1 Gentel kawng pongah tahmaa Jeremiah khaeah angzo Angraeng ih lok loe;
The LORD’s word which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.

Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah.
3 misa angvaenghaih hoi amthoep oh loe, misatuk hanah amsak oh!
“Prepare the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle!
4 Nangcae hrang angthueng kaminawk, hrangnawk to misatuk pakaahaih hoiah khuk oh, a nuiah angthueng oh loe sum lumuek angmuek hoiah caeh oh; tayaenawk to taak oh loe, misatuk pakaahaih to angkhuk oh.
Harness the horses, and get up, you horsemen, and stand up with your helmets. Polish the spears, put on the coats of mail.
5 Nihcae loe zit o moe, hnukbang ah amlaem o let boeh, tiah ka hnuk coek boeh; thacak nihcae ih misatuh kaminawk loe thazok o boeh, hnukbang angqoi ai ah a cawnh o boih boeh; ahnuk ahma zithaih to oh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
Why have I seen it? They are dismayed and are turned backward. Their mighty ones are beaten down, have fled in haste, and don’t look back. Terror is on every side,” says the LORD.
6 Angtawt kaloe kaminawk doeh cawnh patok o moe, thacak kaminawk doeh loih o ai; nihcae loe aluek bang Euphrate vapui taengah amthlaek o ueloe, amtimh o tih.
“Don’t let the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape. In the north by the river Euphrates they have stumbled and fallen.
7 Tui baktiah angthawk moe, tuiphu baktiah angphui tahang kami loe mi aa?
“Who is this who rises up like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge?
8 Izip loe tui baktiah kangthawk, vapui tuiphunawk baktiah longh; anih mah ka caeh tahang moe, long hae ka khuk khoep han; to ah kaom vangpui hoi kaminawk to kam rosak han, tiah thuih.
Egypt rises up like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge. He says, ‘I will rise up. I will cover the earth. I will destroy cities and its inhabitants.’
9 Aw hrangnawk, daw o tahang ah! Hrang lakoknawk tha hoi cawn oh! Thacak misatuh kaminawk, misatuk pakaahaih kasin, Ethiopia kaminawk hoi Libya kaminawk, misa kah hanah kalii kasin, Lydia kaminawk to tacawt o nasoe.
Go up, you horses! Rage, you chariots! Let the mighty men go out: Cush and Put, who handle the shield; and the Ludim, who handle and bend the bow.
10 Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Sithaw mah misanawk nuiah lu lakhaih ni, anih ih misanawk lu lakhaih niah oh baktih toengah, zok amhah moe, athii mah paqui ai karoek to nihcae to sumsen mah caa tih; misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw han angbawnhaih loe aluek bang prae Euphrates vapui taengah oh.
For that day is of the Lord, GOD of Armies, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge himself of his adversaries. The sword will devour and be satiated, and will drink its fill of their blood; for the Lord, GOD of Armies, has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
11 Aw tangla cuem, Izip canu, Gilead ah caeh tahang ah loe, ngantuihaih tasi to la ah; nang loe tasi nang nok parai boeh e, na hoih thai ai; nang han ngantuihaih om ai boeh.
Go up into Gilead, and take balm, virgin daughter of Egypt. You use many medicines in vain. There is no healing for you.
12 Azat na tonghaih prae boih mah thaih o boeh, na qahhaih lok doeh long pum ah koi boeh; thacak nang ih misatuh kami loe amthaek moe, maeto pacoeng maeto nuiah nawnto amtim hoi hmaek boeh, tiah a thuih.
The nations have heard of your shame, and the earth is full of your cry; for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty, they both fall together.”
13 Izip prae tuk hanah Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchanezzar kawbangmaw angzo tih, tiah tahmaa Jeremiah khaeah Angraeng mah thuih ih lok loe;
The word that the LORD spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon should come and strike the land of Egypt:
14 na taengah kaom kaminawk to sumsen hoiah hum tih, to pongah acoehaih hoiah oh o moe, kacakah angdoet o hanah, Izip prae ah thui paeh; Migdol, Noph hoi Tahpanhes ah doeh thui pae oh.
“Declare in Egypt, publish in Migdol, and publish in Memphis and in Tahpanhes; say, ‘Stand up, and prepare, for the sword has devoured around you.’
15 Tipongah maw misahoih kaminawk to amtimh o? Angraeng mah nihcae to nuih pongah nihcae loe angdoe o thai ai.
Why are your strong ones swept away? They didn’t stand, because the LORD pushed them.
