< Jeremiah 49 >

1 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?
Ammon mite chung changa thuhil khat ahung kipen ahi. Hichi hi Pakai sei ahi: “Gad gam lodinga Israel son le pah umlou hitam? Molech hou ho nanghon epidinga khopi sunga na chensah uham?
2 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.
Nikho ho ahung lhun teng leh.” tin Pakaiyin aseijin, “Na khopiu Rabbah douna a gal ka kou ding ahi. Lahlou thil mangthah kiselom banga akhopiu chu gam hel ding, chuleh akimvela kho ho jong kihal lhasoh keiding ahi. Chuteng Israel te gam analah peh uchu aki nung lah diu ahi,” tin Pakaiyin aseije.
3 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.
“Aw Heshbon, kap doh in, ajeh chu Ai khopi chu akisumang heltai. Kap un, Aw Rabbah mite! Lunghemna von chu kivonun, kap unlang peng uvin, Pal dunga chun kiselun, ajeh chu na Pathen un Molech, chule athempu holeh vaihom lamkai ho ada adoi uva gamla tah muna akai mang diu ahi.
4 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?’
Na phaicham leiphat lai na kiletsahpi uvin ahi, hichi ho jong chu hung mangtha ding ahi. Tahsanlhom nu, nanei nagou a na kisongin koiman ima eilothei ponte tin na ngaiton ahi.
5 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.
Ahin ven! Tijat umtah nachunga kahin lhunsah ding, tin Pakai thaneitah chun aseije; naheng na kimvel a chenghon nagam a konin nahin deldoh diu, chule nakino mang naa kona koiman nahuh lou ding, ama ho jeng jong jamcheh diu ahi.
6 Yet afterward I will restore the Ammonites from captivity,” declares the LORD.
Ahin keiman Ammon mite haosatna ka le tundoh peh kitding ahi, “Keima Pakaiyin kasei ahi.”
7 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?
Edom chung changa hichi thuhil hi ahung ki pen ahi, Thaneitah Pakai in hitin aseije: “Teman mi a chihna umlou va ham? Miching mihilchah ding khat jong umlou hel hitam?”
8 Turn and run! Lie low, O dwellers of Dedan, for I will bring disaster on Esau at the time I punish him.
Kihei unlang jammang un! Dedan mite leiko thuh hoa kisel uvin, ajeh chu vangset na nasatah Edom chunga kahin lhut tengleh nang jong gotna ka peh tha ding ahi!
9 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?
Lengpi thei ga kholtup hon, vaicha te din themkhat adalha jiuvin ahi. Janteng guchahon abonin agudoh jipouve.
10 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.
Ahin Edom gam chu ngemsela kalha ding ahi. Chule agam sunga kiselna ding munneo khat jeng cha jong umlou ding ahi. Achateu asopiu pasal ho, chule aheng akom hou jouse suhmanga umding ahin, Edom jeng jong umlou ding ahitai.
11 Abandon your orphans; I will preserve their lives. Let your widows trust in Me.”
“Ahin keiman nalah uva umnalai naochaga ho chu kavenbit ding ahi. Na meithai hou jong kachunga kithopi dia kingai thei ahiuve.”
12 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.
Hiche hi Pakaiyin asei chu ahi, “Mona neilou in athohgim mong ding ahileh, nangin ajat ja na thohgim dading ham! Gotna chang louva naum louding ahi! Thutanna khon a nadon tei ding ahi!” ati.
13 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.”
Ajeh chu Keima min panna kaki hahsel ahi, tin Pakai in aseije, “Bozrah, tijat umna mun leh a mangthai di thilho khoptup na mun hung soh ding: Sapset le nuisatna hung umding ahi. A khopi sung uleh akholai hoa itih a dinga mangthah diu ahitai.”
14 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!”
Pakai koma thuhil khat kajan, hichu: chi le nam ho henga palai ahung kisolin, “Edom dounan kipum khom unlang galsat din kigosa demin umun!”
15 “For behold, I will make you small among nations, despised among men.
Pakaiyin Edom henga aseijin, “Chitin namtin lah a neocha kahin soding, mijouse thet a nahung umding ahi,” ati.
16 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,”
Midang kichat naa na thumop chun nang le nang naki lheplhah sah tan, chule na ki letsah nan lheplhah na umtam ahi. Molsang sang tah ho lah a songpi kulsunga na chengin ahi. Ahin Muvanlai bangin lhang leh a buh sajong lechun, ka tahlhah ding nahi,” tin Pakaiyin aseije.
17 “Edom will become an object of horror. All who pass by will be appalled and will scoff at all her wounds.
Edom chu tijat umtah khat hung hi ding ahi. A lamlha jouse kicha uvintin, akisuh mang muho chu tijatnaa dimdiu ahi.
18 As Sodom and Gomorrah were overthrown along with their neighbors,” says the LORD, “no one will dwell there; no man will abide there.
“Sodom leh Gomorrah chule akimvel’a um khoho kisumanggam tobang ding ahi.” Tin Pakai in aseije, “Koima chenglou ding, koima chan alo lou ding ahi.”
19 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?”
