< Jeremiah 2 >

1 Pakai thusei kaheng ahunglhung kit in, aman kajah’a,
Moreover, the woorde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
2 Chenlang hiche kathupeh hi, Jerusalem’a gaphongjaltan ati. Pakaiyin asei chu,” Jinei ding kigo khangdong cha mounu’n kitahtah’a hinkho aman bangin, nangin kei ichengeiya neilungset’a, chuleh itobang gammang lah hijongleh neijuile chu, keiman kageldoh jing e.
Goe, and crie in the eares of Ierusalem, saying, Thus sayeth the Lord, I remember thee, with the kindenes of thy youth and the loue of thy marriage, when thou wentest after me in the wildernes in a lande that was not sowen.
3 Hiche phatlai chun, Israel chu Pakai dinga atheng ahin, Ama ding a alholhun aga masapen chu ahi.
Israel was as a thing halowed vnto the Lord, and his first fruits: all they that eat it, shall offend: euil shall come vpon them, saith the Lord.
4 Pakai thusei hi ngaiyun, Vo Jacob insung Israel chate,
Heare ye the word of the Lord, O house of Iaakob, and all the families of the house of Israel.
5 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye,”Napu napateuvin kachung’a adihlou ipi amudoh’uva, ipi jeh’a keiya kon’a gamla tah’a vahmang gam’u hitam? Amahon phatchomna bei dolim semthu ahouvun, amaho tah jong pannabei asohgamtauvin ahi.
Thus sayeth the Lord, What iniquitie haue your fathers founde in mee, that they are gone farre from mee, and haue walked after vanitie, and are become vaine?
6 Amahon, Egypt gam’a kon’a eihinpuidoh’uva, gammang lah’a eihin pui’uva, nelgam leh kokhuh lah’a eihinpui’uva, twi beina gam leh thina gam’a, koima kho-nung umlouna leh mi chennalou gam’a eihinpui’uva, Pakai Pathen chu hoiya um hitam? atipouve.
For they saide not, Where is the Lord that brought vs vp out of the lande of Egypt? that led vs through the wildernesse, through a desert, and waste land, through a drie land, and by the shadow of death, by a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?
7 Keiman nangho, kateppih bangin, gamleiset phatah leh gamga chu nalut phat’un thet umtah in nasuboh tauvin ahi.
And I brought you into a plentifull countrey, to eat the fruit thereof, and the commodities of the same: but when yee entred, yee defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.
8 Thempu hon, Pakai chu hoiya um hitam, tin aholpouve. Kathupeh tuh’a hilson hon jong eidontapouve; chuleh gamvaipo ho jing jong keima douvin apang gamtauvin ahi. Themgao hon jong Baal min in gaothu aseiyun, panna beiyin lim semthu ho nung ajui gamtauvin ahi.
The priests said not, Where is the Lord? and they that should minister the Lawe, knewe me not: the pastours also offended against me, and the Prophets prophesied in Baal, and went after things that did not profite.
9 Hijeh chun, keiman nachunguva kalunghanna kalhut ding, chuleh khonung geiya nachateu chung a kalunghanna kalhut ding ahi.
Wherefore I wil yet plead with you, saith the Lord, and I will pleade with your childrens children.
10 Cheuvin lhumlam’a, Cypress gamsung gaveuvin; chuleh solam’a cheuvin Kedar gamsung gakhol’uvin. Hitobang thilkidang hi ahekha leh ajakha umkha nam?
For goe ye to the yles of Chittim, and beholde, and sende vnto Kedar. and take diligent heede, and see whether there be such things.
11 Pathen dihtah houlou hijongleu, namkhat in a pathen chu thildang khat toh akhel khah am? Ahinlah kamiten vang aloupinau a Pathen’u keima hi, pannabei semthu pathen toh eikhelto tauve.
Hath any nation changed their gods, which yet are no gods? but my people haue chaged their glorie, for that which doeth not profite.
12 Hichea hin, vanthamjol atijan akithing in, chuleh nungkin leuvin alungdonge, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
O yee heauens, be astonied at this: bee afraid and vtterly confounded, sayeth the Lord.
13 Kamiten chonset gitlouna thilni aboltauve. Amahon hinna twinah keiya um chu adalhauvin, chuleh achamtah in a amaho ding twi umlouna mun chu alaiuvin ahi.
For my people haue committed two euils: they haue forsaken mee the fountaine of liuing waters, to digge them pittes, euen broken pittes, that can holde no water.
14 Ibol’a Israel chu soh hiya ham? Ipi jeh’a amelmaten ama chu achomgam’uva chuleh suhgam ding bep’a akaimangu ham?
Is Israel a seruaunt, or is hee borne in the house? why then is he spoiled?
