< Jeremiah 16 >

1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
Pakaiyin kahenga hitin aseiye,
2 Thou dost not take to thee a wife, Nor hast thou sons and daughters in this place.
“Hilai mun’a hi, nangman ji nakipuilou ding, chuleh chale nao jong naneilou hel ding ahi.
3 For thus said Jehovah, Of the sons and of the daughters who are born in this place, And of their mothers — those bearing them, And of their fathers — those begetting them in this land:
Ajeh chu hilaimun’a peng chate holeh apennau anuteu apateu chunga hungsoh ding thu chu, Pakaiyin hitin aseiye.
4 Of painful deaths they die, They are not lamented, nor are they buried, For dung on the face of the ground they are, And by sword and by famine are consumed, And their carcase hath been for food To the fowl of the heavens, And to the beast of the earth.
Amaho chu natna tijat umtah’a thidiu; Akadiu leh avuidoh diu diu jong umlou ding, athilong u chu leithao kisem banga alhuh lhuh’a kisedui, kijam thang deh diu ahi. Amaho chu, gal’a thiloi, kel’a thiloi umdiu, athisa atahsau chu ju le va ten aneh diu, chule gamsa hon anehdiu ahi.’’
5 For thus said Jehovah: Do not enter the house of a mourning-feast, Nor go to lament nor bemoan for them, For I have removed My peace from this people, An affirmation of Jehovah, The kindness and the mercies.
Chuleh Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Nangma thi-opna leh lunghemna mun’a lutdan, koima jong ga lhaset pih hih in. Ajeh chu keiman hiche mite a kon’a chamna le bitna kalahmangpih ahitai. Keiman kakhotona leh kahepina jong kalahmangpih ahitai.
6 And died have great and small in this land, They are not buried, and none lament for them, Nor doth any cut himself, nor become bald for them.
Hiche gamsunga cheng, mihao leh mivai thicheh diu ahi. Amaho chu avuidiu umlou ding chule akapi diu jong umlou hel ding ahi. Koima jong amaho thi dipdamna-a ki-at chen leh asam voutol umlou hel ding ahi.
7 Nor do they deal out to them for mourning, To comfort him concerning the dead, Nor cause them to drink a cup of consolations For his father and for his mother.
Mithi kapi holeh lunghempi ho dinga neh le don bolpih umlou ding; Anu leh apa thiho jeng jong koiman alhamon louding, akhohsah louhel ding ahi.
8 A house of banqueting thou dost not enter, To sit with them, to eat and to drink,
Hiche miho toh nekhom donkhom dinga, agolvah nau mun’a navalut louhel ding ahi.
9 For thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am causing to cease from this place, Before your eyes, and in your days, The voice of joy, and the voice of rejoicing, The voice of bridegroom and voice of bride.
Thaneipen Pakai, Israel Pakai chun hitin aseiye, “Keiman hilai mun’a hi, nangho mitmu tah le nangho nikholai tah’a hiche mite anopsah nau ogin, akipa thanupnau ogin chuleh moulang leh mounu kipa ogin, abon’a kasuh thip hel ding ahi.’’
10 And it hath come to pass when thou declarest to this people all these words, and they have said unto thee, 'For what hath Jehovah spoken against us all this great evil? yea, what [is] our iniquity, and what our sin, that we have sinned against Jehovah our God?'
Hicheng hi, amaho naseipeh tengle, amahon nahin dohdiu; Ibol’a Pakaiyin hibang a gimneitah’a eibol’uham? Hichan lom lom a gimbol dinga ipi kasuhkhel u umham? Pakai douna-a kachonset nau ipi lom lom ham? atidiu ahi.
11 Then thou hast said unto them: Because that your fathers have forsaken Me, An affirmation of Jehovah, And go after other gods, and serve them, And they bow themselves to them, And Me have forsaken, and My law not kept,
Chutengle nangman amaho jah’a. “Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, napu napateu chun kei eidalhauvin, semthu ho chibai aboh un chule ajenleuvin ahi. Amahon keima donlouvin eikoiyun chule kathupeh jong akhohsah pouve.
