¹Babulon tungtang, Kaldai mite gam tungtanga, jawlnei Jeremia kama TOUPA thu gen:

¹The word that the LORD spake against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.

²Nam chih lakah gen unla, phuang un, puanjak khai unla, phuang unla, sel kei un, Babulon lak ahita. Bel bel a zahlak a, a milim a se khinta.

²Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.

³Mal akipanin amah nam khatin a honsuala, huaiin a gam a hihgawp dinga, huailaiah kuamah a teng nawn kei ding ua; a taikek ua, a mangkhin ta uh, mi leh sate leng.

³For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.

⁴Huai nitein leh huai hun chiangin Israel tate a hongpai ding ua, amau leh Juda tate toh; kap kawmin a honpai ding ua, TOUPA a Pathian uh a zong ding uh; chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi.

⁴In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God.

⁵Zion lam ngain a kalsuanna ding uh a ding ding ua, Kisa un, khantawn thukhun manghilh nawn loh dingah TOUPA honglen un, a chi ding uh.

⁵They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.

⁶Ka mite jaw belam mang ahi ua; amau chingmiten a pi mang ua, mual ahte a pai mangsak ua, tangah te, mual dungahte a pai ua, a huang uh a manghilh khinta uh.

⁶My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.

⁷A mu peuhin a ne jel ua, a melmate un, I gilou kei, Toupa dikna omna a pipute uh lamet TOUPA hilhial tunga thil a hihkhelh jiak ahi, a chi ua.

⁷All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers.

⁸Babulon sung akipanin tai khia unla, Kaldaite gam akipan pai khia unla, kel hon laka keltalte bangin om un.

⁸Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.

⁹Ngaidih ua, Babulon hongsual dingin mal gam akipan nam honpi thupi tak kikaikhawm ka tokthou dinga, amah dou dingin a kisa ding ua: huai akipanin lak ahi ding uh: a thalte uh lah galbawl siamtak vuaksuak ngeilou bang ahi ding uh.

⁹For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.

¹⁰Huan, Kaldai lokin a om ding, a lok mite a tai ngial ding uh, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi.

¹⁰And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the LORD.

¹¹Kipak mahle uchin, nuamsa mahle uchin, aw ka goutan lok mite aw, lou lakah bawngla ta khialkhial bang leh sakoltal ham ngengek bang himahle uchin;

¹¹Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;

¹²Na nu uh a hongzum mahmah dinga, nou hongsuangnu a hongzahlak ding hi. Ngai un, namte laka nuainungpen, gamdai gam, gam keu, gam vuak ahi ding.

¹²Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.

¹³TOUPA hehna jiakin luahmi a om kei dinga, a sevek zo ding hi, Babulon hoh peuhmah a mulkim sak dinga, a siatna tengteng ziakin a tek ding uhi.

¹³Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.

¹⁴Thalpeu tawimi tengteng aw, Babulon um suakin kivual unla, kap unla, thalte chil kei un, TOUPA tungah lah a khialta ngal ua.

¹⁴Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the LORD.

¹⁵A kimvelin awng unla, amah leh amah a kipeta, a kulhte a puktaa, a bangte a chimta, TOUPA phu lakna ahi ngala, a tungah phu la unla, a hih bangbangin a tungah hih un.

¹⁵Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her.

¹⁶Babulon akipan chi thehmi attan unla, buh lak laia kawite tawimi toh, nuaisiahna namsau lauin amau mite lam a juan chiat ding ua, amau gam chiat ah a atai ding uh.

¹⁶Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.

¹⁷Isreal bel belam dalh jak ahia; humpinelkaiten a delh mang ua; Assuria kumpipan amah a ne phota, a tawpin Babulon kumpipa Nebukadnezzarin a guhte a haijanta hi.

¹⁷Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.

¹⁸Huaijiakin sepaihte TOUPA, Israelte Pathianin hichiin a chi: Ngai un, Assuria kumpipa ka gawt bangin Babulon kumpipa leh a gam ka gawt ding.

¹⁸Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.

¹⁹Huan, Israel a tatna ah ka pi nawn dinga, Karmel leh Bashan ah a ta dinga, Ephraim tangah leh Gilead ah amah a ta ding hi.

¹⁹And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim and Gilead.

²⁰Huai nite chiang huai hun chiangin Israel thulimlouhnate a zong ding ua, muh ding a om kei ding; Juda thilhihkhelhte leng muh ding a om sam kei ding; omsun dinga ka koihte lah ka ngaidam sin ngala, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi.

²⁰In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.

²¹Merathim gam sual un, a gam leh Pekod luah mite mahmah; that unla, hihgam sipsip unla, thu ka honpiak bangbangin hih un, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi.

²¹Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly destroy after them, saith the LORD, and do according to all that I have commanded thee.

²²Huai gamah gal husa a om, siatna thupi mahmah husa toh.

²²A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.

²³Khovel pumpi sek a kitamin, nak kek nen hina tel e:

²³How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!

²⁴Aw Babulon, nang dingin thang kama, theiloua awk neita ve; muhkhiak leh matin na omta, TOUPA na sual ziakin.

²⁴I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD.