15 Sakei thahatlai kitum bangin akitum khum’un, ama chu adouvin ahi. Amahon agamsung asuchavaiyun, akhopi jouse kho-gem asosah’un chuleh acheng beihel kho-homkeu asotauve.
The lions roared vpon him and yelled, and they haue made his land waste: his cities are burnt without an inhabitant.
16 Memphis khopi leh Tahpanhes khopia konin, Egypt mite ahung kitoldoh’un, Israel loupina leh thaneina chu asumang hel tauvin ahi.
Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes haue broken thine head.
17 Hiche hi, Pakai na Pathen in lampia napui laiya, nangin Ama nadou jeh’a, nanigin nachung a nakilhut khum ahibouve.
Hast not thou procured this vnto thy selfe, because thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, when he led thee by the way?
18 Egypt toh napankhom’a chuleh Assyria toh kitepna nabol’a chu, nang ding’a ipi aphachom um am? Nile vadung twi donding nati ham, chuleh Ephrates vadung twi donding nagot ham? Nang dinga thilpha ipi um am?
And what hast thou now to do in the way of Egypt? to drinke the water of Nilus? or what makest thou in the way of Asshur? to drinke the water of the Riuer?
19 Nathilse bol chun nachung a pohgih ahinlhut ding, chuleh keima neidalhah chun najumso ding ahi. Nangman thilse tah nato ding, Hichu nangin Pakai na Pathen nadalhah’a chuleh jabollou tah’a nabol jeh’a, nang dinga akha-cheh nekha nabah ding ahi, tin keima Pakai Van Pathen chun kaseidoh ahitai.
Thine owne wickednes shall correct thee, and thy turnings backe shall reprooue thee: know therefore and beholde, that it is an euil thing, and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, and that my feare is not in thee, sayeth the Lord God of hostes.
20 Chuleh keiman sotlai peh’a napohgih pohna namkol kaheboh’a, chuleh soh’a nakihenna khao jong kabotan ahitai. Ahivangin tunjong nangin naseiyin,”Keiman nang kajinlou hil ding nahi, nati. Ajeh chu nangman, lhangsanglai jouse leh thingphung noi tin’ah, semthu doilim angsung’a, noti bangin nakun jol jol e.
For of olde time I haue broken thy yoke, and burst thy bondes, and thou saidest, I will no more transgresse, but like an harlot thou runnest about vpon al hie hilles, and vnder all greene trees.
21 Ahivangin keiman nanghi, lengpithei gui phapen lah’a kon’a kalhentum’a, chuleh muchi thengsel’a kalah’a kaphu nahi. I-atileh, gamlah lengpithei guitoh kijop’a, dei umlou tah’a hung khangdoh nahim
Yet I had planted thee, a noble vine, whose plants were all natural: howe then art thou turned vnto me into the plants of a strange vine?
22 Nangma cha-ngel tamtah'in kisil inlang, Chuleh sabon tamtah mang jong lechun, hichun nasoptheng jou ponte. Nathemmona ho kamit’a akilang jing’e, tin thaneipen Pakaiyin aseiye.
Though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much sope, yet thine iniquitie is marked before me, sayeth the Lord God.
23 Nangin naseiyin, “Keima kakisubuhpoi. Baal doilim jong chibai kabohpoi,”nati. Hichu iti naseithei ham? Nalamlhahna phaicham ho ven, chonset gimnei tah tah nabol doh ho geldoh in! Nang hi, sangongsao lagol in, kimatpi ding ahol’a alheile tobang nahi.
Howe canst thou say, I am not polluted, neither haue I followed Baalim? beholde thy waies in the valley, and know, what thou hast done: thou art like a swift dromedarie, that runneth by his waies.
24 Nang hi, gamlah’a sangan lagol in angaichat holna-a huilah anah lele tobang nahi. Amanun angaichat aholna akham ding koiham?
And as a wilde asse, vsed to the wildernesse, that snuffeth vp the winde by occasion at her pleasure: who can turne her backe? all they that seeke her, will not wearie themselues, but wil finde her in her moneth.
25 Pathen dangho nung najuilea, kenga lam najot’a chuleh danggo leuva nalheile chu itih nangah ding hitam? Ahinlah nangin naseiyin,”Keiman gamdang pathen ho kalungset in, chuleh amaho nung kajuihi ngapong e,” nati.
Keepe thou thy feete from barenes, and thy throte from thirst: but thou saidest desperately, No, for I haue loued strangers, and them will I follow.
