¹The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,

¹Jeremia kianga TOUPA thu hongtung:

²Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;

²Hiai thukhun thute ngaikhia unla, Juda mite leh Jerusalema tengte kiangah gen un;

³and say to them, Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: Cursed is the man who doesn’t hear the words of this covenant,

³Huan, nang a kiang uah, TOUPA Israel Pathianin hichiin a chi: Hiai thukhun thute ngaikhe loumi hamse thuakin om hen:

⁴which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so you shall be my people, and I will be your God;

⁴Huai bel na pipute uh, Aigupta gam, sik haltuina a kipana ka pikhiak nia, ka pau kamsuak mang unla, thu ka honpiak tengteng hih un, chia ka thupiak tak ahi: huchiin ka mite nahi ding ua, kei na Pathian uh ka hi ding:

⁵that I may establish the oath which I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day. Then answered I, and said, Amen, Yahweh.

⁵Na pipute uh kianga khuaiju leh nawituia luang gam kichiama piak ka chiam tak ka tangun theihna dingin tunia a om bangin, hichiin achia. Huan, ken, Amen, Aw TOUPA, chiin ka dawng a.

⁶Yahweh said to me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear the words of this covenant, and do them.

⁶Huan TOUPAN ka kiangah, Juda khopite ah leh Jerusalem kholakte ah hiai thu tengteng puang inla, Hiai thukhun thute ngaikhia unla, jui un.

⁷For I earnestly protested to your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.

⁷Na pipute un Aigupta gam a kipan ka pi khiak nia kipana tu tanin ka paukam suak mang un, chiin ka theisak seka.

⁸Yet they didn’t obey, nor turn their ear, but walked everyone in the stubbornness of their evil heart: therefore I brought on them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they didn’t do them.

⁸Himahleh a mang kei ua, bil a doh sam kei ua, mi chih, amau lungtang gilou bang jelin a omjaw uh. Huaijiakin hiai thukhun thu, hih dinga thu ka piak, a hih louh tengteng uh a tunguah ka hontungsakta ahi, achia.

⁹Yahweh said to me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

⁹Huan, TOUPAN ka kiangah, Juda mite leh Jerusalema tengte lakah phialgukna a om.

¹⁰They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words; and they are gone after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.

¹⁰A pipute uh, ka thu ngaikhe nuam loute thulimlouhna lamah a kilehhei nawn ua; pathian dangte na sem ding in a kuan ua: Israel inkote leh Juda inkoten a pipute uh kianga ka thukhun bawl pen a hihseta uh.

¹¹Therefore thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will bring evil on them, which they shall not be able to escape; and they shall cry to me, but I will not listen to them.

¹¹Huaijiakin TOUPAN hichiin a chi: Ngaidih ua, a tunguah thil hoihlou, a pelh het louh ding uh ka hontungsak ding; a honsam ding ua, himahleh ka dawng kei ding.

¹²Then shall the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem go and cry to the gods to which they offer incense: but they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble.

¹²Huan, Juda khopite leh Jerusalem a tengten pathian, a kiang ua gimlim a hal seknate uh a sam ding ua, himahleh a buai hun chiang un huaiten amau a humbit het kei ding hi.

¹³For according to the number of your cities are your gods, Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have you set up altars to the shameful thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal.

¹³Aw Juda, na pathiante lah nakhopi zah ahi ngal ua: thil zumhuai tak, Baal kianga gimlim halna ding maitam hialleng Jerusalem kongzing zah takin na nading sakta a.

¹⁴Therefore don’t pray for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry to me because of their trouble.

¹⁴Huaijiakin hiaite thumsak kenla, amau dingin ngetna hiam aw hiam suah sam ken; a buai hun chiang ua a hon sap uh leh ka ngaikhe sin ngal keia.

¹⁵What has my beloved to do in my house, since she has worked lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from you? when you do evil, then you rejoice.

¹⁵Thil kihhuai tak hih kawmin, ka deih mahmahin ka in ah tantuam bang ahia a neih? thukichiamte leh sa tanin na siatna ding uh a honpelsak thei ding ahia? Na suang thei ua hia?

¹⁶Yahweh called your name, A green olive tree, beautiful with goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he has kindled fire on it, and its branches are broken.

¹⁶TOUPAN na min dingin oliv sing hing, gah hoih kilawmpi, a honchia, lum honhonin a tungah mei a toha, ahiangte leng a kitan khinta.

¹⁷For Yahweh of Armies, who planted you, has pronounced evil against you, because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have worked for themselves in provoking me to anger by offering incense to Baal.

¹⁷Sepaihte TOUPA, nang honphutpan, Israel inkote leh Juda inkote khelhna, Baal kianga gimlim lana, honhehsakna thil uh, amau adia a sepkhiak tung ua thil hoihlou ding thu na tungah a phuang kheta hi.

¹⁸Yahweh gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it: then you showed me their doings.

¹⁸TOUPAN hontheisaka, ka theita: huchiin nang mahmahin a thilhihte uh na honkawkmuhta.

¹⁹But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter; and I didn’t know that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.

¹⁹Kei bel belamnou nunnem tak, goh dinga pi bang ka hi, sing pen a gah toh, hihsia ni e, mihing gam a kipan amah jaw i hihmang vengveng ding uh, a min mawngmawng theih a hih louhna dingin, chia ka tunga a thil sawm uh ka nathei het kei.

²⁰But, Yahweh of Armies, who judges righteously, who tests the heart and the mind, I shall see your vengeance on them; for to you have I revealed my cause.

²⁰Himahleh, aw sepaihte TOUPA, dik taka vaihawm sekpa, sunggil lam leh lungtang entel sekpa, a tung ua na phulak honmu sakin, ka tungtangthu lah na kiangah ka hon kemsak ngala.

²¹Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning the men of Anathoth, who seek your life, saying, You shall not prophesy in the name of Yahweh, that you not die by our hand;

²¹Huaijiakin sepaihte TOUPAN Anathoth mi, na hinna zongpa, Ka khut ua na sih louhna dingin TOUPA minin thu gen ken, chimite tungtangah hichiin a chi:

²²therefore thus says Yahweh of Armies, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine;

²²Ngai un, amau ka gawt dinga, tangvalte namsauin a si ding ua, a tanute uh, a tapate uh kialin a si ding uh;si val himhim a om kei ding uh: Anathoth mite tungah lah thil hoihlou ka tun sin ngala, a gawtna kum ding mahmah uh.

²³and there shall be no remnant to them: for I will bring evil on the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.

²³si val himhim a om kei ding uh: Anathoth mite tungah lah thil hoihlou ka tun sin ngala, a gawtna kum ding mahmah uh.
