1Then Yahweh said to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.
1Huan, TOUPAN ka kiangah hichiin a chi a: Mosi leh Samuel ka maah hongding mahle uh, ka lungsim hiai mite lam a ngatuan kei ding. Ka muh phak louhah delhkhia inla, paimang uhen!
2It shall happen, when they tell you, Where shall we go forth? Then you shall tell them, Thus says Yahweh: Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for captivity, to captivity.
2Huan, koiah ka pai ding ua? chia nang a hondot uleh hichiin a kiang uah na chi ding hi: Hichiin TOUPAN a chi: Sihna tuam sihna ah; namsau tuam namsau ah; kial tuam kial ah, saltanna tuam saltanna ah.
3I will appoint over them four kinds, says Yahweh: the sword to kill, and the dogs to tear, and the birds of the sky, and the animals of the earth, to devour and to destroy.
3Thil li ka sehsak ding, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi: hihlum dingin namsau, kei zan dingin ui, ne khin leh hihmang dingin tunga leng vasa leh gam sahangte.
4I will cause them to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
4Juda kumpipa Hezekia tapa Manasein Jerusalema a thilhih jiakin lei kumpipa gam tengteng laka vial sepsep dingin ka bawl ding.
5For who will have pity on you, Jerusalem? or who will bemoan you? or who will turn aside to ask of your welfare?
5Kuan a hon hehpih dia, aw Jerusalem? kuan hon lungkhampih dia? na omdan dong dingin kua a lampial dia oi?
6You have rejected me, says Yahweh, you have gone backward: therefore have I stretched out my hand against you, and destroyed you; I am weary with repenting.
6Nang na honpai khiaa, na nungtawn tawna, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi. Huchiin kisik ka chimtaka, na tungah ka khut ka lika, ka honhihmang ahi.
7I have winnowed them with a fan in the gates of the land; I have bereaved them of children, I have destroyed my people; they didn’t return from their ways.
7Gam pumpia kulh kongpite ah kijapnain amau ka japa, ta beiin ka bawla, ka mite ka hihmanga; a omdan uh a kihei san louh jiak un.
8Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas; I have brought on them against the mother of the young men a destroyer at noonday: I have caused anguish and terrors to fall on her suddenly.
8Tuipi piaunel sanga tamin a meithaite uh ka pungsak dinga, suntang laiin tangvalte siatna dingin a tunguah lokmi ka tungsaka, mangbatna leh thil mulkimhuai ka tungsak guih a.
9She who has borne seven languishes; she has given up the spirit; her sun is gone down while it was yet day; she has been disappointed and confounded: and their residue will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, says Yahweh.
9Sagih suangnu a bahgawpa; kha tuh a khahta; sun a hih laiin a ni a keta, a zahlakin a lung buaia: huan a omlaite a melmate uh khut ah namsau thah dingin ka pe ding, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi.
10Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have not lent, neither have men lent to me; yet everyone of them curses me.
10Nu ei, gam pumpia kituahlouhna mi leh kikalhna mia non na suan ka tung gik hina tele! ka leitawi sak keia, miten leng a honlaitawi sak kei uh; ahihhangin a vek un hamsia a honloh himhim ngal ua.
11Yahweh said, Most certainly I will strengthen you for good; most certainly I will cause the enemy to make supplication to you in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
11TOUPAN, chihtak ngialin thil hoih adingin ka honhihkip ding; chih tak ngialin saitna ni leh haksatna niin melma na kiangah khut ka dohsak ding, achia.
12Can one break iron, even iron from the north, and brass?
12Min sik, mallama sik leh ngen a kitansak thei sin ahia?
13Your substance and your treasures will I give for a spoil without price, and that for all your sins, even in all your borders.
13Na khelhna tengteng jiakin na sum lah pai lah na gou thilte man beiin gallak dingin ka pe ding, na gam tawnin.
14I will make them to pass with your enemies into a land which you don’t know; for a fire is kindled in my anger, which shall burn on you.
14Na theih ngeilouh gamah namelmate na ka honsem sak ding. Ka heh jiaka mei na tunga ampha ding lah a kuangkheta ngala, achia.
15Yahweh, you know; remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors; don’t take me away in your longsuffering: know that for your sake I have suffered reproach.
15Nangman na thei hi, aw TOUPA; hontheigige inla, hongvehin, honsimmohte tungah phu honlak sak in. Na dohzohna ken manthat loh kei leng; nang jiaka minsiat thuak ka hi chih theiin.
16Your words were found, and I ate them; and your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by your name, Yahweh, God of Armies.
16Na thute hihlat ahia, ka ne a, na thute keia dingin kipahna leh ka lungtang nopna ahi; aw TOUPA, sepaihte Pathian, na min lah ka puta ngal ua.
17I didn’t sit in the assembly of those who make merry, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of your hand; for you have filled me with indignation.
17Nuamsip bawlmite lakah ka tel keia, ka kipahpih sam kei; nang khut jiakin ka tu tuama, lungkimlouhnain na hondimsak ngala.
18Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? Will you indeed be to me as a deceitful brook, as waters that fail?
18Bang dia ka natna dai theiloua, ka liamna dam theilou ahi, hihdam ut lou bang maia? ka tungah guam khemhat tui kang sekte bang na hi sin ahia?
19Therefore thus says Yahweh, If you return, then will I bring you again, that you may stand before me; and if you take forth the precious from the vile, you shall be as my mouth: they shall return to you, but you shall not return to them.
19Huchiin TOUPAN hichiin a chi: Na kihei leh a ngei kon bangsak ding, ka maah na ding nawn ding. Thil ginalou akipan thil manpha ngen na genkhiak leh keimah kam bang na hi ding. Amau nang lam hongnga uhenla, nang bel amau lam na nga ding ahi kei.
20I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall; and they shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you; for I am with you to save you and to deliver you, says Yahweh.
20Hiai mite laka jaw ngen kulh bangin ka honbawl dinga, a honsual ding ua, himahleh a honzou kei ding uh, nang honhondam ding leh honkhe dingin na kiangah ka om ngala, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi.Mi giloute khut a kipan ka honhonkhe dinga, mi lauhuaite khut akipan ka honpawtkhe sak ding.
21I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.
21Mi giloute khut a kipan ka honhonkhe dinga, mi lauhuaite khut akipan ka honpawtkhe sak ding.
