Jeremiah 50
1 The word that Yahweh spoke concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by Jeremiah the prophet.
Chaldea gam Babylon thudol, Pakaiyin Jeremiah themgao henga hiti hin thu aseiyin ahi.
2 “Declare among the nations and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and don’t conceal; say, ‘Babylon has been taken, Bel is disappointed, Merodach is dismayed! Her images are disappointed. Her idols are dismayed.’
“Namtin chunga phongjal un seichoi jun, ponlap khaisang un chule akisel guh beijin samphong un; ajeh chu Babylon chu akijousoh hel in, Bel in jumna atoh in chule Marduk alung lhada lheh jeng tai. Khopi sung milim semthu ho abonchan akithe cheh gamtan, pathen lim semthu jouse jong pannabei asohgam tai,” tin seiyun.
3 For a nation comes up out of the north against her, which will make her land desolate, and no one will dwell in it. They have fled. They are gone, both man and animal.
“Ijeh-inem itileh khopi toh kidou din sahlam gamkaiya pat nam mite khat ahung tauvin, hiche nam mite chun agam sung pumpi asuh manghel diu; avel’a koima kilah kit talou ding ahi. Chule mihem ahin, gamsa jeng jong anitah a jam mang ding ahi.”
4 “In those days, and in that time,” says Yahweh, “the children of Israel will come, they and the children of Judah together; they will go on their way weeping, and will seek Yahweh their God.
Pakaiyin hiti hin aseiye, “Hiche nikho leh phatlai hin Israel chate ahin, Judah chate in lam jon’a hung kile diu ahi. Kap pum pum’a hung diu, Pakai Pathen ahin hol diu ahi.”
5 They will inquire concerning Zion with their faces turned toward it, saying, ‘Come, and join yourselves to Yahweh in an everlasting covenant that will not be forgotten.’
Chuteng amahon Zion jotna lampi mi ahin doh diu, hiche lam chu ahin ngaidiu, “Hung un a-itih a isuhmil lou diu le atonsot’a kinepna chu Pakai henga eima cheh’in kitepna sem u-hite,” tia asei diu ahi.
6 My people have been lost sheep. Their shepherds have caused them to go astray. They have turned them away on the mountains. They have gone from mountain to hill. They have forgotten their resting place.
“Chule keima mite chu kelngoi vah-mangsa ahiuve, kelngoi chin’a ching hochun amaho ana puimang gam tauvin ahi. Molchung holah’a ana hoidoh un, molchunga pat’in thinglhang lam jon in acheu vin, hiti chun abitnau asumil gam-tauve.”
7 All who found them have devoured them. Their adversaries said, ‘We are not guilty, because they have sinned against Yahweh, the habitation of righteousness, even Yahweh, the hope of their fathers.’
Chuin amaho toh-kha chan chun asugep hel ji tauvin, amaho douva pang hon jong aseiyun, “Eiho themmona aum poi, ijeh-inem itileh a-Pakaiyu, achennau dihtah Pakai, apu apateu khanga pat akinep nau dounan chonset abol’un ahi,” atiuve.
8 “Flee out of the middle of Babylon! Go out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the male goats before the flocks.
“Hijeh chun Babylon khopi sunga kon’in jamdoh tauvin, chule Chaldea mite henga kon’in chedoh tauvin; kelngoi hon lah’a kelchal ho tobang'in um uvin.
9 For, behold, I will stir up and cause to come up against Babylon a company of great nations from the north country; and they will set themselves in array against her. She will be taken from there. Their arrows will be as of an expert mighty man. None of them will return in vain.
Ajeh chu keiman Babylon dounan sahlam gamkaiya pat’in nam gim neitah khat kahin sol luttai, amaho hiche khopi douna dinga chu hung kigong diu, chuteng akhopi alah diu ahi. Athal chang’u jong khutgoh keuva kile lou gal-hang tah jeng ahiuve.
10 Chaldea will be a prey. All who prey on her will be satisfied,” says Yahweh.
Pakaiyin, “Chaldea mite jong abonchauva kiman soh keiya, chuteng amaho mangam’a pangho haodoh soh kei diu ahi,” tin aseiye.
