Jeremiah 49
1 BOEIPA loh Ammon ca rhoek ham he ni a thui. Israel te a ca om pawt tih anih aka pang khaw a om moenih a? Balae tih Gad Milkom loh a huul tih a khopuei kah a pilnam kho a sak.
About the people of Ammon, Yahweh says this, “Does Israel have no children? Is there no one to inherit anything in Israel? Why does Molech occupy Gad, and his people live in its cities?
2 Te dongah BOEIPA kah olphong khohnin ha pawk tangloeng coeng he. Ammon koca Rabbah ah caemtloek tamlung ka yaak coeng tih khopong imrhong la poeh ni. A tanu te hmai neh a hlup uh ni. Amah aka huul rhoek te Israel loh koep a huul ni. He tah BOEIPA long ni a thui.
So look, the days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when I will sound the signal for battle against Rabbah among the people of Ammon, so it will become a deserted heap and its villages will be set on fire. For Israel will possess those who possessed him,” says Yahweh.
3 Ai te a rhoelrhak dongah Heshbon nang rhung laeh. Rabbah nu rhoek pang uh lamtah tlamhni vah laeh. Rhaengsae lamtah tanglung khuiah tinghil laeh. Milkom neh a khosoih rhoek, a mangpa khaw vangsawn la rhenten cet ni.
“Howl in lament, Heshbon, for Ai will be devastated! Shout out, daughters of Rabbah! Put on sackcloth. Lament and run about in futility, for Molech is going into captivity, together with his priests and leaders.
4 Hnukmael nu aw, balae tih tuikol te na yan? na tuikol khaw long coeng te. A thakvoh dongah pangtung ni, “Unim kai taengla aka pawk eh?” a ti.
Why do you brag about your valleys, your valleys that are so fruitful, faithless daughter? you who trust in your wealth and say, 'Who will come against me?'
5 Na kaepvai boeih lamkah birhihnah te kai loh nang soah ka thoeng sak ni. He tah ka Boeipa caempuei Yahovah kah olphong ni. Hlang loh a mikhmuh ah a heh tih aka yong te khaw coi mahpawh.
See, I am about to bring terror on you—this is the declaration of Lord Yahweh of hosts— this terror will come from all those who surround you. Each one of you will be scattered before it. There will be no one to gather those running away.
6 Tedae he phoeiah ni Ammon ca rhoek khuikah thongtla te ka mael puei eh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
But after this I will restore the fortunes of the people of Ammon—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
7 Edom kawng he caempuei BOEIPA loh a thui. Teman ah cueihnah om voel pawt nim? Aka yakming lamkah cilsuep he bing tih amih kah cueihnah khaw awk aih.
About Edom, Yahweh of hosts says this, “Is there no longer any wisdom to be found in Teman? Has good advice disappeared from those who have understanding? Has their wisdom become corrupted?
8 Dedan khosa rhoek te thuh ham rhaelrham lamtah muelh hoihaeng uh laeh. Anih ka cawh tue ah tah Esau kah rhainah te anih soah ka thoeng sak ni.
Flee! Turn back! Stay in holes in the ground, inhabitants of Dedan. For I am bringing the disaster of Esau on him at the time that I punish him.
9 Misur ka bit loh na taengla ha pawk koinih a yoep koi khaw paih mahpawh. Hlanghuen long khaw khoyin ah a ngaih te ni a phae eh.
If grape harvesters came to you, would they not leave a little bit behind? If thieves came in the night, would they not steal only as much as they wanted?
10 Tedae Esau te ka baeh vetih a huephael te ka hliphen pah ni. Te vaengah thuh thai pawt vetih a tiingan neh, a manuca neh a imben khaw a rhoelrhak vetih amah khaw om mahpawh.
But I have stripped Esau bare. I have revealed his hiding places. So he will not be able to hide himself. His children, his brothers, and his neighbors are destroyed, and he is gone.
11 Na cadah rhoek te hnoo lamtah ka hing sak bitni. Te phoeiah na nuhmai ni kai dongah aka pangtung thai.
Leave your orphans behind. I will take care of their lives, and your widows can trust in me.”
12 BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Amih kah tiktamnah mueh a mam ham aih ke. Boengloeng dongah a mam la a mam uh mai. Te dongah nang te m'hmil khaw m'hmil venim? M'hmil pawt vetih na mam rhoe na mam ni.
For Yahweh says this, “See, those who did not deserve it must certainly drink some of the cup. Do you yourself think you will go without punishment? You will not, for you will certainly drink.