12 Ye also have done evil above your fathers, And lo, ye are walking each after the stubbornness of his evil heart, So as not to hearken unto Me.
Chule nanghon, napu napateu bol sanga khoh chehjo nabol uva, louchal tah in naum’un chule kathupeh dounan nachontauvin ahi.
13 And I have cast you from off this land, On to a land that ye have not known, Ye and your fathers, And ye have served there other gods by day and by night, Where I do not give to you grace.
Hijeh’a chu, keiman hiche gamsung a kon’a nangho kapaidoh diu, nangho le napu napateuvin ahetkhah louna gam’a kadellut ding nahiuve. Hiche mun’a chu, sun le jan’a nanghon semthu Pathen chibai naboh uva chule najenle diu, keiman nangho kakhoto tah louhel diu nahiuve,’’ ati.
14 Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And it is not said any more: 'Jehovah liveth, who brought up The sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,'
Pakaiyin aseiye, “Mihon akihahsel nauva, Pakai hingjing Pathen, Israel mite Egypt gam’a kon’a hinpui dohpa, tia aseilou nadin, phat ahung lhung e.
15 But, 'Jehovah liveth, who brought up The sons of Israel out of the land of the north, And out of all the lands whither He drove them,' And I have brought them back to their land, That I gave to their fathers.
amavang mihon, “Pakai hingjing Pathen, Israel mite sahlam gam’a kon leh akithe chehnau gam chom chom’a kon’a hinpuikhom kitpa, tia aseijoh diu ahitai. Ajeh chu, keiman amaho, hiche apu apateu kanapeh gamsung’a kahin lepuikhom kitdiu ahi.
16 Lo, I am sending for many fishers, An affirmation of Jehovah, And they have fished them, And after this I send for many hunters, And they have hunted them from off every mountain, And from off every hill, and from holes of the rocks.
Amavang, keiman ngaman mi tampi kasol in, amahon miho chu ahin matdingu, chule aban'in keiman changvai mi tampi kasol in, amahon mol le lhang jousea, chule songko le kom ho’a kon’a miho aga hol dingu ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
17 For Mine eyes [are] upon all their ways, They have not been hidden from My face, Nor hath their iniquity been concealed from before Mine eyes.
Ajeh chu, keiman amaho chena lamlhah phaten kavelhi jing in, athemmonau kamusoh keiyin ahi. Keidin akisel aumpon, amaho keiya kon in kiselmang thei pouvinte.
18 And I have recompensed a first — A second time — their iniquity and their sin, Because of their polluting My land, With the carcase of their detestable things, Yea, their abominable things have filled Mine inheritance.
Hijeh’a chu keiman, achunguva achonset nau lethuhna ajatnia kakalsah ding ahi. Ijeh inem itileh, amahon gamsung dimset in hinna neilou lim semthu Pathen tampi akoiyun, chule achongitlou nau jong gamsung apumdimtan ahi.
19 O Jehovah, my strength, and my fortress, And my refuge in a day of adversity, Unto Thee nations do come from the ends of earth, And say, Only falsehood did our fathers inherit, Vanity, and none among them is profitable.
O Pakai, nangma kahatna leh kakulpi nahin, hahsat genthei nikho’a kakiselna nahi. Leiset kol kimvel’a namtin vaipi naheng’a hung uvintin, hitia aseidiu ahi. “Kapu kapateuvin ahomkeo leh ngol thubuh thu jengin ipuiyun, pannabei doilim semthu ho anahouvun ahi.
20 Doth man make for himself gods, And they — no gods?
Mihem in ama dinga pathen akisemthu thei am? Hitobang kisemthu ho chu Pathen dih ahipoi.
21 Therefore, lo, I am causing them to know at this time, I cause them to know My hand and My might, And they have known that My name [is] Jehovah!
Hijeh chun vetan, keiman amaho chu kathahat kavetsah ding, chule keiman kathuneina jong kahetsah ding ahi. Chutengle amahon, “Keima Pakai kahi’’ ti ahet uva chule amuchet diu ahi.