11 “Because you are glad, because you rejoice, O you who plunder my heritage, because you are wanton as a heifer that treads out the grain, and neigh as strong horses,
“Chule nangho nakipa diu naki choisang diu ahi. Hinlah kagoulo ho mangam’a pang holeh hamhing lah’a chom lele ho; sakol til-lah lou tobang'in peng peng jong leu chun,
12 your mother will be utterly disappointed. She who bore you will be confounded. Behold, she will be the least of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
na chunnu uchun gimnei tah’a jumna ato ding, nahing nu uchu vetdana chang tei ding ahitai. Ven, hiche nu hi nam jouse lah’a anu-khah pen’a pang ding; gamthip lah’a neldi gam tobangbep hiding ahi.
13 Because of Yahweh’s wrath she won’t be inhabited, but she will be wholly desolate. Everyone who goes by Babylon will be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
Ajeh chu Pakai lunghanna jeh’a hiche mun chu chenna soh talou ding, imacha umlou akeo hiding; Babylon jon jouse dinga kichat tijatna hita ding, akhopi sung kisuhsetna jouse kidah soh ding ahi.
14 Set yourselves in array against Babylon all around, all you who bend the bow; shoot at her. Spare no arrows, for she has sinned against Yahweh.
Hijeh chun Babylon khopi sat dinga kigo jouse, thalpi kamsa kichoi jouse kivon cheh un chule umkimvel tauvin; ijeh-inem itileh hiche khopi hi Pakai doumah bol’in achonse lheh jeng tai.
15 Shout against her all around. She has submitted herself. Her bulwarks have fallen. Her walls have been thrown down, for it is the vengeance of Yahweh. Take vengeance on her. As she has done, do to her.
Khopi kimvel’a lhangsam cheh’un, khopi ama chamtah in alhu pan tan; pal kikai jouse jong achimsoh in, pal jouse akisuchim soh heltan ahi. Ajeh chu hitobang thilsoh hi Pakai phulah ahin, hiche khopi chunga hi phu-alah ahitai. Khopi ana chonna banga achunga abol tauvin ahi.
16 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him who handles the sickle in the time of harvest. For fear of the oppressing sword, they will each return to their own people, and they will each flee to their own land.
Chule Babylon khopia muchi tua pangpa chu that uvin, chang-at laiya koite kichoipa jong that uvin, mi sugentheija pang chemjam hem choipa jal chun, mijouse amite lam’a chekit ding ahi; chule min ama ama gamsung cheh adel’a jam lut cheh ding ahi.
17 “Israel is a hunted sheep. The lions have driven him away. First, the king of Assyria devoured him, and now at last Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has broken his bones.”
Ijeh-inem itileh “Israel chu kelngoi kidel jam banga, keipi bahkai ten adel mangsa ahibouve. Amasa chun Assyria lengpan ana man tauvin, chule tunvang Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar in agu achang geiyin asuhchip peh tan ahi.”
18 Therefore Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
Hatchungnung Pakai, Israel Pathen in, “Ven, Keiman Assyria lengpa chunga gimna kapeh bang in, Babylon lengpa chunga jong gimna kalhunsah in ahi,” ati.
19 I will bring Israel again to his pasture, and he will feed on Carmel and Bashan. His soul will be satisfied on the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead.
“Chule keiman Israel chu ama in leh gamsunga kahin lepui ding, Carmel le Bashan a kivah vadiu; chuteng Ephraim le Gilead thinglhang gam sunga avel’a kivahva diu ahi.
20 In those days, and in that time,” says Yahweh, “the iniquity of Israel will be sought for, and there will be none, also the sins of Judah, and they won’t be found; for I will pardon them whom I leave as a remnant.
Hiche nikho tengleh chun, Israel sunga themmona kikhol ding, ahivanga kikholdoh deh deh lou ding; chule Judah sunga jong chonsetna kikhol ding, ahivanga khatcha kikhol doh louhel ding ahi. Ajeh chu keiman amoh chengse avaldoh ho chunga ngaidamna kanei ahitai.
21 “Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod. Kill and utterly destroy after them,” says Yahweh, “and do according to all that I have commanded you.
“Kagal hang ho, Merathaim le Pekod dounan agam sunga chetou tauvin; abonchauvin that gam uvin chule sumang hel uvin, tin Pakaiyin aseiyin hiche hi keima thupeh ahi.
22 A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.
Gamsung pumpia gal kisat ogin akijan, manthahna ogin gimneitah chu akithong lha jeng tai!
23 How the hammer of the whole earth is cut apart and broken! How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations!
I-atileh leiset pumpi khetbuh’a pang Babylon kisat lhua kichil thang jeng hitam! Itidan’a Babylon hi nam jouse lah’a kidah chang jeng hitam!
