Jeremiah 48
1 Moab taranlahoi, ransahu BAWIPA Isarel Cathut ni hettelah a dei, Nebo teh yawthoe lah ao. Rawknae koe a pha. Kiriathaim teh yeiraipo lah ao. Pâmit e lah ao. Misgab rapanim teh yeiraipo e hoi raphoe e lah ao.
Concerning Moab, this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Woe to Nebo, for it will be devastated. Kiriathaim will be captured and disgraced; the fortress will be shattered and dismantled.
2 Moab min kamthangnae a kahma han. Heshbon a rawk nahan kâcai laihoi tho awh, miphun a coungnae dawk hoi tâkhawng awh sei, telah ati awh. Oe Madmen, nang hai tâtueng e lah na o vaiteh tahloi hoi pâlei e lah na o han.
There is no longer praise for Moab; in Heshbon they devise evil against her: ‘Come, let us cut her off from nationhood.’ You too, O people of Madmen, will be silenced; the sword will pursue you.
3 Horonaim hoi hramnae kamthang rektapnae hoi rawkphainae kamthang hah!
A voice cries out from Horonaim: ‘Devastation and great destruction!’
4 Moab teh a kahma toe, a canunaw khuika lawk thai lah ao toe.
Moab will be shattered; her little ones will cry out.
5 Luhith mon dawk ka laihoi a luen awh teh, Horonaim cathuknae koe rawkphainae kamthang hoi kângairunae hah thai lah ao.
For on the ascent to Luhith they weep bitterly as they go, and on the descent to Horonaim cries of distress resound over the destruction:
6 Yawng awh na hringnae rungngang hanlah kahrawng e la patetlah yawng awh.
‘Flee! Run for your lives! Become like a juniper in the desert.’
7 Thaw na tawknae kutnaw hoi na hnopainaw na kâuepkhai dawkvah nang hai man e lah na o han, Khemosh teh a vaihma hoi kahrawikungnaw hoi san lah man e lah ao han.
Because you trust in your works and treasures, you too will be captured, and Chemosh will go into exile with his priests and officials.
8 Kho tangkuem dawk karaphoekung a tho vaiteh kho buet touh boehai hlout mahoeh. Tanghling dawk e ramnaw hai he a pâmit han. BAWIPA ni a dei tangcoung e patetlah a yawn hai raphoe lah ao han.
The destroyer will move against every city, and not one town will escape. The valley will also be ruined, and the high plain will be destroyed, as the LORD has said.
9 A kamleng thai nahanlah Moab teh rathei poe awh, bangkongtetpawiteh, a khonaw teh kho ka sak e tami awm laipalah kingdi awh han.
Put salt on Moab, for she will be laid waste; her cities will become desolate, with no one to dwell in them.
10 Pamda laihoi BAWIPA thaw ka tawk e teh thoebo lah awm seh, thipaling lawng hanlah a tahloi ka hno hoeh e tami teh thoebo lah awm seh.
Cursed is the one who is remiss in doing the work of the LORD, and cursed is he who withholds his sword from bloodshed.
11 Moab teh a nawca hoi a nawm, a laheipadin koe pou ao. Hlaam alouke dawk pahoung boihoeh teh, santoung boihoeh. A kamtuinae lahoi pou a tui teh, a mei hai kâthung boihoeh.
Moab has been at ease from youth, settled like wine on its dregs; he has not been poured from vessel to vessel or gone into exile. So his flavor has remained the same, and his aroma is unchanged.
12 Hatdawkvah, thaihaw! atueng a pha tawmlei toe, ahnimouh rawbawk hanlah tami katha vaiteh, ahnimouh ni na rabawk awh han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei. Ahnie hlaam teh a poum sak vaiteh, rakkâbawng han.
Therefore behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will send to him wanderers, who will pour him out. They will empty his vessels and shatter his jars.
13 Isarel imthung ni a kâuep poung awh e Bethel a kayakhai awh e patetlah Moab ni Khemosh a kayakhai han toe.
Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, just as the house of Israel was ashamed when they trusted in Bethel.
14 Taran tuk hanlah athakaawme taminaw, tarankahawi e taminaw telah bangtelamaw na ti thai.
How can you say, ‘We are warriors, mighty men ready for battle’?
15 Moab teh a rawk toe, a khopui teh hmaikhu lah a coung toe. A nawsainaw pueng he a rawp awh han, telah siangpahrang a min ransahu BAWIPA ni ati.
Moab has been destroyed and its towns have been invaded; the best of its young men have gone down in the slaughter, declares the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts.