Keipi bahkai Jordan gammang a kona kelngoi abahkhum banga ka hung ding ahi. Edom gam sunga kona kadel doh ding, chule keima deidan a lamkai khat kapoh sah ding ahi. Ajeh chu kei to koi kibanga, chule koiham eichou dinga? Kalungdei a koivaihom naa adoudal ding umham?
20 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.
Ngaijin, Edom leh Teman mite dounaa Pakai thilgon hohi. Chapang neocha hogeija kelngol banga kikai thangding, chuleh a chennau in hojong kisumang soh hel ding ahi.
21 At the sound of their fall the earth will quake; their cry will resound to the Red Sea.
Edom lhuh gin achu leiset chung kithing intin, hesoh gentheija ka-na chu twikhanglen sangdung geija kijapha ding ahi.
22 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.
Ven! Melma chu, Muvanlai in alha ajal a ahung lenlhah banga, Bozrah chu mandinga gangtah a hung leng suh ding ahi. Galhang hattah ho jeng jong numei naoso nat tobanga tasa gimna anei diu ahi.
23 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.
Damascus chung changa hitin thuhil ahung kipen ahi. Hiti hin Pakaiyin aseije: Hamath le Arpad khopi ho kichat tijatnan adim in, ajeh chu suhmanga aum thusoh chu ajaovin ahi. Twikhanglen'a hui le go hattah nun bangin alungsung’u jong aki chol tapouvin ahi.
24 Damascus has become feeble; she has turned to flee. Panic has gripped her; anguish and pain have seized her like a woman in labor.
Damascus atha ahung lhasam tan, amite jouse jam din aum tauvin, numei naosonat kituh chah bangin, atuhchah tan ahi.
25 How is the city of praise not forsaken, the town that brings Me joy?
“Hiche khopi minthang, kipana khopi chu nungsun a umding ahi tai!
26 For her young men will fall in the streets, and all her warriors will be silenced in that day,”
A khangdong hou jong lamlen na lhu untin thidiu ahi. Asepai jouseu kithat gamhel diu ahi,” tin thaneitah Pakai chun aseije.
27 “I will set fire to the walls of Damascus; it will consume the fortresses of Ben-hadad.”
“Chule Damascus khopi bangho meiya ka hal ding, Ben-Hadad leng inpi ho kahal lhah ding ahi.”
28 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!
Kedar le Hazor lenggam teni, Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar in asat chung changa thuhil khat ahung kipen ahi. Hiche hi Pakaiyin asei ahi! “Kedar chu nailut un! Solam a konin agollhang hou chu sumang un!
29 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!’
A gancha houle a khoilu pon jouseo hung kilah peh untin, anei agou le asangongsao hou hung kilah peh diu ahi. Muntin a kichat na thubou kithanga kija ding, aki heina jou seuva kichat naa dim diu ahi.”
30 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.
Naki hinso nadiu vin jam uvin, tin Pakaiyin aseije, “Leiko thuh a kiseluvin nang ho Hazor mite, ajeh chu Babylon leng Nebuchadnezzar in nang ho douna le nangho suhmang dingin kigosan aum tai.”
31 Rise up, advance against a nation at ease, one that dwells securely,” declares the LORD. “They have no gates or bars; they live alone.
“Chetou unlang hiche nomsate khu ga sat un,” tin Pakaiyin aseije, “A miteu achang seh un kot le bang jong umlou nelgam a achengun ahi.
32 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,”
A sangongsao houleh agancha hou abonna nanghoa hiding ahi. Keiman amaho hi huilah’a kathe mangding, mun gamla tah tah a cheng hohi muntin’a kon’a vangsetna achung'uva kalhun sah ding ahi,” tin Pakaiyin aseije.
33 “Hazor will become a haunt for jackals, a desolation forever. No one will dwell there; no man will abide there.”
“Hazor chu Sial hon chennan hin neijuntin, aitih a mihem koima cheng talou ding ahi. Hilai mun a chu koima cheng talou ding, koiman alo lou ding ahi.”
34 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.
Elam chung chang thuhil khat themgao Jeremiah henga Judah Lengpa Zedekiah vaihom lai in, Pakaiya konin ahung in ahi.
35 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Behold, I will shatter Elam’s bow, the mainstay of their might.
Hiche hi thaneitah Pakaiyin asei ahi: “Keiman Elam te thalkap themho kasuhmang ding – agal sat-hou lah’a ahangsan pen,
36 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.
melmaho muntin’a kon a kahin puilut ding, Elam mite chu van thamjol ning li a kona hui a kathe mang ding ahi. Vannoi gamtin a kona kaidoh a umdiu ahi.
37 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.
Keima tah jong Elam melma hotoh kache khom a asukeh lah a kajao ding ahi. Ka lung satna kona manthahna lentah Elam mite chunga kahin lhut ding ahi,” tin Pakaiyin aseije. “Kasuhmang hel masanga amelmateu vin chemjama adeldiu ahi.
38 I will set My throne in Elam, and destroy its king and officials,”
Elam a ka Laltouna kadoding,” tin Pakaiyin aseije. “Chule Keiman alengpao le avaihom hou kasuhmang ding ahi.”
39 “Yet in the last days, I will restore Elam from captivity,”
Ahin phat ho ahung lhun tengle, Elam haosatna ka tundoh kitding ahi, Keima Pakaiyin kasei ahi.
