Jeremiah 49

1 Ammonnaw taranlahoi BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, Isarel ni capa tawn hoeh na maw. Râw ka pang hane awm hoeh na maw. Bangkongmaw Gad hah Milkom ni a ring teh a taminaw a khopui dawk kho a sak awh.

Of the sons of Ammon-Thus saith Yahweh: Hath Israel no, sons? Hath he no, heir? Why hath, Malkam, taken possession of Gad, Or have, his people, in the cities thereof, made their dwelling?

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, lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh When I will cause to be heard against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, an alarm of war, So shall she become a mound of desolation, And, her villages, with fire, shall blaze, —Then shall Israel, inherit them who inherited him, Saith Yahweh.

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.

Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled Make outcry, ye daughters of Rabbah, Gird you with sackcloth, Lament ye and run to and fro among the fences, —For, Malkam, into captivity, shall go, His priests and his princes, together.

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 shouldst thou glory in the vales, The flowing of thy vale O apostate daughter? She who is trusting in her treasures, [saying, ] Who shall invade, 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 me! bringing upon thee, terror Declareth My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, From all who are round about thee, —And ye shall be driven out every man before it, And there shall be none to bring home the wanderer;

6 Hatei, hote hnonaw hnukkhu Ammon catounnaw hah santoungnae dawk hoi ka bankhai han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.

But afterwards, will I bring back the captivity of the sons of Ammon, Declareth Yahweh.

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.

Of Edom—Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Is there no longer wisdom in Teman? Hath counsel perished from the discerning? Is their wisdom corrupt?

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.

Flee ye turn go down deep to dwell, O inhabitant of Dedan, —For the doom of Esau, have I brought in upon him The time of his visitation.

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 thee, Would they not leave, gleanings? If, thieves in the night, Would they not have taken away what sufficed them?

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, have stripped Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, And to conceal himself, shall he not be able! Spoiled, are his seed, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.

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.

Leave thy fatherless children I, will preserve them alive, —And thy widows, In me, let them trust.

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, thus saith Yahweh—Lo! they who had not been adjudged to drink the cup, shall surely drink, And art thou, the one to go unpunished? Thou shalt not go unpunished, but shalt surely drink.

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, have I sworn, Declareth Yahweh, That, Bozrah shall become, an astonishment: a reproach and a desolation, and a contempt, —And all her cities shall become age-abiding desolations.

14 BAWIPA koehoi pâpho lawk ka thai toe. Miphunnaw koe laicei ka patoun. Kâcoun awh nateh, ama taranlahoi tarantuk hanlah kârakueng awh.

A report, have I heard from Yahweh, Yea, an envoy, throughout the nations, hath been sent, —Gather yourselves together and come against her, And arise to the battle.

15 Bangkongtetpawiteh, miphunnaw thung hoi taminaw ni hnephnap hanlah ka sak toe.

For lo! Small, have I made thee among the 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.

Thy monstrous thing, hath deceived thee, The insolence of thy heart, O thou that inhabitest the hidden recesses of the cliff, That holdest fast the height of the hill, —Though thou set high as an eagle, thy nest, From thence, will I bring thee down, Declareth Yahweh;

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.

So shall, Edom, become an astonishment, —Every one passing by her, will be astonished and hiss, over all her plagues:

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.

Like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and her neighbours, Saith Yahweh, —There shall not dwell there—a man, Nor sojourn therein—any son of the earth-born.

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.

Lo! like a lion, will he come up from the majesty of the Jordan, unto the pasture perennial, But I will wink—I will make him run away therefrom, Who then shall be the Chosen One whom over it, I may set in charge? For who shall be like unto, me? And who shall appoint me, a time? And who is the Shepherd that shall stand before, 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.

Wherefore, hear ye The counsel of Yahweh which he hath counseled against Edom, And his devices which he hath devised against the inhabitants of Teman, —Surely the little ones of the flock shall drag them away, Surely he will cause their fold to be astounded over them.