16 Moab rawkphainae teh a hnai toe, a rucatnae teh karanglah a tho han.
Moab’s calamity is at hand, and his affliction is rushing swiftly.
17 Nangmouh a tengpam e naw ni ahni ka khai laihoi, a min kapanueknaw ni hai, kalenpounge hoi thakasai poung e sonron teh a kâkhoe toe telah dei awh.
Mourn for him, all you who surround him, everyone who knows his name; tell how the mighty scepter is shattered— the glorious staff!
18 Oe nang canu, Dibon dawk kho ka sak e na tawntanae hah kum takhai nateh, tui kahran laihoi tahungh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Moab ka raphoe e ni na tuk awh vaiteh, na rapanimnaw a raphoe awh.
Come down from your glory; sit on parched ground, O daughter dwelling in Dibon, for the destroyer of Moab has come against you; he has destroyed your fortresses.
19 Oe Aroer dawk kho ka sak e canu, lam teng kangdout nateh khenhaw! ka yawng e tongpa hoi ka kâhrawk e napui hah pacei nateh, bangtelamaw telah tet haw.
Stand by the road and watch, O dweller of Aroer! Ask the man fleeing or the woman escaping, ‘What has happened?’
20 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Moab teh yeiraipo e lah ao teh, he a rawp han. Kâhram laihoi khuikap awh haw. Moab teh rawkphai e lah ao telah Arnon lah pâpho awh.
Moab is put to shame, for it has been shattered. Wail and cry out! Declare by the Arnon that Moab is destroyed.
21 Ayawn ram dawk lawkcengnae a pha toe. Holon hoi Jahzah hoi Mephaath,
Judgment has come upon the high plain— upon Holon, Jahzah, and Mephaath,
22 Dibon hoi Nebo hoi Bethdiblathaim,
upon Dibon, Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim,
23 Kiriathaim hoi Bethgarmul hoi Bethmeon,
upon Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon,
24 Kirioth hoi Bozrah hoi Moab ram e khonaw pueng ahlanae koe e hoi a hnainae koe e naw pueng hai,
upon Kerioth, Bozrah, and all the towns of Moab, those far and near.
25 Moab e ki teh tâtueng e lah ao teh, a loung hai khoe pouh e lah ao, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
The horn of Moab has been cut off, and his arm is broken,”
26 BAWIPA e lathueng a kârasang dawkvah ama hah parui sak awh, Moab teh amae palo dawk a kâkaawk vaiteh panuikhai e lah ao han.
“Make him drunk, because he has magnified himself against the LORD; so Moab will wallow in his own vomit, and he will also become a laughingstock.
27 Isarel nang hai panuikhai e lah ao nahoehmaw. Tamru hoi a kambawng boimaw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnie kong na dei karoitawi na lû na saling.
Was not Israel your object of ridicule? Was he ever found among thieves? For whenever you speak of him you shake your head.
28 Moab dawk kho ka sak e naw khopui hah yawng takhai awh nateh, lungha rahak vah awm awh. Bakhu ni talung kâko dawk tabu a tuk e patetlah awm awh.
Abandon the towns and settle among the rocks, O dwellers of Moab! Be like a dove that nests at the mouth of a cave.
29 Moab a kâoupnae ka thai, a kâoup tangak doeh. A kârasangnae a kâpholennae hoi a lungpatanae hoi a lungkârasangnae naw hah.
We have heard of Moab’s pomposity, his exceeding pride and conceit, his proud arrogance and haughtiness of heart.
30 A lungkhueknae teh banglahai awm hoeh tie hah ka panue teh a kâoupnae ni banghai thokhai hoeh, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
I know his insolence,” declares the LORD, “but it is futile. His boasting is as empty as his deeds.
31 Moab e lathueng kâhram han, Moab hanlah ka ka han. Kirhareseth taminaw hai a ka awh han.
Therefore I will wail for Moab; I will cry out for all of Moab; I will moan for the men of Kir-heres.
32 Jazer khuikanae hlak ka patawn lah ka ka awh han. Oe Sibam misurkung, na dawn hah tui totouh a yam teh Jazer talî totouh a pha. Na paw hoi misurpaw ka raphoekung ni he a raphoe han.
I will weep for you, O vine of Sibmah, more than I weep for Jazer. Your tendrils have extended to the sea; they reach even to Jazer. The destroyer has descended on your summer fruit and grape harvest.
33 Lunghawinae hoi nawmnae a kahma toe. A paw e hmuen hoi Moab ram thung hoi misur katinnae dawk ka misur a baw toe. Apihai nawmnae hoi na katin awh mahoeh toe. Hramnae pawlawk hai lunghawinae pawlawk mahoeh toe.
