¹Juda Kumpipa Zedekia kum sawmna, huai bel Nebukadnezzar kum sawmlehgiatna Jeremia kianga TOUPA thu hongtung:

¹The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.

²Huailaiin Babulon kumpipa sepaih honin Jerusalem a um ua; huan, jawlnei Jeremia Juda kumpipa in ngakmi huang sungah a tang ahi.

²For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah's house.

³Juda kumpipa Zedekiain, Bangdinga, TOUPAN hichiin a chi: Ngaiin, hia khopi Babulon kumpipa khut ah ka pe dinga a la ding:

³For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;

⁴Juda kumpipa Zedekia leng Kaldai mite khut akipan a pawt kei ding, Babulon kumpipa khuta matsakin a om zo dinga, kimaituahin a kihoupih ding ua, a mit ngeiin a mela mu ding;

⁴And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;

⁵huan, Zedekia bel Babulon gamah a pi dinga, amah ka veh mateng huailaiah a om nilouh ding: Kaldaite dou mahle uchin na lohching kei ding uh, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi, chih gen na hia? Chiin a tangsak ahi.

⁵And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith the LORD: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper.

⁶Huan, Jeremiain, TOUPA thu ka kiangah a hongtunga:

⁶And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

⁷Ngaiin, na pangak Shallum tapa Hanamel Anathoth Khuaa ka lou nanga dingin leiin: goukhawm thei na hih jiakin non leisak ding ahi, chiin na kiangah ka hongpai ding, chiin

⁷Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is thine to buy it.

⁸Huchiin ka pangak tapa hanamel Anathoth khuaa ka lou honleisak tanla, goukhawm thei na hih jiakin na tat ding ahi, nanga dingin lei maiin, a chi a. Huchiin hiai TOUPA thu ahi chih ka theitaa.

⁸So Hanameel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the LORD, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD.

⁹Huan, ka pangak tapa Hanamel Anathoth khuaa lou ka leitaa, dangka ka buksaka, a dangkasik shekel sawmsagih tak ahi.

⁹And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle's son, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.

¹⁰Huan, lai ka gelha, ka hilha, theihpihmi ka sama, dangka pen bukna ah ka khaia.

¹⁰And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.

¹¹Huan, kileina lai kilei dan leh a omdan gelhna bilh leh bilh louhte ka laa.

¹¹So I took the evidence of the purchase, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open:

¹²Huan, ka pangak tapa Hanamel mitmuhin leh theihpihmi leinaa min tuang teite mitmuhin leh ngakmi huang sunga Juda tu tengteng maah Mahseia tapa Nera tapa Beruk ka piaa.

¹²And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle's son, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison.

¹³Huan Baruk bel a ma uah thu ka piaa, Israel Pathian sepaihte TOUPAN hichiin a chi:

¹³And I charged Baruch before them, saying,

¹⁴Hiai lai, leina lai, bilh louhte la inla, leibel ah koih inla, a om sawt theihna dingin,

¹⁴Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both which is sealed, and this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.

¹⁵Israel Pathian sepaihte TOUPAN hichiin a chi ngala: hiai gamah inte, loute, grep huante miten a honlei nawn ding uh, chiin.

¹⁵For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.

¹⁶Huan, Neria tapa Baruk kiangah leina lai ka piak nungin TOUPA kiangah ka thuma,

¹⁶Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the LORD, saying,

¹⁷Aw TOUPA PATHIAN, ngaiin, na thilhihtheihna thupi leh na khut jakin lei leh van na bawltaa;

¹⁷Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:

¹⁸Nanga din thilhih haksa lua a im het kei hi: sang tampite kiang a hehpihna musak sekpa leh pate thulimlouhna a nung ua a tate un tunga thukpa: Pathian thipi leh thilhihthei: a min sepaihte TOUPA:

¹⁸Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, is his name,

¹⁹Thilgel siam tak, thilhihthei tak, mihing tate imdan tengteng mu chianpa:

¹⁹Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:

²⁰Mi chiha omdan u leh a thilhih uh bangbanga thukpa: Aigupta gama chiamtehnate leh thillamdang hihpa, tuni tana Israel leh midang laka hih toujelpa, tuni tana Israel leh midang laka hih toujelapa, tuni bang mahmah min kibalpa,

²⁰Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and hast made thee a name, as at this day;

²¹Na mi Israelte, Aigupta gam akipan chiamtehnate, thil lamdangte, khut hat leh ban zak leh thil mulkimhuai thupi taka pipa,

²¹And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with great terror;

²²Hiai khuaiju leh nawituia luang gam a pipute uh kianga kichiama piak chiama pepa:

²²And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;

²³A honglut ua, a luah vek ua, himahleh na paukam a taksang kei ua, na dan lah a zui sam kei uh; hih dinga na piak himhim a hih kei ua, huaijiakin hiai thil hoihlou tengteng a tunguah na tungsak hi.

²³And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them:

²⁴En dih, khopi lakna ding lei vupte a hongomta ve: namsau te, kial te, hipi te jiakin khopi leng a simmi Kaldaite khut ah piak a hita: na gensa a hontungta: endih, na muta hi.

