Jeremiah 32
1 Judah lengpa Zedekiah lengchan kal, kum som le get lhin kum chule Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar lengchan kal, kum 18 lhin kum chun, Pakai thusei Jeremiah heng ahung lhung in hitin aseiye.
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
2 Hichepet chun, Babylon lengpa sepai ten, Jerusalem khopi atoupha pet’u ahin, Jeremiah themgao pachu Judah leng inpi sung’a ahenpet u ahi.
At that time the army of the king of Babylon was besieging Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was imprisoned in the courtyard of the guard, which was in the palace of the king of Judah.
3 Zedekiah lengpan, Jeremiah themgao chu, songkul'a ahen’a, thudoh aneichu; Ibol’a nang in gaothu nasei le’a, hitobang gaothu hi naseiham? Pakaiyin aseiye, Hichi khopi hi keiman Babylon lengpa khut a kapehdoh ahitai, aman ahinlah jeng ding ahi.
For Zedekiah king of Judah had imprisoned him, saying: “Why are you prophesying like this? You claim that the LORD says, ‘Behold, I am about to deliver this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it.
4 Zedekiah lengpa chu jamdoh louding, Babylon lengpa khut a luttei ding ahi. Chuleh aman Babylon lengpa akimaitopi tei ding ahi.
Zedekiah king of Judah will not escape from the hands of the Chaldeans, but he will surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and will speak with him face to face and see him eye to eye.
5 Babylon lengpan, Zedekiah lengpa chu, Babylon gam’a akailut ding, chukom’a chu ama umding, keiman ama kagavil kahsea umding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye. Hijeh chun, nanghon Babylon douna gal bol jongleu chun, najolou diu ahi, ati.
He will take Zedekiah to Babylon, where he will stay until I attend to him, declares the LORD. If you fight against the Chaldeans, you will not succeed.’”
6 Chuin Pakaiyin hitin aseiye,
Jeremiah replied, “The word of the LORD came to me, saying:
7 Na pangah pa Shallem chapa, Hanamel chu nakom’a hung ding, ‘Anathoth mun’a um kalou khu, midang kapehdoh masang a, nangman kichoh tan kahung ti ahi. Ajeh chu, dan dungjui a alhat nading thaneina chu nang’a um ahi, nang in kichoh tan, ahung ti ding ahi.
Behold! Hanamel, the son of your uncle Shallum, is coming to you to say, ‘Buy for yourself my field in Anathoth, for you have the right of redemption to buy it.’
8 Pakaiyin kaheng’a asei bang chun, ka pangah pa chapa Hanamel chu, kaheng’a ahung in, kakihenna songkul’a chun, hitin aseiye: “Benjamin gamsung’a Anathoth mun’a um kalou munkhu kichohtan, dan dungjuija, akilhat ding thaneina nanei ahi. Hijeh chun, midang khut a kapeh masang in, nang momg mong in kichoh tan, ahung ti. Hichun, Pakaiyin kaheng’a thu asei chu kahin hedohtai.
Then, as the LORD had said, my cousin Hanamel came to me in the courtyard of the guard and urged me, ‘Please buy my field in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, for you own the right of inheritance and redemption. Buy it for yourself.’” Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD.
9 Hichun, keiman Hanamel loumun chu kachotai. Louman chu dangka Shekel somle sagi ahi.
So I bought the field in Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel, and I weighed out seventeen shekels of silver.
10 Hichun, kichohna lekha chu, keiman kikhut henna kabol in, melchihna kanam khumin, ahetoh ho umpet in, sumchu atena-ah katepeh in, kapetai.
I signed and sealed the deed, called in witnesses, and weighed out the silver on the scales.
11 Chuin Mohor kinam khum, lou-kichohna lekha, akichohdan aning-akah kijih na lekha jong chu kalan,
Then I took the deed of purchase—the sealed copy with its terms and conditions, as well as the open copy—
12 Hiche lekha teni chu, keiman Nerieh chapa Baruch, Masheiah tupa chu kapetai. Hichehi, Hanamel angsung leh ahetoh sakhi bolho angsung ah chuleh chukom a um Judah angsung tah’a, keiman kapedoh ahi.
and I gave this deed to Baruch son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the sight of my cousin Hanamel and the witnesses who were signing the purchase agreement and all the Jews sitting in the courtyard of the guard.
13 Hichun keiman miho angsung achun, Baruch chu hitin thu kaseipeh in,
In their sight I instructed Baruch,
14 Hatchungnung Pakai, Israel Pathen in, hitin aseiye: Hiche lou-kichohna lekha teni hi, kumsotpi umthei nadingin, leibel sung khat’a koitup in ati, katipeh in ahi.
“This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Take these deeds—both the sealed copy and the open copy of the deed of purchase—and put them in a clay jar to preserve them for a long time.
15 Ijeh inem itileh, Hatchungnung Pakai, Israel Pathen in aseiye: Nikhat teng, mihon hiche gamhi ahinlo kitdiu, in holeh loumun ho, chuleh lengpilei ho, ahin kichoh diu ahi, ati.
For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Houses, fields, and vineyards will again be bought in this land.”
