¹The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is engraved on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of your altars;

¹Juda khelhna sik kolom leh suangmantam hiam muk zuma gelh ahi; a lungtang pek ua khuakin a om a, a maitam uahte leng;

²while their children remember their altars and their Asherim by the green trees on the high hills.

²Sing hing bul leh mualpawngte ah a tate un a maitamte uleh a Aserahte uh a theigige ngal ua.

³My mountain in the field, I will give your substance and all your treasures for a spoil, and your high places, because of sin, throughout all your borders.

³Aw nang gama ka tang, gam dung tawna na khelhna jiakin na sum leh na gou tengtengte, na mun sangte toh gallak dingin ka pe ding.

⁴You, even of yourself, shall discontinue from your heritage that I gave you; and I will cause you to serve your enemies in the land which you don’t know: for you have kindled a fire in my anger which shall burn forever.

⁴Huai na tantuam ka honpiak na tan dinga, na gam theih ngeihlouh ah na melmate na ka hon semsak ding, ka hehna mei, khantawna kang ding lah na mut kuangta ngal ua.

⁵Thus says Yahweh: Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from Yahweh.

⁵TOUPAN hichiin a chi: Mihing muanga, mihing ban hatna muanga, TOUPA lehngatsanna lungtang neimi hamse thuakin om hen.

⁶For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.

⁶Gamaia loupa keu gaw bang ahia, thil hoih pawt ding himhim a mu kei ding. Gamdai gamkei, chi gam, kuamah luah louh ah a teng zo ding hi.

⁷Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose trust Yahweh is.

⁷TOUPA muangmi, a lametpen TOUPA hi bel a nuamsa hi.

⁸For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

⁸Tui kianga sing phuh, lui geia zungkai, kho lum hongtung ding leng khawksa lou, a nahte hing gige ngal, khokhen kum khawksa lou, gah suan kikhelsak tuan lou bang ahi ding hi.

⁹The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?

⁹Lungtang bel thil tengteng sangin khemhat pen, hoihlou pumlum ahia; kuan ahia thei thei ding?

¹⁰I, Yahweh, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

¹⁰Kei TOUPA bel mi chih a om dan bang jel u leh a theilhih gah bang jela pe dinga lungsim enkhepa, lungtang enchianpa ka hi.

¹¹As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool.

¹¹Mi, kilawmloua honghausa bel vengkeng, amah tui loupi keuhsak dia opkhum bang ahi, a dam laiin amah a tuamsan ding ua, atawptawpin mi hai a honghi maimah ding.

¹²A glorious throne, set on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.

¹²Ka mun siangthou omna bel mangtutphah thupi mahmah, a tunga kipana tawisanga om ahi.

¹³Yahweh, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you shall be disappointed. Those who depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Yahweh, the spring of living waters.

¹³Aw TOUPA, Israel lamet, nang honpaisan mi tengteng a zahlak ding uh; kei hon lehngatsan mite leia leivuia gelh bang lel ahi ding uh, TOUPA, hinna tuikhuk pen lah a paisanta ngal ua.

¹⁴Heal me, O Yahweh, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for you are my praise.

¹⁴Aw TOUPA, honhihdam inla, huchiin ka dam dinga, honhumbit lechin, huchiin ka bit ding, ka phat gige lah na hi ngala.

¹⁵Behold, they tell me, Where is the word of Yahweh? let it come now.

¹⁵Ngaiin, ka kiangah, TOUPA thu koiah? hongtung leh ake, a chi sek uh.

¹⁶As for me, I have not hurried from being a shepherd after you; neither have I desired the woeful day; you know: that which came out of my lips was before your face.

¹⁶Thil hoihlou tungsak ding ka honphut keia, siatna ni lah ka deih het kei chih na thei hi; ka kama thu pawt lah na mai maa om ahi hi.

¹⁷Don’t be a terror to me: you are my refuge in the day of evil.

¹⁷Kei ding in kihtakhuai hi kenla, mangbat nia ka kihumbitna na hi.

¹⁸Let them be disappointed who persecute me, but let not me be disappointed; let them be dismayed, but don’t let me be dismayed; bring on them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.

¹⁸Honsimmohte zahlak uhenla, kei bel zahlak kei leng; amau bel lungjing uhenla, kei bel lungjing kei leng; mangbat ni a tunguah tun inla, nakpiin amau hih mangin.

¹⁹Thus said Yahweh to me: Go, and stand in the gate of the children of the people, through which the kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;

¹⁹TOUPAN ka kiangah hichiin a chi: Kuan inla, Juda kumpipate lutna sek leh pawtna sek, mipite tate kongpi ah leh Jerusalem konpite tengteng ah va ding inla;

²⁰and tell them, Hear the word of Yahweh, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:

²⁰Huan a kiang uah, Nou Juda kumpipate, Juda tengtengte, Jerusalema teeng tengteng hiai kongpi khawnga lut sekte aw, TOUPA thu ngaikhia un.

²¹Thus says Yahweh, Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;

²¹TOUPAN hichiin a chi hi: Na hinna uh pilvang mahmah dih ua, khawlniin puak neikei unla, Jerusalem kulh kongpi ah lutpih sam kei un.

²²neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath day holy, neither do any work: but make the Sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.

²²Huan, khawlniin na in ua kipan puak na pokhe ding uh ahi keia, na himhim na sem ding uh ahi sam kei; na pipute uh kiang a ka thu piak bangin khawlni na tang siang thou zo ding uhi.

²³But they didn’t listen, neither turn their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction.

²³Amau jaw a ngaikhe kei ua, bil a doh kei ua; thununna a jak ua a tan louhna ding un a kigenhaksak jaw uhi.

²⁴It shall happen, if you diligently listen to me, says Yahweh, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but to make the Sabbath day holy, to do no work therein;

²⁴Huan, TOUPA thu pawtin hichiin a chi: Khawksa taka na honngaihkhiak ua, khawlnia hiai khopia kongpia thil na puaklut louh ua,

²⁵then shall there enter in by the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city shall remain forever.

²⁵Na himhim na sep louh ua khawlni na tan siangthou uleh, hiai khopi kongpi ah leh heutute, David tutphaha tu dingte kangtalaite leh sakolte ah tuangin a honglut ding ua, amau leh a miliante uh Juda leh Jerusalema tengte toh; huchiin hiai khopi ah mi a teng denta ding uh.

²⁶They shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowland, and from the hill country, and from the South, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meal offerings, and frankincense, and bringing sacrifices of thanksgiving, to the house of Yahweh.

²⁶Juda khopi leh Jerusalem kim akipan, Benjamin gam akipan, gamniam gam akipan, tanggam a kipan leh Sim gam akipain a hongpai ding ua, halmang thillat leh kithoihnate buh leh bal thillat leh gimlimte, kipahna kithoihnate TOUPA in ah a hontawi ding uh.Himahleh khawlni tang siangthou ding leh khawlnia puak neilouh leh Jerusalem kulh kongpia lutpih louh ding thu ah na honngaihkhiak kei ua leh a kulh kongpite ah mei ka pawtsak dinga, Jerusalem kumpipa inte a kang bei dinga, a mit kei ding.

²⁷But if you will not listen to me to make the Sabbath day holy, and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.

²⁷Himahleh khawlni tang siangthou ding leh khawlnia puak neilouh leh Jerusalem kulh kongpia lutpih louh ding thu ah na honngaihkhiak kei ua leh a kulh kongpite ah mei ka pawtsak dinga, Jerusalem kumpipa inte a kang bei dinga, a mit kei ding.
