< Jeremiah 31 >

1 At that time, says the Lord, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.
Hiche nikho lechun, Israel insung pumpia a Pathen’u kahi ding, chuleh amaho ka mite hiding ahiuve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
2 The Lord has said, Grace came in the waste land to a people kept safe from the sword, even to Israel on the way to his resting-place.
Hitobang manthah na hunglhung a kon’a hingdoh jouse chu, Pakaiyin aseiye, amahon gamkeulah jeng a jong Phattheina amudiu ahi. Ijeh inem itileh, keiman Israel mite kacholdosah phat ahitai, ati.
3 From far away he saw the Lord: my love for you is an eternal love: so with mercy I have made you come with me.
Pakaiyin Israel jah a hitin aseiye, ‘Khang masalai apat’a, kalungset nahiuve.
4 I will again make new your buildings, O virgin of Israel, and you will take up your place: again you will take up your instruments of music, and go out in the dances of those who are glad.
Kamite vo, Israel nungah thengtah, keiman nangma kasahphat kit ding nahi. Chutengle nangma nakipa ding, chuleh khutbeh pum’a nalam ding ahin, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
5 Again will your vine-gardens be planted on the hill of Samaria: the planters will be planting and using the fruit.
Nangman Samaria molsang chung ho’a, lengpilei nakibol’a, chuleh nangma honlei’a ga chu naneh ding ahi.
6 For there will be a day when those who get in the grapes on the hills of Ephraim will be crying, Up! let us go up to Zion to the Lord our God.
Ephraim molsang chung’a khongah’a panghon, mi ahinkou diu, hung uvin, eiho Jerusalem a chetou vuhitin, Pakai I Pathen u gahouvu hite, atidingu nikho chu hunglhung ding ahi, ati.
7 For the Lord has said, Make a glad song for Jacob and give a cry on the top of the mountains: give the news, give praise, and say, The Lord has given salvation to his people, even to the rest of Israel.
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, ‘kipahtah in Israel din la sauvin! Namtin vaipi lah’a aodoh jeng un, thangvah pumin vahchoi un! Vo, Pakai Israel mite amoh chengse hi, huhdoh in, tiuvin.
8 See, I will take them from the north country, and get them from the inmost parts of the earth, and with them the blind and the feeble-footed, the woman with child and her who is in birth-pains together: a very great army, they will come back here.
Ajeh chu keiman amaho chenghi, sahlam gamho akon chule leiset ningli a kon’a, kahin puikhom ding ahiuve. Keiman mitcho ho, elbai ho, numei naovop laileh naosonat pet hojong, haimil ponge. Mitampi, ahon hon’a hung kile kitdiu ahi.
9 They will come with weeping, and going before them I will be their guide: guiding them by streams of water in a straight way where there is no falling: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is the first of my sons.
Kamite amai uva kipana mitlhi vachut chut ding, keiman amaho chu hepitah aa inmun uva kahin puilut kit ding ahiuve. Vadung panglah’a thimjel’a lam ajot diu, akiselhuh lou nadiuva lampi nomtah’a cediu; ajeh chu keima Israel ding a apa kahin, chule Epharaim chu kacha masapen ahi.
10 Give ear to the word of the Lord, O you nations, and give news of it in the sea-lands far away, and say, He who has sent Israel wandering will get him together and will keep him as a keeper does his flock.
Namtin vaipin, Pakai thusei hohi ngai uvin. Gamlatah’a twikhanglen pang’a cheng ho heng’a gaphongdoh uvin. Kelngoi chingpan akelngoite ahoitup bang’a kamite ana thengthang jongleng, keiman amaho chu kahin khopkhom kit’a, kangatup ding ahi.
11 For the Lord has given a price for Jacob, and made him free from the hands of him who was stronger than he.
Ajeh chu, Pakaiyin Israel mite chu, achung'uva thunei namtin vaipi hoa kon’a, ahuhdoh’a ajalensah ahitai.
12 So they will come with songs on the high places, flowing together to the good things of the Lord, to the grain and the wine and the oil, to the young ones of the flock and of the herd: their souls will be like a watered garden, and they will have no more sorrow.
Amaho a in uva hung kile kit uva, Jerusalem molvum’a kikhom diu, kipa nopna la asah diu ahi. Pakai phattheiboh tampi chang uva, vah bang a imatdiu; changle mem, lengpitwi thah thah, olive thao, chule kelngoi ahon hon’a, ninglhing sel’a aneidiu ahi. Ahinkhou chu, twi kichapnou jing honlei bang’a, hing dildel ding chule agenthei nau asuhmil diu ahitai.
13 Then the virgin will have joy in the dance, and the young men and the old will be glad: for I will have their weeping turned into joy, I will give them comfort and make them glad after their sorrow.
Chutengle nungah ho kipah thanom’a lam ding’u, chuleh gollhang holeh upa ho jong kipah thanom diu ahi. Keiman alung hemnau chu kipana-a kaheidoh peh’a, amaho kalhamon ding, chuleh agenthei nau chu kipa golnop’a kaheidoh ding ahi.
