Jeremiah 46
1 In the fourth year of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, the Lord's message that came to Jeremiah the prophet about foreign nations.
BOEIPA ol he Namtom ham tonghma Jeremiah taengla ha pawk.
2 This concerns Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt and the Egyptian army which was defeated at Carchemish on the Euphrates River by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
Judah manghai Josiah capa Jehoiakim kah a kum li dongah Perath tuiva kaep aha aka om tih, Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh a ngawn Karkhemish kah Egypt manghai Pharaoh Neko kah caem sokah Egypt kawng ni.
3 Pick up both your small and large shields, and advance ready for battle!
Photlingca neh photlinglen neh rhongpai uh lamtah caemtloek ham thoeih uh laeh.
4 Put the harnesses on the horses and get into your chariots; take your positions with your helmets on! Sharpen your spears; put on your armor!
Marhang te khit uh lamtah marhang caem khaw cet laeh saeh. Lumuek neh pai uh lamtah cai te met uh laeh. Caempho te bai uh laeh.
5 Why do I see their lines broken and retreating? Their soldiers are defeated. They run away so quickly they don't even look back because they're so terrified by what's happening around them, declares the Lord.
Balae tih a paep neh a hnuk la aka balkhong te ka hmuh. Amih kah hlangrhalh rhoek khaw dae uh tih thuhaelhnah khuila rhaelrham uh coeng. Te dongah kaepvai kah rhihnah te mael uh thil pawh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
6 Even the fastest of them can't get away; the soldiers can't escape. There in the north beside the Euphrates they fall and die.
Kapyang khaw rhaelrham thai pawt tih hlangrhalh khaw loeih thai pawh. Tlangpuei kah Perath tuiva hmoi ah paloe uh tih cungku uh.
7 Who is this that's coming, rising like the Nile, like swirling rivers whose waters flood?
Sokko bangla aka phul tih tuiva tui bangla aka tuen he unim?
8 Egypt is rising like the Nile; its waters swirl like flooding rivers, boasting, “I will rise and sweep over the earth; I will destroy towns and the people in them.”
Egypt tah sokko bangla phul tih tuiva tui bangla tuen. Te dongah, “Ka cet vetih diklai he ka khuk ni. Khopuei neh a khuikah khosa rhoek khaw ka milh sak ni,” a ti.
9 Horses, charge in! Chariots, drive like crazy! Have the infantry advance: soldiers from Ethiopia and Put carrying their shields, archers from Lydia with their bows.
Marhang rhoek te cet lamtah leng rhoek te yan uh laeh. Kusah hlangrhalh rhoek neh photlingca aka pom Put rhoek khaw, lii nuen ham aka tu Ludim rhoek khaw cet uh laeh.
10 But this is the day of the Lord God Almighty, a day of retribution when he takes vengeance on his enemies. The sword will destroy until it is satisfied, until it's had enough of their blood. The Lord God Almighty is having a sacrifice in the north country beside the Euphrates.
Tedae te khohnin tah, ka Boeipa Caempuei Yahovah kah a rhal rhoek taengah phuloh ham tawnlohnah khohnin coeng ni. Te dongah ka Boeipa Caempuei Yahovah taengkah hmueih la tlangpuei khohmuen Perath tuiva ah cunghang loh a cawk vetih amih thii neh a hah la hmilhmal ni.
11 Go and find some healing ointment in Gilead, Virgin Daughter of Egypt! But whatever you use to help you will fail, because there's nothing that will heal you.
Egypt nu, oila, Gilead la cet lamtah thingpi te lo laeh. Si tah a poeyoek la na puh na puh sak tih na saibawnnah hae moenih.
12 The other nations have heard how you were humiliated in defeat. Everyone can hear your cries of pain. Soldiers fall over each other, and die together.
Na yah te namtom loh a yaak vetih na henah te diklai ah khawk ni. Hlangrhalh soah hlangrhalh khaw paloe uh rhoi vetih a rhenten la cungku rhoi ni.
13 This is the message that the Lord gave to Jeremiah the prophet about the attack by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon on Egypt:
Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar loh Egypt khohmuen tloek ham ha pawk vaengah he ol he BOEIPA loh tonghma Jeremiah taengah a thui.
14 Shout a warning in Egypt! Tell everyone in Migdol, and in Memphis and Tahpanhes: Get ready to defend yourselves, because war is destroying everything around you.
Egypt taengah puen lamtah Migdol ah khaw yaak sak. Noph neh Tahpanhes ah khaw yaak sak. “Pai uh lamtah namah ham rhuengphong laeh, na kaepvai te cunghang loh a cawk coeng,” ti nah.