16 Anih mah pop parai kaminawk to amthaeksak, ue, kaminawk loe maeto pacoeng maeto nuiah amtimh o; to naah nihcae mah, Angthawk oh, misa mah sumsen hoiah pacaekthlaek pongah, aimah acaeng kaminawk hoi aimah prae ah amlaem o let si, tiah thuih o.
He made many to stumble. Yes, they fell on one another. They said, ‘Arise! Let’s go again to our own people, and to the land of our birth, from the oppressing sword.’
17 To ahmuen ah nihcae mah, Izip siangpahrang Faro loe lok cing ni; anih mah atue laemsak boih boeh, tiah hang o.
They cried there, ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he has let the appointed time pass by.’
18 Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, tiah ahmin kaom, Siangpahrang mah, Kai loe hing tangtang pongah, anih loe maenawk thungah Tabor mae baktih, tuipui taeng ih Karmel mae baktiah, angzo o tih.
“As I live,” says the King, whose name is the LORD of Armies, “surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so he will come.
19 Izip prae ah kaom canu nang, misong ah caeh hanah, nangmah ih hmuennawk to taoeng ah, Noph vangpui loe kami khosak han ai ah phrae tih boeh.
You daughter who dwells in Egypt, furnish yourself to go into captivity; for Memphis will become a desolation, and will be burned up, without inhabitant.
20 Izip loe maitaw tala baktiah kranghoih, toe amrohaih loe aluek bang hoiah angzoh.
“Egypt is a very beautiful heifer; but destruction out of the north has come. It has come.
21 Anih mah thlai ih kaminawk loe angmah salakah kathawk parai maitaw caa baktiah oh o; toe nihcae amrohaih atue, nihcae thuitaekhaih atue to phak boeh pongah, angdoe o thai ai, hnuk angnawn o moe, nawnto a cawnh o.
Also her hired men in the middle of her are like calves of the stall, for they also are turned back. They have fled away together. They didn’t stand, for the day of their calamity has come on them, the time of their visitation.
22 Caka hoi thing pakhruk han kacaeh kaminawk baktiah, misanawk mah caka to sin o ueloe, anih tuk hanah angzo o tih, to naah nang ih misatuh kaminawk ih lok loe pahui sae lok baktiah ni om tih.
Its sound will go like the serpent, for they will march with an army, and come against her with axes, as wood cutters.
23 Nihcae loe kroek laek ai pakhuhnawk pongah doeh pop o kue pongah, anih ih kathah parai thingnawk to pakhruh pae o boih tih.
They will cut down her forest,” says the LORD, “though it can’t be searched; because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.
24 Izip canu loe azathaih tongh ueloe, aluek bang kaminawk ban ah paek tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
The daughter of Egypt will be disappointed; she will be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.”
25 Misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah, Khenah, No vangpui ah kaom Amon kaminawk, Faro siangpahrang hoi Izip kaminawk ih sithawnawk, nihcae ih siangpahrangnawk, Faro siangpahrang nuiah amha kaminawk to ka thuitaek boih han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih;
The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods and her kings, even Pharaoh, and those who trust in him.
26 nihcae hinghaih pakrong kaminawk to Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar hoi a tamnanawk ih ban ah ka paek han; hnukkhuem ah, Izip prae loe canghnii ih baktiah kaminawk om o let tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants. Afterwards it will be inhabited, as in the days of old,” says the LORD.
27 Toe Aw ka tamna Jakob, zii hmah; Aw Israel, tasoeh hmah; khenah, angthla parai prae hoiah nang to kang pahlong moe, na caanawk doeh misong ah ohhaih prae thung hoiah ka pahlong han; Jakob acaeng loe amlaem let ueloe, misa zithaih om mak ai, nihcae loe monghaih hoiah khosah o tih boeh.
“But don’t you be afraid, Jacob my servant. Don’t be dismayed, Israel; for, behold, I will save you from afar, and your offspring from the land of their captivity. Jacob will return, and will be quiet and at ease. No one will make him afraid.
28 Aw ka tamna Jakob, zii hmah, nang khaeah ka oh; nangcae kang haehsak phanghaih prae to ka phraek boih langlacadoeh, nangcae loe kam rosak boih mak ai; kamsoem loklam ah ni kang thuitaek o han; toe thuitaek ai ah kang suem o sut mak ai, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
Don’t be afraid, O Jacob my servant,” says the LORD, “for I am with you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven 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.”