²⁵TOUPAN a galvan bawm a hongta, a hehna vanzatte a lakhiaa, TOUPA, sepaihte TOUPAN Kaldaite gamah hih ding a nei hi.

²⁵The LORD hath opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the Lord GOD of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans.

²⁶Gamgi tawp pek akipanin honsual unla, a thil koihkhawmna inte hong vek unla, pai khawm unla, hihse vek un, a bangmah himhim hawi kei un.

²⁶Come against her from the utmost border, open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left.

²⁷A bawngtal tuaite hihlum vek unla, gohin om uhen. A tung uh gik hina tel e! A ni uh la a hongtungta ngala, amaute gawtna ni mahmah.

²⁷Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation.

²⁸TOUPA i Pathian phu lak, a biakin phu lakna ngei Ziona gen dinga Babulon akipana tai khia leh tai mangte husa ngei:

²⁸The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple.

²⁹Babulon sual dingin thal kap siam, thalpeu zangmi tengteng sam khawm un; a kimvelin buk bawl unla, kuamah suakta kei uhen; A thilhih bangbangin thuk un, a hihsa bang tengteng amah tungah hih un: TOUPA, Israel Mi Siangthou lah a tou ngam a.

²⁹Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.

³⁰Huaijiakin tangvalte a kholakte ah a puk ding ua, galkapmi tengteng huai niin a mangthang ding uh chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi.

³⁰Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD.

³¹Ngai in, nang mi kisathei, ka hondou ahi, TOUPA, sepaihte TOUPAN a chi. Na ni a hongtungta, na gawtna ding ni mah.

³¹Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the Lord GOD of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee.

³²Huan mi kisathei a kisuiin a puk dinga, kuamahin a phong kei ding ua, huan, a khopite ah mei ka khah dinga, a kimvela om tengteng ka kang siangsak vek ding.

³²And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.

³³Sepaihte TOUPAN hichiin a chi: Israel tate leh Juda tate nuaisiahin a om khawmta ua; sala amaute pimite tengtengin amau a len chinten ua, a khah nuam het kei uh. Amaute tanpha bel a hata; amin sepaihte TOUPA ahi.

³³Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.

³⁴Amah amau lama a panga, Babulona tengte hihbuaiin, khovela muanna a tut theihna dingin.

³⁴Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name: he shall throughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.

³⁵Kaldai mite tungah namsau a leng hi, Babulona tengte, a heutute uh leh a mi pilte uh tungah leng, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi.

³⁵A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the LORD, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.

³⁶Mi juautheite tungah namsau, mi hai a hongsuak ding uh: a galkap mi tungah namsau, a lunglel khin ding uh.

³⁶A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.

³⁷A sakolte uh leh kangtalaite uh tungah namsau, a sunga mi kilak-hel tengtengte tungah leng, numei bang phet a honghi ding uh: a gou thil tungah namsau, lokin a om maimai ding uhi.

³⁷A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed.

³⁸A tuite kangin a keu khina, milimte gam lah ahi ngal a, milimte lah a hailoh uhi.

³⁸A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols.

³⁹Huaijiakin gamdai gam sahangte, ngiate toh huailaiah a teng ding ua, Ostritte leng huailaiah a teng ding uh; luahin a om ngei nawn kei ding; suan tengteng phain leng luahin a om kei ding.

³⁹Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.

⁴⁰Pathianin Sodom leh Gomora leh a kho insakinkhangte a hihsiat bangbangin; huailaiah kuamah a tengta kei ding ua, mihing ta kuamahin a veh nawnta kei ding uh, TOUPA thu pawtin a chi.

⁴⁰As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.

⁴¹Ngai un, mal lam gam akipan mite a hong ua, leh mun tawpa kipan nam thupi tak leh kumpipa tampi a hongkuan uhi.

⁴¹Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.

⁴²Thalpeu leh tei a tawi ua, hiamgam tak, zahngaihna himhim neilou ahi uh. A husa uh tuipi ging huhu bang ahia, sakol tungah a tuang ua, mi chih galkapmi banga kivanin, aw, Babulon tanu, nang a hongsual sin uhi.

⁴²They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not shew mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.

⁴³A husa uh jain Babulon kumpipa khut a zota, numei nauvei lainatna bangin, natna thupitakin a manta hi.

⁴³The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail.

⁴⁴Ngai un, Jordan gam gammang akipan humpinelkai, kahna muna a hongtou bangin a hingpaitou dinga; amah akipanin amaute ka taimangsak pah ding; a tunga thu nei ding ka ut-ut ka sep ding. Kei bang kua a oma! Kuan sep ding. Kei bang kua kua a oma? Kuan ahia hunbi honsehsak ding? Belamchingmi kua ahia ka maa ding ding?

⁴⁴Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?

⁴⁵Huaijiakin Babulon tungah TOUPA thu hilh, Kaldai mite tunga a thil seh ngaikhia un. Gan hon noute ngei kaihmangin a om ding ua, gan kahna muna mite a mulkim sak ding.Babulon lakna husa ah lei a ling dinga, a kahna husa namte laka jak ahi ding hi.

⁴⁵Therefore hear ye the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.

⁴⁶Babulon lakna husa ah lei a ling dinga, a kahna husa namte laka jak ahi ding hi.

⁴⁶At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.
