¹The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,

¹Juda kumpipa Jehoiakim, Josia tapa kum lina ah Jeremia kama kipan hiai thute laibu ah a gelh laia Neria tapa Baruk kianga Jawlnei Jeremia thugen:

²Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch:

²TOUPA Israel Pathianin, Aw Baruk, na kiangah hichiin a chi: Nang, ka tung gikta na mai e:

³Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.

³TOUPAN lah ka thuakna ah lungkhamna a honbehlap ta ngala: ka thum ka bahpiha, tawldamna himhim ka mu zou kei na chi a.

⁴Thus shalt thou say unto him, The LORD saith thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land.

⁴A kianga hichia na gen ding ahi: TOUPAN hichiin a chi: Ngai in, ka lamsa ka phel nawn dinga, ka phuhsa ka bot khe nawn ding gam pumpi mahmah:Huan, nang adingin thil thupi na zong hia? Zong dah maiin: sa tengteng tungah lah thil hoihlou ka hontungsak sin ngala, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi: himahleh na hinna bel mun chiha na painana ah gallak dingin ka honpe ding, chiin.

⁵And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.

⁵Huan, nang adingin thil thupi na zong hia? Zong dah maiin: sa tengteng tungah lah thil hoihlou ka hontungsak sin ngala, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi: himahleh na hinna bel mun chiha na painana ah gallak dingin ka honpe ding, chiin.
