¹TOUPAN hichiin a chi: Juda kumpipa in ah hoh suk inla, hiai thu vagen in.

¹Thus saith the LORD; Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,

²Aw Juda kumpipa, David tutphah tunga tu, nang leh na nungjuite leh na mi hiai kongkhaka lutte toh, TOUPA thu ngaikhia unla, chiin:

²And say, Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter in by these gates:

³TOUPAN hichiin a chi: Diktak leh hoihtakin vai hawm unla; simmohmi khut akipan loh thuakmi hunkhhia unla; huan, mikhualte, pa neiloute leh meithai tungah te diklouhna hiam hiamgamna hiam ching kei un; hiai mun ah mi hoih sisan leng suah sam kei un,

³Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.

⁴Hiai thu jui ngei hi le uchin jaw, David tutphah tunga kumpipate kangtalaite leh sakolte tunga tuangin, amaute leh a nungjuite uh leh a mite uh hiai na kongkhakte uah a lut ngeingei ding uh.

⁴For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.

⁵Himahleh hiai thute na ngaihkhiak kei uleh, hiai in a segawp dinga, chiin, kei leh kei kilouin ka kichiam ahi, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi.

⁵But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.

⁶TOUPAN Juda kumpipa inkuan tungtang thu hichibangin a gen hi: Nang jaw kei ading in Gilead bang, Lebanon mual vum bang na hi: himahleh gamdai ka honsuaksak ding, luahmi omlou khopi bang maiin.

⁶For thus saith the LORD unto the king's house of Judah; Thou art Gilead unto me, and the head of Lebanon: yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and cities which are not inhabited.

⁷Nang hihmang dingte, galvan nei chiatin, ka bawlkhol dinga; na sidar sing telte a phuk ding ua, meiah a khul ding uh.

⁷And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons: and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.

⁸Huan, nam dang tampiten hiai khopi a pal paisuak ding ua, mi chihin amau insakinkhangte kiangah TOUPAN hiai khopi thupi mahmah bangdia hichi taka hih hi ding ahia eita? a chi ding uh.

⁸And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbour, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this great city?

⁹A Pathian uh TOUPA thukhun a lehngatsanua pathian dangte a biak ua, a na a sep jiak uh ahi, chiin a dawng ding uh.

⁹Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them.

¹⁰Misi kah kei unla, sun sam kei un; paimangmi bel nakpi mahmahin kah un, a hongkik nawn sin ngal keia, a pianna gam a muh nawn louh ding jiakin.

¹⁰Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him: but weep sore for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.

¹¹Juda kumpipa Sallum, Josia sika vaihawmpa, hiai mun akipan paikheta tungtang thu bel TOUPAN hichiin a chi: Hiaiah a hongkik nawnta kei ding.

¹¹For thus saith the LORD touching Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father, which went forth out of this place; He shall not return thither any more:

¹²Sala a pi na mun uah, huailai mahah a si dinga, hiai gam a mu nawnta kei ding.

¹²But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.

¹³Diktatlouhnaa in lama, diklouhnaa a dantan tungnungte bawlmi, a thawna amah insakinkhangte tha zang, loh pe nuam loumite tung a gik hi;

¹³Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;

¹⁴In thupi mahmah ka kilam dinga, dantan tungnung zapite neiin, tohlette ka hong dinga, sidar singin ka thuap suak dinga, ze san ka nuh ding, chimi tung mah.

¹⁴That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and it is cieled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.

¹⁵Sidar singa vuallehphai na khen jiakin, kumpipa kisa na hi maw! huan na pan a nein a dawna, diktakin vai a hawm ahi kei maw? huai tuh amah dingin a hoih ahi.

¹⁵Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him?

¹⁶Mi genthei leh tasamte a vaihawm saka, huai tuh a hoih ahi. Hiai tak na hontheihdan ding ahi maw? chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi.

¹⁶He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the LORD.

¹⁷Himahleh na huaihamnate adingin, mi hoih sisan suahna dingin, nuaisiahna ding leh hiamgamna ding leiin na mit leh na lungsim na pu ahi.

¹⁷But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it.

¹⁸Huaijiakin Judate kumpipa Jehoiakim, Josia tapa tungthu bel TOUPAN hichiin a gen a: Aw ka unaupa, chiin hiam, Aw ka sanggamnu, chiin hiam amah a kah kei ding ua, Aw toupa, chiin hiam, Aw thupi pen, chiin hiam amah a sun sam kei ding uh.

¹⁸Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!

¹⁹Jerusamlem kulh po lama lot khiaka, paihin, sabengtung vuia vuiin a om ding.

¹⁹He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.

²⁰Lebanon ah pai tou inla, kikouin, Basan ah na aw suah inla, Abarim akipanin kikou in, na mi itte tengteng a mangthangta ngal ua.

²⁰Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the passages: for all thy lovers are destroyed.

²¹Na lohchinin na kiangah thu ka gena, nang lah ka ngaikhe kei ding, na chi a, ka kamsuak na ngaihkhiak louh na tuailai akipanin hiai na omdan ahi hi.

²¹I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice.

²²Na belampute tengteng uh huihin a kivak ding ua, na miitte sal din a tang ding ua, nang leng gitlouna tengteng jiakin zahlak tak leh mangbang tak in na hongom ngei ding hi.

²²The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.

²³Aw Lebanon tanga teng, sidar sing laka bu septu natna na tunga a hongtuna na honghehpihhuai dingdan mai jaw! numei nauvei na bang maiin.

²³O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, the pain as of a woman in travail!

²⁴A hina ka hin sung, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi; Juda kumpipa Konia, Jehoiakim tapa bel ka khut taklama sawnna zungbuh himahle chin, huai a kipan ka honbot ngeingei ding.

²⁴As I live, saith the LORD, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence;

²⁵Huan, thah dinga nang hongzongmi khut ah, Babulon kumpipa Nebukadnezzar khut ah leh Kaldaite khut ah ngeingei nang ka honpe ding hi.

²⁵And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.

²⁶Na pianna hi lou gam dangah nang leh na nu nang honsuang ka honpai khe dinga, huaiah na si ding uh.

²⁶And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bare thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die.

²⁷A lungsim ua kik nawn a ut mahmahna gam uah a kik nawn het kei ding uh.

²⁷But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither shall they not return.

²⁸Hiai Konia pen bel kitam gawp, simmohhuai ahi ka hia? bel a sunga lungkimna omlouhna ahi kai maw? bangdia amah leh a suante paihkhiaka gam a theih ngeilouh ua paihkhiaka a om uh?

²⁸Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol? is he a vessel wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?

²⁹Aw, gam, gam, gam, TOUPA thu ngaikhia in,TOUPAN hichiin a chi, Hiai mi ta neilou, a damsunga lohching lou ding mi ahi, a suante kuamah lohchinga, David tutphah tunga tu ding lah Juda gama vaihawm nawn ding lah a om sin ngal kei ua, chiin gelh in.

²⁹O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD.

³⁰TOUPAN hichiin a chi, Hiai mi ta neilou, a damsunga lohching lou ding mi ahi, a suante kuamah lohchinga, David tutphah tunga tu ding lah Juda gama vaihawm nawn ding lah a om sin ngal kei ua, chiin gelh in.

³⁰Thus saith the LORD, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.
