Jeremiah 15

1 Then Yahweh said [this] to me: “Even if Moses and Samuel could [come back from their graves and] and stand in front of me [and plead with me for these Israeli people], I would not act mercifully [IDM] toward these people. [I would tell you], ‘Send them away from me. Cause them to leave me!’

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.

2 And if they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’, tell them, ‘This is what Yahweh says: The ones that I say must die, will die: The ones that I say must die in wars [MTY], will die in wars. The ones that I say must die from hunger, will die from hunger. The ones that I say must be captured [and taken to other countries], will be captured [and taken to other countries].

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.

3 I will send four things that will get rid of them: I will send [enemy soldiers using] swords to kill them. I will send wild dogs to drag away [their corpses]. I will send vultures to eat [their corpses]. And I will send [other] wild animals to eat what remains [of their corpses].

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.

4 Because of [the wicked things that] King Manasseh did in Jerusalem, I will cause [people in] all the kingdoms of the earth to be horrified about [what will happen in Judah to] my people.

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.

5 You [people of], no one will [RHQ] feel sorry for you. No one will [RHQ] weep/cry for you. No one will [RHQ] ask (how you are/if you are well).

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?

6 You people have abandoned me; you have continued to walk away [from me] [DOU]. So, I will lift up my fist to smash you; I will not act mercifully toward you any longer.

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.

7 At the gates of your cities, I will [scatter you like a farmer scatters the chaff from his grain by] (winnowing it/throwing it up to allow the wind to blow the chaff away) [MET]. You, my people, have refused to turn away from your evil behavior. [So], I will get rid of you, and I will even cause your children to be killed.

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.

8 I will cause there to be more widows [in Judah] than [there are grains of] sand on the seashore [HYP]. At noontime, [when people will not be expecting it to happen], I will cause [an enemy army] to attack you, an army that will destroy your young men and cause their mothers to weep. I will cause you to suddenly experience great suffering/pain and become very terrified.

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.

9 A woman who has seven children will become faint and (gasp for breath/be hardly able to breathe); [it will be as though] daylight will become darkness for her, [because most of] her children will be dead, and she will be disgraced and humiliated [DOU]. And her children who are still alive, I will enable your enemies to kill them. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.’”

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.

10 [I said to] my mother, “I am very sad; I wish that you had not given birth to me; everyone in this land opposes me and quarrels with me. I am not a person who lends [money to people and threatens to sue/harm them if they do not pay me back when they should], and I am not a person who borrows [money from others and then refuses to pay it back], but everyone [HYP] curses me.”

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.

11 But Yahweh replied to me, “[Jeremiah], I will take care of you. And at times when your enemies have troubles and disasters, they will [come to you and] plead for you [to help them].”

Pakaiyin eidonbut in, “Olmo hih in, keiman nangma kaumpi nai! Namelmate chu, nahung joldiu, hungtaodiu ahi.

12 [Yahweh also told me to say to the people] of Judah, “Your enemies, who are [as strong as] iron or bronze, [will attack you] from the north; no one will be able to stop them.

Koiham sahlam gamkaiya hungkon, thih lhon khat ahilouleh thih le sum-eng kihal lhonkhatong jou ding chu?

13 I will give all the valuable possessions [of the people of Judah] to their enemies, without them paying for it. Their valuable possessions will be the payment/reward [that I will give them] because of all the sins that you have committed throughout your country.

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.

14 I will tell your enemies to force you to become their prisoners, and to take you to other lands that you do not [even] know about, and force you to become their slaves. [That will happen] because I am extremely angry [with you]; my being angry is [like] [SIM] a fire that will burn forever.”

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.

15 [Then I said], “Yahweh, you know [what is happening to me]. [Please] come and (help me/take care of me). Punish those who are (persecuting me/causing me to suffer). [Please] do not continue to be patient with them and do not allow me to die now. It is (for your sake/because I serve you) that I am suffering.

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.

16 Yahweh my God, you are the Commander of the armies of angels; and when you spoke to me, I was delighted with your message; it caused me to be joyful, and I eagerly accepted [MET] what you said because I belong to you. [IDM, MTY]

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.

17 When the people were carousing together, I never joined them; I sat alone, because you [MTY] are the one who controls what I do. I was very angry [with those people because of their sins].

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.

18 So, (why do you [allow] me to continue to suffer?/I do not understand why you allow me to continue to suffer.) [RHQ] It seems that [RHQ] my wounds cannot be healed. [Sometimes you help me, sometimes you do not help me]. It seems that you are as undependable as a brook that has water in it only during certain seasons; you are like a spring that has dried up.”

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?

19 Then Yahweh [replied], “If you begin again to [trust in] me, I will restore you, in order that you can continue to serve me. If you proclaim good/valuable messages and not worthless ones, you will continue to be the one who speaks what I tell you to say. You must cause the people to pay attention to what you say; you must not pay attention to what they say.

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.

20 They will fight against you, but I will protect you, like [SIM] people are protected from their enemies by a bronze wall. They will not defeat you, because I will be with you, and I will protect and rescue [DOU] you.

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.

21 [Truly], I will keep you safe from those wicked people, I will rescue you when you are seized by cruel people. [That will happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”

Keiman migentheite khut’a kon kahuhdoh ding, dip damna beihel ho maiphavetna a kon kalhatdoh ding nahi,” ati.