16 Chuin, lou-kichohna lekha hochu Nerieh chapa Baruch khut’a kapehdoh phat in, keima Pakai heng’a katao in hitin kati:
After I had given the deed of purchase to Baruch son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD:
17 Vo, Hatchungnung Pakai! Nangman vamthamjol le leiset hi, naban thahat namanchah’a nasemdoh ahin, nang ding in imacha ahahsa aumpoi.
“Oh, Lord GOD! You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for You!
18 Nangman, nalungsetna longlou chu, mihem asang sang ho namusah jin; chuleh langkhat a nangman mipate chonset na gachu achate khang a nalethuh jin ahi. Nangma loupitah, thaneitah chule Hatchungnung Pakai Pathen nahi.
You show loving devotion to thousands but lay the iniquity of the fathers into the laps of their children after them, O great and mighty God whose name is the LORD of Hosts,
19 Chihna jouse hungkon doh na nahin, thil nasatah tah leh bolmo kidangho nabol’e. chuleh nangman mihemte chon-lamlhah abon'in navelhi jingin, Atoh dungjuija achan diuva lomin na lethuh jin ahi.
the One great in counsel and mighty in deed, whose eyes are on all the ways of the sons of men, to reward each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds.
20 Nangman Egypt gamsung’a thil kidang tampi na nabol in, hiche hochu tuni geiyin mihon ageldoh jing uve. Hitobang bolmo kidang ho chu, Israel lah a chule namtin vaipi lah’a jong nabol jing in, nangman naming nakthansah tai, tuni geiyin.
You performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and You do so to this very day, both in Israel and among all mankind. And You have made a name for Yourself, as is the case to this day.
21 Nangman, Egypt gamsung’a bolmo kidang tampi nabol in, nakhut tah in naban thahat mangchan, chuleh miho ding’a tijat umtah in name Israelte, Egypt akon in nahin puidoh e.
You brought Your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and wonders, with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and with great terror.
22 Nangman amaho chu, apu apateu natepih bang chun, hiche gam leiset, khoiju le Bongnoi lonna gamhi, namite napetai.
You gave them this land that You had sworn to give their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.
23 Chuin kapu kapateu vin, hiche gamhi alouvin aching tauve. Ahinla amahon nasei angaipouvin, nahil bang in achonpouve. Hijeh’a chu nangman amaho chung’a hiche manthahna hi nalhunsah ahitai.
They came in and possessed it, but they did not obey Your voice or walk in Your law. They failed to perform all that You commanded them to do, and so You have brought upon them all this disaster.
24 Vetan, khopi lonvuh ding in galmiten, kulpi bang kimvel’a pansatna sangtah tah ahintol lut uvin, ahindel khum tauve. Tua hiche khopi hi, gal leh kel jeh’a, natna hise hojeh’a chuleh tijatna jeh’a, Babylon te khut’a lutdingah ati. Ijakai hi, nangman naseisa bang in alhungsoh tai.
See how the siege ramps are mounted against the city to capture it. And by sword and famine and plague, the city has been given into the hands of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it. What You have spoken has happened, as You now see!
25 Hijongleh, Vo Hatchungnung Pakai, hiche khopi hi Babylon te khut’a lutding koncha ahivang in, nangman keijeh a “Sakhi ding mikihol inlang, loumun hi nangman kichoh in, tia einasol chu, nangma nahi, kati,” ati.
Yet You, O Lord GOD, have said to me, ‘Buy for yourself the field with silver and call in witnesses, even though the city has been delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans!’”
26 Chujouvin, Jeremiah henga Pakaiyin hitin aseiye,
Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
27 Vetan, keima hi Pakai, leiset chunga cheng mihing jouse Pathen chu kahi. Keidinga ipi ahahsa um'em?
“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too difficult for Me?
28 Hichun Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Keiman hiche khopihi, Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar khut’a kapeh ding, chule aman ahin lahding ahitai.
Therefore this is what the LORD says: Behold, I am about to deliver this city into the hands of the Chaldeans and of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who will capture it.
29 Khopi polam’a pansa Babylon techu, asunga hunglut uva, khopi hi meiya ahalvam diu ahi. Chule keima phinna-a baal dinga gim namtwi kihal naleh doilim semthu ho chibai kibohna in jouse, abon’a kihalvam ding ahi.
And the Chaldeans who are fighting against this city will come in, set it on fire, and burn it, along with the houses of those who provoked Me to anger by burning incense to Baal on their rooftops and by pouring out drink offerings to other gods.
30 Ajeh chu, Israel leh Juda miten, aneolaiyuva pat in, thilse jeng abol uvin, keima eiphindoh tauve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
For the children of Israel and of Judah have done nothing but evil in My sight from their youth; indeed, they have done nothing but provoke Me to anger by the work of their hands, declares the LORD.
31 Hiche khopi kisahdoh til’a pat tuni geiyin, amahon apha abol pouve. Kalunghanna leh kamah ngenbou aboluvin, hijeh’a chu, hiche khopi hi, keiman kamitmu’a kon’a katolmang ding ahi.