24 I have laid a snare for you, and you are also taken, Babylon, and you weren’t aware. You are found, and also caught, because you have fought against Yahweh.
O Babylon, thang kakampeh achun na oh-tai; hinlah naki hetdoh hih laiye, nangma holdoh in naum in nakiman chah kheh tai; ajeh chu Pakai dounan nachonval tai.
25 Yahweh has opened his armory, and has brought out the weapons of his indignation; for the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, has a work to do in the land of the Chaldeans.
Chuin Pakaiyin agal manchah koina ahong doh in, alunghanna machah jouse ahin podoh tai; ijeh-inem itileh Pakai hatchungnung Pathen in Chaldea mite gam sunga natoh ding khat aneiye.
26 Come against her from the farthest border. Open her storehouses. Cast her up as heaps. Destroy her utterly. Let nothing of her be left.
Henge, gam kimvel’a kon in hiche gam toh kidou din hung kon tauvin; achangsal jouse hong un, chang kisi vum tobang'in sivum unlang manthah sah jeng uvin, ama thi le lo ima kheng hih hel un.
27 Kill all her bulls. Let them go down to the slaughter. Woe to them! For their day has come, the time of their visitation.
Abongchal jouse sat lih un, abonchan athina diumun jotsah cheh un; ada tangei-yuve, ijeh-inem itileh ahinkhou achaina ahung lhunge. Gimna atodiu phat chu hunglhung ahitai.
28 Listen to those who flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of Yahweh our God, the vengeance of his temple.
Miho ogin khu ngaiyin, Babylon gamsunga kon in Zion Pakai, i-Pathen uvin phu alah nakhu, ahouin dinga phu alahna phondohnan ajam cheh tauvin; atol manghel tauve.
29 “Call together the archers against Babylon, all those who bend the bow. Encamp against her all around. Let none of it escape. Pay her back according to her work. According to all that she has done, do to her; for she has been proud against Yahweh, against the Holy One of Israel.
Thalpi kamsaa kichoi holeh thal them ho abonchauvin Babylon toh kisat din koudoh tan. Hiche khopi kimvel’a khun ngahmun semsoh keiyun, mihem kiti khat jengcha jong naso chat sah louhel diu ahi. Khopi’n na atoh dungjuiya lethuhna nachan sah diu, anatoh athilbol banga amachunga jong nabol diu ahi; ajeh chu Pakai, Israel Mithengpa chu kisatpi ding in anachoudoh tai.
30 Therefore her young men will fall in her streets. All her men of war will be brought to silence in that day,” says Yahweh.
Hijeh chun Pakaiyin aseiyin, “Akhopi sunga gollhang ho kijam chap diu, chule hiche nikho mama’a hi akhopi sunga sepai jouse jong kisumang hel ding ahi.
31 “Behold, I am against you, you proud one,” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies; “for your day has come, the time that I will visit you.
“Vetan, nangma kieltsahna dim keima toh kidou nahi, tin Pakai hatchungnung Pathen in aseiye; ijeh-inem itileh nangma nikho ahung lhung tai—hiche nikhoa hi keiman gimna kapeh ding nahi.
32 The proud one will stumble and fall, and no one will raise him up. I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it will devour all who are around him.”
O gamsung kiletsahna dim, nangma nakipal lhuh a, naki balhuh tei ding, koima naphongdoh ding um tapon te. Keiman khopi pumpia mei kakousah ding, chuteng akimvel’a umjouse meikong in aliu-gamkei ding ahi.
33 Yahweh of Armies says: “The children of Israel and the children of Judah are oppressed together. All who took them captive hold them fast. They refuse to let them go.
Hatchungnung Pakaiyin hiti hin aseiye, “Israel mite leh Judah mite chunga gim le hesoh in akiumsah in, amaho soh chansah hon lahdoh ding gel phalou vin, naatuh chah jing uvin ahi.
34 Their Redeemer is strong. Yahweh of Armies is his name. He will thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the earth, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
Hinlah amaho lhatdampu chu athahat in, hatchungnung Pakai kiti hi ama min ahi. Amachun amaho khotona thudol ahinsei ding, chule Israel akichol damsah kit ding; amavang Babylon mite choldona apeh lou ding ahi.
35 “A sword is on the Chaldeans,” says Yahweh, “and on the inhabitants of Babylon, on her princes, and on her wise men.
