kathusei hi angaipouve. Louchal tah in aum uvin, kathupeh jouse donlouvin akoi uve.
24 And it hath been, if ye certainly hearken unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah, So as not to bring in a burden By the gates of this city on the day of rest, And to sanctify the day of rest, So as not to do in it any work —
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Amavang, nanghon kathupeh chengse najui uva, Sabbath nikho chu theng tah’a nanit dingu ahi. Hiche nikhole kelkot dunga thil napoh le lou diu, chule na natohlou diu ahi.
25 Then entered by the gates of this city have kings and princes, Sitting on the throne of David, Riding in a chariot, and on horses, They, and their princes, the man of Judah, And inhabitants of Jerusalem, And this city hath remained to the age.
Chutengle, lengho leh achapateu kelkot hoa chu lutle potle jing diu, chule leng David laltouna chu alah uva umjing ding ahi. Lengho leh achapateu chu kangtalai leh sakol chunga tou’uva, Judah mipite toh kilhonlut le jing diu ahitai.
26 And they have come in from cities of Judah, And from suburbs of Jerusalem, And from the land of Benjamin, And from the low country, And from the hill-country, and from the south, Bringing in burnt-offering, and sacrifice, And present, and frankincense, And bringing praise [to] the house of Jehovah.
Chutah le, Jerusalem kimvel’a kon, Judah gamsung leh Benjamin gamsung khopi jousea kon, thinglhang gam’a kon, chule Negep gam’a kon in, mipi tamtah hung kikhom uvintin, amahon govam thilto, kilhaina gamtha, chang le bego thilto chule thangvahna thilto tampi, Pakai houin sung a ahinpohlut diu ahi.
27 And if ye do not hearken unto me to sanctify the day of rest, And so as not to bear a burden, And to come in at the gates of Jerusalem on the day of rest, Then I have kindled a fire in its gates, And it hath consumed the high places of Jerusalem, And it is not quenched!'
Amavang, nanghon kathusei na ngaidauva, chule Sabbath nikho chu atheng’a nanit lou’uleh; Chule Sabbath nikho’a jong, Jerusalem kelkot dunga nikho dang banga, nathil hou napohlut leuleh; Veuvin, keiman kelkot phung dunga mei kahal ding, hichua leng inpiho geiya akahlhah ding, koiman aphelmit joulou hel ding ahi,’’ati.