²⁴Behold the mounts, they are come unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest it.

²⁵Ahia lah, Aw TOUPA PATHIAN, nang ka kiangah, Lou dangkain leiin la, thutheimite samin: khopi bel Kaldaite khuta piak a hita, na chi, a chi a.

²⁵And thou hast said unto me, O Lord GOD, Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

²⁶Huan TOUPA thu Jeremia kiangah a hongtunga,

²⁶Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,

²⁷Ngai in, kei TOUPA sa nei tengteng Pathian ka hi, kei dingin haksa lua a om ahia? Chiin.

²⁷Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

²⁸Huaijiakin TOUPAN hichiin a chi: Ngaiin hiai khopi Kaldaite khut ah leh Babulon kumpipa Nebukadnezzar khut ah ka pe dinga, a la ding:

²⁸Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:

²⁹Huan, hiai khopi simmi Kaldaite a hongpai ding ua, hiai khopi a hal ding ua, a kang ding, honhehsak dinga Baal kianga gimlim latna, pathian dangte kianga dawnding lat butkhiakna intuing nei in tengteng toh.

²⁹And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured out drink offerings unto other gods, to provoke me to anger.

³⁰Israel tate leh Juda taten a tuailai chik ua kipanin ka mitmuhin thil hoihlou ngen a hih ngal ua: Israel taten a khut nasepte uh a honhehsak phet uhi, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi.

³⁰For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done evil before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the LORD.

³¹Hiaia khopi alam tung ua kipan tutanin honhehsaktu leh honthangpaisaktu ahi nilouh ngala: ka maa kipana ka hihman vengveng na dingin: Israel tate leh Juda tate honhehsak dinga a thil hoihlou hih sate uh tengteng jiakin,

³¹For this city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face,

³²Amau, a kumpipate uh, a heutute uh, a siampute uh, a jawlneite uh, Juda mite Jerusalem luahmite tengteng toh.

³²Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

³³Kei lam hongnga louin a dek sah uh a honngat ua, tawlnga lou hialin sinsakta mah leng, sinsakna lasawn dingin a ngeingaih ngal kei uh.

³³And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.

³⁴Ka min tuanna in hinthanghuai dingin a kihhuainate uh a koih jaw uhi.

³⁴But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.

³⁵Huan, Ben-Hinnom guama Baal biakna mun sangte a lamkhia ua, a tanute uh, a tapate uh Molek kianga meia a paihna ding un, Judate thil gilou hihsak dinga hiai kihhuai a hih uh ka thupiak ahi het kei hi, ka lungsim ah leng a lut ngeikei hi.

³⁵And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

³⁶Huaijiakin tuin jaw TOUPA Israel Pathianin, hiai khopi, namsau te, kial te, hipitein Babulon kumpipa khut ah piak ahita na chih nak uh, thuah hichiin ahi:

³⁶And now therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence;

³⁷Ngai dih, ka hehna te, ka lunghihlouhna te, ka thangpaihna thupi mahmah tea amau ka delh manna gam tengteng akipan ka pi khawm dinga, hiai mun ah ka hontun dinga, bittak in ka omsak ta ding.

³⁷Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:

³⁸Huan, ka mite ahi ding ua, kei a Pathian uh ka hi ding.

³⁸And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:

³⁹Khantawna a honlau den theihna ding un lungtang kibang leh omdan kibang ka bawlsak ding: amau leh a nung ua a tate uh hoihna dingin.

³⁹And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:

⁴⁰Huan, a kiang uah khantawn thukhun ka bawl dinga, amau lehngatsan louin, a honlauna ka hih gige ding; a hontuam san louhna ding un a lengtangte uah honlauna uh ka koih ding.

⁴⁰And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.

⁴¹Ahi, a hoihna uh hih ka kipahlam ahi dinga, ka lingtang tengtengin hiai gamah ka phut ngeingei ding.

⁴¹Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.

⁴²TOUPAN hichiin a chi ahi: Hiai mite tunga thil hoihlou thupi mahmah ka tut bang takin amau kianga thil hoih ka chiam tengtengte ka tungsak ngeingei ding.

⁴²For thus saith the LORD; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.

⁴³Gam segawp, Kaldaite khuta piaksa, mi leh sa om nawn lou, na chih gam uah loute a kilei nawn ding uhi.Benjamin gamahte, Jerusalem khopi kim mun ahte, Juda gam khopi ahte leh sim lam khopi ahte miten dangkam loua lei ding ua, leina lai a gelh ding ua, a bilh ding ua, theihpihmite a sam ding uhi: a omdan uh ka hei sin ngala, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi.

⁴³And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

⁴⁴Benjamin gamahte, Jerusalem khopi kim mun ahte, Juda gam khopi ahte leh sim lam khopi ahte miten dangkam loua lei ding ua, leina lai a gelh ding ua, a bilh ding ua, theihpihmite a sam ding uhi: a omdan uh ka hei sin ngala, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi.

⁴⁴Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and seal them, and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the LORD.
