¹Babulon kumpipa Nebukadnezzar te, a sepaih hon tengteng, amah thu nuaia leia lalna gam tengteng leh mipi tengteng in Jerusalem leh a khopi tengteng a sual lai ua TOUPA kiang akipana Jeremia kianga thu hong tung:

¹The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying,

²Israel Pathian, TOUPAN hichiin achi: Juda kumpipa Zedekia vahoupih in, hichiin achi: Ngaiin, hiai khopi Babulon kumpipa khut ah ka pe dinga, meiin a hal ding:

²Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:

³A khut akipan na suakta hetkei ding: mat na hiding a, a khut ah hon pe ding ua, na mit ngei in Babulon kumpipa na mu dinga, paukam ngeiin na kihoupih ding ua, Babulon gamah na hoh ding hi.

³And thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.

⁴Ahihhangin, aw Juda kumpipa, Zedekia, TOUPA thu ngaikhe jel dih: na tungtang thu ah TOUPAN hichiin a chi hi:

⁴Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword:

⁵Namsau in na si kei dinga, muang takin ahi na sih ding: na maa kumpipa masa, na pipute gimlim a halsak bang un, nang leng ahon halsak ding uh: a honsun ding ua, Ehe heh, ka pu, chiin. Thu ka khahta hi, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi, chiin.

⁵But thou shalt die in peace: and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings which were before thee, so shall they burn odours for thee; and they will lament thee, saying, Ah lord! for I have pronounced the word, saith the LORD.

⁶Huan, jawlnei Jeremia in hiai thu tengteng Jerusalem a Juda kumpipa Zedekia kiangah a gen a;

⁶Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,

⁷Babulon kumpipa sepaih honten Jerusalem leh Juda khopi omlai tengteng, Laki leh Azeka a sual lai un: Juda khopi laka kulh neite lah hiai te kia ahita ngal ua.

⁷When the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these defenced cities remained of the cities of Judah.

⁸Kumpipa Zedekia in Jerusalema om mipi tengteng kiang ah, mi chih in a sikhanu toh a sikhapa te uh, Hebru nu hiam Hebru pa hiam ahih uleh, a khah ding uh ahi:

⁸This is the word that came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them;

⁹A unaupa Hebru mi nasepsakin kuamah a om ding uh ahi kei, chia noplenna thu a phuana, thukhun a bawl nunga Toupa kianga kipan Jeremia kianga thu hong tung:

⁹That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve himself of them, to wit, of a Jew his brother.

¹⁰Mi chihin nasemnu hiam nasempa hiam a khah ding ahi, amau nasepsakin kuamah a om ding uh ahi kei, chih thukhun pommi heutu tengteng leh mipi tengteng in thukhun a mang ua, a khahta ngei ua;

¹⁰Now when all the princes, and all the people, which had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more, then they obeyed, and let them go.

¹¹Ahihhangin huai nungin a kihei ua, a nasemnu uh leh a nasempa uh a khahsate uh a kai kik ua, a thu nuai uah nasemmi dingin a koih nawn uh:

¹¹But afterward they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.

¹²Huaijiakin Jeremia kiang ah TOUPA thu a hongtung nawna; Toupa Israel Pathian in hichiin a chi:

¹²Therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

¹³Aigupta gam, saltanna gam a kipan ka pi khiak niin na pipute uh kiangah thukhun ka bawla,

¹³Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying,

¹⁴Mi chihin a unaupa, Hebru mi, a kianga juaksa, kum guk ana nasemsa a kum sagihna tawpin a khah ding ahi, chiin: na pipute un bel a honngaikhe kei ua, a bil uh a doh sam kei uh.

¹⁴At the end of seven years let ye go every man his brother an Hebrew, which hath been sold unto thee; and when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear.

¹⁵Tuin nouten, na hongkihei ua, mi chihin a insak inkhangpa kianga noplenna thu phuangin ka mitmuhin thil dik non hihta ua: Ka min tam inah ka maah thukhun na hongkibawlta ua;

¹⁵And ye were now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:

¹⁶Himahleh na kihei nawn ua, ka min na hihbuah un a ut bangtak ua na khahsa nung uh, na sikhanu leh na sikhapa uh na pi kiknawn ua, na thunuai uah nasemmi ding bang sikhanute ding bangin na koih nawn uh.

¹⁶But ye turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom he had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.

¹⁷Huaijiakin TOUPAN hichiin achi: Michih amah unau leh amah insak inkhang kianga noplenna thu phuang ding in ka thu na ngaikhe kei ua; ngai un, ken na kiang uah noplenna thu ka phuang hi, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi; namsau te, hipi te, kial te in ahi ding; lei a lalgamte tengteng lakah vik lenlen dingin ka honbawl ding hi.

¹⁷Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.

¹⁸Huan, ka thukhun bohsiate, ka maa bawngnou at phel kikala pai suak hiala thu chiama tangtung sakloumi.

¹⁸And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, which have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me, when they cut the calf in twain, and passed between the parts thereof,

¹⁹Juda heutute leh Jerusalem heutute, michilgehte, siampute, mipi tengteng, bawngnou at phel kikala pai te;

¹⁹The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf;

²⁰a melmate uleh a hinna zongmite khut ah ka pe dinga; huan, a luang te uh tunga leng vasate leh leia gamsate an ding lel ahi ding.

²⁰I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.

²¹Huan, Juda kumpipa Zedekia leh a lawite a melma te uh leh a hinna zongmite leh Babulon kumpipa sepaih hon, nou honpaisansate khut ah ka pe ding hi.Ngai un, hiai khopia hong kik nawn ding in thu ka pe dinga, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi, huchiin a sual ding ua, a la ding ua, meiin a hal ding uh: huan, luahmi omlou in Juda khopite ka hihgam vek ding hi, chiin.

²¹And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which are gone up from you.

²²Ngai un, hiai khopia hong kik nawn ding in thu ka pe dinga, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi, huchiin a sual ding ua, a la ding ua, meiin a hal ding uh: huan, luahmi omlou in Juda khopite ka hihgam vek ding hi, chiin.

²²Behold, I will command, saith the LORD, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant.