14 I will give the priests their desired fat things, and my people will have a full measure of my good things, says the Lord.
Chutah le thempu hon nang jeng’a anneh amu diu, chuleh kamiten amaho ding’a kaphat naho chu ninglhingsel a amu uva, kipah thanom’a amu diu ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
15 So has the Lord said: In Ramah there is a sound of crying, weeping and bitter sorrow; Rachel weeping for her children; she will not be comforted for their loss.
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, ‘Rama kho’a kalemnau agin akijai, lhase tahle lainatah a ka-gin ahi. Rachel in achate akipi pi jeng in, achate abeisoh tah jeh in, ama lhepbi ding anompoi.
16 The Lord has said this: Keep your voice from sorrow and your eyes from weeping: for your work will be rewarded, says the Lord; and they will come back from the land of their hater.
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, nangma kap tahih in, chule namitlhi jong hulsah tan. Ajeh chu natohman nakipe ding, chule gamla tah’a kon’a nachate naheng’a hung kile kit ding ahiuve, ati.
17 And there is hope for the future, says the Lord; and your children will come back to the land which is theirs.
Na khonung thu ding uchu kinep na aum e. Pakai yin aseiye, nachate nagam uva hung kile kit teiding ahiuve, ati.
18 Certainly Ephraim's words of grief have come to my ears, You have given me training and I have undergone it like a young cow unused to the yoke: let me be turned and come back, for you are the Lord my God.
Keiman Israel ka-gin kajan, hitin aseiye. ‘Bongnou natohji hilthem loulai bang in, nang in keima nei sudihtai. Nang in keima neinung puikit in, neisempha kit tai. Ajeh chu nangma Pakai ka-Pathen nahi, ati.
19 Truly, after I had been turned, I had regret for my ways; and after I had got knowledge, I made signs of sorrow: I was put to shame, truly, I was covered with shame, because I had to undergo the shame of my early years.
Ijeh inem itile, keiman Pathen kanungsun nung in, kalung kakhel kit in; keile kei kaki chume. Ajeh chu, kaneo vapat kana bolse ho jal'in, ka kisulungdong in, kajahachai.
20 Is Ephraim my dear son? is he the child of my delight? for whenever I say things against him, I still keep him in my memory: so my heart is troubled for him; I will certainly have mercy on him, says the Lord.
Israel chu kacha deitah hilou ham? Tin Pakai in aseiye. Keiman achung’a talen kamatsah jing vang'in, keiman ama kangailu jing’e. Hijeh chun, kalung in ama bou angai’in, chuleh ama chung’a hepi na kanei jing’e, ati.
21 Put up guiding pillars, make road signs for yourself: give attention to the highway, even the way in which you went: be turned again, O virgin of Israel, be turned to these your towns.
Nangman nalampi melchihna kisim inlang, chuleh nalampi’a lamhil khom ho jong tung in. Na lampi chu phaten ki melchih inlang, hiche’a chun hung kinung kit in, Vo Israel, nungah theng. Nakhopi’a hung kile kit in.
22 How long will you go on turning this way and that, O wandering daughter? for the Lord has made a new thing on the earth, a woman changed into a man.
Vo chanu kitah lou nu, itih chan nangma navathai ding ham? Pakai in gamsung’a thil thah khat asoh sah ding ahi. Israel in a Pathen chu akolchah ding ahitai.
23 So the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, Again will these words be used in the land of Judah and in its towns, when I have let their fate be changed: May the blessing of the Lord be on you, O resting-place of righteousness, O holy mountain.
Hatchungnung Pakai, Israel Pathen in asei e, keiman asohchan nao gamtin’a kon’a, agamsung uva kahin le pui lut kit teng: Judah gamsung le akhopi jouseuva cheng hon, Jerusalem lhang theng adih ho chenna mun, Pakai in phattheiboh hen, ati diu ahi, ati.
24 And Judah and all its towns will be living there together; the farmers and those who go about with flocks.
Chuteng khopi a cheng ho, lou bol mi ho chuleh kelngoi ching ho, abonchao va chamdel leh kipahtah’a cheng khom ding ahi tao ve.
25 For I have given new strength to the tired soul and to every sorrowing soul in full measure.
Ijeh in nem itileh, acholte tha ki dodohsah ing ting, chuleh genthei te kipana kapeh ding ahi, ati.
26 At this, awaking from my sleep, I saw; and my sleep was sweet to me.
Chuin keima kathou doh in, kavet’a ahileh, ka emut chu katha aki dochom lhe in, lunglhei aume, ati diu ahi.
27 See, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will have Israel and Judah planted with the seed of man and with the seed of beast.
Pakai in aseiye “keiman Israel leh Judah gamsunga, mihem holeh gancha ho ka punjal sah ding, nikho chu ahunglhunge, ati.
28 And it will come about that, as I have been watching over them for the purpose of uprooting and smashing down and overturning and sending destruction and causing trouble; so I will be watching over them for the purpose of building up and planting, says the Lord.
