Jeremiah 15
1 Chuin kahenga thu ahinseitai, “Mose leh Samuel, ka-angsung’ah hung ding lhon jongleh, hiche mite din hung tao lhon jongle, Keiman amaho din kalung heidoh ponge. Amaho chu ka-angsunga kon in soldoh loiyin, kamuphah na-ah um, dau hen! ati.
And the Lord said to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before my face, my soul could not be toward them: dismiss this people, and let them go forth.
2 Chule ijemtia amahon, “Hoilang kasuhdiu ham?” tia ahinsei uleh, Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Athiding a umho chuthidiu ahi. Chemjam’a louding ho chu chemjam’a loudiu ahi. Kel thohding ho chu kel athoh diu ahi. Sohchang dingho chu sohchang diu ahi. Tipeh in,” ati.
And it shall be, if they say to you, Whither shall we go forth? then you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord; As many as are for death, to death; and as many as are for famine, to famine; and as many as are for the sword, to the sword; and as many as are for captivity, to captivity.
3 Keiman achunguva gimneitah manthahna thil li kagonsa um ahitai. Galmun’a chemjam’a thidiu, Athi longu uichaten akaithang diu, chungleng vachaten asa aneh diu; chule anehmoh chengseu chu gamsa hon anehchai diu, ahi.
And I will punish them with four kinds [of death], says the Lord, the sword to kill, and the dogs to tear, and the wild beasts of the earth, and the birds of the sky to devour and destroy.
4 Ajeh chu, Judah lengpa Hezekiah chapa Manasseh in, Jerusalem a alengchan laiya, thilphalou anabol ho lethuhna-a, keiman ama hohi, leiset chung a lenggam jouse mudia, timul kithona leu dinga kaumsah ahitai.
And I will deliver them up for distress to all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasses son of Ezekias king of Juda, for all that he did in Jerusalem.
5 Vo Jerusalem, nang chunga dip dam ding koiham? Koiham nang dia lhasea kap ding chu? Nakhankho khohsah’a, iti nakhosah hinam, tia nadongle ding koipen hung ding ham?
Who will spare you, O Jerusalem? and who will fear for you? or who will turn back [to ask] for your welfare?
6 Nangin keima neidalhah’a, neinungsun ahitai, tin Pakaiyin aseiye. Hijeh chun, nangma dounan kakhut kalhangin, kasuhmang ding nahitai. Nang dinga lung khaikhi bol bol jong kachimtai.
You have turned away from me, says the Lord, you will go back: therefore I will stretch out my hand, and will destroy you, and will no more spare them.
7 Keiman nang hohi, changsi kijapchil bang a, nakhopiu kotphung dunga kajap chil ding; na it tah’u nachateu kasuhmang ding ahi. Chule keiman kamite kasuhgamding; Ajeh chu, amahon athilse bolu adalha nompouve.
And I will completely scatter them; in the gates of my people they are bereaved of children: they have destroyed my people because of their iniquities.
8 Agamsunguva meithai pung cheh cheh ding, twikhang len pang a neldi sanga tamjo ding ahi. Chule sunchang laiya, khangdong ho nute sugam ding kahin lhalut ding. Achunguva tijat umtah phulou helouva kachusah ding ahi.
Their widows have been multiplied more than the sand of the sea: I have brought young men against the mother, [even] distress at noon-day: I have suddenly cast upon her trembling and anxiety.
9 Cha sagi jen hingnu jong ahaisamtai. Haina ding hu aneijou tapoi. Amanu din sunchanglai jong chu muthim asoh tan, amanun cha aneitapoi. Jum le ja nasatah athoh in alung nalheh e. Chuleh ahing nalai amoh chengse jong chu, Keiman melmate chemjam’a kaleu sah ding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
She that bore seven is spent; her soul has fainted under trouble; her sun is gone down while it is yet noon; she is ashamed and disgraced: I will give the remnant of them to the sword before their enemies.
10 Hichun keiman,”Ohe ada kahitai! Ibol’a hibanga hesoh genthei thoh’a hi kanun eihindoh ham? Gamsung pumpia kache nalam lam’a, miho hotbol kachangin ahi. Keiman sumpa kaphal khapon, sum bat jong kala khapoi. Ahivangin, mihon kei jong eigaosap taove,” kati.
