¹The word of Yahweh came also to me, saying,

¹TOUPA Thu ka kiangah a hongtunga:

²You shall not take a wife, neither shall you have sons or daughters, in this place.

²Ji na nei ding ahi keia, hiai mun ah tanu tapate leng na nei ding ahi sam kei, chiin.

³For thus says Yahweh concerning the sons and concerning the daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who became their father in this land:

³Tanu tapa hiai muna piangte leh hiai gama nu leh pa amaute suangte tungtang TOUPAN hichiin a chi a:

⁴They shall die grievous deaths: they shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried; they shall be as dung on the surface of the ground; and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the sky, and for the animals of the earth.

⁴Hipiin a si ding ua, kuamah vui louh lah kuamah sun louhin a om ding uh; leitung ekvut bang lel ahi ding uh. Namsaute, kialtein a mangthang ding ua, a luangte uh tunga leng vasate leh gamsate an ahi ding.

⁵For thus says Yahweh, Don’t enter into the house of mourning, neither go to lament, neither bemoan them; for I have taken away my peace from this people, says Yahweh, even loving kindness and tender mercies.

⁵TOUPAN hichiin a chi hi: sunna in ah lut kenla, sun dingin hoh kenla, amau kah ken; hiai mite laka kipan ka lungmuanna ka hawkta ngala, chitna leh lainatnate toh, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi.

⁶Both great and small shall die in this land; they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them;

⁶Hiai gamah mi lian leh mi neute a si ding ua; vui ahi kei ding ua; kuamahin a sun kei ding ua, a ki-at un a kimet giau loh kei ding uh.

⁷neither shall men break bread for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.

⁷Lusunmite a misi ngai uh lungmuan dingin kuamahin nek ding a lui kei ding ua, a nu luh hiam a pa uh hiam jiakin leng nepna nou dawn ding kuamahin a tun kei ding uhi.

⁸You shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and to drink.

⁸Huan, ne leh dawn dingin a lak-ua tu dingin ankuangluina in ah na lut ding ahi kei.

⁹For thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.

⁹Sepaihte TOUPA, Israel Pathianin hichiin a chi ngala: Ngai dih ua, na mitmuh un, na damsung un mou aw te, mouneipa aw te, nuamsakna husa te, kipahna ging te hiai mun ah ka daisak ding.

¹⁰It shall happen, when you shall show this people all these words, and they shall tell you, Why has Yahweh pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against Yahweh our God?

¹⁰Hiai thu tengteng hiai mite kianga na hilh hun chiangin amau, Bangjiakin ahia TOUPAN ka tung ua hichi taka thil hoihlou a hon gen khiak? bang ahia ka thulimlouhna uh? TOUPA ka Pathian uh tunga ka thilhihkhelh bang ahia? a hon chih uleh,

¹¹Then you shall tell them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, says Yahweh, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshiped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;

¹¹hichiin na chi ding hi: Na pipute un a honpaisan jiak uh ahi, pathian dangte a delh ua, a na uh a sem ua, a bia ua, a honpai san ua, ka dan a jui kei ua;

¹²and you have done evil more than your fathers; for, behold, you walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that you don’t listen to me:

¹²Huan nouten na pipute uh sanga lekluain na hih ua, ngai un, mi chihin noumau lungtang gilou paupeng na jui ua, Kei non ngaikhe kei ua;

¹³therefore will I cast you forth out of this land into the land that you have not known, neither you nor your fathers; and there you shall serve other gods day and night; for I will show you no favor.

¹³Huaijiakin ka gam akipan noute leh na pipute un leng na theih ngeilouh uh gamah ka hondelhkhe ding, huaiah sun leh janin pathian dangte na na sem ding ua, ka honhehpih sin ngal keia, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi.

¹⁴Therefore behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that it shall no more be said, As Yahweh lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

¹⁴Huchiin, ngaidih ua, nite a hongtung sin hi, TOUPA thu pawtin a chi; Israel tate Aigupta gama kipana pikhepa a hin-a a hin sung, chita louin,

¹⁵but, As Yahweh lives, who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries where he had driven them. I will bring them again into their land that I gave to their fathers.

¹⁵Mal lam gam leh a delh jakna gam tengteng a kipana Israel tate pikhepa TOUPA a hina a hin sung, a chi zota ding uh. A pipute uh kianga ka piak, amau gam mahmahah lah ka pi kik nawn sin ngala.

¹⁶Behold, I will send for many fishermen, says Yahweh, and they shall fish them up; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks.

¹⁶Ngamanmi tampi ka thukhak dinga, amau a man ding ua; huai khitin gamvakmi tampi ka thukhak dinga, tang chiteng leh mual chitenga kipan amaute a beng khe ding ua, suangpi hengkala leng.

¹⁷For my eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from my face, neither is their iniquity concealed from my eyes.

¹⁷A omdan tengteng uah lah ka mit a tu nilouh ngala; keia kipan selin a om kei ua, a thulimlouhna uh leng ka mit akipan selin a om sam kei hi.

¹⁸First I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled my inheritance with their abominations.

¹⁸Huchiin a thil kihhuai luangte ua ka gam a hihnit u leh a kihhuaina ua ka goutan gam a dimsak jiak un a thulimlouhna uh leh a khelhna uh a zahnihin ka thuk ding, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi.

¹⁹Yahweh, my strength, and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, to you shall the nations come from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, vanity and things in which there is no profit.

¹⁹Aw TOUPA, ka hatna leh ka kulhpi, mangbat nia ka kihumbitna, kawlmong akipanin namte a hongpai ding ua, Ka pipute un juau, thil ginalou, punna nei lah hilou kia loungal bangmah gouluahin a neikei uh.

²⁰Shall a man make to himself gods, which yet are no gods?

²⁰Min pathiante a kibawlsak thei ua hia? huaite pathian ahi sam ua, a chi ding uh.Huaijiakin, ngaidih ua, tutungin amau ka theisak peuhmah ding; ka khut leh ka thilhihtheihna ka theisak ding, ka min TOUPA ahi chih a thei ding uh.

²¹Therefore behold, I will cause them to know, this once will I cause them to know my hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is Yahweh.

²¹Huaijiakin, ngaidih ua, tutungin amau ka theisak peuhmah ding; ka khut leh ka thilhihtheihna ka theisak ding, ka min TOUPA ahi chih a thei ding uh.
