Jeremiah 3
1 Saying, 'Lo, one sendeth away his wife, And she hath gone from him, And she hath been to another man, Doth he turn back unto her again? Greatly defiled is not that land? And thou hast committed whoredom with many lovers, And turn again to Me, an affirmation of Jehovah.
Vetan, pasal khat in ajinu ada-a, amanu chu achemanga michomtoh akichenteng, ajiluipa chu amanu heng’a galutji mong am? Chutitaleh, amanuchun gamsung pumpi chu asuhboh ding ahitai. Israel, nangjong nadongma tamtah angsunga noti banga naum nunga, ibol’a kahenga hung kile kit go nahim? tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
2 Lift thine eyes to the high places, and see, Where hast thou not been lain with? On the ways thou hast sat for them, As an Arab in a wilderness, And thou defilest the land, By thy fornications, and by thy wickedness.
Khodah in lhangvum lai laiya doiphung hokhu ven, semthu pathen chom chomho chibai nabohlouna mun um am? Gamthip noiya noti bangin, nachangin natouvin, setpi dingin kholche vahle ho nangah in, nachonna ho jouse chun gamsung pumpi asuhboh ahitai.
3 And withheld are showers, and gathered rain hath not been. The forehead of a whorish woman thou hast, Thou hast refused to be ashamed.
Hiche jehtah chun, aphat phat’a hung julhaji go leh dai jong atangtai. Ajeh chu, jumleh ja helouhel in noti bangin, nangma nachontai.
4 Hast thou not henceforth called to Me, 'My father, Thou [art] the leader of my youth?
Ahivang in tuhin kajah’a, “Nangma kapa nahin, kaneova pat neihin khoukhah jing ahi,’’ nati.
5 Doth He keep to the age? watch for ever?' Lo, these things thou hast spoken, And thou dost the evil things, and prevailest.
“Kachunga lunghang denpon natin chuleh atonsot in nei lunghan denpon nate,’’ nati. Ahin hitia naseivangin, nangman nanop nop in ase naboljingin, nachon namlhah nanga dehpoi,’’ ati.
6 And Jehovah saith unto me, in the days of Josiah the king, 'Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? She is going on every high mountain, and unto the place of every green tree, and committeth fornication there.
Josiah lengpa nikholaiyin, Pakaiyin kajah’a thu ahinseitai, “Israel in kitahlouhel’a, thilse hichengpi aboldoh hi, namu hitalou ham? Numei aji umkhat michom toh ajon bangin, lhangsanglai jousea thingphungnoi tin’a, noti chon banga achon’a chuleh pathen semthu ho ahou jingkhu, nahetsoh hilou ham?’’
7 And I say, after her doing all these, Unto Me thou dost turn back, and she hath not turned back, and see [it] doth her treacherous sister Judah.
Hicheho pikhu gaboldoh jongleh, keima heng’a hung kilekit teidin kanangah’e. Ahivangin amanu ahungkilekit dehpon, chuleh achonthanghoina ho chu, asopinu michavai Judah chun akimudoh sohkit ahitai.
8 And I see when (for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery) I have sent her away, and I give the bill of her divorce unto her, that treacherous Judah her sister hath not feared, and goeth and committeth fornication — she also.
Israel chu michom toh ajon’a, kitahlou tah’a aumjeh’a, keiman amachu kada-a kadelmang ahichu, asopinu Judah in amusoh ahitai. Ahivangin, michavainu Judah in, hitiho chu kichat in aneidehpoi. Keiya konin amanu avahmangin, noti chon in achontai.
9 And it hath come to pass, from the vileness of her fornication, that the land is defiled, and she committeth fornication with stone and with wood.
Amanun noti chon’a achonna chu imalouvin agel’in, thingphung songphung ahouvin, chuleh mitoh ajongin gamsung asubohtai.
10 And even in all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned back unto Me with all her heart, but with falsehood, an affirmation of Jehovah.'
Ahinlah hichengse abolnungin jong, asopinu michavainu Judah chu kahenga lungtheng selin ahung kilekit dehpon, amanun akisih banga abol jouse hi, kilepna-a abolthu ahibouve, tin keima Pakaiyin kasei ahitai.
11 And Jehovah saith unto me: 'Justified herself hath backsliding Israel, More than treacherous Judah.
Chuin Pakaiyin kajah’a, “Israel chu achonchatvai lheh vang'in, asopinu Judah kitah louna sangin athemmona alhomjoi.”
12 Go, and thou hast proclaimed these words toward the north, and hast said, Turn back, O backsliding Israel, An affirmation of Jehovah! I cause not Mine anger to fall upon you, For I [am] kind, an affirmation of Jehovah, I watch not to the age.
Hijeh chun, Israel henga chenlang, hiche thuhi gaseitan, “Vo Israel, kitahlou kamite nahiuve, tun kahenga hung kilekit tauvin. Ajeh chu keima khoto them leh hepi them kahin, atonsot in nachung’a lunghang jing ponge,’’ ati.
13 Only, know thine iniquity, For against Jehovah thy God thou hast transgressed, And thou dost scatter thy ways to strangers, Under every green tree, And to My voice thou hast not hearkened, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Nathemmona kihet in, Pakai na Pathen douna-a nachonset naho, thingphungnoi tin’a doilim pathen ho nahouva, chuleh mitoh najon naho chu, phongdoh poupouvin. Nangman kathusei jouse jong nangai poi,’’ tin Pakayin kaphondoh ahitai.