13 BOEIPA kah olphong neh kamah loh ka toemngam coeng. Bozrah te imsuep la, kokhahnah la, kholing la, rhunkhuennah la om ni. A khopuei boeih te kumhal due imrhong la om ni.
For I have sworn by myself—this is Yahweh's declaration—that Bozrah will become a horror, a disgrace, a devastation, and an object for cursing. All of its cities will become devastations forever.
14 Olthang te BOEIPA taeng lamloh ka yaak coeng. Laipai khaw namtom taengah ka tueih coeng. Coi uh thae lamtah anih te paan uh laeh. Te phoeiah caemtloek la thoo uh laeh.
I have heard news from Yahweh, and a messenger has been sent out to the nations, 'Gather together and attack her. Get ready for battle.'
15 Nang te namtom taengah tanoe neh hlang taengkah a hnaep la kang khueh ni ne.
“For see, I have made you small compared to the other nations, despised by people.
16 Na mueipuelnah loh nang n'rhaithi coeng. Na lungbuei althanah neh thaelrhaep thaelpang ah aka om. Hmuensang som te na loh tihatha bangla na bu na sang sak cakhaw te lamloh nang te kan suntlak sak ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
As for your fearsomeness, your heart's pride has deceived you, inhabitants of places on the cliff, you who have occupied the highest hills so that you may make your nest high like an eagle. I will bring you down from there—this is Yahweh's declaration.
17 Edom te imsuep la om vetih aka pah boeih khaw a taengah pong uh ni. Te vaengah a hmasoe cungkuem neh hlip ni.
Edom will become a horror to everyone passing by it. Every such person will tremble and hiss because all of its disasters.
18 Sodom, Gomorrah neh a imben te imrhong- la om coeng. BOEIPA loh, “A khuiah hlang loh khosa pawt vetih hlang capa khaw bakuep mahpawh,” a ti.
Like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbors,” says Yahweh, “no one will live there; no person will stay there.
19 Sathueng bangla Jordan mingthennah lamloh tolkhoeng puei la cet coeng ke. Anih so lamloh ka hoep uh vetih ka cungpoeh ni. Anih te coelh ham unim ka khueh eh? Kamah bang he unim, unim kai aka tuentah? Ka mikhmuh ah pai tih boiva aka dawn te unim?
See, he will go up like a lion from the forests of the Jordan to the green pasturelands. For I will quickly make Edom run from it, and I will put someone who will be chosen in charge of it. For who is like me, and who will summon me? What shepherd is able to resist me?”
20 Te dongah BOEIPA loh Edom ham a uen cilsuep neh Teman khosa taengah a moeh a kopoek te hnatun uh. Boiva ca a koeng pah pawt atah a tolkhoeng khaw amih kongah pong mahpawt nim?
“So listen to the plans that Yahweh has decided against Edom, the plans that he has formed against the inhabitants of Teman. They will certainly be dragged away, even the smallest flock. Their pasturelands will be turned into ruined places.
21 Amih kah cungku ol ah diklai he hinghuen vetih pangngawlnah ol te carhaek tuipuei duela a yaak uh ni.
At the sound of their falling the earth shakes. The sound of distressed shouts is heard at the Sea of Reeds.
22 Thahum bangla luei vetih tih ding ni ne. Te vaengah Bozrah te a phae a khuk thil ni. Te khohnin ah tah Edom hlangrhalh kah lungbuei te puencak nu kah lungbuei bangla om ni.
See, someone will attack like an eagle, and swoop down and spread his wings over Bozrah. Then on that day, the hearts of Edom's soldiers will become like the heart of a woman in birth labor.”
23 Damasku ham olthang thae a yaak dongah Khamath neh Arpad yak coeng. Tuipuei mawnnah dongah paci tih mong thai pawh.
About Damascus: “Hamath and Arpad will be ashamed, for they have heard news of disaster. They melt away! They become as troubled as the sea, which cannot stay calm.
24 Damasku te tahah tih rhaelrham ham a mael hatah lueihlaknah loh a cuuk thil. Citcai dongah ca-om nu bangla tharhui loh a doek.
Damascus has become very weak. It turns away to flee; terror seizes it. Distress and pain seize it, like the pain of a woman giving birth.
25 Ka omthennah khorha koehnah aih he, balae tih khopuei koehnah he a toeng pawh.
How has the city of praise not been forsaken, the town of my joy?