Hiche nam mitehi, keiman ajungu kabo doh a, kana suh gim ahitaove. Keiman amahohi kalekhup in, ka sugam in, chuleh hahsatna kalhutkhum ahitai. Hijongleh keiman ama ho hi kaphulut kit ding chuleh kasahphat kitding ahiuve, kei Pakaiyin kasei ahi, ati.
29 In those days they will no longer say, The fathers have been tasting bitter grapes and the children's teeth are put on edge.
Hiche nikho chuleh, alah uva anakisei jing thuchih, “anu apa ten theithuh aneo vin achateu ha ajat loi” kiti chu koiman avela anungsei tahlou diu ahi.
30 But everyone will be put to death for the evil which he himself has done: whoever has taken bitter grapes will himself have his teeth put on edge.
Ajeh chu mijouse chu ama ama chonset jeh a thiding: hichu, theithuh nekha chan jong chu ama ama ha jacheh ding ahi, ati.
31 See, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new agreement with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah:
Pakaiyin aseie hiche nikho chu ahung lhunge, ‘keiman Israel mite le Judah mite toh, kitepna thah khat kasemdoh nading chu, ati.
32 Not like the agreement which I made with their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to be their guide out of the land of Egypt; which agreement was broken by them, and I gave them up, says the Lord.
Hiche kitepna thah chu, keiman Egypt gam’a kon’a apu pa teu kahin puidohlaiya, ama ho toh kanasemdoh kitepna tabongchu hilouding ahi. Ajeh chu keiman ama ho chu, innei pun a-innei pi alungset banga kana lungset vang'in, ama hon hichi kitepna chu ana suhkeh taovin ahi, tin Pakai in aseiye.
33 But this is the agreement which I will make with the people of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my law in their inner parts, writing it in their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.
Amavang, Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, keiman Israel mite toh hichi kitepna thah hi kasemdoh nikho chuleh, keiman amaho chu asungil uva umden ding a thupih kanei ding, chuleh hichiho chu alungchang uvakajehlut pih ding ahi. Chutahleh amaho chu kamite hiuva, keima a-Pathen u kahi ding ahi, ati.
34 And no longer will they be teaching every man his neighbour and every man his brother, saying, Get knowledge of the Lord: for they will all have knowledge of me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord: for they will have my forgiveness for their evil-doing, and their sin will go from my memory for ever.
Chutengle, koiman aheng akom chuleh ainsung mi ho kom’a, “nanghon Pakai chu heovin” tia ahil khoh ngai talouding ahiuve. Ajeh chu, amitakip, aneova paat alen geia, seipeh ngai louva keima eihetsau hiding ahitai, chuleh keiman agitlounau ka ngaidama chuleh aitih ajong achonset nao ka geldoh kit tah lou ding ahiuve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
35 These are the words of the Lord, who has given the sun for a light by day, ordering the moon and stars for a light by night, who puts the sea in motion, causing the thunder of its waves; the Lord of armies is his name.
Sunlai salvah ding a nisa koi pa, janlai a vahdinga lha le ahshi ho koipa, chuleh twikhanlen chohling’a kinonsah jing pa, Pakai ahi. Ama chu amin Hatchungnung Pakai ahi
36 If the order of these things before me is ever broken, says the Lord, then will the seed of Israel come to an end as a nation before me for ever.
Pakai in aseiye, keiman kami Israel te kasuh gamhiel ding kati chu, leiset chunga thilsem ejakai ka suhmanghiel tabong hiding ahi, ati.
37 This is what the Lord has said: If the heavens on high may be measured, and the bases of the earth searched out, then I will give up the seed of Israel, because of all they have done, says the Lord.
Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “chunga van thamjol khu iti ham, akitetoh theipoi, chule leiset kibulphu ajong koima kholdoh jou ahipoi. Hijeh chun, keiman kapaidoh louding ahiuve,” ati.
38 See, the days are coming, says the Lord, for the building of the Lord's town, from the tower of Hananel to the doorway of the angle.
Pakaiyin aseiye, “Vetan, Jerusalem khopi chu keidinga ahisah phat a chule Hananel insung’a pat khopi ninglang kelkot geija akisemphat nading nikho chu ahunglhung e,” ati.
39 And the measuring-line will go out in front of it as far as the hill Gareb, going round to Goah.
Hilai mun’a hi, thilte najol hung kijam ding, Gareb thinglhang lah gei aphah ding, chule Goah gei a kijam paiding;
40 And all the valley of the dead bodies, and all the field of death as far as the stream Kidron, up to the angle of the horses' doorway to the east, will be holy to the Lord; it will not again be uprooted or overturned for ever.
Phaicham pumpia, thivuina mun holeh thilnen paina munho, chule niso lam’a sakol kelkot gei a lou ho jouse, Pakai ding a atheng hiding ahi. Hichu aitih a kisuse’a chule kisumang kitlouhel ding ahitai, ati.