14 Turn back, O backsliding sons, An affirmation of Jehovah. For I have ruled over you, And taken you one of a city, and two of a family, And have brought you to Zion,
Vo kitahlou vahmang chate, keima henga hung kilekit uvin, tin Pakaiyin aseiye. Ijeh inem itileh, keima nangho dinga na Pakaiyu kahi. Keiman nangho munchom chom’a pat’a kalahkhom ding, khopi khat’a mini kalah ding, Israel gamsung’a kahin lepuilut ding nahiuve, “ati.
15 And I have given to you shepherds According to Mine own heart, And they have fed you with knowledge and understanding.
Chuleh keiman kadeitah, nangho kelngoi chinbanga nachingtup diu khat kapeh ding nahiuve. Aman nangho chunga hetna leh thil hetkhen themna toh tho’a, napuihoi diu ahi.
16 And it hath come to pass, when ye are multiplied, And have been fruitful in the land, In those days — an affirmation of Jehovah, They say not any more, 'The ark of the covenant of Jehovah,' Nor doth it go up on the heart, Nor do they remember concerning it, Nor do they inspect, nor is it made again.
Chuleh nangho napunbe cheh cheh uva, gamsung chu nadimset teng uleh, Pakai kitepna thingkong naputleuva nakipanau nikholai chu ngaitapouvin nate. Gel jong nageldoh tahlou diu chuleh hiche nikholai chu nalungvil kit tahlou diu, chuleh thingkong jong nasemphat kit tahlou diu ahi,’’ tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
17 At that time they cry to Jerusalem, 'O throne of Jehovah,' And gathered unto her hath been all the nations, For the name of Jehovah, to Jerusalem, Nor do they go any more after the stubbornness of their evil heart.
Hiche nikho chuleh, Jerusalem chu Pakai laltouna kiti ding, namtin jouse Jerusalem’a hung kikhom’uva Pakai chu ajabol diu ahi. Chuphatleh amaho louchal tah’a umtalou diu, chuleh alung’uva gitlouna agelbang uva chu chontalou diu ahi.
18 In those days do the house of Judah Go unto the house of Israel, And they come together from the land of the south, unto the land That I caused your fathers to inherit.
Chuche nikholeh, Judah leh Israel mite chu asohchannau sahlam gam’a pat’a, hung kilekhom kit uva, keiman apu apateu kapehsa gamsung’a chu hunglut kit’uva, aitih’a gamsung chu aloden diu ahitai.
19 And I have said, How do I put thee among the sons, And give to thee a desirable land, A beauteous inheritance of the hosts of nations, And I say, My father — ye do call to Me, And from after Me ye do not turn back.
Keiman kanagel chu, “Nanghi kachateho lah’a kasimtha-a, keiman hiche gam leiset hoitah leh aphapen hi, nang kapehdoh nahi. Chuleh nangma keiya kon’a avel’a napotdoh kittah louding ahi.
20 But — a woman hath deceived her friend, So ye have dealt treacherously with Me, O house of Israel, an affirmation of Jehovah.
Ahivangin vo Israel mite! Nangho keiya dingin kitahna beikei nahiuve. Tahbeh mongin, numei kitahloutah khat in ajipa adalhah’a chavaitah’a achon bang’a, nangma naum ahitai, “tin keima Pakaiyin kasei ahitai.
21 A voice on high places is heard — weeping, Supplications of the sons of Israel, For they have made perverse their way, They have forgotten Jehovah their God.
Lhangvum chaivet vut’a kon, ogin nasatah akijai, hichu Israrel chate kana leh thumna ogin ahi. Ajeh chu amahon achenau lampi chu akaleh lam in akilhen un, chuleh Pakai a Pathen’u chu asumiltauvin ahi.
22 Turn back, O backsliding sons, I cause your backslidings to cease. — Behold us, we have come to Thee, For Thou [art] Jehovah our God.
Pakaiyin aseiye,’’ Kitahna bei kamite, kahenga hung kilekit’uvin, chuleh keiman nakitahlounau lungthim chu kabol dam ding ahi,’’ ati. Amahon adonbut’un, “Nahenga kahungtauve! Ijeh inem itileh, nangma keiho Pakai leh ka Pathen’u nahibouve, atiuvin ahi.
23 Surely in vain from the heights, The multitude of mountains — Surely in Jehovah our God [is] the salvation of Israel.
Thinglhang jousea semthu doilim ihouva, chuleh molsangvum tin’a doi houna maicham phung iboljouse hi, abon’a pannabei leh kilhep lhahna ahibouve. Tahbeh mongin, Israel dingin huhhingna chu Pakai I Pathen uva bou um ahi.
24 And the shameful thing hath devoured The labour of our fathers from our youth, Their flock and their herd, Their sons and their daughters.
Neolaiya pat’a ihinmu jing’u, pulehpa ten gimtah’a – akelngoiho ding, aganchaho ding, chuleh achapate leh achanute ding, abol jouseu jong chu pannabei leh kilheplhahna ahibouve.
25 We have lain down in our shame, and cover us doth our confusion, For against Jehovah our God we have sinned, We, and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, Nor have we hearkened to the voice of Jehovah our God!
Eiho tun jum manin tol’ah kijam’u hitin, mihon noisetah’a ibolnau chu kikhuden sah’ute. Ajeh chu eiho leh iputeuvin, Pakai I Pathen’u dounan chonset inaboltauve. Ajeh chu eihon ineolaiyuva pat tuni geiyin I Pathen’u ogin ingaipouvin chuleh ijuitapouve.
