< 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.
Then the LORD said to me: “Even if Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My heart would not go out to this people. Send them from My presence, and let them go.
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.
If they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’ you are to tell them that this is what the LORD says: ‘Those destined for death, to death; those destined for the sword, to the sword; those destined for famine, to famine; and those destined 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.
I will appoint over them four kinds of destroyers, declares the LORD: the sword to kill, the dogs to drag away, and the birds of the air and beasts of the earth 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.
I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what Manasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah 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 have pity on you, O Jerusalem? Who will mourn for you? Who will turn aside to ask about 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 forsaken Me, declares the LORD. You have turned your back. So I will stretch out My hand against you and I will destroy you; I am weary of showing compassion.
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.
I will scatter them with a winnowing fork at the gates of the land. I will bereave and destroy My people who have not turned from their ways.
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.
I will make their widows more numerous than the sand of the sea. I will bring a destroyer at noon against the mothers of young men. I will suddenly bring upon them anguish and dismay.
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.
The mother of seven will grow faint; she will breathe her last breath. Her sun will set while it is still day; she will be disgraced and humiliated. And the rest I will put to the sword in the presence of 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 to me, my mother, that you have borne me, a man of strife and conflict in all the land. I have neither lent nor borrowed, yet everyone curses me.
11 Pakaiyin eidonbut in, “Olmo hih in, keiman nangma kaumpi nai! Namelmate chu, nahung joldiu, hungtaodiu ahi.
The LORD said: “Surely I will deliver you for a good purpose; surely I will intercede with your enemy in your time of trouble, in your time of distress.
12 Koiham sahlam gamkaiya hungkon, thih lhon khat ahilouleh thih le sum-eng kihal lhonkhatong jou ding chu?
Can anyone smash iron— iron from the north—or bronze?
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.
Your wealth and your treasures I will give up as plunder, without charge for all your sins within 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.
Then I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for My anger will kindle a fire that will burn against 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.
You understand, O LORD; remember me and attend to me. Avenge me against my persecutors. In Your patience, do not take me away. Know that I endure reproach for Your honor.
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.
Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words became my joy and my heart’s delight. For I bear Your name, O LORD God of Hosts.
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 never sat with the band of revelers, nor did I celebrate with them. Because Your hand was on me, I sat alone, for You have filled me with indignation.
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 is my pain unending, and my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? You have indeed become like a mirage to me— water that is not there.
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 this is what the LORD says: “If you return, I will restore you; you will stand in My presence. And if you speak words that are noble instead of worthless, you will be My spokesman. It is they who must turn to you, but you must not turn 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.
Then I will make you a wall to this people, a fortified wall of bronze; they will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you to save and deliver you, declares the LORD.
21 Keiman migentheite khut’a kon kahuhdoh ding, dip damna beihel ho maiphavetna a kon kalhatdoh ding nahi,” ati.
I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked and redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless.”
