¹Kumpipa Zedekia in Malkija tapa Pashur leh siampu Maasei tapa Zehpania Jeremia kianga a sawl laia Jeremia kianga TOUPA akipana thu hongtung,

¹The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when king Zedekiah sent unto him Pashur the son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,

²Babulon kumpipa Nebukadnezzarin lah a hondouta ngala, TOUPAN a thilhih thupi tak a hihsek bangin a honhuh nuamin, a kik nawn sak mai kha diam chih TOUPA hondot sak dih ve, chiin.

²Enquire, I pray thee, of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon maketh war against us; if so be that the LORD will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us.

³Huan Jeremiain a kiang uah, Zedekia kiangah hichibangin vagen un: Israelte Pathian, TOUPAN hichiin a chi:

³Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah:

⁴Ngai in, Babulon kumpipa leh Kaldai mi, kulh puaa nang honumpa na douna galvan zat ka kiksak sin ahi; huan, hiai khopi sungah amau ka pi khawm ding.

⁴Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, wherewith ye fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans, which besiege you without the walls, and I will assemble them into the midst of this city.

⁵Keimah mahin leng heh leh lungkimlou mahmah leh thangpai takin ban jakin ban tha hat zangin nang ka hondou ding.

⁵And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath.

⁶Hiai khua a teng mihingte leh gante ka hihlum dinga, hipiin a si ding uh.

⁶And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence.

⁷Huai nungin, TOUPA thu pawtin a chi, kumpipa Zedekia leh a nungjuite leh mi dang hiai khuaa hi leh namsau leh kiala si loute, Babulon kimpipa leh a melmate uh khut ah leh amau that tummite khut ah ka pe ding. Namsau hiamin a that dinga, a hehpih het kei dinga, a hawi het kei ding, a lainat sam kei ding.

⁷And afterward, saith the LORD, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.

⁸Huan hiai mipite kiangah hichiin vagenin: TOUPAN hichiin a chi: Ngai un, sihna lampi leh hinna lampi ka honkoih saka.

⁸And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.

⁹Hiai khopi sunga om namsauin hiam kialin hiam hiin hiam a si ding uh; Kaldai mite nou honumpa kianga pawta kipiate bel a hing ding uh, a hinna uh kidouna kipahman ahi ding hi.

⁹He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey.

¹⁰Hiai khopi hoihna ding hi lou, a siatna ding ka tum bilbel ahi; Babulon kumpipa khuta piak ahi dinga, aman meiin a hal ding, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi.

¹⁰For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, saith the LORD: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.

¹¹Juda kumpipa inkote tungtang thu ah; TOUPA thu ngaikhia un,

¹¹And touching the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear ye the word of the LORD;

¹²Aw David inkote aw! TOUPAN hichiin a chi: Jingsangin vai dik takin hawm unla, simmohmi khut akipan loh thuakmi hun khia unla, huchilouin jaw ka hehna mei bangin a pawt dinga, kuamah phelh vual louh dingin a kang dia, na thil hihgiloute uh jiakin.

¹²O house of David, thus saith the LORD; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

¹³Ngaidih ua, guam janga tengte aw, nou guam jang suangpia tenga, Kuate ahia i omna ua honglut ding? chite aw, nou ka honlang ding hi. TOUPA thu pawtin a chi.Na thilhih uh gah bang jelin ka hon gawt dinga, a gam gammang ah mei ka khah dinga, a kim tengteng a kangmang ding, TOUPA thu pawtin a chi.

¹³Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, saith the LORD; which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?

¹⁴Na thilhih uh gah bang jelin ka hon gawt dinga, a gam gammang ah mei ka khah dinga, a kim tengteng a kangmang ding, TOUPA thu pawtin a chi.

¹⁴But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the LORD: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.
