< Jeremiah 49 >

Concerning the Ammonites, this is what the LORD says: “Has Israel no sons? Is he without heir? Why then has Milcom taken possession of Gad? Why have his people settled in their cities?
2 Hatdawkvah khenhaw! atueng pha tawmlei toe, telah BAWIPA ni a dei. Rabbah e Ammon taminaw koe tarantuk kâhruetcuetnae kamthang ka thaisak han. Kingdi la awm vaiteh, a khonaw hmai ni a kak han. Hattoteh Isarel ni a tawn e hno hah a pang han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will sound the battle cry against Rabbah of the Ammonites. It will become a heap of ruins, and its villages will be burned. Then Israel will drive out their dispossessors, says the LORD.
3 Oe Heshbon hramki haw, khuikap haw, Rabbah canunaw khuikap awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Milkom teh a vaihma hoi a bawinaw hoi san lah ceikhai e lah ao han.
Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai has been destroyed; cry out, O daughters of Rabbah! Put on sackcloth and mourn; run back and forth within your walls, for Milcom will go into exile together with his priests and officials.
4 Bangkongmaw na tanghling na kâoupkhai, Oe yuemkamcuhoeh e napui, na tawn e hnokahawi na kâuep teh, apinimaw na tuk han telah ouk na ti.
Why do you boast of your valleys— your valleys so fruitful, O faithless daughter? You trust in your riches and say, ‘Who can come against me?’
5 Khenhaw! na tengpam e taminaw thung hoi na lathueng takinae ka pha sak han, telah Bawipa ransahu Jehovah ni a dei. Taminaw pueng he pâlei e lah awm vaiteh, kayawngnaw hah apinihai bout pâkhueng mahoeh.
Behold, I am about to bring terror upon you, declares the Lord GOD of Hosts, from all those around you. You will each be driven headlong, with no one to regather the fugitives.
6 Hatei, hote hnonaw hnukkhu Ammon catounnaw hah santoungnae dawk hoi ka bankhai han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
Yet afterward I will restore the Ammonites from captivity,” declares the LORD.
7 Edom taranlahoi ransahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Teman dawk lungangnae abaw toung maw. Khokhang kathoum e khokhangnae abaw toung maw. Lungangnae a kahma toung maw.
Concerning Edom, this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Is there no longer wisdom in Teman? Has counsel perished from the prudent? Has their wisdom decayed?
8 Oe Dedan vah kho ka sak e taminaw yawng awh. Bout ban awh nateh, kadungpoung e koe khosak awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ama ka rek navah, Esaw rawkphainae a lathueng ka pha sak han.
Turn and run! Lie low, O dwellers of Dedan, for I will bring disaster on Esau at the time I punish him.
9 Misurpaw ka khi e tami nang koe tho pawiteh, pâhma e ao han nahoehmaw. Tangmin vah tami ka parawt tho pawiteh, a ngai e yit touh a hmu hoehroukrak a tawng han nahoehmaw.
If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleanings? Were thieves to come in the night, would they not steal only what they wanted?
10 Hatei, Esaw teh tak caici lah ka o sak toe. A paten e hah ka hawng pouh toe, hrawk thai mahoeh toe. A catounnaw hoi a hmaunawngha, imrinaw hoi raphoe lah ao vaiteh a ma hai a rawk han.
But I will strip Esau bare; I will uncover his hiding places, and he will be unable to conceal himself. His descendants will be destroyed along with his relatives and neighbors, and he will be no more.
11 Na pa ka tawn hoeh e camo hah, pouk awh hanh, kai ni ka kountouk han. Na lahmainaw ni kai na kâuep awh naseh.
Abandon your orphans; I will preserve their lives. Let your widows trust in Me.”
12 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Khenhaw! manang ka net hoeh e tami patenghai parui pawiteh, nang rek laipalah na hlout han namaw, rek laipalah na hlout mahoeh, na nei roeroe han.
For this is what the LORD says: “If those who do not deserve to drink the cup must drink it, can you possibly remain unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for you must drink it too.
13 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni mahoima e min noe lahoi thoe a kâbo toe. Bozrah teh tami ni kângairu e, pathoe e, kingdi e, lawkthoeumkha bap e lah awm vaiteh, khonaw pueng hai yungyoe hoi raphoe e lah ao han.
