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

¹Jeremia kiangah TOUPA akipan thu hongtung,

²Thus speaks Yahweh, the God of Israel, saying, Write all the words that I have spoken to you in a book.

²TOUPA Israel Pathianin hichiin a chi, Na Kianga thu ka gen tengteng laibu ah gelh in, chiin.

³For, behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will turn again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, says Yahweh; and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

³Ngai in, Israel leh Juda, ka mite omdan ka kikhelsakna ding nite a hongtung lellel hi; gam, a pipute uh kianga ka piak ah ka pi kik nawn dinga, a luahta ding uh, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi, chiin TOUPAN a chi.

⁴These are the words that Yahweh spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

⁴Huan, Juda leh Israel tungtang thua TOUPA thu gente hiaite ahi.

⁵For thus says Yahweh: We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.

⁵TOUPAN hichiin a chi ahi: Lauthawngna husa ka ja ua, launa kikou husa, muanna hi louin.

⁶Ask now, and see whether a man does travail with child: why do I see every man with his hands on his waist, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?

⁶Dong vial vial unla, en vialvial dih ia, pasalin nau a vei ngei uhia? Bangdia numei nauvei bang jena, pasal a tai uh a dep chiat ua, a melte uh a hongmolh khit?

⁷Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.

⁷Maijen aw! Huai ni thupi hina mai e, a kibatpih mahmah a om kei, Jakob mangbat ni ahi mah ngut hi, himahleh hotkhiakin a im himhim ding.

⁸It shall come to pass in that day, says Yahweh of Armies, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds; and strangers shall no more make him their bondservant;

⁸Huan, huai niin hichi ahi dinga, a hakkol puak ka hihtan dinga, a khau leng ka kitatsak ding: pautuam miten amah nasempa dingin a zang ngei nawn kei ding uh.

⁹but they shall serve Yahweh their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to them.

⁹TOUPA a Pathian uh leh a kumpipa uh dinga ka tungding ding David na a sem zo ding uh.

¹⁰Therefore don’t you be afraid, O Jacob my servant, says Yahweh; neither be dismayed, Israel: for, behold, I will save you from afar, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.

¹⁰Huaiziakin, aw ka nasempa Jakob, Lau het ken aw, Israel lunglel hetken, chih TOUPA thupawt ahi. Ngaiin, gamla pia kipanin ka honghunkhe dinga, a saltanna ua kipan na suante ngei, huan Jakob a kik nawn dinga, kuamahin a lausak ngei nawn kei ding uh.

¹¹For I am with you, says Yahweh, to save you: for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered you, but I will not make a full end of you; but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.

¹¹Nang a honhun dingin na kiangah lah ka om gige ngala, kahondalhsakna nam tengteng, ka beisak dinga, nang bel neisak louin: a hun lelin ka hon gawt dinga, gawt louhin na pawt het kei ding, chih TOUPA thu pawt ahi.

¹²For thus says Yahweh, Your hurt is incurable, and your wound grievous.

¹²TOUPAN lah hichiin a chi ngala, Na liamna hihdam theih ahi keia, na meima a thupi hi.

¹³There is none to plead your cause, that you may be bound up: you have no healing medicines.

¹³Nang honpanpih ding a om kei ua, na damna ding damdawi a om sam kei hi.

¹⁴All your lovers have forgotten you; they don’t seek you: for I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins were increased.

¹⁴Nang honitten a honmanghilhta ua, honlimsakta kei uhi: melma liamnain ka honliamsak a, dawm lou hialin ka hon gawt hi, na thulimlouhna a thupi a, na thil hih giloute a pun jiakin.

¹⁵Why do you cry for your hurt? Your pain is incurable: for the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins were increased, I have done these things to you.

¹⁵Bangdia na liamziak a kap nahia? Na liamna hihdam theih ahi kei, na thulimlouhna a thupi a, na thilhih khelhte a pun ziakin, hiai thilte na tunga hih ka hi.

¹⁶Therefore all those who devour you shall be devoured; and all your adversaries, everyone of them, shall go into captivity; and those who despoil you shall be a spoil, and all who prey on you will I give for a prey.

¹⁶Himahleh nang honne gaite tengteng, nekgaihin a om ding ua, na melmate teng teng mi chih, sal dia piin a om ding uh, nang honlokte lohin a om ding ua, nang hon gallakte dingin ka pe ding hi.

¹⁷For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh; because they have called you an outcast, saying, It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.

¹⁷Ka hondamtheisak nawn dinga, na liamna tengteng ka hihdam ding; TOUPA thu pawtin a chi; Delhkhiak, a honchi ua, Kuamah limsaklouh Zion ahi, a honchih jiak un.

¹⁸Thus says Yahweh: Behold, I will turn again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have compassion on his dwelling places; and the city shall be built on its own hill, and the palace shall be inhabited in its own way.

¹⁸TOUPAN hichiin a chi, Ngaiin, Jakob puanin saltangte ka lehhei dinga, a tenna munte ka hehpih dinga, a khopi a omna mual ngeiah lam ahi dinga, a kupipa in a omdan ngeiin a ding nawn ding.

¹⁹Out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of those who make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

¹⁹Kipahthu genna leh nuamsakna husa, huaite akipanin a hongpawtkhe ding. A mi ka pungsak dinga, a tawm kei ding uh amau ka hihthupi dinga, a neu kei ding uh.

²⁰Their children also shall be as before, and their congregation shall be established before me; and I will punish all who oppress them.

²⁰A tate uh leng nidanglai bangin a om ding ua, ka maah a pungkhawm un a kip ding ua; amaute nuaisiahmite peuhmah ka gawt ding hi.

²¹Their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from their midst; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach to me: for who is he who has had boldness to approach to me? says Yahweh.

²¹A heutupa uh amau mi mah ahi dinga, a vaihawmpa uh amau laka hongpawt mah ahi ding; hon naih dinga, amah ka bawl dia, amau a honnaih ding; kua ahia amah thua honnaih ngam ding? Chih TOUPA thupawt ahi.

²²You shall be my people, and I will be your God.

²²Huan ka mite na hi ding ua, kei na Pathian uh ka hi ding.

²³Behold, the storm of Yahweh, his wrath, has gone forth, a sweeping storm: it shall burst on the head of the wicked.

²³Ngai un, TOUPA huihpi, a hehna huihpi hat mah mah a pawtkheta: mi giloute lu a nuai ek ding.A lungtang tupnate a tagtuna a hih khit masiah, TOUPA hehna lauhuai mahmah a kikhel kei ding: ni nanungte ah na honthei siam ding uh.

²⁴The fierce anger of Yahweh will not return, until he has executed, and until he has performed the intentions of his heart. In the latter days you will understand it.

²⁴A lungtang tupnate a tagtuna a hih khit masiah, TOUPA hehna lauhuai mahmah a kikhel kei ding: ni nanungte ah na honthei siam ding uh.