15 Why did Apis your bull god run away? He couldn't stand his ground because the Lord has knocked him down.
Aka lueng nang te balae tih ng'kawt mai eh? Anih te BOEIPA loh a thaek vetih pai tloel ni.
16 Many soldiers trip and fall over one another and say, “Come on! Let's get back home to our people where we were born, otherwise we're going to be killed.”
Hlang loh a hui soah a cungku khaw paloe neh a khoep hae. Te dongah, “Thoo lamtah cunghang kah a vuelvaek hman ah mah pilnam taeng neh mah pacaboeina kah khohmuen la mael sih,” a ti uh ni.
17 When they get there they'll say about Pharaoh king of Egypt, “He just makes a lot of noise. He wasted his opportunity.”
“Tingtunnah aka paan tah longlonah Egypt manghai Pharaoh,” tila hnap a hoe uh ni.
18 As I live, declares the King who has the name “the Lord Almighty,” the king of Babylon will come. He is like Mount Tabor that stands out from the other mountains, like Mount Carmel high above the sea.
Kai hingnah manghai olphong tah a ming khaw caempuei BOEIPA ni. Te dongah tlang ah Tabor bangla, tuitunli ah Karmel bangla ha pawk ni.
19 Pack your bags ready for exile, daughter living in Egypt! Memphis is going to be destroyed, an empty place where no one lives.
Egypt nu taengkah khosa loh namah ham vangsawn hnopai te saii laeh. Noph te imsuep la om vetih khosa a om pawt hil a hnueih ni.
20 Egypt is a beautiful young cow, but a stinging insect from the north is coming to attack her.
Egypt bawnthen vaito aw tlangpuei lamkah pilyang ha pawk rhoe ha pawk coeng.
21 The soldiers that Egypt hired are like calves made fat for slaughter. They will also retreat. They won't stand and fight—they will all run away. Their day of destruction is coming; the time when they'll be punished.
A kutloh rhoek khaw a kotak ah vaitoca bangla toitup. Amih te oeih, hoilae uh vetih rhenten rhaelrham uh ni. Amih kah rhainah khohnin ah a cawhnah tue loh amih a thoeng thil coeng dongah pai uh mahpawh.
22 The Egyptians will retreat with a rustle like a snake sliding away, because the enemy will attack them with axes, coming at them like wood-cutters chopping down trees.
A ol te rhul a colh vaengkah bangla, caem rhoek a khong vaengkah bangla, om tih hai neh thing top bangla anih taengah thoeih uh ni.
23 They will cut them down like a thick forest, declares the Lord, because the invaders are like a swarm of locusts—there's so many of them that they can't be counted.
He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. A duup te a hum pah ni. Kaisih lakah khaw a puh dongah hoem lek pawt tih amih te tae lek pawh.
24 The people of Egypt will be humiliated. They will be handed over to the people of the north.
Tlangpuei pilnam kut ah a paek vaengah Egypt nu te yak bitni.
25 The Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Watch, because I will punish Amon, the god of Thebes, and Pharaoh. I will punish the people of Egypt with their gods and kings, and everyone who trusts in Pharaoh.
Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh, “No kah Amon neh Pharaoh, Egypt khaw, a pathen neh a manghai khaw, Pharaoh neh anih soah aka pangtung boeih te ka cawh coeng.
26 I'm going to hand them over to those who want to kill them, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and his officers. But after all this happens, people will live in Egypt as they used to, declares the Lord.
Amih te a hinglu aka toem kut ah, Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar kut ah, anih kah sal kut ah ka tloeng ni. Tedae he phoeiah ni hlamat kum kah bangla kho a sak eh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
27 But you, descendants of Jacob my servant, you don't have to be fearful. Israelites, you don't need to be discouraged. I promise to rescue you from your distant places of exile, your descendants from the countries where they're being held captive. You will go home to a quiet and comfortable life, free from any threats.
Ka sal Jakob nang rhih boel lamtah Israel nang khaw rhihyawp boel saeh. Nang te khohla lamloh, na tiingan te a tamna khohmuen lamloh ka khang coeng ne. Te dongah Jakob ha mael vetih mong vetih rhalthal pawn ni. Te vaengah lakueng voel mahpawh.
28 You descendants of Jacob, don't be afraid! declares the Lord, for I will be with you. I will completely destroy all the nations where I've scattered you, I won't completely destroy you. However, I will discipline you as you deserve, and you can be sure I won't leave you unpunished.
Ka sal Jakob nang rhih boeh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Nang taengah ka om tih namtom boeih kah a boeihnah te ka khueh coeng. Te ah te nang kang heh cakhaw nang kah a bawtnah te ka saii moenih. Nang te tiktamnah neh kan thuituen vetih nang te kam hmil rhoe kam hmil mahpawh.
