Jeremiah 18
1 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
Pakaiyin Jeremiah heng’a hitin aseiye,
2 Rise, and thou hast gone down [to] the potter's house, and there I cause thee to hear My words;
“Beldengpa in-ah khun gachesuh in, chukom’a chu keiman najah’a thu kaseiding ahi,’’ ati.
3 and I go down [to] the potter's house, and lo, he is doing a work on the stones,
Chuin, Pakaiyin asei bang chun, keima beldengpan kang apeija pontho tah’a bel asempet katoh in ahi.
4 and marred is the vessel that he is making, as clay in the hand of the potter, and he hath turned and he maketh it another vessel, as it was right in the eyes of the potter to make.
Aman abel denchu, adeibang tah’a asodoh louteng, bellei chun asugoiyin, thilchom in asemdoh jitai.
5 And there is a word of Jehovah to me, saying:
Pakaiyin kahenga hitin aseiye,
6 As this potter am I not able to do to you? O house of Israel, an affirmation of Jehovah. Lo, as clay in the hand of the potter, So [are] ye in My hand, O house of Israel.
Vo Israel, beldengpan leingan chu adei deiya asemdohji banga, keiman nanghohi kabolmo nahiuvem? Bellei chu beldengpa thu thua asembang a, nangho jong kakhut’a um nahiuve.
7 The moment I speak concerning a nation, And concerning a kingdom, To pluck up and to break down, and to destroy,
Keiman namkhat ham ahiloule lenggam khat ham chu, ajung bodoh’a suhmang ding kati teng,
8 And that nation hath turned from its evil, Because I have spoken against it, Then I have repented of the evil that I thought to do to it.
Hiche nam mite chun, agitlounauva kon’a lung ahin heikituva, ahung kilehei kit ule; Keiman achunguva boldinga kagelhuhsa thilsea kon’a, kalung kakhel kitding ahi.
9 And the moment I speak concerning a nation, And concerning a kingdom, to build, and to plant,
Alangkhat a, namkhat ham ahiloule lenggam khat ham chu, kasemphat a kaphudet ding ahi tia, kaphondohsa ahitai.
10 And it hath done the evil thing in Mine eyes, So as not to hearken to My voice, Then I have repented of the good That I have spoken of doing to it.
Ahivanga, hiche mite chun, kamitmua thilse leh thilphalou abol uva, kathusei angailou ule, kalung kakhelkit jing ding, phatthei kabohlou heldiu ahi, ati.
11 And now, speak, I pray thee, unto men of Judah, And against inhabitants of Jerusalem, Saying: Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am framing against you evil, And devising against you a device, Turn back, I pray you, each from his evil way And amen your ways and your doings.
Hitijeh chun, tun chenlang, Judahte leh Jerusalem mite gaseipeh in: “Pakaiyin aseiye, Nangho douna kathilgon, nachunguva talen kamatsah ding koncha ahitai. Hijeh chun nangho ami takip chu, nagitlounauva kon in hung kilehei kit uvin chuleh kisemphauvin,’’ati.
12 And they have said, It is incurable, For after our own devices we do go, And each the stubbornness of his evil heart we do.
Ahinlah amahon adonbut uvin, “Hichu pannabei naphat mansah ahibouve. Keiho kalungtah nom ule lungtah ungting, thilse kadei ule kadei dei boltah tangu, ipi khoh am?’’ atiuve.
13 Therefore, thus said Jehovah: Ask, I pray you, among the nations, Who hath heard like these? A very horrible thing hath the virgin of Israel done.
Hijeh chun Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Namtin vaipi lah’a jong gadong leuvin. Hitobang thuhi ahekha koi um am? Kachanu deitah Israel in thil kidah um tahtah aboltai.
14 Doth snow of Lebanon Cease from the rock of the field? Failed are the cold strange waters that flow?
Lebanon molsang vum’a buhbang beikha a, chule gamla tah a hiche molsang ho’a kon’a hung longdoh twidapjen vadung ho kang kha am?