Joy and gladness are removed from the orchard and from the fields of Moab. I have stopped the flow of wine from the presses; no one treads them with shouts of joy; their shouts are not for joy.
34 Heshbon hoi Elealeh dawk a hram awh, Jahaz totouh ka lawk a kampaw. Zoar hoi Horonaim totouh, Eglathshelishiyah totouh, Nimrim tui hai kingdi han.
There is a cry from Heshbon to Elealeh; they raise their voices to Jahaz, from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah; for even the waters of Nimrim have dried up.
35 Hothloilah, Moab hmuenrasang dawk thuengnae hoi a cathut hanlah hmuitui ka sawi e hah ka pout sak han, telah a BAWIPA ni a dei.
In Moab, declares the LORD, I will bring an end to those who make offerings on the high places and burn incense to their gods.
36 Hat toteh, tamawi patetlah ka lungthin Moab hanlah ao teh, Kirhareseth taminaw hanlah takhawng e pawlawk patetlah ka lungthin hah a cai. Hatdawkvah, karoumcalah ouk a hmu awh e hnonaw teh awm hoeh toe.
Therefore My heart laments like a flute for Moab; it laments like a flute for the men of Kir-heres, because the wealth they acquired has perished.
37 Lûnaw pueng luengpalueng lah ao teh, pâkha muennaw pueng ngaw e lah ao. Kutnaw pueng a e lah ao teh, keng dawk buri kapawn ao.
For every head is shaved and every beard is clipped; on every hand is a gash, and around every waist is sackcloth.
38 Moab imthungnaw dawk lamthungnaw hoi kho takinnaw dawk khuikanae ao. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Moab teh aphu kaawm hoeh e hlaam patetlah a kâbawng toe, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
On all the rooftops of Moab and in the public squares, everyone is mourning; for I have shattered Moab like an unwanted jar,”
39 Nâtotouh maw a rawk toung, nâtotouh maw a hram awh toung. Moab teh yeiraipo laihoi a kamlang botoung. Hatdawkvah, Moab teh a tengpam e taminaw hanlah panuikhai e hoi takikatho e lah a coung.
“How shattered it is! How they wail! How Moab has turned his back in shame! Moab has become an object of ridicule and horror to all those around him.”
40 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, khenhaw! Mataw patetlah kamleng vaiteh, Moab lathueng a rathei a kadai han.
For this is what the LORD says: “Behold, an eagle swoops down and spreads his wings against Moab.
41 Kirioth teh la e lah ao vaiteh, a rapanimnaw vaitalahoi he a raphoe. Hatnae hnin dawk Moab tami athakaawmnaw teh camo ka khe tawmlei e napui ka pataw e lungthin patetlah ao han.
Kirioth has been taken, and the strongholds seized. In that day the heart of Moab’s warriors will be like the heart of a woman in labor.
42 Moab a kahma vaiteh, miphun kuep mahoeh toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA lathueng a kâoup.
Moab will be destroyed as a nation because he vaunted himself against the LORD.
43 Takitho e tangkom hoi karapnaw, Oe Moab dawk kaawm e naw nangmae lathueng a pha, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
Terror and pit and snare await you, O dweller of Moab,”
44 Takinae ka yawng takhai e tami teh tangkom dawk a bo han, tangkom dawk hoi ka tâcawt e tami teh karap dawk a kâman han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, reknae kum hah Moab e lathueng, Moab e lathueng roeroe vah ka pha sak han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
“Whoever flees the panic will fall into the pit, and whoever climbs from the pit will be caught in the snare. For I will bring upon Moab the year of their punishment,”
45 Heshbon tâhlip dawk ka yawng e naw thabaw laihoi a kangdue awh han. Hahoi Heshbon koehoi hmai a tho vaiteh, Sibon taminaw e lathueng a kaman han Kâoupnaw e Moab kho a deng totouh he a kak han.
“Those who flee will stand helpless in Heshbon’s shadow, because fire has gone forth from Heshbon and a flame from within Sihon. It devours the foreheads of Moab and the skulls of the sons of tumult.
46 Yawthoe e lah na o Oe Moab, Khemosh taminaw a thayoun awh, na capanaw san lah ceikhai teh na canunaw santoung awh han.
Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh have perished; for your sons have been taken into exile and your daughters have gone into captivity.
47 Hatei, a to hmalah, Moab santoungnae teh ka thung han telah, BAWIPA ni a dei. Moab lawkcengnae teh het totouh doeh.
Yet in the latter days I will restore Moab from captivity,” declares the LORD. Here ends the judgment on Moab.