26 Gucha akimatdoh teng ajahchat banga, Israel jong chuti ding ahi. Amaho, lengho, vaihom ho, thempu ho chuleh themgao ho jouse, abon’uva chuti ahiuve.
As the theefe is ashamed, when he is foud, so is the house of Israel ashamed, they, their kings, their princes and their Priests, and their Prophets,
27 Amahon thingphunga kon kisemdoh milim jah’a, “nang kapa nahi” atiuvin, chuleh song’a kon’a kikhengdoh milim jah’a “nang kanu nahi” atiuve. Amahon keima einungngat gam’u ahitai. Ahivangin, agenthei ahesoh teng’uleh, amaho kahenga ahungkap’un, hungin neihuhdoh’uvin, atijiuve.
Saying to a tree, Thou art my father, and to a stone, Thou hast begotten me: for they haue turned their back vnto me, and not their face: but in ye time of their troble they wil say, Arise, and help vs.
28 Ahileh, nang dinga nakisem na-pathen ho chu, hoiya umtam? Amaho chu, mihuh hing thei ahiuleh, hesoh genthei natopet chun nahuhhingu hen. Vo Judah, na khopi jouseu jat’a pathen ho naneiyu hilou ham?
But where are thy gods, that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can helpe thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the nomber of thy cities, are thy gods, O Iudah.
29 Ibol’a thilse bol’a keima neingoh’u ham? Nangho joh, nabon’un keima doumah mah bol in napangtauve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
Wherefore wil ye pleade with me? ye all haue rebelled against me, sayeth the Lord.
30 Keiman nachateu kaden ahitai, Ahivangin amahon kasuhdihna chu adonpouve. Sakei yin aneh ding akimat’a athabangin, nanghon nangho chemjam maman, nathemgaoteu nathattauve.
I haue smitten your children in vaine, they receiued no correction: your owne sworde hath deuoured your Prophets like a destroying lyon.
31 Vo Kamite, Pakai thusei hi ngaiuvin! Keima hi Israel dinga gamgo lah kahim? Ahilouleh keima hi, amaho dinga gamut thimlah kahim? Ibol’a kamiten, tunvang Pathen’a kon ongdoh kahitauve, keiho ama henga hungkit tapou vinge, tia aseiyu ham?
O generation, take heede to the worde of the Lord: haue I bene as a wildernesse vnto Israel? or a lande of darkenesse? Wherefore sayeth my people then, We are lordes, we will come no more vnto thee?
32 Numei khangdong laiyin, akijepna asuhmil ngai am? Chuleh jinei ding nun amou-von ahaimil thei am? Ahinlah, kamiten akum kum in keima eisumildel tauvin ahi.
Can a maid forget her ornament, or a bride her attire? yet my people haue forgotten me, daies without number.
33 Nakilungsetpi ding jollhahje, aguh in themtah in nagongtoh jin ahi. Numei kijohho geiyin jong nang thilbol’a konin akihiluve.
Why doest thou prepare thy way, to seeke amitie? euen therefore will I teach thee, that thy waies are wickednesse.
34 Na ponsil chunga monabei leh tahlelte thisan anat dimset e. Hiche hi keiman aguh’a kahet ahipon, lhangphong tah’a kamudoh ahibouve. Ahin thil hiyat nabolsa chung’a hin,
Also in thy wings is founde the bloud of the soules of ye poore innocents: I haue not found it in holes, but vpon all these places.
35 Nangin naseiyin,”Keiman thildihlou kabolpoi. Tahbeh in kachunga Pathen alunghanna ding aumpoi nati. Amavang tua hi, nachunga thutanna kalhut ding ahitai. Ajeh chu nangman nathilse bol naseilep in, chonsetna kaneipoi, nati.
Yet thou saiest, Because I am giltles, surely his wrath shall turne from mee: beholde, I will enter with thee into iudgement, because thou saiest, I haue not sinned.
36 Nangman pankhompi ding holnan gam leh lei nachon in ahi. Hijongleh, Assyria in najumso bang banga chu nakisonpi Egypt in jong nahinbol tei ding ahi.
Why runnest thou about so much to change thy waies? for thou shalt be confounded of Egypt, as thou art confounded of Asshur.
37 Jum leh ja pum’a, khut kolnam thangsea, gamsung nadalhah ding ahi. Ajeh chu nangin nakisonpi ho jouse chu Pakaiyin imalouva akoigam ahitai. Chuleh amahoa kon’a aphachom namulou helding ahi.
For thou shalt goe foorth from thence, and thine hands vpon thine head, because the Lord hath reiected thy confidence, and thou shalt not prosper thereby.