Woe is me, [my] mother! you have born me as some man of strife, and at variance with the whole earth; I have not helped [others], nor has any one helped me; my strength has failed among them that curse me.
11 Pakaiyin eidonbut in, “Olmo hih in, keiman nangma kaumpi nai! Namelmate chu, nahung joldiu, hungtaodiu ahi.
Be it so, Lord, in their prosperity; surely I stood before you in the time of their calamities, and in the time of their affliction, for [their] good against the enemy.
12 Koiham sahlam gamkaiya hungkon, thih lhon khat ahilouleh thih le sum-eng kihal lhonkhatong jou ding chu?
Will iron be known? whereas your strength is a brazen covering.
13 Keiman man beihel’a, nathil kholsa nanei nagou chengse abon’a, nagalmite khut’a kapehdoh ding ahi. Ajeh chu gamsung pumpia nachonset nau anasa behseh jengtai.
Yes, I will give your treasures for a spoil as a recompence, because of all your sins and [that] in all your borders.
14 Hijeh’a chu, nanghon nahetphah lou nau gamsung khat’a, midang ho soh’a naga pandiu ahi. Ajeh chu, kei kalung ahang behseh jengin, meikou bangin ahung lengdoh tan, hichu aitih’a kong jing jeng ding ahitai” ati.
And I will enslave you to your enemies round about, in a land which you have not known; for a fire has been kindled out of my wrath; it shall burn upon you.
15 Chuin keiman, “O Pakai, nangin kachunga thil lhung ho nahenai! Hung in neihung panpin, chule eibol engseho chunga phu neihung lahpeh tan; neidalha louvin, nangma jal’a housetna katoh hi neihet peh teiyin.
O Lord, remember me, and visit me, and vindicate me before them that persecute me; do not bear long with them; know how I have met with reproach for your sake, from those who set at nothing your words;
16 Thu nasei chengse akimusoh tan, abonchan an neh in kanetai; nathusei jouse keima din kipa thanopna ahin, ajeh chu keima hi nangma mina kouna chang kahi, O Pakai, thanei chungnung Pathen.
consume them; and your word shall be to me for the joy and gladness of my heart: for your name has been called upon me, O Lord Almighty.
17 Golnop bol lah’a jong kalha hih laijin, thanopna jong kana nei khapoi. Kachunga nakhut achuhtah jeh in, keima changseh in kalhan; ajeh chu nalung phatmo nan neidipset ahi.
I have not sat in the assembly of them as they mocked, but I feared because of your power: I sat alone, for I was filled with bitterness.
18 I-atileh kadammona sang cheh cheh’a kachunga hama jong suhdam theilouva uma, damdoh theilou hel hitam? Nang jong milhemji vadung tobanga, pannabei twi hotoh nabah hitam?
Why do they that grieve me prevail against me? my wound is severe; whence shall I be healed? it is indeed become to me as deceitful water, that has no faithfulness.
19 Hijeh chun Pakaiyin aseije, “Nangma nahung kihei kit’a ahileh keiman nangma kasem thah ding, chuteng keima ang-sunga nadin thei ding ahi. Chule nangman phachom tahtah naseidoh ding, kakam sunga napan a; chuteng amaho nangma lama hung kihei diu, nangma vang amaho lama nakihei tahlou ding ahi.
Therefore thus says the Lord, If you will return, then will I restore you, and you shall stand before my face: and if you will bring forth the precious from the worthless, you shall be as my mouth: and they shall return to you; but you shall not return to them.
20 Hiche mitea kon hi keiman nangma sum-eng kikaikhum thobanga kasem ding, chuteng amahon nangma gal’a nahinbol diu; ahivanga amahon najo lou diu ahi. Ajeh chu nangma huhdoh ding in keima kaum jingnai tin Pakai, Pathen in aseiye.
And I will make you to this people as a strong brazen wall; and they shall fight against you, but they shall by no means prevail against you;
21 Keiman migentheite khut’a kon kahuhdoh ding, dip damna beihel ho maiphavetna a kon kalhatdoh ding nahi,” ati.
for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you out of the hand of wicked [men]; and I will ransom you out of the hand of pestilent [men].