21 A rawpnae pawlawk ni talai a kâhuet teh a khuikanae pawlawk teh tuipui paling koehoi hai thai e lah ao.

At the noise of their fall, hath trembled the earth, At the outcry, in the Red Sea, was heard its noise.

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.

Lo! as an eagle, he shall mount and dart, and spread his wings over Bozrah, —So shall the heart of the heroes of Edom, in that day, become as the heart of a woman in her pain.

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.

Of Damascus. Turned pale have Hamath and Arpad, For, a calamitous report, have they heard—they tremble, —In the sea, is anxiety, it cannot, rest.

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.

Enfeebled is Damascus She hath turned to flee But terror, hath seized her, —Anguish and pangs, have seized her as a woman in childbirth.

25 Khopui min kamthangnae hoi nawmnae teh bangkong kingdi bo aw.

Alas! is she not forsaken—The city so praised! The citadel I rejoiced in!

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.

Therefore shall her young men fall in her broadways, —And, all her men of war, shall be silent in that day, Declareth Yahweh of hosts;

27 Hahoi Damaskas kalup e rapan dawk hoi hmai ka tâco sak vaiteh, Benhadad im he a kak han.

Then will I kindle a fire in the walls of Damascus, —And it shall devour the palaces 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.

Of Kedar. And of the kingdoms of Hazor Which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote—Thus, saith Yahweh, —Arise ye go up against Kedar, So shall they spoil the sons 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.

Their tents and their flocks, shall they take, And their curtains and all their baggage and their camels, shall they carry off for themselves, —And shall cry out unto them, Terror round about!

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.

Flee remove far away, go deep to dwell, Ye inhabitants of Hazor, Urgeth Yahweh; For Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon—hath counseled against you, a counsel, And devised against you a device.

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.

Arise ye, go up against a nation at ease—dwelling securely, Commandeth Yahweh, —Having neither doors nor bars, Alone, do they dwell:

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.

So shall their camels, become, a prey, And the throng of their cattle, a spoil, Then will I scatter them to every wind even the clipt-beards, —And from all sides of him, will I bring in their doom Declareth Yahweh.

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.

So shall Hazor become A habitation of jackals An astonishment unto times age-abiding: There shall not dwell there—a man, Nor sojourn therein—a son of the earth-born.

34 Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah ni uknae kamtawng nah Elam taranlahoi BAWIPA e lawk profet Jeremiah koe ka tho e,

So much of the word of Yahweh as came unto Jeremiah the prophet, Against Elam, —in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah saying: —

35 ransahu BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Khenhaw! Elam e licung a thaonae hah ka khoe han.

Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Behold me! breaking the bow of Elam, —The beginning 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.

Then will I bring in against Elam four winds from the four quarters of the heavens, And will scatter them to all these winds, —And there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam, shall not come;

37 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka thet hane naw hoi a tarannaw e hmalah Elamnaw hah ka pâyaw sak han. Kaman e ka lungkhueknae ni ahnimouh lathueng rawkphainae ka pha sak han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei. Ahnimouh tahloi hoi ka pâlei vaiteh, he ka pâmit hoehroukrak teh.

And I will cause Elam to be dismayed Before their enemies Even before them who are seeking their life, So will I bring upon them calamity, Even the glow of mine anger Declareth Yahweh, —And will send after them the sword, until I have made an end of them;

38 A siangpahrangnaw hoi kahrawikungnaw ka raphoe vaiteh, Elam vah ka bawitungkhung ka hung han, telah BAWIPA ni a ti.

And I will set my throne in Elam, —And will destroy, from thence king and princes, Declareth Yahweh;

39 Hahoi a to hmalah torei teh, hettelah ao han, Elam taminaw hah santoungnae koehoi bout ka bankhai han, telah BAWIPA ni a dei.

But it shall come to pass In the afterpart of the days, That I will bring back the captivity of Elam, Declareth Yahweh.