Pakaiyin hiti hin aseiyin, “Chaldea mite, Babylon khopi sunga chengte, aleng chapate chule ami-chingte chunga gimna chemjam achuhsah tai.
36 A sword is on the boasters, and they will become fools. A sword is on her mighty men, and they will be dismayed.
Ami-chingte, angolna diuvin achung'uva chemjam ahung chutan, akisuh manghel nadiuvin; akhopi sunga gal hang ho chunga chemjam achutan ahi!
37 A sword is on their horses, on their chariots, and on all the mixed people who are in the middle of her; and they will become as women. A sword is on her treasures, and they will be robbed.
Akhopi sunga sakol ho, akang-talai ho, chule akhopi dunga gamdang sepai hon jong numei lungput aputna diuvin, achung uvah chemjam achutai! Akisuh manghelna diuvin, khopi sunga thil khol khomna jouse chunga jong chemjam achutan ahi.
38 A drought is on her waters, and they will be dried up; for it is a land of engraved images, and they are mad over idols.
Akhopi sunga twi jouse akan-helna din go aju tapon, ajeh chu agam hi milim semthu gam jeng ahin, amaho jeng jong pathen lim semthua ngol ahitauve.
39 Therefore the wild animals of the desert with the wolves will dwell there. The ostriches will dwell therein. It will be inhabited no more forever, neither will it be lived in from generation to generation.
Hijeh’a chu Babylon khopi sunga hi chomlou kah’a gamsa holeh kamkei ho hung cheng lut diu, chule akhosung chu simbu ho chenna hung hi ding; akhopi sunga chu mihem kiti cheng kit talou ding, hichu akhang akhanga chenna hita lou ding ahi.
40 As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and its neighbor cities,” says Yahweh, “so no man will dwell there, neither will any son of man live therein.
Sodom le Gomorrah banga akhopi sung leh akimvel’a khopi jouse kasuh manghel ding, hiche mun’a chu mihem koimacha hung cheng kit talou ding chule mihem koimacha akhosunga hung kholjin kitta louhel ding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
41 “Behold, a people comes from the north. A great nation and many kings will be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.
Vetan! Sahlam gamkaiya kon’in sepai hattah ahung kon tai. Nam hattah le leng tampi, gamlha tah’a kon’in ahung tauve.
42 They take up bow and spear. They are cruel, and have no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea. They ride on horses, everyone set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, daughter of Babylon.
Abonchauva thalpi le tengcha toh hungkon ahiuvin, gilou tah le hepina beihel jeng ahiuve. Agol gin dan’u jong twikhanglen gintoh akilou vin, abonchauva sakol chunga tou jeng ahiuve; Nangma Babylon dou dinga galvon lhingsel’a kivon soh ahitauve.
43 The king of Babylon has heard the news of them, and his hands become feeble. Anguish has taken hold of him, pains as of a woman in labor.
Hiti chun, “Babylon lengpan jong athu kithan dol-u ajasoh tai! Akhut teni angoi lha jeng in, numei naoso natpat tobang'in gim hesohna chun ahin phatai.
44 Behold, the enemy will come up like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan against the strong habitation; for I will suddenly make them run away from it. Whoever is chosen, I will appoint him over it, for who is like me? Who will appoint me a time? Who is the shepherd who can stand before me?”
Vetan! Keima Jordan gammang lah’a kon kelngoi hong umna nokhum dinga hung kon keipi bahkai banga, abonchauva akhopi sunga kon hetman louhel’a a kadel mang jeng ding, chujou tengleh keiman kadeisah dungjuiya khopi vaihom kakoi ding ahi. Ijeh-inem itileh keitobang koi um'em chule koiham keima eiki dinte pi ding? Koi vaihom thunei hijongleh kamasanga pang jou ding chu koi ham?
45 Therefore hear the counsel of Yahweh that he has taken against Babylon; and his purposes that he has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely they will drag them away, even the little ones of the flock. Surely he will make their habitation desolate over them.
Hijeh chun Pakaiyin Babylon dounaa athil-gon hi phaten ngai phauvin, kelngoi hon lah’a aneopen geiya kaimanga um ding; achennau in jouse jong kisumang hel ding ahi.
46 The earth trembles at the noise of the taking of Babylon. The cry is heard among the nations.
Babylon kimat gin husan chu leiset pumpi o-thong jejua kithing liu ding, chule akagin chu vannoi leiset pumpia kithong lha ding ahi,” ati.