26 Te dongah a toltung ah a tongpang rhoek cungku uh vetih caemtloek hlang boeih khaw te khohnin ah kuemsuem uh ni. Hetah caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
Therefore its young men will fall in its plazas, and all the fighting men will perish on that day—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts.”
27 Damasku vongtung te hmai ka hlup vetih Benhadad impuei khaw a hlawp ni.
“For I will light a fire on the wall of Damascus, and it will devour the strongholds of Ben Hadad.”
28 Nebukhanezar, Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh a ngawn Kedar neh Hazor ram kawng khaw BOEIPA loh a thui. Thoo lamtah Kedar te paan laeh, khothoeng ca rhoek ke rhoelrhak laeh.
About Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, Yahweh says this to Nebuchadnezzar (now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon was going to attack these places): “Arise and attack Kedar and destroy those people of the east.
29 A dap neh a boiva te a rhawt pa uh ni. A himbaiyan neh a hnopai boeih khaw, amamih ham a kalauk neh a phueih uh vetih amih te a kaepvai ah rhihnah neh a doek uh ni.
Their tents and their flocks will be taken, along with their tent curtains and all of their equipment; their camels will be led away from them, and men will shout to them, “Terror is on every side!”
30 Hazor khosak rhoek loh khosak ham rhaelrham lamtah muelh rhaehba khing mai laeh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar te nang soah a cilsuep a uen tih a kopoek neh nang soah amih te a moeh.
Flee! Wander far away! Stay in holes in the ground, inhabitants of Hazor—this is Yahweh's declaration— for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has devised a plan against you. Flee! Turn back!
31 Thoo uh lamtah thayoeituipan neh ngaikhuek la aka om namtom te paan uh laeh. Amah bueng te kho a sak uh dongah thohkhaih om pawt tih thohkalh khaw om pawh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
Arise! Attack the nation at ease, that lives in safety,” says Yahweh. “They have no gates or bars in them, and its people live by themselves.
32 A kalauk te maeh la, a boiva boeih te kutbuem la poeh ni. Baengki aka kuet khaw khohli cungkuem taengah ka thaek ni. Amih kah rhainah te kaepvai rhalvangan boeih lamloh ka thoeng sak ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
For their camels will become plunder, and the abundance of their property will become war plunder. Then I will scatter to every wind those who cut the corners of their hair, and I will bring disaster on them from every side—this is Yahweh's declaration.
33 Hazor khaw kumhal kah khopong pongui kah khuirhung la poeh ni. Teah te hlang loh khosa pawt vetih a khuiah hlang capa khaw bakuep mahpawh.
Hazor will become a lair of jackals, a permanent wasteland. No one will live there; no human being will stay there.”
34 Judah manghai Zedekiah a ram a tongcuek vaengah Elam ham BOEIPA ol te tonghma Jeremiah taengla ha pawk.
This is the word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah the prophet about Elam. This happened at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, and he said,
35 “Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Elam kah a thayung thamal vueilue lii te ka khaem coeng he.
“Yahweh of hosts says this: See, I am about to break the bowmen of Elam, the main part of their power.
36 Vaan khobawt pali lamkah khohli pali te Elam taengla ka khuen ni. Te khohli cungkuem taengla amih te ka thaek vetih namtom hmuen khaw om mahpawh. Te kah te Elam khuiah Elam kah a heh long pataeng a pha moenih.
For I will bring the four winds from the four corners of the heavens, and I will scatter the people of Elam to all of those winds. There is no nation to which those scattered from Elam will not go.
37 Elam te a thunkha rhoek kah mikhmuh neh a hinglu aka toem rhoek mikhmuh ah ka rhihyawp sak ni. Ka thintoek thinsa te amih soah yoethae la ka thoeng sak ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Amih ka khah duela amih hnukah cunghang neh ka tueih ni.
So I will shatter Elam before their enemies and before those who seek their lives. for I will bring disaster against them, the fury of my wrath—this is Yahweh's declaration— and I will send the sword after them until I have annihilated them.
38 Elam ah ka ngolkhoel ka hol vetih te lamkah manghai neh mangpa rhoek te ka milh sak ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
Then I will put my throne in Elam and will destroy its king and leaders from there—this is Yahweh's declaration—
39 Tedae hmailong kah khohnin a pha vaengah Elam kah thongtla, thongtla te ka mael rhoe ka mael sak ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni,” a ti.
and it will happen in later days that I will bring back the fortunes of Elam—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
