< Jeremiah 46 >

1 The word of Jehovah that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
Namtin vaipi chung changa Pakai thusei ho, Jeremiah themgao heng ahung lhung in;
2 Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh-Necho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates at Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah.
Egypt chung chang thudol asei chu, Judah gam’a Josiah chapa Jehoiakim lengvaipoh kal kumli na-ah, Ephrates vadung pang’a, Carchemish galmun’a, Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar in Egypt lengpa Pharaoh Neco leh asepaite chunga agaljona chu, hitin aseiye.
3 Make ready buckler and shield, and draw near to battle!
Nangma cheh in lum kisemtup unlang, galmun chu manotauvin,
4 Harness the horses, and mount ye horsemen, and stand forth with helmets; polish the spears, put on the coats of mail!
Sakol ho chunga pho sepdoh unlang, sakol chunga toudoh uvin. Na thih-lukhuh kikhuh unlang, nagalvon hou kisemtup uvin.
5 Why do I see them dismayed, turned away back? And their mighty ones are beaten down, and take to flight, and look not back? Terror [is] on every side, saith Jehovah.
Amavang, keiman ipi kamum? Egypt sepaite kichatah in anungjam tauve. Alah uva gal hangpen hojong, tijalih leuvin hung kinunghei louhel in, ajammang tauve, tin Pakaiyin aseiye.
6 Let not the swift flee away, neither let the mighty man escape! — Toward the north, hard by the river Euphrates, they have stumbled and fallen.
Alhai jangkhaipen ho jong ajamdoh aumpon, Gal hangpen hojong atoldoh aumpouve. Amaho chu sahlamgam’a Ephrates vadunbg panga, akipallhu gam uvin, abonchauvin akijam chap gamtauve.
7 Who is this [that] riseth up as the Nile, whose waters toss themselves like the rivers?
Koi ho ham, Nile vadung twisoh khang teltul banga khang a, gamtin hinchup soh chu?
8 It is Egypt that riseth up as the Nile, and [his] waters toss themselves like the rivers; and he saith, I will rise up, I will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.
Egypt mite ahiuve. Twisoh bangin amahon gamjouse achupsoh uvin, khopi holeh asunga cheng ho jouse asumang gamtauve.
9 Go up, ye horses, and drive furiously, ye chariots; and let the mighty men go forth: Cush and Phut that handle the shield, and the Ludim that handle the bow [and] bend it.
Manouvin, nangho sakol ho leh kangtalai ho, Galhang sepaite hung uvin hung delkhom un! Nangho Ethiopia leh Libya chule Lydia miho, thalpi kap themho leh lumdal themho hung uvin, atiuve.
10 For this is the day of the Lord Jehovah of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may be avenged of his adversaries; and the sword shall devour, and it shall be sated and made drunk with their blood; for the Lord Jehovah of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country, by the river Euphrates.
Ajeh chu hiche hi Pakai nikho ahin, amelmate chunga hatching nung Pakai phulah nikho ahi. Chemjam in aban satchap diu, athisan u adonkham leuva chimset ding; Tunia hi, sahlam gam’a Euphrates vadung panga Hatchungnung Pakaiyin, kilhaina gantha khat anei ahi.
11 Go up to Gilead, and fetch balm, O virgin-daughter of Egypt! In vain shalt thou multiply remedies: there is no healing for thee.
Vo nungah theng, Egypt chanu! Gilead a kaltouvin lang, kijen nading lou gahol in; Amavang nakijenna lou le ai hochun nadamsah joulou ding ahi.
12 The nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry hath filled the earth; for the mighty man stumbleth against the mighty, they are both fallen together.
Namtin in najumna thuho ajasoh tan, Leiset chung hi naka ogin adimsohtai. Na galhang penho jong amaho leh amaho akipalhhu gam un, abonchauvin alhuchap gamtauve, ati.
13 The word that Jehovah spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, concerning the coming of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon to smite the land of Egypt:
Chuin Pakaiyin Jeremiah themgao henga, Egypt mite sat dinga Nebuchadnezzar lengpa kigotna chu aseipih in, hitin ati.
14 Declare in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph, and in Tahpanhes; say, Stand fast, and prepare thee; for the sword devoureth round about thee.
Egypt gamsunga samphong uvin, Migdol leh Memphis chule Tahpanhes khopi ho’a, gaphongjal uvin. Galsat dingin kigosan um uvin, ajeh chu nakimvel uva miho chu chemjam in asatgam soh hel ding ahiuve.
