Why have I seen it? They are dismayed and are turned backward; and their mighty ones are beaten down, and have fled in haste, and do not look back: terror is on every side," says YHWH.

Egypt rises up like the Nile, and his waters toss themselves like the rivers: and he says, 'I will rise up, I will cover the earth; I will destroy cities and its inhabitants.'

For that day is of the Lord, YHWH of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour and be satiate, and shall drink its fill of their blood; for the Lord, YHWH of hosts, has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Perath.
11 Egypt nu, oila, Gilead la cet lamtah thingpi te lo laeh. Si tah a poeyoek la na puh na puh sak tih na saibawnnah hae moenih.
Go up into Gilead, and take balm, virgin daughter of Egypt: in vain do you use many medicines; there is no healing for you.

Why are your strong ones swept away? They did not stand, because YHWH pushed them.

You daughter who dwells in Egypt, furnish yourself to go into captivity; for Memphis shall become a desolation, and shall be burnt up, without inhabitant.

Egypt is a very beautiful heifer; but a horsefly from the north is coming against her.

Also her hired men in the midst of her are like calves of the stall; for they also are turned back, they are fled away together, they did not stand: for the day of their calamity has come on them, the time of their visitation.
22 A ol te rhul a colh vaengkah bangla, caem rhoek a khong vaengkah bangla, om tih hai neh thing top bangla anih taengah thoeih uh ni.
The sound of it shall go like the serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as wood cutters.

The daughter of Egypt shall be disappointed; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north."

and 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; and afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old,' says YHWH.
27 Ka sal Jakob nang rhih boel lamtah Israel nang khaw rhihyawp boel saeh. Nang te khohla lamloh, na tiingan te a tamna khohmuen lamloh ka khang coeng ne. Te dongah Jakob ha mael vetih mong vetih mong pawn ni. Te vaengah lakueng voel mahpawh.