15 But My people have forgotten Me, to a vain thing they make perfume, And they cause them to stumble in their ways — paths of old, To walk in paths — a way not raised up,
Ahinlah, kamiten kitahna aneipouve. Amahon keima einungsun’un, pannabei semthu doilim hounan gim namtwi ahaltauve. Achena diu lamlen chu kiselhuhnan aneiyun, lampi dihlouva alamlha gamtauve.
16 To make their land become a desolation, A hissing age-during, Every passer by it is astonished, And bemoaneth with his head.
Hijeh’a chu, agamsung u akeova kijam ding ahi. Ajeh chu, amahon thil kidah umtah tampi aboltauve. Agamsungu jotpa tapou tija lihdiu, chule alu-u athinkhum diu ahi.
17 As an east wind I scatter them before an enemy, The neck, and not the face, I shew them, In the day of their calamity.'
Nisolam khohuiyin leivui vanpil thena anei banga, keiman kamite chu, amelmateu masanga, kathecheh gamdiu ahi. Chule hesoh genthei, hamsetna ato niuleh, keiman kanung kangatding, kapanhu louhel diu ahi,’’ati.
18 And they say, Come, And we devise against Jeremiah devices, For law doth not perish from the priest, Nor counsel from the wise, Nor the word from the prophet, Come, and we smite him with the tongue, And we do not attend to any of his words.
Hichun amahon aseiyun, “Hung un, Jeremiah hi alonaje ding khat gongu hite. Eiho eihil uva eiphoh diu thempu ho, miching ho chule themgao ho tampi ineinauve. Eihon hichepa hi ingaichapouve, athusei ho ngapih pou hitin, ama douna thujoh haseiyin seiyu hite,’’ atiuve.
19 Give attention, O Jehovah, unto me, And hearken to the voice of those contending with me.
Vo Pakai, neikhoh sah inlang nei panpin, Kamelma ten kachunga eidounau thu asei chengseu hi, neihet peh in, katao ahi.
20 Is evil recompensed instead of good, That they have dug a pit for my soul? Remember my standing before Thee to speak good of them, To turn back Thy wrath from them.
Thilpha chu thilsea kilethuh angai mong ham? Amahon kathina ding kokhuh alaiyun, kenla amaho dingin na-ang sunga taona kaneiyun; Achunguva nalunghan achuh lou nadin kappum in kataopeh in ahi. Nangin hingeldoh tei teiyin.
21 Therefore, give up their sons to famine, And cause them to run on the sides of the sword, And their wives are bereaved and widows, And their men are slain by death, Their young men smitten by sword in battle,
Hijeh chun, achateu kel thohsah inlang, Amaho abonchauvin chemjam in lousah in. Ajinuteu cha neilouvin abonchauvin meithai soh uhen, Tehse hou natna in thiu hen, chule golhang ho galmun’a chemjam in satgam uhen.
22 A cry is heard from their houses, For Thou bringest against them suddenly a troop, For they dug a pit to capture me, And snares they have hidden for my feet.
Hetman louvin, amaho chu gal miten lhunkhum uhen, A-injouseuva ka le mao ogin kijasoh kei hen. Ajeh chu amahon keima thina ding kokhuh alaiyun, chule kalam lhahna-a thang akam leleuve.
23 And Thou, O Jehovah, Thou hast known, All their counsel against me [is] for death, Thou dost not cover over their iniquity, Nor their sin from before Thee blottest out, And they are made to stumble before Thee, In the time of Thine anger work against them!
Vo Pakai, kei thana dinga athilgon’u abonchan nangman nahei. Athilse bol’u chulnampih hih in, chule achonsetnau jong ngaidam hih beh in. Nalunghan nachun amaho hi bolgim inlang, na-ang sunga thisah jeng in, kati ahi.
