¹Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in the house of Yahweh, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.

¹Huan Immer tapa, TOUPA ina heutupa pen, siampu Pashurin Jeremiain huai thute a gen chih a naja a.

²Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of Yahweh.

²Huchiin Pashurin jawlnei Jeremia a khena, TOUPA ina Benjamin Kongpi saknunga koltanna ah a tangsaka.

³It happened on the next day, that Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, Yahweh has not called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.

³A jingin Pashurin Jeremia a khahkhia a, huan Jeremiain a kiangah. TOUPAN na min dingin Pashur a chi kei hi, Mager-missabib a honchi jaw hi.

⁴For thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself, and to all your friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes shall see it; and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon, and shall kill them with the sword.

⁴TOUPAN lah hichiin a chi ngala: Ngai in, nanga ding leh na lawmte tengteng a dingin kihtakin ka honbawl ding: amau a melmate uh namsauin a puk ding ua, nang jaw na mitin na en lel ding. Judate tengteng Babulon kumpipa khut ah ka pe vek ding: aman Babulon ah salin a pi dinga, namsauin a that ding hi.

⁵Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all the precious things of it, yes, all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies; and they shall make them a prey, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.

⁵Huai banah, khopi hauhna tengteng, a sepkhiak tengteng, a thil manpha tengteng leh Juda kumpipate gou tengteng a melmate uh khut ah ka pe dinga, amau a lik ding ua, a man ding ua, Babulon ah a pi ding uh.

⁶You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house shall go into captivity; and you shall come to Babylon, and there you shall die, and there you shall be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely.

⁶Huan, nang Pashur, na in sunga om tengtengte toh sal ah na tang ding ua; Babulon ah na pai tei ding; huai ah na si dinga, huaiah vuiin na om dinga, nang leh na lawm juau thu na hilhsekte tengteng toh, a chi a.

⁷Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded; you are stronger than I, and have prevailed: I am become a laughing-stock all the day, every one mocks me.

⁷Aw TOUPA, nang non nakhema, khema om keita ve, nang jaw kei sangin na hata, non zoua; nitumin nuihsat ka hita, mi kuapeuhin a honnuih san uhi.

⁸For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, Violence and destruction! because the word of Yahweh is made a reproach to me, and a derision, all the day.

⁸Thu ka gen peuhmah chiangin, ka kikou khiaa, Hiamgamna leh siatna, chiin ka kikou; TOUPA thu bel kei adingin, nituma dem leh musit lohna kia ahi.

⁹If I say, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with forbearing, and I can’t.

⁹Amah ka kan kei dinga, a minin leng thu ka gen nawn sam kei ding, chi mahleng, ka guh sunga mei kang kikhumkhin bang maiin ka lungtang sungah lah a om ngal naka, ka pai kinken zou keia, ka pha zou mahmah kei hi.

¹⁰For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side. Denounce, and we will denounce him, say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall; perhaps he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.

¹⁰Mi tampite phun gu ka ja, kil chih a lauhuai a om, Hek unla, i hek khawm ding uh, chiin. Ka lawmte ka puk chiang tang gige ten, Khemin a om dia, i zou ding, a tungah i phu uh i la ding, a chi ua.

¹¹But Yahweh is with me as an awesome mighty one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail; they shall be utterly disappointed, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which shall never be forgotten.

¹¹Himahleh TOUPA mihangsan kihtakhuai mahmah bangin ka kiangah a oma, a honsimmohte a puk ding ua, honzou kei ding uh. Zahlaktakin a om ding ua, a lohchin sin louh jiak un. Khantawna a minsiatna uh mangngilhin a om kei ding.

¹²But, Yahweh of Armies, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them; for to you have I revealed my cause.

¹²Aw sepaihte TOUPA, mi diktatte enchianpa, lungtang leh lungsim mu paisuak sekpa, a tung ua na phulak honmusak dih ve, ka tungtang thu lah ka honkemsakta ngala.

¹³Sing to Yahweh, praise Yahweh; for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.

¹³TOUPA kiangah lasa unla, TOUPA phat un; thil gilou hihmite khut akipan panpih deihte hinna lah a humbit ngala.

¹⁴Cursed is the day in which I was born: don’t let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.

¹⁴Ka piankhiak ni hamse thuakin om hen, ka nn a honpiaksak ni vualjawlin om dah hen.

¹⁵Cursed is the man who brought news to my father, saying, A boy is born to you; making him very glad.

¹⁵Ka pa kianga, Tapa na neita hi, chih thu hontuna, hongkipaksakmi tak hamse thuakin om hen.

¹⁶Let that man be as the cities which Yahweh overthrew, and didn’t repent: and let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime;

¹⁶Huai mi lah, TOUPAN hehpih het loua a sukgawp khuate bangin om hen, jingsang lamin kikou husa ja henla, sun ahih chiangin galdou husa;

¹⁷because he didn’t kill me from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.

¹⁷Sul sunga a honhihlup louh jiakin; huchi hihle bel ka nu ka han hi mai ding hia, a sulin khantawna honpai mai ding hi ven.Bangdia sul akipan hongpawt chitchiat ka hia, semgim leh lungkhama om dinga zahlak mawngmawnga ka damsung nite zang dingin?

¹⁸Why came I forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?

¹⁸Bangdia sul akipan hongpawt chitchiat ka hia, semgim leh lungkhama om dinga zahlak mawngmawnga ka damsung nite zang dingin?