For by Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, that Bozrah will become a desolation, a disgrace, a ruin, and a curse, and all her cities will be in ruins forever.”
14 BAWIPA koehoi pâpho lawk ka thai toe. Miphunnaw koe laicei ka patoun. Kâcoun awh nateh, ama taranlahoi tarantuk hanlah kârakueng awh.
I have heard a message from the LORD; an envoy has been sent to the nations: “Assemble yourselves to march against her! Rise up for battle!”
15 Bangkongtetpawiteh, miphunnaw thung hoi taminaw ni hnephnap hanlah ka sak toe.
“For behold, I will make you small among nations, despised among men.
16 Takitho e na meilam hah teh na lungthin kâoupnae hoi na kâdum e doeh. Oe nang lungha rahak monsom kho na ka sak e tami, mataw patetlah ka rasangpoung koe tabu na tawn ei nakunghai, hate hmuen koehoi na pabo roeroe han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
The terror you cause and the pride of your heart have deceived you, O dwellers in the clefts of the rocks, O occupiers of the mountain summit. Though you elevate your nest like the eagle, even from there I will bring you down,”
17 Edom teh kângairu e lah awm vaiteh, voivang ka cet e taminaw ni kângairu telah ati awh vaiteh, ka raphoekungnaw hanlah a kam khuem awh mahoeh.
“Edom will become an object of horror. All who pass by will be appalled and will scoff at all her wounds.
18 Sodom hoi Gomorrah hoi a tengpam e khopuinaw raphoe e patetlah apihai khosak mahoeh toe. Tami ca apihai hawvah awm mahoeh toe telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
As Sodom and Gomorrah were overthrown along with their neighbors,” says the LORD, “no one will dwell there; no man will abide there.
19 Khenhaw! Jordan tanghling ratu thung hoi sendek saring thanae hmuen koe ka luen e patetlah a tho han. Hatei ahni koehoi ahnimouh teh tang ka yawng sak han. A lathueng vah kâtawn hanlah ka rawi e hah ka pouk thai nahanelah, kai patetlae apimaw kaawm. Apipatet ni maw kaie tueng a khoe thai han. Tukhoumkung apipatet maw ka hmalah kangdout thai han.
Behold, one will come up like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan to the watered pasture. For in an instant I will chase Edom from her land. Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this? For who is like Me, and who can challenge Me? What shepherd can stand against Me?”
20 Hatdawkvah, Edom e lathueng BAWIPA ni pouknae hoi Teman taminaw lathueng a pouknae sak han a kâcai e naw hah thai awh haw. Saringnaw thung hoi kanawca e hah la e lah awm vaiteh, raphoe han, a pawngpanae hai kingdi han.
Therefore hear the plans that the LORD has drawn up against Edom and the strategies He has devised against the people of Teman: Surely the little ones of the flock will be dragged away; certainly their pasture will be made desolate because of them.
21 A rawpnae pawlawk ni talai a kâhuet teh a khuikanae pawlawk teh tuipui paling koehoi hai thai e lah ao.
At the sound of their fall the earth will quake; their cry will resound to the Red Sea.
22 Khenhaw mataw patetlah luen laihoi a kamleng vaiteh, Bozrah e lathueng rathei a kadai han. Hatnae hnin navah Edom tami tarankahawinaw e lungthin teh camo kaawm tawmlei e ni ka pataw e lungthin patetlah ao han.
Look! An eagle will soar and swoop down, spreading its wings over Bozrah. In that day the hearts of Edom’s mighty men will be like the heart of a woman in labor.
23 Damaskas tarannae lawk, Hamath hoi Arpad teh kahawihoehe kamthang a thai roi dawkvah, kaya teh lungpout laihoi ao roi, talîpui totouh lungpuennae ao dawkvah, roumnae koe phat thai hoeh.
Concerning Damascus: “Hamath and Arpad are put to shame, for they have heard a bad report; they are agitated like the sea; their anxiety cannot be calmed.
24 Damaskas teh thayung tawn hoeh toe, yawng han a kâcai ei takinae ni a man, napui patawnae ni a man e patetlah lungmathoenae hoi patawnae ni a man.