For this city has aroused My wrath and fury from the day it was built until now. Therefore I will remove it from My presence
32 Israel leh Judah chonsetna, Jerusalem mite, lengpa leh achapateu, thempu holeh themgao ho, achonsetnau chun, keima eiphin doh’a chle eilunghansah ahitai.
because of all the evil the children of Israel and of Judah have done to provoke Me to anger—they, their kings, their officials, their priests and prophets, the men of Judah, and the residents of Jerusalem.
33 Hiche mitehin einungsun’uvin, keima heng lam’ah hung kihei dingjong ago pouve. Keiman amaho kahil hil vang'in, amahon ngai nahsah in aneipouvin, kathuhil hojong kilahlut ding agel pouve.
They have turned their backs to Me and not their faces. Though I taught them again and again, they would not listen or respond to discipline.
34 Amahon, keima insung tah’a jong, thet umtah doilim ho atungdoh uvin, nasatah in asuboh taove.
They have placed their abominations in the house that bears My Name, and so have defiled it.
35 Amahon, Ben Hinnom phaicham’a chun, doilim houna, Baal maicham tampi asemdoh un, achapateu leh achanu teuchu Molech heng’a, kilhaina thilto in atohdoh uvin ahi. Hitobang chonset gitlou nahi, keiman kalunggil’a kavop khahlou chule blding thupeh’a jong kanei khahlou hel ahi; Hiche hin Juda chu chonsetna’a alhahlut sah ahitai, ati.
They have built the high places of Baal in the Valley of Hinnom to make their sons and daughters pass through the fire to Molech—something I never commanded them, nor had it ever entered My mind, that they should commit such an abomination and cause Judah to sin.
36 Tun, nanghon hiche khopi hi, gal jeh, keljeh, chuleh natna hise jeh’a, Babylon lengpa khut’a kipedoh ahi. Atiuve. Ahin, keima, Pakai, Israel Pathen in kasei hi ipi ham, ngai uvin, ati.
Now therefore, about this city of which you say, ‘It will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword and famine and plague,’ this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says:
37 Vetan, kalunghan behseh jeh’a, kathethang na gam ho’a kon’a keiman ama hohi, kahin lepui kit diu ahi. Keiman amaho chu hiche khopi ahi, kahin lepuilut kit’a, amaho lungmong’a kachensah ding ahiu’ve.
I will surely gather My people from all the lands to which I have banished them in My furious anger and great wrath, and I will return them to this place and make them dwell in safety.
38 Chuti’a chu, amaho kamite hiuva, chule keima amaho Pathen kahi ding ahi.
They will be My people, and I will be their God.
39 Amaho chu, keiman lungthim khatseh leh lampi khatseh bou, keima eijabol theina diuva chule amaholeh ason apah’u phatchom nading’a, kapeh ahitai.
I will give them one heart and one way, so that they will always fear Me for their own good and for the good of their children after them.
40 Chuleh keiman tonsot geiya ding’a, amahotoh kitepna khat kasem ding, keiman amaho ding’a thilpha kabol kangahlou hel ding ahi. Chuleh amaho jong kei’a kon’a avel’a kahei manglou nadiuva, alungsung uva keima ginna lungchang kahoipeh ding ahiuve.
I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never turn away from doing good to them, and I will put My fear in their hearts, so that they will never turn away from Me.
41 Chuleh amaho ding thilpha kabolpeh’a kon’a, keima kakipa jing ding, kalungthim pumpi’a kitah tah’a amaho ding’a thilpha tampi kabolpeh’a, hiche gamsung hi avel’a thingphung kiphut bang’a kahulut kit ding ahiuve, ati.
Yes, I will rejoice in doing them good, and I will faithfully plant them in this land with all My heart and with all My soul.
42 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Keiman hiche mite chung’a hamsetna tampi kalhut khumden bang’a chu, keiman amaho chung’a thilpha tampi katepeh bang’a kabolpeh kit ding ahi.
For this is what the LORD says: Just as I have brought all this great disaster on this people, so I will bring on them all the good I have promised them.
43 Nangbon, ‘Hiche gamsunghi, Babylonte khut’a kapeh doh’a, mihem holeh sahem hojong abon’a mangthei soh’a, chuleh gamsunghi ahomkeu’a kimohjam’a hitam? Tia naseyu hiche gamsung’a loumun hojouse chu kichodo kit ding ahiuve.
And fields will be bought in this land about which you are saying, ‘It is a desolation, without man or beast; it has been delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans.’
44 Benjamin gamsung’a Jerusalem khopi leh akimvel’a, Judah khopi jouse’a, chule thinglhang gamsung jouse’a chule Negev gamsung’a kon’a, loumun ho jouse avel’a kichodoh kit ding, hiche kichohna lekha kijih’a chu, ahetoh miho jaona’a, kikhut henna leh Mohor kinamdetna umcheh ding ahi. Ajeh chu, keiman amaho chung’a hamphatna tincheng kapeh ding ahitai, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
Fields will be purchased with silver, and deeds will be signed, sealed, and witnessed in the land of Benjamin, in the areas surrounding Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah—the cities of the hill country, the foothills, and the Negev—because I will restore them from captivity, declares the LORD.”