15 Why are thy valiants swept away? They stood not, for Jehovah did thrust them down.
Nagal hangteu ibol a lhulham’u hitam? Ajeh chu amaho adinjou lou nadiuva, Pakaiyin ajeplhuh gam u ahitai.
16 He made many to stumble, yea, one fell upon another; and they said, Arise, and let us return to our own people and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.
Amaho khat leh khat akipallhu tou uvin, akiseplhu gam tauve. Chule amaho chu akihouvun,” Hung uvin ipennau gam’a imiteu koma kilekit tauhite. Chule melmapa chamjam’a kon’in jamdoh tauhite, akitiuve.
17 There did they cry, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath let the time appointed go by.
Chutah le amahon, “Egypt lengpa Pharaoh, mi kamtam mi hoitho,” tia aminvo diu ahi.
18 [As] I live, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts, surely as Tabor among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.
Lengpa, Hatchungnung Pakai chun aseiye, “Keima hingjing kahi! Egypt doudin Tabor molsang tobang leh twikhanglen panga Carmel molsang tobang, mikhat ahunge;
19 Thou, inhabitress, daughter of Egypt, furnish for thyself a captive's baggage, for Noph shall be a desolation and shall be ruined, so that none shall dwell therein.
Vo Egypt mite, nathil kigottup unlang, sohchanga chemang dingin gotsan um uvin! Ajeh chu Memphis khopi kisumang a, asunga acheng beihel a khogem’a umding ahitai.
20 Egypt is a very fair heifer; the gad-fly cometh, it cometh from the north.
Egypt khu bongla hoitah tobang ahin; Ahinlah sahlam gamkaiya kon in sel-lhip ahung leng in achunga achutai.
21 Also her hired men in the midst of her are like fatted bullocks; for they also have turned back, they have fled away together, they did not stand; for the day of their calamity is come upon them, the time of their visitation.
Egypt ten athalah u sepaite jong, pannabei bongnou thaochet abangun; Amaho galsat din apang ngamtapouve, akileheiyun ajamtauve. Ajeh chu Egypt chunga gotna nasatah ahung lhung in, amanthah nikhou ahunglhungtai.
22 Her voice shall go like a serpent's; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
Egypt mite chu gul kitholo bangin ajammangtauve. Melma sepaite chu, amanu doudin hiche pan in ahung kitol lut uvin, thingphung kiphuhlhu bangin atuchap jengtauve.
23 They shall cut down her forest, saith Jehovah, though it be impenetrable; for they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.
Pakaiyin aseiye, “Amanu leh amite chu, melmaten thingphung kiphuhchap banga aphuh chap diu; Ajeh chu amaho chu khaokote sanga tamjo hungkon ahiuve.
24 The daughter of Egypt is put to shame; she is delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
Egypt mite kijumso ahitauve. Amaho chu sahlam’a hung kipan miho khutna pehdoh ahitauve.
25 Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, saith, Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, and her gods, and her kings; yea, Pharaoh and them that confide in him.
Hatchungnung Pakai, Israel Pathen in aseiye, “Keiman Thebes mite Pathen Amon leh Egypt mite Pathen chom lengpa Pharaoh leh anung juite jouse talen kamatsah ding ahi.
26 And I will give them into the hand of those that seek their life, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants; but afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith Jehovah.
Keiman, amaho thading gojing, Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar leh asepaite khut a kapehdoh ding ahi. Amavang, khonung tengle, masanga banga kiledoh kit dingu ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseiye, ati.
27 But thou, my servant Jacob, fear not, neither be dismayed, Israel: for behold, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make [him] afraid.
Hijongle kalhacha Jacob, nangma kichahih in; Lung jong lungthoi hih in Israel. Ajeh chu keiman gamla tah’a kon’a nangma kahin lepuikit ding, chule nachilhah’te jong asohchan nauva kon’a hung kile diu ahi. Chuteng koiman Israel chu asuh kichat tah louding, lungmong tah’a chengding ahiuve.
28 Fear thou not, my servant Jacob, saith Jehovah: for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee, but I will not make a full end of thee; but I will correct thee with judgment, and I will not hold thee altogether guiltless.
Kicha hih in, vo kalhacha Jacob, keiman nangma kaumpinai, tin Pakaiyin aseiye. Keiman nangho sohchanga kathechah nau namtin vaipi chu kasuhmang hel ding; Amavang nangho kahoidoh ding nahiuve. Keiman nangho thudihtah a kasuh dih ding, ahinla talen manlouva kakoi louhel ding nahiuve, ati.