Damascus has become feeble; she has turned to flee. Panic has gripped her; anguish and pain have seized her like a woman in labor.
25 Khopui min kamthangnae hoi nawmnae teh bangkong kingdi bo aw.
How is the city of praise not forsaken, the town that brings Me joy?
26 Hatdawkvah, hote hnin dawk nawsai naw ni lam dawk a rawp awh vaiteh, taran ka tuk e tongpanaw pueng a kâhmo awh han, telah ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei.
For her young men will fall in the streets, and all her warriors will be silenced in that day,”
27 Hahoi Damaskas kalup e rapan dawk hoi hmai ka tâco sak vaiteh, Benhadad im he a kak han.
“I will set fire to the walls of Damascus; it will consume the fortresses of Ben-hadad.”
28 Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar ka tuk e Kedar hoi Hazar uknaeram taranlahoi BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Thaw, Kedar lah luen, Kanîtholae tami capanaw hah tuk awh.
Concerning Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated, this is what the LORD says: “Rise up, advance against Kedar, and destroy the people of the east!
29 Rim hoi saringnaw a ceikhai awh han. Lukkareirimnaw amamouh hanlah he a la awh han, a hnopainaw hoi kalauknaw a ceikhai awh han. Hote hnonaw dawk kap awh vaiteh, tengpam vah takinae ao.
They will take their tents and flocks, their tent curtains and all their goods. They will take their camels for themselves. They will shout to them: ‘Terror is on every side!’
30 Yawng awh nateh, ahla poungnae koe cet awh. Oe Hazar dawk kho ka sak e taminaw, adungnae koe kho sak awh telah BAWIPA ni a dei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh taranlahoi Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar ni kho a khang teh, nangmouh taranlahoi noenae a tawn.
Run! Escape quickly! Lie low, O residents of Hazor,” declares the LORD, “for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has drawn up a plan against you; he has devised a strategy against you.
31 Thaw haw, ka tawnta e miphun lungmawngcalah khosak e tami, longkha thoseh, tarennae thoseh, tawn laipalah madueng kho ka sak e koe cet haw, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
Rise up, advance against a nation at ease, one that dwells securely,” declares the LORD. “They have no gates or bars; they live alone.
32 Kalauk hah tarannaw ni paru e lah awm vaiteh, maitohu lawp e lah ao han, ahlapoung hmuen koe ka kâkaheisak vaiteh, a rawkphainae naw hah hmuen tangkuem ka pha sak han telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
Their camels will become plunder, and their large herds will be spoil. I will scatter to the wind in every direction those who shave their temples; I will bring calamity on them from all sides,”
33 Hazar teh kahrawnguinaw khosaknae hmuen lah awm vaiteh yungyoe ka ke e lah ao han. Apihai khosak mahoeh toe, tami capa khosak mahoeh toe.
“Hazor will become a haunt for jackals, a desolation forever. No one will dwell there; no man will abide there.”
34 Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah ni uknae kamtawng nah Elam taranlahoi BAWIPA e lawk profet Jeremiah koe ka tho e,
This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah.
35 ransahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Khenhaw! Elam e licung a thaonae hah ka khoe han.
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Behold, I will shatter Elam’s bow, the mainstay of their might.
36 Talai poutnae koehoi kahlî pali touh ka tho sak vaiteh, Edom taranlahoi talai poutnae totouh he ka kâkaheisak han. Elam tami pueng heh pâleihoehnae miphun khoeroe awm mahoeh.
I will bring the four winds against Elam from the four corners of the heavens, and I will scatter them to all these winds. There will not be a nation to which Elam’s exiles will not go.

So I will shatter Elam before their foes, before those who seek their lives. I will bring disaster upon them, even My fierce anger,” declares the LORD. “I will send out the sword after them until I finish them off.
38 A siangpahrangnaw hoi kahrawikungnaw ka raphoe vaiteh, Elam vah ka bawitungkhung ka hung han, telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
I will set My throne in Elam, and destroy its king and officials,”
39 Hahoi a to hmalah torei teh, hettelah ao han, Elam taminaw hah santoungnae koehoi bout ka bankhai han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
“Yet in the last days, I will restore Elam from captivity,”
