¹Huan Immer tapa, TOUPA ina heutupa pen, siampu Pashurin Jeremiain huai thute a gen chih a naja a.

¹Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who was also chief governor in the house of the LORD, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.

²Huchiin Pashurin jawlnei Jeremia a khena, TOUPA ina Benjamin Kongpi saknunga koltanna ah a tangsaka.

²Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the LORD.

³A jingin Pashurin Jeremia a khahkhia a, huan Jeremiain a kiangah. TOUPAN na min dingin Pashur a chi kei hi, Mager-missabib a honchi jaw hi.

³And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The LORD hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magormissabib.

⁴TOUPAN lah hichiin a chi ngala: Ngai in, nanga ding leh na lawmte tengteng a dingin kihtakin ka honbawl ding: amau a melmate uh namsauin a puk ding ua, nang jaw na mitin na en lel ding. Judate tengteng Babulon kumpipa khut ah ka pe vek ding: aman Babulon ah salin a pi dinga, namsauin a that ding hi.

⁴For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword.

⁵Huai banah, khopi hauhna tengteng, a sepkhiak tengteng, a thil manpha tengteng leh Juda kumpipate gou tengteng a melmate uh khut ah ka pe dinga, amau a lik ding ua, a man ding ua, Babulon ah a pi ding uh.

⁵Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city, and all the labours thereof, and all the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.

⁶Huan, nang Pashur, na in sunga om tengtengte toh sal ah na tang ding ua; Babulon ah na pai tei ding; huai ah na si dinga, huaiah vuiin na om dinga, nang leh na lawm juau thu na hilhsekte tengteng toh, a chi a.

⁶And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house shall go into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied lies.

⁷Aw TOUPA, nang non nakhema, khema om keita ve, nang jaw kei sangin na hata, non zoua; nitumin nuihsat ka hita, mi kuapeuhin a honnuih san uhi.

⁷O LORD, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived; thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me.

⁸Thu ka gen peuhmah chiangin, ka kikou khiaa, Hiamgamna leh siatna, chiin ka kikou; TOUPA thu bel kei adingin, nituma dem leh musit lohna kia ahi.

⁸For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the LORD was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.

⁹Amah ka kan kei dinga, a minin leng thu ka gen nawn sam kei ding, chi mahleng, ka guh sunga mei kang kikhumkhin bang maiin ka lungtang sungah lah a om ngal naka, ka pai kinken zou keia, ka pha zou mahmah kei hi.

⁹Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.

¹⁰Mi tampite phun gu ka ja, kil chih a lauhuai a om, Hek unla, i hek khawm ding uh, chiin. Ka lawmte ka puk chiang tang gige ten, Khemin a om dia, i zou ding, a tungah i phu uh i la ding, a chi ua.

¹⁰For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.

¹¹Himahleh TOUPA mihangsan kihtakhuai mahmah bangin ka kiangah a oma, a honsimmohte a puk ding ua, honzou kei ding uh. Zahlaktakin a om ding ua, a lohchin sin louh jiak un. Khantawna a minsiatna uh mangngilhin a om kei ding.

¹¹But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.

¹²Aw sepaihte TOUPA, mi diktatte enchianpa, lungtang leh lungsim mu paisuak sekpa, a tung ua na phulak honmusak dih ve, ka tungtang thu lah ka honkemsakta ngala.

¹²But, O LORD of hosts, that triest the righteous, and seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I opened my cause.

¹³TOUPA kiangah lasa unla, TOUPA phat un; thil gilou hihmite khut akipan panpih deihte hinna lah a humbit ngala.

¹³Sing unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.

¹⁴Ka piankhiak ni hamse thuakin om hen, ka nn a honpiaksak ni vualjawlin om dah hen.

¹⁴Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.

¹⁵Ka pa kianga, Tapa na neita hi, chih thu hontuna, hongkipaksakmi tak hamse thuakin om hen.

¹⁵Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad.

¹⁶Huai mi lah, TOUPAN hehpih het loua a sukgawp khuate bangin om hen, jingsang lamin kikou husa ja henla, sun ahih chiangin galdou husa;

¹⁶And let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;

¹⁷Sul sunga a honhihlup louh jiakin; huchi hihle bel ka nu ka han hi mai ding hia, a sulin khantawna honpai mai ding hi ven.Bangdia sul akipan hongpawt chitchiat ka hia, semgim leh lungkhama om dinga zahlak mawngmawnga ka damsung nite zang dingin?

¹⁷Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me.

¹⁸Bangdia sul akipan hongpawt chitchiat ka hia, semgim leh lungkhama om dinga zahlak mawngmawnga ka damsung nite zang dingin?

¹⁸Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
